    • In my experience (not with car payments) but with many other things, my partner has been ill and signed off in the past and we have been unable to meet various commitments.  Naturally if you ring the call centre they are going to fob you off and tell you you must pay, that's why that never ever works. I would obtain a note from her GP listing all her health issues plus medications plus side effects, then write to the finance company with a copy of it, explaining the situation, as you have here, asking for a payment holiday. Perhaps mention that the car is very much needed for hospital appointments etc. It's likely the finance company would rather you pay till term end than, chase you for money they will never see, and sell the car at auction for a loss,  You can search some of my threads going back years, advising people to do this for Council Tax, Tax Credits, HMRC, Even a solicitors company and it always works, because contrary to popular belief people are reasonable.
    • Sorry, I haven't ever seen one of these agreements. Read it all and look out for anything that says when she can withdraw and when she is committed to go ahead. If it isn't clear she may need to call the housing provider and simply say what you posted here, she doesn't want to go ahead and how does she withdraw her swap application?
    • Thank you! Your head is like a power bank of knowledge.  Her health issues are short term, due to a relationship breakdown she took it pretty hard and has been signed off work on medication for 3 months. She only started her job in February 24 so does not qualify for any occupational sick benefits, which is where the ssp only comes in. (You will see me posting a few things over the coming days, whilst I try and sort some things for her)  I sat with her last night relaying all this back and she does want to work out a plan, she was ready to propose £100 for the next 3 months and then an additional £70 per month onto of her contractual to "catch up" but Money247 rejecting the payment holiday and demanding £200 thew her, which is why I came on here.   
    • I've looked at your case specifically more.   Term 8bii reads " when, in accordance with instructions from the Customer or the Consignee, the Consignment is left in a safe place" Their terms choose to not define safe, so they are put to proof that the location is safe. If your property opens onto a street its a simple thing of putting a google earth image and pointing out that its not a safe place

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Hi Folks

Just a quick up-date

 

 

got a reply which must be a standard first letter saying they recieved my letter and are starting an investigation and will inform me of there finding before 5th October 2016 this being eight weeks from the date they recieved my letter.

 

I take it i just wait and see what there finding are ????

 

As ever thanks for all your help its took along time to get this far but the wheels are now in motion.

Well if you used one of the library templates then it should have given a 14 day deadline, ignore the 8 weeks they state and stuck to YOUR timeframes.

 

If youve had no satisfactory response after 14 days + allowing an extra 2 for postage, move onto the Letter Before Action.

 

 

Again you'll find it in the library, shouldnt really need much adapting as it basically the same as the prelim with Letter Before Action as its heading, send an updated CI sheet to reflect the additional days and a further 14 day timeframe.

 

If this expires without a satisfactory response then its time to issue the claim, either via mcol or manually by post to ccmcc.

 

You must be sure you are prepared to issue court proceedings, otherwise there is little point continuing.

 

GE will only begin to take things seriously once a claim has been filed.

Thanks martin for your speedy reply the template letter that i used from the library

did not have any time frames on it.

 

I will draft another letter from the library ensuring it does have the 14 day time fram on it

 

Could you give me the full meaning of mcol and ccmcc as for being prepared to issue court proceedings

i have no problems or issues with seeing them in court the sooner the better in my eyes.

The same as they were prepared to put me and my family on the street.

My apologies for the acronyms, we kinda assume people know.

 

MCOL - Money Claim Online- you can issue a claim this way and pay the fee by debit card.

CCMCC- County Court Money Claim Centre - Use this postal option if you dont like using online or if you qualify for fee remission via form EX160. This remission is for those on low income and benefits with less than £3000 savings, you can check with a form EX160A

Hi martin i am using the template letter dx100 gave me the details in post 43 this has nothing about time frames shall i just add another paragraph stating 8 weeks is unsatisfactory and they give me a satisfactory response within 14 days of the date of the letter do i add anything about taking legal proceedings at this point.

I will do this tonight and get in the post tomorrow

Also i cant find the letter before action.

The LBA is pretty much the same as the preliminary request for the repayment of charges, except its headed "Letter Before Action"

 

No need to refer to the 8 weeks they have stated, just say " Should these unlawful fees not be refunded, with interest, as per the enclosed spreadsheet within 14 days from the date of this letter, county court action will commence without further notice.

 

As you have already sent a request for repayment, you are now moving onto the LBA

Should i put that paragraph about the unlawful fees you sent me at the top of the letter or make it the last paragraph i am thinking they may just read it and put it to one side if i put it at the bottom thinking i have just sent the same letter ????

No that can be the final paragraph

Hi quick update

They have replied to the second letter I sent 24/8/016 (signed for the following morning 25/8/2016)

they are saying they are not in a position to tell me the outcome because I am awaiting further information in order to complete the investigation (I take it this must be in house because they have not asked me for any information).

 

They then say please be assured that they will try to provide a full response asap and I will hear from them in any event within the next four weeks.

 

I know what you have said previously do I send a letter before action or do I just go down the N1 route now without any more contact with them

Thanks

If your letter of 24/8/16 was a LBA then you move onto the N1 and file your claim, if not send a LBA

Hi starting to fill in the N1 Form i will submit it on line as it's cheaper too do so i have a couple of questions i am not sure on how to answer

1: Do i put the value of the claim in as it will not include court costs at this stage and may increase further?.

2: Brief details of claim? do i put claiming back unlawful charges.

3: Where or how do i sign the form? as i am doing it online and do not have an electronic signature.

4: Does my claim include issues under the human rights act 1988 yes or no?.

5: The issue date is the date i submit it online yes or no?.

6: Finally can i charge them for stress caused by them with all the constant phone calls they were bombarding us with?.

Thanks once again for your help and support

3. No need to sign, just type it in the box

4. No, it does not

5. No, the court will give it an issue date once they are happy its correctly completed.

6. No, you cant include that

Cant see a reason as long as you have the correct program on your pc to read the type of document it is.

 

It may be worthwhile downloading openoffice, its free and covers most doc types.
