    • dont go near them bunch of scammers! ive removed ref. dx  
    • I used to post regularly in order to provide factual information (rather than advice) but got fed up with banging my head against a brick wall in so many cases when posters insisted black was white and I was writing rubbish. I have never posted anything which was untrue or indeed biased in any way.  I have never given 'advice' but have sought to correct erroneous statements which were unhelpful. The only username I have ever used is blf1uk. I have never gone under any other username and have no connection to 'bailiff advice'.  I am not a High Court Enforcement Officer but obtained my first 'bailiff' certificate in 1982. I'm not sure what records you have accessed but I was certainly not born in 1977 - at that time I was serving in the Armed Forces in Hereford, Germany (4th Division HQ) and my wife gave birth to our eldest.   Going back to the original point, the fact is that employees of an Approved Enforcement Agency contracted by the Ministry of Justice can and do execute warrants of arrest (with and without bail), warrants of detention and warrants of commitment. In many cases, the employee is also an enforcement agent [but not acting as one]. Here is a fact.  I recently submitted an FOI request to HMCTS and they advised me (for example) that in 2022/23 Jacobs (the AEA for Wales) was issued with 4,750 financial arrest warrants (without bail) and 473 'breach' warrants.  A breach warrant is a community penalty breach warrant (CPBW) whereby the defendant has breached the terms of either their release from prison or the terms of an order [such as community service].  While the defendant may pay the sum [fine] due to avoid arrest on a financial arrest warrant, a breach warrant always results in their transportation to either a police station [for holding] or directly to the magistrates' court to go before the bench as is the case on financial arrest warrants without bail when they don't pay.  Wales has the lowest number of arrest warrants issued of the seven regions with South East exceeding 50,000.  Overall, the figure for arrest warrants issued to the three AEAs exceeds 200,000.  Many of these were previously dealt with directly by HMCTS using their employed Civilian Enforcement Officers but they were subject to TUPE in 2019 and either left the service or transferred to the three AEAs. In England, a local authority may take committal proceedings against an individual who has not paid their council tax and the court will issue a committal summons.  If the person does not attend the committal hearing, the court will issue a warrant of arrest usually with bail but occasionally without bail (certainly without bail if when bailed on their own recognizance the defendant still fails to appear).   A warrant of arrest to bring the debtor before the court is issued under regulation 48(5) of The Council Tax (Administration and Enforcement) Regulations 1992 and can be executed by "any person to whom it is directed or by any constable....." (Reg 48(6).  These, although much [much] lower in number compared to HMCTS, are also dealt with by the enforcement agencies contracted by the local authorities. Feel free to do your own research using FOI enquiries!  
    • 3rd one seems the best option, let 'em default, don't pay a penny, nothing will happen, forget about all of this. As for Payplan don't touch them with a bargepole, nothing they can do that you can't, and they will pocket fees. A do it yourself DMP is pointless as it will just string out the statute barred date to infinity.

    • 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.

Morning all,

 

i'm going after GE Money for excessive fees over the past 10 years of my 2nd mortgage.

 

 

So far, i've sent the SAR letter (from on here, thank you)

and actually got the information requested back in under a week

and before the letter saying they were happy to provide the info,

so that was a good start.

 

 

Going to start ploughing through the pages and pages of info but need to know,

 

1. if there is an up to date spreadsheet available to collate the fees

 

2. can I include default fees, admin fees, additional interest, direct debit return fees

 

3. should I add interest on to this initial claim, if so, at what rate?

 

Thanks for the help,

Dave.

hello dave and welcome to cag,

 

i see we are in much same position,seems like court action is the only option with ge .

 

in my claim i included all the charges you have mentioned and debt counselling if they have added any of them.

 

im sure some of the more experienced ones will come along soon with some advice .

 

just out of interest have you paid the charges or have they added them to your account.

 

this is the link for spread sheets i have taken from my posts .

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?330996-Latest-Spreadsheets-PPI-Claims-and-Charges-Claims-Dec-2011

 

good luck with your claim ,

 

 

i will update when i get any joy with my court claim joe

Hi Joe and thanks for the welcome.:-)

 

The charges I am after have been added on to the account and there is also counselling fees too so i'll add them.

 

The SAR returned info for 2 loans,

the 1st was paid off by the second,

but the 1st also has ppi on it (no loan agreement with that lot though, so I need a copy of that)

 

 

so I reckon i'm heading down the 2 claims route.

 

 

one for charges and

 

 

1 for ppi.

 

 

Or can I add them and make reference to both accounts in 1 claim?

 

Cheers,

Dave.

nope 2 claims

 

 

don't forget as you had PPI rollover

you need to calc things carefully

 

 

see link 1 below.

 

 

GE will wriggle and wriggle.

 

 

sadly I don't know of one successful claim thru them directly certainly for PENALTY charges

but simply don't count the loan 2 ppi calc

just the carry over sum

 

 

a % of the refinance was PPI from loan 1

 

 

just follow that bit

Right folks, now the silly season is out of the way, I'm revisiting this.

 

Done the reading as suggested and it's starting to make sense with the rollover ppi amounts and I have c.£2,200 in charges to go at too. Going to start getting some of the maths done and get my 2 claims underway. Will keep you posted.

 

Cheers,

Right folks, bit of a delay with this but underway again.

 

FOS questionnaire done today along with the statint sheet. Please can some one let me know if im heading the right way with the numbers though?

 

Original loan £16000

PPI Added £2011.41

Monthly payments varied due to circumstances and the %age below was used to calculate the ppi portions of each on the spreadsheet

%age to be used in calcs 11.167%

 

Spreadsheet says

 

Monthly payment of ppi - £2535.91

8% simple interest - £2244.01

Total - £4779.92

 

Now, is this the total that I claim, or do i add this figure to the original ppi amount of 2011.41 giving a total claim of £6791.33

 

Also, do i need to calculate the %age of interest that was applied to each payment and add that on too or does the fact that the spreadsheet monthly payment says £2535.91, but the original ppi loan was £2011.41, so does the difference of £524.50 account for this interest that GE applied as part of the loan agreement?

 

Hope this makes sense.

 

Cheers,

Dave.

Ah, that was my mistake. Loan 1 was paid off in 2004, Loan 2 didn't start till 2005. I thought that i had 1 pay off the second but according to the docs provided on the SAR this is incorrect. So, simplified now as only one loan to deal with :oops:

 

Also, when I send the stuff off, do I give 14 days then send a 'letter before action' or wait a full 8 weeks before any follow up?

 

Cheers,

Dave.

Phew! Thanks dx, you're a star!!

 

Finally back to my earlier post, can you clarify the following for me :-)

 

_________________________________________________________________________

 

Spreadsheet says

 

Monthly payment of ppi - £2535.91

8% simple interest - £2244.01

Total - £4779.92

 

Now, is this the total that I claim, or do i add this figure to the original ppi amount of 2011.41 giving a total claim of £6791.33

 

Also, do i need to calculate the %age of interest that was applied to each payment and add that on too or does the fact that the spreadsheet monthly payment says £2535.91, but the original ppi loan was £2011.41, so does the difference of £524.50 account for this interest that GE applied as part of the loan agreement?

how can you re-add the initial ppi again

and the interest they charged again...

 

 

think about it.....

 

 

you have, from the agreement, calculated the % of the loan that was the PPI.

 

 

then you've used that to workout what figure that actually was of each payment you made...

 

 

and those payment already included the PPI and the interest they charged.......

Seems simple when you put it that way lol....seen that many numbers and posts today that it's become a bit of a blur!!

 

Thanks again, it'll be away in the post in the morning.

Right folks,

 

PPI Claim gone in the post and received at the other end so just a waiting game now.

 

Next.............charges on another GE account.

 

Done the CISheet v101 with all default fees, admin fees and dd reclaim fees

and applied the 14 or so % APR from the original credit agreement document.

 

 

Firstly, is this the correct interest rate to apply?

 

 

Do I then also add statutory 8% interest as restitution?

 

Cheers.

you cant label stat int as restitution.

its stat [simple] int 8%

 

 

what you have done is correct

Simple interest it is.

 

I've revisited my interest rate though as having read the credit agreement it actually states that the rate tracks bank of england base rate plus 7%. So see if this sounds right as i'm a little stunned TBH!

 

Listed all 69 charge dates and then put the appropriate BOE rate in the next column. Next to that, ran a quick formula to add 7 to each figure giving me the monthly interest rate applied on each charge date. Auto summed at the bottom of that column gave a figure of 708.25. Divided that by 69 charge dates, gave me a monthly avg of 10.26449%. Used the stoozing apr converter found on another thread which gave an apr of 223.02% compounded.

 

So I presume i put a whopping 223.02% in to the apr box on the spreadsheet?? Then add 8% simple to the total claim from the spreadsheet?

Right i'm convinced i'm wrong, when put it in the spreadsheet, apparently they owe me tens of millions............. so much so that the spreadsheet won't show the numbers lol oops.

 

So, do i ignore the +7%pa bit and just average the BOE interest rate applied at the time of each charge? Then convert that figure to Apr giving 13.07% apr compounded.

 

Or does the 7%pa equate to 7/12 months giving a monthly 0.583% on top of the BOE base rate?

 

Confused again now.......
