    • 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 all, I'm new to this so unsure how to get this into the correct forum? any help is appreciated.

 

To cut a long story short,

2 alleged Halifax debts were sold to Cabot in 2012 and I have had nothing but problems from the start with them.

 

 

in Sept 2014 I sent 2 CCA requests for the alleged debts and got the standard response from them and these accounts were on 'Hold',

 

 

however in Jan '15 I received a letter from Cabot stating that they were no longer going to pursue ONE of these debts.

I have heard nothing about the other one since,

 

I have since sent a letter to Halifax to see if they actually have a copy of the original CCA (dating back to May 2005)

but their response was for me to send for a SAR and I needed to put my signature on the letter to prevent fraud?? (I have not done this).

 

Should I send a follow up letter to Cabot asking what is happening or should I 'just let sleeping dogs lie'

 

any suggestions on next course of action?

If you have already sent your CCA request off to cabrot and they have failed to respond, then let sleeping dogs lie.

 

Ignore them and pay nothing until they send you the CCA, and an enforceable one at that!

How old are the accounts?

What are they?

How much?

 

Have you checked your credit file?

thanks. I have not paid anything since I started this dispute with them.

 

 

The accnt they have given up on is from 1997 CC (approx. 8,000) ...good result (is there a chance this will be sold to other DCA to take a chance with?). The other is a loan (approx. 10,000) from may 2005 but have not heard anything since the standard 40 day letter they sent along with the accnt being on hold.

Cabot rarely ever have the correct CCA for their accounts. Until they send you a compliant response, ignore them. I would also report them for misleading you as they are saying you need to say them for a CCA.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

So the loan from 05, when was the last time you paid/acknowledged this?

 

What does your credit file say?

Bet these don't show on there.

The last time the alleged debts were acknowledged/paid was Sept 14,

 

 

I stopped both payments until they could action my CCA request.

 

 

Both debts were removed from my credit file in mid '13 so nothing now shows,

although I do check it every now and again to make sure nothing has re-appeared,

as I am now in a lot better position than I was a few years back.

 

 

I've heard horror stories about cabot reconstituting these CCA request

and trying to obtain CCJ's even though they can't supply CCA's.

Ok, Bad news is the debt will now not be Statute Barred until Sept 2020 or if you live in Scotland Sept 2019.

 

If Cabot tries to obtain a CCJ with a reconstituted CCA then immediately open up a thread in the legal section and please include a link to this thread for history information.

NEVER telephone a DCA

If a DCA rings you, refuse to go through the security questions & hang up!

It says you have ''Insurance loan''? that sounds like another name for PPI to me?

And the * next to it suggests there must be other footnotes which describe this 'insurance loan' so correct they've not sent you everything.....

 

Are you still paying anything at the moment?

No, I haven't paid anything since Sept '14 when I first sent Cabot the CCA request.

 

In relation to the PPI/insurance

this was dealt with a couple of years ago to my surprise as they contacted me direct. and has been settled.

the other foot notes are a photocopied sheet containing 'Key notes' in relation to the PPI. ie what is covered etc.

 

im a bit unsure if this actually holds any weight? and whether I start my payments again?

So you haven't posted up all they sent?

 

For the best advice, it is better to post up everything they sent you in relation to your CCA request.

I have not received any T&C's . all I received was the scan above and 2pages in relation to the PPI / loan repayments cover. nothing on these pages has been signed as they appear to be for information only. I did not realise these would be relevant to any CCA request?

 

 

I will scan these sheets but I'm not sure what purpose this serves though?

I have still not heard from Cabot in relation the requested CCA.

 

 

I sent Halifax a SAR request which has recently come back,

they have sent back copies of what Cabot had already sent me months ago (copies of agreements but no T's & C's etc).

 

 

Does anyone know where I stand with this as it looks like even Halifax do not hold all the relevant documents.

 

 

They have also sent screen shots of emails between Cabot and Halifax where they are requesting the documents back in July,

but I am still yet to hear from Cabot?

 

 

surely if they had the correct info they would have been back in touch by now?

 

 

its now been over 12 months since the original request.

if anyone has any advice on this it will be gratefully received.

As already advised, sit on your hands, the ball is firmly in their court now, and they know it.

 

There is nothing for you to do.
