    • 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.

Welcome secured loans/charge - sold to Alpha/Prime -repo received - ***Claim Dismissed***

Don't fill it on online - take the forms to the court office (after taking a copy of it all for yourself). You need to complete the income and expenditure part of the form correctly in case you are asked to substantiate it and make an offer to pay towards the arrears each month i.e you pay the normal instalment of £231.49 plus an extra amount towards the £1,620 arrears

 

I have to go out now but will come back to you tomorrow with instructions for the form and a draft defence.

 

You wouldn't receive a loan agreement from the new company, the one that was signed with Welcome is still valid - the new company have just taken it over.

Thank you

 

Where on earth have this alpha got the arrears figure of £3,342.42 from?

 

Even the dates on the rider with regards to deed of variation are incorrect to what is on land registry on the supposedly date the bad debt was sold

 

Is there anyway I can get a breakdown from this company of how they have got this figure?

 

They have still not sent me any copies of anything that sent to old addresses. I requested these early march

OK,

 

Affixed is the statement to go with Question 27 of the N11M defence form. In the box at Q.27 you write - please see affixed statement and supporting documents.

 

 

At the top of the statement you need to enter the info (obviously remove the xxx's) - you will find the info on the Claim for possession. Read the statement through carefully - you will see that I have included an offer of £50.00 per month towards the arrears as that's an acceptable amount for such a small amount of arrears.

 

 

You will then need to take copies of the two letters referred to in the statement - they need to be affixed to the back of the statement and then to the defence forms.

 

 

I have also affixed a budget sheet which you need to complete before filling in the financial information on the defence form so you get the info right and it shows you have £50 left over to pay towards the arrears (if you show too much left over each month the judge will expect you to pay it all towards the arrears). The budget sheet is in Excel and calculates automatically as you fill it in.

 

 

In actual fact you don't really need to fill in the N11M - you can just take the statement, letters and that budget sheet to the court and hand it in as your defence pack - it's quite normal.

Affixed letter to Alpha, you need to enter your name & address, their address and their reference number. Send by Recorded Delivery (or special delivery if you can afford the £5) so they have to sign for it. Enclose the letter from Welcome stating they had taken back the £7888

Before the sale of the account I had made a complaint to the FSCS regarding miss-sold PPI and they ordered Welcome to refund £7,888.39 back to the account – please see affixed letter. Welcome wrote to me on 4th April 2017 advising that they had taken the amount of £7,888 back from Alpha – copy letter affixed.

 

Shall I edit this to?

Yes you sign the letter, then take a photocopy before posting. Keep the postal receipt safe so you can check on the royalmail website to print off their signature thus proving they got the letter. Keep that safe also in case we need to show it in court if they don't reply,

I've done that on each letter with alpha. Don't you worry. The rest I didn't sign as they didn't need to be.

 

Shall I also attach the original welcome complaint to court docs

No need to add the complaint - you got a result from the FSCS which explains it all.
