    • Paragraph 18 – you are still talking about Boston stolen items. About time this was fixed??? Paragraph 19  In any event, the claimant's PS5 gaming device was correctly declared and correctly valued. The defendant accepted it for carriage and was even prepared to earn extra money by selling sell insurance in case of its loss or damage. New paragraph 20 – this the defendant routinely sells insurance in respect of "no compensation" items (a secondary contract contrary to section 72 CRA 2015) new paragraph above paragraph 20 – the defendant purports to limit its liability in respect of lost or damaged items. This is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights act 2015. The defendant offers to extend their liability if their customer purchases an insurance cover for an extra sum of money. This insurance is a secondary contract calculated to exclude or limit their liability for the defendants contractual breaches and is contrary to section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015. New paragraph below paragraph 42 – the defendant merely relies on "standard industry practice" You haven't pointed to the place in your bundle of the Telegraph newspaper extract. You have to jiggle the paragraphs around. Even though I have suggested new paragraph numbers, the order I have suggested is on your existing version 5. You will have to work it out for your next version. Good luck!   Let's see version 6 Separately, would you be kind enough to send me an unredacted to me at our admin email address.
    • i think theres been MORE than amble evidence of that and am astonished that criminal proceedings haven't begun.
    • Yep, those 'requirements' not met to shareholders satisfaction seem to me to be: 1. Not being allowed to increase customer bills by 40% (of which well over 50% of the new total would NOT be investment) 2. 1 plus regulators not agreeing to letting them do 'things in their own time (ie carry on regardless)
    • As already mentioned freely available "credit scores" are fairly useless. All lenders have their own "credit scoring" system, that for obvious reasons they don't divulge. And they're "scored" differently to the freely available ones. As soon as they could, we've always encouraged our two children to use credit cards responsibly... Pay off in full, etc, to generate good history. It's paid off. At quite young ages, they have both obtained loans for cars, mortgage and their credit card limits are through the roof. Personally, I have shifted debt around a lot on credit cards (even financed a house purchase once at 0% 😉) and I've only ever been refused a credit card once, sorry twice by the same company, over many years. They must have something very different in their lending criteria. You're a tight one, Mr Branson.

    • 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.

I have read a few of the threads regarding Moneybarn and am looking for help regarding them.

 

I have had a car on finance through them for about a year and a half,

I have missed several payments but have always made a attempt at paying something

and am now in a position to continue to pay my monthly payments plus a bit more to clear off the arrears.

 

However Moneybarn have issued me with a default and are stating my contract will be terminated on the 19th.

Having spoken to them and sent them a letter (recorded delivery) stating my new proposal

they called me yesterday and flat out refused my offer.

 

They gave me 3 options which are not suitable as I want to keep the car for work purposes and make the increased payments.

 

I have paid over 1/3rd of the total price so understand that they have to get a court order to reposses the car.

However I am unsure what to do next...

..do I just wait for the court order to arrive

and make my offer of payment through them?

 

I have also been charged £18 several times through late payment fees...

.again I have read that these can be claimed back?

How would I go about doing this?

 

I am now not going to contact them by phone but by recorded delivery

as I am sure I will need to build up a paper trail should I have to go to court.

In the meantime I will continue to make my payments that I proposed to Moneybarn that have been rejected.

 

Apologies for the length of the thread and any help going forward would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, keep on making the payments. This is extremely important. The best thing will be if you can make them directly into their bank account so that in order to refuse them they would have to return the payments to you.

 

Write them a letter and tell them that you feel that they are not entitled to refuse payments that you are continuing to make them. Tell them that you look forward to seeing them in court where you will resist the application and that you will show the court that you have been making payments and that they have been trying to refuse them.

 

Also, tell them that the charges that they are living for late payments are excessive and are unlawful. Tell them that if this matter goes to court, that you will bring this to the attention of the judge and that you will explain to the judge that these unlawful payments which could have been applied to the debt are being taken by MoneyBarn under the guise of administrative losses – which clearly they are not.

 

Tell them that you intend to keep on making payments until the entire finance agreement is satisfied. Remind them that under FCA rules, they have a duty to treat you fairly and that if they fail to do this then you will bring this to the attention of the court as well as part of the counterclaim.

 

Send this by recorded delivery.

 

In terms of the excessive charges, I would just all this up for the moment and wait until the agreement is properly back on track and that you are making a proper history of payments. Then at some point you can start to take action to recover the money which they are taking from you for charges.

 

As a final word, I appreciate that you find yourself in financial difficulty – but I think that you had better stick to the agreement from now on. If there is an application to the court then you will probably win the court sympathy on this occasion but if they can show that you have got a history of doing this every time the heat is off then I don't think that you will get much help from a judge. If you really do need this vehicle for work, then you better start factoring this is a essential expense – for your own sake

Hi BArry and sorry to hear of your issues with Moneybarn.

Have you complained to them by any chance? Sometimes complaining helps change things up in your favour.

 

Good news is that these vultures - (Sorry but thats subprime for you) are owned by Provident Financial :)

And that means that you can email up the chain.

 

 

We could do with some help from you.

I've slightly renamed your thread and put it in the moneybarn forum

lots to read here as you've found already

never trust them an inch!!

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Just a quick update,

I have sent 2 letters to Moneybarn,

1 being a letter of complaint regarding the attitude of the company and the way the termination is non negotiable

and also the charges put onto myself.

 

Second letter is regarding my termination

and that I will continue to make my proposed payments regardless of the termination,

and that I look forward to putting my case across to the court when I get my chance.

 

My default ends tomorrow so now just waiting for court papers..

...does anyone know how long this will take.

....I am guessing not too long judging by the way Moneybarn operate.

Just wondered if anyone could give me any additional help.

 

Like I put earlier I have sent of a letter to state that I will continue to make payments..

..I have just yesterday made another payment of £300.....

 

Now I have had my letter of termination

do I just wait for the court order and go from there

or is there something else I could be doing..

 

 

...I read of people complaining directly to the head of the company..

..is this something that I should do?

If so can someone provide me with details on how to do this.

 

Thanks in advance
