    • 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,

 

I have two or three charges on my home as a result of unsecured (credit card) debt from about 10 years ago.

 

These charges do not appear on my credit report as they are over 6 years old.

However, if I try to sell my home, can the creditors (who are all debt purchasing companies and who all bought the debtor account for pennies on the pound and then turned it into a secured charge through a CCJ) impose the charge and block the sale of the property unless I pay them the full sum of the old debt?

 

I'd really like to know where I stand on this

, as I have my mum's care home bills to pay as well as my own living expenses.

 

Thanks.

charging orders?

see the charging orders sticky for eg

they prob wont block a sale, rather just try and get their payment upon sale, if applicable.

need to state what type of interest the charges relate to.

They may require an undertaking from your conveyancer that they will be paid from the proceeds of sale, as part of allowing the sale to proceed (the same way a mortgage company does for the outstanding mortgage settlement figure)

Is the house in joint names?

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...

The house is not in joint names, just mine.

 

What I wanted to know was that, if my credit score is clear (which it is completely) because the debts are over 6 years old, how can these charges still be invoked upon sale of the house?

Yes. A charging order (if registered at the Land Registry) doesn't expire at 6 years, in the same way a CCJ* doesn't expire (even if no longer shown on a credit report).

 

* Yes, a CCJ would need the court's permission to enforce after 6 years, but it hasn't actually expired.

A charging order wouldn't need the court's permission to enforce after 6 years, unlike a CCJ.

So a charging order would legally allow a debt purchasing company

who bought a debt 10 years ago for 3p on the pound

to extort 33 times the cost of what they paid for the (originally unsecured) debt

from the sale of my home

which I have worked to pay the mortgage for 20 years?

 

Is that right?

Is that legal?

Is that ethical?

Is that honest?

 

This is not right.

 

I want to be able to buy the debt back for 50% of what the last debt purchasing company paid for it.

It think that's fair.

 

Otherwise I face a retirement of poverty and want.

 

Is there no legislation in place that will defeat this stupid calumny?

 

I thought we were a civilised country?

Clearly not.

- well there was yes, why didn't you defend the CCJ?

 

I thought we were a civilised country?

Clearly not.

that's why DCA's make and portfolios [the phishing lists]

change hands for so much money

 

but yes its all bogus in a way.

 

but sorry if you didn't defend the judgements

as above IF you didn't defend

not assuming you didn't

 

thus you say you did..

 

sadly we see so many CCJ's / CO's are the result of not defending.

 

shame you didnt discover cag all those years ago

i'm sure we could have helped avoid the CCJ's/CO's

Yes, indeed it is a shame I had not discovered CAG and the other useful resources, some of which, of course, were not available then.

 

I defended it but could not afford a lawyer. I turned up at court and conducted my own defence, but the debt purchasing company had hired a barrister who was able to convince the judge (or, let's face it, a stipendiary magistrate) that I was wrong and the debt purchasing spiv was right.

 

This resulted in the injustice which persists to day.
