    • Ok how about this to the CEO? I know it sounds super desperate but lets call a spade a spade here, I am super desperate: Dear Sir, On 29th November 2023 I took out a loan of £5000 with you. Unfortunately very early into 2024 I found myself in financial difficulty (unexpected bills and two episodes of sickness and the tax office getting my tax code wrong resulting in less pay for two months) and I contacted you (MCB) on 13th February 2024 asking if there was any way I could extend the length of my loan to 36 months. I fully explained why I was requesting this and asked for your help. I did not receive a reply to that email so I again contacted you on 7th March 2024 to advise you of a change in my circumstances which resulted in me having to take out a DMP and asking you to confirm that the direct debit had been cancelled. You would have also received confirmation of this DMP from StepChange but you did not acknowledge receipt of my email. I have only managed to make one payment from my loan but did try and contact MCB to discuss extending my loan, help etc.  I have now therefore fallen behind on several of my debts, yours included, and as a result you have lodged a Cifas marker against my name for "evasion of payment", which has resulted in me having to change banks, which has been an extremely difficult process because of the Cifas marker. I do not feel you have been fair or given me the opportunity to fully explain my situation to you before you lodged the marker against my name. I appreciate it is a business and you have acted accordingly, but I did try to make contact to arrange alternative arrangements and at no point, not even to this day, did I ever intend to not repay my loan. I cannot stress to you enough how much this has affected my mental health. I am having trouble sleeping and my existing health condition has been exacerbated by all of this. What I would like you to do is to please, please remove the Cifas marker and let me make arrangements to pay the loan back through a DMP.  Please sir, I am begging for your help here. I am not a dishonest person and I have never been in a situation like this before. I am desperately trying to make things right but this marker is killing me. Please can you help me? I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully,
    • Just be careful with your language on what you post here - Keep it above board Lets see what you send to the big boss. 
    • I made that payment on 13th Feb, then it all went down hill. 
    • Massive potentially that payment has been made in some form as accompanying evidence to your financial difficulties.  And yes, but add some more zing to the email if it goes to the CEO - You need to make them understand what they have done. And telling the CEO  / MD of the biz what their actions have done to you - It adds to the complaint weighting.

    • 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.

No sorry girls I haven't got my money! GE just been messing about (putting it politely). After the two calls from Gareth Vowels their solicitor which he made on a "without prejudice" basis - first call to negotiate second call to say GE agreed - I've not had any response and no sign of the money. Emailed him, rang him, he ignored me other than eventually sent me an email pointing out that his calls were withut prejudice so couldn't be referred to in court. GE are sub-prime lenders and their solicitors, Eversheds, appear to be sub-prime solicitors (even if they are one of the largest firms in the world - still its quality not quantity that counts). Having worked for a few firms of soliciors and worked for the Law Society at one time I've never encountered such a total lack of professionalism so have advised him that I will be reporting GE to FSA and him to Law Society concerning professional conduct, or lack thereof, and general handling of the case and would now only settle for the full amount plus interest. Got an email back saying he would take his instructions and be in touch "shortly". So looks like this will go all the way to court but ain't so bad because I am getting 8% pa interest (better than an ISA) accruing on a daily basis. I will be making my complaint to FSA and Law Society if nothing comes tomorrow.

 

A word of warning I have a strong suspicion that GE spy on this site and I upset them by posting so much info. So watch what you post!

No nothing to report. Heard nothing further from GE's solicitor. Could have done with it before Christmas and probably would have settled for less. But its probably for the best as I'll get full amount now and have no intention of settling for less than full amount now plus 8% interest. I've not been too well for a few weeks and ended up with pneumonia all over christmas and still feeling pretty rough so just going to just leave it now till hearing which is 19 Feb. Only a few weeks to go. Actually hope it gets to hearing - wouldjust love Judgement to be made. I actually got a Judgement against Abbey on 5 Dec on bank charges even though they settled the day before hearing. Court advised me to go ahead with hearing as I'd requested a Judgement because Abbey didn't bother filing court bundle. Got very nice Judge who made Order against Abbey and made a nominal award for my out of pocket expenses. Would love the same to happen to GE Money.

Thanks Zoot. This one doesn't look like its going to go any smoother but Eversheds are really playing into my hands. On their AQ they requested a stay for 1 month to try and negotiate a settlement which I opposed and Judge didn't allow it. They rang me, we agreed a settlement then they reneged on it. I again offered to settle for a smaller amount for quick settlement and they ignored it. Going to look really good to the Judge. Just been reading sammyjammy's thread - Eversheds seem to be playing games - doing their best to intimidate.

Whilst reading through my file (getting ready to prepare court bundle which has to be filed with court by 3 Feb at latest) I noticed on GE's Allocation Questionnaire that where it asks if they have attached fee for filing allocation questionnaire they have ticked the box marked "NO". Does anyone know why they haven't paid fee for filing their AQ and does it have any bearing on the case?

The defendant doesn't have to pay court fees including allocation fees. These are all born by the claimant as they are the ones asserting the claim. This is based on the principle that until the defendant is proved to be in the wrong they should not bear the costs of a claim. This is desiged to prevent vexatious claims without merit.

Thanks Zoot. Sorry I pm'd you as well on this as I didn't realise you were on forum.

 

Looking through the various threads it will be interesting to see what happens in my claim as Eversheds didn't provide GE's Defence to my claim, they only took over conduct of the case after Defence had been filed by another solicitor. The Defence to my claim is pretty weak (and that's putting it mildly) and doesn't mention anything like counterclaims etc that I see from other threads Eversheds have started to do. Presumably it is too late for them to attempt to counterclaim now?

Hi Sue, hope you are feeling better now. I've got no counter claim but as you've seen they are trying to get it moved to multi track, I've written a letter to the court pointing out why this isn't necessary and am waiting for something back from them. If Eversheds are seeking to intimidate then they couldn't be more wrong, I'm actually hoping there is a hearing to discuss it, its getting quite exciting. The AQ was an exact copy of several others that have been received on the forum, they must have a good photocopier!

 

Can't believe you still haven't heard anything from them, not long to wait now though!
