    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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.

 

Not been on here for quite a while but I am really stumped with this.

 

Between 1995 and 2000 we had 4 loans from Welcome

3 paid off but one we defaulted on

 

because of all the force tactics and extortionate charges for phone calls and letters I just stopped paying,

I know it was wrong but thought " sod them they have had enough from me "

I did make a successful claim for PPI and got paid out, great i thought.

 

Just received a letter from them today stating irrecords show that I am due a further refund as the original offer did not fully put me back in the position I would have been in if I had never bought PPI in the first place.

I have moved recently but it states

 

" we have previously written to you regarding this with a additional offer of compensation which still remains outstanding".

 

Due to the time that has passed we have recalculated our offer to include additional compensatory interest of 8% per annum and I have enclosed a revised acceptance form for you to sign and return to us.

 

Our additional offer of compensation is ££££££££.

 

It states.

 

" Our offer of redress will expire six month from the date of the letter, once signed and dated payment will be made within 15 working days."

 

They are requesting copied proof of identity, bit suspicious of this as it's from WF and could it be a ploy or [problem] for me to recognise the debt I still owe.

 

Has anyone else had this.

Thanks for the advice, really appreciated.

 

As stated I still owe them money and I think we all know about the underhand tactics of Welcome Financial services and with this in mind would it be possible they are just after me recognising the account, and if there is compensation due then there is a 99% chance they will offset the compensation against what I owe them.

 

If this does happen my question is :

Does or will this offset payment be classed as recognising the debt and open a can of worms.

 

Forgot to mention but put the dates in wrong, we had the loans 2008 - 2012, haven't got a clue where I got them above dates, still over 6 years though.

Just giving you a update.

 

Sent the forms back on the 7th Oct and had no reply back as yet. Stated on the letter received it could take upto 15 days so assuming this means 3 week.

 

Just thought I would let you know.

Hello. What was the outcome of your refund ? Did you get it ?

I have received one of these letters today offering a refund. I was surprised as I think they already knocked off the PPI from my original claim from about 8 years ago.

Sorry, I do apologise but what does that mean ?

 

was it welcome who contacted me or FSCS and who would I speak to regarding this, I have been looking around the interweb but it looks like WF are no longer trading according to the FSCS.

Right.

 

Firstly thank you for all your help in this matter.

 

Been in contact with FSCS and they had no record of any letter sent out.

 

Contacted Welcome and they knew about it, what they owed me in underpaid PPI has been offset against what I owed them from over 6 years ago, which apparently states this on the letter so cant argue

 

So if anyone gets a letter saying they owe you more money and you still owe them then don't bother.

most welcome debts have been sold on and unless the refund is coming from/under the direction of the FSCS they CANNOT offset unless they own the debt

 

if the loan has been sold on...welcome cannot offset unless they buyback the debt.

Mmmm, well.

 

Not sure if the loan was sold on or not to be honest and rang FSCS today regarding the letter and they stated they had no records of sending it.

 

Is there a way I could find out if the debt was sold on ?

 

Also I am almost sure it was a secured loan, would this make a difference ?

 

Just to add, we lost our home due to unforeseen circumstances about 6 year ago and the mortgage company sold it for less than half the true value.

Can't of been sold on

Won't be secured.you no longer own the home it was secured upon

 

Sb in E&W solely means they can't enforce a court judgement..the debt if the OC owns it still exists in their books
