    • Thanks DX , true I was reading it as my own licence when I can now see it is the VED thanks for the clarification. As for the payments that does make sense and I will give them a call today. I have to watch the date as I have 21 days from the 29th May to respond to plea of guilty or not.
    • This is the latest response from IDR. I know exactly what has happened - I left Qatar in 2006 leaving behind card debt of QAR13,000 (unintentionally, I thought it was paid off). When I visited Qatar for a weekend in 2012, I was blocked from leaving the country - ended up having to go to the Court, met with the bank and negitiated a settlement  - they wanted about QAR90,000 in total and supposedly agreed on QAR40,000 to settle completely. Unfortunately, I only have a pay-in receipt for that and no confirmation the whole debt was settled: I was so focussed on getting the exit ban lifted. Anyway, I left and I have visited Qatar since then with no issue. My concern is that the statute of limitations  will run from 2012, rather than 2006. Should I continue to ignore or explain to IDR that I don't agree there is an exisiting debt? IDR 10062024 redacted.pdf

    • as with some of your threads in the past. you are not reading things carefully and understanding things properly by going off on assumptions. not sure where you are getting your driving licence is being revoked from? nowhere do they use that word. nothing to do with it. vehicle excise licence. (Road Tax), a VEL cannot be revoked only voided. you are also wrong and nowhere does the DVLA state they cancelled the DD.  the court summons clearly states in the DVLA statement: it was your cancelling/reclaim of the DD on 15-02-2024 that caused this, NOTHING to do with the DVLA, they did not revoke the VEL. as they received no payment, on 02.05.2024 the VEL was Voided. it appears you have got the new DD setup wrong to the wrong DVLA account/ref number/VEL number. they have not received the payments to the correct VEL. i would be ringing DVLA and finding out where these payments are on their system and get them attributed to the correct VEL. that should solve the problem.

    • 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 calculated the charges and interest, taken that off the mortgage outstanding figure.

Then calculated the original amount of mortgage by 5.05% (mortgage rate) and divided by twelve, to calculate what I should be paying per month.

I intend to pay this amount per month, plus a little more in case my calculations are wrong.

 

I will send a letter to mortgage company explaining what I am doing and why.

Is the amount that you have arrived at anything like £70 less than you have been paying since going to court?

£1250.

 

Hi Fielder.

 

I had misread your thread and thought this was the amount of the arrears. I now see that the arrears were more than this.

 

Can you please confirm what the court ordered you to pay above your mortgage payment, and for how long.

 

When calculating the charges that you want to claim back, please bear in mind that you cannot claim back solicitors costs, especially when it's been to court. Unless the court specifically says you don't have to pay them for some reason, they will usually allow them to be charged, although I don't believe that they can charge interest on them.

I have just redeemed a mortgage with Redstone/Melanite.

 

I tried to get a breakdown of the redemption figure they gave my solicitor, rang them, wrote to them, but they have not broken down the figure.

 

I calculate that it is roughly £2,000 more than it should be. (I have arrears and many charges added). Luckily for me I have been able to pay all that they asked for.

The mortgage has been redeemed now but I am not going to let this go.

 

I have written to them five times since 28th August 2018. Not even an acknowledgement of my complaint letters, and no breakdown of the redemption figure.

 

I have contacted FOS and told them the situation, but I have to wait eight weeks for Melanite to respond.

 

They are completely inefficient and I think are not complying with the rules. I definitely can say that they are not open and clear with their dealings with customers.

 

I'm not sure what I expect from this post, but, wanted to get it off my chest anyway!

Thanks dx

 

Yes they have charged for insurance, failed direct debits, £50 a month arrears fees, non-existent agents, anything they could think of they added onto the mortgage!

 

But not PPI, I never signed for that. But what is MPPI?

 

Also couldn't find other threads on Redstone, where are they?

MPPI is mortgage PPI sometimes hidden

Had a look at other threads on Redstone, all more or less same as my experience.

What a company!! How are they allowed to carry on trading and ripping people off as they do.

 

I will add all charges etc. to spreadsheet and send it to them. With another letter listing all my concerns.

 

FOS have given me a name to send letters to, so that's what I will do

This thread had been resurrected very kindly by the site team and I am very grateful for any advice that can be given.  

 

I wrote to Melanite on 1st September 2018, had a reply on 31st October 2018.  They summarised my complaints and responded individually to them, I want to challenge their responses but not sure how to effectively.  

I have attached my letter to them.  Below is a summary of how they responded, I didn't want to make the post too long and drawn out so hopefully this explains

  

 

 

Their reply states that the fees have been applied fairly and they do not consider refunding these

 

The things that happened more than six years ago they unfortunately are unable to investigate. 

 

They follow rules dealing with complaints set out by FOS and is six years limited and consequently will not consider 

 

The charges they reviewed and consider  correctly applied

 

They couldn't find any evidence regarding District Judge complaint

 

And the SPO comment I made, they said that they will not comment on Redstone's actions

 

My complaint of the terrible way they handled the redemption was disappointing on their part and they have brought the matter to the attention of the team leader and it won't happen again

 

They offered £25 because they didn't respond to my letter querying the redemption statement

the 6yrs limit for complaining about reclaiming charges runs from when you became aware you could reclaim unlawful penalty fees etc, if  if you met that criteria, then any fees from day one of the mortgage are reclaimble.

 

how much did your CISHEET come to ? 

can we see it?

that is all over the place

very repetitive

and mentions things like:

the pre action protocol

and

the consumer credit act 

one of which is not applicable to a mortgage,

the other didn't exist in 2009.
