    • Wait until you get a refund from the purchaser before accepting anything else. Please will you post up the text of the email that you received.  Make sure that you look after the text that you received from the purchaser
    • I’ve just received a letter from a debt collection agency called Intrum about an old Halifax credit card debt, they have never been in touch before and the letter says that because I have failed to contact them they are passing on to a company called Resolvecall who specialise in home visits. This debt is from about 14 years ago when I got into some financial trouble, I had a default on file but that dropped off around 4 years ago. Is there anything I can do with this as I don’t really want people coming to my house, thanks in advance? 
    • Just wanted to check if anyone knows, I'm in the process of retrieving the transcript. There was no time frame given in the appeal judges directions, does this mean none applies or is there an unwritten timeframe that applies as a default for these things? 
    • I left a trustpilot review and P2g have emailed me with the obligatory apology and have refunded the postage costs and are will to give £10 extra pre pay as a good will gesture. However,  as i wrote this the Buyer has just txt.me.to say they have received the parcel !  So obviously im now going.to suggest that she pays via Paypal ... I rang her this morning to see if it had arrived but she said she was on holiday and there was someone in her house she would have to contact to see if it had arrived which she obviously has ... So now i know its been delivered i cant go for P2g But i Can accept the exta £10 ...
    • The defendant in this case is Parcel2Go.com Limited The claimant sent a parcel using Parcel2Go Ltd as a broker and Evri as the shipper via the Defendant's service containing which contained two handmade bespoke wedding trays to a customer with  under  tracking number P2Gxxxxxxxx. The parcel was never delivered although the defendant stated that three attempts had been made to deliver the parcel.  The claimants customer waited in for four days to receive the delivery but no delivery was attempted. There was no communication with the claimants customer.  Despite many web chats and emails the parcel was not delivered and on the Parcel2Go website it stated that the customer had refused delivery. This was not true as no delivery had been attempted.  I was The Defendant informed me that the parcel was being returned to me but after waiting three weeks I was informed by the courier that the parcel was lost. I was offered compensation of £20 + shipping fee which I refused and after sending Parcel2Go a Letter of claim this was increased to £75 which I also refused. The Claimant did not purchase the Defendant's insurance policy as requiring people to pay extra for rights already guaranteed under the consumer rights act 2015 is contrary to section 57 and 72 and therefore unenforceable. The Claimant rejected the Defendant's standard compensation offer. It is clear that the defendant is responsible for the loss of the parcel as they did not act with reasonable care and skill when handling the claimants parcel, contrary to section 49 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015.   By failing to ensure the safe delivery of the Claimant's parcel the Defendant breached section 49 of the CRA 2015.   AND THE CLAIMANT CLAIMS £370.00 being the value of the lost goods £xx.xx being the price of shipping and interest pursuant to s69 cca 1984.   See what BF thinks but I think something like this is better. Remember you are suing P2G not evri.

    • 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,

 

Just to update the forum, I have been making all payments on time since January 2019. This includes contractual monthly payment plus £500 towards the arrears. 

 

As I have paid 6 months payments on time, can I ask BM to capitalise the arrears? Last week I received phone call from BM to discuss my account but i asked them to send me in writing. 

 

Can you guys please advice whether I should request BM to capitalise the arrears as currently mortgage is showing in arrears on my credit report file. I am looking to remortgage 12 months after all payments appear on time on credit report.

 

Thanks.

Usually you can only do this on first mortgage arrears, and usually only if the value of your home is a lot more than the mortgage. The amount you owe in arrears is added to your total mortgage.(Capital) Obviously your monthly payments will go up and repayment of the arrears are therefore spread over the rest of the term of your mortgage.
 

BM may be more likely to agree to capitalise the arrears if you have already kept to a repayment agreement for some months....which you have...and BM will usually view capitalising the arrears as a last resort option.

Thanks Andy. The loan on the property is about the 50% of the property value, so lot of equity. 

 

is there any harm in writing to BM to request capitalising the interest or you suggest to wait few more months? Can anyone help with the letter template?

 

Thanks.

Hi Ell-enn,

 

no they didn't apply for eviction.

They applied for extension to the reposession order that was granted in 2009.

They asked for the remaining term on the mortgage but court only granted 12 months starting from January 2019.

 

Since January this year I have been making regular payments.

They didn't agree on payments towards arrears but since i have made payments for last 6 months I want the arrears to be capitalised.

 

They in the past capitalised arrears.

Last time was about 3 or 4 years ago. 

 

I don't want to call them but email if you suggest no harm in trying.

 

Thanks.

Hi,

I made all payments on time since January this year.

August payment was due on 27th August but due to delay in payments from my client I couldn't pay on 27th August. 

I made the late payment on 6th September.

So few days late.

 

Today I received letter from Birmingham midshire dated 2nd September.

This was before I made payment.

Letter says I missed the August payment and there are arrears so I need to contact them and bring account up to date to avoid repossession as they have repossession order.

 

Arrears are about £13k. I am not in position to clear these arrears but I can keep paying normal monthly payment. 

 

I already paid August payment but few days late.

I don't want to call them to get trapped by them over the phone. 

 

Please advise if I really need to contact them or just keep paying normal monthly payments although there are arrears.

 

I have been paying regularly now for 8 months.

Can I request them to add arrears to capital??

 

Please advise if I should contact them regarding the letter or just keep paying the monthly payments?

you should never ring nor email

write using 2nd class mail.

 

typically once 6mts of required payments are made successfully most lender allow capitalisation.

 

did you ever SAR them

and see how much of this debt is unlawful penalty fees??

Hi, thank you for your reply. 

 

I haven't asked for SAR but will request. 

 

I am going to write them and request to capitalize arrears. I am worried that because of late payment in August by 10 days they will refuse my request and demand full payment of arrears. 

 

Kind regards,

Hi, I wrote to Birmingham midshire 2 weeks ago to request adding arrears to mortgage balance, I included income and expenditure with my request and sent through recorded delivery. 

 

I am very disappointed to see the attached letter from them this morning.  They have completely ignored my request and income and expenditure. Asking me to call them. 

 

Any suggestions please,  I am looking to remortgage next year and really want to be arrears free.

 

Please advise what should be my next step. 

 

Thanks

Hi, 

 

I have received another letter attached. As I mentioned in my previous post I sent recorded delivery letter to them requesting to add arrears to mortgage balance.  They ignored that letter,  sent me letter to request call them, I ignored that letter,  now they have involved this agency. 

 

I don't want to discuss over the phone as one of reasons I am in arrears is because how my calls were handled over the phone. 

 

Please advise shall I send them another letter or contact this agency to discuss?

 

 

If I don't contact them now they will have reason to take me to court that there are arrears and no repayment plan is in place.

Am I look legally bound to contact them on phone? How can they. Ppl persuade me to call them over the phone?

 

If I keep ignoring their request to contact them on phone can they take me to court for outstanding arrears with no payment plan in ppl place?

Hi,

 

I wrote to Birmingham Midshire few times and enclosing income and expenditure but no response from them. I complained and received the attached letter upholding my complaint and offered £50.

 

Also mentioned that they can't capitalize arrears because no payment in August and asking me to call them. August payment wasn't missed but Late by 10 or 12 days.

 

Now I have received letters from their solicitor and Birmingham midshire that I need to either pay arrears in full or contact them by phone to agree on repayment of arrears or they will apply to court for eviction date.

 

I am very distressed as I have been paying monthly payments since January and kept writing to them but because of last year's arrears they are applying for eviction date. 

 

I don't want them to apply for eviction date but if I call them their staff will again not positively deal with my account over the phone. 

 

Do I  have any options at this stage?

 

I have attached copy of letters. 

 

Please help as I need to call them tomorrow.

Very unfair

Write ba k to him

 

Tell him you do not consider the complaint closed

 

BMS have failed to research my payment history correctly

Aug 19 was met but late because xxxx

I do not believe the refusal of no cap is fair.

 

There is no legal requirement for me to discuss anything by phone and i have been very intimate d by your companies previous treatment toward myself over the phone.

 

I will only communicate by writing

Thank you, I  will reply to the complaints team but the eviction team and their solicitors will continue with their application for eviction date. 

 

I am worried that if I don't call the eviction team I will lose the opportunity to stop eviction before it goes to court. I don't want to challenge the eviction after court order.
