    • I'm at work now but promise to look in later. Can you confirm how you paid the first invoice?  It wasn't your fault if the signal was so poor and there was no alternative way to pay.  There must be a chance of reversing the charge with your bank.  There are no guarantees but Kev  https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/09766749/officers  has never had the backbone to do court so far.  Not even in one case,  
    • OK  so you may not have outed yourself if you said "we". No matter either way you paid. Snotty letter I am surprised that they were so quick off the mark threatening Court. They usually take months to go that far. No doubt that as you paid the first one they decided to strike quickly and scare you into paying. Dear Chuckleheads  aka Alliance,  I am replying to your LOCs You may have caught me the first time but that is  the end. What a nasty organisation you are. You do realise that you now have now no reason to continue to pursue me after reading my appeal since you know that my car was not cloned. Any further pursuit will end up with a complaint to the ICO that you are breaching my GDPR.  Please confirm that you have removed my details from your records. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I haven't gone for a snotty letter this time as they know that you paid for your car in another car park. So using a shot across their bows .  If it doesn't deter them and they send in the debt collectors or the Court you will then be able to get more money back from them for  breachi.ng your data protection than they will get should they win in Court-and they have no chance of that as you have paid. So go in with guns blazing and they might see sense.  Although never underestimate how stupid they are. Or greedy.
    • Thank you. Such a good point. They did issue all 3 before I paid though. I only paid one because I didn’t have proof of parking that time, only for two others.    Unfortunately no proof of my appeal as it was just submitted through a form on their website and no copy was sent to me. I only have the reply. I believe I just put something like “we made the honest mistake of using the incorrect parking area on the app” and that’s it. Thanks again for your help. 
    • They are absolute chuckleheads. You paid but because you entered a different car park site also belonging to them they are pursuing you despite them knowing what you had done. It would be very obvious to everyone, including Alliance that your car could not have been in two places at the same time. Thank you for posting the PCN so quickly making it a pity that you appealed since there are so many things wrong with it that you as keeper are not liable to pay the charge. They rarely accept appeals since that would mean they lose money but they have virtually no chance of beating you in Court. Very unlikely that they will take you to Court given the circumstances. Just in case you didn't out yourself as the driver could you please post up your appeal.
    • Jasowter I hope that common sense prevails with Iceland and the whole matter can be successfully ended. I would perhaps not have used a spell checker just to prove the dyslexia 🙂 though it may have made it more difficult to read. I noticed that you haven't uploaded the original PCN .Might not be necessary if the nes from Iceland is good. Otherwise perhaps you could get your son to do it by following the upload instructions so that we can appeal again with the extra ammunition provided by the PCN. Most of them rarely manage to get the wording right which means that you as the keeper are not liable to pay the charge-only the driver is and they do not know the name and address of the driver. So that would put you both in the clear if the PCN is non compliant.

    • 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 Guys,

 

I have just spoken to the FOS and have logged my complaint regarding the Acceptance Fee. They gave me a Reference Number.

 

I also said that I have done everything asked by WF ( sending them a CCCS form detailing my Income and Expenditure details ) but they refuse to reply in writing regarding my request of "Freezing Interest and other Charges" while I am paying them the lesser amount each month.

 

FOS said that WF must reply to me in writing, if requested, so that is another complaint that I have logged against them.

 

I am doing everything by the book as you can see.

I can't believe it.......:mad:

 

I have just received a letter from WF and from a totally different individual to the person that I have been dealing with previously.

 

"We have been trying to contact you with regard to the above account.

Please telephone this office at your earliest convenience".

 

I totally refuse to call them and be subjected to verbal abuse or otherwise.

 

Until these &*^%$£"%'s reply to me in writing as requested by me many times before, I will continue to ignore them.

 

I expect that I will be charged for this letter.

Interesting, I have just worked out how long it will take me to repay my loan to Welcome Finance providing that they agree to freeze all interest and other charges.

 

32 Years unless I win the lottery in the meantime.

 

I intend to be around then but somehow I doubt that WF will be ....:D

Hi Voda

 

This what they did to me, basically they apparently deceided to ignore my complaint and just put me back on the standard collections path....these wee letters then voicemails then chap chap at the door - he went away with a flea in his ear I can tell you!

Hi Dipply 75,

 

I am going to call their Complaints Dept in a moment and give them hell.

 

Take care

Just called their Head Office and they are going to get the original branch to call me.

 

This will be FUN.

 

Back in February I complained to CRC Complaints Dept about the person who ignored my letters and they did nothing.

 

I expect that this person has probably left the company anyway.

 

But it just goes to prove how hopeless WF is at administration.

 

Aha....

 

Just received a phone call from the local branch's Collections Dept at Welcome Finance and firstly they wanted me to sign a new agreement at a lower rate of interest with slightly lower monthly repayments.

 

The person was very polite.

 

I said that I cannot afford this and you should know that from the Income & Expenditure plan prepared by CCCS on my behalf.

 

He said that I don't have that and I said you should.

 

I told him that your company is totally useless at administration.

 

I said where do we go from here then in terms of freezing all my interest and other charges.

 

He said that Welcome Finance will freeze all interest and other charges if I contact CCCS and enter into a Debt Management Plan.

 

I said that I am quite happy to do that.

 

We shall see what happens next.

Hi Dipply did you see I got a response to me 'go sod yourself' letter about their unenforcable agreement?

 

That quick? Was it just the standard 'we're looking into it' response? (you know the one where we cannot think what the hell to reply with, so ignore you and hope go away :p)

 

I think you are starting to enjoy this voda ;)

Hi Dipply75.

 

Well in a way I am enjoying this but also feel saddened that WF finds itself " So Special " that it has to force me into a DMP. My other Creditors have accepted my Income & Expenditure details and are not forcing me down this road.

 

Having said that I am not in any particular hurry to enter into one with CCCS at WF's command as I may well be dealing with someone else sooner rather than later judging by all the news wonderfully detailed on here.

 

I am so glad that I joined this forum and my thanks to all of you who have helped me and others on here....:cool:

 

Have a nice day .....:)

 

Can't wait to see what happens tomorrow - Friday 13th !!!!

Back soon.

 

Thanks

Hi Andie,

 

Here is the original agreement with the Total Amount of Credit = £7039.63 and my recent Personal Loan Statement which gives the Amount of Credit Provided which includes the £75 Acceptance Fee = £7114.63

 

What do you think?

Dear Sir/Madam

 

I am writing to you with regard to the above account. In reading the documents your company has provided I have come across what I believe and can prove to be a breach of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 hence rendering the above account unenforceable.

 

I have discovered from your companies recent statement that whilst my agreement shows an acceptance fee of £75 that is calculated into the overall loan total your company has failed to disclose on this document that the £75 has had an interest rate applied. This contravenes s.61 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 and has been proved in court through Wilson V First County Trust.

 

As this was not accepted on the original agreement and consequently I will be referring this matter to the Financial Ombudsmen Service as I deem this to be a direct attempt to mislead the customer.

 

Therefore as this account is now unenforceable I will be cancelling my future direct debits to your company with immediate effect and request a refund of all payments made to your company before this date.

 

As this account is now in dispute you may not demand any payment on the account, nor am I obliged to offer any payment. You may not add further interest or charges to the above account nor are you to pass this account to a third party.

Lastly you may not register any information in respect of this account with a credit reference agency nor are you allowed to issue a default with regards to this account.

 

If my request is not complied with within 28 days I will have no further option to file this matter in the courts.

 

I expect a swift response to this matter

 

Yours Faithfully

Hi Andie,

 

Many thanks

 

Should I sent this letter to Welcome Finance or wait till whoever takes them over, if any, and send it to them telling them that my agreement is effectively worthless !!

 

PS. The bloke that I spoke today I mentioned this to, and he said some baloney about my signing the agreement and being responsible to keep to the terms of that agreement.

 

This I accept and understand but they have not kept to their end.

 

I appreciate that the interest that I am paying on £75 is minimal to the total amount that I borrowed but it's the principle of the matter, I feel.

Well you tell that bloke if your conscience ever overcomes you and decides it wants some moral guidance you'll get it to call him :p

 

The thing is the interest on the agreement fee MAY be minimal but the interest on the whole loan and charges etc is NOT!

and if they were up front and honest in stead of blatantly decieving customers about what they are doing in order to defraud the taxman (and therefore every UK tax payer!!), we would have no grounds to do this.

 

My conscience is clear - how about yours Welcome Compliance???

Hi Felixfly & everyone else.

 

I didn't have PPI on my Personal Loan but I am sure that I had it on the car.

 

I also need to check this.

 

Mind you if Welcome Finance do get investigated by various Government Departments and the Police, I will just be one of their many customers that will have the old agreements investigated, for sure.

 

No, i remember being really firm about having no PPI included. However the car loan it paid off may have so i have asked for all the info regarding this.

London Scottish Bank is a very different case as it has customers with deposits.

 

So it was in the Government's interest to save it.

 

See: http://www.london-scottish.com/

 

Cattles (as far as I know) is purely a lender.

 

 

Quote; "James Hamilton, an analyst at Numis, said: "Something has happened to wipe hundreds of millions off the profit and loss account through no trading period at all.

"Why is the market value still £11m? It is worth zero. There is not an institutional buyer of this share at any price."

Mr Hamilton said the shares were probably being bought by individual investors hoping for a revival of the stock.

(This is the bit I really like...)

 

"Cattles now runs the risk of being crippled by bad debts if its best collection agents leave and customers, who already have bad credit records, are left with no incentive to repay".

 

In January Cattles' shares fell sharply after the company failed in its attempt to win a banking licence to replace expensive bank funding with retail deposits.

Cattles' problems follow the near-collapse of London Scottish Bank, a rival sub-prime lender, in December.

The attachments of my agreement and latest statement have not been approved yet.

 

Can I PM you with the attachments ( if that works?)

Hi Andie,
