    • In my experience (not with car payments) but with many other things, my partner has been ill and signed off in the past and we have been unable to meet various commitments.  Naturally if you ring the call centre they are going to fob you off and tell you you must pay, that's why that never ever works. I would obtain a note from her GP listing all her health issues plus medications plus side effects, then write to the finance company with a copy of it, explaining the situation, as you have here, asking for a payment holiday. Perhaps mention that the car is very much needed for hospital appointments etc. It's likely the finance company would rather you pay till term end than, chase you for money they will never see, and sell the car at auction for a loss,  You can search some of my threads going back years, advising people to do this for Council Tax, Tax Credits, HMRC, Even a solicitors company and it always works, because contrary to popular belief people are reasonable.
    • Sorry, I haven't ever seen one of these agreements. Read it all and look out for anything that says when she can withdraw and when she is committed to go ahead. If it isn't clear she may need to call the housing provider and simply say what you posted here, she doesn't want to go ahead and how does she withdraw her swap application?
    • Thank you! Your head is like a power bank of knowledge.  Her health issues are short term, due to a relationship breakdown she took it pretty hard and has been signed off work on medication for 3 months. She only started her job in February 24 so does not qualify for any occupational sick benefits, which is where the ssp only comes in. (You will see me posting a few things over the coming days, whilst I try and sort some things for her)  I sat with her last night relaying all this back and she does want to work out a plan, she was ready to propose £100 for the next 3 months and then an additional £70 per month onto of her contractual to "catch up" but Money247 rejecting the payment holiday and demanding £200 thew her, which is why I came on here.   
    • I've looked at your case specifically more.   Term 8bii reads " when, in accordance with instructions from the Customer or the Consignee, the Consignment is left in a safe place" Their terms choose to not define safe, so they are put to proof that the location is safe. If your property opens onto a street its a simple thing of putting a google earth image and pointing out that its not a safe place

    • 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.

Update:

 

Received from the court today

 

There's an option to agree to mediation. I'm assuming I tick yes on that?

C1 - Yes?

D1 - My local CC?

D2 - No?

D3 - Witness 1

D4 - Dates I cannot attend?

Interpreter - No

 

There's a mediation form asking:

For mediation to be successful there needs to be some flexibility from all parties and a willingness to listen and consider each other's positions. Can you agree to this Yes/No

I can confirm that I have enough information about the claim, to allow me to enter into negotiations. Yes/No

 

If I answer NO to any of the above then mediation is not suitable.

 

How to proceed folks?

Well whaddya know. This letter isn't exactly informing me of a change of solicitors either. 

So Lowells should have filled a notice to cease and then the new boys under N434. 

Interesting. Does this then invalidate their claim?

Received via email today:

 

Your appointment details

Claim number: #######;

Parties: LOWELL PORTFOLIO I LTD v a name

Appointment date: 23/04/2021;

Appointment time slot: 13:30 and 16:30;

Your confidential telephone mediation appointment has been booked for the above date and time slot. If you need to cancel your appointment please let us know, this lets us offer your time slot to someone else.

You will be called within this time slot and your appointment will last for a maximum of one hour.

Reply by email to [email protected] confirming:

  • your full name
  • email address
  • telephone number for the mediator to call you on

Important mediation requirements

Please read the following statements - mediation is only available if you can answer yes to all 3:

  1. I am willing to negotiate on the amount of the claim and I will consider a compromise.
  2. I have enough information about the claim to enter into negotiations and do not require any further evidence from the other party before starting mediation.
  3. I’m available for the entire time slot on the date of my appointment.

If you cannot answer yes to all 3 statements, mediation is NOT suitable for your case and you should contact us: [email protected]

 

How to respond?

I think point 2 is where I send back something like:

The claimant has to date failed to provide me with enough information to enter into any meaningful mediation negotiations, I also in my initial response told the court that I would be unavailable to attend and mediation until after 6th July 2021 so am unsure why an appointment has been set for the 23rd April.

Cheers, just wanted to make sure before I hit the send button.

 

I'm assuming i this 'meeting' I'll just be reiterating my stance "the claimant has to date failed to provide any meaningful evidence to support their claim" regardless of what the judge/magistrate or other side say.

 

Thanks.

not sure if you were or it might have been better too, send a witness statement too, outlining your position as lowells did?

 

as to your post above, what meaningful evidence have they yet to supply... as far as i can see they have the agreement, the default notice and the notice of assignment, and they all look ok to me.

 

what is you stance regarding you don't owe this with regard to the above quoted post.....i see theres an IRL complaint that the OP refused, did this move to the FOS as advised? but that's not anything to do with the claimant and this claim as such...

Well based on that then I have no defence - I'm currently working but not earning enough to service this debt, there's a form I can use to ask the judge to keep the payments under a certain amount and means to judgement or CCJ on my record - is that right?

well it's not a full hearing so you can't 'lose' , just gets a full hearing date set, whereby lowells might try and strike your defence out etc as they have threatened.

 

so where do you stand on the defence you filed that you don't owe this money, be it for whatever reason? how's the FOS complaint going? might be an idea to try and wrap that up, as if they decide it was subject to irresponsible lending, then the sum lowell is after is in dispute..

 

did you forward the complaint to the FOS as advised and what was their reply?

my defence is in post 14

 

FOS felt that there was complaint to enforce and so knocked that back and saw no irresponsible lending, they felt the bank had carried the required checks.

well see where it goes, nothing will be adjudged at this hearing.

 

IMHO it might pay you to get a consent order agreed latter on?

Yeah that's what I'm thinking, I am almost certain I've had to do one of these previously but for the life of me cannot find it. Is there a basic template on here you can direct me to? Or is it worth even at this late stage that they write off the debt?

Draft: Putting it her for reference if I need to use it. And this would go directly to Overdales or direct to Lowell? I'm thinking that as they have been able to gather all of their evidence it might be worth sending this anyway. My concern is the amount we can afford to pay.

 

To Whom It May Concern,

 

I am writing on behalf of the defendant XXX in relation to the claim reference above. She has asked me to write on her behalf asking if there is a way to settle this matter outside of court in order to avoid a CCJ, perhaps a Tomlin Order might be the way forward.

 

Without admission of any liability she would like to make an offer to start a repayment plan that is affordable and manageable.

 

Perhaps, if there was a significant reduction in the amount the settlement could occur in a lump sum.

 

Given the timing we would welcome a quick reply.

 

Kind Regards.
