    • Thank-you dx for your feedback. That is the reason I posted my opinion, because I am trying to learn more and this is one of the ways to learn, by posting my opinions and if I am incorrect then being advised of the reasons I am incorrect. I am not sure if you have educated me on the points in my post that would be incorrect. However, you are correct on one point, I shall refrain from posting on any other thread other than my own going forward and if you think my post here is unhelpful, misleading or in any other way inappropriate, then please do feel obliged to delete it but educate me on the reason why. To help my learning process, it would be helpful to know what I got wrong other than it goes against established advice considering the outcome of a recent court case on this topic that seemed to suggest it was dismissed due to an appeal not being made at the first stage. Thank-you.   EDIT:  Just to be clear, I am not intending to go against established advice by suggesting that appeals should ALWAYS be made, just my thoughts on the particular case of paying for parking and entering an incorrect VRN. Should this ever happen to me, I will make an appeal at the first stage to avoid any problems that may occur at a later stage. Also, I continue to be grateful for any advice you give on my own particular case.  
    • you can have your humble opinion.... You are very new to all this private parking speculative invoice game you have very quickly taken it upon yourself to be all over this forum, now to the extent of moving away from your initial thread with your own issue that you knew little about handling to littering the forum and posting on numerous established and existing threads, where advice has already been given or a conclusion has already resulted, with your theories conclusions and observations which of course are very welcomed. BUT... in some instances, like this one...you dont quite match the advice that the forum and it's members have gathered over a very long consensual period given in a tried and trusted consistent mannered thoughtful approach. one could even call it forum hi-jacking and that is becoming somewhat worrying . dx
    • Yeah, sorry, that's what I meant .... I said DCBL because I was reading a few threads about them discontinuing claims and getting spanked in court! Meant  YOU  Highview !!!  🖕 The more I read this forum and the more I engage with it's incredible users, the more I learn and the more my knowledge expands. If my case gets to court, the Judge will dismiss it after I utter my first sentence, and you DCBL and Highview don't even know why .... OMG! .... So excited to get to court!
    • Yep, I read that and thought about trying to find out what the consideration and grace period is at Riverside but not sure I can. I know they say "You must tell us the specific consideration/grace period at a site if our compliance team or our agents ask what it is"  but I doubt they would disclose it to the public, maybe I should have asked in my CPR 31.14 letter? Yes, I think I can get rid of 5 minutes. I am also going to include a point about BPA CoP: 13.2 The reference to a consideration period in 13.1 shall not apply where a parking event takes place. I think that is Deception .... They giveth with one hand and taketh away with the other! One other point to note, the more I read, the more I study, the more proficient I feel I am becoming in this area. Make no mistake DBCL if you are reading this, when I win in court, if I have the grounds to make any claims against you, such as breach of GDPR, I shall be doing so.

    • 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 applied for a loan with WFS (unsecured loan) in November 2008, sent away the paperwork on 10th December 2008 and STILL am yet to receive payout.

 

Does anyone at Welcome post here? Is anyone else in the same boat? I need advice - are they ever gonna give me money or is it actually really busy or am I just being fobbed off?

 

I sent away all the correct documents - they have confirmed this much.

Im sorry but it seems everyone who complains here are people who have missed payments on the loans they agreed.

 

Im sat here with my Finance Agreement and it tells me how much im borrowing, my monthly payment, how many monthly payments and my APR.

 

I know I can afford my monthly payment and will have little problems securing this money each month to do so, so whats the problem?

 

I am paying 60 odd % APR but thats my own fault for getting myself into bother a few years ago - im working out of that.

 

When I called they did push the PPI quite forcefully but I told them I couldnt afford it and not taking it reduced my monthly installments by almost half.........

 

But I managed to get an offer / quote without it.

 

Hmm...

 

I think I can make up my own mind without having the opinion of the careless and the misfortunate forced down my throat.

 

PS if any welcome employees can help me out with my previous question I'd really appreciate it!

sounds like you have made up your mind. I wish you luck.

 

actually having read your last comment I find you smug arrogance of your comfortable life insulting.

 

can you explain to me why i repaid £2200 yet only £600 came of the balance where the rest went.

 

I LIKE EVERYONE ELSE WORK HARD FOR THE MONEY I EARN AND HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW WHERE MY REPAYMENTS WENT.

 

WHY DON'T YOU ASK YOURSELF THE QUESTIONS AS YOU JUST THE SAME AS WELCOME EMPLOYEES

The balance of the amount you borrowed or the balance + interest?

 

I dont have a comfortable life ,otherwise I wouldnt be borrowing** money from Welcome Finance would I?

 

I'm just saying it seems beyond logic that signing up for payments at £X.XX per month for X months can go wrong. Surely you just multiply the monthly payment by the amount of monthly payments and thats what you give them??! Theres nothing else in this agreement that I can see that states you have to pay more?

 

Its not my fault if youve borrowed at high interest then borrowed more and then more again and dont know what you owe any more. Thats your problem not mine.

 

** I did not mean to refer to anyone as a scrounger

 

P.S Making sure you can afford the repayments of a loan is just a sensible thing to do before you borrow, dont you think?

 

Rather than being a smug comfort

t03spd,first of all you have gatecrashed someone elses thread and have repeatedly asked if any Welcome employees post here.

What gives you the idea that there would be ?

The tone of your posts has upset other users here,and whether that was intended or not is besides the point.

I suggest that you start your own thread.

At the same time you should be aware that there are many here who are trying to resolve their issues as best they can.

To suggest they have been careless is perhaps ok-to suggest they are scroungers is NOT ok.

Please refrain from posting these sorts of comments.

And I think I am right to say that Welcome would definitely be VERY UNWELCOME on these forums.

Have a happy and prosperous 2013 by avoiiding Payday loans. If you are sent a private message directing you for advice or support with your issues to another website,this is your choice.Before you decide,consider the users here who have already offered help and support.

I was calling myself a scrounger because I am desperate for a loan just now - I wasnt referring to anyone but myself

 

But thanks for the advice - I will certainly start my own thread.

The only reason I posted here was because its entitled "Welcome Finance" and I thought it was acceptable to ask a question as others have in the past

 

 

Good luck all.

Yeah I think youre right EBOY and by 75% too. Maybe I'll hold out some hope considering I got an offer/quote in November 08, but we'll see.

 

Are there any other companies like Welcome that lend to people with poor credit ratings?

 

Cattles are screwed

Well I'm not getting my loan say WFS. Can't say I'm surprised. They didnt make any payouts in December I guess when your parent company share prices drop from £3 to 10p you know you're in trouble.

 

£16k with a total repayable of £39k is criminal :-( I'm really sorry to hear that.

 

I applied for £1000 over 2 years and I think I would have paid back £1800 had they given me the loan. and that was without PPI etc.

 

I too have a lot to learn about the financial side of life - my rights, my responsibilities, what I can do, what processes are in place that can help me pay back what I owe ( I dont want to run away from my debts I want to clear them! ).

 

 

What annoys me is that I believe they have LIED to me the whole way through December wasting valuable time, and also their conveniently scheduled maintenance on their website with regards to applying for a new personal loan - why not just tell people to bog off that they cant take applications - more lies.

 

 

*Sigh*

I guess in the long run I'll consider myself lucky I didn't get my loan from Welcome Finance and just battle this one out.

 

Good luck everyone.
