    • I see that at the start of your thread you said they hadn't sent a Letter of Claim.  And in fact in all the uploaded material there is no LoC.  This is great news.  Even were you to lose - you won't - the judge would chop off a chunk of the money for their non-respect of PAPLOC. However, I'm a bit confused as you've named the file name as a SAR.  Are you sure about this?  Did you send any other letters apart from the one dx advised which was a CPR request (not a SAR) to DCBL (not Group Nexus).  I'm not being pernickety, this will be important for your Witness Statement further down the line.
    • I didn’t say it wouldn’t. That is not the issue here. To continue driving after the licence has expired (under s88), the driver must have submitted a “qualifying application”.  An application disclosing a relevant medical condition (of which sleep apnoea is one) is not a “qualifying application”, This means the driver cannot take advantage of s88 and must wait for the DVLA to make its decision before resuming driving.   The driver’s belief is irrelevant. The fact that a licence was eventually granted may mitigate the offence, but does it does not provide a defence.   But this driver didn’t meet the conditions. I explained why in my earlier post. He only meets the conditions if his application does not declare a relevant medical condition. His did.   As I explained, after his birthday he did not hold a licence that could be revoked.   In my view it doesn’t matter what it says. The offence is committed because his application declared a medical condition. Meanwhile his licence expired and s88 is not available to him. The GP letter would form part of the material the DVLA would use to complete their investigations. But until those enquiries are completed he could not drive.   The offence does not carry points or a disqualification (because a licence could have been held by your father). It only carries a fine and the guideline is half a week’s net income. If he pleads guilty that fine will be reduced by a third. He will also pay a surcharge of 40% of that fine. But the big difference is prosecution costs: a guilty plea will see costs of about £90 ordered whilst being convicted following a trial will see costs in the region of £600.

    • 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.

What do u think Welcome would do if MH return to them.

 

Do you think they would issue or try another DCA?

 

Ive read on here that theyre desparate to collect so im worried they may just issue straight away

 

Thanks

They can issue a claim but they won't. They know they cannot enforce the debt without the terms and conditions. Nor can they enforce while the account is in dispute.

 

They may try and send it out to another DCA - but there are template letters on this site to deal with that if they do.

 

Welcome rarely issue claims especialy if they know they can't win.

Just send them a short note saying you have already stated you position and that they have still failed to comply with you CCA request. State that you now consider their activities to be one of harrasment, and tht you will no longer respond tho any of their letters untill thay fully comply with your CCA request. And enclose a copy of the original account in dispute letter.

Hi Guys

 

Further development today - I had a statement through today from MH, not for the welcome loan however, for a debt i had with them a while ago for quickquid saying i still owe £23. That debt was with a JB Debt Recovery though. However. I do believe that these the same people???

 

Surely no coincendence that this has randomly shown up

I don't know of any connection between MH and JB apart

from the fact they are both in Scotland.

Searching your own credit file has no impact

and is not seen by anyone else contrary to

popular belief, it is more likely in fact the

only reason is that JBDR have just sent the

anual statement as required.

Also we are into the usual Xmas fest of

last chase the lemon debt.

Hi Brig

 

I got that from JBDR themselves.

 

QQ told me they were sending it to Mckenzie Hall and I queried that when i got a letter from JBDR.

Cant remember exactly now as it was a long time ago but it was something like

"we work closely with them as were part of same group and they pass us a lot of the debts to work on"

  • 7 years later...

Hi guys, hoping somebody can help me out.

 

i had an unsecured loan of £2500 with welcome finance back in 2006.

I was obviously in difficulty at the time hence using welcome, and eventually defaulted.

I then entered into an Iva which did not go the distance, and I entered into a payment plan with all my creditors.

 

I’ll be totally honest I don’t know how much I paid back given the time that has passed, but I’m confident it surpassed the £2.5k.

I’ve ran a credit report today, only to find an entry from coast finance solutions for £3.6k showing as late payment.  

 

I couldn’t find much about them on companies house, so was dubious about writing in blind and giving them my details (I’ve moved house in the last 13 years).

I spoke to them on the phone, and they advised it is the welcome debt that was £2.5k in 2006.

 

I’ve requested a notice of assignment, DSAR and CCA by e mail, but the the question is, can they suddenly start reporting my account as “late payment” after 13 years of nothing??  

 

ive worked hard to repair my credit file, which I finally did last year, so this is a body blow.

The guy on the phone also confirmed I’d paid £10k back already, and they still want another £3.6k.

 

TIA

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

I’m very sorry if I offended you, I only came on to ask a question about credit reporting, rather than get a character assassination. 

 

i can assure you I’m not running debts from all debts,

I have made efforts to pay debts I feel are just and fare.

I am trying to fight to cowboys and have debts written off/dismissed. Absolutely! 

 

Unfortunately I am still paying from mistakes when I was nothing more than a kid when these cowboy firms took advantage.

I take full responsibility for my actions, but they also had a big part to play in the mess I got myself into. 

 

as a single dad of 2 disabled kids I don’t have much disposable income but do what I can to repay past mistakes, whilst also trying to repair years of damage on my credit file.

 

After 17 years of being in a mess, these last 18 months or so have finally seen myself repair a lot of damage, and Stuff like this out of the blue is a crushing blow to that, as I’m back to square one. 

 

I am responsible for the situation I am in, but have certainly not ran away from all of my debts

don't be too sure on that morality card toshy , throw it out the window, they do.

 

no harm in hitting them where is hurts

like a CCA request to coast.

 

and don't forget, it was defaulted more than 6yrs ago, so it cant comeback on your credit file.

so it cant ruin everything.

 

coast are a forign debt buyer that bought 10'000 of old welcome debts

simply trying to frighten people that don't know any better into wetting themselves and coughing up.

  • dx100uk changed the title to two welcome finance loans

you have an SAR from welcome

find the default notice for whichever of the two welcome debts you have this is about.

then attach a copy of it to a letter to coast.

 

state they are to remove their entry on your credit file within 14days as the debt has already been defaulted by the original creditor and under ICO rules it cannot ever be re registered.

 

should you fail to comply with the above demand I will immediately open a serious complaint with the ICO and seek financial compensationfor the damage done to my credit worthiness.

 

in a sep letter

send them a CCA request.

 

you state you were paying until a couple of years back...who too?
