    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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 took out a loan for £16k from Northern Rock in 2003.

I was in trouble in less than a year and defaulted on the loan.

I agreed a reduced payment, but after about a year had to reduce my payments again, since then I have kept paying a token payment of £3 a month. 


Cabot are now dealing with the loan and have recently supplied an original signed copy of the agreement, the page below and a statement of all payments made since taking the loan.


I am still not in a position to be able to offer more than token payments.

Is there anything I can do to finally clear this debt?

 

I know there has been a lot of focus on short term loans being given when they are unaffordable, is it the same for long term loans?

and I don't believe its enforceable as its not clear enough to be able to read what other set of T&C's numbers it refers too

 

now if irresponsible lending plays apart too, is another matter...

as I cant read if the loan states a reason for it, like debt consolidation etc.

I received a CCA Return with that level of legibility from Lowell. I wrote back  explaining that I couldn't read it and it therefore wasn't enforceable.  They closed my account and removed it from my Credit File. If you feel like it you can even Google the legislation, there is a line clearly stating that it must  be clear and easy to read.

 

It makes me so angry that it is not the law for a DCA to be  clear that making token payments keeps resetting the Statute Barred clock. 

 

Personally, I would stop paying them right now and banish any thoughts from my mind of settling with them. 

 

 

We could do with some help from you.

Aha , I was frantically searching for that, but couldn't find it this morning.  I definitely quoted that in the letter I sent to them.  Although @dx100uk , do you think it is pointless letter tennis?

Thank you all for the advice so far. I think I will write back to Cabot stating the CCA is not legible and ask for a better copy and go from there. If I was to go down to route of irresponsible lending how would I go about that?

pers i wouldn't start pointless letter tennis.

 

there is a very good reason NR sold this on.

and pers i don't think its because you had difficulty paying it......

 

p'haps send them NR a sar and get every shred of infor they have.

i believe in was pinnacle, but there were sevaral loans from one lotthat said words to the effect of 'we shouldn't have loaned this money' in comms logs one time.

nope.

a dca debt buyer gets no info, you are simply a line in a debt buying portfolio spreadsheet that the auto threat PC spew out letters too incase you think they have magical powers and can be mugged blind.

 

look at it this way.

if NR had such a case iron case on you...why didn't they take your to court and crush you dead?

why sell the debt on for <15p=£1 to a debt buyer???

 

find the reason sar NR.

pdf already sorted

its very obv from the statement that there was never anyway you could afford to pay the loan off from the get go.

another good pointer to them knowing this is they never added any penalty fees.

that's extremely rare for nram.

 

i'd be firing off an IRL complaint to NR now.

no because 10'000's have had PDL loans wiped or severally reduced, which caused the issues post rulings, it why they were designed.
