    • There's a thread somewhere about someone sending the baillifs against Wizzair that is quite hilarious. I would love to see someone do the same to Ryanair. Question is, should you be the one to take that role. You are entitled to the £220, if your flight was from the UK. If it was TO the UK I suppose it is more of a grey area... though the airlines I know have been using £220 as standard. Not that surprising for Ryanair, the worst cheapskates in the universe, to go for the lower amount, and if you forward this to the CEO he will probably have a jolly good laugh and give his accountants a verbal bonus. After all he's the one who said and I paraphrase "F*** our customers, they'll fly with us again anyway". While we would all love to see Ryanair get wooped in court again, I have to join my fellow posters in thinking it's not worth the hassle for (hypothetically) £7 and not sure it will expedite the payment either. It's already an achievement that you got them to accept to pay.

    • 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,

My secured loan with Ocean money was transferred to Prestige finance approx 2015.

I have now paid off the loan but they say i owe £1750 in historical charges & are still holding onto the charge for our property until we pay.

 

We have issued a complaint with the financial ombudsman back in April 2020 but still waiting to hear back.

I have asked for proof of these charges & also a copy of the credit agreement but this has not been forthcoming.

I was also told by one of Prestige agents that they have not got any proof of these historical charges.

 

Could anyone advise me what to do as totally fed up with this & to be honest quite frightened.

Had a bellyful as our main lender Engage credit tried to repossess our house in 2013 when the main mortgage was transferred to them from GMAC.

 

Went to court & managed to stop it, all arrears are paid but I am sure all this stress lead to my wife getting cancer.

She is now free & recovering but obviously could do without another crook trying to bugger us up just because we don't know our rights etc.

Any Help would be greatly appreciated

Under GDPR regulations you have the right to request every piece of information a company has on you. Including emails, screen shots, phone conversations etc.  That means you can then come back to us with the results, and the betting is that most of these charges are unlawful and you can tell Prestige to Foxtrot Oscar.

 

The charges should all be listed and itemised by the way. Oh and the non compliance fines are truly terrifying, so company's tend to comply! For heavens sake don't bother with a solicitor.

I'm afraid to say you are probably being royally had,

 

I would also recommend that your wife calls her GP tomorrow morning first thing and ask for a signed note from her doctor explaining that she is in remission from cancer, along with the medications that she's on (with side effects) and that this stress could be extremely dangerous for her.  You can then send off the note with an explainer that she is incredibly stressed by this and that you will hold them responsible for any worsening of her condition if you do not cancel all charges immediately and remove the charge from your property.

Hi ,

I have recieved the full SAR from prestige & as at 2nd April this year we have a statement saying 0 arrears!

 

I have asked for an itemised run down down of any charges incurred. They are still saying the £1600 is for historical interest.

A bit above my head I'm afraid.

 

 

Telephoned them today & asked for a full itemised run down of any charges incurred & the lady I spoke to said there wasn't any listed on my account & she would have to email management & I have to contact them in 7 days.

what you want from the SAR is a full set of accounts from say 1 including all of the terms of the loan and interest calculations and rates.

 

If they haven't done that then they have failed to comply and you have grounds for complaint and legal action for the non compliance

 

these companies have a habit of adding fees that are unlawful so be prepared to take them to court to claim back that money and interest and that will put them on notice that they are in line for contempt proceedings if they continue to hang this one out

Hi, to date I have still not received a full itemised list of the supposed historical charges from Prestige finance even though I have requested them on numerous occasions please see below:

 

Hi Joanna,

With reference to our telephone conversation yesterday 2nd Sept 2020.

As mentioned to you I have not received the full itemised list of charges that I requested on the 17th August 2020 (copy letter attached).

 

Also Charles from the financial ombudsman has been in contact with me & said that Prestige have stated that the £1700 owing refers to historical charges prior to them buying the loan, although there is no mention of this in the full SAR that I requested from yourselves.

 

A point of law states that you cannot after many years attempt to claim interest on historical charges that you say exist but have no proof of.

 

Also may I add that if there had been any charges & I had been asked to pay them (which hasn’t occurred)

I would have settled straight away.

 

Any advise appreciated

I know its crazy,

They say they won't release the charge on our property untill I pay the £1700.

 

Because of the attempted possession years ago by my main mortgage holder engage credit (on the loophole in the law where if an agreement hasn't been arranged within 6 months they can go for possession & they refused to acknowledge any contact with me )

 

I made an offer to Prestige to pay off the £1700 at £100 per month which they accepted, 2 months ago.

 

I did state that although I will do this I do not accept the charges & await the outcome of the ombudsman etc.

Needless to say the ombudsman told me that he hasn't heard of anyone winning a case against Prestige & I probably will have to pay.( Got the impression he was very biased towards Prestige )

 

I informed him that I've requested itemised proof of the charges which haven't been forthcoming.

Must admit that I feel like paying them a visit with 2 sawn off tubes but lucky enough I'm not like that.

Getting nowhere fast with this.

  • dx100uk changed the title to Ocean now Prestige finance & historical charges on a secured Loan

what you doing still ringing these fleecers STOP IT!

you need a papertrail to allow the FOS to properly decide, though you are correct they rarely fall on the consumers side where penalty charges ae involved with any lender.

 

why have you not escalated the SAR failure to the ICO?
