    • 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.

Hello! 
 

I am desperately looking for some support.

 

Hello,

 

My mother took an unregulated secured loan in 2001 for a total amount of £31,075 including PPI which we have tried claiming back but was sold through broker who now don’t exist. 
 

When we requested SAR in Oct 2019 having added up payments made up to that point and including all payments sent up to sept 2020 she has paid £81,895.40 and still owes approx £40,000 (not an updated settlement figure) 

 

unfortunately she did default a few times in the first 3 years of the loan agreement however has not defaulted since November 2004.  
 

We frankly can not make head nor tail of the charges and subsequent interest added on the charges. 
 

I am so desperate to make some headway and get some clarity on what to do for her. 

 

PLEASE PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP!!!!

 

I’m happy to privately email, call anything! 
 

she is struggling under the weight of this awfully unlawful debt!!!

you need to look for any fixed fee penalty charges like arrear/default/letter/phone call / debt management etc

these will be a fixed sum like £40 say 

 

then you pop all those in our spreadsheet and pop in their int rate and it should give you a reclaimable figure

the same can be said for PPI.

even though it was sold through a broker swift should have done a plevin reclaim as they would have received hidden commission for selling it i bet!!

Okay that’s great. Which spreadsheet are you talking about? where would I find that? 
 

on the paper work under arrears column these a figure and some times the figure is in brackets. Do you know what the difference is between a arrears figure with and without brackets?

you MUST enter each charge on the date it was levied.

 

try the FOSCI sheet first ...

.put their APR in cell D15 see what the gives.

 

 

also try the same set of 3 cols of your data in the statint sheet (use copy and paste)

 

see which gives a better result ..

Yeah I'm not sure about what happened to that sheet. 

My mum has no idea what that is all about, they have never sought legal action at all. 

I have managed to get all the stuff on to a PDF however it is over 4.88mb so wont let me upload it.

  • 1 month later...

After sending a claim for unfair charges to swift we were informed that if over 6 years old then you can not reclaim any money back. 
 

what more can we do, they have told us to go to the Financial Ombudsman so they must think they have done everything right?

well they are going to say that aren't they..they charged the unlawful fees in the 1st place!!:pound:

..its when you discover you can reclaim not from when they were charged.
