    • In my experience (not with car payments) but with many other things, my partner has been ill and signed off in the past and we have been unable to meet various commitments.  Naturally if you ring the call centre they are going to fob you off and tell you you must pay, that's why that never ever works. I would obtain a note from her GP listing all her health issues plus medications plus side effects, then write to the finance company with a copy of it, explaining the situation, as you have here, asking for a payment holiday. Perhaps mention that the car is very much needed for hospital appointments etc. It's likely the finance company would rather you pay till term end than, chase you for money they will never see, and sell the car at auction for a loss,  You can search some of my threads going back years, advising people to do this for Council Tax, Tax Credits, HMRC, Even a solicitors company and it always works, because contrary to popular belief people are reasonable.
    • Sorry, I haven't ever seen one of these agreements. Read it all and look out for anything that says when she can withdraw and when she is committed to go ahead. If it isn't clear she may need to call the housing provider and simply say what you posted here, she doesn't want to go ahead and how does she withdraw her swap application?
    • Thank you! Your head is like a power bank of knowledge.  Her health issues are short term, due to a relationship breakdown she took it pretty hard and has been signed off work on medication for 3 months. She only started her job in February 24 so does not qualify for any occupational sick benefits, which is where the ssp only comes in. (You will see me posting a few things over the coming days, whilst I try and sort some things for her)  I sat with her last night relaying all this back and she does want to work out a plan, she was ready to propose £100 for the next 3 months and then an additional £70 per month onto of her contractual to "catch up" but Money247 rejecting the payment holiday and demanding £200 thew her, which is why I came on here.   
    • I've looked at your case specifically more.   Term 8bii reads " when, in accordance with instructions from the Customer or the Consignee, the Consignment is left in a safe place" Their terms choose to not define safe, so they are put to proof that the location is safe. If your property opens onto a street its a simple thing of putting a google earth image and pointing out that its not a safe place

    • 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 Everybody,

Just thought I would say Hi.

I am about to start proceedings against the Halifax for £2679 in charges incurred over the past six years.

I have my Preliminary letter and spreadsheet ready, and will be posting them recorded delivery tomorrow morning.

As xmas is just around the corner this will probably take a bit longer as the Bank will use the excuse of the postal service at xmas.

Anyway, I dont know if I need to start a new thread for this or if it will be moved to the Halifax section?

Thanks to everyone at this site for your information, I will definetly be donating once my claim is settled.

Speak soon

Ok, time for an update.

I have just received today (16/12/06) a letter from Paul Williams, Customer Relations Officer for Halifax in Leeds.

I have added a copy of the letter below, they also sent me a leaflet entitled "Personal Customer Complaints, Here's what we'll do"

Im not sure what to do next as in the letter as it says "A customer relations manager will investigate the points you have raised and you will receive a reply shortly, but certainly no later than 4 weeks"

I would be grateful if anybody could tell me whether or not I should send the Letter Before Action?

Anyway the letter is copied below.

 

13 December 2006

 

Dear Mr **********

Thank you for your letter, which was received at this office on 13th December 2006.

 

I am sorry to learn that you are unhappy with your charges applied to your bank account.

 

We're keen to deal with your concerns as quickly as possible. A customer relations manager will investigate the points you have raised and you will receive a reply shortly, but certainly no later than 4 weeks.

 

You will find enclosed a copy of our leaflet, which tells you how we will handle your complaint.

 

Your concerns will be dealt with as quickly as possible, but to help us deal more efficiently with your enquiry, please quote 9******** when writing or telephoning the number at the top of this letter.

 

Yours Sincerley

Paul Williams

Customer Relations Officer

Customer Relations.

 

 

Is this the usual reply??

Should I send the next letter, or should I wait 4 weeks??

 

Thanks

Yes, that is the usual reply!

Yes, you should send LBA!

Yes, stick to your schedule, they are trying to stall you.

 

Imagine if you waited 4 weeks only for them to say that you are not going to get anything refunded nor do they accept any responsibility?

 

You are in control, and you call the shots, so don't let them decide on your behalf.

 

Of course, that's my opinion, you could wait if you want to, but I personally wouldn't.

Hello again,

I received another letter from the Halifax, this time they have offered me half the amount of the charges and asked me to sign a declaration saying I accept the offer and that is the end of it.

So time to send the next letter :)

I will keep you upto date as to what happens next.

Hi,

Sorry its been so long since I posted on here.

What happened is, I sent my final letter "signed for" and it never arrived, when I contacted the post office they said "Im sorry, its just coming up as in transit and undelivered, I dont know where it is, please wait upto 10 days", so I did, phoned them again, same message.

So I sent another letter special delivery, this has been delivered, but still no reply.

So now I need to take action online.

Could somebody please point me in the right direction for the instructions on how to take legal action, i.e which website and how to do it?

Many thanks

Ok,

I have found the link and prepared my online claim.

As soon as I get paid later this week I will be paying my court costs.

 

Another thing I have noticed, my bank account online usually says overdraft limit £250.00 but now it says N/A, does anybody think the bank knows whats coming next so they are getting ready to close my account?

Also since I started the process I have a couple more charges on my account, should I reclaim these after my case is complete?

If you havnt filed yet you can keep adding on the charges until it is filed at court. Just keep adding :D

 

Im not sure about your overdraft, I am near the end now.......:rolleyes: and fingers crossed they havnt touched mine.

 

I will go balistic if they do :eek:

nope, no letter needed.

Just add them to your spread sheets. You can keep adding to your spread sheet until the last min. Until you hand over at court.

You dont need to inform anyone of this.

Because of a mix up they did i added almost £3000 at the last min. :D

OK

Put claim in via MCOL on Friday 2nd February 2007, it was served today Monday 5th February and it says the defendant has 14 days to respond.

 

The question I have is on the site when I logon to MCOL it has a tab called "Judgement" if I click on Start I have two options, do I not use these until the 14 days is up?

 

I've looked in the help section in MCOL's website but its not that helpful.

 

Any ideas?

Only use the judgement if you dont hear anything for 14 days. Not before, you dont want to be making any mistakes now this far in ;)

Ok,

Halifax were served with the court papers and have 28 days apparantly from the date they were served.

On the 19th February 2007, Halifax "Acknowledged" the claim.

Now im guessing this just means they are saying "Yes we have received the claim"

Last week which was over a week after I payed for the court service online, I got another letter from Halifax saying "Im sorry to hear you are unhappy with the banks charges, please phone me to discuss the situation"

I have ignored this letter and am now waiting to see if the bank pay me in full, ignore me so I have to ask for default judgment or raise a defence against my case.

I contacted Money Claim Online as I was confused, originally I was told they had 14 days to respond, I didnt realise this meant they only had to Acknowledge the claim within 14 Days.

They have done this on the 19th and MCOL now say the Halifax have until 4pm on the 12th March 2007 to submit a defense or I can then apply for default judgement against them, this is taking a lot longer than I thought, I started the process at the beginning of December!

Is there any end to it?

Like most others Im starting to worry now

Good luck toffeeman! Halifax were easier on me!!! They paid up after I telephoned when they didn't respond to the LBA. I'd have gone the whole way like you are though if they'd not. I suppose if you look at it another way, by taking them to court you do get back "a little xtra" 8% from Howard Halifax ;)

 

best wishes. jaxads x

jaxads

 

Halifax - £2281, successfully refunded all charges after LBA letter & telephone call.

Have been offered the difference between the £20 and £12 charges from Capital One -- am sending LBA for remainder.

GE Money - Received settlement of £441, being total charges requested. No interest though.

CCA'd Bank of Scotland / Blair Oliver Scott to produce CCA Agreements on two Credit Cards - well in default, although still chasing payment!!!

EOS Solutions "ceased action on account" on behalf of a friend.

 

All in all, quite busy at the moment and enjoying every minute of it
:eek:

OK Starting to worry now!

The court sent me a document saying the Halifax had acknowleged the case on the 19th Feb and they have 28 days (14th March) to submit a defence.

Halifax have ticked the box that say they intend to defend all charges!!

Is this normal??

Or should I start worrying??
