    • 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.

Me again

 

Revised cheque sent on 26th Jan, cheque was debited from my account on 6th Feb,

 

I know they 40 days to reply but when does the countdown begin, the date of the letter or date cheque cleared from account ??

 

Am worried a little bit as others seem to have received there statements within a few days of sending letter.

 

I can print internet statements for the past 15 months but my account has been with the nationwide since Oct 04

 

What do I do after the 40 day period has lapsed ?

My cheque was made out to Nationwide BS and it was cashed with no problems so sounds like stalling tactics to me!

 

After reading the other postings on here I have started the 40 days from 2 days after posting the letter or date of receipt if you sent it by recorded delivery etc. I intend to send later copies with proof of posting just in case:)

Right I have calculated charges of £733, these are made up of Unauthorised overdraft charges, unpaid DD, cheque misuse, unpaid cheque charge.

 

The interest is £48 based on 8%

 

Do you include the standard interest charges or just the fees ?

 

Is the next stage the pre lim letter ?

Hi

 

Yes I get that bit, what I mean is do you include the "interest charges" from the statements (mine are approx £8-£10 each month) in addition to the additional bank charges.

 

Or are these interst charges the norm and therefore un-claimable ?

 

Thanks

Hi TG, it depends, if the interest came about solely because the charges took you overdrawn then yes, if you were already overdrawn then essentially, no, you have to calculate what interest they have charged you solely on the unlawful charges!

 

Hope this makes sense. If you have a look at a few other threads (including mine "Hi all, first timer here!!!") it may be clearer!!!!!!!!!!

Hi yes that is clear Ta.

 

No the accrued interest was basically me going into my overdraft, so have decided to leave that element.

 

Letter was sent today by 1st class RECORDED with list of charges excluding the 8% interest for the moment.

 

Will keep this thread up-dated

Hi

 

I am now drafting the LBA ready for sending on 16/17th March. I have a couple of questions I would like answering.

 

1.) Can I request my £10 back as they never sent any evidence of bank charges but cashed the cheque on 6th Feb........I found the evidence myself through internet banking ?

 

2.) Can I increase the schedule of charges to include £50 extra which is a another returned DD and unauthorised overdraft fee ?

 

THANKS AND AWAIT ADVICES
