    • 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.

Sorry to be a bit thick about this but do I?

 

1. As I don’t know the exact amount send the DPA letter to the Abbey and when I get the records and then………………

2. When I get a reply from them detailing the charges send the letter and spreadsheet detailing my claim?

I’ve just had to go into my branch and practically beg that they extend my overdraft because THEY have charged me over £600 in charges since January. I told them that the reason I was over £1400 short plus the charges was because I had a dispute with the council and they got an AOE for my council tax which was taken all in one go in January. The Abbey told me that they will appeal to their underwriter to extend my overdraft to cover the charges that they have levied. I went into the bank to cancel my direct debits but when the girl realised I was cancelling their (Abbey) insurances then she came up with this idea of appealing to the underwriter.

You need to think about opening another bank account and having your salary paid in there so that you can get some control back. Abbey speaking to its underwriter is the same thing as Abbey speaking to its reflection in the mirror.

Just a couple of poits though. Won't they submit all this as evidence if I take them to court and use it in their defence? Could n't they claim I was negligent and they have bent over backwards to help me because I mis managed my money?

No The charges are unlawful no matter how poor a money manager you are

The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.

This is the final straw. After speaking to Abbey they have told me that has just come back to me and said that they are unwilling to increase my overdraft on a temporary basis. I explained that the reason it was £94.64 was because they have charged me over £600 in charges since 1st January. I’m going to close the account and go elsewhere in the eternal hope that things get better. I’m only afraid now that if all this is logged onto their system that they will call in the overdraft.

Open another elsewhere now. If you want your charges back you should start action in accordance with the Step by Step Guide.

I've started my claim against them, MBNA and Capital One and have done it in accordance with the advice from the forum. I'm sure I'll be succesful but there is always a danger that in my current situation that Abbey will take their bat and ball home and call in the overdraft. If they call in the overdraft when I have a pending action against them would they bring my delinquency into question as part of their defence.

No. It's nothing to do with it.

As soon as you wages stop going into the account they will give you one month to pay back your overdraft, so think carefully about your options.

 

How much is your overdraft?

Thanks. So they would n't even bring it up in respect of my action?

They probably will refer to it in their defence but it is not relevant to the issues which you are raising.

Not being admissible means that the judge won't hear it or won't consider it when making his decision. It doen't mean that it is not included in the papers.

sorry for being a bit thick here but if it is included in their papers then it is being submitted and therefore would n't it have to pass the admissibility test? Won't the judge look at all the papers?
