    • 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.

Wow, after all you did to let them know there was a court case. I would wait and see what the paperwork is before you ask them to change court, after all it could just be for a set aside hearing.

I have not had one myself but I have read about them in other peoples Abbey Threads. It would appear it is where Abbey have a judgement against them by default (like you) and when they have to pay up they apply to the judge for a set a side hearing saying they did not receive any of the paper work from the court. The court would appear to always judge in Abbeys favour and then the court process starts all over again. It is just a stalling tactic.

Rang the courts yesterday as I got off work a bit early. Spoke to a helpful chap who said that the notes said it had been passed to his department - but he hasn't recieved it as he has processed that batch. He's going to do some digging for me and get back to me today. He couldn't tell me what the application was for? so I will find out later today hoepfully!

Sorry I've not been around for a while guys.. new business has been going great, so this had to go on the back burner...

 

Update:

Judgement was stayed for 14 days giving Cahoot a chance to make an application

Just phoned up now, and they ahven't made an application... BLoke at the courts couldn't understand why they had doen that (delaying tactic on cahoots part I think)

SO I ahve e-mailed them givving them till 3pm to ring me, before I take out yet another warrant.

However - I will ring them at 3pm if I haven't heard anything. And try and speak to someone..

 

DO I just phone customer services, or another number? I have had nopthing from their legal team or anything..

Spoke to Abbey legal team... well spoke to someone at cahoot who relayed the info, then got a very panicy phone call from there legal team. They are applying for judgement to be set aside - though the judge might well tell them to P*** off as they missed their 14 day window. they asked me to hold off taking out another warrant until they make the application - so I will give them a couple of week (I am moving soon - so I won't be able to chase them up anyway).. I will rinf them a week friday if I haven't heard anything. Would be lovely to get the money before christmas though I'm not holding my breath...

Chimera why are you letting Cahoot mess you about. If the shoe was on the other foot you would be faced with hefty charges and possibly a CCJ. Send the Baliffs in and get your money. You have done everything by the book, you have given them more than enough time to pay up. Just my thoughts after reading this I'm not an expert. Looks like I will have to think along the same lines as you. My case goes to court in ten days!!!!!!!
