    • for the sake of history, i've merged your old sadly failed charges reclaim court claim. have they ever sent you a default notice regarding this mortgage? dx  
    • I am financially at  point where I can see the light at the end of the tunnel regarding my debts. I have one remaining and I am interested to see what my options could be. I have be in contact with the Citizen’s Advice Bureau and the National Debt Helpline, but their advice has been a little more generic (but still helpful). This debt is 12 years old and is now owing around £3k. It was a bank loan and has been passed to several creditors over the years. A payment plan has always been in place and is up to date. I get statements every 6 months. There has never been a CCJ. I have been sent the letters advising of change of ownership. Following my own review of my finances, I decided to contact the current creditor to see if they have a copy of the credit agreement. I regarded this as due diligence as the debt has been sold on several times. The creditor updated me several times saying they had requested the document from the original lender. After 12 months of this they wrote to me saying they had not received it but were still waiting and would send it once received. The last letter was over 6 months ago. I then submitted a freedom of information request to the current and original creditor. The original creditor supplied one, but the current one did not include one in the pack they sent me. I went back to them to ask specifically about this as it was what I requested in my request. They replied saying the debt was sold to them as one without the credit agreement and they did not have it. They have requested it above, so I believe that means they cannot obtain it either for the FOI request. I contacted the original creditor and exercised my ‘right to be forgotten’, under the Data Protection Act, which they have complied with. I also got my up to date credit file and this debt is not showing on it with the current creditor or any others. I contacted the creditor and made them an early settlement offer. They do have an early settlement offer in place on their portal, but I was advised to try to get a reduction via negotiation. I have not heard back from them yet, but I understand through a separate upheld compliant it has or will be refused. Due to this complaint and the creditor putting the account on hold I had stopped payments, and advised them of this. To date, they have not contacted me about resuming payments since the complaint is resolved, but it has only been a few weeks. I am annoyed that they were not honest with me about not having the credit agreement, because that is not being transparent and I understood they should tell you if they do not have it.   I have two questions (but am open to anything else anyone would like to add): 1) Based on the above, does anyone think this account enforceable? I do not think it is? 2) Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed? I could resume payments and then settle early. If the above had not happened, I may have just done that. Thank you for any help or input anyone can provide. It is appreciated.

    • 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.

Thanks guys. Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.

I can't stand using laptops. Keys are all over the place - I usually type at just under 80 wpm, and on a laptop I'm forever going back to replace letters that I didn't mean to type because they're IN THE WRONG BLOODY PLACES!!!

If the left panel is here to stay, wouldn't it be good to have links to FAQs and libraries there? I know they're all on portal page, but once you're deep in the forum, it would be handy to have them visible, it's just someone new commented they found the site hard to follow...

 

just a thought...

When you are next re-jigging, I am loathe to suggest more work for you as I know how long the last one took, any chance of putting a copy of the new posts button at the bottom of each thread.

 

When I am browsing I tend to read a thread and then go directly to new posts. I normally hit the home button and then go to new posts. If you were to put a new posts button at the bottom it would save hitting the home button.

 

I've just read this and reallised that I am asking you to spend several hours work to save me a second or two. I'm a lazy sod. If you are doing another re-jig, and it takes seconds to do it would be great. If not feel free to pile loads of abuse on me.:D

It's strange, but since the layout changes, I can no longer click the smilies on the right hand side to insert them into a post - plus, it seems that I have to enter HTML line breaks to get line spacings right.. Plus, the Quick Links/Thread Tools/etc... bars no longer drop down - the Quick Links bar ends up along the top, replacing the User CP/FAQ/etc... and I haven't actually found where the Thread Tools one goes!

 

Weird!

 

Using the WYSIWYG editor and FF 1.5.0.3

Nope - absolutely nothing changed here, I was online at the time of the changeover and noticed it starting going funny at that point. Realised you were doing some changes and thought little more about it until I realised it was staying with me :( (NB, it's all the formatting buttons too)

Am going to try clearing the cache and all that this morning, now I've got my tabs down to a manageable level.....

Well, scrap that Dave - must've had a corrupted cookie or something in the cache was dodgy :confused:

Clearing both has resolved the problem :rolleyes:

 

Cheers anyway :oops:

On the whole I find the site quite user friendly, but it would be useful to be able to see the thread I am replying to. Do I need to change some settings somewhere or could this facility be added sometime in the future?

 

I know you mods are all working hard so no pressure at all. Keep up the good work.
