    • 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 I need some advice please. On Thursday we received a letter from Nationwide advising us they cancelling DD's and they would like the overdraft paid off. There is only 1 DD and the overdraft is £20. We received another letter today asking for repayment within 5 days. Do I ignore this and file at court as planned on Friday?

I would cancel the 1 DD myself, so as not to incur any further Charges if Nationwide re-instate the DD unexpectedly.

...and also, if U can afford it, pay off the £20 O/D asap.

 

The cancelling of your O/D is possible, cos it is deemed to be a Service.

 

However, it does seem very petty and could be viewed as being direct retaliatory action taken by Nationwide for U pursuing the return of your unlawful Penalty Charges.

 

Other potential Nationwide Claimants have had their Authorised O/D's cancelled, leaving them with threatened Debt Recovery action on sometimes several thousands of ££'s.

 

In your particular case, I wouldn't hesitate in complaining most forcibly to the FSO about Nationwide's threatening letter to U.

Financial Ombudsman Service

 

Cos of the heavy-handed action that Nationwide are proposing to take for the sake of just £20 'risk', IMHO it is very obvious WHY they are taking such action against U.

 

I would STILL File your Claim @ Court on your intended date and maybe wait until AFTER U have received your unlawful Charges from Nationwide via the legal process, before U contact the FSO.

 

That way, there will be NO confusion as to the remedy of your complaint and U will receive your money so much sooner hopefully.

 

Even if U don't receive an apology and nothing comes from your complaint, at least U will know that it will cost Nationwide several hundred ££'s to have to pay for the complaint to be investigated...lol...:D

Hi everyone

We popped into the Nationwide this afternoon to pay them their 20 quid, however this has now gone up to £70 which I can't afford to pay. My husband has been unemployed for 6 months. Also picked up a claim form from the County Court. I'm starting to get very nervous, any advice please.

Hi Paddywife. I was about to file my claim when I came across the thread 'Another win-Cuddles v Nationwide. I recommend reading it. I held fire and instead went to the Financial Ombudsman instead saving me £120 court costs. Apparently people going this way having followed the procedure as you and I have are suddenly getting very quick results from the Natiowide. Possibly because they apparently get a £500 fine when the FOS send a complaint on your behalf. Something to consider? ;)

Hi everyone, I thought it was time I updated this thread. I filed N1 on 13/06/07 (sorry trickyt I missed your post above), this was deemed served on 15/06/07.

I recieved acknowledgement from court dated 19/06/07 saying that Nationwide responded to the claim indicating an intention to defend all of the claim. I'm now bricking it! I have not received an allocation questionaire, should I start to prepare Court Bundle? Also I'm very worried about T&Cs, I don't have these as the account was opened in 1988. Can anybody help please.

Hello Paddywife

 

If it helps... i was in a similar situation just the other day too.

 

My Acknowledgement of Service ' 28 days ' was almost up and i was very worried about going to court.

 

I let it go two or three days PAST the 28 days before i was going to do anything more.

 

The Nationwide put in a defense right at the last minute. But i have read here that its all just normal procedure and so i checked my account balance to see if anything had gone in and.... they had paid up.

 

I have all my money now . I WON!!!!!

 

Hope yours is resolved soon too.
