    • Dear all, I am hoping for some advice/guidance on this matter. I received a LoC dated 12/04/24 and replied to this on the 2/05/24 disputing claim with the following reasons: 1: [Inadequate Affordability Assessment]: I contend that your institution failed to conduct a thorough assessment of my financial circumstances prior to approving the loan. As a result, the loan amount and repayment terms were not suitable for my income and financial situation. 2: [Unsustainable Repayments]: The repayment schedule imposed by the loan agreement placed an undue burden on my finances, making it impossible for me to meet my other financial obligations without experiencing significant hardship. 3: [Lack of Transparency]: Your institution did not adequately disclose the risks associated with the loan, including any potential increases in interest rates or fees over the loan term. I also added the following: Under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulations, lenders have a legal obligation to conduct thorough affordability assessments and ensure that loan agreements are suitable for borrowers' circumstances. I hereby request that your institution: 1: Conduct a full investigation into my claim of irresponsible lending. 2: Provide me with copies of all documentation related to the loan application and approval process, including affordability assessments, credit checks, and correspondence. 3: Cease all collection activities related to the loan until this matter is resolved. Yesterday i received the attached reply via email and it included: 1: The Original Loan agreement 2: An account statement 3: A copy of a default notice letter. The email included a link for a direct debit set up page where you enter their reference and your bank account details (looks like a standard D/D set up page) but there is nothing to indicate the amount of the D/D that I might be agreeing to. I also think two days response time is not long enough to appropriately reply. Any thoughts appreciated   Email-compressed.pdf

    • 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.

You could reply and say, yes you would like to reach an amicable settlement and will be quite happy to do so as soon as they provide the documentation you have repeatedly asked for.

 

You could tell them that their continued refusal to comply with consumer credit legislation is obviously a deliberate policy to confound and confuse, since any confusion that exists in the case could easily and immediately be lifted by them producing the requested documents.

 

Copy any letter to the court.

Mr. J Wild of Restons writes out on solicitors letterheaded paper, has signed the letter and has expressed legal opinion. There is no J Wild (that could be him) registered with the Law Society. I suspect that his letter may have contravened the Solicitors Act.

J Wild styles himself 'litigation manager'. IN reality he will be some office junior in short trousers. ;)

 

 

Icepop, if you do answer the letter you could point out that, it would have been far quicker just to send you the proper document (If they have got it, of course.)than waste all these letters posturing and threatening. If they haven't got it, they ought to withdraw the case as they have no cause of action.

I disagree. The proffering of legal opinion is very highly regulated in the UK.

 

I think he has stepped over the mark. They are "Restons Solicitors" not "Restons Debt Management". "Solicitor" is a protected word.

 

A letter to the Law Society ( lawsociety.co.uk ) is very quick and they take it very seriously. If it was me, I would simply asking their opinion and copy them with the letters, takes 5 minutes. A "litigation manager" may or may not be a "solicitor", but at the end of the day Mr. Wild has stated he is acting on behalf of a client, has tendered legal opinion and has used the stationary of a firm of solicitors. It's a surprisingly serious offense. If you want Restons to back off pdq I would give it a go.

 

In a similar vain try offering medical opinion, on a GPs stationary, but sign it off as, say, "practice manager" and see what happens.

 

The legal profession are every bit as tight as the medical profession, if not more so.

Well, what a strange day!!!

 

Mr J.T.Wild rang me at work and announced that MBNA have written to the Court to withdraw the Summary judgment application against me. No reason was given or explanation offered apart from the usual costs of litigation but to say there didn't want to go any further????

 

Wants me to sign a CONSENT ORDER.It seems in order, with all order costs withdrawn and all further proceedings in the claim be STAYED.

 

Will post all.

Looks good. Be mindful that if you miss payments for £14.27 then I guess they can apply for judgment for the outstanding portion of the £9k. Better make sure that there are no hiccups along the way or it could cause a few headaches.

I think you have them by the short and curlies so you can dictate terms.

 

Also, I can't remember, are there any charges in this amount? If so, you should make their repayment part of any 'deal'

I’ve just read the particulars of claim on this case and seen at the end they state

 

“Together with:-Interest pursuant to s69 County Courts Act 1985 at the rate of 210.08pence per day to the date of Judgment or sooner payment” [£767 per year] which looks like 8% per year

 

Which to me means if this case ever got back in court there is a a nice little “financial time bomb” …..

 

 

Analysing how long it will take to pay off under the tomlin order

 

£9,499.20 at £14.27 PER MONTH = 666 PAYMENTS = 55.5 YEARS (corrected figure )

 

 

Regarding this tomlin order I was going to ask the question about whether interest could be added to the £9,499.20 but I seem to have answered my own question above . as the answer is contained in the particulars of claim

 

observation

how long do you have to pay under the debt plan?

and maybe a silly question will signing this prejudice your other creditors ??

Think the Consent order needs amending to reflect that interest shouldn't be charged.................
