    • 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.

Just got the N.I. today, I know it might be a little tedious but could one of you kind wise souls let me know what stages i can expect now, and how best to deal with them.

There's loads of templates on this site, so many it make the ol' noggin spin :shock: , so just describe the steps and I will find the relevant template on here ;) .

Is there anything i can do to speed things up, and do I need to send in a list of charges etc to the court manager yet :confused: ?

 

Any help or advice will be gratefully recieved, and mum has already pledged to make a donation to the site, on my recommendation of course :D

 

The claim is for over £10,000 including court costs, so it's a whopper.

Thanks Bonnie :)

 

The link was helpful, although there is some sort of early motion to strike thingumybobs I can set in motion at certain stages of the court proceedings.

I've just recieved the N.I. from the court, so do I send a list of the charges I am reclaiming to the court manager now, or at a later stage?

 

:confused:

Blitz, the schedule of charges should be attached to your N1, and copies sent to Abbey and the court

All advice offered here is my opinion only based on what I would do in a given situation. If you wish to act on it you do so at your own discretion

Charley, is that the N1 or the N.I.?

 

My mum's just recieved the notice of issue from the court today (31/05), proceedings were issued on 25/05, was that the N1 I issued proceedings with?

 

If so, I did it with MCOL, so I'd have to send the list of charges by post anyway.

 

Should I have sent them straight after issuing proceedings, or can i get away with sending them with a copy of all my court docs now (not forgetting a copy of all of it to shabbey of course ;) )

 

?

 

S'ok Charley, I've just found out my claim form was the N1, I'm not too late sending my list of charges etc off am I?, N1 issued 25/05, sending charges list 01/06???

The reason I ask is because I took my mum's N1 copy, cover letter, schedule of charges ..etc, into the county court, and the clerk opened them in front of me and I noticed that mum hadn't actually put a signature on the bottom, she'd just typed her full name.

 

Is this ok?

 

Mum says she does it all the time, and it's perfectly acceptable, you don't have to provide a written signature as such, just a basic typed signing of your name.

HI Bitzpear

 

I'm not sure that this will answer your question but it'll bump your thread to the top and someone that knows any different should answer.

 

I can only go from my personal experience but when i took my N1 to court I hadn't signed it and the clerk said 'you need to sign the form', now what I don't know is what he'd have said if I'd typed my name.

 

It sounds like your mom's done this sort of thing before though, and if she's got her notice of issue it's probably OK ~ otherwise the court would have sent it back to her (wouldn't they?)

 

 

Hope it goes well for your Mom!

Mum's done it before yes, but if its not legally binding then shabbey may play dirty and use it against her.

Mum had already recieved her N.I. before I took her charges schedule and copy of the online N1.

Mum did her N1 on the Moneyclaim website, and her N1 was signed with a typed signature, as you obviously cannot ink sign an online form can you?

 

I suppose if her typed sig is good enough for her online N1 then its good enough full stop.

 

I think :confused:

Sorry, I am a bit confused, did your mum do MCOL? if so what exactly is she taking to the court? byu by and large, i would say that , yes, you do have to sign. But as i am not sure what you are taking to the court, i cant say definitively

Mum did MCOL, and as there isn't much room for information on the online N1, I took a covering letter, copy of the N1, a schedule of charges, spreadsheets detailing the statutory 8% added interest, and an invoice for solicitors fees from a solicitor mum used (in vain) earlier in the case.

 

It's mum's cover letter with the charges that she didn't sign, just typed her full name.

Well i think that there should be a signature, it sounds pedantic I know. Its a letter after all

Now that the N.I. has been issued and the claim served, might it be prudent to send Abbey a little nudge letter offering to settle for a little less than the filed for 10k ?

Mum has said she'll take £8750, which is all the charges and interest the bank deducted, plus costs, and a little extra on top.

 

I was going to word the letter (which I will copy to the court) like this..

 

With a claim against you now served, I'm sure you can understand how serious I am regarding this matter.

That being the case, I now make an offer for acceptance from Abbey Plc, of the sum of £8750.00 (eight thousand seven hundred and fifty pounds), in an effort to bring a swift and timely end to this dispute.

I am sure both parties are in full agreement that, to waste any more of the courts time regarding this matter, would be disrespectful to the case appointed District Judge and to Her Majesty's Court Service.

In view of my aims for a swift resolution, the offer of acceptance of the above mentioned sum, is valid for seven days only, with the offer expiring on 12th June 2007.

If the offer is made by Abbey, I will accept the offer in full and final settlement of this case, and this case only.

It is for Abbey to note that I am prepared to go all the way to a court hearing in this case, as I believe it will set a bad precedent for banks such as yourselves, and if the case does go to court, please be aware that I will have the full support and backing of the Consumer Action Group.

 

Thoughts please.

Well, I sent the offer letter off, and was promptly ignored (you were right Lula).

I have now recieved the acknowlegement of service from the court, with Abbey intending to contest the whole of the claim, more stalling tactics from Shabbey no doubt, as they now have 28 days to file a defence.

I assume it's just a case of awaiting the details of Shabbey's defence now, and if they do not enter a defence, moving to suggest a strike out against them, and in the event that they DO file some sort of sham defence, using the CPR part 18 request against them?

With the claim amounting to over ten grand, would it not be prudent to use the CPR part 18 against them now?

Mum has recently (yesterday) recieved Shabbey's stock defence they issue in all court cases like this, you know the one, what is laughable is that they refer to my mum as 'he' in it ...lol, so very shabbey of them.

 

As the claim is for over ten grand, I am sending a request to Shabbey today under part 18 of the Civil Proceedure Rules, that should set the cat amongst the Triton House pidgeons :-)

 

Any advice is always welcome.

Couple of questions.

 

1) Has Shabbey ever responded to a part 18 CPR request, with the appropriate information (is it possible for them to)?, as I am sure they won't be able to.

2) Could my mum expect an offer off of the back of this request?
