    • 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.

I have a Halifax loan as well and at the time when i received all my bank charges (250+ some months) i wasn't able to pay the loan because Halifax had taken half of my wages already!

 

I had to draw the rest out just to pay rent and live, some months barely having enough for food.

 

Due to this i missed sevral months payments on my loan and they charged me for that, then when i started to get straight Halifax would transfer large sums (5-700 quid a time) out of my account and starting the vicious circle again. i am currently starting a claim against halifax for my bank account and am worried that as soon i recieve any payment (hopefully) from them they will transfer it straight out again >,

 

Also they handed it over to a credit company but a month after getting letters from them they took £700 out of my account as a loan transfer!

 

Does anyone have any experience or advice with this?

 

Thanks to everyone for their help so far too ^^

Hi, I know its difficult just now but there should be an answer.

 

Have you had a look at FAQ section, above. Also have a look at other peoples threads and see what process they went through. Everyone is in much the same boat or has been.

 

Someone with more experience than me will answer the specifics. Good luck!

Hi Fullick

If I come across anything I will get back to you. I am sure that someone with more experience than me will be able to help.

I understand the effect of double charges between the 2 accounts and that can be dealt with in the claim process. That part of it applies to me between BoS and Halifax but not the large sum transfer. Was that several months arrears or what?

Hi Fullick

 

I have sucesfully claimed against Halifax for my Account and now am in the process of claiming the charges applied to my loan account

 

I know how you feel, they used to take monaey from my account to pay the loan, so i got an account with another bank to thwart this.

 

If you need any further advice just give me a shout and i will try and help you as best as i can

Thats up to you mate, no reason why you cant file as many claims as you want - As long as you can keep track of where you are upto with them all

 

I split mine up just because i cant always come up the court claim fees for multiple claims at a time

You want to get another bank account set up with a different bank.

basically as you have a halifax bank account and an halifax loan.

halifax can make offset requests to pay your loan from your account without your permission.

 

Barclaycard did this to me when i had a barclays bank account. they stole a few £xxx in 1 go, then sent me a letter a few days later advising me that they can do this and will carry on doing this.

 

so i would advise getting a new basic account with another organisation. and setup new DD if you have any.

 

i woud also advise this as such you will then have a parachute account, in case they turn nasty and close your account, after you claim victory of their charges.

 

Good Luck mate.
