    • 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.

that was quick welsh nick

 

You only need to post your preliminary letter with a copy of the spread sheet for charges you don't need to post statements to Abbey yet?

 

Now wait for the sorry you feel you need to complain and it will take 4 weeks to look in to your complaint, our charges are fair etc, stick to your dates and you will be fine

 

Good luck

All you need at this point is your pelim letter and the spreadsheet which you can find here

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/182-6-interest-calculation-spreadsheets.html

 

Choose the one you want but if it's only the 8% s69 interest you're claiming then I'd use the simple excel one, it works fine. Just input the info and it will automatically calculate the days since offence and the 8%. Don't include the 8% at this stage when sending to Abbey. That comes with the N1 for court.

 

Stick to your timetables no matter what they tell you, keep following the tried and tested steps and you'll get all your money back.

 

Good luck. :)

you don't send any statements yet!

 

As Robdblynd has already said type your charges into the spread sheet (link provided) and send them with your letter, they are refered to on here as SOC or schedule of charges.

 

You need to send another copy with your LBA and also to the court when you are ready so make sure you save it ;)

Quick Question...

If i claim for OVER 6 yrs of charges, is there anything different that i need to do (instead of just the flat 6yrs). Or does it not matter?

I have statements from Jan31st 2001 and was going to use all the charges listed from that date... and if i claim Just 6yrs, does that date begin when i make my 1st request (25th June 2007) and any charges before 25th June 2001 cant be requested??

Hope this makes sense??

Thanks for any replies!!

Nick.

Hi Nick

 

The 6 year limit starts from the date you file at Court; when I sent my Prelim it included charges from April and May 2001, but I then took them off when I filed on 22nd June.

 

However, there is a very good argument for claiming beyond the 6 year limit - I didn't because I have no confidence in my ability, but I read this and it made sense:

Hope that helps.

 

Best regards

Thanks for the reply Jo,

 

I think i'll be happy carrying on with the 6yrs only, as i will have to go down the road of additional requests and waiting time to collect the appropriate statements and charges lists from Abbey!! And this could take ages!! due to Abbey stalling wherever they can...

And as i am close to the LBA stage i'm happy to continue where i am, with the 6yrs worth,

Thanks Again..

Nick.

I have recieved the standard 'looking into your complaint' letter from Complaints Dept, but will be moving on to the next stage regardless.

I am about to go into the realms of nervousness now... Issuing the court papers.. Form N1 filled in, printed off and attached with spreadsheet including interest rates. I just have to wait for payday before i take it all to the Court! (probably re-print spreadsheet on the day, as amounts change).

Any advice or anything i might have missed, or need to know would be truly grateful!!

Thanks in advance.

Nick.

Using the new poc thats been kindly produced for our use, can anyone offer any advice on filling it in with the N1 form and what i need to look out for.??

Don't want to cock this up here...

Cheers

Nick..
