Tightbum v LLoyds - Rule 3.3 (5) set aside, stayed or Varied order?

[katieandscott]

Hi there. I have just recieved a letter from S,C & M this morning with a full and fianl settlement offer. I can't believe it has took you this long to get your money. I guess this will happen to me. I get a funny feeling they don't give money away easily and they like to make you sweat.

Hi tightbum, just so you know you're not alone, we sent our acceptance letter back and they received it 3 weeks ago yesterday...and still we haven't had any money. We are fed up with phoning aswell, we keep getting told our file is in a secure location and we could get paid anytime now. Starting to get me down now:cry:

[tightbum]

It is getting me down too. I may try the local branch manager to see if she can help. If BANKFODDER is out there does he/she have any suggestions on getting our money any faster or who to contact about it?

[tightbum]

PS. My letter was returned 3 weeks yesterday too!

Looks like they are not paying out now then either...

I was told (see my post) that I would receive my monies within 10 working days... those days are up tomorrow so Im hoping its in there by then otherwise I'll be contacting the FOS

mine was sent back to them at the same time and i got my money last week, they have a back log (according to [problem]) and they are working through it. Dont worry you will be paid!!

This has happened before and I think the most important thing is to keep to your timescales. It does not matter a jot if you have accepted their offer, if they haven't paid they haven't completed their side of the agreement. So if you are at the point that you can apply for judgement then DO IT! It will give you a legal judgement (yes by default which could then be stayed) but will give you further options eg Warrant for Execution. As long as you give a reasonable amount of time for them to forfill their obligations no court will reproach you for doing so.

 

If they still give you a stiff ignoring to then send in the bailiffs it will cost them more and focus their attention! Oh and it will give you a very persuasive argument for costs!

I too received offedr of F & F S sent acceptance letter back Recorded Delivery 23 July - they signed for it 25th July. I rang SC&M yesterday and was told it would take 2 - 3 weeks to go into my account. Are they allowed to withhold after a certain period or not?

My acceptance had to be in for latest 31st July - does this mean I should count the 2 - 3 weeks from then or from receiving my acceptance on 25th July? :o

 

Thanks:grin:

We finally got paid today!! My other half phoned sc&m about 1 hour ago and spoke to a really helpfull chap who said 'it shouldn't take this long to credit your account, and if you can fax a copy of the settlement letter i'll see if i can get it speeded up'. Copy was faxed to them within the hour and payment went in our account about 10 mins after:shock:. We spoke to 3 other people at sc&m previously who were very nice but not quite as helpful. It depends who you speak to so keep phoning if you've been waiting 3 weeks or more!!

Don't worry, they'll get what's coming to them! They're going down the same road as Yes Car Finance, aren't they? I have a Court hearing in October V. Welcome Finance & Approved Car finance. It's for misrepresentation but really there has been a catalogue of errors. Be Warned......
