    • have you informed the bank ever by email/letter of your correct and current address? you can always ignore anyone else accept the bank,  Block and bounce back all emails. Block any text messages  Ignore any letters unless it's: - a Statutory Demand - a Letter Of Claim - a Court Claimform via Northants bulk.
    • a CCJ does not 'expire' thus does not need any application to a court to 'extend it'. if a CCJ has not been enforced within 6yrs, then it is very unlikely any court would grant such should the claimant return to court, of which the defendant would be advised -( unless they have moved and not informed the court & the claimant such) .  
    • I contacted them when it happened. The caretaker came over, looked at it, and walked off with the tree chunks of mortar. Next morning, they had a roofer come over and enter our garden to inspect it. Friday they were supposed to speak with a scaffolding company. I had to bring up liability and potentially calling the council to report 'an unsafe structure' before they even got moving. They know all about the wedding, the preparations, our patio contractors etc. but their attitude doesn't instill me with confidence. My fear is it will end up being a legal matter which is why I posted here to hopefully receive some advice. As far as I can see, the roof is in a state of disrepair, even if it's just the mortar breaking lose due to the size and weight of the chunks - and even from ground level it's visibly clear that multiple pieces have fallen over time (though never this size so we haven't been able to identify the issue till now - we thought it was rubble left in the garden by the previous owner). Currently, we can't use 25% of our garden due to the risk of more falling mortar which is more than just an inconvenience, we can't proceed with our contractors, and at worst, it will run up in several thousand of extra expenses for us, if we have to find a wedding venue. Even if they do have it fixed in time, and we have to settle for renting a marquee and floor for the marquee and furniture and whatnot it will be additional costs only due to the neighbour's roof.
    • It will be years before Banks would sell to a debt buyer.  Sometimes Banks will use external debt collectors to try to collect, but generally Banks don't take Court action.  So you could be looking at 3 to 6 years, before any dca owning debt looks to take any Court action. And it is not definite that this would happen. So no need to feel pressured at this stage. In the event you found yourself unemployed, you have time to engage with Banks to advise of your situation and ask for time to deal with the situation, find new employment. As long as you inform the Banks they will offer assistance they can. E.g offer payment holiday or accept reduced payment for period. What you should not do, is not contact the Banks and simply default on payments.

    • 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.

Also I've asked this before but not had a response but trying again....

 

The APR on my loan when you put that in a calculator the interest rate comes out ALOT lower than stated on my agreement? - is that ok?

 

Also if my interest rate is lower than what is stated on my agreement why haven't my payments gone down or if they have stayed the same why aren't I paying off my loan any quicker??

 

I really don't understand the difference between interest and APR so sorry if I sound really stupid

take a few black coffee

 

if the apr stated has more than a 1% difference each way, up or down,

the agreement is crap, end off

 

short enough for you

 

start the calculator again

 

oh happy days me thinks knowing welcome agreements

 

 

ok anyone know of a backward calculator? how can I work out what the APR should be - sorry the only calculator I've been using tells you an amount you should be paying per month working out from the APR not showing how to work the APR

ill pm the master your agreement

 

he will prob be on tonight

 

he does not say a lot but allways spot on when it comes to agreements

 

Let him know the PPI on my agreement is crap as I shouldn't have been sold it with a preexisting medical condition - so I've got them on that it's just the rest of it.

Interest on acceptance fee, there is a variation of the figures but i'm not sure it's enough and the rate of interest should be 10% lower than it is.

I hate numbers almost as much as I hate Welcome!!

Option Fee?

 

Hi guys noticed a couple of people had questioned the option fee of their Hp agreements. I also have an option fee added to my agreement and thought i would share what i have found in the T&C's.

 

under section 4.2 of my agreement it reads "At the end of this agreement, provided you have paid all monies owing under this agreement and that the agreement has not been terminated, you may buy the goods. You may exercise your option to buy the goods by paying the option fee together with and in addition to your final monthly payment"

 

Now i might be wrong but does this mean i should pay the option fee at the end of the agreement IF i decide to keep the goods? And if this is the case should it be charged under charges for credit in the agreement?

 

Also in relation to the acceptance fee there is a paragraph at the bottom of the first page the begining of which reads "Interest, calculated on the amount of credit and acceptance fee outstanding from time to time throughout the duration of the agreement, taking into account the payments above, make up the finance charges for goods and the charge for credit for the insurances, which will be paid by you as part of each payment." Does this mean that i am being charged interest on the acceptance fee? my working out seems to make me think i am, and does this then make the agreement unenforceable?

 

Sorry for such a long winded opening.... i am not always so boring... honest.

 

keep up the good work guys and any feedback would be great.

 

PS my account is already in dispute ref: PPi but the more i can hit them with the better.

they have added your £100 deposit back in to the figures - or have I still got my stupid head on?? :?

 

 

yes they have the total should be £11,742.20 - so their total amount payable is wrong - now it depends (i think) whether they have calculated your APR with or without this £100 - let me see what I can do.

morning stewie - my head is aching from continually looking over my own agreement and trying to understand financial stuff - I'm still no clearer - what a minefield!!

 

Its a case of APR vs interest charge. Remember APR is basically EVERYTHING coupled together. You will have two figures on your contract. An APR and a Interest rate.

 

You have to seperate the two and calculate price for goods and insurance seperate to acceptance fee and broker fee etc.

 

So you cannot take the lump sum "total charge" and apply only the APR.

 

APR stands for Annual Percentage Rate. It's the percentage rate which your loan will cost you each year including all charges. Where the APR is 'fixed', it means the rate will stay the same throughout the repayment period. Where it says the rate is 'typical', it means that the lender has to offer the quoted rate to at least two thirds of its customers.

Hmmm clear as mud! sorry I really am thick today.

 

So interest doesn't matter? My real point is the APR that my loan is at shows a 10% difference in what the interest rate should be. So is it a case of as long as APR is correct interest doesn't matter?

And if that is the case how do they calculate their 'capitalisation' charges on their statement (which i believe is just their name for interest)

 

My rate says variable btw

 

so in order to see if the APR is right I need to take out the acceptance fee and just put the figures for insurance and goods in the calculator? does the credit charges for these go in as well?

 

Sorry I know I must be irritatingly stupid but want to make sure I'm getting it right.
