    • dunno you've not scanned up what you've had before how can we tell?  
    • Today , after a lotof years i recieved a letter from this lot. Very friendly, "Were writing to remind you that we havent had any contact from you in a while".  The velvet fist, followed by  a veiled threat to get their preferred debt collectors involved. Yep dead right. In 1992/3 I took out a Student load under duress from DHSS. uP TO 2000 I hadsucessfully gotten deferment on low income. But rarther thansign on as unemployed,I decided to be self employed. I applied and they asked for all sorts of documents. I obliged and then correspondance ceased from them, circa 2001. To date  I have had no correspondance from Student Loans. I was made  redundant in 2009 and  reached 65 in 2012 , at which age the loan should have been cancelled. Now ,today, 12 years on retirement and 11 ( at least years after last contact) I get a letter with veiled threats. Do I , as I smell a scam a) ignore it and hope that Erudio will think that this phishing attempt has failed or b) respond with a statute barred letter or c) remind them of legal terms that loan should be cancelled 12 years ago or d) combination of b) +c)      
    • But I'm not mixing and matching. Sure, when researching I do check multiple avenues, but when speaking, I will open a single post. The Fb post was made in March, it is now June, time has passed, and when the suggestion was made, no further information was given on how I should progress beyond "send a letter", which has meant that I've needed to start another stream - this one, but only after taking the time to research first.
    • hes not turning you away he is simply saying that you should stick to one channel of advice. he is perfectly happy with that channel being this forum, and he will help you   all he is saying, and I agree, is that you should stick to one help channel, not mix and match 3/4

    • 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.

Hi Andie, looking at your Statement of Price....can I ask if you know what the Lifecare 24 is?

 

 

Thanks for looking Dipply - I'm claiming ALL insurances back as none would pay out on my with my existing medical condition - technically DG/NU should have voided the insurance and returned all the money but we all know why they aren't gonna be able to do that don't we??

 

In the meantime I was sure I had them on the interest on agreement fee but now after Peter has said what he did I don't think I can.

 

However not to be beated I feel a test case is in order - I'm still taking the agreement to court and will go for enforceability citing fraud and misrepresentation of the facts about what I know is in there that doesn't show up (follow my drift!)

 

As always I just need a good judge on a good day and hell I'll risk the court costs on it - Will Welcome risk the cost of it all coming out and being on court record?

;) Got my £10 put by lol

 

Having a closer look at your statement of price BTW, can you try calculating the monthly amount of Insurance they list by the 36 months and see if the figures match up? And can you confirm what interest rate (not apr arrghh! lol) they state on the agreement?

 

I can't see the figures completely.

I am in no way a legal advisor and only speak from my own experiences and the helpful advice of those in the same boat! :p

I've just been having a look at a thing called "The Misrepresenation Act 1967".

It *appears* to say if you're lied to when making a contract (say a loan agreement!) then the contract may be rescinded

and you are entitled to restitution (ie, returned to the state you were in before the start of the contract) -

so if you've borrowed £5000 and it cost you £12000 by the time you've paid charges/interest - you are owed £7000!

 

I think! But I'll be asking my solicitor on monday.

BigEgg - I like the sound of that - love to hear the outcome from your solicitors.

 

Also, hope I'm not going to throw any spanners in the works (and apologies I haven't read the whole thread) but I did claim on redundancy and it did pay out and it was Direct that I went through.

 

Just as a matter of interest has anyone looked at being mis-sold the whole loan and not just the PPI? I think I may have proof of this and just wondered if anyone else had gone down this route?

Hi everyone,

 

I have made an appointment to see a top financial lawyer next week and will take all my old WF agreements with me plus the latest one and see what he says.

 

In the meantime, I will continue paying them the smaller amount that CCCS said I should pay as I am legally bound by my agreement until the lawyer says I am not.

 

Thank you all for your advice on here but I have to resolve this matter now and get peace of mind.

 

If Welcome Finance folds then sobeit but I still have signed an agreement and owe them money whether I like it or not.

 

I will report back once I have had my expert legal advice.

 

Bye for now.

It's mainly down to OFT's guidelines in non status lending -

Underwriting - assessing the borrowers ability to repay & irresponsible lending & lending on equity alone.

Selling Methods - Should not encourage borrower to replace unsecured with secured debt

There are a few other thoughts I've had regarding terms within CCA 1974 but then get very confused with the amendments in the 2006 Act
