    • 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, We read with interest your comments regarding Welcome Finance. My daughter has been sucked into a loan which my wife and I didn't know about. She borrowed £3,000, there are lots of issues we are not happy about, we can help her settle her debts, but we would rather take on the fight. They are a bunch of sharks and would appreciate your Solicitors details. Many thanks, Tony Le Surf

So Dg Do Have The Figures

 

Busted

 

yes they told me earlier they had them but only those high up in dg can access them. but they will only release with nu's permission. :( so in case I need them can you offer any laws or statutes I can quote

i have checked with land registry there is no new charge on the property,only the old one

 

The question you need to ask is why did welcome not discharge the security when the first loan was cleared? and resubmit the charge? but more importantly they need to give the amount of the charge and details and any forms signed by you to allow the security, this is a requirement to support the charge...so therefore it effectively should have your loan number and dates on it. Get the charge certificate and see whats what, I'm waiting on mine, costs £16.00 but could be worth it if this doesn't stand up. Also it's easier to challenge charges in England, Scottish law is a bit more complicated...

 

I am not a legally minded person, just suggesting you get all the consumer info you are entitled too then take it to your lawyer. Follow this through as with secured loans this is where Welcome feel they hold the cards.

As Gloucs...says before you take any loan out with PPI, it should be put in writing before you take the loan out....send a SAR off in the first instance Mojo...

 

 

sent the SAR last week but now concerned about gloucs comments about them being put straight in the bin

Andie, that case that PT quoted, Wilson/Hurstanger (i think!) the chapters on secret comissions etc....you are entitled to know if your broker (agent or whatever they are calling themselves thesedays) received/agreed a comission or fee or rebate if you are paying for it, or interest on it.

 

You are also entitled to check that the correct Insurance Premium Tax has been paid on your behalf ;).

 

As you are currently in litigation with them, their figures do not add (statement of price) and they have been less than forthcoming...you have had no choice but to ask for these figures....you have also involved HMRC and they have asked you to fw your figures.

 

Put the onus on Welcome/DG forcing you to involve NU directly. I ahev to go now but will try and read that case PT said a bit more carefully later.

 

Question though....if DG have been talking to NU all this time, why do they still need to get permission from them, and why can NU STILL not contact you directly? HHHmmmm?

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
