    • I disagree with the charge and also the statements sent. Firstly I have not received any correspondence from DVLA especially a statutory notice dated 2/5/2024 or a notice 16/5/2024 voiding my licence if I had I would have responded within this timeframe. The only letter received was the single justice procedure notice dated the 29.5.2024 this was received on 4.6.2024. I also disagree with the statement that tax was dishonoured through invalid indemnity claim. I disagree that the licence be voided I purchased the vehicle in Jan 2024 from RDA car sales Pontefract with agreement to collect the car on the 28.1.2024. The garage taxed the vehicle on the 25.1.24 for eleven payments on direct debit  using my debit card on my behalf. £62.18 was the initial payment on 8.2.24  and £31 per month thereafter the second payment was 1.3.24.This would run from Jan 24 to Dec 24 and a total of £372.75, therefore the car was clearly taxed before  I took the car away After checking one of my vehicle apps  I could see the vehicle was showing as untaxed it later transpired that DVLA had cancelled my tax , without reason and I did not receive any correspondence from DVLA to state why it was cancelled or when. The original payment of £62.18 had gone through and verified by my bank Lloyds so this payment was not declined. I then set up the direct debit again straight away at my local post office branch on 15.2.2024 the first payment was £31 on 1.3.2024 and subsequent payments up to Feb 2025 with a total of £372.75 which was the same total as the original DD that was set up in Jan, Therefore I claimed the £62.18 back from my bank as an indemnity claim as this payment was from the original cancelled tax from DVLA and had been cancelled . I have checked my bank account at Lloyds and every payment since Jan 24  up to date has been taken with none rejected as follows: 8.2.24 - £62.15 1.3.24 - £31.09 2.4.24 - £31.06 1.5.24 - £31.06 3.6.23-£31.06 I have paper copies of the original DD set up conformation plus a breakdown of payments per month , and a paper copy of the second DD setup with breakdown of payments plus a receipt from the post office.I can also provide bank statements showing each payment to DVLA I also ask that my licence be reinstated due to the above  
    • You know hes had it when they call out those willing to say anything even claiming tories have reduced taxes on live tv AS Salmonella says: The Conservative Party must embrace Nigel Farage to “unite the right”, Suella Braverman has urged, following a disastrous few days for Rishi Sunak. The former home secretary told The Times there was “not much difference” between the new Reform UK leader’s policies and those of the Tories, as senior Conservatives start debating the future of the party. hers.   AND Goves replacement gets caught booking in an airbnb to claim he lives locally .. as of yesterday you can rent it yourself in late July - as he'll either be gone or claiming taxpayer funded expenses for a house Alongside pictures of himself entering a house, Mr McGuinness said Surrey Heath residents “rightly expect their MP to be a part of their community”. - So whens farage getting around to renting (and subletting) a clacton beach hut?   Gove’s replacement caught out on constituency house claim as home found on Airbnb WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK Social media users quickly pointed out house Ed McGuinness had posted photos in was available to rent     As Douglas Ross says he'll stand down in scotland - if he wins a Westminster seat - such devotion.
    • I've completed a draft copy to defend and will post up here for review.  Looking over the dates and payments this all stemmed from DVLA cancelling in Feb , whereby I set up a new DD in Feb hence the overlap, why they cancelled when I paid originally in Jan I have no idea. Anyway now stuck with pending court action and a suspended licence . I am also firing off a letter to DVLa recorded disputing the licence revoke
    • Thank you both for your expert knowledge and understanding. You're fighting the good fight by standing up for people like me and others with limited knowledge of this stuff. I thank you. I know all my DVLA details are good. I recently (last year) renewed my license, and my car's V5 is current with the correct details; the same is valid for my partner. I'll continue to ignore the love letters 😂 and won't let it bother either me or my partner.  I'll revisit this post if/when I get a letter of claim.  F**k ém.

    • 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.

No - and i'm very surprised i'm 10 days my dd date which I cancelled - and now I really don't think they have really put my account into dispute so I'm sure it's just them being a bit slow - I'm so excited for when they do call - know exactly what i'm gonna say, got my recorder ready - bring it on! :p

Just been talking to our companies rep from the bank who finance our products. His commenets were that When they sell ppi, they have to go through needs and demands with the customer to first of all qulify the customer and second to prove if they requsted it or not. On a lot of occasions the customer does not meet there insurance criteria so wont be offered it. They do there needs and demands questionaire so if it is disputed, they have the proof to prove that the customer requested the insurance otherwise it is mis-sold. He found it obsured that an insurance company cannot possibley hold data on any person that they underwrite a policy for and suggested that something is definately not right there. As far as we as customers are concerned, we have a policy to cover us for whatever the cover is but because no needs and demands have been carried out and the underwriters have no data on us then it is just pot luck if you get paid out so in effect, we dont really have a policy..... that was his view anyway.

 

some Welcome customers have a needs and demands but it's a load of crap - all filled in by the sales person and theres no portion where it asks any questions to assess whether you would or not qualify it just gives a short breakdown of each policy and basically the sales person fills in what you qualify to have i.e. if you have a car they fill in the car bits if it's a secured home loan its the homecare stuff etc.

More importantly no medical questionaire...

 

Important in my case as there is no way this insurance would pay out as I have an existing medical condition that affects me daily and I will be medicated for life - first referred to the neurologist in 2004 and filnally diagnosed in 2006 a whole 9 months before taking out this loan.

 

DG have even said they wouldn't pay out - so why am I still paying for it as Welcome have refused to cancel it??

 

Court can't come soon enough!!

Hi All

 

It's interesting that people are having mixed responses from Welcome whether accounts are in dispute or not...I started my dispute just under a year ago when I decided to sell property, stupidly showed my hand being naive but honest and queried all the faults with CCA etc, put account into dispute regardless of whether it was legal or not (they sent me copies of CCA and a substantial SAR all within time limits, including another persons documentation!) although I went through Fos and was told after 6mths they could do nothing, which I know welcome are aware of, I still consider the account in dispute.

 

I haven't paid them a penny since, they have never asked for payment, no bullish tactics, no default court action. Nothing, very unlike them. Now this could be them hedging their bets and hoping they will get any equity left on property, they were contacted last week by my solicitor, yet they still haven't sent a settlement or stopped the sale, it's all very odd, thought they would have swooped like the vultures they are, but not yet.

 

In my book, inaction is as much a sign of guilt and deception as their normal tactics to confuse and bully...still awaiting the outcome. If they stop the sale (and I hope they read this) I WILL hand the keys to the mortgage company...I have rented somewhere else, moving regardless, they can pick the bones that Halifax throw them! I'm cutting the gangrene out regardless and sending everything to the FSA and anyone else who can help bring them down. Sod them.

 

Also when I spoke to a senior person in Welcome they stated that they would most definitely not take me to court, AND any they would look more favourably on letting a sale go through and accepting quote "whatever they can get, they get" if I was to make payments again. I clarified I was not in any position to do this. Alas too late to spoon the sugar on for me Welcome.

The thing is I have never had a paoblem with Welcome until I questioned why I had PPI I could not use - I even kept them 13 months worth of payments whilst they kept refusing to cancel PPI without referring it to NU (which I have learned they are now supposed to do). I can legally dispute it as the claim in court is worth more than the amount outstanding on the loan but I din't for one minute believe Welcome have frozen it - guess it depends if they want to incur the judges wrath or not as I have the total outstanding when it went to dispute in a statement from them so if it increases by the time we get to court I will be making the judge have a word!

 

I did a SAR in September last year - never recieved it - no matter to me though dug up stuff myslef a hell of a lot more incriminating than anything they would have ever given me :)

Andie I think you obviously are armed and have a strong case. I am enlightened every day by this forum and I have less justification for my fight, I took the loan stupidly and couldn't afford it, My case is the mental, emotional and financial rape they have inflicted since through their greed and arrogance of having (a rather shoddy) secured charge which seems to give them carte blanche to do what they like, relatively ungoverned. it is only through forums like this and the power of honest communication that companies like this will be regulated more strongly, or at the very least people will be more aware of their rights and options.

 

I take my hat off to all of you and hope that any info that comes my way can help a little. What Welcome didn't expect with me is that I am a hoarder and I have every single thing related to my accounts, everything including intimidating notes put through my door...All going to FSA :)

Received a letter from Chris Palmer today. He's stating that Wilson v FCT doesn't apply to me as it was included in the Total Charge for Credit. He's also saying that I should be making my contractual payments. I've just emailed him to say it's with FOS now and I expect the account to be on hold until they've looked into this.

Quite right mojo.

 

It doesn't matter what you did or didn't sign if you aren't eligible for any of the benefits then that's strong prima facie evidence you've been mis-sold..........unless of course you lied........but then why would you

 

its allways interesting to read some of the comments by x-welcome employees on some of the forums. They allaways mention that insurance is just added to boost commissions, something we all know is true anyway. Needs and demands must be carried out and stored by some kind of recordable medium, if these cannot be produced then that is a case for mis-selling as like andie, she has an ongoing medical condition and if needs and demands and a health survey had been carried out then it would have been determined that she was not elligable and saved themselves some money as she will now take them to the cleaners.. and good on her.

Morning everyone,

 

Happy Easter.

 

Being the Devil's Advocate here !!!!

 

Could WF say in Court that Andie should have disclosed at the time of signing that she had an ongoing health problem?

 

Obviously I am not fully acquainted with all the facts in her case so I might be talking rubbish.

 

Anyone who can win against WF is a hero/heroine in my book.....:)

Happy easter voda, hope the easter bunny brings you loads of eggs.

 

If that question was asked in court, im sure the judge would respond by saying that if welcome had done there jobs correctly and completed a health survey then the issue would have been determined at that point as needs and demands/ surveys are a two way thing. With mine, it was just added and was told that we had to have it to get the loan, however we did not sign that section but a signature that is nothing like mine has been added. The trouble is that when welcome put this insurance on your agreement, that is is all they do, they just ad it on and hope they get away with it as they have done for so long. Most of the welcome employees dont hang around for long enough to face the consecuencies of the mis-sell they just view it as a big commission at the point opf sale.

Hi Voda

 

Yes you have a point BUT had they said to me (actually had they even asked me if I wanted insurance would have been a start but lets not go there) Do you have any pre-existing medical conditions?

 

My answer would of course been yes - something I take medication for everyday, affects my ability to work and is something I will have for the rest of my life.

 

But no was not asked, should have filled in a medical questionnaire which then Welcome would have been aware the policies were no good for me but again no such questionnaire provided.

 

The Lifecare is the one that gets me I don't drink don't smoke don't do drugs and yet I would pay the same for my so called lifecare and Mr Drug Addict Alcholic with a BMI of 40.1!! Now tell me how that can happen??

 

Anyway whats grerat about taking a missold PPI to court is that I don't have to prove a thing - it's for them to prove they and their policies met my demands - something they cannot do in a million years!

Happy Easter mojo8,

 

I am on a diet so no eggs for me sadly .....:(

 

Of course Andie has just replied and for a Welcome employee to forge your signature is very much a Criminal Offence.

 

I hope that you get them.....:)

 

Take care
