    • HI DX Yes check it every month , after I reinstated the second DD I was checking every week. Also checked my bank statements and each payment has cleared. When responding to the court claim does it need to be in spefic terms ? Or laid out in a certain format? Or is it just a case of putting down in writing how I have expained it on CAG?

    • You have of course checked the car is now taxed and the £68 is stated against  the same reg?  If the tax for the same car did over lap, then I can't see you having an issue pleading not guilty Dx

    • Afternoon all Looking for advice before I defend claim for car tax payment that the DVLA claim I owe £68 from an idemity claimback from my bank and unpaid tax  brief outline. Purchased car Jan 30th ,garage paid the tax for me after I gave them my card details  first payment £68 out in Feb 24  followed by payment of £31 from March due to end Jan 24 Checked one of my vehicle apps and about 7-10 days later car showing as untaxed? No reason why but it looks like DVLA cancelled it , this could be because I did not have the V5 and the gargae paid on my behalf but not sure did not receive a letter to say car was untaxed.  Fair enough I set up the tax again staight away in Feb 24  and first payment out Mar 31st , and each payment since has come out each month for £31 , this will end Feb/Mar 2025, slightly longer than the original tax set up, all good. I then claimed the £68 back from my bank as an indemity refund as obviously I had paid but DVLA had cancelled therefore it was a payment for nothing?  Last week recieved a SJP form dated 29th May stating that DVLA were claiming for unpaid tax and a false indemity claimback which of course is the £68. It also stated that I had received two previous letters offering me the oppotunity to pay that £68 but as I had not responded it was now a court claim that I must admit guilt for or defend. My post is held for weeks at a time from Royal Mail ( keepsafe) due to me receiving hospital tretament at weeks at a time that said I did not receive any previous letters from DVLA. I am happy to defend this and go to court but wondering what CAG members think? In summary I paid an initial amount of £68 and then a DD of £31 , tax cancelled  I set up a new DD at £31 a month all in the month of Feb 2024, I claimed the £68 back from my bank. DD has been coming out each month without issue and I have paperwork to show the breakdown for both DD setup's plus bank statements showing the payments coming out . The second DD set up has extended payments up to Feb/Mar 2025. DVLA claiming the £68 was ilegally claimed back despite the fact they cancelled the original DD for reasons unknown. Is this defendable ? I will post up documents including the original DD conformations

    • 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.

Wow,

 

New graphics ....:)

 

This morning I had a letter from my local branch from a person called Txx Exxx asking me to contact them.

 

I already have a letter from their Complaints Dept agreeing that the branch cannot contact me by phone.

 

I have changed my phone number anyway.

 

So they must have been trying to call my old number so broke their Head Office instruction.

 

So I called them and witheld my new number naturally.

 

A man eventually answered and I asked for the woman Txx and he said that nobody of that name works here but is at another branch.

 

Probably another Welcome lie.

 

Anyway I said that my local branch is not allowed to call me and referred to the HO letter that confirmed this and he eventually found it.

 

Then he said where is your three monthly Income & Expenditure form.

 

I said that I sent it via Recorded Delivery in June and he said we don't have it.

 

He then started to become very arrogant and said you owe us money to which I said " I am now going to call HO and complain once again.

 

I then put the phone down.

 

Tried to get through to their Complaints Dept but was put in a queue and gave up after 12 minutes ....:-x

 

I then called the Post Ofiice and it was never signed for and must have been lost in the post.

 

They also said that if it had been delivered and nobody was there to sign for the letter, then there would have been a report logged to this effect.

 

So not only are my personal details lost somewhere but I have to send this information to them once again.

 

This time I will send them via Courier who has to get a signature.

 

Anything to do with this company just makes me mad.

 

I loathe them with a passion.

 

Voda

 

PS. Which reminds me, I had better check with the Post Office that they have received my SAR.

Does the total sum offered exceed any arrears? If so they must pay the balance direct to you & not set it against the loans

Hi im also having problems with welcome,they are adding £150 interest to my account every month,dont know what to do! can anybody help?
You need to start by geeting all the info about your account. If you don't have regular statements, you will have to send a SAR with £10. Make sure you aske for the underwriteing sheet specifically if there is any insurance on your loan

Well, that seems to be a first. They appear to prefer first contact to be by telephone. Idiots.

 

I suspect, but I do not know for sure, that Welcome are selling on accounts where they know they would have trouble enforcing the debt.

 

Only time will tell. As yet, I haven't heard of anyone managing to get anything like a CCA from them, enforcable or not. Early days. But as they learn what this debt purchse lark is all about, at least we'll get to see at first hand whether or not Welcome have stitched them up good and proper.

 

Since they don't appear, from what you say, to have come up with a satisfactory response to your perfectly reasonable request for a copy of your agreement, you are not obliged to continue paying them a penny. I would NOT advise you to stop paying them. But I certainly cannot fault you for it.

Never done this before so I hope this works! My partner an I got a loan from Welcome Finance in September 2007 for £2500. We have missed payments along the way bet agreed to pay £200 pm compared to the £165 in the agreement. This has gone on for ages and the payments have been getting made each month. My credit report says my balance is currently at £2600 but then we received a phonecall from them saying we could pay off the loan at reduced amont of £3600! We have paid way more than this in the last 3yrs and our balance doesn't seem to be going down AT ALL! Our agreement was over 3yrs and this comes to an end in September this year. I feel like telling them they can stick it and that i'm not paying them another penny but i'm not sure how this will pan out. Do I have any rights to do this and what will happen if I do? I have also had the usual problems with them such as up to 13 calls a day, doorstep visits and bitchy staff. My partner an I both work, have a mortgage and 3 kids under 6yrs and we are really struggling to keep up these outrageous payments when they don't seem to be making any difference to the balance. Did you or anyone else have any luck in getting rid of these leeches? Please help!!!

you need to start your own thread.

 

do some reading in the welcome forum too

 

they are the biggest leechers ever and i would suspect they owe you!

if you're getting 13 calls a day, thats 13*£25 they are charging you.

 

you can claim EVERYONE of those call charges back & the letters charges and a whole lot more +++++interest on top.

90% of the time welcome owe you!! ... that is if the agreement is not pants as well!!

 

start your own thread and do some reading
