    • In short you never communicate with a Debt Collector, they have no power here at all. The snotty letter is only used to respond to a properly worded Letter Before Claim. The only time you would be recommended to contact the PPC is to send the snotty letter. You do nothing but keep the tripe they send you unless you receive a letter before claim.
    • Probably to do with the Creditor accepting the reduced payments claim as part of the IVA. - Thats my guess anyway.  As for the mount outstanding... 60k is incredible and im pretty sure a DRO wouldnt cover that much even after the new legislation.    For you @Alfy - Please stay headstrong and stop worrying. My viewpoint on debt with debt collectors is simple. You are a figure on a spreadsheet loaded into a database for them to run a collection cycle through.  They dont care about emotions or your situation, they just care about paying off their shareholders and trying to turn a profit.  They use varying tactics to increase the pressure on you to the point where you will break. People then fall for this an either cave in to DCAs before doing their own due diligence on the debts that are purchased or turn to IVAs like you have.    They are better ways to handle this and Im glad you feel better after a good nights sleep - I hope you can keep it up. 
    • Good afternoon,    I am writing in reference to the retail dispute number ****, between myself and Newton Autos concerning the sale of a Toyota Avensis which has been found to have serious mechanical faults.    As explained previously the car was found to be faulty just six days after purchase. The car had numerous fault codes that appeared on the dash board and went into limp mode. This required assistance from the AA and this evidence has already been provided. The car continues to exhibit these faults and has been diagnosed as having faults with the fuel injectors which will require major mechanical investigation and repairs.    Newton Autos did not make me aware of any faults upon purchase of the vehicle and sold it as being in good condition.    Newton Autos have also refused to honour their responsibilities under The Consumer Rights Act 2015 which requires them to refund the customer if the goods are found to be faulty and not fit for purpose within 30 days of purchase.    Newton Autos also refused to accept my rejection of the vehicle and refused to refund the car and accept the return of the vehicle.    It is clear to me that the car is not fit for purpose as these mechanical faults occurred so soon after purchase and have been shown to be present by both the AA and an independent mechanic.   Kind regards
    • Commercial Landlords are legally allowed to sue for early cancellation of the lease. You can only surrender your lease if your landlord agrees to your doing so. They are under no obligation even to consider your request and are entitled to refuse. You cannot use this as an excuse not to pay your rent. Your landlord is most likely to agree to your surrendering the lease if they want the property back in order to redevelop it, or if they wants to rent it to what they regards as a better tenant or at a higher rent. There are two types of surrender: Express surrender in writing. This is a written document which sets out the terms of the surrender. Implied surrender by conduct. (applies to your position) You can move out of the property you leased, simply hand your keys back and the lease will come to an end, but only if the landlord agrees to accept your surrender. Many tenants have thought they can simply post the keys through the landlord's letter box and the lease is ended. This is not true and without a document from the landlord, not only do you not know if the landlord has accepted the surrender, you also do not know on what basis they have accepted and could find they sue you for rent arrears, service charge arrears, damage to the property and compensation for your attempt to leave the property without the landlord's agreement. Unless you are absolutely certain that the landlord is agreeable to your departure, you should not attempt to imply a surrender by relying on your and the landlord's conduct.

    • 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.

Afternoon all, popping in, Romulus, I am sorry I did nto get back to you about your agreements yesterday...I actually fell asleep at stupid o clock going over them ...but need to ask - you said you and your partner were self employed, is that officially self employed? If so the PPI on one agreement is missold. I can't see anything really out of place on them but had trouble getting the figures to add up? Will have to try again!

 

Why is it you have to phone them today?

 

To all regarding the secured loans...dig deep. If you find anything amiss on their submitted paperwork that has cost you anything then it is a breach of section 1 of the Fraud Act 2006, complain bitterly to the registry as they are meant to have checks (sigh)

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

its a hell of a lot of bedtime reading blondbomb but well worth it.

 

Thanks for all the advice...I have actually been following this post avidly, especially over the last few days (sending me dizzy, is an understatement).

 

I did actually ask the member of staff when I went into sign for the loan, if interest was payable on the acceptance fee and was told it wasn't and it was shown seperately on my agreement to look as if it wasn't. It was only when I received my statment of price, that showed interest was definitely added.

 

I have also noticed that Prudent's agreement is exactly the same as mine, however, he/she has been told by Welcome that interest is NOT charged on the acceptance fee.

 

Seems strange that we are both told different things!!

My branch must have missed that training session! First loan signed off trade with independent witness, 7 day cooling off period only. Second loan (rewrite to 'reduce payments' ahem :roll:) signed on trade, no cooling off period as a matter of 'urgency' to stop court action and repossession (oh how naive i was, oh my) said I didn't need independent witness again as loan was rewrite and they would complete and send docs....oh and then they forged the original witness signature and details from first loan...hmmmm, I queried, they said it was a staff training issue...and again I reiterate, they missed that training session, or did they?

 

Gloucs87 I appreciate that you are young and had a terrible time and you are angry, but maybe refrain from mentioning death certificates and possible causes of suicide. I personally found it upsetting, for you if you feel that to be true and for anyone on this forum who may or may not have had experience of the depths of despair that issues like this caused by companies like welcome can cause. I think that if this truly is your experience at 21, having worked for them most of your young adult life, then they are more deplorable, you've obviously matured and have knowledge beyond your years and if you do help people here I hope this unburdens you. Simply present the facts, we all know they speak for themselves and Welcome document their facts well in my experience, but like Batfink they do not have wings of steel as they may think...

 

Thank you for your understanding - I will ensure I do everything I can to help on this forum and will ensure clear facts are presented. It is very difficult to remain emotionless when I know the dispair that has been caused by welcome. However, onwards and upwards, as I say I will do what I can. The above about secured loan is completely out of policy. If you read or can read the HR policy - it stipulates 14 day cooling off only when ROT is recieved back from the CPU ROT team. No documents to be signed off trade. I have once been told to get a rewrite signed a customers place of work at 8.15pm whilst they are on a cigarette break.....

No, unfortunatley I rec'vd a letter lastnight adv that I owe Welcome money and that I have to pay or be sent direct to the lewis group, I have spent most of lastnight and this morning checking if they are allowed to do so... apologies. Also in ref to the handbook - I have an employees handbook and not the HR one which is the rules and regs etc of what wfs are allowed to do. I will not be able to get a copy of this. I apologise.

 

forgive me but HR booklet would be about what welcome can do to your ect that is what Human Resources are all about the people that work for their company. Employee booklet would be what you as an employee can do surely??

Ok forgive me if you think i'm being disrespectful - I'm not meaning to be but so far we have not seen the proof you said you had.

 

So forgive the suspicions - unfortunately they will continue until we see what you said you had.
