    • I used to post regularly in order to provide factual information (rather than advice) but got fed up with banging my head against a brick wall in so many cases when posters insisted black was white and I was writing rubbish. I have never posted anything which was untrue or indeed biased in any way.  I have never given 'advice' but have sought to correct erroneous statements which were unhelpful. The only username I have ever used is blf1uk. I have never gone under any other username and have no connection to 'bailiff advice'.  I am not a High Court Enforcement Officer but obtained my first 'bailiff' certificate in 1982. I'm not sure what records you have accessed but I was certainly not born in 1977 - at that time I was serving in the Armed Forces in Hereford, Germany (4th Division HQ) and my wife gave birth to our eldest.   Going back to the original point, the fact is that employees of an Approved Enforcement Agency contracted by the Ministry of Justice can and do execute warrants of arrest (with and without bail), warrants of detention and warrants of commitment. In many cases, the employee is also an enforcement agent [but not acting as one]. Here is a fact.  I recently submitted an FOI request to HMCTS and they advised me (for example) that in 2022/23 Jacobs (the AEA for Wales) was issued with 4,750 financial arrest warrants (without bail) and 473 'breach' warrants.  A breach warrant is a community penalty breach warrant (CPBW) whereby the defendant has breached the terms of either their release from prison or the terms of an order [such as community service].  While the defendant may pay the sum [fine] due to avoid arrest on a financial arrest warrant, a breach warrant always results in their transportation to either a police station [for holding] or directly to the magistrates' court to go before the bench as is the case on financial arrest warrants without bail when they don't pay.  Wales has the lowest number of arrest warrants issued of the seven regions with South East exceeding 50,000.  Overall, the figure for arrest warrants issued to the three AEAs exceeds 200,000.  Many of these were previously dealt with directly by HMCTS using their employed Civilian Enforcement Officers but they were subject to TUPE in 2019 and either left the service or transferred to the three AEAs. In England, a local authority may take committal proceedings against an individual who has not paid their council tax and the court will issue a committal summons.  If the person does not attend the committal hearing, the court will issue a warrant of arrest usually with bail but occasionally without bail (certainly without bail if when bailed on their own recognizance the defendant still fails to appear).   A warrant of arrest to bring the debtor before the court is issued under regulation 48(5) of The Council Tax (Administration and Enforcement) Regulations 1992 and can be executed by "any person to whom it is directed or by any constable....." (Reg 48(6).  These, although much [much] lower in number compared to HMCTS, are also dealt with by the enforcement agencies contracted by the local authorities. Feel free to do your own research using FOI enquiries!  
    • 3rd one seems the best option, let 'em default, don't pay a penny, nothing will happen, forget about all of this. As for Payplan don't touch them with a bargepole, nothing they can do that you can't, and they will pocket fees. A do it yourself DMP is pointless as it will just string out the statute barred date to infinity.

    • 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.

My advice - get your claim in ASAP - once it's in the system thats fine - but if we pull this off there will be a stampede and you don't wanna get caught in that :)

 

Is that a court claim Andie or submitting a complaint to the FOS ?? :)

Forsure

I find it hard to belive that you actually have a needs and demands statement, it should be framed

let em know if they ahve changed much please

 

 

looks just like the usual welcome garbage, stil very similar. The ppi section is absolute garbage as for it to be fit for purpose they need to determine if you have any pre-existing conditions. If you have then its a mis-sell.

i wondered that myself but then it does state:

 

"You are aware that you will not be able to claim for anything you already know about (such as a medical condition), or which is caused by illegal or deliberate acts on your part."

 

so they could use that to say it was already explained even though we deemed the policy suitable otherwise... but yeah no health check or anything on it just tick here. my OH said he was never told about the exclusions but how can he prove it?

This is one of the reasons that ppi has become such an issue. When you are sold any policy it should be determined at the point of sale as to whether you have a pre-existing condition and that should be done through a form of questions and answers and stored by recordable medium; If you have then the policy is not suibtable. To say that it wont cover you for any pre-exsisting conditions is a complete joke...if you have a pre-exsisting condition then PPi should not be offered. Most financial institutions have stopped selling it now as they are now aware of the amount of s##t that is going to hit the fan and the amount of money that will have to be paid back. Its through sites like this that people are aware of how much they have been fleeced and are fighting back against mis-sells.

to be honest the PPI is an issue for us but we have multiplying loans that have become a bigger issue, but I am trying to find out what I can on both fronts so that when it gets to the point of getting down to business (i.e after the SAR and CCA arrive) then I know roughly what I am up to and can ask everyone on here for help......again...

 

waiting sucks

i sent my subject access request and CCA request in march and nothing has materialised, i have even spoken to them on the phone and asked for them to be sent to me. The trouble with welcome is that the staff are that dense and poor at there jobs that they probrably just bin the requests when they land on there desk and to be honest because they are on borrowed time they couldnt care less anyway. I know its a long thread but you should try and read it from start to finish, by the time you have finished reading it the SAR and CCA may have arrived... LOL. There is some great advice especially from post and andie and when your documents arrive you will know exactly what you ar looking for.

I have already read this thread...so much going on i lost track at times, I think just to know they have recieved the letters requesting the CCA SAR is enough for me for now, because it means I can start putting the account into dispute....is that after the 12+2 or as soon as its delivered?

 

it took me 3 days to read the thread when it was only 201 pages long, but it moves fast so have to catch up each day...you lose links and all sorts on here that you know would help...no wonder i am confused

The thread is brilliant but it does from one subject to another very quickly and its sometimes hard to keep up. Its 12 + 2 before you can put the account in dispute. Good luck.

thank you Andie,

 

to be honest I know as soon as we get the agreement that we have requested it will go into dispute because he has not re-written a loan since sept 2005, possibly inadvertantly in early 2006 when he was signed off sick, but as previously stated it was not an agreement sheet as shown in my previous thread and we had no copy sent so I think the whole thing is questionable.

we are still paying via DMP and will continue to do so until we either do or don't get the proper paper work. Then I will need as much help as possible to get things moving, I have been advised (by the DMP)to start drafting a letter to the financial ombudsman so any helpful hints and tips would be great.

 

things like what and and how to write them would be great and anyhting else you think I might need

Hi

my son has an original agreement with ppi added, a needs and demands statement, with no to ppi ticked, and yes to shortfall extra, he has a statement of price with details of shortfall extra, he has a policy schedule, original, underwritten by nu insur ltd and nu life and pensions ltd. it says both these are authorised and regulated by the financial services authority, and nu life and pensions has agreed that nu ins ltd may administer this on its behalf.

it also says if you have a complaint about a claim please write to direct group. Under this it says, if you remain unhappy [ha!]with decision from dg you may write to the chief executive at nu, po box 6, surrey street, norwich nr1 3ns. if still not happy refer the matter to fos.

He phoned nu to ask if they had a policy in his name, they said they cant help and gave phone number, he rang and asked for copy of policy. They sent him copy from direct, doncaster... hmm.

original

ppi --/05/2007 48 months

monthly repayment £148

copy!

ppi --/12/2007 36 months

personal accident --/12/2007 36 months

term life[life care 24] --12/2007 60 months

monthly repayment £119

same policy number on both

went with son to cab and showed woman, who asked what was wrong with it, we pointed things out and she then said what do you want, i dont understand, she then went to ask, came back and said take them to welcome office show them, let them copy them if they want but dont let them out of you sight, if you get no joy with them phone trading stand.

we didnt go show them welcome, just went home and phoned TS. They seemed interested when they found out agreement wasnt dated, said someone would phone back, they did, and said they would send for copies of our papers. not heard anything since. that was weeks ago, my son cant see much point if thats anything to go by, but i cant seem to let go, same with this thread. Dont want to tell wf anything coz they obviously create things, so how can i carry on. Oh! btw, my son has not paid anything since he came out of work last year, he phoned to reduce payments but he didnt go in when asked, so just ignored them ever since, phone calls everything. one man came to my house and told me that son was a lot behind on his payments for car and even told how much, said they needed money straight away, i paid them 1 month [i KNOW!], Then told where son had moved and ignored them also. they never went to sons just carried on phoning my house, even though i told them he didnt live here anymore. eventually they stopped.

hi bogeyed,

 

you need to take them to financial ombudsman, they broke data protection act by disclosing information about his account to you. Did you send an official SAR letter to welcome or just a verbal request for the account details? and how long were each of the loan agreements for?

Link to post

Hi Bogeyed - the first thing I will say is if you approach Welcome with regards to this they will start wanting repayment so be aware this WILL happen.

 

If you are ok with this the best course of action is first to write to Welcome asking for a refund of PPI that was declined on the paperwork yet you have now discovered has been charged - don't send them ANYTHING with your sons signature on - that includes a copy of the original paperwork - after all Welcome should have their own copy to refer to!!!

 

Anyway you need to demand full refund of premiums paid + interest AND COMPENSATION and that the agreement be returned to the state it should have been if the PPI had never been added.

 

The financial ombudsman service can get involved after the company has either given you a final response or 8 weeks has elapsed - whichever is sooner!!

 

Be prepared for Welcome to stall you or even ignore you all together - make sure everything is sent recorded delivery and keep the receipts to prove it.
