    • Need to figure out why they've raised the CIFAS marker against you. Also need to raise a formal complaint with them because instead of helping you when you're in financial difficulty (which they're legally obligated to do) they've instead raised a fraud marker against you. Looking at the forum, there's another thread involving My Community Bank as of late where they've been difficult, refusing to stop interest etc. I wouldn't even bother paying them anything, personally.
    • My Civil MoneyClaim against P2G has now been issued and they are required to respond by 21 May (although they apparently request an extra 14 days.....)
    • What are they going to tell me different to what the Cifas people have told me?  Is it worth contacting them to tell them I'm struggling and hoping to set up a DMP soon? Or no? Just SAR?
    • SAR to My Community Bank now imo.  
    • Good evening all, I have had an email back from Cifas regarding my SAR. It turns out that there is a marker against me and it was made by MY COMMUNITY BANK for the £5,000. I took out, stating: "Misuse of facility – opening an account, insurance policy, or other facility for a fraudulent purpose or the fraudulent misuse of an account, policy, or facility; or the fraudulent misuse of insurance policy documentation" I did email them on 7th March and told them I was struggling and was taking out a DMP (which was the StepChange DMP) and asked them to confirm the direct debit was cancelled but they just emailed back saying "In order to change your direct debit details, you will need to contact our service team on 0800 289 120." So what do I do now? It looks like I'm pretty screwed.

    • 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.

Postggj, you obviously know a huge amount about Welcome. I have a car, via CarCraft/Ucan, including PPI and Gap. I'm paying it, have been since 12/07 although I am missing 3 payments. I love the car - want to keep it even though it's well over the odds price wise. Do you think it would be worth starting a thread with my Welcome agreement? Not that I'm looking to stop paying, but to see if there is a way of getting the payments down to a more manageable level (I pay £500/month)

cheers

T2

Thanks all for your replies. The loan I had originally with Welcome was an unsecured loan, it then progressed to a secured loan in the sum of £15,000. Does it make a difference if it is for a car or not?

unsecured to a secured loan, bad idea with welcome

 

did you sign a new agreement to begin with

how is it listed on your credit file

 

were you given 14 days to contemplate before signing for the loan,

 

important

 

when you signed the agreement how meny days was it before you received the cheque

An update to the PM I sent you Postggj;

2 more things: I don't know if this is relevant but I've just noticed my original agreement is signed by me but not signed or dated by welcome. Also, where it says the payments the weekly/monthly is not indicated

 

Also the Mechanical breakdows and PPI Demands and needs statements both have the wrong registration on them (the first letter is wrong)

Hi T2 have dropped a pm with some info that may be able to help you.

 

 

Thanks very much, dadofholly.

 

I tried to PM back but it keeps freezing.

Is this OK to discuss in open forum or is it a secret?

 

Really? Wow - well there is no mention of that anywhere in any of the paperwork, and I have everything from the day I bought the car.

 

I had heard something about that elsewhere, it's one of the things which got me interested (as well as their shoddy behaviour).

 

The thing that concerns me is, despite being in arrears, things are quiet. I don't really want to tip their hand so I am forced to pay the 2200 I owe - I don't have that kind of cash spare. Also, I want to keep the car, if the agreement is null and void does the car revert to them?

 

I'd love to know more though, 500/month is a lot of cash!

 

Thanks for the heads up!

Hi replied to your pm which idid receive.

 

You need to SAR ucan/carcraft... make sure you ask for details of any commission they were paid. Also SAR welcome.

 

Once you get info back can look at possible options then

OK, thanks, I'll SAR both tomorrow.

 

My concerns are that Welcome will see that as the beginning of a hostile action and fight back. I'm happy to enter the fight if necessary but with over £2000 arrears, which they are quiet about for now, I'm wondering if thats enough ammo for them to get nasty with...
