    • what solicitor is the PAPLOC from? then just search xxxx snotty letter dx  
    • moved to the debt self help forum. plenty of like threads here to read along with the ones you've done so far..good work. last thing you ever want to do is look at any kind of IVO/BK or anything alike concerning consumer debt, never do that, turns unsecured debts into secured ones in many instances. your best bet for now is p'haps looks at  Options for dealing with your debts: Breathing Space (Debt Respite Scheme) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) sadly you have to go thru one of the free debt charities to invoke that but DON'T be tempted to also open up a DMP with them, just get the Breathing Space done. get that in place that gives you at leasy 60 days buffer you've also goto to realise you'll probably get a default once breathing space is in place, bit if not it might pay you to withhold payments even after BS then p'haps re start payments once a DN for each debt is issued and registered. at least that way, whatever happens in 6yrs the debt will drop off dx  
    • Hello, I am a private seller and recently sold a pair of trainers on eBay.  Everything seemed fine until just after the eBay 30 day mbg had expired.  The buyer contacted me with photos showing me that both shoes had ripped.  He wanted his money back, and after refusing to refund him, he then left me retaliatory and defamatory feedback on my profile to the effect that I had sold him fake trainers (this was removed by eBay).  He then initiated a chargeback via Paypal.  Invariably, the outcome was in his favour, and I have now been charged for the cost of the trainers.  I would have also been stung for the chargeback fee, but eBay refunded this.  Incidentally, I do have the email receipt of the trainers from when I bought them from a well-established and bona fide online retailer.  The susbequent conversation with eBay followed its predictable course, i.e. the chargeback is out of their hands etc. I have been in contact with citizens advice, and my bank.  Citizens advice told me that as a private seller I'm responsible for the "Title and description" of the goods, but not the performance, or the fitness for purpose.  To me it is clear; if you receive something that's not as described, you don't then use the goods, and more than 30 days later claim 'not as described'.  In my mind, this makes the claim fraudulent.  He's used the 'they're fake' card to give credence to a 'not as described' claim here, obviously, without any evidence.  My understanding is that the chargeback is unlawful, because the trainers were shipped as described.  However, I read something on an eBay forum regarding sellers having no statutory rights, i.e. no right to appeal against a chargeback decision, or to complain to the financial ombudsman.  Does this mean that if my bank disputes the charge on my behalf, it will be to no avail, even if it's recognisably a fraudulent chargeback?  I have reported it via the Actionfraud website. Any advice, anyone?  Would be most grateful!
    • Thank you, I have drafted my letters and started to complete the reply form, printed from this site and not using the one they provided.    2 questions, on the forum link it says to tick box D & I, the reason for box D will be given on my thread, what would my answer be to "I dispute the debt"?  Do I send anything for the Vodafone debt they have included?  I've only done 118 loan s. 77 & capital one credit cards so. 78    Thank you

    • 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.

Just looked and WFS plus another Welfan-Charlie1 seem to have been very quiet recently-wonder why?!!!! Wish i could know how they feel a year later. I also laughed at WFS comment about how great it was that a director was in charge of compliance-i maybe wrong but isn't he one of the ones under investigation!!!!:)

 

Oh and his confidence because of recruitment drive!!!

hmm wonder where that deluded little idiot is now, what a difference a year makes!!

 

The thing that me laugh the most was the spelling of insurances, he spells it insurences!! you would think that working with insurance on a daily basis he would no how to spell the bleeding word:lol:

 

As for his comments about unemployed people, I wonder if he is "one of us ****" now!!

 

If he was that happy why bother posting at all?? nice of him to admit that welcome staff are encouraged to sell PPI knowing its wrong for 99% of people. I was told by a car showroom person that I had to take out the insurances & they didnt do a statement of means check on me!

 

still lets get back to those FOS letters now must get my claim in soon.

Oh they're very careful not to missell...since June they've got all new employees on a 6 weeks compliance camp...we're FSA water-tight right now.

 

Some VERY intelligent people run this gaff, and they stick to the very letter of the law. One of the directors is responsible for compliance, and they monitor us like hawks for the slightest chance that we missell.

 

It's a very clever script.

 

I sleep very well at night on that basis. Remember, we only quote. The punters accept those quotes by their own free wills often signing credit agreements with clearly stated 80% aprs, and PPI's worth half of the loan amount itself. Bonkers? I'd say so....but there's the freewheeling "gimme now" society for you, coupled with the objection handling skills of salespeople. Tis merely a sad reflection of our sick credit obsessed society. Still we all have mouths to feed eh?

Hi, just wondering how I can scan and post a copy of my contract, also who can have a look at it. I have to go the office tomrw to pay as prob with direct debit, I told them I was having trouble paying and he said he can rewrite the amount & cut the interest, does this sound right or is there another option ?

Firstly, WHATEVER YOU DO, DONT SIGN ANOTHER AGREEMENT. They wont be looking after your interests, just their own.

 

If you have a copy of your current contract and can get hold of a scanner then scan it in and use a photobucket (google it) to post on here. Failing that you may be able to take a photo with a digital camera in macro mode.

 

Theres plenty of people who will help you every step of the way. It may be better to start your own thread though (go here Welcome Finance - The Consumer Forums and scroll to the "new thread" button at the bottom)

 

Finally, you can pay online if you dont want to see anybody face to face.

Fraggle

 

DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING......they are probably saying this because there may be a problem with the existing agreement...do not let them preasure you into signing anything...make your payment ...get receipt and leave!!! if they give you anything do not sign take it home and read it!!!!!

Zarrah - I find your comment insulting!!!

:mad:

 

To imply that a welcome employee has the intelligence and skills to go from working at welcome to flipping burgers is an insult to all those good people out there who make sure we dont go hungry when we are in a rush/forgot our lunch/travelling etc I think you owe them an apology :razz:

hi im new to this site and im just wondering if anyone agrees we have a case, so here goes. my husband took out a secured loan of £10.000 to be repayed over a 15 year period from welcome finance in november 2008 we beleive he was mis-sold ppi due to the fact that he was not told the insurance was optional and was led to beleive that his application for credit would be rejected if he didnt take out the insurance, the policy exclusions were not explained to him either before or at any time he took out the insurance and was therefore not able to make an informed dicision as wether this insurance was appropriate for him. it was not explained to him that the policy premium would be paid upfront as a single premium and would be added to his dept and attract intrest. his insurance agreement expires after 60 months but the loan agreement is for 180 months which means he will be paying intrest on a policy which is no longer in force. this was not made clear to him at the time the policy was sold to him. the insurance was unsuitable for him as he was and still is selfemployed at the time he was sold the policy and was not made aware of the specific exclusions to selfemployment cover. the start amount of the loan was £13210.87 my husband pays £284.17 a month they add between £285 and £332 in capitalisation each month there fore after 12 month he now owes £13902.34 its going up not down, and i would like to know how they justify £10 for a phone call and charge £10 to send a full statement, they are rip off murchants that frive off vunrable people.

i payed £10 to have a copy of the original agreement and when it arrived the ink was smeared all over so that it was unreadable anyway.

hi gpm0708 - I was joking with Zarrah, hence the stick out tongue at the end of my speech :p

 

She implied you can go from working in welcome to flipping burgers, I said its an insult to burger flippers:) welcome employees dont have the brains or the skill to flip burgers :D I thought it was quite amusing what I wrote but now I have had to explain it its not funny :-( (I try my hardest but it seems I am no lee evans)

 

The guy on pg4 just summerises the whole essence of a welcome employee doesnt he? Rude, arrogant , obnoxious , belittling idiots.

 

What makes things funny is that he stuck up for welcome back then and when welcome got into trouble he was probably one of the first out the door and he has probably found himself in the exact same position as all of us. It wouldnt surprise me if he has reregistered on CAG under a different name and is getting help with his own debts

info taken from OC&C Credit Management and Debt Collection Index news

 

The Lewis Group, another debt buyer, came third in the index from thirteenth last year – praised for its range of techniques and size as well as top line growth. Parent company Cattles may have struggled but this means it is less likely to be dependent on the parent, said OC&C.

thanks for the number, will add to my list.

yes, we got a snotty call from cambridge today who said that compliance told them my complaint wasn't a complaint and not to treat it as a complaint, even though FOS say it is a complaint! Got all this in print from a telephone log too, not the first time gone through this!

Confused me even typing that so god knows how they work it out.

i payed £10 to have a copy of the original agreement and when it arrived the ink was smeared all over so that it was unreadable anyway.

ive been on the phone today to direct group insurance to ask what insurances where paid upfront, or how much money is being paidin monthly instalments, we were told

home care £145 paid upfront

lifecare £215 paid upfront

personal protection insurance £2615.87 NOT paid upfront

we were told they recieve £44 permonth for the ppi from welcome.

according to welcomes statements they paid ALL the policys upfront and added it to our loan amount, so they are making intrest on something that they have LIED about cause its not been paid upfront at all.

so in theory if we were to go and pay welcome off tommorrow we would end up paying an extra £2615.87 {plus intrest} that we didnt really borrow.

can anyone advise us were we stand on this pppllleeaasssee
