    • love the extra £1000 charge for confidentialy there BF   Also OP even if they don't offer OOC it doesn't mean your claim isn't good. I had 3 against EVRi that were heard over the last 3 weeks. They sent me emails asking me to discontinue as I wouldn't win. Went infront of a judge and won all 3.    Just remember the law is on your side. The judges will be aware of this.   Where you can its important to try to point out at the hearing the specific part of the contract they breached. I found this was very helpful and the Judge made reference to it when they gave their judgements and it seemed this was pretty important as once you have identified a specific breach the matter turns straight to liability. From there its a case of pointing out the unlawfullness of their insurance and then that should be it.
    • I know dx and thanks again for yours and others help. I was 99.999% certain last payment was over six years ago if not longer.  👍
    • Paragraph 23 – "standard industry practice" – put this in bold type. They are stupid to rely on this and we might as well carry on emphasising how stupid they are. I wonder why they could even have begun to think some kind of compelling argument – "the other boys do it so I do it as well…" Same with paragraph 26   Paragraph 45 – The Defendants have so far been unable to produce any judgements at any level which disagree with the three judgements…  …court, but I would respectfully request…   Just the few amendments above – and I think it's fine. I think you should stick to the format that you are using. This has been used lots of times and has even been applauded by judges for being meticulous and clear. You aren't a professional. Nobody is expecting professional standards and although it's important that you understand exactly what you are doing – you don't really want to come over to the judge that you have done this kind of thing before. As a litigant in person you get a certain licence/leeway from judges and that is helpful to you – especially if you are facing a professional advocate. The way this is laid out is far clearer than the mess that you will get from EVRi. Quite frankly they undermine their own credibility by trying to say that they should win simply because it is "standard industry practice". It wouldn't at all surprise me if EVRi make you a last moment offer of the entire value of your claim partly to avoid judgement and also partly to avoid the embarrassment of having this kind of rubbish exposed in court. If they do happen to do that, then you should make sure that they pay everything. If they suddenly make you an out-of-court offer and this means that they are worried that they are going to lose and so you must make sure that you get every penny – interest, costs – everything you claimed. Finally, if they do make you an out-of-court offer they will try to sign you up to a confidentiality agreement. The answer to that is absolutely – No. It's not part of the claim and if they want to settle then they settle the claim as it stands and don't try add anything on. If they want confidentiality then that will cost an extra £1000. If they don't like it then they can go do the other thing. Once you have made the amendments suggested above – it should be the final version. court,. I don't think we are going to make any more changes. Your next job good to make sure that you are completely familiar with it all. That you understand the arguments. Have you made a court familiarisation visit?
    • just type no need to keep hitting quote... as has already been said, they use their own criteria. if a person is not stated as linked to you on your file then no cant hurt you. not all creditors use every CRA provider, there are only 3 main credit file providers mind, the rest are just 3rd party data sharers. if you already have revolving credit on your file there is no need to apply for anything just 'because' you need to show you can handle money. if you have bank account(s) and a mortgage which you are servicing (paying) then nothing more can improve your score, despite what these 'scam' sites claiml  its all a CON!!

    • 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.

Hello all just to get something out of my head and onto the page so to speak.

I have been thinking following some shal we say unforseen decisions in our courts, do judges have to disclose thier interests such as investments etc. and dont they have a duty to withdraw from any cases where they could possibly have an interest, not suggesting for a minute that there has been any wrong doing in any case mentioned in any of the forums but just a question that has been occupying my empty head for a while.

The other day on GMTV an adviser on loan agreements said that very few agreements are actually unenforcible even though there are mistakes etc. He said the courts would enforce 99% of so called unenforcible agreements, I took this to mean even those with prescibed terms missing. He was commenting on the growth of those companies that profess to get the debt cleared for an up front payment. I am wondering how this leaves all of us, this news was quite depressing. What actually is the real reality I wonder?

I too read this somewhere that people are being mis informed by these companies or hearing a snippet of something and misinterpreting the cca and putting accounts into dispute etc and not actually getting anywhere :( and that far too many ppl are using the cca request against companies to put their accounts into dispute for no 'proper' reason

We must also remember that for all of this negativity that there is still a perfectly valid route to take in the event that a creditor does not comply. It is not the case that a stranger can issue in the court against you for £10,000 and produce a bus ticket with a Mr. Man picture on it to win the claim.

 

Granted, the rights of the creditors have been strengthened to some extent which I personally feel is bordering on fraud and a complete bypass of 'fair play' but that's banking and finance for you. As the great British public are happy to do no more than winge at each other whilst handing their earnings over at the same time every month we'll all just have to accept it.

 

The Waksman result was far from terminal and we must also remember the claimant was the individual and that the burden of proof was effectively reversed. Also, if a creditor produces a reconstituted agreement there is a whole avenue of inquiry open to you in order to assess that this piece of paper is in fact a true copy. Let's face it, if the original has gone you need to do quite a bit to prove that what you are now presenting is in fact a true copy of something that can no longer be checked.

 

There is a lot of propoganda at the moment, I'd advise a cautious approach and to sit back and wait for the new lines of attack to surface. It will happen I'm sure, it is early days though.

That sums up where we stand at this time as customers/ victims very well. Each case has you so rightly say, will be assessed on it`s own merits. And some of these Agreements are as good has a Bus Ticket.

 

I also think it is a Positive in many ways that people are " Jumping on the Bandwagon ". That says to me that " The Great British Public " are Waking up to what THEIR RIGHTS are.

Hi everyone,

 

Sorry to be a messenger of doom but I have seen various people on here saying that they are going to do this and do that with Welcome Finance.

 

i.e the Fraud Squad, the Inland Revenue, the National Press, Television or whatever.

 

Unfortunately whether any of us like it or not, we are indebted to these people as we borrowed money from them and despite some of their practices, a debt is a debt.

 

Becoming a Bankrupt or taking out a Debt Relief Order is the only way to shake these people off.

 

I have been honest and up front with Welcome and they have frozen all my interest and other charges and I am paying them a very reduced amount which they have accepted.

Really?? What sort of finance do u have with them? ie Car, Secured etc.

 

how much do u owe and how much did you and do you now pay a month?

 

sorry for the questions, but really interested in this and would like to see if you in a similar postion to me as i would be interested in arranging this if at all possible as I am a stone with little blood too.

Voda, you was the one that was shoting the loudest about going to watchdog here . and you also contacted Dom Littlewood here .

Here you also wanted welcome employees to PM you so you could meet with them . . .

 

Point I am making is that in your words they have made you ill and put you through all kinds of crap, just reading your posts I can tell what you have been through so I am sure you can understand everyones frustrations and motive to fight back.

Well said OZZY. Sorry Voda but, yes you have done well for your self arranging these things with the ****. And I`m sure we all wish you the best of luck.

 

You are also quite right you can NOT get blood out of a stone. I believe most people who have a gripe with Welscum would and have been trying to pay what they owe. It is obvious though, not everybody has been afforded the same level of understanding which you have been very fortunate to receive.

 

Let`s face it if they were honest and up front in their dealings from the beginning, and fair in their approach to ALL who are having difficulties then their would be no need for these kind of forums.

 

They do not play the game by the set down rules. At least everyone of us is doing that. They deserve everything they get, or don`t get because of this attitude of being above the LAW.

 

Cheers, MARK

Please please please, do not look from the doom and gloom point of view, see the above thread, the case above would have been declared "enforceable" by many on this forum, we took it to trial, won and recovered our costs in doing so.

 

Welcome are notorious at making errors, we have hundreds of cases on the go against this type of lender and we have yet to lose a case where we have gone to trial against them. I accept that you are reliant on the docs givng you the ammo and sometimes there is no unenforceability but the fact remains that 9 times outtta 10 its in our favor not the lenders

Hi everyone,

 

Thank you for your posts.

 

Yes I tried the media but nobody replied to me.

 

I fully accept that there are others on here that have been dealt with very badly by this company so I suppose that I have been fortunate.

 

I suppose that I have got to an age when the fight has left me now.

 

Gram 1, my loan was simply a Personal Loan.

 

It's not a secured loan or for a car.

 

Let's just say that I am now only paying around 10% of the original monthly amount and it will take years to pay off the loan.

 

WF would rather have some money than none at all so after providing them with my monthly income and expenditure that was endorsed by the Debt charity CCCS, they had no option but to accept the figure that I could afford each month.

 

Good luck with everything.

Hi,

 

Yes they have frozen the interest and other charges.

 

I recently received a statement from them and there are no charges anymore.

 

They have not actually said that this freezing is for the lifetime of the loan.

 

I suggest that the best way to deal with WF is to talk to them like I have done.

 

Voda

 

Are you absolutely certain that they have frozen the interest and charges? Welcome wouldn't be Welcome without some [problem] or other. If they have frozen the interest and charges, have they agreed to do so for the lifetime of the loan?

Good luck to you if they have done this but I'd be sceptical of it lasting for the lifetime of the loan. And then where will your reduced payment get you once they re-apply interest and charges every month?

 

If you can get the balance down quickly whilst it's sans interest then fair enough but I've had 8 years of dealings with Welcome and if they told me it was Wednesday, I'd buy a newspaper to make sure.

 

I hope you got everything in writing.

Totally with you Ted, before I sent one letter I tried in vain for 5 months to discuss and resolve by talking to them . . only with shear desperation I wrote a letter and did my homework to realize there was far more wrong than my orriginal "small" query.

Hi Voda

 

I appreciate how stressed and despondent Welcome situations can make you feel but I urge that you keep a very close eye on your accounts and credit records. In my personal experience Welcome agreed to "freeze charges/interest" in my situation, only for me to then be defaulted behind the scenes and extra charges added to compensate the interest they froze. Bear in mind that they are under immense scrutiny at the moment and need to be seen to be playing by the rules, indeed they may become lawful and reasonable in their actions if they survive as a company? Who knows? But many people are, as has been said on this forum, not treated as fairly. I would be having a cautionary attitude and microscopic eye on your account, if you don't already have it, get it in writing the term the interest will be held and how much will be applied when that is up, and perhaps be prepared for harassment again for increasing payments after a period of time. I do wish you all the best and glad it has been resolved somewhat for you.

 

am :)
