[Jimbocrackers]

Can anyone help me on this one?

 

When i took out a car finance agreement with Welcome in April this year i was asked how much i could afford each month on the repayments, i said £200-£220 a month, but when they tagged on the insurance it went upto £320, i struggled for the 1st few months, then read the policy and found out i could cancel at anytime. So i wrote to them in October and tried to cancel, each time i contact them they say they didnt get the letter, even though copies were hand delivered by me to the local branch !

 

I am constantly in arrears with them as i cant afford the extra £100 each month, they add on £10 for phone calls and £25 for knocking on your door.

 

I have repaeted asked them to cancel it, and requested a copy of all my payments made, but i get nothing from them at all, just phone calls every few weeks demanding payment.

 

I have not paid them now for 2 months and they are saying they are coming to get the car, what should i do ??

[buffyoo7]

sorry i cant help much but if you start your own thread someone will come a long soon who can help you buffy x

[itsmeandonlyme]

Jim, i would need you to email me or post here a copy of the agreement..Let me see it..and that we could find out if it's properly executed( or not) and inforceble( or not)...

 

I do not mind you posting here...as you need some help and i am more than happy to help you..

Hi, i actually worked for welcome finance, i know all about there tactics in confusing customers in the misselling of insurances. I am also involved in a judicial process against Welcome in which, amongst other complaints, i am alleging that Welcome deliberately tricks its employees to missell their insurance products and in turn to trick their customers. Iwould be interested in cooperating with anybody else who has a story about them or is interested in taking action against them.

Hatoreff, I have sent you a private message to your inbox can you please read and reply any help of advise will be appreciated.

Thanks

try this, there are regs about what they can take back and when, have a read through the other WF threads as others have been in this situation.

Payment protection | Were you mis-sold PPI? | Were you mis-sold PPI?

 

also sounds like you did not have PPI (your insurance they tacked on, explained to you so may be unlawful and you could get it back:)

[maybelline]

keep records of everything you send or give to them, keep a spreadsheet or record of some kind of all your payments, pay them what you can afford, do what a Judge will consider correct and reasonable given your circumstances!

[Gens]

Good luck to all of you on your claims. I also have some PPI issues with Welcome and incorrectly filled out documents. I have started my own thread if anyone would like to take a look and/or help me out.

 

I have just been looking through some of the forms i filled out. One of which is a Welcome finance Demands and needs Statement. This is the form they fill out when bumping up your premeums...erm i mean asessing you for their extras. The first sentance states that The Customer (me) has confirmed that they are aged over 18 years and under 65 etc ect. this is all fine and the document is signed by myself and the salesman on behalf of Welcome. It has been dated by both myself and the salesman 13/01/1971. Now my maths are not great but im pretty sure that was the year I was born!! My statement of price is also dated the same. Also the description of part exchanged vehicle is incorrect, listing my old car as a ford Sierra, when in fact it was a ford Mondeo!

I'm about to get an apointment with welcome re lowering my monthly payments as although up to date with no charges so far with prices incresing its getting more difficult. I don't have the dreaded PPi but they said to lower payments I might have to and sign a new contract. they did say the APR would be lower though but I'm worried now and wondering maybe I should just leaave it as it is.

[maybelline]

IMO do not sign a new agreement as it will cost you a lot more in the end, think about it, the way they will reduce your payments is to put it over a longer period of time and this will be more interest, so they will try to make it sound like they are doing you a favour but it is for them to get more money, I would be very surprised if they do not add on a charge for this, also, your current agreement may not be enforceable anyway?

[Miss Disgraced]

Hello I too was missold expensive PPI's which come to £3,000.00 on a loan of £3,000.00! I have written to Welcome twice and faxed letter twice which they say they didnt receive. So I sent a letter by Recorded and phoned them to make sure they had received it. I then phoned back a month later and spoke to a Heidi who told me that they had cancelled the insurances but I would still make the same repayments but over a reduced term. I rang back this morning and spoke to another lady (Emma) and was told that she would check out why I hadnt received a letter in writing to that effect she mentioned their computer systems had changed over. I rang again an hour later as I hadnt heard back and spoke to a Kevin who said Emma was out all week when I said that was odd as I had just spoke to her an hour earlier he became defensive. ANyway the long and short of it is he gave me different advise from Heidi and said "No we will cancel the insurances but we have to recalculate your loan". I now have an appointment with them to do this next week I feel they have completely ripped me off:(

[Ladidi]

One valuable lesson I have learned form dealing with WF..Is NEVER to do business with them again no matter what is needed at the time...

 

They are on the same morrals of a back street loan shark only with a legal peice of paper that says "Hi, we are reputable"..I say my a** is more reputable than they will ever be..

[maybelline]

I dont think you need an appointment to cancel PPI?

[Miss Disgraced]

Absolutely I wouldnt touch them with a barge pole! however I need to cancel these insurances and they have led me to believe I have to go over the loan agreement and re-write the agreement? I took another loan out with them for a car I have approximately 16 payments left on that also another con but you live and learn

Hi All Hope you are all well long time no posts!! Well anyway i thought id give you a quick update with welcome and beg some advice?

 

They have given me a call today and after a lengthy conversation they have offered the following: my account balance is currently at £6687 they have offered to wipe off the arrears, refund the ppi and repays the fees they have added to the account.

 

These are my options: to get my brother to sign another credit agreement and to pay a lower amount, and i only pay 3500 and the rest is wiped off

This is called modifying my acct.

 

or

they refund the ppi and the charges separately and i will only have 2000 wiped off.

Said she will call back on monday but she would be sending a new credit agreement with the full amount outstanding yet she said she would put notes on the system stating the agreement????

 

sounds abit dodgy eh then she told me if i didnt take one of these the it would go to court attachment of earnings etc.. i am now puzzled:confused:
