    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the 02/01/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the 19/05/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, 02/06/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

    • 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.

I initially sent off a standard letter to HSBC explaining that I wanted to make a complaint about the misspelling of PPI on my loan and I got a letter back with the PPI reference numbers of two loans (I thought I only had one loan with them but then remembered that I have taken one out previously, paid that off then got another one) with a questionnaire.

 

I completed the questionnaire to the best of my ability as I hardly have any information of the loans now and I also mentioned that I have a credit card with them although I don't know the PPI reference number to that. A few days ago I got this response (in summary) ......having taken the opportunity to review the records we hold in relation to this matter, unfortunately I am unable to support your complaint.

 

Our records show that in xxxxxxx you applied for an unsecured Personal Loan. The monthly payments included an optional Personal Loan Protection plan which is designed to repay your monthly loan repayments in the event of sickness, accident or redundancy.

 

It goes on to say that I received a product information pack which confirmed that the plan was optional and I had a period of 30 day in which I could have cancelled so they believe that adequate steps had been taken to make me aware of the PPI on my loan. In regards to the second loan.....while I do not agree with the points you made and will not be upholding your complaint, I am conscious that the premiums you paid totals £342.32........

 

I am prepared to offer to refund this premium as a gesture of goodwill.........as I am offering to refund the premium it is not my intention to respond specifically to the individual issues raised. Nothing was mentioned about my credit card but the last paragraph states that .......this is our final decision letter.

 

if you remain dissatisfied you have the right to refer this matter to the fos .Is it too late to do what I should have done first and request for a SAR? I am still none the wiser as to the details of the loans and when I actually took out the credit card which is more than ten years ago. Things are just quite tight and depressing at the moment but I have this sinking feeling that this is going to be a long drawn battle.

the reason I gave were that I don't remember it being explained to me at the time and also that I was a student at the time so not sure it was appropriate for me but the date given for when I took out the loan shows that I had already left full time education so I think I have made a serious mistake there

Not necessarily... you may have not had a job having just left education?

 

In any event, not being given all of the information to make an informed decision is a good pointer to a mis-sale.

 

In addition, the handbook published by the FSA (as it was) clearly states that simply giving people a 30 day cancellation period is not sufficient to cement a good sale.

 

This is from that handbook....

 

3.3.6 G The firm should not reject a complaint because the complainant failed to exercise

the right to cancel the policy.

 

Have a nose through Appendix 1 of the handbook which you can find in the PPI stickies. There will be some more useful information which you can use to challenge their decision.

 

When you write to them with your challenge tell them that of they do not refund all of your money and the appropriate interest you will be lodging a formal complaint with fos which will cost them another £850

thank you for this information but could you please help clarify a few things which I need to do. Should I still contact HSBC even though they have issued their final decision letter? Also, there was no mention of the credit card PPI, should I ask for details of this and deal with this separately? thank you for your prompt responses.

If it were me I would challenge the bank first. We have seen cases on here where they have changed their minds following people sticking to their guns. If they refuse to look at the matter again or indeed say that they are sticking by their decision then get the complaint in to fos.

 

The credit card PPI is technically a distinct claim from the loans and should be treated as a separate issue. Is their 8 weeks up for the investigation of the card PPI? If it is then you can go to fos or give the bank a stiff reminder reminder that they have failed under the time limits set by the regulator and that you demand a response in 7 days.

On the questionnaire sent to me by the bank.

 

I mentioned the two loans and the credit card reference numbers together, which was more than 8 weeks ago

but not clear whether the credit card was overlooked as there was no mention of it in their response.

 

However, I feel that I need to tread carefully considering I hardly have any documentary evidence to date as I currently have a DMP in place

which has been running since 2006.

 

Also the bank has only offered to refund the paid premium of one of the loans and not the other.

 

A lot of questions are going through my head and I do apologise for bombarding you with my numerous questions but before I go any further,

should I ask the bank for details of both loans and credit card details if necessary sending them a £10 fee?

 

Also as the loans and credit card are two different aspects will I have to send separate fees for these?

 

I am ever so grateful for your generous and quick advice to my thread. thank you

If you are sending a Subject Access Request and all the loans/credit cards are with the one Bank, then it is just the one £10.00 fee.

 

The more information you can give them the better, so if you have ALL the account numbers - supply them. However, they should be able to retrieve this data, with just your name and address or just one account number.

 

Don't be concerned about asking lots of questions.. best to be absolutely sure of what you are doing, before you do it :)

UPDATE ON SAR SENT TO HSBC

 

I recieved a phone call from HSBC confirming that they had recieved my SAR and wanted to know what I needed the information for.

 

I told them that I wanted to have some records of the accounts I held with them and more importantly when the accounts were opened (credit cards and loans)

 

the gentleman said that they could supply that information at no cost to me and that my postal order would be returned.

 

Two days ago I received a letter stating that they no longer had a copy of my signed agreement (credit card)

but they enclosed a copy of the terms and conditions of the card that I had taken out at the time

and on their letter it stated that the credit card was taken out in 1994.

 

I have kept the account up to date until 2006, when I had to go on a DMP due to personal reasons but this is still being paid.

 

I have not recieved the postal order neither have I received any details of the 2 loans that I took out.

 

What should I do now.

 

please help,

 

if there is any chance that I could claim something back then it will be worth chasing up or I should put it down to just my luck.

all you simply do is click on the link at the top of your alert emails to reply [yes you got it right]

 

you really should not be conversing on the phone

 

that's what causes these issues.

 

anyhow

 

still got his name and number?

 

you need to state quite clearly that an SAR is an official legal request

 

and must be complied with.

Got myself in a right mess now. Number given was a switchboard. When I finally got through,told that the letter sent had advised that they did not hold any info beyond 6 years. i told the man that I shouldnt have to explain myself to him but basiically, the SAR had requested for all documentations on the account not limited to a specific time period. He then said I should write in again explaining that the information sent was insufficient. Writing the letter now.
