    • Paragraph 18 – you are still talking about Boston stolen items. About time this was fixed??? Paragraph 19  In any event, the claimant's PS5 gaming device was correctly declared and correctly valued. The defendant accepted it for carriage and was even prepared to earn extra money by selling sell insurance in case of its loss or damage. New paragraph 20 – this the defendant routinely sells insurance in respect of "no compensation" items (a secondary contract contrary to section 72 CRA 2015) new paragraph above paragraph 20 – the defendant purports to limit its liability in respect of lost or damaged items. This is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights act 2015. The defendant offers to extend their liability if their customer purchases an insurance cover for an extra sum of money. This insurance is a secondary contract calculated to exclude or limit their liability for the defendants contractual breaches and is contrary to section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015. New paragraph below paragraph 42 – the defendant merely relies on "standard industry practice" You haven't pointed to the place in your bundle of the Telegraph newspaper extract. You have to jiggle the paragraphs around. Even though I have suggested new paragraph numbers, the order I have suggested is on your existing version 5. You will have to work it out for your next version. Good luck!   Let's see version 6 Separately, would you be kind enough to send me an unredacted to me at our admin email address.
    • i think theres been MORE than amble evidence of that and am astonished that criminal proceedings haven't begun.
    • Yep, those 'requirements' not met to shareholders satisfaction seem to me to be: 1. Not being allowed to increase customer bills by 40% (of which well over 50% of the new total would NOT be investment) 2. 1 plus regulators not agreeing to letting them do 'things in their own time (ie carry on regardless)
    • As already mentioned freely available "credit scores" are fairly useless. All lenders have their own "credit scoring" system, that for obvious reasons they don't divulge. And they're "scored" differently to the freely available ones. As soon as they could, we've always encouraged our two children to use credit cards responsibly... Pay off in full, etc, to generate good history. It's paid off. At quite young ages, they have both obtained loans for cars, mortgage and their credit card limits are through the roof. Personally, I have shifted debt around a lot on credit cards (even financed a house purchase once at 0% 😉) and I've only ever been refused a credit card once, sorry twice by the same company, over many years. They must have something very different in their lending criteria. You're a tight one, Mr Branson.

    • 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.

Hi,

I have been trying to open a new business account but as my credit score is so bad all the high street banks have knocked me back. Does anyone know if you can open a business current account with building societies without being credit scored. I obvioulsy dont want to borrow just a place to put money and write cheques#

Thanks

Cant help but I shall be checking back to see if anyone has any ideas.

 

We need a basic account, just for money in, money out, no OD, no chequebook etc.

 

We have tried all the usuals, RBS, Natwest, A&L but no luck :(

For anyone who has no dispute with the RBS group of companies Natwest offer a basic business account called...

The foundation business account, apparently it is guaranteed acceptance and run on the same terms as a personal basic bank account. However I have not applied and do not know what the charges are as I have dispute with them so its pointless.

Alot of caggers are in the same predicament as me so if you have no dispute with natwest and apply and are successful please post back for other caggers.

I had no dispute with RBS group but was refused a foundation account with Natwest, so it definatley isnt guaranteed acceptance.

 

At the time of applying I had a step account with them which was being run satisfactorily.

I should also say that my OH had an account with RBS (being run satisfactorily) and we were also refused RBS's foundation account.

Hi Crockie,

Yes I found out today that the foundation account IS credit scored, so not much use.

Know any other way to get a basic business account?:

 

We are still looking but the lack of business account is now becoming a problem.

 

I have heard that Halifax do a Treasurers account which can be used for ltd companies, however this is a passbook account so no card or dd's.

Crockie,

They dont credit score company directors and thats definite, when I went to see an old friend who works for HSBC he told me that was the way around it. However we are not a limited company so if your are you 'home and hosed' as they say

We have been refused the foundation account, Natwest & RBS as a limited company and they have both done several credit checks on us personally :(

 

We thought that we would have a better chance of getting the business account if we were a ltd co, as we had heard that they cant credit check directors, however this hasn't proven to be the case.

Go to HSBC and see the business advisor there, tell him your predicament and if he/she is okay they will tell you how to open the account as a limited company. My friend told me he could open the account no problem but being a limited company means audited accounts and other changes that would not suit our business.

Hi Steve,

Nationwide and the CO-OP do not do basic 'business' accounts and apparently running a business through a personal account is 'frowned' upon. I have been advised however that the HMRC are not against a business running their financial affairs through a personal account and it is not against the law. However if anyone is considering doing this then they should open a totally separate account for transparency in case they are ever investigated.

The banks do not want business's running their finances through personal accounts has the majority do not charge for putting cash/chqs through which they do on a business account.

Hi Exasperated just seen this thread.

I know of a Foundation account operated by Lloyds.

The criteria is that you dont owe the Lloyds banking group any money,and are not a discharged bankrupt.

I reported that assistance to get one of these can be through inbiz which is an organisation that helps new business start ups.

Well worth also you contacting your local chamber of trade -they can give you info free.Organisations such as these can pull strings with banks and its their business to get people up and running.

 

I will move your thread into the business bank forums.

The pros and cons of using a personal account have been discussed there many times.

Well we are talking of HBOS (Halifax Bank of Scotland) and subsidiary companies such as Black Horse Finance.

I have no doubt that you will get some response in this forum-not just on the account deciding issues-but any other business related question.

Sorry to tell you this is not true, I have all my accounts personal/mortgage/business with HSBC, I tried to open a new business account today (both our current company and new company are LTD and there are 2 directors - the same in each) and I was unable to due to bad personal credit of the directors. We have never had bad credit within any of our HSBC accounts.

Hi Neeta,

I was sat in front of the business advisor in the branch where I live, I had told him my personal details and he told me that it was a waste of time trying to open a partnership account with HSBC. I assure you he told me that they only credit check the company not the directors as they are not liable as its a limited liability arrangement.

However as we are not a limited company I could not proceed down that route, so I cannot vouch for it personally. That said he wanted to open the account as we have an healthy business and everything else he told us was correct so I dont understand why he would give that advice knowing it would be rejected.

Thanks for your input.

How annoying is it that things can be so different then at different branches of the same branch, my business advisor was adamant yesterday that there is nothing she could do, it's all automatic and after she'd put all my details through it was simply a case of 'computer says no' I find myself in a horrendous situation now with the potential of losing a massive contract because I can't open a new business bank account... p.s. wasn't saying you were fibbing was just adding my experience in, came to your thread in a desparate search for a way out of my problem.... am still searching :)

I am in the same position i have signed contracts for my business but i cant open a business bank account anywhere as i have had a CCJ in the last 6 years, it is just so frustrating that no one will even entertain me, the only people who seem to think they can help are on the web who offer a garunteed business account service for a fee but i am reluctant to give money away.

Neeta,

Start a thread everyone is here to help as I want to help you. If the comapny is clean you should be able to open an account.

Try another bank whom the company is not endebted to, preferably one which the directors have no connection.

Surely you will be okay......... any comments from anyone with experience please

Not sure about limited companies but its well worth also you contacting your local chamber of trade -they can give you info free.Organisations such as these who can pull strings with banks and its their business to get people up and running.

Their thousands of people like us who run succesful business but due to personal problems at home find their own financial affairs in ruin.

Let me know how you get on so we can advise other caggers
