    • We used to recommend that people accept mediation but our advice has changed. The mediation process is unclear. Before you can embark on it you have to agree that you are prepared to enter a compromise – and that means that you agree that you are prepared to give up some of your rights even though you are completely in the right and you are entitled to hundred percent of your money and even though EVRi are simply trying to obstruct you in order to discourage you and also to put others who might want to follow your example off from claiming and even though they have a legitimate basis for reimbursement. Mediation is not transparent. In addition to having to sign up that you are prepared to give up some of your rights, you will also have to agree not to reveal any details of the mediation – including the result of the mediation – so that the whole thing is kept secret. This is not open justice. Mediation has nothing to do with justice. The only way of getting justice is to make sure that this matter goes to trial unless EVRi or the other parcel delivery companies put their hands up and accept the responsibility even if they do it is a gesture of goodwill. Going to trial and winning at trial produces a judgement which we can then add to our small collection to assist other people who are in a similar boat. EVRi had been leading you around by the nose since at least January – and probably last year as well – and their whole purpose is simply to drag it out, to place obstacles in your way, to deter other people, and to make you wish that you'd never started the process and that you are prepared to give up your 300 quid. You shouldn't stand for it. You should take control. EVRi would prefer that you went to mediation and if nothing else that is one excellent reason why you should decline mediation and go to court. If it's good for them it's bad for you. On mediation form, you should sign that you are not prepared to compromise and that you are not prepared to keep the result secret but that you want to share the results with other people in similar circumstances. This means that the mediation won't go ahead. It will take slightly longer and you will have to pay a court fee but you will get that back when you win and you will have much greater satisfaction. Also, once you go the whole process, you will learn even more about bringing a small claim in the County Court so that if this kind of thing happens again you will know what to do and you will go ahead without any hesitation. Finally, if you call EVRi's bluff and refuse mediation and go to trial, there is a chance – maybe not a big chance – but there is a chance that they will agree to pay out your claim before trial simply in order to avoid a judgement. Another judgement against them will simply hurt the position even more and they really don't want this. 300 quid plus your costs is peanuts to them. They don't care about it. They will set it off against tax so the taxpayer will make their contribution. It's all about maintaining their business model of not being liable for anything, and limiting or excluding liability contrary to section 57 and section 72 of the consumer rights act.  
    • Nice to hear a positive story about a company on this form for a change. Thank you
    • too true HB, but those two I referred for starters - appear to be self admitted - One to excuse other lockdown law breaking, by claiming his estate away from his consistency and London abode was his main home the other if he claims to have 'not told the truth' in his own words via that quote - to have mislead his investors rather than broken lobbying rules   - seem to be slam dunks - pick which was your law breaking - it seems to be both and much more besides in Jenricks case Starmer was director of public prosecutions yet the tories are using seemingly baseless allegations for propaganda and starmer is missing pressing apparent blatant criminality in politics

    • 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.

HSBC Mortgage PPI **** SUCCESS ****

All,

 

After a successful battle with Barclays Partner Finance over charges and a PPI reclaim with Aqua that proved successful (thanks to the great people on here and MSE) I have gone through the little paperwork I still have, to see what else I could look at. I have placed claims with HFC on another thread for some retail loans on electrical goods but also found the policy number of my Mortgage PPI through HSBC

 

As a background I opened my old student account with Midland in 94 and did all my banking with them for years including all loans, my credit card and then mortgage when I got married in 2000. I do not have the detail for this policy, but rather for my single policy that was opened when I bought my house in 2003 after my divorce.

 

My mortgage was in my name only and the paperwork was made out with a "sign here, here and here" attitude in the bank.

 

Mortgage PPI was set up, which I just thought was the norm - exactly as had happed 3 years earlier. At the time I had 6 months full and 6 months half pay, working for a company I had been with for 3 years and are the biggest brand in the world (not much chance of losing my job). I had life and critical income cover and an income protection policy - all through HSBC Life.

 

If I'm honest, looking back I think it is far too much cover, but I have been told that it sounds about right from some people. After changing mortgage in 2006 I discovered that MPPI is not a necessary part of buying a mortgage, nor does it have to be with the organisation that sells the mortgage either if chosen.

 

The policy ran through till 2007 when I cancelled it (stupidly presumed that it would be cancelled at the time my mortgage with them ended) and I've not had MPPI now for 4 1/2 years and I've never had it questioned by my mortgage provider (changed again in 2008)

 

I suppose i'm asking if people think I have a valid argument for complaining to HSBC that the MPPI wasn't necesserily in my best interests based on the cover I already had with them?

 

Thanks

Hi

 

I have formatted the post for you to make it easier to read.

 

Yes you can claim. I guess the premiums were a fixed amount eacc month?

 

Do you have the statements showing the amounts and the dates of payment.

 

Short answer is yes you can reclaim this.

Hi IMS, most appreciated (again!!) No idea, why it wont format when I post, even after I edit. Might be due to work internet? Anyway all I have was a letter than showed the policy account number and the payment owed when I cancelled the DD in December 2007. I had no paperwork for the policy, couldn't get any sense out of anyone at HSBC Life, so cancelled the DD with a view to getting a reponse. It showed the premium that was outstanding - £29.72, so I'm guessing that the monthly payment wont be too different to that figure each month previosuly from 2003. The premium was obviously paid each month.

I was thinking the same. Based on a figure between £25-£30 per month then i'm pretty sure I paid over £1k for this cover, that wasn't necessary in my opinion. I'd like any redress (if there is one) to be acurate. Based on the sums and time frame then there should be a hefty chunk of interest to go on top of that too. Do you think my claim is a valid one and my opinion of a miss-sell is correct? I was already covered, no option to go somewhere else for cover if required, paperwork drawn up at same time and told to sign (i'm aware this is very hard to prove) hence the fact I had so many other insurances through HSBC at the same time is what I would rather focus on

Well it looks like I haven't needed to SAR them. I'd actually posted the FOS form in Nov to them, and was expecting a wait. Thought i'd get some info from the SAR in anticipation for an intial rejection, as seems to be the case with MPPI.

 

However a letter arrived yesterday with an offer that was almost double what I was expecting with 8% stat on top. This would be a massive help in paying off a loan and paying off an overdraft. Would put me around £200 a month better off, which is perfect timing as I am about to move back into my home (after 2 years in different parts of the UK and my house rented out). I don't have a breakdown of payment unfortunately but it looks like it covers payment back to 2000 on the old MPPI I had with my ex wife. I've just run my almost £30 payment back to 2003 then the same back to Feb 2000 (but at half the rate) and its near as damn it to what they have offered. Shame the tax man gets £500 but can't complain too much!

Hi IMS

 

Yes i've put into a spreadsheet going back to 2000 when i bought my first house. For the first bit i've guessed at around £13 (half of what I expect the premium would have been) and then put in the £29 from June 2003 through till Nov 2007. It seems to work out pretty much what they have offered and the interest works out about right too. I only paid MPPI with HSBC in that time, so don't see how it could be wrong. Maybe a couple of £'s wrong at the most. Very happy indeed, and all for the cost of 5min to fill in and a stamp. At least i'm vindicated in the belief HSBC tried to sell me so many thing I didn't need, and being young(er) at the time, bought it!

 

Good luck to anyone in a similar position. Lets hope HFC are as generous, as i have exactly the same reasons in place - Income protection policy with HSBC covered me :-)

Thanks IMS, although I feel guilty about a well done, when I didn't really do anything, lol. As soon as money is banked (they took bank details so wont get cheque thank god!) i'll let you know. For the first time in a few years i will have some breathing space each month. Can't wait!!!!

 

 

Cheers :-)

All,Money landed in account today. 2 weeks after they received my acceptance. I did check my account at 9:30 this morning and it wasn't there, however after spending 30min on the phone (The 2 tel numbers on the letter didn't work!) and eventually speaking to someone in the relevant department, he told me that my payment had been made on the 3rd and had I checked my account. Low and behold the money was there now! Very pleased. Loads of bills paid this afternoon

Hi joncow75

 

I am in the process of trying to claim PPI from HSBC and noticed that you have had success from a very similar start date. Would you be willing to share the process you went through / letters you sent? Was your policy charged to your account as HSBC life? The basic scenario in my case is that I was sold this as compulsory in order to get my mortgage and the cover provided was offered through my employer!

 

Thank you for any help or advice you can give

 

Naith
