    • How much of the documentation have you seen from when probate was obtained? And do you have a copy of the original will? I can't remember. My thought about you making the decision on your own to go with another lawyer is that three of you are meant to be beneficiaries of this will trust, aren't you? Normally you would need to act together. HB

    • Hi guys, I am about to file my defence via email as cannot log in to the claim anymore.  Can you please advise if I can paste below and if it's good to go for now, or should I add anything else in?  Thanks!  The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4.  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.  1.  The Defendant is the recorded keeper of vehicle xxxx xxx.  2.  It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant - Parking Eye LTD.  3.  As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance.  The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner.  Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim.   4.  In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant.  5.  The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer.   6.  The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety.  It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • 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 had a student bank account wIth natwest which has an over draft and a credit card. The overdraft is owing and the credit card is within its limit but natwest wanted to whole payment. A lot of the balance is charges!

 

My graduate account was automatically changed into a graduate account even though I hadn't graduated (my studies took longer as I was ill)

 

At the start of 2011 I went to natwest inquiring about a graduate loan. I wanted 10k to pay for rent, buy furniture and a car. I'd been living in Kent with my partner and we were relocating to my home town.

 

The guy at the bank said this doesn't sound like enough and I should consider 15k. He also told me that paying back a larger amount looks better if apply for a mortgage. I stupidly was excited by this prospect and took the 15k loan. I had a conditional offer of employment that they took as evidence of income to pay it back.

 

I eventually got this good job and was paying back the full amount every month. Until I fell really ill with a long term condition and heart condition etc.

 

I entered into a payment plan which I was paying. Then for NO reason at all my account was mistakenly sent their collections department. Natwest admitted it was mistakenly sent there but while it was there I couldn't make a payment. It took them months to get it back from collections. During which they counted the late payments and my payment plan ticked away.

 

They wouldn't let me enter another plan as I'd had one for 12 months.

They harassed me, sent me 4 or 5 letters a day and called me all the time. I eventually had a seizure the day they sent me letters about lawyers etc.

 

I have entered a debt management plan with step change and the most of my £150 payment goes to the loan

 

They send me letters regarding my secured mortgage. Which is loan obviously isn't. I had nothing to secure it against!

 

I have loads of defaults on my credit file because of this, which was immaculate before this loan.

 

What can I do?! I really feel like they messed up but don't know where to start.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

What exactly would my complaint relate to?

 

I think I wouldn't have had through defaults and late payments if it wasn't for their messing up!

 

 

Thanks for all your help, you're a star!

Hey guys. I have a graduate loan with natwest and fell into financial difficulty. (Details on a different thread).

 

But I now pay a reduced amount via a debt management plan with stepchange debt charity.

 

I'd heard nothing from natwest then suddenly had 4 calls today and a letter and text from Westcott debt collection agency asking me to contact them urgently to pay the money back.

 

Is there anything I can do?

 

Thanks

Firstly contact your dmp manager they should go through them and not be contacting you. Its just a fishing trip to see if they can squeeze more money out of you. Don't speak to them on the phone just insist on everything in writing.Don't panic.

I took out a student bank account with natwest when i went to uni. I took longer to complete my degree as i was ill however, after 3 years my bank upgraded my account to a graduate account even though i hadnt asked and hadnt graduated. They offered me a graduate loan which i wanted to take.

 

The guy at the bank told me that if i took out a higher loan it would help me get a mortgage in the future and would improve my credit rating. I stupidly believed you and took out the higher loan which they accepted with a job offer letter which was conditional of me passing the probation period. the payments were set up for £270 a month.

 

I kept some of the loan to pay the first repayments back and then carried on paying for about a year. then i fell ill and into financial problems. I told the bank straight away and filled out an income and expenditure form. They agreed to let me enter into a 12 month agreement to pay less.

 

I was paying perfectly when i got a letter saying it had been passed to a debt collector. I called and they said it had accidentally been passed and they were trying to get it back and i couldnt pay anything as they no longer held the account. It took them 6 months to get it back.

 

12 month of the agreement plan was spent waiting for them to get my account back from the debt collector and so i couldnt pay. but they said my 12 months was up even though i couldnt pay for 6 months because of their mistake.

 

They literally harassed me with phonecalls and letters everyday and calling my parents house even though id told them i didnt live there any more.

 

I have a massive default of my credit rating for a huge loan i never would have taken if it wasnt for there misrepresentations.

 

Is there anything i can do?! Im now paying it through a stepchange plan but it wont be paid for ages.

Im not sure a miselling complaint here is the right way to go.

 

The argument you have suggested is that you fell behind in payments on the payment plan due to them making a mistake and sending it to the debt collectors. Admissions in wrting would be a good support tool.

 

A BCOBS complaint would be that they failed to manage your account correctly to your detriment.

 

However

 

the "many defaults" IS prob as suggested above, a status update if you will. If you are on a payment plan then this may be accurate.

Ah ok thank you!

 

The reason I thought it might have been mis sold was that I hadn't graduated at the time due to illness. I didn't graduate until the following year but he changed my account to a graduate account so that he could give me the loan. He also accepted a conditional job offer as proof I'd be able to pay despite me having no money and being in my over draft with my account with them.

 

He said he couldn't accept a conditional offer then called me and said he could.

Hi all

 

I am have a large natwest graduate loan that I took in 2011. I wasn't actually a graduate at the time but the guy in the bank said they'd just changed my student account to graduate so I could get one. Also wasn't working at the time but had conditional job offer. Was given the loan but later didn't get that job and so couldn't pay. Used loan to pay loan.

Now paying through DMP.

 

I've just seen some letters they'd sent as I'm sending a cca request and theyvelines described my loan throughout as a secured loan and a mortgage which is definitely wasn't. Was just a simple graduate loan.

 

What can I do about this? Is there a complaint I can be making?

 

Thanks all

Sorry I think what I'm asking this time is a different question. It's nothing about he actual loan itself or repayment of it or anything I've asked before.

 

It's simply whether they fact they've described it as secured when it isn't is a problem or not? Not everyone is an expert in this bit i think hats a completely different question
