    • 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.
    • UK travellers have been turned away at airports because their passports are not valid for EU travel.View the full article
    • 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.

Firstly hi to all

 

I have only just joined & know there is a lot to look through but......

 

How can one calculate how much they have over charged?

 

Examples Charge with RBS for unpaid Chq £38 & Service Charge for maintainance of account £28 then the interest that is applied.

Don't know how to start? is there a set fee for lets say the £38 for unpaid chq or can I claim for it all?

Service Charge of £28 can't be claimed right?

there is some reading to be going on with for now. welcome to the site. if you need any help just post here with questions so we can answer them. ok first of all you can claim all penalty charges back the whole of them. second usually you cannot claim back service charges however this one seems particulary high and that would make me think it is a penalty under the name of service charge which banks have been known to do. so i would claim this as well. you can always knock it off again later if you think its really for a service.

good luck

Cheers for reply

 

Taken bull by the horn & took a little differnet approach due to not knowing about Service charges.

Asked for refund via RBS website complaints giving them 14 days- probably will get ignored but have offered as a quick settlement 80% of charges. I have not mentioned any amounts just asked for last 6 years.

I have my bank statements since iv'e been with them so no need for SAR and know how much total in charges are & total in so called service charges. Therefore "IF" any settlement figures are sent will have an idea on what has or has not been included - if nothing offered or ignored then will pursue for FULL refund.

Received my fob off reply via post today.

Couple of quotes from letter

Quote - “Please be advised that the bank’s system does mot easily allow access to customer accounts prior to twelve months ago. As a result, we are unable to view any charges that might have been applied to your account prior to that. Against that background, please contact your branch to request historic statements for your account, these will cover the past 6 years and cost £5”

Better than £10

Quote – “We have considered and responded to the Office of Fair Trading’s statement of 5 April 2006. We do not accept the Office of Fair Trading’s findings in relation to credit card fees. We are concerned that the Office of Fair Trading has publicly called into question the settings of charges applied to other products, including current accounts. The Office of Fair Trading has restricted its investigation to credit cards and made no attempt to consult with RBS or the industry in relation to other, entirely different products.”

Oh well to next stage of process to claim back.

Hello Cougar, I am just starting this process myself. Re RBOS offer of £5 for statements, I think they mean £5 per statement. May be worth checking out. Go for SAR and pay the £10 for summary printout of all charges on your account past 6 years.They have to provide these.Read the guidance notes. Well worth the time spent.

 

happy hunting

Thanks for the reply jessejames (frank will be chasing the loot too).

 

Do banks have full access (can look at themselves) to the last 6 years or can they only do this when you request it?

Hi Cougar, I am sure banks can access their records at any time, certainly back 6 years. I had to obtain copy statements from RBOS in 1993, backdated 6 years, for a subsequently successful civil action (not against RBOS) and they were able to supply these within 2 weeks. They charged £5 per statement, total cost about £360, which I recovered from the other party. Go for the £10 option and keep the pressure on.

 

good luck
