    • Well tbh that’s good news and something she can find out for herself.  She has no intention if peace.  I’m going to ask the thread stays open a little longer.   It seems she had not learned that I am just not the one!!!!  plus I have received new medical info from my vet today.   To remain within agreement, I need to generally ask for advice re:  If new medical information for the pup became apparent now- post agreement signing, that added proof a second genetic disease (tested for in those initial tests in the first case but relayed incorrectly to me then ), does it give me grounds for asking a court to unseal the deed so I can pursue this new info….. if she persists in being a pain ? If generally speaking, a first case was a cardiac issue that can be argued as both genetic and congenital until a genetic test is done and then a second absolute genetic only disease was then discovered, is that deemed a new case or grounds for unsealing? Make sense ?   This disease is only ever genetic!!!!  Rather more damning and indisputable proof of genetic disease breeding with no screening yk prevent.   The vet report showing this was uploaded in the original N1 pack.  Somehow rekeyed as normal when I was called with the results.  A vet visit today shows they were not normal and every symptom he has had reported in all reports uploaded from day one are related to the disease.

    • I think you have the supremacy of contract as it allows you to park in designated areas. I would argue that there being parking enforcement there clearly means its to be used as parking and as such you can use it under your lease. Only need to worry if they ever follow through with a letter of claim and a claimform though

    • 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 am new of this halifax forum (but old on HSBC who am in process of claiming against!!).

 

I am in process of starting a claim for my Scottish boyfriend, based in Edinburgh against Halifax. We have already done DPA request and he looks to have approx £600 worth of charges over past 6 years, is it right though in scotland the statute of limitations says 5 years only?:confused: Can someone please direct me to the scottish procedure for claiming, i am presuming it is fairly similar to England in any event?

 

Any tips for Halifax... they certainly seem to bleed you dry charges are unreal! :eek:

 

thanks x

Hello sarrahk,

 

Yes, use the same letters. Also, the limit in Scotland is £750, so you will be fine in Small Claims.

 

The limitations issue is a bit unclear at the moment, but in general, yes, the limitation in Scotland is 5 years. You could always go after Halifax in England.

 

Everything you need to know about Small Claims in Scotland can be found here: [linkhttp://www.scotcourts.gov.uk/sheriff/small_claims/index.asp[/link]

 

Good luck, and don't forget to keep us posted on your progress.

 

also, I think this post is more of a 'Scottish' post than a 'Halifax' post, so I'm moving it to the Scottish forum.

Just address it to the bank, at their registered office. Their mailroom will direct it themselves. As a consumer you're not expected to know individuals within the organisation.

Great and can you 8% interest in sheriffs court as you can in county court? I can see looks like you recovered charges + interest??? It is not very clear in guidance notes! Did you have to go all way through to court hearing stage or did they pay up once you issued paperwork?

We today received a shocking offer of a mere £96 from halifax!! Goodness knows how they arrived at that figure.. its not even a fifth of the claim!! I am speechless!! :o

 

They also gave their standard blurb of how they are entitled to levy charges but they will not provide us with a breakdown of costs!

 

Anyway do we write and accept this as an interim payment and state that we will pursue for the rest still or do we just point blank refuse such a shocking amount!! HELP PLEASE! :-|

If it were me, I would respond as follows:

 

Dear sirs,

 

Thank you for your letter of xxxxxx. I note all that you say. I do not accept your offer.

 

Yours faithfully.

 

Then get on with your court claim.

Is that not a little blunt?! I suppose it cuts to chase. I am presuming i must still send the LBA, as the last letter was only the prelim and expiry for that is next week? I thought it best to wait the full two weeks for the prelim though as that is what i said i would do before sending LBA, what do you think?

I will send interim response however!

It may be blunt, but it says exactly what it needs to. They know what they have to do in order to avoid a court case, so the rest is up to them. You could write screeds and screeds, but all that does is give them an opportunity to enter into a debate with you, which you don't want.

  • 2 weeks later...
  • 1 month later...

long time no post i know.. unfo i have been away holidaying in italy (poor me!)

 

anyway, returned last week to note that NO reply received whatsoever from halifax to LBA sent! Shocking! They have had 4 weeks given we were away! Anyway my boyf is bit nervous about going straight for jugular and taking them to sheriffs court so i have agreed to put together a final harsh letter for them allowing further 14 days... (gives me enough time to put from together) before we go for it!

 

Can someone point me in direction of correct forms to use for scottish proceedings and is there a template? thanks Sarrah

Hi Sarrah. Sorry - just a bit confused.. Am I right in thinking you have already sent them LBA, and now you are giving them ANOTHER two weeks..?

 

If I am right, PLEASE DON'T do this. Stick to the timetable you have set down, otherwise you are making empty threats. If their LBA time is up, it's time for action on that date...

Abbey - 547.00 settled in full.

Second claim: £204 WON.

Barclaycard - 142.88 incl interest due WON BY DEFAULT as they didn't even bother entering a defence. Barclaycard paid up £184.88.

 

MBNA - Concluded £634.31

Capital One Concluded £148

Kinda disappointed I've no more banks to go after now...

well another twist.. On Sat just received another offer letter (very overdue) of £270 which is obviously still short of the full amount, is the standard thing to write to say we accept this as an interim payment but will pursue you for the rest? or do we just straightforward decline, dont want to lose this money obviously??

Say thanks, but we'll be persuing you in court for the rest.
