    • Your page numbers should run through your WX and exhibits so im concerned its page x of 9.
    • 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.

    • 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,

This is my first post on this site and i'm basically just looking for some sound advice. I have just sent off my first letter to the RBS asking for a list of all my charges for the last 6 years, I have included a cheque for ten pounds.

My main questions are, is it too late to start this process now as there is soon to be clamp down on these charges? Is it just a case of totalling up my charges and writing to the same address asking for a full refund?

I have read many posts on here and just feeling a little confused.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Will.

 

What clampdown is that, then?

If you are talking about the OFT report, that is what it is....A report which is aimed at the banks. It will NOT affect your claim in any way. Whoever told you otherwise has got the wrong end of the stick.

For more information read the following thread.....

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general/70359-about-oft-impending-report.html

 

As far as the procedure is concerned, I suggest that you spend a few days reading the FAQs and the step by step guide in the library section.

That will explain it all to you.

 

Good luck.

Regards, Rooster.

Thanks for the promt reply. It is that report indeed, guess I was just a bit scared of the whole thing but then I think about all my many many charges and it makes me determined! Just worried that it is going to take months and months. Will read the FAQ's though and keep posting.

As I understand it, there is not to be a clamp down on charges as such. The OFT report is expected to set a level of charges at which they (the OFT) would take action. This is thought to be £12-15.

 

It is taken as read, I think, that banks will attempt to call this a 'cap' and try to reduce claims for refund accordingly.

 

However, as I understand it, this OFT 'ruling' is NOT retrospective so whatever the banks may try, it shouldn't impact claims for charges prior to the date of the OFT report - it probably won't affect subsequent ones either, because the UTCA etc still apply.

 

So if the banks still refuse to disclose the actual cost of administering our breaches of contract, then the basis for our claims still apply, because £12-15 charge for a 'service' where the actual cost is IRO £1 is STILL a PENALTY CHARGE.

 

So in essence, the answer to your questions are - No and No

 

No, It's not too late to start, I don't think there will be a 'too late'.

 

No, it's not quite that simple (yet). You should go through the process outlined on the site because then they know you are serious, and if they mess you around (as they have others) then you have the process on your side.

 

If I have my a*se out of the window on this, I'm sure somebody will be along to correct me presently.

 

Hope that helps.

Hi there,

I have received my bank statements and am stunned at the amount of charges i have incurred. My question is do i simply highlight these and send them off, and if so to what address is it best to send them to? I have seen so many addresses on this site that i'm confused. Am i best to send it recorded delivery etc?

Many thanks.

Thanks for that. I am currently putting everything into the template spreadsheet and everything should be ready for posting tonight. One last thing (sorry), do i actually send my statements with the letter and spreadsheet??

will

 

no, just the spreadsheet.

 

Think it might be worth you running through the user guide in the FAQs area because you seem to not be entirely sure of what you are doing and it would be far better for you to have a full grasp of exactly what the process is and what you need to do.

 

You are after all taking on a rather large company here!

Sent off my letter with the spreadsheet of charges on the 11/04/07. They have replied today (18/04/07) thanking me for my letter regarding the charges applied to my account and that they are considering my claim and will respond to me as soon as possible. From Sandy Watt.

Do I now give them 14 days from receipt of this letter or do I stick to my original letter are disregard this one??

Many thanks.

Hi Will, the overall advice given on the many threads in here is to stick to the deadlines that you have imposed. So give them 14 days from the day they received your preliminary letter and then send your LBA. Many people have received the standard letter from Sandy Watt but this is not considered a positive response to your prelim so you should go ahead with your LBA.

Update. I sent my request letter off giving them the 14 days etc and got the Sandy Watt aknowledgement letter. I have given them a week over their 14 days and i have now sent the other letter off. I have stuck with the template but made a few extra comments because the bank phoned me to say they were going to default my account shortly (this is nothing to do with the charges, purly because i am overdrawn). I have stressed the urgency of a reply and payment but also that i will not be accepting a reduced settlement figure. Is this too strong? I am scared that i wont hear anything back?

You have raised the issue of penalty charges which have been applied unlawfully to your account. It is therefore in dispute and the bank isn't allowed to default you whilst this is so....

 

Write a letter in response to the threat of default, stating the 'account is in dispute' and this should stop further action in that area...

Got a letter saying that the charges on my account etc were fair, blah blah. However, as an act of good faith they are going to refund the FULL amount that i asked for! (£4465) I am so happy, not a penny less than I asked for. I did make it clear in my second letter that I would not be backing down and advised them not to offer me a smaller amount - appears to have worked anyway! Does anybody know the timescale for getting the money? I posted the letter of acceptance (taking a copy of course) on Monday past???

Thanks for all the advice by the way - brilliant!!!
