    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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 all,

 

Ive finally worked out how to post a thread :smile: lol. Have just paid £250 via the Moneyline court system to claim back the £11+k i've been charged by Nationwide over the last 6 years. Could you all please cross your fingers for me :grin: . Nationwides reply to my claim was that I agreed to their terms and conditions so tough...so as I couldnt pop down the the high street and thump the branch manager I had to proceed to court. Will keep you all posted. Good luck everyone :)

Thanks to all those who replied. Yes £11k is a huge amount, and dont forget thats just the last 6 years. I 've banked with them for 17 years. We really are that bad at running our account, its quite embarassing really, but most of the time the money has only been a day or two late being paid in (hubby self employed) but even if you ring them and say this is going to happen they aren't interested in helping you out. Today we received a Notice of Issue from the court letting us know that our claim had been lodged and that Nationwide had been sent their docs on 10/08/06. they have until 29/08/06 to reply. will keep you all updated. I think I read somewhere that this site would like my claim number/court details etc so they can track my progress too, cant remember where i saw it tho...anyone know? keep in touch mates :D x x

Hi everyone,

 

Well this morning I received the Notice of Acknowledgment of Service and Nationwide intend to defend all of my claim. OK, so now i feel like caving in already :sad: . What a wuss. I cannot bear the thought of actually going to court, although Dolly-site helper- has kindly offered to dig out some information for me. I know i'll get all tongue tied and incoherent lol. the thing is £11k is a huge amount thats worth fighting for, i dread to think what i'll have to pay out if i lose! Prayers and crossing of appendages welcome ;)

Nursiepoos - have you still got an account with them? Every time they have said that they intend to defend the money starts going into the account within a day or so, so if you have, please check it :)

OMG OMG OMG I'm in shock. It does work, and these advisors aren't crazy! Lol.

Total claim £11,247.00

  • Data Protection Act letter sent 06/06/06
  • Prelim Letter 24/07/06

(LBA not sent as they charged me another £750 last month and wouldnt negotiate 2 days for me to get the money in the bank so I threw a hissy fit and went straight to the moneyline stage, willingly handing over the £250 fee)

  • Moneyline claim 10/8/06
  • Acknowledgement of Service 14/8/06

22/08/06 - Payment into account - £250.00

23/08/06 - Payment into account - £9,080.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Presumably they'll pay the rest today or tommorrow. I'm over the moon. All those jitters were worth it. Keep going everybody, if they can pay me back £11,000 then they are admitting that they cant justify their charges. I might even claim back the £750 they charged me last month now lol. (New acc with Lloyds opening tommorrow.)

 

Many many thanks to Dolly for all you support and advice. We will hand over 5% gladly and thankfully.

 

(Not sure what to do about the court now though, I see there is a customer helpline phone number on the Moneyline site, will give them a call.)

 

Could Dolly or a Moderator please contact me for details of how I can hand over some of this lovely lolly :)) x x x xx xx

Well Done, i wish i was at that stage! - I have to wait until 4th Sept to see if they respond although mine is only £683.14pence i wish i had it back then i would close the Account.

Why do they that these unauthorised overdrafts / Charges are Transparent and they think they are in the right?

Has anyone been to the stage where they have had there claim issued to the Nationwide and then had a letter from the courts to tell you that they have so long to reply?

It's a long winded process starting to get bored with it, but i want my £££ back so it's just a waiting game i suppose? Any one that can give me some feedback please advise

 

Thanx

Well done to you.

 

Not to put you off, but I had my claim acknowledged by Nationwide and they paid *some* into my account, the majority but not all. I'm still awaiting the rest, and there is no sign of it. It looks like I'm going to have to file judgement by default for the rest.

 

So keep an eye out for it and I'll keep my fingers crossed that they pay up the rest sharp-ish!
