    • 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.
    • 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.

Its common knowledge that Citi are misleading people in the event that they are unable to find an executed agreement after receiving a s78(1) Consumer Credit Act request.

 

Sending customers recent Terms & Conditions or stating that the varied Terms & Conditions sent with statements and new cards fulfil their duty is incorrect.

 

The regulations are specific, in all instances a request for the executed agreement should be accompanied by the varied Terms & Conditions. For purposes of an s78(1) CCA request, if Terms & Conditions are reference in the executed agreement a copy of those original Terms & Conditions should also be included.

 

Consumer Credit (Cancellation Notices and Copies of Documents) Regulations 1983

7 Copies of agreements or security instruments where the agreement or security instrument has been varied

(1) Where an agreement has been varied in accordance with section 82(1) of the Act, every copy of the executed agreement given to a debtor, hirer or surety under any provision of the Act other than section 85(1) shall include either--

(a) an easily legible copy of the latest notice of variation given in

 

Therefore in just providing a copy of the Varied Terms & Conditions the s78(1) CCA request remains unfulfilled and goes into default after a period of 12+2 days of receipt by Citi.

 

The addition of interest, penalty charges and the further processing of data to the credit reference agencies whilst a request for the executed agreement (i.e. signed agreement) is in default is an action that Citi have no legal entitlement to do, is certainly unlawful, and may potentially be illegal if they attempt to justify this - in my case they did this after my complaint which equates to deception.

It looks as if Citi will take notice if you are having problems and your local trading standards department enquires as to the supply of the copy of the executed agreement.

 

That however does not address the fact that as listed in legislation the creditor is duty bound to supply the debtor with a copy of the executed agreement - a copy being supplied via a third party does not fulfil the s78 request, epsecially 9 months subsequent to the original request.

I think you will find Enron that The London office will only deal with those directly from the home area.

For those outside London they will need to contact their local TS and ask for them to liase a complaint using the London office by home authority.

I had this spelled out to me in the Capquest and Active KAP sagas.

Yes, but most are arguing that to comply with section 77-79 requests they simply have to provide you with T&C's as they were at the time you signed and T&Cs as they are now for comparision.

 

Aparently the definition of a "true copy" doesn't have to include our signatures (which sounds like rubbish to me).

 

See this letter from Barclaycard Legal Department - they are trying the same rubbish with me:-

We are getting the same treatment in court. Judge took the view that: No need for a default notice, no need for the CCA no need for anything..the claimants are saying " The account was terminated so no worries about consumer credit act, quoting Rankines and all that jazz"

 

This is a credit card we're talking about.

I have clarification from the OFT which outlines what should be included in response to a CCA request.

What Citi have attempted to do here is provide a copy of Terms & Conditions from 2007, stating that they are the executed agreement from 1996.

 

Next stop the ICO with relation to this.

Yes they are pretty invaluable, as they indicate what fulfills a request.

 

Let me know what you get in return to your s78(1) Consumer Credit Act request - it is likely that it will be the same invalid letter that everyone else has received.

Hello Enron!

 

Paul Wilton also posted a handy letter from the Chief Exec of the OFT which I think could do with being formatted and verified and then made into a sticky somewhere.

 

To save me typing and having to think too hard, below is some bumf I've just written on another Thread to point SB100 to the letter:

 

======== START OF CUT AND PASTE! =======

 

I'd also have a read of the following:

 

Re: Letters from DTI /Oft Regarding CCA1974 Issues - Post #49

 

...which is a letter from the Chief Executive of the OFT to the MP Sion Simon, regarding CCA Requests. This confirms the OFT think that a CCA Request response must include the Original Terms and the Current Terms (if varied). The OFT also feels that it would be likely that a Court would want to see the Original Agreement...

 

...where the veracity of the Agreement produced could then be tested before the Court where the onus of proof is on the Creditor.

 

John Fingleton

Chief executive

Office of Fair Trading

21/11/2008

 

In effect, that's what I and many others on CAG have been saying for ages: only the Original Agreement will do in Court. Before Court, it's entirely correct that in response to a s77-79 CCA Request, the Consumer should be given a true copy of the real Agreement, together with both the Original Terms and the Current Terms (if varied).

 

======== END OF CUT AND PASTE! =======

 

Cheers,

BRW

Can we report straight to the OFT?

 

I have loads more letters to do tonight :D

 

Citi have screwed me over for 6 years with charges and it's a satisfied default due to expire this year :rolleyes:

 

Yes make a complaint, the more complaints there are the more inclined the OFT are to investigate.

 

Personally if you have a valid arguement that what Citi are doing is wrong i'd be inclined to also get in touch with your MP.

Citi messed me up in a big way in 2006 - they would not send me SAR as they wanted proof of my old address.. loads of hassle.. in the end I did not get my SAR off them.

 

Now, it is too late to get 6 years worth of charges isn't it? The account was defaulted in 2003 :-x:-x:-x

 

So they have had a Default on my account, plus all the charges (not concerned about the money, I settled the account by paying half)

 

What do I do?

 

Is it possible to get all the statements still or not, do I just demand that the Default is removed?

If they were obstructive in fulfilling your SAR, I would consider getting trading standards involved asking for their assistance in getting Citi to comply with your request.

 

Statute Barred, might be difficult to proceed for a claim against charges unless you have a very good reason - possibly might able to use the reason that the creditor was obstructive in obtaining not supply the documents you requested, but would do a bit of work into this, maybe put a post up in the general section, or search out threads to do with statute barred claims.

 

Default, if the default was made in 2003 it should drop off your credit file this year - but it doesnt harm add to any potential claim you make.

I have been onto the Information Commissioners website, and note that you must have hard copies of evidence from the banks etc to back up complaints, I should have all of this by next month and can start then.

 

I have written a letter to Citi just now to complain, contacted the CRAs regarding them too.

 

I am not concerned about the charges - stuff them. I do want the Default removed and it isn't due to come off until August. Which is a long time really :| If it had been in 3 months, I would have forgotten about it.. but no, I don't see why I should. Citi have been worse than any of them. Their charges were worse than Capital Ones!

Still 40 days, out of interest did you ask for anything like a copy of the executed agreement in your SAR?

No I didn't, just statements etc..

 

I can't request one anyways because it is a terminated and settled account.

 

My only dispute is it comprises of massive charges taking me about £400 over the credit limit with charges only.

 

I want the default removed and am going to claim for the charges back..

Yes, for both my Barclayoan and my credit card.

 

Nothing back except 6 years statements and a note saying "please find enclosed your statements as requested (?)".

 

All statements pre May 2004 were sent as a "Gesture of Good Will" because they say they don't have to send anything that is now on microfilm.

They're not using the old Micropiche arguement are they, think that this was tackled long ago - your probably best looking up this in Barclays forum and not here.

 

From memory think Gizmo111 did something regarding this, albeit thats from memory and a couple of years ago.

Just to add that I received the same crap from Citi in the post this morning together with 11 pages of terms and conditions that bear no resemblance to what I signed up to.

 

 

ccaresponseCITIcropped.jpg

 

 

Also, when I originally signed up for this card in 2000 (can even tell you the day as I was jet lagged and cornered in a service station coming out of the toilets!!) it was not even for Citi it was for a People card. So I was expecting to receive terms and conditions relating to that company...I assume they aren't weren't the same.

 

Am going to write back challenging this and putting the account in dispute.

Does anyone have any specific comments that you believe I should add and/or a template letter for OFT...or is it too early to complain??

I would like to know how we go about this as I have just recieved two reponces from Citi or Piti cards as I call them for two credit agreements that I requested back in May last year.

 

I funny thing is Card #1 was issued by Associates and they have sent me two made up credit agreements with no signitures or copy of the original paperwork I signed.

 

Card #2 was issued by Citi cards and they have aslo sent me two made up agreements one from Associates and also one from Citi Cards :lol:

 

Do these people not look at what they are doing ? this is a clear case of manipulation and false information.. now if they are playing games then this needs to be reported.

 

I have attached the covering letters for someone to review please.
