    • Thank-you dx, What you have written is certainly helpful to my understanding. The only thing I would say, what I found to be most worrying and led me to start this discussion is, I believe the judge did not merely admonish the defendant in the case in question, but used that point to dismiss the case in the claimants favour. To me, and I don't have your experience or knowledge, that is somewhat troubling. Again, the caveat being that we don't know exactly what went on but I think we can infer the reason for the judgement. Thank-you for your feedback. EDIT: I guess that the case I refer to is only one case and it may never happen again and the strategy not to appeal is still the best strategy even in this event, but I really did find the outcome of that case, not only extremely annoying but also worrying. Let's hope other judges are not quite so narrow minded and don't get fixated on one particular issue as FTMDave alluded to.

    • the claimant in their WS can refer to whatever previous CC judgements they like, as we do in our WS's, but CC judgements do not set a legal precedence. however, they do often refer to judgements like Bevis, those cases do created a precedence as they were court of appeal rulings. as for if the defendant, prior to the raising of a claim, dobbed themselves in as the driver in writing during any appeal to the PPC, i don't think we've seen one case whereby the claimant referred to such in their WS.. ?? but they certainly typically include said appeal letters in their exhibits. i certainly dont think it's a good idea to 'remind' them of such at the defence stage, even if the defendant did admit such in a written appeal. i would further go as far to say, that could be even more damaging to the whole case than a judge admonishing a defendant for not appealing to the PPC in the 1st place. it sort of blows the defendant out the water before the judge reads anything else. dx

    • 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 there

 

Just to say, I've been browsing these pages for the past few months now and I'm just about to begin trying to claw back all the money the Bank of Scotland have lifted from my account over the years...

 

I'm just off the phone to Bank of Scotland's phonebank, and I've requested my statements going back to when the account was originally opened (mid-2001). The charge for this was £5 for all of them. I just wanted to let others know, that this may probably be an easier process than attempting the slightly more costly and time-consuming method of a data protection act request.

 

I was told on the phone that the last few years statements should be with me within the next few days, while statements for earlier years may take 7-10 days to arrive as they need to be accessed from archive.

 

Once they arrive, I'll start going through them with a highligher pen and make that claim and let others on the forum know how I get on...

 

...off the top of my head, I'm probably looking at somewhere just under the £1000 mark, although it may be more. In the past few months, I got overdrawn once by around £70, and never managed to really get on top of this until I started a new job. That £70 has cost me around £500 in various charges.

 

e.g.

3July: £20

10July: £20

11July: £20

14July: £20

17July: £20

 

Similar amounts have left my account every month since February...

 

I'll keep the forums up to date on any successes!

 

Also, would there be any chance that the forums could be separated in a better way- there seems to be confusion between Royal Bank of Scotland and Bank of Scotland. Bank of Scotland would probably be better placed with the Halifax- it has no connection with RBS whatsoever (other than them both being 'Scottish' banks!) PS This isn't meant as a gripe against the forum- it's bloody brilliant!

You might find it's more than you think!

 

Good luck.

So, I've just realised it's one hell of a lot more than I thought...

 

£2,469.54

 

I'm truly shocked.

 

I'm based in Scotland, so it looks like I'd better use an English court to do the legal stuff- I've a friend based in Manchester, and she's happy to use her address.

 

That's enough cash for me to pay off an egg loan I have and clear half the balance on a credit card.

 

I'm also about to set off getting around £100-150 back from Sainsbury's bank credit card and perhaps some dosh from egg too...

 

Thanks again for this website- I'll post my progress here.

So, I totalled all of it up and sent my 1st letter off to Bank of Scotland, The Mound, Edinburgh. The 2 week deadline is up in 2 days time, and I've just come home to a reply from the bank. It was postmarked PO Box 148, Glasgow. It says:

 

"Thank you for your recent letter. I was sorry to learn that you are unhappy with the service provided by the Bank of Scotland.

 

We are keen to deal with your concerns and are currently investigating your complaint regarding the charges debited to your account. You will receive our full response shortly.

 

You will find enclosed a copy of our leaflet, which tells you how we handle your complaint. Your concerns will be dealt with as quickly as possible, but if you need to speak to us in the meantime, please telephone us on 01422 333465, quoting the above reference.

 

Your Sincerely

 

Sarah Bradley

Customer Services"

 

 

My letter to them gave them one month to respond. Should I now send a second letter and stick to my 28 day deadline before action, or await their response and then set a new deadline?

 

Many thanks,

Andrew.

Just take them to court using the moneyclaim website!

 

I wouldn't mess about with their customer complaints dept. They are just trying to delay and fob you off. Send them a letter before action (LBA) if you haven't already and follow this up with the court action. This will set the timesacles for your claim as they have to respond within 14 days etc. You will probably get the same standard letters from them and then their Solicitors after the court action has started. Accept any lower offers only as part settlement and wait until they offer you the full amount. They do not want to go to court! Look at some of the other **settled in full** threads in the Royal Bank of Scotland forum on this site.

 

I would send the letters recorded delivery so they can't say they haven't received them. I've had endless messing around with this so far - including a letter saying they haven't received a special delivery letter two weeks after I sent it.

Hi Andy,

 

Will be following your thread closely!! I am currently awaiting the complete info request from BoS and will be claiming through the English courts as well, as like you, I have friends in England whose address I can use.

Darren :p
