    • 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.

    • 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)

    • 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.

It would probably be in their best interest to come to an arrangement with you, as if they proceeded to court your income & expenditure would be taken into consideration of any award the court would make...... RBS could even be awarded £1 a month by a judge if your income was really low.

 

However as with these things RBS believe it can intimidate and harass people to part with money they haven't got, despite it being against the law (protection from harassment act), and the administration of justice act which Trading Standards can use to prosecute in the instance of their phoning you at unreasonable intervals.

 

I would number one suggest that you write to RBS informing them that you now wish to deal with this matter only in writing, and that you are complaining to the Office Of Fair Trading regarding the frequency of their phone calls which you believe to amount to harassment..... i.e. if they phone every week it could be tantamount to harassment let alone daily, which is clear harassment.

 

OFTs address is:

 

Contact us - The Office of Fair Trading

 

If they continue to persist get in touch with your local trading standards and explain the situation, that you have tried to come to an arrangement with the bank, but they refuse to negotiate and continually call each day (or whatever the period is).

 

The threats to take you to court normally are just that, threats, they very, very rarely do so - as in the instance of yourself it probably wouldn't be to their benefit. Last thing they want to do is get a court order that restricts them to £1 a month, after all the expense of hiring solicitors to put in the leg work etc.

 

The cheek of this situation is that RBS were trading insolvently for a prolonged period, their reserves were dry and they went cap in hand to the government for bailout after bailout after bailout funded by tax payers. And now they put the thumb screws on the tax payer who also happens to be their customer to get you to pay up.

 

I am aware of a number of RBS customers who purchased shares in the issue shortly before they hit trouble who are challenging that the state of the company was misrepresented during the offer. So honesty is not the companies strong point.

 

So now the decision is yours?

 

You can either:

 

1) Try to achieve a negotiated plan with RBS, or there are services such as the Consumer Credit Counciling Service who should be able to help.

 

2) Or alternatively you can go the route to see if the executed agreement is legally compliant.

 

I am not sure of the legalities of your living in N.Ireland but I could enquire if you wanted.

OK, firstly I think the thing is to remain calm.

 

A lot of collection activity is the manipulation of the customers lack of knowledge, a lot of banks and DCAs will ignore law, regulations, and the banking code.

 

I would suggest keeping a log of the phone calls which you receive, submit a complaint to the Office Of Fair Trading along with a copy of the sheet.

 

20 times a day also seems somewhat excessive, and definitely amounts to harassment, contact your local trading standards as well with a complaint.

You are in a situation of hardship, under the banking code of which RBS are a signatory they are meant to treat you in a fair and understanding manner. After all it's not that you are trying to escape the debt, but are trying to come to an arrangement which is affordable in your current circumstances.

 

From the banks point of view threats of legal action are normally that, again you are being reasonable, you are not trying to get out of not paying your debt. In fact if they were to take you to court (again very unlikely) a judge would take your circumstances into consideration and you could end up paying as little a £1 a month if your income is very low.

 

There is something that you could ask them, something of a side issue, ask them "what tangible asset backs the currency known as Pounds Sterling?", and refer them to RBS if they are unaware.

 

On another note you may find this video interesting, with relation to currency, politics etc:

It's likely that they probably used the word "may", or "could", a lot of these threats are idle and an attempt to extract money from you - pure and simple.

 

Though obviously you will never get RBS admitting to using intimidation tactics, or harassment as regard the amount of calls there are making - if an official body such as Trading Standards got involved, a company that used such tactics would either not address their previous actions or say it was an error.

Hi ulsterman,

 

As Triton (who are based in Telford) are involved it is more than llikely that your account has been passed to CMS Telford and that your account(s) have been allocated what is called a "Router Account" write to Triton and ask them if you have been allocated a " Router Account" and ask them to supply you with all the details of this Router Account including its Number.

This is RBS's achilles heel and is of severe embarrassment and trouble for RBS.

 

If and when you receive this infomration both myself and/or Paul Walton would appreciate copies of this information if you would kindly agree to supply it to us.

 

Call them first and record the conversation and ask Triton about the Router Account ...I have a feeling that this will stop them in their tracks

 

regards

 

sparkie

 

That will cause them a few problems
