    • 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.

My first action against the banks is about ready for posting. The story so far.......

 

Posted Charges Request against BOS Credit Cards 05/09/06.

Recieved statements of charges 20/10/06.

Charges period 17/06/02 to 22/08/06 total charges = £462.00.

 

Sorry if any of the following questions are dumb but I want to make sure that I follow the right proceedures.

Should I claim this total plus the 8% interest set up on the simple spreadsheet or keep it to the charges only.:?:

Is the Request refund doc letter the correct one to use for the first request of a refund or is there one for credit card charges as the only one I found is for the second and final letter before court action.:?:

Look fordward to your help.:-)

Advice given is purely my opinion, and is not based on any legal training.

Hello and Welcome.

 

In the first instance you should claim the charges only, the 8% interest is only applied once you actually file a court claim.

 

The first letter you refer to is called the Prelim letter and can be found here.

Or you may wish to use this one.

Both can be found in the Templates Library, which is here.

I have just filled out my claim form for the sheriff court and would like some assistance from you all on the wording of two of the sections.

Claim form Decree........

The Pursuer claims from the defender the sum of £462.00 with the interest on that sum at the rate of 8% from the date of the service for each charge (together with the expenses of bringing the action)

 

Details of Claim

The Claimant, xxx xxxx has held a Credit Card with the defendant since on or before xx/xx/xx the account number being 0000 0000 0000 0000. The defendant has deducted from the account various amounts of money in penalty charges during the period 17/06/2002 to 22/08/06. These were in respect of Late Payments, Over Limit, Unpaid Direct Debits and one Returned cheque.

The claimant contends that these charges were legally unenforceable and the claimant is demanding the repayment of the money. The defender has refused payment of the monies due.( Copies of the correspondence can be provided)

No admissions are made by the claimant as to the incorporation of any term into the contract between the claimant and the defendant purporting to entitle the defendant to levy these charges. If the defendant is able to establish that the contract did contain such terms, the claimant will content these charges are unenforceable at law, being penalty charges designed to penalize the claimant for a breach of contract and generate profit for the defendant rather than being liquidated damages designed to compensate the defendant for the actual loss occurring to the defendant as a result of the breach.

The claimant claims from the defendant a sum equivalent to the amount unlawfully debited to the claimant’s account in the period from 17/06/2002 to 22/08/06. The sums are detailed in the attached schedule.

The contractual provision that permits the Defendant to levy such charges is unenforceable by virtue of the Unfair Contract Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations (1999), the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 and the common law.

The Defender has a branch in xxxxxxxxx therefore it is under the jurisdiction of thiscourt.

Any view on the above would be greatly appreciated

Hi Pict, I got your PM. Thanks for asking me to to take a look. I'm not sure I'm the best guy for this, though. I'm no expert at the English POC's, but the Scottish ones really need checking by a Scottish claims guy. They look OK to me, but you really need to get the OK from someone like RobertXC, if you can.

 

I'm more of a spreadsheet critter masel' so I would suggest a coupla things here. I am currently claiming from HBOS for a BoS account, but I am claimingthrough their Halifax office, and using the English court system, as I'm more familiar with it. I am using the POC's which claim "in the alternative" for the lower rates of interest. This way, the claim is initially for the max. conractual rate, but has a "safety net" fallback of (a) the lower rate, and (b) the Statutory rate. I would seriously suggest you check that before submitting your claim as it is. Remember - you can't go back for the rest later !!

 

Hope that helps, mate.

 

Bill.

 

Or - "Yoor Wullie !!!"

The POC is incorrect. As it stands at the moment, your interest will only accrue from the date of service - that is, the date your summons reaches the bank.

 

What you need to do is calculate the interest for each charge, and then include the new figure in your claim. So, if your claim is for £462 without interest, then it might become something like £600 with interest. This is the sum you will be claiming. The 8% from the date of service is added to the whole amount while the claim is going through the court - and in actual fact you probably won't get that part. (it won't amount to very much anyway).

Robertxc v. Abbey - £3300 Settled in full

Robertxc v. Clydesdale - £750 Settled in full

Nationwide v. Robertxc - £2000 overdraft wiped out, Default removed by order of the sheriff

Robertxc v. Style Card - Default removed by order of the sheriff

Robertxc v. Abbey (1) - Data Protection Act action. £750 compensation

Robertxc v. Abbey (2) - Data Protection Act action. £2000 compensation, default removed

County Courts Act 1984??? Are you claiming in England or scotland? If Scotland, try this:
