    • Massive issues from Scottish Power I wonder if someone could advise next steps. Tennant moved out I changed the electric into my name I was out the country at the time so I hadn't been to the flat. During sign up process they tried to hijack my gas supply as well which I made it clear I didn't want duel fuel from them but they still went ahead with it. Phoned them up again. a few days later telling them to make sure they stopped it but they said too late ? had to get my current supplier to cancel it. Paid £50 online to ensure there was money covering standing charges etc eventually got to the flat no power. Phoned Scottish Power 40 minutes to get through they state I have a pay as you go meter and that they had set me up on a credit account so they need to send an engineer out which they will pass my details onto. Phone called from engineer asking questions , found out the float is vacant so not an emergency so I have to speak to Scottish Power again. Spoke with the original person from Scottish Power who admitted a mistake (I had told her it was vacant) and now states that it will take 4 weeks to get an appointment but if I want to raise a complaint they will contact me in 48 hours and it will be looked at quicker. Raised a complaint , complaints emailed me within 24 hours to say it will take 7 days till he speaks with me. All I want is power in the property would I be better switching over to EON who supply the gas surely they could sort it out quicker? One thing is for sure I will never bother with Scottish Power ever again.

    • 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.

Yes it did and was taken over by Goldfish then Barclays, in which I have been maintaining requested monthly payments.

 

What should I do regarding 8% simple application - Should I dispute it with barclays first asking for clarification of said policy or should I go to FOS ?

Oh ok but might have to give them a call about it anyway, as contact has given me her details to discuss further if need be.

 

Good question and sorry to sound stupid but not really sure. The letter just states Card Protection Insurance (CPI) complaint on your Barclaycard account but prior to January 2005.

 

I have already received a refund cheque from CPP for post January 2005.

 

Do you know if the application of 8% interest is correct ? If so should I have not received amount (not against balance) less tax, and premium refund deducted from card balance ?

due to the weak agreement to resolve the cpp issue,it was agreed interest was only refundable at 8% and BC seem to have followed this, although obviously you were charged compound interest on your account. The 8% should in any case have been refunded to you less 20% tax which you can reclaim if a non taxpayer. Personally I would argue it out with BC on both counts

PLEASE HELP US TO KEEP THIS SITE RUNNING

Any help I am able to give is from my own experience only. Should you have any doubt you should contact a qualified professional.

Many thanks for your reply. Where can I find details regarding this decision ? Or am I probably wasting my time ?

 

Don't really want another issue with FOS at the moment as have no confidence in them. May have to just accept it as can see this dragging on for another few years !

Hi

my OH took out a FA Premiership Barclaycard Visa account in September 2001 (now paid up and closed) and

 

 

on recently checking old statements, she had been paying PPI.

To be honest she didn't have a clue about PPI at the time and what it was all about.

 

I got her to send a SAR and she received most of the statements.

Terms & Conditions and a grainy microfiche copy of the application.

She is sure that it was applied for via her Barclays branch in London and over the phone.

 

The copy of the application is mostly unreadable and looks as if Barclays have typed it up,

including 'X' against employment, other cards, annual income boxes etc

apart from the Payment Protection Insurance box,

where the 'X' has been badly penned in ?

 

They have also marked 'X's' against her signature and date for her to sign and the insurance wording states,

'For a small monthly premium this insurance will cover your payments if you are unable to work etc...

........Please tick the above box if you require protection.'

 

There is no wording or any other explanation as to what was covered or excluded, cost etc.

 

She also contacted Barclays and they confirmed that insurance was added and

they sent out a questionnaire to be completed with a covering letter.

The letter requested details of how the policy was sold and how conditions were disclosed

including copy of original agreement, statements showing PPI and policy schedule ?

 

Do you think she has a case for miss-selling on the basis of the above ?

She also had a very good employment redundancy, sickness, death in service cover

and company shares in which she sold some to pay up and close the account.

 

I have read up on forum regarding some unsuccessful claims with Barclays

and just wondered if anyone had a similar case

and can confirm that it was probably applied by post or completed at a branch.

 

Any advice would be most appreciated.

I would say that you need to use the fact that the PPI is not pre ticked

 

 

and has been entered by hand.

 

 

could she have done it?

 

 

or was it an advisor or bank clerk after the commission/bonus?

 

 

if it was done over the phone

theres no way it her tick!!

Thanks dx as always.

 

That's what is confusing the issue, as she does not remember anything about asking for PPI.

 

The application is a very bad copy as parts are unreadable and the penned 'X' is just about readable, but others are clearly typed in.

 

 

My OH has signed and dated it but as I said someone has put 'X' s against where she was to sign it ?

 

 

There also seems to be another faint penned 'X' under the insurance section as well.

 

I can also just about make-out a Servicing Branch Details field where a penned number has been entered

and also a staff and application reference that has also been written in pen ?

 

Should my OH be asking for the actual CCA details ?

Or just proceed with completing questionnaire saying that she never agreed to the PPI being added as she would not have needed it ?

 

They also did not provide statements from Sept 2001 to Sept 2002 as per her SAR and no explanation as to why not ?

and in writing only

  • 3 weeks later...

Just been checking my OH Barclays SAR details and came across a single insurance premium amount at start of her barclayloan.

 

Can someone kindly confirm if the calculations are correct ?

 

Loan Amount £10,000

Insurance Premium Amount £3,035.42

Monthly Repayment Amount £238.68

 

£3,035.42 / £13,035.42 x 100 = 23.29%

 

£238.68 x 23.29% = £55.59 (Insurance part of monthly payment)

 

Cheers
