    • 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.

Got a problem with MINT credit card (RBS).

 

I have had the card for about 7 or 8 years now.

When I first applied for it on the internet and was approved,

I never used it very much.

 

My husband also had a card as a second card holder.

He ran into serious credit card debt problems and in a desperate attempt before finally going under, he transferred just under £6000.- onto this MINT card as a balance transfer.

He then went bankrupt and had his debts basically written off.

 

I am however now landed with £6000 on this MINT card for which I am liable I have been told.

 

I came to an agreement with MINT to repay the amount at £26.- per month until the balance is repaid.

They stopped interest and charges and refunded all charges they ever levied.

 

This agreement has been in place since 2006 and I have got the written agreement from them in letter form to confirm the £26 per month until the amount is repaid.

Currently the oustanding balance is £5216.03

 

Now two months ago they sent me a letter to say the 'temporary agreement' on my account was due to be reviewed and my new monthly payment was £144.-

 

I sent them a letter back explaining that the agreement was never temporary but permanent and sent them a copy of their own letter dated 2006.

I sent that recorded and they received it.

I heard nothing in reply.

 

Today I got a new bill showing my minimum payment as £2379.- per month and the footnote that I had failed to make a minimum payment.

 

I have maintained my £26 / month religiously since 2006, I assume they are referring to the £144.- they imposed last month

 

I have written them another letter back explaining the situation, but is there anything else I can do ?

marvellous they always get greedy in the end.

..you could send for your agreement and we will advise on enforceability..

..the letter templates for this are in the library on this site..

 

..if the agreement is unenforceable then theoretically you could start to withhold payment.

..this may give you a lever in order to get the original agreement you had back in place

 

...i am wondering though what they would do if you continued just to pay what they agreed to?

they would certainly look silly in court when you produce the letter..

..personally i would send for agreement and take it from there

I applied for the card on the internet at the time so don't have any paperwork here myself. They just sent me the card at the time as far as I remember.

 

No, I haven't CCA'd them yet, as the application is post 2000 I thought they would most likely have an enforceable agreement as I was under the impression it is mainly the pre-2000 ones that are sometimes either gone or iffy.

As I have already made payments since 2006 , is that not an acknowledgement of the debt anyway ?

 

I find it strange that they just up the payment from our agreed £26.- to £144.- without any communication and then say I failed to make a minimum payment and up it to over £2000.- the next month. All without any letters or communication. That is just what is printed on my monthly statements.

They should realize themselves that this is ridiculous. £2000.- is double my monthly salary.

 

So you suggest I CCA them anyway and see what they have in hand ?

I have got an old credit card debt with MINT cards,

 

 

I have been paying them off at £27.- per month for years and have got around £3000.- left to pay.

 

They have now given this debt to Wescot to manage (sometime last year).

 

I haven't received any statements since then, but continue to make my monthly payments to MINT.

 

Aren't they obliged to send statements

To manage, or did they sell it?

 

You should get a statement at least once a year.

 

have you ever CCA'd mint?

 

because paying them 27 a month for years, and they havent done anything.... its pretty strange. Normally theyd have either sold it on, or taken you to court themselves.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

I would suspect interest is frozen so theres no need for statement

 

 

you can safely ignore wetcloths

they don't buy debts

so I would suspect if you read their letter its says 'our client' and that will be RBS.

Thanks for merging threads.

Interest is frozen and RBS / Mint agreed quite a while ago to accept £27.- per month until the balance is paid off.

I received monthly statements but they have now stopped. Haven't had one since last August.

 

Wescot just said they are managing the debt, I don't think they actually bought it.

 

Their letter gave me new account details to make payment to, or alternatively if I had a standing order to MINT I could just continue to pay like that and Mint / RBS would ensure the money is allocated correctly.

 

So if they send me a statement once a year that will be fine ?

as I said read the wetcloths letter

it will say our client..who is?

 

 

wetcloths don't buy debts.

 

 

yes you are correct the owner of the debt should sent an annual statement.

The letter says ' your royal bank of scotland account is now being managed directly by Wescot'

It says they have taken over the management. So no, they haven't bought it.

RBS (MINT) used to send me a monthly statement but stopped sometime in August last year.

So I'll probably get an annual one now.

I have got an old Mint Credit card debt (RBS) for which I have got an instalment plan in place.

 

I am paying £27 per month , MINT at the time agreed I could pay this until the balance has been repaid.

 

I have stuck to this religiously for years but still have got around £2500 left to pay.

 

Never had any problems, but Mint / RBS sold this to Wescot and they are now harrassing me and saying they would like me to make a settlement offer or otherwise an account review has to take place.

 

I told them I have an instalment plan in place which is in place until the balance has been fully repaid and sent them the letter from MINT confirming this.

They have totally ignored it and keep on sending me income & expenditure letters and chasers.

 

I told them again to stop this as an account review is not required as I will be paying £27 per month until its repaid, but they don't seem to be interested.

 

Is there anything else I can do or should I just start to ignore them ?

They sent me a letter saying RBS doesn't legally own this debt anymore and I now must pay them (Wescot) direct and come to an agreement with them. (?)

They gave me new bank account details to make payment to (I always paid Mint / RBS direct previously)

 

This is part of their drive to get me to make a settlement offer and conduct a review of the account.

 

So they make it sound as if they bought the debt.

But there is also Cabot involved.

 

Their letter states their own reference, than a client reference (which is my old credit card number) and then it says Client is Cabot Financial owned Royal Bank of Scotland.

 

So I am not sure who owns it now after all.

 

So if Wescot is the DC, maybe Cabot bought it from RBS.

Anyway, they say RBS is no longer the legal owner....

 

So currently I am writing letters with Wescot, but they don't seem to understand that there is an instalment agreement in place with the original lender.

stop payment

whomever owns it will soon scream.

 

then it says Client is Cabot Financial owned Royal Bank of Scotland.

 

the above does make sense.
