    • thanks ae - yes  I understand the claims are between me and the lender.  But with regards to the order for sale the judge specifically said it is the receiver who is appointed to sell - and he hasn't/ and isn't - which is why I am asking if I can apply to the court v the receiver for an order for sale right now?   The receiver is not part of the current proceedings heading to trial.  But he is responsible for selling the property - and he has consistently rejected offers over >5y.   This is specifically why I would like to understand if I can apply to the court to enforce the sale ??? As above - The judge has said otherwise the order for sale v the lender has to be dealt with via the trial.  Which they have deliberately delayed via the adjournment. Valuation is an issue. The lender chose the valuer.  I paid but his report basically belongs to and is referred to by the lender.  He did a prof valuation without doing a site visit.  He had done a site visit 5 months earlier for different potential lender.  The 1st valuation he erroneously did as fh.  He just did a re-write 5m later - but kept the same value for lh. I had a great offer on the table from a niche buyer which would have cleared the loan and given me a lot of £s.  But the lender rushed through the repo and the buyer got spooked and ran.  The lender then slashed the price by 30%+ from their valuation (fire sale price?).  As you suggest - they fully expected potential buyers to quickly grab the property at such a discount.  But it turned out they couldn't.  The market had dropped anyway. Then covid hit.  Every potential buyer was questioning the valuation.  The lender and receivers actions have eroded the equity.  This wouldn't make sense to any normal lender.  99.9% would have just sold to the 1st buyer willing to transact.  The lender/ receiver had such a willing buyer on day 1 of marketing.  But they spent 15months trying not to sell to them.  As I said, disclosure shows the ceo wanted (wants?) to keep it for himself - so common sense didn't (doesn't) prevail.   The lender has made a MoneyClaim v me.  I am disputing it because I maintain it is their actions that has caused the erosion of equity/ a debt to accrue. The lender's problem now is that they have spent so much money and added so much interest over 5y that they cannot sell the property for what they need/ want.  They are trying to blame me for this.  But it is their fault; not mine - because I am not in possession or in charge of selling it. As I also said above - if there is some legal reason why I cannot make an application to the court for an order for the receiver to sell - then can I ask the other entity which has a charging order and threatened to do so. ???    
    • We registered our child with a nursery last year for a June 2024 start date. This was before how the new 15 hours free childcare was going to work. At the time my wife paid a £50 deposit. A few weeks ago they sent out an email about how the new funding was going to work. The nurseries can use it as they wish and they said if the child wants to come for one full day we still have to pay £50 and we can't use all the hours for one day. They also drastically increased their day rate. As a result of this we were looking elsewhere and have found a much cheaper nursery so we are changing.  The original nursery now said you only get the deposit back if she starts because it comes out of the first month of fees. I don't think we filled any any form or anything so there were no terms and conditions. Are we entitled to get the deposit back or is it our fault for not asking what the terms were when we paid. 
    • Hi Baldilocks. Welcome to CAG. I've done some minor formatting edits to your post to make it easier to read for people on mobile. Try to keep to 1 or 2 sentences max before creating a line break in your post. It's the Consumer Rights Act 2015, not the Sale of Goods Act 2015. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 superseded The Sale Of Goods Act 1979 and the latter does not apply as I imagine this purchase was made after 1st October 2015. Can you confirm the make and model of the vehicle? Some vehicles have their service history stored within the on board computers now or have it available to view online at any point. How did you pay for the vehicle? Finance (what type), Debit/Credit Card etc? I would argue, that should the above points not be correct, you would be right to claim that the goods are not as described under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.  
    • Thanks everyone for all your help, but unfortunately my case was dismissed. This is the 2nd time I've had this happen now so I doubt ill be taking on any parking firms in future sadly. The judge said I lost it on the grounds that the sign said I had 28 days to declare who the owner of the vehicle was, and said I should have complied with this.  My costs are Judgment for the claimant £133.33 Issue fee Hearing fee Solicitors costs - total £265 grand total £398.33 Do those costs look about right?

    • 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.

Hello.

Many of us suspect that banks hold information on us that go back beyond the 6 year statutory limit but when you send a SAR, that’s usually all they send you. I was wondering - has anyone complained to the ICO about this and have the ICO checked it?

I have no idea where you come up with this idea of a six-year statutory limit.

 

There is no such limit. If you supply a subject access request then the institution that you are dealing with is required to supply all data which they hold on you – regardless of the age of it.

 

Of course some of the banks have been up to dirty tricks. In the past, Santander, Barclays, Lloyds have tried to withhold data that is older than six years. Some of them have said that they no longer hold it. In fact all of these institutions hold data going back at least two the year 2000 and in fact about 10 years ago I interviewed a woman who had previously worked for the archive centre of the Abbey National – subsequently Abbey – subsequently Santander and she told me that they kept all their data going back to 1933 at an archive centre in Leighton Buzzard.

 

I have no idea whether this still exists or has been destroyed. NatWest and RBS have an archive centre somewhere – but I can't remember where. Lloyds have an archive centre in Andover and if you search this form for Lloyds and Andover, you will find the address because I posted it up 2 or 3 times now.

 

Quite recently I spoke to some Lloyds staff at their PPI centre and one of them told me that she herself didn't realise that they kept data older than six years. She was under the impression that it was no longer available because it had been destroyed. These are the kind of dirty tricks that Lloyds plays on its customers and they manipulate their own staff in order to achieve their ends.

Brilliant, thank you. The bank concerned is HSBC and the loan was, unfortunately, back in 1998. I have once, many years ago, sent a SAR and they said something like they only keep it for six years. So, if I do it again and get the same answer, what then, please? Also, do Experian, etc keep records going back that far?

Apologies for this, I cannot find them.

However, could someone point me towards the appropriate SAR to send HSBC for my data on this wonderful site. I am unable to find it, but then my navigation skills are not good....they're awful!!!

Although I am sending an SAR by post,

I rang HSBC up earlier and it took 30 minutes for the person to tell me that they can see that I have had 5 loans and one 'Flexiloan' account,

he could only see the dates of 5 May 2004 and 7 December 2015 and said that he will "pass on the request for more details,

including whether or not I had PPI to the 'Specialist Team' to double check"

and noted that HSBC had sent me a letter in 2013 declaring that they could see that I had loans

, due to the Data Protection Act,

they do not hold data for more than six years'.

 

I have asked for a copy of this letter to be sent again to me.

 

Thoughts?

Finally got this for you....and then some:

 

Don't hate me for this but before I get around to sending a SAR, I just thought, out of curiosity, I would try them direct.

 

This is what I received - they include the quotes 'ensure records are identified and securely retained for the appropriate period of time, and destroyed / deleted in a controlled manner on expiry of the retention period' and

 

'Please note that we only hold paperwork for the last 6 years in accordance with The Data Protection Act'.

 

Your thoughts, please?

those the exact words used to IMS21 and myself from HFC back in the day. [which is why I mentioned them]

 

we actually found out that they had not destroyed the data outside of 6yrs at all.it was a lie!.

 

if remember correctly we both sent a request in for a signed certificate of destruction from the data controller guaranteeing that the data has been securely destroyed, they then suddenly found it all.

That is just wonderful!!!

SAR it is then. However, I think I'll send that letter to the Data Controller....just got to find out who it is!!

 

However, now due to GDRP, won't Banks be jumping to attention and actually deleting all this data (for their own benefits)?

Sorry for the delay here, is this what I should now do?

 

I have sent an SAR by Recorded Delivery last week but I'd like to address this letter, if I can.

 

Is there a specific template to ask for proof that they have destroyed / no longer have the data?

 

As soon as you let me know, I'll get on it!!

Update here:

On 7th January I sent the following SAR to HSBC by 'signed for' post:

HSBC Bank Plc

8 Canada Square,

London,

E14 5HQ

 

 

7th January 2019

 

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

 

GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATIONS - SUBJECT ACCESS REQUEST

ACCOUNT /REF NUMBER xxx

 

[template removed - please read its top line! - dx]

 

Up to this point, all I have received are two letters both addressing a loan each but both stating that they no longer have records of them. This is not what I asked for.

The latest letter, received this week, is below:

 

(I tried to upload it as a PDF after I had converted it but I received a message saying that 'you do not have permission to upload that file or format'??)

There is no provision in the data protection act that says that data must be destroyed after six years. It simply requires that data is not held longer than is necessary.

 

Is the account you are referring to closed or not closed? Are you currently a customer of this bank?

Thank you.

I am still a customer. I have more than one account with them. Of the six different 'loan accounts', I still have one, I think.

I'm quite cheesed off that they seem to be viewing the SAR as simply a token request for details of the loans. Am I being too sceptical here....or do they know exactly what they are doing here?

You can try something like this:

 

Dear Sir,

 

Thank you for your letter of the XXX date.

 

You claim that you no longer have the data I require because you are required by the data protection act to destroy it after six years.

You should understand that I'm fully aware that the data protection act contains no such provision – but if you insist that it does then please let me know the particular section of the Data Protection Act which contains the obligation.

 

Accordingly I reject your position that you do not have the data and I believe that you are withholding the data from me because you feel that it would be disadvantageous to you to provide it to me. It maybe that the data is within some archive service and of which you are fully aware.

 

If it is your position that the data has been destroyed then please will you provide a certificate of destruction from your data controller.

 

I should warn you that I am sending your letter of the XXX date containing your misleading information about the Data Protection Act to the information Commissioner as part of the complaint.

If you do not provide me with a certificate of destruction signed by your data controller then I will add that to the information Commissioner's complaint as well.

 

I would also remind you that you have a duty to treat your customers fairly and in particular to communicate with them fairly. This is a statutory duty created by the Financial Conduct Authority.

 

By attempting to mislead me as to your Data Protection obligations, you are already in breach of your statutory duty. It would now be helpful if you would begin to treat your responsibilities according to law in order to avoid further complaints.

 

Yours faithfully
