    • Hi Lolerz Thanks for replying to me, yes I've been ignoring her & will continue to do so. All she keeps saying is they want to come up with an amicable settlement. Keeps saying this to our receptionist she shouldn't be saying this to a receptionist or even me in the first place as they have given no proof of anything no IP addresses noting just keeps saying about an amicable settlement.
    • If a DCA supplies a reconstituted copy of the CCA what would be the next step? It seems that a reconstituted copy must be a " true copy " of the executed agreement, it must contain the Prescribed Terms. But given that there is no copy of the applicants signature surely it could be an agreement form with the details filled in. How can it be assumed that this " copy " represents a true copy that the claimant has supposed to have signed. Cabot have demonstrated a bit of sabre rattling when they say "Until we're able to provide this information , your account is unenforceable. This means we're not permitted to obtain a County Court judgement against you . Whilst we cannot pursue legal action, your balance remains outstanding ". I looked up a case... Cabot UK Ltd  v  Bachellier (2010) which might help, but it's tough reading, I'd prefer to plough through War and Peace. This particular case with Cabot is not huge , approx' £140, but the only other worry that I have is also with Cabot...£2100. They may try to make a point with lesser case.
    • you'll never find a court open on a w/end MB. all courts are closed Good Friday and Bank Holiday Monday. However as Andy points out, that does NOT mean you get 2 extra days to file, you get one, same as xmas/new Year. UKPC have not filed their, so no rush on yours as dave says.

    • 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.

I sent my letter to the RBS on 21st Feb i'm not to sure of the next step do i wait 40 days to see if they will send me the list of charges they have applied on my account in the last 6 years or do i start with the court action straight away as the 7 days have gone.

They will probably regard this as restarting the clock again on the 40 days but you may have no choice. They should have at least acknowledged your letter by now. Are some of your charges on the brink of being more than 6 months old? I had the same type of problem with Nat West (owned by RBS) in that, whilst they replied, they were trying to run out the clock so I've now sued them for an estimated amount.

 

If you don't face the same problen, it would probably just be best to resend it by recorded delivery.

As another option i will go and pull out all my bank statements and see if i can come up with an estimate amount to just take it to court, as i can see they maybe avoiding the letter and to show i'm serious proceed to the next step with out the list of charges.

My most recent charge was end of Feburary for £145 all on 1 day my charges go back a long time and i'm sure they owe me alot of money, i'm not to sure what's the better thing to do as i'm travelling at the end of the month and don't want them to think i'm not serious.

Just as i was ready to post the letter recorded delivery i recieved a letter from RBS 'if i should exceed what we have agreed then their standard charges will apply as a good will gesture they have refunded me with £28 plus the last charge of £38'.

Obviously they think this is the end I WANT ALL OF IT BACK!!!! HELP what do i do next as i still haven't received the list of charges and want to pursue to the end but as i stated before i'm going on holiday end of the month so i would really like to get this going.

I take it that you haven't had your list of charges yet so send them an abrupt reminder.

They tried this "goodwill gesture for the most recent charge" on me, hoping I would be daft enough to accept. I then wrote and told them I wanted ALL the charges refunding. In the end they paid up.

Stick to your guns. Give them the "14 days or court action" threat

Go for it all. Its your money, you are entitled to it

Good Luck,

Thanks for advice, just wanted to know should i combine the 2 letters the one regarding the data protection act and also the abrupt letter requesting a full refund within 14 days without the total amount owed?

No because then your deadlines become ambiguous. 40 days DPA, 14 days to settle. Doesn't work

We used to have a template letter which combined them in the way you suggest. It only caused problems and confusion.

Ok well i've drafted the 40 days letter but stated this started from the date of my first inital letter which gives them until next week. Should i wait for the response on this before i conclude with the 14 days notice of full refund required?

Did your original letter include £10?

It needs £10 for it to be a valid DPA request. This gives the bank a legitimate reason for non-compliance

I'm now back from holiday and yesterday i went into my local branch to pay in a cheque the advisor there mentioned my over draft and the interest i am paying. She informed me that last month they have devised a scheme to be able to approve a loan to clear the overdraft which you pay back at an amount you can afford.

Cut a long story short got a call from the advisior today to discuss she pointed out to me the amount of charges that have been applied to my account and if they was to put me on this new scheme they will take back my switch card for 6 months to help stop the charges i mentioned to her that when i do receive my charges back that this will cover my overdraft and that this is a problem that the bank need to be dealing with and have informed her of the information i requested since March and soon as this has been received that i will be in a poistion to discuss this further.

Now my letter was date 16th March do i include the weekends when counting down the 40days as this is due on Tuesday?
