    • Thanks very much Bank. I have topped and tailed my LOC and printed off a copy which I shall post tomorrow by First Class post at my local post office and also obtain a proof of postage. I'll also email them a copy. I've opened a MoneyClaim account, and shall now begin work on my draft Particulars of Claim which I shall post here for your thoughts. And I shan't be using the Moderation service.
    • Yes, it struck me this morning that I'd got it wrong    - no involvement of UKPPO in any previous Tesco thread    - there would have been an entrance sign to a Tesco car park    - CCTV isn't something associated with Tesco car parks. Presumably whoever runs the car park has put CCTV at the electric, and probably BB, areas, done absolutely nothing to stop abuse, and then rubs their hands in glee every time the CCTV catches a motorist out. You can pay £60 and this will go away. Or you can defy UKPPO and rely on their non-respect of POFA, consideration period, etc., should they be daft enough to do court later down the line.  We would support you all the way.
    • thats not the way to do it sorry. sorry so what is your problem? that vanquis paid the £560 or that they are now chasing it? how old is this debt? dx  
    • If you visited Qatar you could be detained at the border, if the debt has been notified.  If you are only in transit and do not seek to cross border into Qatar you might be ok, but you may want to seek formal advice about this.
    • Howdy, I had a short lived credit card with Vanquis that I did not need. I paid it off in full and called them and closed it with the person at the other end. 2 months later they started sending me messages about late payments, I called them and to find out that the card had not been closed in error and 6 weeks after it should have been closed they paid a google debit of £560. I hit the roof and made a formal complaint that took them well over a month to respond to. They agreed they were at fault, refunded all late payments fees and offered me £100 in compensation. However they said the debit amount stood as 'I had benefit from it' and I should get a refund from google. I hit the roof again but they have stuck to their guns. The debit from google is a genuine one but I wanted to dispute it with google so closed the card so they would have to engage with me. But surely that's neither here nor there surely? What is the next step? Ombudsman takes forever doesn't it?  thanks in advance

    • 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.

Don't know if this will be of any use/help but.....

 

Lombard Direct have refused to accept my token payment 'offers' of £5 per month, despite them having sight of my personal budget sheet & list of creditors.

 

They have therefore issued me with a section 87(1) Default Notice - and charged me £25 :mad: for the 'pleasure'. Their (standard) letter waffles on about me contacting them to discuss any payment difficulties I might be having, and any proposals I have for clearing the arrears. Of course, they have already had all this info in writing. I have made a claim on my payment protection insurance (as a result of my redundancy) of which they are aware (but seem to choose to ignore). However, their Insurance Company (unlike several others to whom I have made claims) have not yet made any payments to Lombard.

 

I therefore wrote the following letter (mostly cribbed from another web site) which, I hope might make them reconsider (I've had no response as yet)

I note that regrettably we are unable to reach a satisfactory compromise in my case. As I have already explained, I can only afford £5 per month at the present time and this is the only realistic payment proposal I can make bearing in mind my personal budget sheet and list of creditors I sent your company on xxxxxxxx.

I have been advised that under the Debt Collection Guidance issued by the Office of Fair Trading that your company are in breach of the Guidance under the section concerning physical/psychological harassment - section 2.6. (f) which covers unfair practices - i.e. pressurising debtors to pay in full, in unreasonably large instalments, or to increase payments when they are unable to do so. As set out in my previous letter I cannot increase my offer to you and I am advised therefore that your company is in breach of the above code.

As you should also be aware, I am pursuing a claim on my payment protection insurance and I understand from the Insurance Company that they will be shortly, if they have not already, be contacting you to request details in respect of my account.

Until such a time as the Insurance Company settle my claim or my circumstances change, the offer of £5 per month is still open to you to accept.

This might be of use to someone - I will let you know of course how I get on with dear Lombard. !! :)

 

PS I haven't started the ball rolling yet re their charges as I have just started 3 other claims - SARs sent today - but I will in due course !!!

Update:

No response from Lombard (I'm not really suprised) my guess is that they will sit back until the default notice kicks in at the end of next week (even though my Payment Protection Insurance should have made payment(s) by then).

 

So I feel a SAR coming on !!!

 

Watch this space :)
