    • I think final version of WS now prepared with exhibits added.  All numbered properly. Of course it can still be tweaked if necessary. Laura will not need it on 25 June as that is just a Preliminary Hearing for her to represent her son. But as DCBL messed up and thought it was WS time why not prepare things calmly in advance.

    • Your case shows the idiocy of employing a solicitor to do things you could easily do yourself. Had Countryside dealt with their own case they would have entered judgement on 4 June and there would have been no way back for you. But they thought they were clever by running to Rachael and Sean of BW Legal for a more "professional" (aye, right) service.  These dodgy solicitors can only make money on private parking cases by doing everything on the ultra cheap and certainly cant check the judgement date for every single separate case. Ho!  Ho!  Ho! Anyway, glad you got the defence filed OK. The next stage is that the central bulk court will send out a simple form called a Directions Questionnaire to you and to Countrywide which is part of the allocations process to your local court.  If you read this short thread you will see all the stages of the court process  https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/406892-highview-parking-anpr-pcn-claimform-urban-exchange-manchester-claim-dismissed/#comments
    • It is already trespass, nothing further needed to make out trespass. Not sure where ‘interference with goods’ helps you / how you’d bring a claim for that that stops them parking there.
    • Thanks Dx,    For some further information, the holiday was booked as a package holiday for 2. One of the 2 had to be changed, and changing costs £700 for a new flight as "tickets had been issued and they cant do a name change". I cant quite figure out how compensation works for things when it comes to package holidays.    From what I can tell  - The plane was due to land in Turks and Caicos to drop off passengers, something happened during descent, resulting in technical fault.  - The rest of the original flight from Turks & Caicos -> Montego Bay was cancelled  - A New flight was put on today, which was then delayed by 1.5hrs aswell  - Hotel was provided for the night after much hassle.  - 1.5 days, 2 evenings of holiday lost  If I understand correctly, since the original flight (LHR -> Turks -> Montego Bay) was cancelled, they are both entitled to a refund on that full flight? I can't quite work out if they are only entitled to a refund for the equivalent of Turks -> Montego Bay, or for the full LHR->Turks->Montego Bay, since it was issued as one ticket/all Virgin, and they should have arrived yesterday..?)  I can't work out how to get the cost of that compensation, or whether its a set figure, and how the loss of days of holiday is factored in   I am aware:  If you received less than 14 days’ notice of the cancellation, you are generally due compensation, awarded in pounds or euros depending on where your flight was due to depart from, according to the following scale: £220 / €250 for all flights of 1,500km or less (e.g. Glasgow to Amsterdam); £350 / €400 for all flights between 1,500km and 3,500km (e.g. East Midlands to Marrakech); £520 / €600 for all other flights (e.g. London to New York). Compensation will be reduced by 50% if the arrival time of the replacement flight doesn’t exceed the arrival time of the original flight by: two hours for flights of 1,500km or less; three hours for flights between 1,500km and 3,500km; four hours for all other flights. So I "think" its £520pp for the flight part as compensation (7500km)... but some sites say its a full refund for the flight... is it both?  Thanks,  Ryan

    • 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.

So I have this debt which is composed entirely of charges, for approximately £170 so it`s not that much. It`s to do with some returned Direct Debits which I have since switched to another account. They are now trying to collect on them. Is it worth CCAing them to put the debt into dispute and await the outcome of the FSA test case, or should i pay and claim them all back?

 

I feel a CCA coming on... Does anyone want to help me compose a letter?

If this is a normal bank account, it's probably not regulated by the CCA 1974 anyway, so it would be a waste of time.

 

Get yourself a claim in for the unlawful charges. Best to look at the Lloyds forum on this site for the best advice.

 

FWIW I had an issue with LTSB for a similar amount, which they settled before issuing a court claim.

Bank overdrafts are CCA 1974 regulated if they fall into the monetary limits of the Act ( up to either £15k or £25k depending on when the agreement was taken out ). They come under 'running account credit' within s10 of the Act.

 

So I beg to differ but you can CCA them.

 

Although OOAK is right in saying you can still start a claim for the unlawful charges - it will just be put on hold until the outcome of the test case but they can't pursue you in the meantime. So really your call.

Sorry, getting my wires crossed a bit there!:o

 

Still don't see any point in sending a CCA. A legal claim for unlawful charges will put the account into dispute, and while many claims are being stayed pending the test case, this ain't necessarily so for all of them.

 

What's to gain from a CCA request in this case, anyway?

legal claim for unlawful charges

 

i am getting confused. Why are Cahoots only yesterday put £34.00 in charges on my account.

 

HAK

Because the banks don't accept that their charges are unlawful. That's what the test case is for. Hasn't stopped any of the banks charging their customers yet.

The 'forthcoming' test case will decide, one way or the other.

Maybe.

 

Barclays gave me nearly 2k back before court. Gesture of Goodwill or fear of losing?

You decide.....

Ask the bank for a receipt. I assume you are using the letter in the Bank Templates Library?

HAVE YOU BEEN TREATED UNFAIRLY BY CREDITORS OR DCA's?

Yeah I`ll ask someone to sign a piece of paper to say they have received it. Because I know how much they`ve charged me I should be able to avoid the preliminary letters and go straight for teh claim, which would then be kept on hold cos of the OFT test case

Hi everyone,

 

Just a thought, as I`m waiting for statements from Lloyds Card also.

 

I sent Lloyds Card and Lloyds Collections a CCA and SAR request regarding the Card Account.

 

So far, I have heard nothing back in a week and a half, yet they have used the £1 CCA request fee to pay towards the Card debt. Cheeky or what?

 

Anyway, even though they think they are still in the right regarding Bank Charges and have put a hold on claims, don`t they still have an obligation under the Data Protection Act to supply ANY requested information, whatever it`s for?

 

Regards

Personally I would use their tactics against them. Let them come after you. Let them start court proceedings. Defend on the basis of unlawful charges and then apply for a stay pending the resolution of the test case.

 

Would be about the first and only time a stay would be something to smile about.

Did you send them a ten pound p.o. for the SAR?

They have 40 days to respond to SAR request, REGARDLESS of why you want the information, this is a statutory time limit. In my experience, they use it all.

 

Week and a half is nothing for a CCA either, with or without postal strikes...

Not up to them. If you make a claim through the court, Lloyds will have to deal with it. They do not have the power to reject your claim out of hand.

Yeah, I heard that. I also heard (not sure if it`s true though) that the courts are also putting cases on hold but in the event of the right decision being made it`ll be the held cases which will be dealt with first

 

Nothing to stop me CCAing them to get the account into dispute so that if they try and collect on it or take action then it`ll be them committing the offence so I can report them to TS

Many cases are being stayed pending the OFT test case, but it's not something that should prevent you starting your claim. If your particular case is stayed (and some CAGers have actually had stays removed!) then at least you'll be nearer the front of the queue.

 

You don't need CCA them solely to get the a/c into dispute - just send the request for payment letter, and letter before action, which you'll find in the Bank Charges forum.

I have not long received my full claim from Llyods tsb when others had theirs put on hold. So they are still paying out on some cases.

Yes, I sent a £10 Postal Order with the SAR. i went into the bank with two envelopes, one addressed to Lloyds Card Services (SAR) and one to Lloyds Collections (CCA).

 

I used their own internal mailing system instead of the crap Royal Mail which never gets signed for.

 

It`s just they used the £1 CCA request fee, and paid this off the card. The 12+2 working days are actually up on Thursday (11th October), so I was wondering if I should cancel my Direct Debit then or wait a few more days due to the Postal Strike. I`m also going to have my wages paid into my Halifax Account, instead of Lloyds.

 

Also, I`m paying over £45 a month for Payment Protection on the Credit Card, I`m not sure if I ticked the box or not for that, perhaps I should just it all back. The Account also has a number of Charges on, so I can dispute it from a number of angles.

 

I also have an Overdraft on the Current Account, which I`m expecting them to call in. There`s a few Charges on that also, but I`m also going to CCA LLoyds asking for the Account Opening Form. I opened the TSB Account 22 years ago, so that could be interesting.

 

How much longer do you think I should wait before cancelling the Direct Debit for the Lloyds TSB Card? They default on Thursday.

 

Regards

cancell it as so as u like. I have suspended payments to all companies i have cca'd and had them going to a savings account so the money is there for them when they can send me a cca. If they fail to i will SAR each company and will get my way with each company to pay what i want when i want like the reduced payment of which i can afford each month after deducting all the charges i have paid out being deducted and charges being stopped on all accounts.

I think because of the postal strike, a few more days might be in order. It is just possible that your enforceable true copy is sitting in a mailsack somewhere... (no, really, it's possible!:D )

 

If your payment's not due in the next week or so, I don't really see a problem; but the last thing you want, obviously, is for your CCA to fall on the doormat the day after you've cancelled your payment....:eek:
