    • So as I stated, I posted my letter off but over 2 weeks later I've had a visit from one of their reps. I didn't indulge him in any conversation, and I just stated that any such debts are statute-barred and closed the door on him. I was hoping they'd take notice of the letter. Where do I go from here? Thanks
    • I apologise if I was being unclear. Where it currently stands is that they will have it repair, placing scaffolding in our garden for 5 days. They have moved fast, but we will still have to postpone our contractors, meaning, we won't necessarily have the work done in time for the wedding and therefore will incur additional expenses for either a marquee or a wedding venue. They are vehemently against having any kind of liability in any regard but continue repeating that they are legally entitled to use our garden for their repairs (I believe this is true unless the work can be carried out using a cherry picker). The neighbour seems either indifferent or oblivious to the fact they can't reach all of the side of the roof from the space where they can place the scaffolding. They have asked their roofer of choice about using a cherry picker but the roofer has said it wasn't possible. It's not clear whether the roofer doesn't want to use a cherry picker or whether there is an issue with it. They have told us it is a problem that we are installing a gazebo as it will prevent them to access their roof from our garden in the future?!?  
    • Couldn't agree more, really wanted a true ruling on this just for the knowledge but pretty sure the Judge made some decisions today that he didn't need to?.. maybe they all go this way on the day? We hear back so few post court dates I'm not sure. Each Judge has some level of discretion. Their sol was another Junior not even working at their Firm, so couldn't speak directly for them! that was fortunate I think because if she would have rejected in court better, she might have  been able to force ruling, we are at that point!, everybody there!!, Judge basically said openly that he can see everything for Judgement!!!  but she just said "I can speak to the claimant and find out!" - creating the opportunity for me to accept. I really think the Judge did me a favor today by saying it without saying it. Knowing the rep for the sol couldn't really speak to the idea in the moment. Been to court twice in a fortnight, on both occasions heard 4 times with others and both of my claims, the clerk mention to one or both parties "Letting the Judge know if you want to have a quick chat with each other"! So, it appears there's an expectation of the court that there is one last attempt at settling before going through the door. So, not a Sol tactic, just Court process!. Judge was not happy we hadn't tried to settle outside! We couldn't because she went to the loo and the Judge called us in 10 minutes early! - another reason to stand down to allow that conv to happen. Stars aligned there for me I think. But yeh, if the sol themselves, or someone who can make decisions on the case were in court, I would have received a Judgement against today I think. She was an 'advocate'.. if I recall her intro to me correctly.. So verbal arguments can throw spanners in Court because Plinks dogs outsource their work and send a Junior advocate.

    • 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 am jsut going to get this thread started as i am anticipating a rocky road.

 

This thread is concerning my loan, taken out online about 2 years ago - i think. it's recentish anyway.

 

Many months ago i asked for the PPI to be cancelled to help lower the payments. I explained i have life insurance and good sick pay from work. I was told i would have to wait until my arrears were cleared. I paid some off and they agreed to absorb the rest into loan. I had no intention of reclaiming any paid premiums at this point.

 

I wrote directly to the insurance company in Shannon. They told me that i had to deal with Barclays to do this.

 

I sent a CCA request to Barclays to see what was what, but i have not had a response. They're in summary criminal default with that.

 

I have had to withhold payment because i can't keep up.

 

I am now going to S.A.R Barclays. I've decided i might as well look for charges too. No more Mrs Soft too nice for her own good person.

 

I will be happy to pay this debt when i have a true balance without all these added extras.

 

So, that is my introduction, i will update this thread when i receive my 1st unhelpful response :p

 

If only Barclays had just cancelled the PPI when i asked.....

I'm midway through the tunnel, but getting closer to the light.

They won't cancel PPI without a fight - after all they will have to pay back all the lovely commission they got from setting it up:mad:. Best of luck. I am starting a PPI claim for my friend on a secured loan.

I'd be interested to see how that claim goes Goldlady. I've had 2 secured loans in the past. I am planning to S.A.R them at some point. Mine were from sub prime lenders. Their rates are extortionate and i'd love to get something back from them.

 

I've just printed off my S.A.R request for Barclays. Luckily enough I found the 10.00 postal order i sent for my bank acc. statements which they had returned!! Every little bit helps :p

Mmm, Barclays are slowly creeking into action after my latest letters. I've received an acknowledgment of my CCA. Nothing much i know, but after 2 months of waiting....:p

 

By the new year i might have received my S.A.R info and roundabouts Christmas 2010 they might have refunded my PPI :rolleyes:

Panicking more like (taking a break!). My 13 year old son swallowed a keyring at 6pm yesterday, I got home from the second hospital at 4am after he had a general anaesthetic so they could pull it back out again. Then went to collect him at 10.30am today - so have had 4 hours sleep and lost almost a day of revision time:eek:

Goldlady - As i type your light is off - so to speak, i hope you are finding time to revise and then relax. I hope your son is ok now, but have you banned him from moving now though until your exams are over?! I have my fingers crossed for you ;-)

 

HHNF - I am living up to my name with those timescales and being a Hopeful1! :p

 

Hope you're well.

  • 4 weeks later...

Still no S.A.R or CCA, but have had an acknowledgement (it's a start). If they don't satisfy my S.A.R request soon it's all going ot FOS. I've wasted so much time for absolutley nothing so far.

 

The demands are coming in for payment now, but this is well and truly in dispute until they cancel the PPI.

 

Barclays :evil:

Hi HHNF :)

 

When i started the requests to stop the PPI i didn't use any formal template letters, because i started this a while before all the excitement really kicked off in the media. I had however, told them i have adequate sick cover at work plus life policies etc. I didn't realise it was going to be so complicated. When i started all this, i wasn't even asking for a refund!!

 

I want to see the credit agreement to see what i've signed up to. I've just checked my dates and i sent the CCA request at the end of August! I hadn't realised it was so long ago. Tut Tut - i've had at least 2 demands for payment from them. I'll have to check my S.A.R dates.

 

I'm on a mission with this lot now for both this and my bank acc.

 

How's you anyway? You are so efficient on here answering everyone posts. It's much appreciated ;):)

A courier has delivered 2 HUGE envelopes from BS (a polite version of my new nickname for them). There is page after page of info about the loan and bank account. (i have already had the statements for bank acc.) There is not ONE SINGLE statement for the loan account and still no CCA :evil:

 

On the 12th they said it would take a further 10 days regarding the CCA.

I have no idea whether charges have been applied.

I have no idea what the terms of the agreement was re PPI.

There are figures in various parts of the paperwork sent, in relation to the loan, which vary from over £6000 to over £9000 :eek:

I have no idea how much of the loan is PPI.

 

If possible could someone help me focus on how to tackle all this, please.

Well they are obviously playing games:mad:. I sent a SAR request re my friend's loan which has 13k of PPI on it and they sent her statements and returned the £10 cheque saying that they only needed a £10 cheque if we wanted transcripts of phone calls and all the notes about the account. Er HELLO! that is what I asked for in the first place. Delaying tactics.

 

How much did you borrow in the first place? That is the starting point. If it's like my friend's loan the PPI was added on at the start. You really need the agreement to see what went on :mad:. I am sure if one of the experts comes along they will point you to a letter that says - you have failed to comply fully with my SAR. If you want to PM me what figures you do have - assuming you don't want to post them on here - I will see if I can make any sense of it.

Hello Hopeful,

 

They don't want to be helpful, because they know what you are going to do with the info. Just keep at them.:mad:

 

If they have not sent you info on the loan or the ca for it, send them a non-compliance of the Data Protection Act letter. Sending back the £10 as payment. It is important that they cash this cheque.;)

Hello Goldlady,

 

Apologies Hopeful, I hope that you don't mind, if I hijack your thread as I need to ask Goldlady a question.

 

"There has been a lot of questions lately, regarding when a complaint can be handled, investigated by the FOS, now my belief it in late 2004 when the FSA was regulated anything before that you only have the option of court to resolve it. I would appreciate your comments on this."

 

Thanks

I don't know much about this as haven't read anything about it. Are you talking specifically about bank charge claims? I used the FOS to claim an underpayment on an endowment policy at least five years ago:)

Hello Ladies!! :D

 

Right, little one is bed, bottle of lager is open, got my Bounty chocolate bar, football is on.....

 

...now i'm ready for action!!

 

I have found a statement for the loan after about the 10th sift through my mountain. I am GOBSMACKED:

 

each month they are adding between £118 - 135 in interest :shock: What the hell have i signed up to???

 

Ha Ha - i have just spotted the PPI figure. I will PM Goldlady and HHNF with my figures in case there are any BS spies around!! 9if that's ok with you both) :rolleyes:

 

I have missed several payments on this and am withholding now anyway due to the no show on the CA. Having seen the interest, i don't think it's worth paying anyway grrrr :?

 

Geez i'm glad i'd opened my beer before looking at that properly ;)

Wow Hopeful,

 

I even heard that one. lol

 

Have they breached on the timescales for the ca request, if so give them a nudge on that one.

 

The ca is the key to the refund, We need to know the total charge for credit on both the loan and the ppi.

But there are more ways to skin the cat (yuck, I hate that expression).

 

Hopefully, they will dig a bigger hole for themselves with their non-compliance to legal requests.

Right, i need some help digesting this please...

 

BS have sent the loan CA. I have 2 pages:

 

1. Barclayloan Agreement - Bank Copy (B) to be signed and returned with (a).

Fixed loan sum agreement regulated by the consumer c a 1974

 

This is a CA regulated by the CCA 1974. Sign it only if you want to be legally bound by its terms.

 

I've signed and dated it.

They haven't signed.

It then says:

 

I wish to purchase Barclayloan Payment Protection

 

I've ticked the box and signed.

On the 2nd page are all the figures, which i will PM to GL and HHNF. This loan totals over £12,000 :eek: :eek: . I thought it was only for around £6,600 :o

 

I have requested the PPI be refunded on the basis that i have additional insurance that will cover me and my work sick pay is adequate.

 

I can't remember if i discussed any of this over the 'phone. I applied online as i was offered the loan in the 'My Offers' section. A courier brought the papers to the door for me to sign and then took them away. I think info was then sent to me but obviously i didn't use the 14 day cancellation period.

 

Am i right thinking i haven't got a strong enough argument to say this was mis-sold?

 

Can i still have the PPI cancelled without being reassessed for a new loan?

 

They haven't sent me a copy of the policy document. I'm assuming this should have come in the S.A.R?

 

Geez what a mess :confused:

 

I just want this loan figure reduced.

The day after i recieved my long awaited credit agreement BS sent a default notice :mad:

 

I need to formalise my argument for reclaiming PPI. Initially i just wanted them to cancel it because i realised it was increasing my payments. Now i want everything i can get :mad::p

 

I have told them i have alternative insurances and a decent sick pay scheme from work (i work for the local authority) since making my cancellation request.

 

Is it enough to say i was not asked if i have alternative provision?

 

Also, i was not aware of what an impact the insurance and interest would have on the loan balance.

 

I have ticked yes on the agreement which i signed on the doorstep as a courier brought and immediately took the documents. I did have 14 day cancellation rights though.

 

Not sure how strong my case is with this, so all opinions will be welcomed!

I obviously need to respond quickly because of the default notice - oooo they make me mad :mad:
