    • We need to see the actual document from the IAS where it is written - "The Operator's evidence shows no payment for the Appellant's vehicle, or anything similar. It does show two payments for the same registration in quick succession. I would take a reasonable guess, based on the circumstances described, that the person paying has paid for the registration of the person they assisted again." You can't just type it up yourself. At the hearing in July or August or whenever the judge will have two Witness Statements. One from Bank's director says you never made a second appeal. You say you did make a second appeal and the IAS concluded that payment was made. The judge will immediately twig that either you or the director is lying.  But who? Fail to show the documentation form the IAS and instead just produce something you've typed yourself will make it look like you just made up the appeal and you are lying and you will lose the case. Please let us see what the IAS adjudicator sent.
    • I used to have a retail outlet in London selling my husband's photography.  We also had a co-op with staff so they weren't directly employed by me, but I paid for the other overheads etc.  When my husband died, I carried on as usual for a while but then I became ill and moved quite far away so logistically was becoming very difficult.  I came to an arrangement (verbal) with one of the guys I trusted, that I would send him the images to print and sell as normal, and I wouldn't take any money, as a short term solution until I got back on my feet and worked out the best way to do things. He would pay all the  rent, insurance etc... Over a year later, not able to give things away for free anymore,  I drew up a contract as a wholesale agreement, so I would get everything printed and sent to him and I would invoice his for what he ordered. I noticed form the beginning that he wasn't ordering enough or frequently enough to be making any money, and was suspicious he was doing his own orders on the sly and ordering just enough from me to keep my happy.  I checked with my printer, which I've been with for 20 years, and he sad he wasn't getting orders for my images from anyone else. I emailed a few other printers to ask them to keep a look out for some images but I soon realised this would be impossible to police.  The only option really would be to buy a print from him and check the stamp on the back of it.  I finally managed to get hold of on the prints on sale, and sure enough, he did not order it through me.   In the contract he signed in 2022 it explicitly states that he must destroy all files I had previously sent him etc etc so e is in breach of that.  When I drew up the contract, I was careful to make sure it was legally binding, but before I let rip at him, I need to know where I stand.  The contract is here: PARTIES This WHOLESALE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made effective as of 30th June, 2022, by and between ############################## The Supplier and the Client, collectively referred to as the "Parties," hereby agree to the following terms: TERMS AND CONDITIONS SALES OF GOODS The Supplier agrees to provide the following goods to the Client (“Goods”): Description of Goods ################################# Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b BOTH PARTIES AGREE: The Client purchases the Goods through the Supplier directly, and agrees to delete/destroy any previously held digital images (Goods) owned by the Supplier, and agrees not to use any such files for monetary gain, outside of this agreement, either directly or through a third party from immediate effect of this agreement. The Client purchases the other materials necessary for resale of the Goods independently of this agreement. The Client shall have exclusive rights for resale of Goods at ###########, and also with permission, as a retailer of the Goods elsewhere, provided that there is no conflict of interest between the Supplier and the Client. The Client is free to decide their own retail prices, for the Goods. The Supplier shall use #####  to provide the printed Goods on Fujifilm Crystal Archive paper, with Lustre finish, and will not use any other Printer unless #### cease to trade, without prior approval from the Client. The Supplier shall not impose restrictions on size or frequency of orders made by the Client. The prices provided by the Supplier shall not increase for a minimum of 3 years, unless the prices of the raw materials rise, in which case the client will be informed immediately. Any discounts/promotional prices of raw materials shall be passed on to the Client by the Supplier, and the invoice will show adjustments for this, as well as credit for return postage of any damaged goods. This agreement can be terminated by the Client without notice; the Supplier must give notice of no less than 90 days, unless the terms of the agreement are breached, in which case, the agreement can be terminated with immediate effect. PAYMENT Orders must be paid for upon receipt of invoice, via Bank transfer: ######### Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b DELIVERY AND INSPECTIONS All orders received by 12.00am (midnight) shall be processed by the Supplier the following working day and delivery of order shall arrive in accordance with the Royal Mail schedule, or DPD, should express delivery be requested. The Client shall be liable for the delivery charge which shall be added to the invoice. The Goods will be delivered to the address specified by the Client. The Client shall be provided with order tracking, and should any problems arise with the ordering system or the couriers (Royal Mail, DPD), the Client shall be informed without delay of any such issues. The Client will inspect the Goods and report any defects or damage to the Goods in transit as soon as possible upon receipt of Goods, and will retain damaged Goods for return to Supplier for refund/replacement. GENERAL PROVISIONS CONFIDENTIALITY The prices of the Goods and other information contained in this Agreement is confidential and will not be disclosed by either party unless with prior written consent of the other party. INDEMNIFICATION The Client indemnifies the Supplier from any claims, liabilities, and expenses made by any third party vendors or customers of the Client. GOVERNING LAW This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with UK Law. ACCEPTANCE Both parties understand and accept the wholesale arrangement stipulated under this Agreement. Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Parties has executed this Wholesale Agreement as of the day and year set forth above.   Signed by us both electronically.   I haven't broached any of this yet, and I am looking for some advice about what action to take.  The main issue I've got is that he has still go those images.  If I terminate the contract, I will need to know that he no longer has those images and I can't think of a bulletproof way to do this. I'm thinking I might tell him I will continue with the contract but ask for a  sum in damages and say that if I find out he's still doing it down the line I will terminate the contract and sue him for damages. The damages side of things I'm not sure how it would work as he is self employed, and I'm positive he doesn't declare all of his earnings to HMRC, in order to find out how much I have lost, would the court demand to go through his tax self assessments?  I'm not sure how to proceed with this, I don't want to lose that place as an outlet as it is in a prime spot in London, which is why I let him have those images in the first place as I would have had to pull out altogether at that point.  I am regretting it somewhat now though.  Please help.

    • 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.

Attitude of FOS doesn't surprise me. They don't really know what they are talking about - worse than some of the 'old duffer' DJs.

 

As to your case, is it HSBC's stance that the 'managed loan' is still an overdraft? That can't be right, surely. If it is a loan, then it is covered by the CCA and an agreement is required. I'm afraid that detail won't stop them from taking legal action if DG's get out of the wrong side of the bed one morning - or whatever passes for logic in their tiny brains.

 

You could always try another route though. Apparently, the FSA (that's HSBC's regulator) has a major initative to 'Treat Customers Fairly' which should operate now and be embedded into everything the bank does by December. You could always ask HSBC's top man (the Chief Executive in his ivory tower in Canary Wharf) what the bank is doing to treat you fairly.

 

He will pass your letter to one of his flunkies, so I suggest you copy your letter to the lady at the FSA who is heading up the whole initative. Contact details are -

Sarah Wilson, Director, Treating Customers Fairly,

Financial Services Authority,

25, The North Colonnade, Canary Wharf,

LONDON, E14 5HS

Doc,

 

That's an inspired idea!

 

It's DG that believe they're chasing an overdraft. But either way they'll nedd documentary proof that that's the case (they don't!). HSBC are saying that I signed it, even though they can pull out every document letter, email, memo, phone call they have on me EXCEPT for the managed loan.

 

My argument is that since they've pulled out so much info (stored on microfiche) then this is their established practise and therefore if I did sign the loan that they must have it stored on microfiche. If they don't then they must never have received one in the first place.

 

Letter to the big boss regarding TCF? Awesome, will look into that!

Hiya Don, the other thing to remember is they can prove your credit agreement with a copy of the document from microfiche or even a "reconstituted" document demonstrating what you would have signed BUT strictly speaking as soon as you get to the courtroom stage they will need to produce the actual signed document for the courts inspection :).

 

So push them to court and make sure your judge asks for sight of the original signed document :D.

Quick update:

 

Neighbour's done a letter for me:

 

"We are satisfied that the loan agreement is unenforceable, any proceedings will be vigourously defended and in the circumstances you may wish to take your client's instructions on discussing matters further on a without prejudice basis or otherwise."

 

Waiting on a reply.

Hey there Don im currently going through a very similar thing myself with HSBC, I had a managed loan but never signed an agreement for it. I have CCA'd them but obviously they cant provide the document as it doesnt exist!, After a few months of them trying to fob me off they have now written to me saying they will abide by any decision the FOS makes. I'm a little worried that the FOS may not find in my favour but surely without a signed agreement nothing would stand up in court. HSBC have submitted their file to FOS but FOS have said its going to be several months before they can get an adjudicator to look at my case as they are rather busy at the minute!

mike jsut a thought, if you send them a freedom of info request they have to provide that and all and anythign they have on you. it gives you access to all the wee comments they have put that you dont know about....... that might give you even more evidence......

 

and if I am not mistake if they cant produce a signed agreement then the debt is unenforcable ... which means they have to repay it plus interest...... and it might jsut be worth taking them to court...... that wil leb much quicker than waiting for the oft:)

 

my best guess woudl be lets see lba 14 days. the submit the claim.... max 28 days for their defence.... date set for hearing.... posibly 4-6 weeks...

 

do you really think they will go into court without a valid agreement?

rockin all over the world

As a regulated firm HSBC have no option but to accept a FOS decision, so saying they will abide by it is meaningless. However, a FOS decision is not binding on the applicant ie you.

 

HSBC can and will take you to court without an enforceable CCA in my experience. If they start the proceedings electronically, they do not have to file the papers with the court initially. If the defendant does not submit a defence within 28 days, then HSBC can apply (and wil apply) for a default judgment, which the defendant then has to try to get set aside.

 

On the other hand if a defendant does not hide his head in the sand and stands up to these bullying tactics and files a defence forcing HSBC to produce an enforceable agreement, then they slink away and let the court stay the proceedings.

ditto.. been reading with interest and as our friend doc says. they will file the claim electronicaly and if you do not defend they will enter judgement by default.

 

I defended their 4k overdraft claim with 3k bank charges reclaim. after phoneing the court today: the position is they have not heard back from the claimant solicitors since filing my defence, the 28 days are up and i think i stay.

 

Meanwhile trying full and final settlement offer for £1300. only just sent letter and awaiting reply.

tell me doman, how long can there be stay in the proceedings?? like i said i want to settle the difference out of court.

 

As far as I know, the proceedings will be stayed until the claimant (HSBC) revives the claim and pays the court fee (£200) or unless the defendant makes an application on form N244 to have the stay lifted, the claim struck out and summary judgement awarded to the defendant. Fee for filing a N244 application is £75.

 

If you want to settle out of court, you might wait to see if DG write to you again. If you do respond, make sure any letters are headed 'WITHOUT PREJUDICE'.

hi it was for bank charges, bank interest charges,

 

Sorry, I want to know is it £3k of charges?

or have you added interest to the charges and the total comes to £3K?

 

The reason I ask is that £3k of charges plus compounded interest could well exceed the £4k overdraft.

HSBC seem to think a Data Prot. S.A.R request is just for copy stements becuase i have submitted a "copy of charges letter????" What Are They Smoking? :mad:

Actually your nearly right.

bank charges £2311 8% interest £593.34 total £2904.34

interest charges £ 540 8% interest £ 150 total £ 691.55

crikey, i turn my back for a minute and there's all this activity!

 

Mike. I agree with Docman and nieve. Forget FOS and go to court. HSBC HAVE to provide the original signed agreement.

 

If you look earlier on my thread you'll see the steer I got from a barrister. Basically, unlikely to get your money back but can definitely get it declared unenforceable.

 

update from me? nothing from DG since the last letter sent. Meeting with my neighbour this week to push them for the full works.
