    • So a little update.  I sent a complaint to ico and have heard nothing. I just got the general reply email and that's it.  Sat twiddling my thumbs and thought about what I should do next. I searched for the CEO of Studio but then found that he'd left so as keep getting letters from studio about the arrears etc. I thought I'd email the David Twigg. Sent him all the bumpft and a copy of my original complaint and sars request.  Got no response. So didn't know what else to do. Then I thought I'd try through the financial difficulties option on the online form. One last try before I just give up and let them default me.  Then on the 5th June. I got an email from their customer services. That the items that had gone AWOL have all been cancelled. Nothing else on that email, so I had a look in an email account that I don't use anymore and there was an email from the customer service.  That they were sorry for the problems I've had for the last 9 months. That the sars info was emailed to me on 14/04, it wasn't I've kept all spam and deleted emails on that account, they have raised a complaint with their studio pay team regarding the issues, balance dispute, fee's and my credit file. They are hoping to resolve in 3 days but they have upto 56. They also said in regards to my other issues I have to raise a complaint with studio retail but haven't told me how I do that.  The sars info only goes upto the end of December 2023. It has my previous complaints on there but nothing after so I don't know how I get hold of that information. Luckily I've kept copies of every time I've contacted them. Every web chat or social media contact.  Apologies for the extremely long post but I wanted to add everything I could just incase.  I have checked my account balance and it's still minus 900 odd pounds but I'll keep checking to see if it's all cleared and on my credit file.  I'm hoping this is the end of the whole debacle and they close my account because I never want to do this again. Although it's been a learning experience.  Thanks to dx100uk for pointing me in the right direction. Much appreciated.

    • 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.

My husband and I have just gone into a IVA (individual voluntary agreement, or is it arrangement, not quite sure) with Hsbc and all our other creditors due the the unfortunate financial possition we found ourselves in. Would we still be able to reclaim all the costs that we have incurred over the last 6years even though we have tecnically had alot of our debt "wrote off".

 

We were with HSBC as our main personal bank for 10years and also had a personal loan and a credit card with them, incurring massive charges over the years for one thing or another.

 

Your imput would be very helpful in this matter as they are no longer our bank.

hello and welcome!

 

It is a common story, those who need help get none whatsoever from the bank!

It makes no difference whatsoever that you have closed your account, and you can go back 6 years.

 

All the best with your claim, pop back if you have any more questions!!!

I think you can for the overdraft fees but the interest only gets applied if it gets taken to court.

 

i am a relative newbie on here so only know what i have been reading.

 

Hope this helps

Recieved half of my statements yesterday. Still waiting on the rest. Also recieved a letter day before yesterday stating that they were on the way and that our cheque was being returned to us. However the attached cheque belonged to some one else and had statements in my pile for 4 other people.... :eek:

 

What is it with HSBC.... Can't they get anything right. It must be against the data protection act that I have access to someone elses statements. Will be taking them into my local branch tomorrow and have yet another embarrassed look from the cashier as she has to sort out the mistake.

 

Will keep you all posted anyway.

Please could someone point me in the direction of the correct spread sheet so that I don't mess this up .

 

Thanks for you help

Ok sorry I have been reading a couple other threads and it seems to me that I don't actually add the interest at this point.... Am I correct?

 

I know I have really been dragging my heels on this 1 but I have had my head all over the place for the last few months and have been really struggling to even concentrate on my statements let alone any thing else. My friend came round this morning who has just won her first case against HSBC and went through my statements with me ( baring in mind I have trawled through them 6 times already) and she managed to find another £70 worth of charges.

 

I really want to get a wriggle on with this now... her success has definately spured me on, however to do so I really need your help.

Just doing my charges spread sheet and now got a question on wording.

 

95% of my charges have been excess o/d charges however on the itemisation sheets i used to get from HSBC with my statements it just says Overdraft fee.

 

would it be better to word it as they do or as what it is and thats an excess o/d charge

 

Please help

Best of luck to you. I just noticed you have been posting since June and no one has answered your questions since then!

 

There is a good spreadsheet on this site. will look up the link.

 

thats pretty bad about recieving other peoples statements. I would have written to the people myself so that they could complain and have a case against HSBC with regards to the data protection act. hehe.

 

I swapped my charge discriptions to match the ones on my statements but i dont think it matters too much.

 

Anyways, good luck. What u gonna do with your grand when u get it back? :D

Whilst my aim is to be helpful, its reasonable to assume I am not a professional and am (dare I say) not always right. Seek professional help if in doubt

Thanks kazzy.......

 

I have been waiting for a reply about the spread sheets but I eventually found them myself and could not work out how to calculates the excess o/d interest on it so I made do with just claiming for the costs to be returned.

 

I have an existing IVA in place and one of its clauses states that any wind fall over £500 has to be returned to our creditors so to be honest I am unsure if we will get to keep any of it, especially as HSBC were one of our creditors. I am hoping that we may get the £500 but not holding my breath.

 

Thanks again for you support and will keep this thread up to date with my progress.:grin:

it's your schedule - obviously most people want to do it quickly but just carry on - send lba tomorrow - it was somewhere after the lba we received an 80% offer, wrote back saying we would accept it as partial but then heard no more - 14 days from the lba - you file your mcol - then probably they will acknowledge (just to get more time) and if current theory applies, about 21 days into the 28 you will get a request for a breakdown of charges and then 80% offer from dg solicitors (which now includes 8% + court costs) which you again say you would accept as partial or your claim will have to go on and magically before you need to pursue it, an offer for 100% comes in which you accept. be sure all letters are sent registered post for £1. and don't conclude your claim until the money has cleared.
