    • Have we seen your court bundle?   If we haven't then it's probably an idea to post it up here especially the index page and the witness statement so we can see if there is anything which might need adding or changing 
    • "Care to briefly tell someone who isn't tech savvy - i.e. me! - how you did this?" Its pretty simple although not obvious. You open the google maps app > click your profile picture > Click Timeline from the list > click today > choose the date you want to see the timeline from. Then you'll see your timeline for that day. Often, places you have visited will have a question mark beside them where google wants you confirm you have actually visited. You either click 'yes' if you have, or you click 'edit' to enter the actual place you visited. Sometimes, you'll see 'Missing visit' This probably happens if your internet connection has dropped out at that time. You simply click 'Add visit' and enter the place. The internet on my crappy phone often loses connection so I have to do that alot.   OK dx, understood mate. 
    • I have now been given a court date vs Evri, 4th Sept 2024. I have completed my court bundle, when am I expected to send copies to the court and Evri and should it be in hard copy or electronic? The Notice of Allocation states that no later than 7 days before the directions hearing both parties must send to the other party their final offers to settle. Does this mean I will have to tell Evri what I'm willing to settle? Rgds, J
    • Sorry  Noted x   Ok how about this to the CEO? I know it sounds super desperate but lets call a spade a spade here, I am super desperate: Dear Sir, On 29th November 2023 I took out a loan of £5000 with you. Unfortunately very early into 2024 I found myself in financial difficulty (unexpected bills and two episodes of sickness and the tax office getting my tax code wrong resulting in less pay for two months) and I contacted you (MCB) on 13th February 2024 asking if there was any way I could extend the length of my loan to 36 months. I fully explained why I was requesting this and asked for your help. I did not receive a reply to that email so I again contacted you on 7th March 2024 to advise you of a change in my circumstances which resulted in me having to take out a DMP and asking you to confirm that the direct debit had been cancelled. You would have also received confirmation of this DMP from StepChange but you did not acknowledge receipt of my email. I have only managed to make one payment from my loan but did try and contact MCB to discuss extending my loan, help etc.  I have now therefore fallen behind on several of my debts, yours included, and as a result you have lodged a Cifas marker against my name for "evasion of payment", which has resulted in me having to change banks, which has been an extremely difficult process because of the Cifas marker. I do not feel you have been fair or given me the opportunity to fully explain my situation to you before you lodged the marker against my name. I appreciate it is a business and you have acted accordingly, but I did try to make contact to arrange alternative arrangements and at no point, not even to this day, did I ever intend to not repay my loan. I cannot stress to you enough how much this has affected my mental health. I am having trouble sleeping and my existing health condition has been exacerbated by all of this. What I would like you to do is to please, please remove the Cifas marker and let me make arrangements to pay the loan back through a DMP.  Please sir, I am begging for your help here. I am not a dishonest person and I have never been in a situation like this before. I am desperately trying to make things right but this marker is killing me. Please can you help me? I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully,

    • 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.

Hi there,

 

I sent my 1st letter off to my local bank last week explaining that I want my charges refunded and I have received the letter below back.

 

I was wondering if this is a standard letter (I know bits of it are but the bits I am unsure of I have highlited in bold. Can someone please have a look to see if this is a standard letter please as I am going to send in letter 2 tomorrow :)

 

 

dear xxxxxx

 

Thank you for your letter dated xxxx and I appologise for any dissatisfaction caused by the application of charges to your account.

 

We believe that our charges are fair, reasonable and transparrent.

We consider the amounts debited to your account have been applied strictly in acordance with your agreement with usand our published tariff, which we are satisfied complies with all applicable laws and regulations. We are also commited to ensuring the transparecy of the info that we give to our customers about the operation of our products

 

Against that background, we must differ to the views expressed in your letter.

Accordingly the charges that have been applied to your account must stand.

 

Thanks etc...

 

 

Can anyone shed some light for me as I think that this isnt a standard letter.

 

The letter was sent by my local branch and not Tommy McLean etc at head office.

 

Thanks in advance.

It looks pretty standard to me - don't let them rattle you!!

 

Stick to your guns & your timetable - after the 14 days have passed since you sent in your 1st letter, send in the Letter Before Action.

 

You're doing fine, keep us updated!

Thanks for the reply JMio :)

 

It appears that I have mistakenly used a different template for my 1st letter.

 

I sent them the following letter which was replied to above.

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

I refer to default charges which have been applied to my account over the last 6 years by The Royal Bank of Scotland, amounting to £767.98.

I have been a loyal customer of The Royal Bank of Scotland for 16 years.

 

I have always maintained my account well and believe that the charges applied to my account do not reflect the cost to the bank of my account going into unauthorised overdraft.

I therefore ask that you repay the amount of all these charges, £767.98.

I am happy for you to contact me on ******* to discuss the matter.

Yours faithfully

 

 

 

 

I will stick to the templates from here in future.

 

 

What letter should I send my local branch next?

 

 

this one

 

 

or

 

 

this one?

 

 

Sorry for the confusion and thanks for your help :)

If I were you I would go for the pre-lim one, simpy because you haven't actually stated in your own letter the "legal" reaon you are claiming back your money. You also haven't given them a deadline etc It will only make a difference of about 14 days or so, as that is how long you will give them to reply to the pre-lim letter. If you don't get a satisfactory response after sending that then send the Letter Before Action (LBA).

Good luck.

Pam.

 

If anything I've said helps you then please feel free to tip my scales!

Well after I had used the wrong template I realised that I am not claiming enough!

 

I am just out the bank there and handed over 3 letters for various amounts totaling £1100.

 

I had an interesting chat with the lady at customer services and she informed me that she will be sending these to head office as there is a dept there who deal with these sort of claims so hundreds of people must be trying to get their money back from RBOS.

 

Fingers crossed it all works out as the RBOS are robbers without the mask!

 

I will keep you all updated with my progress :)

 

Thanks for all your help :)
