    • Just a typo change that I'd make for the last line. Maybe also add something that says "I assume you will be fully aware that you cannot rely on a clause of a contract that you do not produce."
    • Hello, Firstly, and most importantly I am sorry for your loss. I would go back to the bank with the death certificate and ask them to step in. Remind them firmly but politely that there is no limit for DD claims   Please let us know how you get on.
    • My wife is the named person to his bank account with him having Dementia being his daughter (I say named person she still is but he recently passed away and the deputyship application has now being stopped by the solicitor as it's no longer needed) We've only just got the Death Certificate so the bank will be the next step informing them. She went to the bank and explained the situation but even being his named person the bank said she didn't have the power to stop DD without any legal documents (virgin money) was the bank. She could have copies of bank statements that was about it.
    • I see you said you tried to stop the DD but it seems that didn't work. May I please ask why that didn't work? You should be asking your bank to cancel the DD and I don't see why they would have objected, hopefully you can clarify this. I agree that you should be making a claim here against your bank and ask them for a DD refund. There is no timeframes for this.
    • JK: Yeah That's correct. We left rent payment coming out of his bank account from January 2023 - August 2023 until we could find somewhere to sort out his belongings which was fine. I tried to give notice a few times from August 2023 asking for advice from Sanctuary housing how we went about this explaining his condition and that he was in a Nursing home from December 2022. I explained we don't have any legal powers to his account like POT but were in the process of going for Deputyship and that I was the named person to act on his behalf to speak with Santuary housing. I said we could provide details of his condition and proof he was now in a nursing home with date he moved in. This went ignored despite repeated attempts to contact them until a housing manager contacted us end of February 2024 and notice was finally accepted with his tenancy coming to an end March 22 2024. Although they have continued to take rental payments for the flat despite someone else living in it from the 1st April. I wasn't aware payments were still being taken till I checked his May banks statements. I had asked them to back date rental payments to August 2023 when I gave notice rather than just giving notice in March 2024 but they've ignored that bit. I don't see why they shouldn't give it back they've taken money they shouldn't have. Thanks DX, I wasn't aware we could do that for that length of time. I'll ask my wife to check with the bank this week

    • 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,

I have just logged on to paypal to find my account in a negative situation, I sold an item on ebay for £200, back in January, I have posted it and everythings been fine, the buyer has left positive feddback, but paypal are saying the money was chargedback, so they took the money from me, they cant tell me why it was charged back, but want me to pay this debt, why should I pay it? what have I done wrong? Im seeing if I am eligible for seller protection but really dont know what to do, I have quite a few listings on ebay which are ending soon, if the money goes to my account then I've lost that too, what can I do? can I open a new paypal account, to still use ebay, and shall I cancel all my otems for sale so paypal doesnt get the rest of my money, please help I dont know what to do, also can I go to the police about this, as paypal did not inform me about taking my money, they just took it.

Read all emails from Paypal- the answer as to why the payment ws reversed will be there.

 

Probably because the buyer has fraudulently reported the transaction as unauthorised.

 

Have you contacted the buyer to ask them what they think they are doing?

Hi,

After some digging I have found out that the buyer's instant transfer was reversed by his bank, I didn't know this could happen, this is all the info i have managed to find out so far, I have emailed the buyer and asked whats going on but so far no reply, what should I do now, paypal say I must clear the negative balance, and look into seller protection, as the transaction was protected for whatever that means, please help I dont really know what to do, and paypal aren't being that helpful.

Unfortunately you have become victim to the latest wave in **** bags who buy from ebay, then issue a chargeback because under paypals rules they normally come down in favor of the buyer because the credit card companies refund the money.

 

I had the same happen to me with a mobile phone I sold, the **** bag reversed the charge and didnt answer any emails from me....luckily I had the IMEI number so I reported the phone stolen which would have barred it, however I was then £80 out of pocket + and £80 phone down!.

 

This is the huge risk of dealing with Paypal, the internet is full of these stories and whilst paypal have a monoloply being part of ebay, this will continue to happen!.

Paypal are supposed to enter a dispute resolution before debiting money from your bank.

 

Paypal hasn't followed it own rules - while irrevocably binding the consumer to them. You therefore have restitution under Regulation 5(5) of Schedule 2 of the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 because paypal has obliged you to fulfil all your obligations under their terms of business where Paypal has not perform theirs.

 

Contact your bank and get a refund under the Direct Debit Guarantee. Its up to paypal to take a civil action against the buyer.

Paypal definitely do not follow this rule, when they are hit with a chargeback they will immediately take the money from your account - THEN they will inform you.

 

Its then down to you to fight it, meanwhile being overdrawn in paypal and possibly in your own bank and not having the good either - its VERY rare in these cases for the seller to have any comeback, like has been mentioned even if you have proof of purchase.

 

When it happened to me I immediately deleted my direct debit details from the bank, but did not think of contacting the bank and disputing the payment taken.

Personally i state in my listings that goods won't be posted untill the funds are cleared into my bank account (from Paypal) and im able to withdraw the cash in my hand. This was due to a fraudulent buyer and i learnt my lesson the hard way...

Unfortunately your safeguard is next to useless - if they issue a chargeback, Paypal will simply take the money from you bank account!

Hi,

 

I have had a similar problem with Paypal, I told a wedding dress off ebay and the person paid with paypal. we then posted the dress and the buyer said that she had not recieved the item. She them logged this with paypal as an item not recieved and it resulted in Paypal giving that person her money back. Now, I answered every request that Paypal sent to me and even sent them a copy of the postal reciept. They said that as the buyer had not confirmed that she has recieved the item and she was not answering any of our emails that their was nothing they could do.

 

so we ended up being £120 down as well as the wedding dress down.

 

paypal really dont give a toss about the sellers and it seems that the company is run via robots.

 

anyone know a way that it can be resolved or indeed if this was infact legal?

 

Thanks

MY friend is just having a problem with paypal.

 

He sold a phone. The phone was paid for through paypal so my friend posted it to Lithuania (I would have warned him not to if had known before hand). He then immediately transferred the money into his own bank account of which is awaiting clearance. Now paypal has said the transaction was not valid and his paypal now shows a negative amount. Can paypal take money from his bank account? If he cancels the DD now will it stop the money being tranferred?

 

Surely this is Paypals problem. They say they are safe and secure. If money goes into my paypal I assume that the money is mine.

Paypal is fine as long as you have seller protection.

 

helenm1984 vbmenu_register("postmenu_1362669", true); did you send to a confirmed address?

 

scottvsaunders vbmenu_register("postmenu_1399760", true); proof of posting is useless. To have protection you must use a proof of delviery i.e. must have signature

 

elvisgb vbmenu_register("postmenu_1401718", true); again must be sent via proof of delivery

 

 

If you are selling on ebay and accepting paypal you have to have seller protection or you would have not had any of these problems

 

 

Always send with proof of delivery to a confirmed address.

 

All the above would have not been an issue if the paypal 'rules' were followed.

Requesting Proof of Delivery is also useless - have you ever seen some of the signatures and printed names on the PODs? If they are illegible or indeed signed by a person that you weren't even sending to, they are useless in court /Paypal.

I was in the same situation and followed paypal's rules to the letter and still they got the debt collectors on to me! I found it didn't make any difference whether the item was sent special delivery with signature! Paypal still refused!

 

Would never use them again!
