    • 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.
    • I cannot locate anything in my paper work that states 2 payments were made? Perhaps you could point this out? In reply from IAS it states "The ticketing data has been attached" nothing was sent to me. I made a response to the IAS all this was done online
    • Thanks again for your responses. The concern I have here, is that freeholder of the land (a company, who presumably would have been the ones to have initially instructed PPM to manage the parking here), will have proof of exactly how long the vehicle was on site for, as the driver was meeting operatives from that company on a separate matter. On this basis, if the matter was to get to court, I feel all the other technicalities about signage, size of signage/font, lack of start/finish times, will not be enough to have any case dropped? This PCN was brought up to the freeholder but they have advised that PPM will not waive this charge.

    • 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.

Having seen T.V progs and read this site I decided to take action against some horrendous charges on my account.

In May the Abbey failed to reinstate my overdraft due to a 'System failure' This resulted in most of my DDs failing.The O/D was reinstated the day after and I did not get charged for these. However, I charged them according to their own terms and conditions £190 for failing to pay these DDs when there were sufficient funds available. This naturally after detailed investigation was blamed on the system and not the Abbey's fault therfore they were not responsible for the £190.

After comprehensive research, Trevor Macdonald and this site, I sent the Abbey the data protection letter along with the £10 on 14th June. I have since recieved two letters from the complaints department dated the 27th June, one being the standard garbage about investigation etc etc. The other states the expected sh*t about terms and conditions and that the Abbey's current account is good value and compare favourably with the other banks. It also goes on to say that if the complaint escalates into a claim in the County Court they would consider giving notice to close the account. The last part of this letter seems different than the ones that I have read about so far.

As a gesture of good will they would be willing to Waive the £180 of charges incurred in March in full and final settlement of this complaint.:?

I have 2 questions.

Is this normal Abbey procedure in trying to pay as little as possible?

Can I accept the £180 and carry on with trying to get my money back? If so what words do I need to add to the acceptance form that I was sent.:-o

that is a standard part of their letter. for most people they dont carry out this action. I myself have had to return my cards and books also so has nnelson.

open a parachute account as soon as possible.

I have opened a NatWest step account and am very very happpy with the NatWest so far.

their banking system is far superior to the abbey.

when it states my available balance it is my AVAILABLE BALANCE.

unlike the abbey check your available balance and it isnt. they will tell you that, i have had many arguements with abbey and they quite catarogorically tell me you cant go by the available balance. They say i should keep a tally of it. why then do i need them if i am going to do my own banking.

REWARDSNOW AND CREDITSCOREMATTERS ARE NOW GETTING THEIR COME UPPANCE, I WILL MAKE SURE OF THAT

 

Grabby bank are the thorn in my side.

Claim issued 31st may 06

Hi, thanks for that I am now in the process of opening a parachute account.

Just one other question though, can I accept the £180 offered as I have not actually complained about my charges yet I have just asked about my transactions with the data protection letter?

Unless you accept their offer as a full and final settlement, (which I assume you won't) they will withdraw the offer. So effectively the answer is no.

Although you have not yet made a complaint YET ....the very nature of you asking for DPA information would have told them this is coming.

Make no mistake by now they KNOW about it !!!

 

 

The offer will be withdrawn and you are then free to pursue the process of recovering the lot.

Have accepted their kind offer but will be looking at reclaiming their unlawful charges. Also reminded them that the 40 days were still running.

 

Have also started a claim against Forthright finance but this is another thread in the RBS forum.

Yes I knew about the March charges. Have had periodic money hiccups over the last six years and estimate untill disclosure approx £2000. Like most others have sometimes begged for leniency only to be told that I agreed to THEIR terms and conditions and not a chance of recinding the charges. Even time to pay (half this month and the same next month) fell on deaf ears. Would love to really sue the Backside off them but reading the other posts on that subject will only go for what I honestly think they owe me, unless disclosure actually happens. Will keep you posted about the next reply, Should be interesting.

 

Cheers.

Flinty disclosure is your RIGHT from my reckoning the 40 days is up in about 10 days ?

 

If they fail to give you this then get a letter out !

I have been refunded the £180 with no letter of explanation. My last contact stated:

 

Dear Heather White,

Thank you for your letter dated 27th June 2006. I accept the offer of £180 but in full and final settlement of what?

As I have not yet officially complained about any thing that the bank has done, I have only asked for a complete record of my transactions for the last six years. Consequently I can only surmise that the bank is now worried about the amount off charges that have been levied against me.

 

I now suspect that this offer will not be honoured by yourselves and I will await the arrival of my previous request. . I have noted that you received my request on 15/06/2006 and the deadline is Tuesday 25th July 2006. Non-compliance by the forty day deadline will result in legal action being taken against the Abbey.

 

I have had no further contact with the bank and I am waiting until Tuesday before starting to get Heavy with them. Also they have yet to take the £10 from my account, is this yet another stalling tactic?

Indeed nothing is suprising from these people who certainly have more staling than an Austin Allegro................

 

If their offer ws not signed and returned then they could not apply it as accepted.

 

I would send off the non compliance letter asap (see temps in bank letters)

 

Or if you know the figures then carry on with a prelim (taking away the 180.00)

 

In the body of your non compliance letter you could add something like...........

 

 

Whilst I acknowledge a partial refund of 180.00 I do not consider this anywhere near the total figure that I will be seeking repayment of,in respect of unlawful penalty charges applied to my account and I shall be pursuing the full amount.

You should of course await the 25th.

An 11th hour response is quite likely................although in Abbeys case this could even be 5 minutes before the deadline !!!

Just about too start typing out. I will base my estimate on the statements that I have, but think that they will be more as I had a really bad run in 2001. Will also state that I reserve the right to amend, etc.

 

Have also written the non-complianec letter that I will post tommorrow.

 

Forthright finance however are behaving like school kids, obviously never had some one challenge them before. Please read my other thread in RBS at the moment)

I stand corrected (probably not the last time) Will send this now ish ( when post office opens). Thanks for the reminder would have looked a fool otherwise. Mind you have been a fool trusting Abbey for years.

 

Non-compliance letter will still be going off at the same time.

Hi all, sorry about the delay but had other probs that needed sorting.

 

However can somebody tell me what this actually means,

b) a declaration from this honourable court that the term of the contract leading to the application of the charges is unenforceable;

Bankfodder says to include in your claim if you feel lucky, I have done so (in my forthright claim) but cannot find out exactly what it means

 

As for the Abbey the 1st letter asking for it back is about to go with the estimated charges. Will also be filing with the court about their non-compliance over the data protection act.

You are asking the court to make a legal determination on the validity of their terms and conditions.

 

Assuming you win the judge would make a statement as to the lawfulness of the charges

 

This would obviously make the banks a little more uneasy at the prospect of going to court unless they have found a defence.
