    • Hello dx100uk, After months of waiting for a response I finally got a reply and I must say it was the worst 4 months of my life the - fear of the unknown. So, they wrote back and said I was in the wrong BUT on this occasion they  would not take action but keep me on file for the next 12 months. It. was the biggest relief of my life a massive weight lifted -  I would like to thank you and the team for all your support
    • I have contacted the sofa shop who are sending someone out tomorrow to inspect the furniture. I suspect if anything a replacement will be offered although I would prefer a refund. Few photos of the wear in the material, this is how it was delivered.  
    • Yup, for goodness sake she needs to stop paying right now, DCA's are powerless, as .  Is it showing on their credit file? Best to use Check my file. All of the above advice is excellent, definitely SAR the loan company as soon as possible.
    • Hi all, I am wandering if this is appealable. It has already been through a challenge on the Islington website and the it was rejected. Basically there was a suspended bay sign on a post on Gee st which was obscured by a Pizza van. The suspension was for 3 bays outside 47 Gee st. I parked outside/between 47 & 55 Gee st. I paid via the phone system using a sign a few meters away from my car. When I got back to the car there was a PCN stuck to the windscreen which I had to dry out before I could read it due to rain getting into the plastic sticky holder.  I then appealed using the Islington website which was then rejected the next day. I have attached a pdf of images that I took and also which the parking officer took. There are two spaces in front of the van, one of which had a generator on it the other was a disabled space. I would count those as 3 bays? In the first image circled in red is the parking sign I read. In the 2nd image is the suspension notice obscured by the van. I would have had to stand in the middle of the road to read this, in fact that's where I was standing when I took the photo. I have pasted the appeal and rejection below. Many thanks for looking. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my appeal statement: As you can see from the image attached (image 1) I actually paid £18.50 to park my car in Gee st. I parked the car at what I thought was outside 55 Gee st as seen in image 2 attached. When I read the PCN issued it stated there was a parking suspension. There was no suspension notice on the sign that I used to call the payment service outside number 55 Gee st. I looked for a suspension notice and eventually found one which was obscured by a large van and generator parked outside 47 Gee st. As seen in images 3 and 4 attached. I am guessing the parking suspension was to allow the Van to park and sell Pizza during the Clerkenwell design week. I was not obstructing the use or parking of the van, in fact the van was obstructing the suspension notice which meant I could not read or see it without prior knowledge it was there. I would have had to stand in the road to see it endangering myself as I had to to take images to illustrate the hidden notice. As there was no intention to avoid a parking charge and the fact the sign was not easily visible I would hope this challenge can be accepted. Many thanks.   This is the text from the rejection: Thank you for contacting us about the above Penalty Charge Notice (PCN). The PCN was issued because the vehicle was parked in a suspended bay or space. I note from your correspondence that there was no suspension notice on the sign that you used to call the payment serve outside number 55 Gee Street. I acknowledge your comments, however, your vehicle was parked in a bay which had been suspended. The regulations require the suspension warning to be clearly visible. It is a large bright yellow sign and is erected by the parking bay on the nearest parking plate to the area that is to be suspended. Parking is then not permitted in the bay for any reason or period of time, however brief. The signs relating to this suspension were sited in accordance with the regulations. Upon reviewing the Civil Enforcement Officer's (CEO's) images and notes, I am satisfied that sufficient signage was in place and that it meets statutory requirements. Whilst I note that the signage may have been obstructed by a large van and generator at the time, please note, it is the responsibility of the motorist to locate and check the time plate each time they park. This will ensure that any changes to the status of the bay are noted. I acknowledge that your vehicle possessed a RingGo session at the time, however, this does not authorize parking within a suspended bay. Suspension restrictions are established to facilitate specific activities like filming or construction, therefore, we anticipate the vehicle owner to relocate the vehicle from the suspended area until the specified date and time when the suspension concludes. Leaving a vehicle unattended for any period of time within a suspended bay, effectively renders the vehicle parked in contravention and a Civil Enforcement Officer (CEO) may issue a PCN. Finally, the vehicle was left parked approximately 5 metres away from the closest time plate notice. It is the responsibility of the driver to ensure they park in a suitable parking place and check all signs and road markings prior to leaving their vehicle parked in contravention. It remains the driver's responsibility to ensure that the vehicle is parked legally at all times. With that being said, I would have to inform you, your appeal has been rejected at this stage. Please see the below images as taken by the CEO whilst issuing the PCN: You should now choose one of the following options: Pay the penalty charge. We will accept the discounted amount of £65.00 in settlement of this matter, provided it is received by 10 June 2024. After that date, the full penalty charge of £130.00 will be payable. Or Wait for a Notice to Owner (NtO) to be issued to the registered keeper of the vehicle, who is legally responsible for paying the penalty charge. Any further correspondence received prior to the NtO being issued may not be responded to. The NtO gives the recipient the right to make formal representations against the penalty charge. If we reject those representations, there will be the right of appeal to the Environment and Traffic Adjudicator.   Gee st pdf.pdf

    • 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 guys

Just about to embark upon my first ever charges reclaim and I have chosen Lloyds TSB to start with.

I will endeavor to keep you all updated with my progress on this thread as things develop.

But first a question or two....

I have nearly all my statements going all the way back to 1977, is it still therefore advisable to request copies from Lloyds via the data protection act or can I rely on the original documents?

I have read that most of you have been claiming for the last six years charges, but that some people have successfully claimed more, given that I have 30+ years of statements, should I go the whole hog and go for the lot?

Also, what about allowing for inflation? Back in 1992 (for instance) the fee for an unpaid item was £4, and £7 for any unauthorised borrowing (how things as changed, as the banks have become more money grabbing!) of course the £4 and £7's they deprived me of in 1992 would buy far more than it will buy today, so if I reclaim just the £4 & £7's (many times over of course) I will be loosing out big time on the inflationary effects, so is there any way of factoring all this into my calculations?

Wow that will be some claim. I like your style. No, you do not need to do a SAR if you have all your statements. I suppose you will need to have information on the rates of inflation over the years and evaluate the charges at their current value.

 

I'm not sure how the courts would view this, although there are opinions that if you did not know the charges were unlawful the Statute of Limitations doesn't apply.

 

Interesting plan - keep us posted.

Hi and welcome :)

 

 

I have nearly all my statements going all the way back to 1977, is it still therefore advisable to request copies from Lloyds via the data protection act or can I rely on the original documents?

 

No need to send in a SAR if you have the originals :)

 

I have read that most of you have been claiming for the last six years charges, but that some people have successfully claimed more, given that I have 30+ years of statements, should I go the whole hog and go for the lot?

 

I've sat here thinking about this for a while and still in two minds part of me is saying go for it and part of me is erring on the edge of caution ...

 

 

Also, what about allowing for inflation? Back in 1992 (for instance) the fee for an unpaid item was £4, and £7 for any unauthorised borrowing (how things as changed, as the banks have become more money grabbing!) of course the £4 and £7's they deprived me of in 1992 would buy far more than it will buy today, so if I reclaim just the £4 & £7's (many times over of course) I will be loosing out big time on the inflationary effects, so is there any way of factoring all this into my calculations?

s69 interest on a £4 charge 20 years ago is just over £10 :)

Wrong - decimalisation was in 1971 - I was 10 at the time - so half crowns are out of the equation.

Actually, between 1977 and 1991 there have been very few charges, so either I have been a very good boy, or the banks weren't taking full advantage in those days!

 

Since 1992 though things have changed radically

What you need to do is go through all your statements and highlight all the charges then compile a schedule of charges using one of the spreadshees found here an example of how to fill the simple one in can be found here

s69 interest is the statutary 8% that can be claimed.

 

Have a read of the FAQ's and the Step-by-step instructions these will explain a lot of the reclaiming process :)

 

hope that helps

That would have been the good old days when bank managers were human beings at the end of a phone who made sensible decisions about whether to let you go a few coppers overdrawn, as they would know your account and know that you would cover the shortfall as soon as possible.:p

OK just preparing my Preliminary Approach for Repayment letter and I notice in the FAQ this...

 

If you obtained your statements online you will not have asked for details of manual intervention as this is in the DATA PROTECTION ACT LETTER, so it may be useful to add this paragraph to this letter.

 

This obviously applies to me as I already have the vast majority of my statements.

 

The relevant paragraphs are...

 

Additionally, where there has been any event in my account history over this period which has required manual intervention by any member of your staff, or any other person, I require disclosure of any indication or notes which have either caused or resulted in that manual intervention, or other evidence of that manual intervention in relation to my banking business with you.

 

If you are unable to supply this data because there has been no such manual intervention, then please be so kind as to confirm this in your response

 

 

Can anyone suggest a suitable modification to the wording so that I can add it to my Preliminary Approach for Repayment letter (dont want to make any mistakes at this stage)? Also because I am asking for this data, will I still need to send them the £10 fee?

 

Also as mentioned in my original post, it is my intention to claim for the erosion in value of the money they have deprived me of through the years.

 

Can anyone therefore also suggest a suitably worded replacement for this text as contained in the standard Preliminary Approach for Repayment letter?

 

What I require

I calculate that you have taken £XXXXX plus £XXX which you have charged me in overdraft interest for the sum which you have taken. Total £XXXXX .

I enclose a schedule of the charges which I am claiming with this letter.

Yes you are probably right, and that approach probably cost them far more in those days and if and when they charged, they charged less!! :confused:

It might be worth sending a full SAR to them; I wonder how far back their information will go. I would imagine they will only send you six years statements but you will probably get all the extra information - I am doubtful if they will send it if you put the request in your reclaim letter.

 

What you are really doing with the ancient charges is 'index linking' them. Perhaps you could add in an extra column on your spreadsheet and for each year work out today's value of the charges. I am sure there will be websites that can calculate that value.

Found an excellent compound interest spreadsheet written by Mindzai here on CAG http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general/51736-excel-contractual-interest-spreadsheet.html?highlight=minzias

 

Only problem is the main download link is not working? But towards the end of the thread someone has kindly left a link to their own personal copy :) ....it downloads but the only problem is someone has deleted some of the formulas on one page, so it doesnt work correctly :(

 

Good news is that I have managed to fix it, and have uploaded a fully functional version for download from here Mindzias Compound Contractual Interest Spreadsheet

 

Hope this helps

 

Many thanks to Mindzai for his original work
