    • 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.

I've just read enough is enough thread - and am totally inspired now!

 

Yesterday I was charged unpaid DD fee as my account was overdrawn. The reason? Halifax unauthorised OD fee from previous month - classic!! I've checked my online statements back to April 05 and was horrified to discover I've paid £2258 in charges during that time - I was shocked as to how quickly they add up.

 

So now it's time to start the ball rolling - my data protection letter is done and will be in tomorrow's post!

 

Just 1 question - there's a lot of advice about setting up a new bank account, is there any particular banks/accounts you can suggest?

 

Will keep you posted! Thanks for the website ;)

At the risk of sounding really unhelpful, and I appologise if I am, but the more I read about banks the more I think our great grandparents had the right idea. "Keep it under the mattress"

Failing that Mr M Lewis' website had some really positive stuff to say about the Alliance and Leciester a little while ago.

I have just been accepted to have a gold current account with Norwich and Peterborough. Their charges are less than most. They also take you if you have bad credit history, as I am proof, as I have quite a few defaults. They will also give you visa debit card and possibly initial overdraft of 500 pounds. Website is Internet banking, online current accounts, mortgages, personal loans, credit cards - Norwich & Peterborough Building Society

  1. 09/08/2006 - Halifax Account 1 settled in full! £2597.50 :D
  2. 05/10/2006 - Halifax Account 2 settled in full after Prelim ;)
  3. 07/02/2007 - Halifax Accts 1 & 2 further charges - won by default, settled in full
  4. 12/02/2007 - Halifax Account 1 - further charges whilst 3. court claim progressing. Settled in full.
  5. 13/11/2009 - Halifax Account 1 - action begins to fight new overdraft charges

This sounds very interesting. Not wishing to "hijakc" I think the term is, but does anyone have any experience of this building society, especially in the area of mortgages or childrens savings accounts. If so could you PM me if you feel it appropriate. Like I said, I'd say put it here but I don't want to pull a thread off course as it were.

Many thanks.

I sent my request for transactions letter the other day - hopefully won't take too long !! In the meantime, I realised I had my statements and charge letters back to April 05 'cos I use paper-free banking, so I decided to send prelim letter for this period now (to get the ball rolling - £2375 :eek: ), and will claim upto end March 05 when I get copy statements back - not sure if I can have more than 1 claim running at once but I'm happy to do it 1 at a time!

 

On the parachute account front - I've looked around at basic bank accounts, and the only 2 I found that allow you a debit card are NatWest Step (Solo) and Co-op Cashminder (visa electron). I've opted for Co-op as their unpaid item charges are only £19.50 and I can still do all my internet banking (with NatWest Step you can't pay bills online). Their site also says they don't charge you for being overdrawn (Halifax charge me £28 + interest). I did check this with Co-op, the conversation went like this:

 

MrsR - "you're unpaid item charge is £19.50"

Co-op- "that's right"

MrsR - "what's your charge for being overdrawn?"

Co-op - "well you can't have an overdraft with this account"

MrsR - "I know, and to be honest I don't want one. But for example, if my balance is £10 and I have DD to pay for £20, obviously it won't be paid and you'll charge me £19.50"

Co-op - "that's correct"

MrsR - "but £19.50 charge will make me overdrawn by £9.50 - what will the charge be for that?"

Co-op - "we wouldn't charge you for that" !!!

 

I double checked this with the lady on the phone and she said they definately wouldn't charge. Can this be true?! Does anyone else have experience of this?

 

Any comments/advice greatly appreciated :)

 

What a great site this is - so glad I found it! And will definately be making donation when I get MY money back :grin:

I did look at this account, but you don't get a debit card with the basic bank account version - I did find the page for this account (on their website) a bit confusing! But thanks anyway gemmabe!

I received standard reply letter on Tuesday - "we're sorry you're not happy...." etc etc, and they'll get back to me within 4 weeks!

 

Obviously, I won't wait that long but do I need to write to them telling them this or just wait till 14 days is up then send LBA? I'm sure this has been raised in other threads (so apologies for asking same question again), but I couldn't find it or remember what the answer was :confused:

 

Any advice greatly appreciated :-)

This update's a bit late - kids :cool:

 

I received a letter from Claire McBride, Review Manager, on Saturday saying they are allowed to make these charges, etc, to cover their costs, etc etc etc, and as goodwill gesture offering me £310 in full and final settlement - thanks but I want all my money please!

 

The letter also had the following paragraph:

"You have requested information on how we calculate our costs for dealing with these transactions. (unpaid DD) Please note that we are not obliged under the Data Protection Act to supply this information, and as it is commercially sensitive, I regret to inform you that I am unable to comply with your request."

 

I've seen the bit about "not obliged to keep/record this information" in other threads, but never where DPA has been quoted before. Does it mean the same thing? That if they can't/won't give me this information, it's not justifiable?

 

I'll be doing LBA on Friday to say thanks for the offer, I'll accept £310 as partial refund but will still be going to court for the rest if you don't pay!

 

Any comments/advice greatly appreciated :)

Hi Mrs R

 

Not hijacking your thread, but i have received the blah blah 4 weeks letter to day as well. I am still intending to send the LBA on Monday 24th(14 day timetable) but do you know if you can send it as it is or will it need rewording and include something along the lines of "not prepared to wait a further 4 weeks"?

Hi Nona

From what I've read in other's threads and FAQs, I don't think you need to mention about not waiting 4 weeks, etc - anyone, please let me know if I'm wrong! I think the LBA template (obviously adjusted for your own circumstances) is fine as it is. I'm going to include a bit in mine that says I accept offer of £xxx in partial settlement, but I still expect refund of remaining charges and if that's not forthcoming, then I'll be going to small claims court.

 

Good luck with your claim, keep us posted :)

Just about to complete my LBA - just a quick question (I hope!)

 

I read in someone' elses thread (sorry can't remember which 1 now) that you can update the amount you're claiming at each stage - I understand you can increase you're claim to cover recent charges at the court stage, but can I add in charges made between prelim letter and LBA? I've recieved 2 more in the 2 weeks since I sent my prelim letter!

 

Thanks for everyone's help - this is a really great site :D

 

PS hubby has done prelim letter to Halifax Card Services to claim back £650 so will be making donation when we receive that back as well !

  • 4 weeks later...

Just an update - it's been a while but been to sunny Devon on hols and now a little behind on the 14 day time limit (I hope that doesn't matter too much)!

 

I received another letter from Halifax with an increased offer of £926 and reiterating they are keen to resolve our concerns - not keen enough refund all charges and stop it going to court though!

 

So it would seem I get to have a little trip to the local county court this week - lovely :D I decided to go to the court and do it in person in the hope it takes some of my anxiety (or is it fear) away!

 

My husband also received a response to his prelim letter while we were away - but I'll start another thread on that as I was a little surprised by their response.

 

Nona, hope your claim is on track and going well

Hi Mrs R,

Hope you had a good holiday-i'm off tomorrow. I wouldn't worry about it being more than 14 days-you've just been generous enough to give Halifax a little Extra !! (time that is) Boom Boom:D

 

I issued my claim agains H on 07/08 and it was acknowledged next day. I'm just waiting to hear something now.

 

Fingers crossed for you and hubby's claim
