    • Well done.   Please let us know how it goes or come back with any questions. HB
    • Incorrect as the debt will have been legally assigned to the DCA and they are therefore now the legal creditor. Read up on debt assignment.   Andy
    • Thanks Man in the Middle and everyone it's greatly appreciated form was filled in online yesterday now just have to wait and see
    • Hi,    I'm almost done. One question is should I include a header with " Claimant's Trial Documents" or something similar and include a copy of my WX from the trial since that has the claim form defence and documents that were relied upon at trial so that the judge can see that? or should I assume they will already have those documents on the file and so simply include a short statement of case to show the case I intend to prove at the appeal should permission be granted. Since I've made a shorter concise statement of case setting out what I intend to prove at an appeal hearing I'm thinking maybe removing the header of "Documents/Exhibits for use for Permission to Appeal   " since the permission to appeal focuses on the grounds of law and so I'm thinking of just having   Appellant's documents Statement Of Case Skeleton Argument    Then a seperate category named Trial Documents Claim Form Defence Claimant's Witness statement Exhibibts to Claimant's trial witness statement   I'm wondering you think would be better, only because I don't reference a single exhibit in my appeal statement of case since I am just explaining the undeveloped points of law around why the judge is wrong since the  statement only focuses on permission, not the outcome of the appeal so there is no reference to any exhibits?   Or should I just remove exhibits and not add trial documents or exhibits on the understanding the judge will already have the trial documents and that if permission is granted I then include them in my appeal bundle.   Thanks   N/B My statement of case doesn't have the claim form or defence or any witness staements in. it is simply a short 4 page document setting out the claim history and the points I intend to prove at the final appeal hearing should permission be granted.

    • 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.

Do you want to start a new thread in the HSBC question where you will get all the help and support you need.

 

Just a quick check though... have you followed the procedure outlined in this site? Did you send letters recorded delivery? How much are you claiming?

Just the FAQ’s ma'am. Please read 'em thoroughly before jumping in. Cheers :)

Being a man, I am always right (however I will make no admission of liability if you have misinterpreted my instructions!! :) ) If you are in any doubt, then consult a professional. All opinions offered on this site are just that, and should not be taken as legal advice.

I read and re-read countless times all the info on the site. I followed the directions, send recorded delivery and am claiming £1852 for 2 years charges. Sorry didn't realise there was a specific place to post I look after my 10 month old twins all day so my brain has gone to mush a bit lol

In that case.. if you have followed the steps then you have nothing to worry about! If the 14 days is up then you may need to take court action to get back your bank charges but this is not as intimidating as it sounds.

 

As mentioned, if you find the HSBC forum on the main page, you will find a lot more people in the same situation as you.

 

Good luck :)

I have only banked with HSBC for just over 2 years and during this time I felt their charges, totalling almost £1900, were unfair to say the least but had no idea they were unlawful. Sat eating my toast watching GMTV I heard them talking about people reclaiming charges so I of course turned up the volume.

The advice given was fairly basic but after spending a few days readind anything and everything on this site I decided to go for it.

I sent my prelim 3 weeks ago recorded delivery and today sent them the LBA. I waited 3 weeks as I felt it would give them 15 clear working days to respond. Why I did this though when they ring me on weekends, bank holidays and in the evening asking me to pay money in to cover charges they are about to take is beyond me.

They haven't even had the decency to send me a message via internet banking. I must admit though I am a little scared by the prospect of potentially having to go to court but i guess at the end of the day what they have done is against the law and you wouldn't think twice about taking someone to court that had stolen your purse would you?!

dont panic, people are here to help you, if you need reassurance , come here and get it, dont be scared about going to court, for one thing no-one from hsbc has gone to court yet , but secondly, YOU are in the right and the bank knows this, you have them by their tail, and they want to escape, they will try and fob you off , and tell you, that you cant win, dont listen to them, stick to your timetable, and follow the steps, and you'll get your money :)

It's a little bit daunting I thought although once I'd sent my first letter I couldn't help but feel pleased with myself. Please do keep me informed as to the stage of your claim as I will with you

:confused: Hi folks, can i double check something before i commit pen to paper- i have gone through my statements over past 5 years ( still a few to track down) and i have a list of 'charges'. Now some are marked as charges for returned direct debits, uncleared cheques; others are the monthly 'bank services' which range between 54, 72, and 125 per month related to my overdraft. The overall total thus far is 2253. can i just get some clarity - am i claiming for all of this or just those items labelled as 'charge' for failed cheques, unpaid direct debits etc?

 

thanks

just to clarify total charges is for o/d exceeding and is charged per day they add all these up at the end of the month, and are seperate from other charges

I got all my copy statments from online banking and sent a prelim letter to my bank with a schedule of charges attached for their information. After waiting 3 weeks to ensure they had 14 clear working days to deal with my letter I hadn't heard anything so I then sent the LBA again attaching the charges sheet. Today I received a letter from them which reads :

 

Thank you for your request with regard to information about charges and fees on your account for the last 6 years and please accept our aplologies for the delay in our response.

 

We note you do not want copy statements, however this is the only format in which the bank holds the information you require. For this reason duplicate statements have been ordered on all your accounts, including your credit card.

 

Yours blah blah

 

Firstly is this just a standard letter? My reason for thinking this is I have only held the account for just over 2 years and I don't have a credit card.

 

What do I do now I'm really confused. :confused:

i requested my statements through online banking, they sent me the exact same letter as you, and i dont have a credit card with them either, this is just s standard letter im sure, if i were you i would just ignore this letter and stick to your timetable

 

i received a letter a few days later saying that they had looked into my case......not unlawful.....terms and conditions etc etc. also said that i had not quantified my claim with a list of charges (no because i had just requested my statements and stated my intention) they said they could not prepare my claim fo rme and would take no further action.

have recieved my statements and calculated £610 charges, not including interest as i cant be bothered to work out how much of it was me going over my od and how much was their charges making me go over my od.

anyway,im sending my prelim soon, hope to do it by email, check out my post if you think you can help me:

Just want to mention this is exactly what I received. A few weeks later I received about 30 envelopes with the statements for the last 6 years!!!! Yikes!!!

 

I am now in the process of entering it into Microsoft Money as well as working what the charges they have added

 

So, yeah, you will receive your statements. Personally think this is to scare people off. I am going to work the charges out myself and send my 2nd letter

 

Thanks

I am so confused :confused: I got all my statments from my online banking facility worked out all the charges and sent the prelim and schedule of charges recorded delivery. After 3 weeks I heard nothing so I sent the LBA again rec del. The following day I got a letter in the post saying the only way they can give me info on charges is via my statements which they would duly send me. I received all of these in the post today but am unsure what to do as I have already worked out my charges and sent 2 letters. They have a week left before the LBA deadline is reached. HELP!!

It looks likes letters are crossing in the post

From your post you have all your statements

1.You sent prelimary request for refund

2.After 14 days you send LBA

If sent recorded delivery have they been signed for?

I would continue with you deadlines and issue proceeding if they have not responded in a timely manner as you have already given them 28 days
