    • 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.

Was wondering if anyone would have any advise or other options?

 

Had an arrangement with a credit card company to make a monthly payment each month while in financial difficulties also my interest had been frozen for this duration.

 

I have now come to the end of arrangement but still in financial difficulites. Have sent another personal budget statement and asked to continue arrangement but they have replied saying they cant do this. The company concerned have stated they have two options, if in short term problems they will set up arrangement and suspend interest for six months which is what they have done with me. The second option is for long term problems which is to set up another arrangement the interest will be frozen but my account will have to be passed to collections department and account will go into default status. Anyone know what else I my be able to do don't want my account to be defaulted this will show on my credit file for 6 years, I think?

 

Any advise will be appreciated...

I'm afraid that they can do this legally (morally is another question).

 

Do you think there are any charges on the account? If so, perhaps a SAR will give you the info and you can start reclaiming them, therefore reducing the debt.

All help is merely my opinion only - please seek legal advice if you need to as I am only qualified in SEN law.

Thanks for answering my thread Tiglet.

 

No there aren't any charges. Just thought there may have been a loop hole. Doesn't seem fair I'm doing all the right things by keeping them up to date and sticking to my monthly payments, I know they have to earn some money from me but the amount I can pay at present and the added interest payments will mean my balance wont reduce?

 

Looks like I may have to default!

Have you sent off the CCA request to ensure they have a legal right to collect the debt?

 

Could be a good bargaining tool if they don't ...

Whats a signed enforcement agreement?

 

My account hasn't been defaulted yet but will if I have to take the long term option they advised me of, as they have already helped me on a short term bases. The only way they can help me now is pass my account to collections dept and and set up payment agreement and freeze interest but on doing this my account will have to go into default?

 

Does that make sense?

Well, this is what they are saying to you - but lizzy - do you really think they will tell you all of your options?

 

A CCA request is basically asking them to prove they have a legal right to collect the debt. It should include all of the prescribed terms as set down by the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

 

If they do not have a copy which meets the terms, they cannot enforce the debt by legal means. this is a good way to bargain with them to freeze interest etc.

No problem Lizzie - always best to weigh up all of the options and decide what is best for your situation.

Not sure whether thats the right way to go as I'm not trying to avoid my debt and by going down that root I will be more or less saying I'm not paying and don't want to pay. If I did ask for a CCA request would my account be put on hold and would interest still be accumulating?

 

I'm so confused?

I'm not advocating debt avoidance (and never would) - however, they are presenting you with limited options.

 

You have a legal right to ask for a copy of your CCA at anytime. If they cannot produce one, as I've said, you may be able to use that to negotiate them freezing your interest.
