    • In my experience (not with car payments) but with many other things, my partner has been ill and signed off in the past and we have been unable to meet various commitments.  Naturally if you ring the call centre they are going to fob you off and tell you you must pay, that's why that never ever works. I would obtain a note from her GP listing all her health issues plus medications plus side effects, then write to the finance company with a copy of it, explaining the situation, as you have here, asking for a payment holiday. Perhaps mention that the car is very much needed for hospital appointments etc. It's likely the finance company would rather you pay till term end than, chase you for money they will never see, and sell the car at auction for a loss,  You can search some of my threads going back years, advising people to do this for Council Tax, Tax Credits, HMRC, Even a solicitors company and it always works, because contrary to popular belief people are reasonable.
    • Sorry, I haven't ever seen one of these agreements. Read it all and look out for anything that says when she can withdraw and when she is committed to go ahead. If it isn't clear she may need to call the housing provider and simply say what you posted here, she doesn't want to go ahead and how does she withdraw her swap application?
    • Thank you! Your head is like a power bank of knowledge.  Her health issues are short term, due to a relationship breakdown she took it pretty hard and has been signed off work on medication for 3 months. She only started her job in February 24 so does not qualify for any occupational sick benefits, which is where the ssp only comes in. (You will see me posting a few things over the coming days, whilst I try and sort some things for her)  I sat with her last night relaying all this back and she does want to work out a plan, she was ready to propose £100 for the next 3 months and then an additional £70 per month onto of her contractual to "catch up" but Money247 rejecting the payment holiday and demanding £200 thew her, which is why I came on here.   
    • I've looked at your case specifically more.   Term 8bii reads " when, in accordance with instructions from the Customer or the Consignee, the Consignment is left in a safe place" Their terms choose to not define safe, so they are put to proof that the location is safe. If your property opens onto a street its a simple thing of putting a google earth image and pointing out that its not a safe place

    • 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.

Well HSBC replied before Abbey, in a record 9 days. The total amount over the three current accounts comes to a grand total of £5072 which is unbelievable! It makes me seriously angry at myself for letting it get to that amount, but I am half happy and thinking of it as a little savings account (As long as I get it back in the end!) Some of the accounts have charges up to £100 listed as overdraft fees, it doesn't say whether this was for one 'offence' or whether they have lumped aload together under one charge which I see as quite strange.

 

They have explained in the letter that everything is on hold pending the OFT case but I will send the letters and see what happens!

Hi again deetec,

 

I would say it's important that you keep to the timetable right up to the court stage ,where it may be stayed if that's still the policy..... it may be by the time you get to that stage things will be clearer (hopefully!:))

 

Don't let HSBC or their legal eagles (DG) divert you from your goal with waffle.........

So - make a start - produce your Schedule of Charges and Prelim letter, asking for it back - and come back anytime and ask if there's anything you want to know......

You've made a start

Best of Luck

johnny :D

does the above mean that we have no claim against the banks for excessive charges on personal accounts until the test case in the courts???

 

i had thought the personal claims were ok but anyone with a business account had to wait for the test case

Plesae could someone advice

Hello lwtl,

 

It means that you can still submit a claim to the courts, but it may be stayed until the final outcome of the Test case is determined. The main part of this case is over , but the banks are dragging it out and the OFT haven't made up their mind what they're going to do with their powers......:rolleyes:

 

The body of the Test case was directed at personal claims I'm afraid - so it's a case of 'wait and see' at the moment. However ,if you're not yet at the court stage, then this site is advising that you carry on with your action (regardless of any attempt to waylay you by the banks!),and take it as far as you can. The reasoning behind this is that any claims 'in the system ' so to speak, will be cleared first.

Hi there, Thanks for the extra advice!

Another question.... As we are claiming for three accounts do they all go on the one schedule or is it best to keep the accounts seperate and do one for each?

 

Thanks

I'd be inclined to keep them separate, deetec, if only to keep the amounts manageable under the 'small claims' banner, (which is usually £5000 tops.)Although they have been known to deal with claims over that amount, when you take in the 8% interest which will be claimable at the court stage ,it'll take it considerably over ......

 

It will also make it clear to the bank which individual account you are referring to -to save them getting confused...... :rolleyes:

We have sent the LBA and recieved a letter back from HSBC stating that

 

'Unfortunately, both your signature and the address quoted on your letter differ from those on your records, before we action your request we need confirmation that your signature is valid' and the goes on to say that I have to go into a branch with proof of ID.

 

I wouldn't imagine that they had much of a problem with the address seeing its the same address they posted this letter to!

 

I have seen letter templates on the site re sig problems with the DPA forms, can anyone tell me if these are valid for the LBA aswell (the acts and sections quoted?

 

Thanks in advance!
