    • If you’ve ever wondered how you might fare in armed combat, the first 20 minutes of Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan is likely to make you thank your lucky stars you were born too late to storm the Normandy beaches on June 6 1944. I suspect many of us might be driven to identify with those men who were absolutely turned to stone by fear. And yet these young men, mainly conscripts, screwed their courage to the sticking point and did the job the fate had chosen for them, heroes all.   .. UK PM Sunak perhaps thinks he understands mind numbing fear better than many as he dishonorably fled the beachhead to do nothing more than double down on dishonest spin and lies from the safety of a UK studio .. The Normandy heroes who not only held their positions, but advanced through hell to a victory that changed the entire course of history .. undoubtedly hold a different perspective.     from a perspective in TheConversation     .. 'That was the slot that sunaks team offered for the interview
    • Yes, send a message to the purchaser but keep it very friendly and simply that you noticed that the package has now been delivered.  I suggest that you ask them if they want to keep the package still or if they would rather return it and that if they want to keep it then please will they return your payment to you to your PayPal address. Keep it as polite and friendly as possible and then we will decide what to do if he doesn't reply or refuses.  Meanwhile I will have a look at Google earth and see if you are able to spot the gas meter outside the house to get an idea if the delivery is real.

    • Santander have sent their final response and have agreed that they were in the wrong. They will be refunding me the amount I am due and £50 for the delay.  Just the interest factor would be more than double the £50 that they are offering. Thinking to just close this and move on. Is this what you would do?  Opened a FOS case on the 1st of June but haven't heard back yet. 
    • It just been delivered and ive had a live chat with p2g to get some proof of deliverey and they send me a picture of the parcel placed in a gas meter box which they class as a ' 'Safe Place'  and not placed into the hands of the buyer which is either a good thing as the buyer can claim he never received It so i can claim against p2g or a bad thing . Do p2g have coordinators when taking pictures and scanning of parcels ?  I know Royal Mail do ... I'm going to send the buyer a message and see what he says

    • 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, I must be the biggest mug here...

 

I'm on my second Managed Loan with these guys, I was told at the time that this was my only option available (my 2nd loan) as I had a poor credit rating and would be unable to get a loan elsewhere and was forced onto this.

 

My first time was when I had returned to being a student and was again given the old, this is your only option as we cannot extend your overdraft any more excuse, I've had charges on my account, PPI missold (when I was on a temporary working contract) however a small amount of this was refunded when taking the managed loan out (I'm going to do a separate post on that later).

 

But today I've asked them if they can convert this to a normal loan and have been advised that because I have recently been turned down for a credit card that I should not try re-applying for 3 months...

 

I don't know what to do with these guys, but rest assured as soon as everything is sorted out I will be heading off to a different bank.

Hi, skye300801, Andena pointed me in your direction. :)

 

I'm not sure how watertight your Managed Loan agreement is, so I can't really comment on that at the moment. What did strike me was that you were refused Payment Protecton when you asked for it (because you were part-time?)

Were they charging an extra premium for PPI in your loan repayments - if so , you may have a case for mis-selling...........try this link and see if it helps:

Hey, I'm new to all this, but I've got a managed loan, still owe about £8,000 but have now opened another account with the Halifax cos I just couldn't cope with all the bank charges, about £200 a month for years, so have now defaulted on the loan, they've prob closed the account and chasing me for payment of loan etc, but I've moved. Am thinking of re-claiming my bank charges, but what do you think? Is there any point when I still owe them £8,000 and have just walked away from the account? I don;t know how they expect people to be able to pay their loans and live when they charge ridiculous amounts of money? :p

When did the loan start?

Are the charges on a business or personal account?

How much do the charges amount to?

2004, I think, and it's a personal account. Not sure how much charges amount yet. Have literally just started doing something about reclaiming them, i.e joining consumer forum . . .

Hi Madame , welcome to the forum

 

First of all, you should open up your own thread on the HSBC forum - it'll be easier for people to give you personal advice . You'll get plenty of support on here and we're a friendly lot - so just ask - someone will come up with an answer.............

Just to get you going though try this link:

This decision is up to you of course, Madame - when you send for a S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) they'll know where you are . But if you have a substantial amount of charges to reclaim it may be worth doing, just to start clearing your financial situation.........

 

Also ,if the actual amount you owe is in dispute , which it will be if you're reclaiming charges , they can't chase you for repayment anyway.

Have posted a separate thread under HSBC Bank (apols, not good enough with computers to add in a link). Has anyone here thought of using the new provisions of the Consumer Credit Act 2006 which deal with Unfair Relationships? Provisions come into force for pre-existing contracts on 6 April this year so there's a bit of time to get organised. From the reading of this thread I'm thinking that it may be a way out of these agreements...

If you would like to enlarge on how you see this affecting or benefitting claimants, Principessa - lay it out in a bit more detail and ask a moderator to post it forum-wide (maybe on a sticky)....It'll save you posting on all sites............:)

Trust is a strange word, you have to be very careful with everyone these days and make your own judgment of how much trust to give them. my family have recently fallen out with the family solicitor of many years in a matter of probate, we employed them to give us advice and guide us at a time of personal loss... they failed miserably :mad:

 

you can trust the Mafia just never ever fall out with them :D

I have a meeting this week with HSBC regarding my ML.

HSBC would like me to restart an earlier ML because my current ML is not correctly executed....(they have about as much a chance of that happening as me winning the Grand National aboard our lurcher!- and Elvis finishing second on Shergar)

 

So why am I going along? Well I am going to ask them have they included the complete repayment of my ML with compounded interest in the £8.7bn bad loan debt that they have written off.

Share on other sites

HSBC Fiddled - have you already had the non-executed ML judged non-enforceable? I think (again, any moderator who can confirm??) that this new law coming in on 6 April will not allow agreements to be automatically unenforceable...

 

Can anyone tell me if, when I do a SAR letter, I can also get a copy of the original personal loan agreement from 2003 (ie not the managed loan) and copies of my credit card statements that were rolled up into the ML? I can't view the statements on line anymore.

 

Also, another technical one - apols, I am currently out of the UK and my only address for service at the moment would be in Scotland. What does this mean for the choice of court of HSBC? Would it just go to their nearest court to head office? Does this affect me going back 6 years? Will I be limited to the Scots law 5 year limit?

 

Any help appreciated.
