    • So you have your refund? If you have your refund what's the problem?? What money have you wasted in getting a refund/ how have you wasted money in getting a refund? You can't sue them because they took too long to refund. The emails I gave you earlier were because I thought you didn't get a refund yet. If you already have it im not sure what your expecting?
    • Octopus are very approachable so I would suggest you contact them, advise them paying the amount in one go is going to cause you hardship and ask if it could be paid off at an agreed rate of an additional £xx to the next few months bills. I'd be surprised if they didn't agree.
    • Dear Forum Can someone read the letter I received from Barclaycard and comment, I made an offer for full and final settlement of a Barclaycard debt and received this letter as terms of the agreement and acceptance of my offer. I have paid the money. My credit file is still not updated to show the settlement and when I enquired on the phone, they confirmed the account was closed and I would not have to pay the outstanding balance, I pointed out that the payment I made was for the final settlement of the outstanding balance, and that they agree to clear the rest of the debt and why were they still referring to a balance, the person went off and spoke to a manager and said what they mean by clear the debt is to clear my liability to pay the balance, that is not how I understand clearing a debt to mean, I did not argue further as I thought to wait to see how the settlement is described in my credit file when it is updated as sometimes the person you talk to on the phone does not know what is going on.   They are saying there is nothing to pay and the account is closed, but I worry are they up to something?   Barclaycard.pdf
    • bobandi,  Has your Ex made a domestic abuse/violence allegation about you to police, specifically that she is a victim of financial coercive control by you? Are you currently awaiting a CPS charging decision, presumably under the Domestic Abuse Act? You said earlier that you are expecting a decision on whether to charge you this week or next.  If this is your position I assume you are on police bail. If so is it a bail condition that you do not contact your Ex? So can't ask her what her debts are?

    • 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.

Thank you for your letter requesting specific information on your account with us.I can confirm the copies of duplicate statements have been ordered and will be sent under seperate cover.

 

With regard to your request for information relating to manual intervention o your account ,HBOS plc is under no statutory obligation to record this information and therfore,I am unable to assist further with your request.

yours faithfully

Hi

Here is my 1st letter back from the Abbey.:

 

Thank you for your letter dated 8th july 2006, Requesting information on your bank account. I also acknowledge receipt of you 10.00 fee.

 

I also would like to advise you that under a data protection act request, You will only receive transactions that are currently held on our systems. These will be forwarded to you within 40 days, Free of charge, Under seperate cover.Any earlier transactions have been archived on to microfiche, Which is not covered by the data protection act. These archive transactions will not therefore be supplied to you under a data protection act request and will not be subject to the 40 day ruling.

 

Abbey is not normally required to hold past transaction details on accounts for more than six years, We're therefore unable to give you all the details you've asked for.

 

We can however supply details of the transactions held on the microfiche on payment of an administration fee of 10.00 for multiply monthly statements per account that have been archived.

 

It is clear from your request that you require the transactional information that is held on the microfiche records. In order to avoid any additional delays, we will therefore use the 10.00 that you have sent with your data protection act request, as payment for the microfiche records that you need. If you do not want us to do this, please call us on the above number.

 

You have also asked for details of any 'manual interventions' that may have been made on your account and I am sorry that we are unable to help with this request.

 

I can explain we consider 'manual interventions' to mean an action that is not automatic or computer driven. Not all manual interventions are recorded, for example if a member of staff looks at a paper document relating to your account, a record is not always required. Similarly some interventions may relate to work carried out by a department rather than individuals where no central record of activity is kept because this is not the kind of information we need,or more importantly, that a customer would request.

 

If you have any questions please call us on the above number.

If this is the case how do they calculate their costs then, as abbey consistantly say the penalty charges are a direct reflection of the cost incurred.

 

I had the same response you have had still waiting for the information requested, but able to go ahead with my claim for charges. I suggest going with an estimated claim, this may prompt them to send the info you requested in your DPA request.

 

Regards bish.

You are on the road to getting your money back. Plenty of help here so don't worry. Stick to the time table set by you and should have no problems. I have just issued my claim for £8439.53 (£250 court costs incl.) on 30/08/06, received paperwork from court next day, shame the banks were not so efficient concidering the huge profits they make. Also read on this site that Abbey credit card and capital one have reduced their charges to £12, so as good as admitting their charges unlawful, well good enough for me. Best wishes.

Dear *****

 

As you know,we are currently investigating your complaint that you raised with abbey four weeks ago .I am sorry for the delay you are experiencing and i would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued patience.

 

Our research is taking longer than expected because we want to make sure a full investigation is done.

I am sorry that it is taking longer than originally thought and would like to reassure you that your complaint is very important to us.

marc winder
