    • I've had a text and email from MCB: "Dear XXXXX Please contact us today. Your payment has not been brought up to date and we would like to discuss your account with you as a matter of urgency. Our telephone number is 02039236888"   " Early investigations confirm you are resident at the above address. Despite this, we have not managed to speak to you about your now, seriously overdue debt.   We are now instructing our external debt collectors to contact you directly in relation to your loan account. If you want to avoid this course of action, contact us today on 0203 923 6888"
    • What type of finance is it?   HP, PCP, Loan? They want her to ring so they can bully her into making payments she can't afford...unless she can record her calls then IMHO, I'd keep everything in writing. Is £400 SSP her only income? There's no chance they will justify taking half of that.   Lodge a formal complaint with them ASAP, exhaust it, and then you can escalate it sooner rather than later, ruddy sharks!  
    • Is all of this actually on the signage? Don't remember seeing that much detail on other threads.
    • If I have learnt one thing from this forum, it's not to call and communicate via email. I passed this info on to her and they are pushing for her to call them.    "Unfortunately, you will need to call us. The conversation won’t be so black and white as to therefore type over email. In a nutshell we can confirm that the request to not pay for 3 months we cannot put in place"  I emailed them back on her behalf and said that what ever is discussed over the phone will need to be put in an email so that she can review it properly. No decisions will be made on that phone call.    "Once we speak to you on the phone we will follow up with an email to confirm the options discussed. [Phone number]"   Why are they pushing for a phone call? If its not so black and white, why can they then follow up with an email?

    • 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.

Hi All,

I'm was hoping for a bit of advice if anyone can help.I recently wrote to Barclaycard asking for a refund of charges incured during the past 6 years which totaled £130.00 (£100 charges and £30.00 interest @ 8%). I've just received a letter back from them explaining that although they have always believed their charges to be fair they would be willing,as a gesture of good will,to credit my account with £40.00 as full and final settlement which they say is the difference between the charges that i incured and the current fee of £12.00.

 

Is this correct??

Should i accept??

 

Also,having read a few threads on PPI would it be worth challenging them over the PPI i paid as i dont recall being given the choice to take it out,in fact i dont remember much about the application at all as i was signed up for the card by a very pretty youg girl when i was at Haydock Races and more than a bit worse for drink and to the best of my knowledge a couple of weeks later the card just turned up.

 

Any help would greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers

Adamsdad :-)

I'm glad to see you made it over here. ;)

 

Here is the rejection letter you need to send. You also need to carry on with your claim. I'm not sure how far you have got so far. But carry on sending your prelim, lba then file at court. You can't get the interest before you file at your county court.

As for your PPI claim here is a link worth reding.

Hi Sea-Sidelady and anyone else taking an interest in this thread,

 

Sorry i have not updated but i've been extremely busy.

You will be pleased to know that after sending Barclaycard a "rejection letter" they decided to make another so called "gesture of goodwill" and credited my account in full :D

I have recently wrote to them requesting a full refund of £253.56 for "payment protection premiums" as i was unemployed when i was signed up for the card.

 

This is actually the second request i've sent but i forgot to send the 1st by recorded delivery so as it was over 2 weeks ago i'm sure they've ignored it hoping i'll go away (NO CHANCE:D) but I did send the 2nd request 1st class recorded and it was delivered on 27th August08 but i've not recieved anything back as yet but i would expect them to take the full 12 days!!!

 

Just as a matter of interest, If they didn't respond what would be my next move???

 

Cheers Adamsdad.

Hi AD,

 

Glad to here you got a full refund of the penalty chgs. :)

 

The PPP's are different to reclaiming penalty charges and you'll just have to keep badgering BC for the refund on the basis that you were mis-sold this product and it was wholly inappropriate for your circumstances at that time.

 

Keep us informed on this.

Hi Slick132,

 

Thanks for the advice and i will keep you informed.

If they dont reply to the original request is their a particular letter i should use to follow it up, I think i recall reading on another thread that the best road to go down with PPI issues is the ombudsman rather than the small claims court especially if you dont have your t&c's.

 

Cheers Adamsdad.

Embarrassed to say I'm not sure on this.

 

As you've settled the charges side of this, why not start a new thread in the PPI forum - you'll get better advice there, I'm sure. :)
