    • and it will be also now written off under age related criteria anyway.
    • @dx100ukThanks for this! I'm still not clear if I'm facing more than 6 points on my license though. Can you explain any further please? When I accept the 2nd speeding ticket, will they just charge me £100 and 3 points, or will they be more severe consequences since that offense took place the following day of the 1st offense? Similarly, when I accept the 3rd offense, will they look at my record or just charge me with the £100 fine and 3 points? @Man in the middleI've been searching the forum and you seem very knowledgeable. Would you mind giving a look at my query please? Thanks in advance!!
    • Yes of course. That's why it says cc:: BIg Motoring World at the bottom. Don't imagine that this solves the issue. It doesn't. He not have to force the finance company and big motoring world to accept the rejection to give your money back. I suggest that you get the letter off tomorrow. And let us know what you hear but on Friday you should then send a threat to the finance company.   Have a look what I have said here about your options and read the whole thread as well.  
    • Been perusing the actual figures on the polls above wondering where the '16% claimed for deform comes from? I understand that there are 'weighted' end results based on secret calculations ...   Probably going to repeat this later, but remember that the ukip/brexit/reform/deform party has ALWAYS had poll speculation FAR better than their actual  performance at elections - by large margins. SO: The labor and Tory votes come largely from simply the people who say they will vote for them - sorted Lab 43% Tory 20%, with maybe another small 1-2% coming from the weightings of the 'not sures' Greens largely get what is declared from 'other' , although with another declared green bit from the 'pressed' question   So as the share of the voting displayed in 'other' granted to reform/deform is around 11%, where does the '16% too often being reported come from? Seems that reform has been granted as beneficiary of effectively ALL the don't knows and wont says, who when pressed didn't actually declare for someone else ... effectively adding 40%+ to their reported polling % - rather strange given their consistent under-performance compared to polling - or perhaps that is the cause of the higher rating eh?   Now I admit the possibility (probability?) of wingers being ashamed of declaring their support for the yuckey lemon end of the spectrum ... but surely  that should affect the 'Torys as well? Maybe the statisticians have simply weighted in that deform wingers are simply more likely to lie?   But - without 'weightings' and assumptions that faragits will get everything that isnt declared as a definite and unequivocal 'not that Piers Morgan' - reform is on around 11% it seems.   Add to that the history of polling a lot less than the hype - and the simple fact that faragit wingers seem to be spread across the country (presumably skulking in their moms spare room despite being 45+) and greens and lib dems seem to be community minded - I think two seats will be an epic result for farage. Hardly the opposition - far more raving wingnut party.   and importantly - Has farage got a home in clacton yet?

    • 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.

Have you made a DPA SAR? This will give you details of all the charges and manual interventions on your account and will come in useful later.

 

Also be careful to follow the tried and tested procedure to avoid delays to you receiving your money.

Hi Sazafraz.

 

While you are waiting for your statements, have a good read up of the FAQs and the library sections.

They are an absolute mine of information, and will answer most of your questions.

 

Good luck with your claim.:-)

Thanks to all for the welcome. It's so good to see people taking a stand for what is rightfully theirs.

Anyway, I received a letter back from Barclays (re. my request for list of charges etc.) which said:

We refer to your letter... bank is under no obligation to present info according to any particular format. ... bank is providing copy statements on a complimentary basis hence your payment is returned.... then it goes on about manual intervention...... data protection act does not oblige the bank to comment about internal policies and procedures....

signed by Peter Townsend, Manager, Barclays Data Protection.

 

So I shall wait for my statements to arrive and take it from there. I have been usuing the templates from the library which I find really helpful, and am reading up a little each night to help me understand all the jargon.

Will let you all know how I get on.....

Oh before I forget, when you give banks a time limit eg 7 days, does that mean 7 working days or normal days?

The standard time limits on the template letters are all 14 days. I would say that is 2 weeks rather than 14 working days. A bank is a large enough organisation that should be able to consider their position and reply within the time limit.

 

This is YOUR case and YOU set the timetable here, don't let the banks fob you off with a standard reply saying they will respond within 1 month/6 weeks/8 weeks or whatever time they tell you.

 

If you are firm with them then they will know you mean business

  • 2 weeks later...

Just wanted to know:

My boyfriend had a barclayloan a few years ago, barclays messed up with payments, so loan account went into arrears. As a result of this, he had to get a resolve loan. The loan has since been paid/cleared, but if he wants to get staments from it, does he have to write 2 seperate SAR letters ( 1 to original loan account, + 1 to resolve loan account), or will 1 SAR letter for both accounts be ok?

Any advice would be appreciated,

Thanks.

You can reclaim all charges. Whether they put you over the overdaft limit or not.

In the S.A.R. letter, it says please supply list of transactions and charges relating to my banking history with your organisation. It doesn't say send charges for the last 6 years, does this matter or will the bank know to send 6 years worth?

Right, day 30 and still no statements. Rang customer services today 08457 555555, and spoke to a lady who agreed they have to provide info within 40 days, and told me to ring back if I haven't received them by day 40.

Have I done the right thing by phoning them? or should I send a reminder in writing?

Decided to give Peter Townsend a ring today, and he told me they will speed up my request for statements and send them tomorrow for me. Should receive Monday at the latest apparently. aaahhhh isn't that nice of him ! He obviously cares about us afterall !

Ok, ringing Townsend seems to have done the trick. I have now received 6 years worth of statements. I have had a look through and found lots of paid referrals, and some unauthorised overdraft fees. What I want to know is : where it says "interest charged", can I claim this back as well, or not. I have looked for the answer to this, but can't find it, so if anyone can help me out I'd be very grateful. I can then get on and send my prelim letter.

My reply to this is based on the assumption you have an overdraft and pay interest every month . . . .

The thinking is that the interest you paid would have been less if you hadnt any charges. ie if overdraft is £500 and yet that month you have had you have £100 worth of charges, then part of the interest you were charged on the £500 is recoverable, as really your overdraft should only be £400 without the unlawful charges.

So to help you work this out there is a really good, spreadsheet in the library, which will work it all out for you as long as you fill in the correct information.

hope ive explained myself ok

Quick response to my prelim letter from Barclays. A standard letter with a complaints leaflet from Mike Brophy informing me that he will contact me again by 13th september. Since the 14 day time limit will be up on 31st august, I think Mr. Brophy better invest in a pair of trainers, cos if I don't hear by then he'll be receiving my LBA !
