    • Page 33 general conditions  "Your duties You must contact us as soon as reasonably possible and provide all the information,  documents, evidence and help we need to settle your claim or pursue a recovery." Some policy wordings are more specific than others. But even in this policy example, this Insurer may decide not to offer renewal, if they are not informed of a potential claim, if they find out from third party first. It is your risk to take. Do nothing and you may never hear anything further or the third party armed with your registration number makes a claim and your Insurers are contacted. Then your Insurers see you as someone who is careless.  
    • Good evening, The court date for this is 3rd June and I've decided I will defend in court. Following some very interesting happenings in my other claim at court the other day (thread will be updated after this one) I am certain I want to defend this not because I'm confident of it's success, but rather I want to experience the day and press on my belief (I know it's only a belief) that a copy of DN and NOA's themselves, is not proof of serving, which MUST have taken place. Much better evidence of serving, would just be proof of postage or signature of recipient with the correct date, even without the letter copies themselves. Their evidence in exhibits is not strict proof. Law of Property Act 196(4) "Any notice required or authorised by this Act to be served shall also be sufficiently served, if it is sent by post in a registered letter........." Isn't a 'registered letter' proof of postage/receipt (signature)? It might not have mileage, but its my first claim and I will be levelled up for experiencing it and trying. Meaning I can make more informed decisions on the numerous others pending within months. including claim #2 Thank you for helping me get this far, I've learned so much already and already making better decisions on accounts I don't have a thread for. I welcome discussion, thanks  
    • thats a good point. I've attached the policy but can't see anything about reporting accidents being mandatory. Unless I'm missing something?  this is only the policy document.

    • Hi,  I had a look through the credit agreement again, despite the signature looking legit I've noticed the below and wondered if they'd work as part of my defence, a)    The document headed ‘Your Personal Details’ has an office stamp which is unreadable. b)    On the above mentioned document under section ‘What to do next’ it states turn to agreement form on page 3 however 2 pages are provided. c)    The above mentioned document is unsigned & dated on behalf of Halifax PLC. d)    Two sets of documents headed ‘Credit Card Agreement Regulated By The Consumer Credit Act 1974’ was received containing dissimilar information. Under Parties to this agreement, both papers contain different name / address of the banking institute as well as Defendants address. This document is not on letter headed paper, the layouts are different, paragraph numbers differ as does the document content. Thanks again for any help.

    • 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.

Hey peeps,

 

I'm a bit confused:confused:

 

I keep reading that most banks pay up before court and cases very rarely get that far. I sent of my request for re-payment of charges (on behalf of my husband)and the dealine was today so I have sent an LBA via recorded delivery. What are the chances of them actually paying up before that expires? I have requested £1186.50. I get the feeling they are going to let me take action!

 

They keep ringing up and I keep telling them that my husband does not discuss personal details over the phone so they should put any comments/queries in writing. They say OK and then hang up but so far he hasn't had a letter. I'm not even 100% sure if they are ringing about this but it most probably is. If they do get him on the phone he will crumble! He's not good at this sort of thing hence me doing everything for him. All he does is read my letters and then sign them.

 

I was so excited about getting this money back for him with the help of this brill website but something tells me I'm going to be disappointed. Am I being paranoid????

 

PLEASE, PLEASE give me some reassurance that there is a good chance I will get it without the need for court.

 

Thanks x

Hi 007

 

I, like you, am slightly worried.

I sent an LBA and got a copy of a previous letter they'd sent me! Have filled in my MCOL but have had no other communication from them. I also keep reading that they don't get as far as court but they seem to be pushing it quite far!

100%

I get the feeling they are going to let me take action! It's a feeling, have a drink it'll soon go away

 

They keep ringing up and I keep telling them that my husband does not discuss personal details over the phone so they should put any comments/queries in writing. Absolutely the right thing to do

 

I was so excited about getting this money back for him with the help of this brill website but something tells me I'm going to be disappointed. Am I being paranoid???? Yes, yes, yes.

 

PLEASE, PLEASE give me some reassurance that there is a good chance I will get it without the need for court. No, not a good chance, 100% cert

 

 

Is this enough assurance?

Hi Lisa

 

How are you getting on with this?

I've not sent my MCOL yet because I read that we could get help paying the court costs so I'm just on with that now,extra forms to fill in but hey, if (sorry WHEN) I get my charges back filling in extra forms won't matter!

I've heard absolutley nothing from them since the last letter.

Other people seem to be getting offers so I'm a little worried, it's only for £1000!

 

Keep me posted

Regards

Sarah

Hi All

Just to let you know HSBC ignored me throughout the entire process, I filed my action in court and they still did not bother to reply .... They are now out of time and the courts have today issued a judgment against them in defult for the full amount of my claim £4620.00

Hi Sarah,

They signed for my letter before action on the 17th July and they have until the 28th to pay up before I file a claim with the court.

 

It seems that there are some people who don't get responses and some that do. I am wondering if it depends on where the letters are sent to? Maybe we have just sent ours to a department that doesn't really take any notice? I sent the original letter (data request) to the branch and hand delivered it. I received a reply from:

 

Coventry DSC

Harry weston Road

Binley

West Midlands

CV3 2TQ

 

I then used that address to send my request for repayment of charges and LBA but I have not yet heard anything

 

Maybe I should have just hand delivered it to my branch again!

 

What address did you send your letters to?

Hi Lisa

I've been sending all my correspondence to Coventry DSC because our joint account, which we are claiming was held there. But, the letters we have received have come from:

HSBC Bank Plc

Service Quality Team

Arlington Business Centre

Millshaw Park Lane

Leeds

LS11 0PP

Signed by Mr Colin Langdale...funny how his signature is different each time!!

I haven't hand delivered anything or sent it recorded or signed for. The banks don't send my mail by recorded delivery and still presume I have it so I presume the same for them!

Just reading Dydie's post, do you still get your money if the court issues CCJ against them? Surely they have to pay up??

Hi Sarah

If the court issues a default judgment against the defendant then you have won and will be issued with a warrant which you can execute if they fail to pay within a time limit (you stipulate the time limit) I have stipulated that HSBC must pay me the full amount immediately. whether they do or not remains to be seen

Well done Dydie!

 

Does this mean you can send the bailiffs in if they fail to pay? I would love to witness that!

 

Can you think of any reason why they reply and pay out to some people and totally ignore others?

 

Cheers

I hope that's what my default judgment means but I am

still waiting to hear from someone on here to answer my own

post and let me know for sure :D

 

I can't think why some get responses whilst others don't,

maybe it does just depend on who opens your letter!

I have always sent my correspondence to my own local branch

I feel that it should be them who deal with my complaints as

it is them who are directly connected with me and my account.

In some ways this seems to have paid off for me as they have

obviously not fowarded the court letters etc to the correct person

leaving them out of time to argue against my case! :p

 

Good luck with your claim

I've just gone through the FAQ's and Bankfodder has given this info http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/faqs-please-read-these/243-step-step-instructions.html

 

Did you apply for your judgement straight away so that they cannot sneakily get a defence in, therefore gaining the right to proceed to court should they wish? He also mentions that you can call in the bailiffs via the moneyclaim website or local court.

 

Hope this helps

 

Best of luck!

Thanks Lisa

That was a great help...

 

Well I geuss it's job done then and I can take the advice given

and pat myself on the back and go down the pub !!

 

I did double check with the courts this morning and HSBC

ran out of time on the 15th July and as of today when the

judgment was verified by the courts they had still made no attempt

to put in a defence!

 

They have today sent me a letter saying my overdraft facilities

have been cancelled and asked me how I intended to pay the balance

ummmm .... you can geuss what my reply was
