    • the scrappage scheme is nothing to do with the agreement ...sorry. it's an enticement to purchase a replacement vehicle. just the same as shop signs that say 50% off or whatever.  its a done and dusted deal done before you enter into the agreement for the remaining £sum. 
    • don't get too hung up on the real meaning of 'fake' in terms of the documents a claimant might produce relating to a potential court claim. by fake we typically mean, they are not obviously the 'real McCoy' ,100% associated with whatever credit they are trying to pin on punters. they are often of the right 'version' that an OC would have used for that particular take out date, but with details inserted in a diff font where they should be for say your name address DOB etc. All DCA's typically  have filing cabinets covering each year for most creditor, whip 'em out, scan and copy n paste your details onto them, even easier now with online sign ups. no hard copies ever sent cause 90% of mugs have lost them..... one of our most powerful tools is the fact any docs they produce, unless they state they are 'a reconstruction'  MUST come from the original creditor noty some hidden pile the claimants have. Link are absolute masters at this so dont stick to lowell threads. dx    
    • Driving home last night I contacted wing mirrors with a car coming the opposite way. The wing mirror folded in and the glass popped out. Very minor damage.  I stopped at the next layby (A road) to repair the mirror. A passerby stopped and said they saw the other car stopped behind me in another layby - they went back and passed over details so we could get in touch.  The conversation started cordially, but quickly got heated when I said I was well on my side and they drifted over (which is what happened).  I wasn't going to bother filing a claim as there isn't enough damage to justify it. So I've said to the other party lets just call it quits as there are no witnesses and we both think we are innocent.   they said they are contacting the police and insurance and that they have witnesses. But a quick facebook search found a post by the other person saying they were in a crash, and were 'spun' off the road. Picture of a broken wing mirror and a slight scuff on the front and rear wheel arch. they are asking for witnesses. I have screenshots of the post, and sent them another message saying I can see you dont have witnesses as you are appealing for them. I'd really not drag this out. Lets call it quits and move on. this was followed by a couple of messages that didn't really make much sense. e.g. 'do the right thing'. What should I do now?  Contact police?  Contact my insurance? - Can I tell them about this incident but say I dont want to claim? Will that affect my premium?  
    • This is the crux of the argument. The scrappage contribution should have also been counted as a deposit. It was literally a part exchange in return for a cash deduction so there is no reason it wouldn't be treated the same way.  I did not request a VT, I was struggling to pay after a separation from my partner at the time. However had the figures been reflected correctly, the VT cost would have been 2k not 9k and I may have considered it as an option. Instead, the car was marked stolen and removed from my possession by the police
    • LOL - old one the fiver theory - although with the poops its take a fiver now, promise 10p  sometime in the future while claiming the reverse theory   So when is jenrick, an apparent slam dunk as referenced higher in the thread, being referred to the police? These poops need to know that anything they throw will be returned .. with interest

    • 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.

Hello everyone !

I`m new to this but have spent a fair few hrs in the FAQ and reading various case notes.

I`ve banked with the YB for about 15yrs but in the last 5 or 6 i`ve really been stung for charges.

I`ve got the ball rolling by sending £10 of postal orders along with a Subject Access Request letter by recorded post on the 14-7-06. I`m told they should receive it by monday 17th at the latest. Thats when i`ll start counting the 40 days, which at this stage feels like an eternity.

Ps This is an excellent site and thanks for all the info. I`ll keep you posted on my story

My statements arrived after 18 days, so that's encouraging for you. They seem to be getting their act together regarding complying with the DPA stuff, but the later stages are all still a bit of a hard slog it seems. I reckon it looks like they don't really know what to do, so they're delaying as much as possible in order to see if anyone falls by the wayside.

We'll all be calling their bluff then. :D

Hi there folks !

:confused: Hi everyone ! i`ve been in the FAQs again. I just dont understand the interest thats generated from solely my charges. My point is, if you`ve got an over draught then that generates interest every month. So if you`ve been charged then that would be responsible for part of that interest, but not all.How do i work out the sum of that interest. The spreadsheet i used only calculated the 8% which you apply when going to court.

Would much appreciate if someone could enlighten my understanding

Hi all ! The 1st schedule of charges i sent with my prelim letter only contained charges and no interest. This was because i used the simple spreadsheet. After recieved thier initial fob of letter i decided to try the more advance spreadsheet. My charges totalled 1160, the advanced spreadsheet came up with the figure of 613.87 in interest on penalties. Is this a realistic figure:confused: . I don`t want to send my LBA off with a schedule of charges that i`ve made a mess of !

Any help more than welcome

Are you using the right spreadsheet? Use the advanced one and that has a sheet called "Charges and Interest". Fill in the amount of your charges, and then there are more columns for calculating the interest. If you get stuck there is a thread which in the general forum to help you. I think you are quite right to include this as you would not have incurred so much interest without the charges.

You can send them 2 copies when you file the Allocation Questionnaire that the court will send to you for completion.

Hi everyone :)

I got a letter from their legal services today

`Dear Mr Koberoy

I refer you to the above claim that you have raised with the bank. The bank has filed an Acknowledgement of Service.

You have failed to provide details of the account you claim to hold with the Bank(sort code and account number) nor have you provided sufficient details of the charges you should be refunded(date and amount levied)

You are required to provide these necessary details to us by no later than 13th Oct 2006

Should you fail to provide such details we will apply to have your claim struck out pursuant to CPR part3.4(2)© and than you be ordered to pay our costs of the proceedings subject to detailed assessment on basis that you have failed to provide full particulars of claim as required by the Civil Procedures Rules.

You should take independant legal advice or contact your local Citizens Advice Bureau if you are unclear on any of the terms of this letter.`

It came as a bit of a reality check this did. Firstly i`ve posted recorded delivery a full schedule of charges including all interest along with a short covering letter. Their letter was dated the 10th and i receieved it today. They should have the info they requested tomorrow. What i don`t understand is that they have all this information anyway. Or are they purely referring the the particulars of claim, which i couldn`t include my schedule of charges on MCOL.

Don't worry, they are just trying to frighten you. If you have sent it already then that is dealt with. I assume your particulars of claim were the standard ones as suggested on this site, quoting the legislation which applies to your claim. If you have dealt with it already you can safely ignore it, as it seems they have crossed in the post.

Spoke to a lovely lass who informed me they`ll pay my charges + compound interest at 22.9%. Cheque should be with me in 7 to 10 days. RESULT:D

Hi all ! I recieved a Part 36 Offer- Without Prejudice save as to costs. The jokers have offered me £1070, when me claim total £2273.

It goes on to say that no offer is made in respect of interest as that is at the descretion of the court, and in their view the court would not exercise its discretion to award interest in my favor given that the charges were levied as a result of my own actions and failures.

...... and there`s more `This letter is written in an attempt to resolve this case without the need to incur further court time. It is therefore without prejudice to the banks whole rights and pleas and may not be referred to without the Banks written consent. Please note however, that should this offer not be accepted by you, the Bank will refer the Court to this letter when deciding the costs to be awarded in the case.

Are this lot really really trying to tickle me pink. :cool: I`m sure i`ve read a thread where someone got a similar letter. Should i actually reply to this bunch or just sit tight for my day in court.

Ps They also sent me a copy of Their AQ which states they`ve requested a month stat to try and settle. Any ideas anyone. Advice and comments will be much appreciated on this one

Write and reject the offer. You might suggest that you are willing to just pay the amount of their actual costs as a result of the breaches, which will require them to show their calculations for this. You would amend your claim accordingly. I would also write to the court and object to the stay as they have had 3 months to try and settle, and have just come up with a derisory offer. If you haven't already done so also ask the court to consider a request for standard disclosure. They are in no position to second guess the courts views on statutory interest, so don't let them bully you.

 

They are not coming up with anything they haven't done lots of times before, except that the offer is lower than usual.

:D Hi All !

The latest is i recieved an offer on the 13th for 1231 + 220 court costs. My charges totalled 1160 so thier calculation of interest is conservative at the very least. It also goes on to state that`any liability for tax on the interest awarded is included within the sum offered, and you are obliged to account to HMRC direct for any tax due.`

I`m sending my rejection letter off on friday. Court bundles need to be in by the 8th Feb, but mine will be in before because i`ll be in Egypt at that time. It doesn`t really leave much time before court.
