    • Found a BMA article related to this subject which I think the OP will find helpful. Patients recording consultations WWW.BMA.ORG.UK Our guidance answers if patients can record doctors without permission or covertly, how to respond when a patient asks to record their appointment and what to do if a covert recording is posted online.  
    • Ah - that was another thread that got merged back in 2018   That 'split' doesnt refer to this legal matter  
    • Thanks dx for your kind words. I plan to renew my season ticket and write a new begging letter as following, can I ask for any suggestion about it?   Dear Investigator/Prosecutor,   Thank you for your reply. I deeply regret my actions and the inconvenience they have caused.   I’m extremely remorseful for my crime. and regret it everyday. I often ask myself ‘’how can I do that thing just because I felt it is interesting. There are a lot of crimes in the world, but feeling it’s interesting is certainly not a reason to crime. I should not crime with any reason.’’ I think about these things every day, and I understand that I can’t blame anyone but myself.   I thanks to the staff who stopped me, as this is a valuable lesson in my life. I told myself that I should never ever repeat such a thing again, and never ever do anything which is possible to be in breach of any law. As a result, I carefully tap my oyster card every time before I enter the station now. I remind myself that I did a wrong thing before, and I should never let it happen again.   Although my monthly travel expenses do not warrant a season ticket, but I just renew my season ticket (please see the attachment). I understand that a crime cannot be truly compensated for, but purchasing a season ticket offers me a small measure of comfort, knowing that my actions caused a loss to the public interest.   I received an email which ask me to negotiate being class teacher in this summer (please see the attachment). I hope that I could teach the lovely students again, which may not be allowed with a criminal record. I would please ask that you would please provide me a single opportunity to settle all outstanding sums owed outside of court without the need for legal proceedings which would have a determinantal impact on my teaching career.   I sincerely apologise again for my crime. If you need anything further from me to help you please let me know.    Yours sincerely,
    • You did what??? You asked them to send you the documents that without them you had  a 100% ironclad win in Court. Why on earth would you do that? As it happens in this case, there is still enough mistakes in their PCNs and the NTH to have your case cancelled. Amd it may be that not sending those documents in the first place along with the ICO complaint and the letters from Alliance themselves which would confirm by the dates on the letters may be enough to cancel it anyway. I hope you have kept their letters as evidence? The chances are that Alliance will not actually take you to Court because of their errors but you never know.  You have made so much extra work for yourself in your WS if they decide to push their luck.though. Can you please post up their letter where they give the reason why I wasn't sent with the NTH.

    • 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.

I have been a Halifax customer for most of my life and since I opened a "proper" account with them about 5 years ago (I had one of their accounts with a Solo card, as opposed to Switch) they have given me nothing but grief.

 

My husband and I have got ourselves into a right mess money wise. I got pregnant and was off work for a year and my husband's salary wasn't enough to cover all the bills so we lived on credit. Needless, to say that after a while the credit ran out and we can barely afford the weekly food shop let alone credit card bills.

 

Anyway, the Halifax have been totally unsympathetic and refuse to lend us any more money on top of our mortgage but they are quite happy to keep piling on the charges. I have had a quick look through the last 18 months worth of bank statements (that's all I have) and the total so far is roughly £1700. So the amount over the last 6 years is going to be a lot more.

 

The amount of charges on my credit cards are around £700 for the same period of time.

 

If this works and I get all this money back, I will be so chuffed! I sent all my letters on Monday so fingers crossed!!

Today my statements arrived with same letter that many people seem to be getting.

 

They have sent me a report showing all transactions on my account since it opened only it is ridiculously confusing.

 

I know I have to look out for 94d but it's not just a striaghtforward list of all transaction, there's other stuff too. Does anyone know how it works? I want to make sure I claim every penny!

Just completed the MoneyClaim form, paid my £120 fees and I've just realised I've claimed for £5044.12 - over £5000. Admittedly, it was the court fees that took it over the £5000. What's going to happen now?

Hi Maddyrose was just interested in your welcome finance claim, as i'm having few problems with them...Do you have thread?? Good luck with Halifax

Got this reply from my LBA yesterday morning.

 

Dear Mr and Mrs X

 

Thank you for your letter dated 13th April 2005. I note your comments and am responding in view of my particular responsibility for Bank accounts administered by Newcastle Customer service Centre.

 

I was sorry to learn that you were unhappy with the charges, which have been applied to your account.

 

Like other organisations, HBOS incurs additional costs when an item is returned unpaid, or paid against an unauthorised overdraft. Rather than pass these costs on to unaffected accounts, charges are applied only to the account concerned, so we do not penalise all of our customers. (THIS IS THE BEST BIT) These charges only partially cover the costs we incur and compare favourably to our competitors. (NOW THAT'S BULLS**T IF EVER I HEARD IT)

 

Blah Blah Blah

 

You have asked the Halifax to consider the full waiving of the existing charges. Whilst it may be argued that this might provide a short term solution to the problem, it remains the case that account charges will continue to be applied in the future if there are insufficient funds to cover your outgoings. (NO THEY WON'T BECAUSE I'VE CHANGED BANKS!)

 

I regret that the Halifax is unable to consider the outright waiving of your account charges.

 

Blah Blah Blah.

 

Unbelievable.

 

As it happens they sent the letter the day after the deadline so I have already started court proceedings. Idiots.

I have been charged £147.00 today for 6 £1.00 payments to my credit cards!! I paid by bill payment a few days ago when there was enough money in my account to pay for it.

 

I cannot believe how tight these people are. Roll on court day.

Just checked my bank account and they is a mysterious deposit for £5044.00. The exact amount I'm claiming for!! Haven't had a letter yet confirming so will wait for that before I celebrate. Still going shopping today though!

 

Thank you so much to everyone involved with this site. I couldn't have done this without you. I will make a donation as soon as I get the confirmation letter.

 

1 down, 8 to go!!
