    • Just a typo change that I'd make for the last line. Maybe also add something that says "I assume you will be fully aware that you cannot rely on a clause of a contract that you do not produce."
    • Hello, Firstly, and most importantly I am sorry for your loss. I would go back to the bank with the death certificate and ask them to step in. Remind them firmly but politely that there is no limit for DD claims   Please let us know how you get on.
    • My wife is the named person to his bank account with him having Dementia being his daughter (I say named person she still is but he recently passed away and the deputyship application has now being stopped by the solicitor as it's no longer needed) We've only just got the Death Certificate so the bank will be the next step informing them. She went to the bank and explained the situation but even being his named person the bank said she didn't have the power to stop DD without any legal documents (virgin money) was the bank. She could have copies of bank statements that was about it.
    • I see you said you tried to stop the DD but it seems that didn't work. May I please ask why that didn't work? You should be asking your bank to cancel the DD and I don't see why they would have objected, hopefully you can clarify this. I agree that you should be making a claim here against your bank and ask them for a DD refund. There is no timeframes for this.
    • Thanks DX,   I wasn't aware we could do that for that length of time. I'll ask my wife to check with the bank this week

    • 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.

At the moment we are being screwed by abbey with regards to charges. Does anyone know if they can touch my wifes account if we were to transfer our wages etc direct into that account, thereby stopping them ( edit ) taking your money every month? The account is a current account with abbey, the one we used to use before the bank (edit ) for our savings.

Cheers guys think site is brill and when funds allow will be pursuing abbey with ruthless energy!!!

Hi and Welcome,

I would strongly recommend opening a parachute account elsewhere .Will you be claiming charges back for your wifes account ? are both accounts in seperate names so completly seperate from one another ?

Whilst we understand your annoyance we have to be carefull what content we allow on the forum so anything that may appear to be libelous has to be removed , so I have had to edit your original post.

thanxs for that my wifes account is in her name and totally seperate from our joint account. Just thought that it may be easier to use this account as I suspect that I may have problems opening another current account with my current credit problems.

P.S. I will happily donate to the site as soon as things start to improve.

p.p.s. Will try not to be libellous isnt easy is it!?

My understanding is that you have agreed that if you 'owe' money on one account they can take it from another account you hold with them.Seen as your wifes names is on both accounts then they will stll take money from her other account .I would therefore say to look at your options on opening anoter account .

With a poor credit historyb you may be able to open a basic account. Try Natwest (step) or Co-op or Alliance and Leicester.

Have you applied for a Natwest Step account online?

 

As long as you're on the electoral role you shouldn't have any problems opening a basic account such as this unless you a discharged (or undischarged) bankrupt etc - people with poor credit history have successfully opened these accounts.
