    • I've had a text and email from MCB: "Dear XXXXX Please contact us today. Your payment has not been brought up to date and we would like to discuss your account with you as a matter of urgency. Our telephone number is 02039236888"   " Early investigations confirm you are resident at the above address. Despite this, we have not managed to speak to you about your now, seriously overdue debt.   We are now instructing our external debt collectors to contact you directly in relation to your loan account. If you want to avoid this course of action, contact us today on 0203 923 6888"
    • What type of finance is it?   HP, PCP, Loan? They want her to ring so they can bully her into making payments she can't afford...unless she can record her calls then IMHO, I'd keep everything in writing. Is £400 SSP her only income? There's no chance they will justify taking half of that.   Lodge a formal complaint with them ASAP, exhaust it, and then you can escalate it sooner rather than later, ruddy sharks!  
    • Is all of this actually on the signage? Don't remember seeing that much detail on other threads.
    • If I have learnt one thing from this forum, it's not to call and communicate via email. I passed this info on to her and they are pushing for her to call them.    "Unfortunately, you will need to call us. The conversation won’t be so black and white as to therefore type over email. In a nutshell we can confirm that the request to not pay for 3 months we cannot put in place"  I emailed them back on her behalf and said that what ever is discussed over the phone will need to be put in an email so that she can review it properly. No decisions will be made on that phone call.    "Once we speak to you on the phone we will follow up with an email to confirm the options discussed. [Phone number]"   Why are they pushing for a phone call? If its not so black and white, why can they then follow up with an email?

    • 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 just one question i'm unsure of, can I claim back the bank charges of £30.00 for each check I write out even if I haven't the funds in the bank at the time I write them out, I get my wages paid in monthly so they always get there money back.

Sometimes it can be as much as £90.00 a month if I write 3 cheques, and can happen just before I get paid, this has happened for at least the last 6 years and before, thank you very much for your help in letting me know if I have a leg to stand on I will keep you all updated if I feel I can claim those charges they are rather a lot.

I have usually written cheques just before I get paid.

I know I have no money in at the time I write the cheques, but I also know that a few weeks or sometimes days berore I get paid that it will be in the bank so they can recuperate it.

I got in the sticky situation where I will write cheques for £60 0r even £20 just before I get paid I cant get back on track because maybe they took out £90 pounds in cheque charges the previous month or more, depending on how many cheques I wrote previous.

Iv'e been with the Abbey about 23 years and a couple of years ago gave me a overdraft of £300 pounds which I use.

Anyway thanks for getting back in touch with me Karnevil your advice is very useful do you still think I could claim back my charges after I have explained it a bit more.

Phew! you had me then, so I will have to write a letter to get my bank statements of 6 years ago so I will have to look at the templates it is suggested I pay the £10.00 off and use the data protection act.

 

I guess I will have to kick this ball off somehow, could you direct me to the post that explains the first letter I should be sending them, I thank you for your patience and helpfulness and I expect to be having to put in a lot of hard work myself but hard work I will do, to get what I feel they owe me.

Thank you in advance.

  • 8 months later...

Just to update you all, I finally took the plunge and sent my first letter off too claim back my bank charges on the 5th march, it has now been 40 days.

I phoned the customer complaints to inform them that I had only recieved a years statement so far from the Abbey, they informed me that they will send an email off to remind Abbey, they also stated they have had an influx of customers requesting their bank statements and this might be the delay, and too give it a few more days, I also informed them I will have to report it to the Information Commissioner for a breach, regardless.
