    • Interesting question regarding what Government accounts opposition parties have access to, before an General Election. From what I understand, Government department accounts that are published are always lagging behind and would not include some amounts which are classified as 'commercially sensitive'.  Therefore opposition parties and Parliamentrary select committees would not have access to accounts which contain real time up to date information. If a new Government have found £20 billion of spending liabilities they did not know about, this could be true, as £20 billion is not that much when you look at total Government expenditure. Government department are making decisions on spending all of the time and it could be the previous Government were planning tax changes and/or spending cuts to balance the books.  Jeremy Hunt has recently said that if the Tories had stayed in Government and held an Autumn budget, it would have been very difficult to cut taxes as some had wanted.
    • Everyone knows the tories were hiding the costs - and even added 4 billion quid to the taxpayers high interest credit card to fund a chunk of the NI tax reduction - prime example - look at how much cost was hidden re the Rwanda dogwhistle -10 Billion quid     and re the handful of rebels on the benefit limit If the disasters (like the Rwanda rubbish) of Tory dogs being wagged by the extremist minority ERG tail doesn't highlight the issues ..

    • ok your WS is wrong. Paragraph 16 and 17 says  you did not contract with evri but this is not true - see below  Furthermore to the eBay Powered By Packlink T&Cs that Evri is referring to, Clauses 3b and c of the T&Cs states:  (b)   Packlink is a package dispatch search engine that acts as an intermediary between its Users and Transport Agencies. Through the Website, Users can check the prices that different Transport Agencies offer for shipments and contract with the Transport Agency that best suits their needs on-line. (c)  Each User shall then enter into its own contract with the chosen Transport Agency. Packlink does not have any control over, and disclaims all liability that may arise in contracts between a User and a Transport Agency post 251 of occy thread - £844 lost    you should also add a paragraph on donough v Stevenson talking about the fact that even without contract there is still duty of care to goods and by failing to deliver this duty has been breached.   Make those changes and post it back up here and I'll check over things again
    • no we cant add the occy thing because leicster are being difficult people so we're just going to go without it for now

    • 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.

This is for my wife.....

 

She has a overdraft with HSBC and recently got a letter saying they were reviveing her overdraft etc etc and for doing this they are charging her £25. As she is on maternity leave she has recently gone over her o/d by £10 and is now getting the usual charges..... when speaking with themon the phone she asked if she could increase her overdraft by £20 and they refused, when she asked why she had to pay £25 for them reviewing her overdraft they basically just said could.

 

Any advice much appreciated.

sadly, at present whilst the court case is still on going, banks can still charge what they like for what they like.

 

i'd be inclined to get a claim in for all her charges + interest

might even be able to claim hardship?

 

so that when the appeal fails, you are already inline for the refund.

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

how much was you over your O/D?

 

if it was £10 or under you will not get charged

 

if it over £10 you will get charged

 

but, if its you first offence in six months you will not get charged

 

the below is a quote from the mirror web site

 

"hsbc has also won praise for its Fair Fees overdraft policy. Unlike other banks it does not charge for every transaction while overdrawn. It gives a £10 'buffer' zone and will not charge more than the amount you go overdrawn, more than once in a single day, or if it is your first offence in six months"

 

hope this helps

Hiya Ad33 and welcome to the HSBC forum :)

 

This is for my wife.....

She has a overdraft with HSBC and recently got a letter saying they were reviewing her overdraft etc etc and for doing this they are charging her £25.

 

They are allowed to do this once a year, its a nice source of income for them £25 x how many million customers? and this is an allowable fee (you cant claim it back) but any other unrequested reviews are just charges and you can claim them back :)

 

As she is on maternity leave she has recently gone over her o/d by £10 and is now getting the usual charges..... when speaking with them on the phone she asked if she could increase her overdraft by £20 and they refused, when she asked why she had to pay £25 for them reviewing her overdraft they basically just said could.

 

Any advice much appreciated.

 

Your branch manager has the power to reverse any charges and some people have had success by visiting him face to face and explaining the situation. But this is a personal decision by your own branch manager and is definitely a once only approach :cool:.

If you get no joy from this approach start a claim :)
