    • Hi Schipoo and thanks for the update. This is a brilliant result as rergards your fight with HMRC. If you can manage a Donation to the site, it would be greatly appreciated. Let us know how it goes as regards the fees being sought by Independant Tax.

    • Worth noting that all of these firms - either the alleged EIS investment, the rebate company themselves or the payee were all registered to the same address.

    • 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 got a letter today saying that my account has been charged again although it's in credit...?!

 

This happened last month too...

 

After my initial £66 cumulative fees, which I incurred through going overdrawn and promptly paid up as soon as I realised, I was randomly charged £22 a week later even though my account was in credit, which put me into debit. I went up the bank the next day to sort it out, and they refunded the charges to my account so it was in credit again... and now it's happened again, with my statement saying 'Fees for the period 20 Feb to 19 Mar, Reserve Usage Fee" so now I'm in debit and have to go up the bank to sort it out again.

 

Do you think they're just trying it on and will this give me any leverage in getting my original £66 back? It's pretty damn inconvenient and it's horrible because there's the sense of urgency that comes as soon as you receive the letter to go straight up the bank before you are charged again. Since it was this evening before I checked my mailbox I can't do anything about it now and I've got to go out tonight with it on my mind!

 

I can't wait to close this account as soon as I know whether anything can be done. Also, after I wrote to them trying to recover the £66 initially, they said no blah blah, but they would keep a complaints file open for me for 8 weeks then it would be closed. Would it still be possible to make a new complaint if Bookie etc. don't get their results before that time? I'm a bit new to this banking lark, have never been in debt before starting as a student and using my overdraft so any help would be amazing.

hi Roo

this could be a completely daft suggestion but can't you just tell them that you don't want the Reserve facility? When I complained about mine I got the same response but they removed the facility and so they didn't have a right to charge the £22 fee whether the account was over it's limit or not. They are also currently not charging interest on the amount that the account is over it's overdraft limit (which I only realised when I checked my statement)

 

I have written first letter to reclaim the bank charges and got a standard response this week (my claim included the £22 charges) so got to move onto next step on that

Im with Barclays, last year i went into my "reserve" without realising it, incurred a £30 charge. Although because this was the first time i'd ever made a mistake they did recind that charge, however i hadn't realised this and the following day it was still in debt so they took the £30 again. And then another £30 the next day. I finally realised the problem and sorted it out simply enough, i then went in to say i dont want an overdraft on my account (as i specifically said i didn't want one when i took the account out 5 years ago) and they told me thats not possible, they'd have to reduce my account to a cashcard account to be able to remove it. Which i found unreasonable. What i find even more unreasonable is they tell me i MUST have a reserve, then they get all up in arms if i use it LOL!

 

I admit its my fault for not keeping a closer eye on my account though, and since that experience ive watched my money like a hawk so i know it'll never happen again. And on the whole i havent got many complaints with Barclays service.

Got reserve fee removed, turns out that the fee I'd been charged was for making a payment while my account was in the reserve fee previously. The same fee that I managed to get removed last time, no avail this time :( Should've removed the reserve fee the first time I visited.
