    • Paragraph 18 – you are still talking about Boston stolen items. About time this was fixed??? Paragraph 19  In any event, the claimant's PS5 gaming device was correctly declared and correctly valued. The defendant accepted it for carriage and was even prepared to earn extra money by selling sell insurance in case of its loss or damage. New paragraph 20 – this the defendant routinely sells insurance in respect of "no compensation" items (a secondary contract contrary to section 72 CRA 2015) new paragraph above paragraph 20 – the defendant purports to limit its liability in respect of lost or damaged items. This is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights act 2015. The defendant offers to extend their liability if their customer purchases an insurance cover for an extra sum of money. This insurance is a secondary contract calculated to exclude or limit their liability for the defendants contractual breaches and is contrary to section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015. New paragraph below paragraph 42 – the defendant merely relies on "standard industry practice" You haven't pointed to the place in your bundle of the Telegraph newspaper extract. You have to jiggle the paragraphs around. Even though I have suggested new paragraph numbers, the order I have suggested is on your existing version 5. You will have to work it out for your next version. Good luck!   Let's see version 6 Separately, would you be kind enough to send me an unredacted to me at our admin email address.

Pay off in full, etc, to generate good history. It's paid off. At quite young ages, they have both obtained loans for cars, mortgage and their credit card limits are through the roof. Personally, I have shifted debt around a lot on credit cards (even financed a house purchase once at 0% 😉) and I've only ever been refused a credit card once, sorry twice by the same company, over many years. They must have something very different in their lending criteria. You're a tight one, Mr Branson.

    • 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 the start of an attempt to recover charges from Natwest dating back to pre 1995. It's a relative's account not mine but they have kept all statements and papers, letters etc.

 

I wish to reclaim all charges for unpaid dds plus interest. At the time the account was running they were being charged 15% plus 5% over base rate.

 

I also need business T&Cs from 1991 onwards. Does anyone know how to get copies?

 

As they have only now realised they can claim these charges I said I would help out. It's a tricky one but the bank involved was odious and deliberately put them under with their punitive charges.

 

Any help anyone can give would be much appreciated. As it's pre 1995 I am not sure which legislation would cover. Would it be penalties and common law? It can't be UTCCR as that was 1999. It could be Unfair Relationships.

 

My first move is to add up charges and work out which way to jump re CI or s69 I know we can claim interest paid out on the part paid on the charges.

Over to CAG.

So this was a sole trader type of account rather than a Ltd Company then Rhia?

 

£20,000 was borrowed for and under the style of the business, but supported by a charge over the property they owned - I take that to mean their home.

 

The business one would argue was a separate entity to the personal side of life and this is where it becomes a little complicated by comparison to Ltd Co Directors guarantees I believe in that if one obtains a personal loan (which is effectively what you have here) to finance the overdraft of the business it can be argued that if the business failed the proprietor has an interest as a creditor as would other creditors if the business folded.

 

Therefore, if there were bucket loads of charges which could be reclaimed the proprietor could receive the reclaimed monies to repay his/her loan to the company...I think...!

 

I've had this with liquidated Ltd company charges of my own where I'd borrowed heavily to support the business in times of need as we business people are want to do, the banks being only too keen to get the Directors house as security over the business. We were liquidated and that came as a result of many things not least of which were a whacking amount of charges which put considerable strains on the business. I've not got all my statements anymore as they went to the liquidator and it could be argued that with creditors like the In.Revenue and Customs & Excise at the time any reclaimed charges may need to be dispersed amongst creditors, but the company is effectively dead, so that creates problems in itself and all my hard work could just be refunded to Gordon Brown and the Treasury.

 

I think you could pursue this, but there will be hurdles.

 

If anyone can find a way - The Cabot Fan Club can :D

It's an odd one Andrew1 as the person was self employed and just chucked in the business when the bank hit them with so many charges they couldn't carry on but they never became bankrupt or anything. They just kept paying the loan back at a reduced rate.

 

They also raised extra money on their mortgage to pay into the company and were paying that back too.

 

I think this is just a straight common law approach as it's so long ago but need to think it through properly before striking.

One thing to keep in mind Rhia, when charges are refunded to a business there may be tax issues on the 'profits' of the business. The refund would be paid to the 'company', (although thinking about this maybe as a loan had been taken by the business owner to support the business effectively the business has had a loan from the business owner and therefore can pay it back)...but just be aware of the tax implications when totting up any benefits which could take your loss making business into profit and attracting taxation. Just a thought.;)

  • 4 weeks later...

Hi Andrew - there won't be any tax issues as he ceased trading and not nakrupt or anything.

I have now added up all the penalty charges (have every statement from 1988 - 1992) and it exceeds £2,500.

Now this is before I add CI. I am aware few have been successful with the CI but am prepared to give it a go as can see that they were hammering 3/4 charges a week for a whole year and beyond which lead to the problem.

A Prelim is on its way and I will give them a good month to come back to me with a response so watch this space.

I would be very wary of CI unless your 100% sure of what you are doing it ca get complicated . Nat West will say Limitation Act ie out of time but you can use S32 provisos they may also get it stayed even though its business claim because of OFT case youll have to argue against that regards Gary

Initially there was complications with CI.

But it should always give section 69 in the alternative.

The new thoughts on restitution give greater considerations for claiming more than 8%

If you are going for unfair relationships then you will need to look at pre action protocols-this could be seen as more of a damages claim.

Hi guys

 

Rhia sorry to hijack your thread, but I am in a very similar situation as your friend. Trying to obtain statements for a liquidated Ltd company. Complaint with IC as debt is now personal due to guarantee being given, therefore SAR should apply.

 

Just received a demand from Lloyds for full amount (complaints been ongoing since Nov 2007) they have added £7000 to the debt, no explanation no statements so how the hell do I know the figure is correct?

 

I have written to them today stating that and that their best option would be to take me to court, so at least the charges would stop.

 

Sorry once again, just getting a bit desparate for some much needed advice.

 

Thanks

 

S.B.

This one is very lucky as he kept absolutely every letter, statement, document etc and all stored away in a box in the loft. They also can't claim SB as when he moved house two years ago they still demanded payment as the whole thing was secured. He paid back a large amount after much arguing but waay more than I think he should but had to agree as they wouldn't release the charge so he could move.

Martin I think you are correct in that it is more damages. This bank clearly wanted him out of business. He had just 3 penalties in 88/89 but in one year I have counted nearly 100 - must be a record. there are such random charges as £40 for a bounced cheque...15 years ago! They seem to have been making it up as they went along.

There is a lot more to it than this but having to keep it simple. I am, quite clear that CI is the way to go but do you mean doing a S69 for the court papers or just offering that in the letter to the bank. I have put letter on hold for a day or so.

Shelbel you need to start a thread I think so you can give more details as unable to comment with what you have posted.

Rhia of course you would need to mention in your pre court action that you are wanting to claim compound .

Whether they will look at it is another matter-CI as s69 is at the discretion of the Court therefore they will argue that out of Court they are not obliged to pay it.

 

The Sale of Goods and services covers undue enrichment.

Theres also other arguements that can be supported with case law that have not been widely used in reclaims,since these cases are usually well outside SCT.

Its a collective submission of charges themselves under common law,and also the other issues.

The banks in many cases are still trying to halt business claims by using Smiths Judgement-the years we are talking in your case should be easy to show should not be considered with the equasion of Smiths Judgements under Common law-yours are very historic.

The only immediate problems I see is that you will need to try to get hold of the terms and conditions for those periods to try to argue the case for exception.

I dont think NW will be quick to supply them.

I will see what I can dig up as regards post 91 terms and conditions.

Natwest werent as quick to pull these from the net as Barclays did-so maybe there will be something about.

Not wishing to get the saliva drewling too much Rhia, but I've been reading up a little in the forums idea about the banks profits being used for re-investing and that if you have been denied these monies you can actually ask for compensation on those profits....now there's a thought! - Keep that one in the back of your mind for later! :D

In the test case I saw the earliest was 99 and they were student accounts.

You can write and ask at least.

If they say no then you could always ask a Court to order them -with them having to answer by statement of truth if they say they have not.

I would think they would not be too quick to sign any statement of truth to a Court if they DID still have them.

Hi Gandolfi. I can't for the life of me understand why they won't release these t&cs when a customer (past or present) asks. After all, they are public information and someone somewhere will have kept copies so they will turn up anyway.

 

So this brings me to the What Do They Have To Hide theory> These t&Cs will be a goldmine - keep digging.

 

If they don't hand them over I am just going to go to court for them and give them the costs for the pleasure of doing so. So any Natwest trolls out there, you're on notice.

Rhia, just a thought flash.. have you attempted to ask the forum? Alan from Derby was calling for all these older T & C's to be kept in a library here I believe some time ago....drop him a PM.
