    • Paint is a free programme on any Windows PC. But don't worry, the choice here is not either perfection or nothing. As you say, use your scanner, save the file ... and then use the "choose files" option when you post to CAG to add the file. We can do all the redacting and converting to the correct file type at this end.  The important thing is just to get the info to us. Why not do an experiment this afternoon and see if the above works?  
    • I see they're trying to round up asylum seekers and lock them up for about three months so they can be put on planes to Rwanda. I'm a bit surprised that this is legal.  
    • thought for the day "Prime ministers need a big strategy that tells you where you’re going, you need a bunch of tactics that get you there, and you need the ability to take everybody else with you."   Now I know you are all thinking 'why is the  UKs destination Rwanda ???
    • Asset Link filed for a default CCJ against me, in relation to an old Barclaycard debt which I apparently signed an agreement for back in 2000.   I did not own a Barclaycard in 2000 so I know this is not true.  The CCJ notice was sent to an old address so I did not receive it.  Years later when I found out about the CCJ when I applied for credit, I put an application in to have the CCJ set aside.   As part of the set aside case, I was asked by the judge to provide a draft defence, should the CCJ be set aside.   The defence I provided was that I did not admit to the debt as I had not been provided with any evidence of an original loan agreement.   I won the case and the CCJ was set aside.   Link then filed to court again to make me pay the debt.   We both filed directions questionnaires and the judge allocated the claim to the small claims track.   As part of the directions, additional directions given were as follows ' Additional Directions in a claim for an Assigned Debt - Because the claim is in respect of an assigned debt the Court makes the following directions for the management of claim.  The claim shall be automatically struck out at 4pm on 3 April 2024 unless, before that time, the Claimant delivers to the Court and to the Defendant the following documents'  It then listed various documents such as an original agreement, deed of assignment, notice of default, statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement etc.     The Claimant failed to provide these documents within the deadline provided and instead I received a copy of a bundle of documents provided by them in preparation for the court date, this was received weeks after the deadline.    I have called the Court to ask if it has been automatically struck out and they advised that it is not automatic and that I should still send my witness statement by the deadline provided, which is Wednesday.  This does not give me much time to prepare my witness statement.   I have never done anything like this before and I am unclear what my witness statement should include.  My thoughts were that I should keep it simple and stick to the facts, like the fact thy have not provided evidence of the original agreement, or the deed of assignment of the debt.   They have provided a copy of a default notice from Baclaycard dated 2015, this states a figure of £550 but the debt they say I owe is £10k.   I am not sure what makes a valid default notice?   I have previously requested proof of the debt from Barclaycard directly and have evidence of emails between us where they have been unable to provide me with the agreement or any documents at all relating to the debt.   Should I include these as an appendix?  Are there any other documents I should include in my bundle?    I have also tried to mediate with the claimants, to save the court costs and time, on a without prejudice basis, but the claimants solicitors refused to mediate.   Should i state this in my witness statement too to show the judge that I have been reasonable and they haven't? Many thanks   Louise

    • 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.

In which case the DN is definitely defective. You must be allowed 14 clear days to remedy.

 

They have not allowed any time for posting which is for 1st class = 2 working days and 2nd class = 4 working days.

Have you actually started your claim for mis sold PPI ?

 

Morning CB,

 

Yeap that was what started all this, I put my claim in a) I was self-employed b) told loan would be approved IF I took ppi.

 

Within a few DAYS of sending my complaint they responded with "we were not regulated at the time so we reject ypur complaint, if you are not happy about this you can complain to The Finance & Leasing Association" - having read about the FLA that would be a complete waste of time.

IMHO think it is time for you to make a complaint to the Financial Ombudsman.

 

I understand that they advise you that the FLA was the regulator at the time and I also understand your reasons for not wanting to go that route.

 

However, Paul has pointed out many other flaws on the document. There is also the query whereby information was added to the documents after you had signed and returned them. Plus the fact that the upfront insurance premium didnt appear until the first statement.

 

The FOS may write back and say that they are unable to help, but meanwhile this will buy you valuable time. Because the account will be firmly in dispute. Any time you have to write back to this crowd, you just put your FOS reference at the top of the letter. But to get that reference you have to make the complaint.

 

You also say that you havent been able to get past a certain level of staffing. Have you tried writing directly to the Registered office with your letter headed OFFICIAL COMPLAINT.

Submission of a Very Serious Formal Complaint against the Royal Bank of Scotland

 

Despite several further requests for the information as required by my S.A.R - (Subject Access Request), none has been forthcoming.

 

Letters have been sent on:

24 January 2008

16 February 2008

12 March 2008

28 March 2008

2 April 2008

12 April 2008

12 April 2008 Request for CCA under provision of Consumer Credit Act 1974

19 April 2008

 

I have still not received Consumer Credit Agreements with associated paperwork on four of the loans. Because of the inordinate delays, the information requested on the first loan which was refinanced in March 2002 would be of no use as any claim against that loan would now be statute barred within the Scottish Courts.

I have not received data in the name of recordings of telephone conversations or transcripts of those conversations between the RBS and myself.

I have not received copies of emails or letters which I know exist.

I have also not received any properly certified documentation by Data Controllers within the RBS stating the information that I have requested has been disposed of, destroyed or erased.

 

The Royal Bank of Scotland is a member of the British Bankers Association (BBA), is licensed by the Financial Services Authority and should I believe, operate within the Law of the Land and therefore respond within the statutory timescales within Legal Acts at Law, namely the Data Protection Act 1998.

 

I have, when asked, provided information to the RBS, but it seems to me now, that they will try and delay supplying the data requested by using whatever delaying tactics they see fit. On one occasion referring me back to DLFS for the information I had requested. The fact that the DLFS had been legally transferred back to the RBS on 1 March 2006 (the transfer included all DLFS loans) was obviously overlooked by the Data Protection staff within the RBS.

This is indeed an extremely sorry state of affairs and it beggars belief that RBS staff would not be aware this Legal transfer had taken place.

 

My understanding is that the RBS had 40 days to fully supply all the information requested in my Subject Access Request, this has most certainly not happened.

 

I would therefore like to request that each addressee takes the appropriate measures to instruct or at least direct the RBS to supply this information to me as a matter of urgency.

 

I have a complaint lodged with the Information Commissioners Office Case Reference xxxxxx

I would now urge the Commissioner to consider an Enforcement notice against the RBS under Section 40 of the Data Protection Act.

I would also request that the Financial Services Authority, the Financial Ombudsman Service, the Office of Fair Trading and the British Bankers Association add this extremely serious complaint to their files on the Royal Bank of Scotland.

 

 

 

Yours sincerely

Bank charge successes:

Halifax - Full settlement incl interest.

HSBC - Settlement, goodwill no admission of liability about 75% of claim.

RBS - Settlement, goodwill no admission of liability about 70% of claim.

2 ongoing claims for bank charges with HSBC with more to come. (Supreme Court ruling could have upset these claims) They did :mad:

PPI Successes

PPI 4 settlements on 9 loans. FOS involvement on 7 added on the 8 % Statutory interest another 30% to both.

2 claims settled in full with LV without FOS involvement.

2 claims settled in full with HSBC without FOS involvement

 

PPI Claims ongoing with:

Cap one Now with the FOS

Barclays. Paid up today 24/04/10 cheque received for over £4,500 and in the bank.

LTSB still have to decide on this as their SAR production was abysmal. Papers data mixed up documents missing etc

 

1 Complaint not upheld by FOS they said it was ICO issue. Complaint upheld by ICO. See this..

Post 290 from

***RBS PPI Claim Long fight but, WON***

 

Please do not PM me for advice as it may be sometime before I can respond.

 

Keep at them. Do not give way and do not accept all they tell you, they will delay and stall for as long as they can to prevent repaying you your mis-sold PPI.

Despite the serious dispute with Santander regarding this account, out of the blue today I received a snotty letter from Code Red giving me 48 hrs to contact them regarding the account as they are now dealing with it.

 

They have added £30 for dealing with it as they are an 'external' dca HOWEVER at the bottom of their letter is the following :-

 

Santander Consumer (UK) plc trading as Code Red Collection Services.

 

( yet another 'in house' dca :evil:)

States in small print at the bottom of the letter:-

 

Santander Consumer (UK) Ltd trading as Code Red Collection Services.

 

Dispute is with Santander (formally GE Woodchester) they've charged £30 to the debt as a fee for passing account to an external dca.

I used to work for santander group, well the abbey branch, i worked in a mortgage centre, got on overdraft that was offered to me, a 500 one, then couple months i got laid off, told them i was on the dole and they were the ones that laid me off, they wouldn't have non of the £1 a month trick, so they sent it to some other collection agency who then accepted the £1 per month payment!!! What was the point!!!!! Santander are so awkward. I find them quite childish aswell.

Woodchester kindly screwed up my agreement and is flawed and improperly executed as Santander now own Woodchester they can have the hassle from me until the debt is written off - all this would have gone un-noticed if they'd accepted that they missold me ppi.

Hi all,

 

Received the following letter this morning from Santander & would like some urgent advice as to what I should do next. Currently dealing with a family bereavement and cant think straight at the moment.

 

Dear Beachy,

 

I write further to our letter dated ** June 2009 and your letters dated ** May 2009 & ** June 2009 addressed to our collections department and Code Red Collections Service.

 

I can confirm that we have considered the points you have raised in your recent letters and have in your previous letters.

 

We have issued a number of responses to you addressing the issues you have raised, these letters were dated ** January 2009, ** February 2009 & ** March 2009. In these letters we advised you that our conclusion is that we are satisfied that our credit agreement is properly executed and that you remain liable until the balance is cleared in full. I must advise that our stance remains the same.

 

As we have issued our final response on this matter your agreement no longer has a hold place on it and collections action will continue until your agreement is brought up to date.

 

Whilst I appreciate that this may not be the outcome you were expecting, I trust that I have addressed all the cocerns that you raised. However, if you remain dissatified, you should note that we have now reached a state of deadlock as our internal complaints procedures have now been exhausted. You must refer the matter to the Financial & Leasing Association, details of which were enclosed in our previous letter, as we can no longer correspond regarding this matter.

 

Yours sincerely

Complaints Resolution Officer

 

Yet again my letter has been passed to the muppets in their complaints resolution office, they have, IMO, failed to explain WHY they are right and Iam wrong not to mention they have completely forgotten my claim for mis selling PPI.

 

If someone could advise my the next move or to contact PT for further guidence I would be most greatful.

 

As Always,

 

Beachy

Where have you got to on the claim for mis-sold PPI?

 

Wherever you, escalate to the next level (prelim-LBA-court) - I know it's hard when other things are going on - unfortuantely, the likes of Santander don't take such things into account :(
