    • receiving a default NOTICE (forget simple default cal markers) does not mean it will get sold on... OC's very very rarely do court themselves.  if it does you would receive a Notice of Assignment from the debt buyer/DCA.  as for reduced payment if it remains with the OC and they issue a DN, no harm in trying but lets get all your ducks inline first. dx  
    • okay thanks do you know how long it will take for it to get to the DCA or could the OC try and issue a CCJ? even though it's unlikely also for example would the OC agree to a reduction and a small payment over a super lengthy period of time if agreed? Rather than go through chasing apologies again for all the questions, just trying to understand all the possible scenarios.  
    • Currently - "the maximum daily price at 100p / kWh for electricity and 30p / kWh for gas – keep in mind that's a lot higher than the Ofgem Energy Price Cap, so if you can't afford prices to increase further, you're probably better off sticking with a protected tariff such as Flexible Octopus." Octopus Tracker is a product of our labs, available now to customers through our beta programme. Octopus Tracker is a beta product. Some things may not work the first time, and installations and processes may take longer than we'd like. Third party tech like In-home Displays won't always work, and on occasion data issues with smart meters can take significant time to fix or prevent things from working at all.   Copied straight from octopus   Feel free to shove it somewhere else    
    • depends what the fees are, typically nothing can be added once judgement is passed bar litigation costs. on document retention time limits etc at least 6yrs previous must be held though many hold complete info. as for acronyms and abbreviations ideally yes they should     
    • Still have to submit a statement either system....if they fail they can only give verbal because they failed to file and serve.

    • 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 sent it recorded with a £10.00 postal order. I spoke to them on the phone at the begining of JUNE as well and they confirmed that they were collating the information but like I say they still have sent me anything. They have however cashed my postal order and sent through other correspondance. They are very aware of the timescales. I was going to send them the Letter before action from the templates section in relation to this as from reading some other threads it seems that doing so will give them the encouragement they need.

Ok great that it was recorded. I am sure that a SAR with HFC is £25 though. I think that has probably delayed your information. The problem you have at the moment is 100 branches have been closed so the work load for all the customer services has increased incredibly making it harder to get into contact with them by post or telephone.

The amount they are allowed to charge is a Maximum of £10.00 according to official info I have read up on. I understand what your saying about the branchs closing but at the end of the day that doesn't change the fact that they have had ages to get the info sorted out or at the very least contact me asking for more time.

Right all,

 

Just continuing on from my posts above and I thought you would like to know that I have still not recieved the SAR. I sent them the letter before action on the 14/07/09 giving them 7 days to comply or to contact me to discuss the problem to try and get some resolve to the matter. I was then contacted by the data protection manager on the 20/07/09 asking could we draw up a new deadline being the 30/07/09 and I was promised by them that it would be recieved by myself before this date. I didn't recieve anything from them and I am now going to act on my letter before action that I sent and issue court proceedings against HFC to get my SAR but I am going to need help with this as I have not done it before (other than for bank charges).

Just to add, 2 days after I spoke with the data protection guy I did recieve a letter offering me a full and final settlement (equated to around 25% of outstanding balance) but this only made me more determind to get my SAR becuase they have been a bit naughty with my account as I have pointed out in other posts.

 

Couple of questions- If I now go the court route and then I recieve the SAR say in a week s time or so then I will lose money (registering the claim at court etc). Is this a chance I will have to take or can I claim it back from HFC...

Any advice on this please.

What should I do. I sent my SAR to them in May on 22/05/09.

Two options here... a complaint to the information commisioners to get your SAR or court action yourself.

 

1) ICO, complaint email form is here, scroll down the page and click on the complain by email link.

 

2) Court, the steps are listed in these threads...

 

Firstly the letters

Then the court claim details

Just got off the phone with them - they said they can only send incomplete info for now and send the rest at a later date. I am not happy with that answer and feel they are really dragging their feet now. Coinsidently the info they say they can't send is the only bit I really need which I feel is more than just a coinsidence.

SO far

I SAR them 22/05/09

Spoke to them about something different on the 05/06/09 - They said they was collating info and it will be out to me shortly.

Spoke to them on the 14/07/09 and sent letter before action.

They called around the 17/07/09 saying the SAR will be with me no later than the 30/07/09 and could we set that as the new deadline before I act on my LBA.

I recieved offer of full and final payment a few days after the discussion regarding the amended deadline.

I called them today and was told they haven't got all the information yet. I asked how long I would be waiting they said - We don't know but we can send you part of the information you have asked for (not all of it) relating to one of the accounts and they blamed it on "we are having to scan in all of the info for all our customers etc.

I have been more than reasonable with HFC and now they can't even tell me when I will be recieving the information.

I am going to act on my LBA and try for a court order. How do I do this?

You obviously have the patience of a saint. Yeah, go for the court action. Within a fortnight of them receiving it I bet you get the information requested. Can I suggest you STOP calling them. From now on keep all communication written. You are in control now - not them

Sorry for not updating. I recieved my sar about 2 month ago and if I am honest I am still going through the information which to date I haven't done much with yet as I have had more pressing matters to do with Barclaycard and hsbc so I am saving the rest of this particular fight until the new year now once I have made sense of all the information which I might add is ALOT!!

Anyone waiting for the SAR from these clowns will get it but not within the time frame as they say they are backlogged with requests.

You sent out a SAR and they came back with a settlement figure equating to 25%?? Sorry i need to try this. Is there any particular reason why they gave you this figure? Does this happen often?

 

I've been trying in vain to find the SAR template but cannot find it anywhere. Even tried th elinks above but no luck. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Most appreciated!
