    • deed?  you mean consent order you and her signed? concluding the case as long as you nor she break it's conditions signed upto? dx  
    • Well tbh that’s good news and something she can find out for herself.  She has no intention of peace.  I’m going to ask the thread stays open a little longer.   It seems she had not learned that I am just not the one!!!!  plus I have received new medical info from my vet today.   To remain within agreement, I need to generally ask for advice re:  If new medical information for the pup became apparent now - post agreement signing, that added proof a second genetic disease (tested for in those initial tests in the first case but relayed incorrectly to me then ), does it give me grounds for asking a court to unseal the deed so I can pursue this new info….. if she persists in being a pain ? If generally speaking, a first case was a cardiac issue that can be argued as both genetic and congenital until a genetic test is done and then a second absolute genetic only disease was then discovered, is that deemed a new case or grounds for unsealing? Make sense ?   This disease is only ever genetic!!!!   Rather more damning and indisputable proof of genetic disease breeding with no screening yk prevent.   The vet report showing this was uploaded in the original N1 pack.   Somehow rekeyed as normal when I was called with the results.   A vet visit today shows they were not normal and every symptom he has had reported in all reports uploaded from day one are related to the disease.

    • 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.

Hi all,

 

I am trying to reclaim bank charges via the hardship route and have had a reply to my initial letter asking me to fill in a customer financial statement and provide documentary proof of arrears etc.

 

Is there any reason why I shouldn't comply with this request? I don't really trust RBS with anything now and I don't want to send them loads of personal financial information which they might then somehow use against me!

 

If I shouldn't send it back then please let me know what I should do to progress the claim. The amount I am asking for is nearly £10,000.

 

Thanks!

"6.

Where the firm does not have sufficient evidence to assess whether or not the complainant is in fact in financial difficulty, the firm will seek such further relevant information as is reasonably required to make that assessment. In the event that the firm reasonably requires relevant information to be provided by the complainant and the complainant does not provide the requested information within a reasonable period of time, the firm shall not be obliged to treat such a complainant as being in financial difficulty."

 

The above reason is why you should complete it otherwise they do not have to assess you for FH.

 

If I shouldn't send it back then please let me know what I should do to progress the claim. The amount I am asking for is nearly £10,000.

 

Thanks!

 

As you are in Scotland you can look at charges from 27th July 2002(as the clock stopped on limitations on 27th July 2007) under FH.

If you take the claim to court then it will be stayed pending the conclusion of the OFT test case issues.

Hello! No I didn't oppose a sist. I sent them the first letter telling them not to even bother with their sist chat ( I paraphrase) because I was claiming hardship. I have filled in their income and expenditure form and await a reply. I'm pretty confident of getting something back but we shall see. I've already indicated to them that I won't hesitate to take it to the FOS if they don't refund my money.

 

I'll keep you posted.

I'll keep you posted.

But unless you can argue their reasons for not paying out under FH then the FOS will agree with RBS.

Without going into detail I hit pretty much every criteria for hardship that the FOS lays down. If RBS don't pay out then they are at it frankly. I'm just making it clear to them that they better treat it seriously or I will take it further.

 

On another note when I originally requested the statements back in June, I also did so for my mortgage account. Despite dealing with the requests for my two current accounts they have not sent me anything for the mortgage account. I just phoned them to chase it up as it is well past the 40 day maximum and was told that no charges would have been applied to this account and that I can't claim anything back anyway so they didn't send me anything.

 

My question is simply are they telling the truth? :eek:

On the last bit yes but if you have asked for them, the bank should have provided the information.

 

OK, will ask the usual questions I ask on financial hardship.

Do you have priority debt arrears(mortgage.rent, council tax utilities)?

Are any of those debts being paid off?

Sorry so to be clear they wouldn't have added charges to the mortgage account?

 

Yes I do have priority debt arrears on my mortgage, council tax, gas and electricity. There is a plan in place to pay the council tax, I am on reduced mortgage payments but these are not actually paying the arrears just maintaining the current payments. The gas was threatened yesterday to be cut off and the electricity will be the same shortly. I also have a ton of other debt although I don't know how seriously they take that when assessing hardship.

You need to contact RBS and tell them that your circumstance have just got worse, ie see bit in bold.

They have made me a very good offer (about 4/5 of what I was claiming) that I am going to accept. The only issue I have is that they are insisting on paying it into the original account (which they have frozen and which I can only access by going into the bank personally). Is there any reason why they have to pay it into this account. They seem adamant that is all they will do. The account also has a large overdraft arrears on it meaning a fair chunk of the money will be swallowed up which I would rather didn't happen.

 

Cheers!

Hi,

 

I have been posting on another thread in the Scotland part of the forum but I hoped to get a quick answer here to a problem I have with RBS.

 

I put in a hardship claim for nearly £10,000 and have been offered £8,400 which came as big surprise and which I am delighted to accept. The problem is that RBS are insisting that they pay it into the existing account. Now the issue I have with this is that there are overdraft arrears on that account of about £4000 and this would instantly swallow half the refund. I already have an agreement in place to pay this off over 4 years at around £80 a month and I want to continue with this. Also I have an RBS credit card debt and I am worried that they might use the refund of charges (to an account which is frozen and totally under their control) to pay the rest towards that debt leaving me with nothing.

 

My question really is do I have to accept payment to this account as they say or can I demand a cheque? I don't really want to push my luck too far!

 

Thanks!

Hi, Chris.

 

I'm not really sure about this one :rolleyes: Like you say they will more than likely 'offset' your refund.

 

I don't know how this works with Hardship, I'll try get someone to have a look and advise.

 

Regards.

Thanks Scott,

 

In all honesty I could take the initial hit of the overdraft being paid off but the credit card debt is totally unenforceable and I need the other cash for my baby which is due in about 3 weeks! Last thing I want is the whole refund being swallowed!

 

I'd like to think I could trust RBS not to be sly but my whole experience with them and the way they caved in so quickly to my claim makes me very wary.

 

Any help much appreciated.

I know before the 'test case' a lot of people were telling the Bank they would continue their claim through the courts, as it was their money and they should decide how it was spent.

 

The times I've claimed, it was allways 'offset', even the FOS told me this would happen when I used them for my last claim, whether or not they should have told me that I don't know.

 

Surely It's your money and you should be able to tell them to send you a cheque.

 

I've been having a scout about and can't find anything favourable yet :rolleyes:

 

Lets hope someone comes along with some positive advise.

 

Chris, do you want me to merge your other thread and put it with this, in the Hardship Forum ?

 

Regards.

Yes that's fine to merge it. At least people will see it is possible to get your money back even if it is not completely on your own terms.

 

Thanks for having a look. I'll try to whip it out the account before the credit card section get their paws on it!

Apologies but my time is now limited during the week so I generally am on other forums before I come here, if at all. Any charges repaid under financial hardship have to be paid into the account where they have come from.

Does that mean that the amount of money you were repaying to the bank reduce?

Scott, whilst I completely understand what you are saying it still leaves the debt outstanding which would be getting interest on it. Unfortunately as it is a gesture of goodwill and court claims are stayed automatically, then the OP will get nothing. However, to kinda answer his concern, the bank do have the right of offset which they would use on the overdraft but if the OP has an agreement on the credit card, then it must be up to him if that is used against that(I would claim the credit card charges back as well ;) ).

I've been having a scout about and can't find anything favourable yet :rolleyes:

Gonna have a quick re read back. How much is owed on the credit card?

So far we might have at least £80.00 a month saving for you.

Thanks for coming back yourbank. I have been offered back £8400 in charges from a claim of £9400. I'm happy with that as I could do with the money. There is £4000 overdraft arrears to pay off and again I don't really mind doing this although I already have an agreement in place to pay it off over 5 years.

 

The big problem is that I have a CC debt of £10,000 with RBS which I have already been down the CCA route with and which they only have a totally unenforceable application form for. I have no reason to believe that they can take money out of my account to pay this while it is in dispute but I wouldn't put it past them, and if they do then basically I get no cash back in my pocket.

 

The problem is that my account is frozen so I have no access to it to see when they make the repayment or to stop them from taking out money and paying it to the CC people. Just wondered if this is something they can do or are likely to do?

 

Thanks!
