    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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.

Hello all

 

well just to let you know as of today 11th August 2006, Nationwide have closed my account, the beep beep beeps........:-x took them to court for over £500 in charges they paid up £234.36p and said the rest was to go to their charges that they have lost, i applied to the court to look at them closing my account as i was told over the phone that they were closing the account due to me not conducting the account according to the T&C's yeah right, i went OD for pennies and they charged me hundreds in a few months, anyway i did not open another account cos i thought that the court would do something... but they did not:-x i did not even get a reply from my local court, the worse thing about this is i have been waiting for my back dated incapacity benefit which i had to appeal for to be paid to me to clear my mortgage arrears as my mortgage company want my home, and after months of waiting for some money, incapacity told me today they have been trying to put it into my account for a few days and it's getting returned, not only that but my job, who i may add sacked me cos i've got a disability have given my compensation which you guessed it needs to be put into an account in my name.....:| it can't get any worse, i have been trying to get an account today, over the phone and on line as i cannot get to any banks today and i am waiting on NatWest they told me they have to look into it cos i credit history is shot to pieces..... so i have to wait.... saying that i have been waiting months for money from both parties so a few more weeks won't hurt, one good thing is IB said it will send 1 giro credit for me in the psot in the next few weeks just to see me through, as they owe me more than £2000 they said they cannot send out giro's for that amount, i just thought i'd let you all know that nationwide are **** bags, i was going from them in a few weeks anyway... but the only time i needed their services and i can't ...... good luck everyone but please don't do what i did get another account set up cos they WILL CLOSE YOUR'S :-x

Hello all

Can they do this? If you were claiming £500 in penalty charges then isnt that what you should have received back plus interest? I'm puzzled!!

 

As for them closing your a/c, I hate to say it but the advise to get a parachute account before court action is everywhere on this site. All I can say is, I hope that things get better for you George!

I'm sure that I read somewhere that people here (admin staff etc)are looking into the lawfulness of banks closing accounts due to court action.....here's hoping there's some validity to an argument against, who knows where that will lead!!

If you took them to court, and won, then you should get the full amount you claimed.

If the deductions of £234.36 is thier fees, are these fees the actuall cost to them of your breech of contract? If so then then are addmiting that they charge double there actuall costs.

as far as I am aware the banks have never disclosed how much a returned item etc; costs them, even so if say a charge of £30 then £15 is still way over the actuall cost's

I have just read your thread and I am very puzzled as to why you haven't received the amount claimed. Which stage did you get too? If you took them to court then the bank pays your court charges ontop of the amount claimed and the 8% interest added.

 

I don't understand whats happened?

:p :p :pCARMEN :p :p :p
