    • Thank you for that "read me", It's a lot to digest, lots of legal procedure. There was one thing that I was going to mention to you,  but in one of the conversations in that thread it was mentioned that there may be spies on the Forum,  this is something that I've read quite some time ago in a previous thread. What I had in mind was to wait for the thirty days after their reply to my CCA request and then send the unenforceable letter. I was hoping that an absence of signature could be the Silver Bullet but it seems that there are lot of layers to peel on this Onion.  
    • love the extra £1000 charge for confidentialy there BF   Also OP even if they don't offer OOC it doesn't mean your claim isn't good. I had 3 against EVRi that were heard over the last 3 weeks. They sent me emails asking me to discontinue as I wouldn't win. Went infront of a judge and won all 3.    Just remember the law is on your side. The judges will be aware of this.   Where you can its important to try to point out at the hearing the specific part of the contract they breached. I found this was very helpful and the Judge made reference to it when they gave their judgements and it seemed this was pretty important as once you have identified a specific breach the matter turns straight to liability. From there its a case of pointing out the unlawfullness of their insurance and then that should be it.
    • I know dx and thanks again for yours and others help. I was 99.999% certain last payment was over six years ago if not longer.  👍
    • Paragraph 23 – "standard industry practice" – put this in bold type. They are stupid to rely on this and we might as well carry on emphasising how stupid they are. I wonder why they could even have begun to think some kind of compelling argument – "the other boys do it so I do it as well…" Same with paragraph 26   Paragraph 45 – The Defendants have so far been unable to produce any judgements at any level which disagree with the three judgements…  …court, but I would respectfully request…   Just the few amendments above – and I think it's fine. I think you should stick to the format that you are using. This has been used lots of times and has even been applauded by judges for being meticulous and clear. You aren't a professional. Nobody is expecting professional standards and although it's important that you understand exactly what you are doing – you don't really want to come over to the judge that you have done this kind of thing before. As a litigant in person you get a certain licence/leeway from judges and that is helpful to you – especially if you are facing a professional advocate. The way this is laid out is far clearer than the mess that you will get from EVRi. Quite frankly they undermine their own credibility by trying to say that they should win simply because it is "standard industry practice". It wouldn't at all surprise me if EVRi make you a last moment offer of the entire value of your claim partly to avoid judgement and also partly to avoid the embarrassment of having this kind of rubbish exposed in court. If they do happen to do that, then you should make sure that they pay everything. If they suddenly make you an out-of-court offer and this means that they are worried that they are going to lose and so you must make sure that you get every penny – interest, costs – everything you claimed. Finally, if they do make you an out-of-court offer they will try to sign you up to a confidentiality agreement. The answer to that is absolutely – No. It's not part of the claim and if they want to settle then they settle the claim as it stands and don't try add anything on. If they want confidentiality then that will cost an extra £1000. If they don't like it then they can go do the other thing. Once you have made the amendments suggested above – it should be the final version. court,. I don't think we are going to make any more changes. Your next job good to make sure that you are completely familiar with it all. That you understand the arguments. Have you made a court familiarisation visit?
    • just type no need to keep hitting quote... as has already been said, they use their own criteria. if a person is not stated as linked to you on your file then no cant hurt you. not all creditors use every CRA provider, there are only 3 main credit file providers mind, the rest are just 3rd party data sharers. if you already have revolving credit on your file there is no need to apply for anything just 'because' you need to show you can handle money. if you have bank account(s) and a mortgage which you are servicing (paying) then nothing more can improve your score, despite what these 'scam' sites claiml  its all a CON!!

    • 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 , thnxs for that :-) did you get a response ? probably standard letter right ?:x

 

Too right, thats all I ever got. Abbey are extreeeeemely good at being difficult and awkward right down to the wire so be prepared to dig your heels in. They arent a push over but if you follow the step by step guide you will be fine and you will get your money back ;)

Hi to everyone in the Abbey forum. I have sent my data access request to the Abbey on the 14th August , standard 40 days to comply . I am trying to claim on an account closed in 2002 and i am aware of the Abbey saying that their microfiche systems are not covered under the data protection act ( another stalling tactic) .Has anyone got an update as to how to deal with the Abbey regarding the microfiche argument?:)

I am aware the Abbey are treating my request for statements under the DPA as a standard request for statements, ( Had telephone conversation with Jackie Scott Data protection team at Milton Keynes) I have now sent Data protection act disclosure template letter request to Pam Speed ( Abbey Bradford ) spelling out exactly what it was i required and that they have until 23rd September to send me my statements or i will commence a County Court action under section 7, and section 15(2) of the Data Protection Act 1998.:) anyone got any ideas how to proceed from here.

Hello Prushton

 

Did you receive any information from them? If not, you have to put a claim in through your local court, N1 form for Non-Compliance. From other threads, people have been receiving their info just before the court hearing, when taking this route. The only thing is, the £30 court fee is lost money unless you want to take them to court to reclaim it, which a few people have done.

 

If you have received only part of the info, then you can send a Prelim letter with a schedule of estimated charges, asking for a refund. You can work your estimate from the info you do have by taking an average from them, and using that figure for all the months you are missing.

 

Phil:)

This is only my personal, honest opinion!

Hi, no I didnt recieve any statements just the usual microfiche letter and a form to fill in. I sent them another letter stating exactly what I require and told them they have a further 26 days of the 40 days under DPA to comply or I will take court action to force compliance :)

The best advice is to check out oddfellows thread, he sued abbey for the same thing ie non compliance under sec 7 dpa i believe.

 

You need to ask for an order instructing them to comply and the value is a fiver or something equally small. The charge will then be £30 i believe.

 

Check out oddfellows thread for some guidance.

On Sat 23rd Spetember I received 13 mths of statements from the Abbey. They arrived right on the 40 day deadline but obviously i am still short of the full 6yrs. I sent a Letter Before Action to them on Sat 23rd September giving them the 7 days notice, after which i will complete the N1 form and take it to the courts. :)

Hi , I sent my Data protection act subject access request on 14 th August , the 40 day deadline has passed ( 23rd September) On this date i received 13mths of statements .As the Abbey was in breach I have sent a Letter before action which they should have recieved on 25th September giving them 7 days to comply. I have telephoned the Abbey customer complaints line to lodge a complaint and i have been told that as the account was closed in 2002 that they only hold the records for 6 yrs. I then asked them how they were able to produce the 13 mths of statements if as they said they only keep records for 6 yrs.They said that that was all the information they held. I believe this was just a fob off , i would appreciate any help on this thanks. :-) I wonder if I could send a request for payment of estimated charges as my charges for the 13mths period were £592.27 and so do i set it out something like this?

 

£592.27 divided by 13 then times 12 for annual figure = £547.36

 

Estimated charges for 2000 - 2001 = £547.36

 

Estimated charges for 2001 - 2002 = £547.36

 

Estimated charges for 2002 - 2003 = £547.36

 

Estimated charges for 2003 - 2004 = £547.36

 

Estimated charges for 2004 - 2005 = £501.74

 

Charges as notified 2005 - 2006 ( list all charges) =£592.97

 

Total claimed £3,284.15

 

I would appreciate any help on this.

Filed my N1 claim form today to force Abbey to comply with my DPA at Plymouth county court (I had to work hard to persuade the guy behind the counter that it was on the correct form) he kept telling me is wasnt and wanted to charge me £65 :o ) eventually he gave in and took the N1 telling me to ring tues 3rd October to see if it went through. Hopefully now the Abbey will understand I aint going away:) .

 

I wonder if someone could help me with calculating the interest on my estimated charges, as I havent a clue how to go about it. I would appreciate some help please :)

Hi thanks for your help , i sent an estimated schedule of charges but didnt manage to sort out the estimated interest, i figured it probably wouldnt be that much anyway. As long as they pay me my charges total £3605.03 then i would be happy.

 

I wonder if you could take a look at this for me. its from the statute of limitations act 1980 (chapter 50 ) scroll down to pages 438 and 439 and find section 32 its entitled postponement of limitation period in case of fraud, concealment or mistake.

 

it can be found at the following link : http://www.lawcom.gov.uk/docs/cp151apa.pdf

 

I believe that this could be used to remove any limitation period that is applicable to our situation and allow for bank charges to be claimed further than the six year period. What do you think ?

Received notification from Plymouth court today, informing me papers deemed served on 05/10/06 for non- compliance to Data Protection Act. They have until 19th October to reply to court. I figured as i have already submitted an estimated schedule of charges, that by the time they actually supply my statements as per my DPA request i should be in a position to apply to money claim online and submit a revised figure based on the statements they are forced to supply. :)

I have today decided that i will send the following letter to Pam Speed at the Abbey in Bradford to let her know that i have not given up on the idea of receiving the bank statements requested under my Data Protection Act request of 14th August. I would welcome any thoughts.:)

 

 

We are writing to inform you that we are extending the scope of the above Data Protection Act Subject Access request to include a complete list of transactions and charges for the entire period relating to our banking history with your organization i.e. From the day it was opened in 1988 to the day it was closed on the 23rd January 2002.

You no doubt are aware, being the recipient of our Data Protection Act Subject Access Request dated 14th August 2006 and subsequent Letter before Action dated 23rd September 2006 that you have, to date failed to comply with our request and supply the full details we require.

We wish to inform you that we have, as we stated it was our intention to do so in our Letter before Action dated 23rd September served court papers on the registered head office address of the Abbey Plc in London to force compliance to our Data Protection Act Subject Access Request dated 14th August 2006. These papers were deemed served on the 5th October 2006. A previous Action of exactly the same nature brought against the Abbey for non-compliance to a Data Access Request resulted in the courts finding against the Abbey and a compliance order was issued, for your reference the claim no was:

Claim No: 6LO00969

Lowestoft County Courtand the Claim was to require compliance with a Subject Access Request under Section 7 of the Data Protection Act.

We shall of course, when the courts issue a compliance order against the Abbey in our case, furnish you with a copy so you may then act upon it and send us the information as requested above. Alternatively you may wish to send the information requested before the courts force compliance in which case we would be pleased to receive it. We look forward to hearing from you soon. Perhaps in your response you would be so kind as to include your direct telephone number

 

Yours faithfully
