    • Even a Piers Morgan is an improvement and a gutless Farage Piers Morgan calls for second Brexit referendum WWW.THELONDONECONOMIC.COM Piers Morgan and Nigel Farage have faced off over Brexit and a second referendum in a heated reunion on BBC Question Time.   “Why don’t we have another referendum about Brexit?” he questioned. “I seem to remember when 2016 came around we were told there was going to be control of our borders and it was going to be economically beneficial to this country. And eight years later we have lost complete control of our borders… and economically it seems to have been a wilful act of self-harm.”   ... Piers missed off : after all somebody said a 48/52 decision would be "unfinished business" by a long way - was that person just bul lying (again)  
    • when did they (who) inform you there was a 'police case' and when was this attained? i will guess the debt is now SB'd as it's UAE 15yrs. have you informed the bsnk ever by email/letter of your correct and current address? you can always ignore anyone else accept the bank,  Block and bounce back all emails. Block any text messages  Ignore any letters unless it's: - a Statutory Demand - a Letter Of Claim - a Court Claimform via Northants bulk.  
    • I left Dubai 8 years ago and intended to return. However a job prospect fell through. I’d been there for 15 years. I decided to pay my credit card and the bank had frozen my account. There is no means to pay the CC so completely unable to pay when I wanted to other than the bank advising me to ask a friend in the UAE to pay it on my behalf!  fast forward bank informs there is a police case against me for non payment. Years later IDR chased me and after months/ years they stopped. Now Judge & Priestley are trying their luck. Now I have received an email in English and Arabic from JP saying the bank has authorised them to collect debts. Is this the same as IDR although I didn’t receive anything like this from them. Just says they are authorised?
    • The neighbour's house is built right on the boundary so the side of their house is effectively the 'wall' in our garden separating the two properties. It's a three storey house and so the mortar poses a potential danger to us. Because of the danger, we have put up an interior fence in our garden to ensure we don't risk mortar dropping on us. That reduces the garden by 25% which is not only an inconvenience, but it's the part of the garden where we had lined up contractors to install a patio and gazebo which we will use for our wedding reception in less than 2 months. We have spoken to the neighbour's caretaker who is on the case, has spoken with a roofer and possibly a scaffolding company, but there are several issues. They don't seem to understand the urgency. As long as there is a risk of falling mortar, we can't carry out any work in the garden, and unless they hurry up, we're looking at cancelling our wedding as it's not viable to book a venue because we can't use our own garden! Also, they want to put the scaffolding up in our garden which would be ok with us if it was a matter of a few days and they hurried up, but there is a tree (most likely protected by the conservation area), so most likely they can only reach part of the roof with the scaffolding if they put it up in our garden. We suggested a roofer with a cherry picker but they seem to want to use a company they've used before. Any and all comments, suggestions, advice is more than welcome.  PS. does it make any difference that the neighbour is a business (ltd) and not a private dwelling?

    • 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.

Your e-mail has been passed on to our Copy Statement Unit and I have asked that your request is noted and for a response to be sent to you at the earliest opportunity. I wish to point out that there is a £10 charge for the requested information. The Copy Statement Unit will be contacting you in connection with this.

I would like to point out that under Data Protection Act guidelines, the maximum period we are obliged to provide historic information such as this is 6 years.

Hello MR BURR

Thanks for taking the time to apply.

Sorry to disappoint you, but we can't open this account for you.

Whenever we consider new applications we use a process called 'credit scoring', a commonly used method for banks to assess new applications. From the information you gave us on your application form, you didn't meet our criteria for this account.

We may have also used information from our credit reference agency, Experian. But don't worry - that doesn't necessarily mean you've got a bad credit rating. You may find it helpful to contact the credit reference agency we used to help us reach our decision. They will be able to provide you with a copy of your credit report. The quickest and easiest way to do this is by telephone or online:

On line (24hours, 7 days a week) Credit Reports: Get your Credit Report from Experian UK - £2.00

By phone (24 hours 7 days a week) 0870 241 6212 - £2.50

However, you're still able to obtain a copy of your report by post by sending a cheque for £2.00 to Experian Consumer Help Desk, Experian Ltd, PO Box 8000, Nottingham NG80 7WF. Remember to include your current and any previous address.

Thank anyway Smile.. :evil:

Called my local branch to chase up my request for my Bank Statements for the last 6 years. (22nd August 2006 at 15:35pm) (its been 10 days now and my cheque has NOT been cashed)

Spoke to a very helpful lady who called Birmingham to see how my application was going. She said she could not get confirmation Birmingham was processing my request as they are very, VERY busy.

However, she did personally request my statements for me and said they will be delivered in 4 working days.

Wahoo...:D

So, I should have them by Wednesday 30th August.

Mr posty came this morning and dropped 16 letters on my mat from lloyds. (Thursday 24th August 8:07am)

 

Statements dating from 01 Aug 2001 - July 2006 (missing out half of 2005 and all of 2004)

 

Maybe I will get some more tomorrow.

 

I'll keep you all posted. :oops:

 

Also, can anyone tell me if Lloyds HAVE supplied 6 years worth of statement history. I spoke to somebody at Lloyds today who said they only KEEP 5 YEARS of transaction history in their archives.

 

Thanks again to you all.

Received 14 more statements in the post (Friday 25th August at 8:00am). :)

Totalling 30 dating from 17th October 2001 to 4th August 2006.

Charges totalling £824.00 (excluding the addition of the 8% APR column on the standard Excel spreadsheet :? ) have been levied on my account.

Just need statements dating back to August 2000 now.

So we wait...

I have also been charged nearly £900 in Over Draft Interest. Has anyone sought re-payment for this and succeeded?

 

Also a consolidation loan of £1500 was advised by Lloyds. This was to reduce my monthly charges I was receiving :| (which I paid off early)

 

Can I get these charges back? or If I am not allowed them back, and claim for them nevertheless, will the bank just offer a settlement THEY think I am owed?

 

Or will they just follow it through the courts and battle with me 'til the death :shock:

 

Ill ask about "contractual interest" as soon as I know what i'm claiming for... :D

 

Thanks to all for your help.

I suppose my question is; Will Lloyds defend and actually go to court if your claim seems unreasonable.

 

I am looking to claim back, my charges (bounced D/D, O/D Excess Fees (£840 so far)) and the interest they charged me on my overdraft (£900 ish) and the consolidation loan of £1500.

 

Adds up to a fair bit. Whats everyones thoughts on this?

 

I am unsure on how to prove that the charges they made took me overdrawn.. as I have been overdrawn pretty much for 6 whole years :(

 

I have had my lloyds account for 9 years now...

Hi Ashley,

 

Sorry noone's got back to you sooner - as you've no doubt noticed this place can get a bit busy sometimes.

 

There may well be precedent to go after the consolidation loan amount - I seem to recall a thread in the Lloyds forum no less where someone added a £10,000 consolidation loan to their charges - and Lloyds paid up. http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/lloyds-bank/5584-janeyb-lloyds-massive-settlement.html is the thread.

 

I sent my Prelim to the 125 Colmore Row - Birmingham address. Should do the trick :)

reload vs Lloyds - £2703.11 Settlement Reached 14/07/06.

reload vs Lloyds Round 2 - Prelim sent 27/03/07. £435 owed.

reload vs Capital One - £456.57 Settlement Reached 14/07/06.

reload's mum vs Barclays - £745 owed. £375 partial settlement reached 17/10/06.

Thanks for the response reload. :)

 

Decided not to claim for the loan.. went for all charges plus overdraft interest :p (£1700).

 

Prelim was sent Saturday 9th September (recorded) they must have got it Monday 11th and I had a reply today (Tuesday 12th) with the " How sorry they are that i'm unhappy" and the "Voicing my concerns" leaflet. Nice turnaround. :rolleyes:

 

So on the 26th LBA goes off.

Lol.....I also got the £10.00 worth of statements from the Copy Centre. All of a year and a half of it.. it was pathetic.

 

I received all my statements way before, just by asking my branch to call the copy centre and request them.

Hi AshleyB,

 

I noticed you say you've claimed £874.80 O/D interest. Just to check - you do know you can only claim the O/D interest that has been applied on top of and as a direct result of each unlawful charge, yes? You can't just claim ALL the O/D interest (unless ALL of it is due to unlawful charges, of course!). Apologies if you know this already, its just that the figure seems far to high to me.

Please remember to DONATE! Help CAG keep up the fight!

Its up to you of course, but its not advisable. I can't see a judge being to impressed and even if it did'nt get that far, don't kid yourself that they won't notice. If you want to claim more and your feeling confidant, read up on contractual interest in the general forum and go for that instead. If you do though, make sure you fully understand the logic and issues involved first.

Hi again Ashley,

 

I have to reiterate what Gary has just said. I strongly recommend you do not file for the full overdraft interest when you file your claim with the courts. It could lead to your claim being struck out, as the proportion of the overdraft interest not applied to penalty charges is perfectly lawful and valid.

 

That said, if you do decide to go ahead, good luck.
