    • @Man in the middle I've been searching the forum and you seem very knowledgeable. Would you mind giving a look at my query please? Thanks in advance!!
    • Thanks for this! I'm still not clear if I'm facing more than 6 points on my license though. Can you explain any further please? When I accept the 2nd speeding ticket, will they just charge me £100 and 3 points, or will they be more severe concenquences since that offense took place the following day of the 1st offense? Similarly, when I accept the 3rd offense, will they look at my record or just charge me with the £100 fine and 3 points?
    • Yes of course. That's why it says cc:: BIg Motoring World at the bottom. Don't imagine that this solves the issue. It doesn't. He not have to force the finance company and big motoring world to accept the rejection to give your money back. I suggest that you get the letter off tomorrow. And let us know what you hear but on Friday you should then send a threat to the finance company.   Have a look what I have said here about your options and read the whole thread as well.  
    • Been perusing the actual figures on the polls above wondering where the '16% claimed for deform comes from? I understand that there are 'weighted' end results based on secret calculations ...   Probably going to repeat this later, but remember that the ukip/brexit/reform/deform party has ALWAYS had poll speculation FAR better than their actual  performance at elections - by large margins. SO: The labor and Tory votes come largely from simply the people who say they will vote for them - sorted Lab 43% Tory 20%, with maybe another small 1-2% coming from the weightings of the 'not sures' Greens largely get what is declared from 'other' , although with another declared green bit from the 'pressed' question   So as the share of the voting displayed in 'other' granted to reform/deform is around 11%, where does the '16% too often being reported come from? Seems that reform has been granted as beneficiary of effectively ALL the don't knows and wont says, who when pressed didn't actually declare for someone else ... effectively adding 40%+ to their reported polling % - rather strange given their consistent under-performance compared to polling - or perhaps that is the cause of the higher rating eh?   Now I admit the possibility (probability?) of wingers being ashamed of declaring their support for the yuckey lemon end of the spectrum ... but surely  that should affect the 'Torys as well? Maybe the statisticians have simply weighted in that deform wingers are simply more likely to lie?   But - without 'weightings' and assumptions that faragits will get everything that isnt declared as a definite and unequivocal 'not that Piers Morgan' - reform is on around 11% it seems.   Add to that the history of polling a lot less than the hype - and the simple fact that faragit wingers seem to be spread across the country (presumably skulking in their moms spare room despite being 45+) and greens and lib dems seem to be community minded - I think two seats will be an epic result for farage. Hardly the opposition - far more raving wingnut party.   and importantly - Has farage got a home in clacton yet?

    • 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

Okay here is the main gist of their new POCs:

 

AND I QUOTE VERBATIM

 

The Claimant opened a Preference Account for the Defendant numbered xxxxx on xxx99. A copy of the Application Form/Agreement is attached. A copy of the Account Conditions of Use in force at the date of the Agreement is attached. (These are the same as before)

 

The Agreement provided the Defendant with credit under an Overdraft Facility. This was referred to on the Account Statements as Credit Limit. The Agreement, however, was exempt from Part V of the CCA 1974 in terms of the nature and form by virtue of the Director General of the OFT's Determination under Section 74(1)(b) of the CCA 1974 dated 21 December 1989

 

The Defendant was originally offered an Overdraft Limit of £1000. This was gradually increased by the Claimant up to £4000

 

The Defendant was required to make monthly deposits of "at least 5% of the total debit balance outstanding of £50, whichever is the freater or the full balance if less than £50"

 

Clause 6 of the Agreement states that: if the account is overdrawn you will make monthly payments by DD in the amount and on the due dates applicable under this Agreement from time to time. You will also pay immediately any outstanding excess over the Overdraft Limite, any arrears of previous payments and the amount of any Card Transactions made in breach of the terms of the Agreement. If you wish you may pay into the Account sums in excess of the outstanding debit balance from time to time.

 

The Defendant was provided with a Keycard (which is also a Cheque Guarantee Card) and a Cheque Book to be used on the account within the approved Overdraft Limit. The Account also had the facility to set up Standing Orders and Direct Debits and clear Cheques paid into the Account. (My note: That's a new one on me!!!!)

The Claimant amended the Account number to xxx xxx xxx xxxx on or around the xxxx2005 by virtue of the Conditions of Use of the Agreement.

 

THEY then go on to mention the Breach of Agreement, that they sent a Default Notice in respect of the account pursuant to section 87(1) of the CCA 1974. A copy of the Claimant's computer records showing issue of the Default Notice is attached. (I never received this DN and when I challenged them they sent me a blank template!- Also, at first hearing when I challenged the computer record, the DJ told me not to!)

 

SO there you have it...

 

Any ideas as to how I should formally write my new Defence - bearing in mind the DJ has already dismissed my complaint about the 'computer' being able to prove I was sent (but not received) the Default Notice?

 

Anyone???

 

Help?

The metion the determination - which was 1st feb 1990 if you want to get picky - does that mean they have provided letters compliant with item 2 of the determination?

 

Does the application form / agreement say anything about being a regulated agreement?

We need to compare our agreements, ill scan mine and post it.

 

Mid 2006 I asked to use my account as a current account and I was told that it could not be used for standing orders etc? Have a good read through your T&C, if it don't say it then it cannot be done!

 

I have the originals plus the ones they sent under a request and they are both the same.

I suggest you get hold of a copy of the banking code from the fsa which is what current accounts are run under and compare your terms for conformity. If your account does not comply with the banking code then it cannot be a current a/c.

Hi HB - Thank you - I've been out all afternoon over at mother-in-laws and got to work tomorrow so if you'll bear with me (no pun intended!) I'll photobucket the application form agreement on Saturday and post the link here.

 

Thank you for your help.

Oh and also, I have just read through the application and the conditions of use and absolutely nowhere does it state that the account could be used like a 'current account' - no mention whatsoever of direct debits, standing orders or paying in salary ... nada.. so where they've concocted that statement from ??? only knows...

 

I really despise how they just change the facts to suit them! Grrrrr

This is funny! This is taken from the Banking Code's Glossary:

 

Credit card

A card which allows you to make purchases and

withdraw cash up to an arranged credit limit. You can

pay off the credit we grant you in full or in part by a set

date. Interest is usually charged on the amount of any

balance you still owe. In the case of cash withdrawals,

interest is normally charged from the transaction date.

You may also have to pay an annual fee.

 

 

Sounds very like the Preference card I was using!

At the end of the day did you sign to be governed the the CCA or the banking code. I cannot see how that can be fudged

 

I think that the main basis of cc vs od is was there an expectation at the outset of the account that you could/would maintain a positive balance. Afterall an od is an arrangement on top of a current account which is opened with the ongoing expectation of an average positive balance and withdrawal based on day to day living.

 

eg is there a statement in the terms about interest on credit balances?

 

Also another differentiation test is that for a credit card you cannot exceed you limit on a single transaction. SO if you have a positive balance of £50 and your credit limit is £500, if you try and buy something for £525 it will not work, although technically the funding is available.

 

In terms of branding as well was it a preference card or a preference account?

 

looking forward to getting my teeth into the documents

Hi Kel123

 

I know! I'm so convinced there must be a solid defence for this case - I am reading all I can at the moment about the CCA 1974 and anything I can find about bank accounts/overdrafts.

 

This needs to be defended by early January so have a couple of weeks yet but I want to try and ensure I cover all my bases.

 

I'm after any help I can get -

 

How does your agreement differ from mine? I think, but couldn't swear to it, that my preference card was given to me when I took out a mortgage (since paid off) so at the time I assumed it was like a credit card - silly me.

 

Anyway - I'm just annoyed that they keep changing their minds about what they think, let alone what's right or wrong...

I'll dig it out but it is on one of the threads on here.

 

I had a overnight loan and the card came with it. It is split down the middle with the loan on oneside and the card on the other.

Hi kel123

 

Read through your post - mmmm? Seems that yours was a combined agreement unlike mine which was just for the preference account.

 

I still can't see how they can call it a bank account when we can't use it like a bank account... and I still maintain that all the statements I received referred to my CREDIT LIMIT not an OVERDRAFT LIMIT so how can they change the goalposts like they do...

 

I want to submit a really strong defence...

I'm hoping HungryBear and ReallyMadWoman come along to give me support plus maybe one or two of the big guns from the Caggers...

 

I just need some help in some of the legalese wording so that the DJ can't dismiss what my argument is so easily - I was really upset that I was told not to question the computer's statement!

Thank you

 

 

why are there 2 documents almost the same. This is an agreement for an banking code/fsa account I can find no legal basis for the lending of money under this agreement - unless they are illegal money lenders. If it is a credit agreement that require not only yours but their signatures then it must say it is 'a credit agreement regulated by the cca 1974 sign only....'

 

Your best defense? This PLUS the ace in the hole is no DN.

 

Add it all together, they have given you money under a non-regulated agreement and as such cannot have had any realistic expectation of repayment and hence any money given to you must legally be treated as a gift.

 

what legal basis do they rely on to seek repayment in the POC. Clearly NOT under a regulated agreement executed on xxxxx, defaulted on xxxxx. So what are the exact words in the poc?

 

- all I can see at the moment is 'we gave you some money then changed our mind' - TOUGH.

Okay, so now can one of you please help me compile this into a tangible defence. I would do it myself but I'm struggling due to the mother-in-law's current illness - I was going to spend yesterday on this but but ended up spending the whole day looking after mum as she had an angina attack and needed lots of care.

 

Anyone?

Hi FDPM,

I've had a read through and caught up, but it's total chaos here at the moment - OH just home from working abroad, daughter due home from Uni today, tv engineers, BT, curtain fitters falling over each other etc, etc. Whoever thought it would be a good idea to move a week before Xmas????

I will do my best to look in and contribute properly over the weekend.

Thank you HB and RMW!

 

Chaos here too, Mother-in-law is now quite ill - somehow she has picked up an infection? She doesn't go out so how that's happened?? Father fell over yesterday - thankfully I was there and he didn't smack his head! Now we're all covered in snow!!

 

Anyway - thank you for all your help - I've got until first week of the new year to put something together...

Daughter is also caught up in snow - was due at station about 4, but who knows what time it will be now. I just hope she doesn't get stuck somewhere overnight or the credit card might be taking a hit again!

What are you on about??? There's no snow here, not even a flake. Nice sunny day, albeit bitterly cold.

I really do appreciate all those 'thank you' emails - I'm glad I've been able to help. Apologies if I haven't acknowledged all of them.

You can also ding my gong if you prefer. :)
