      Extra headrest: Do I have to declare this safety mod?

      By unclebulgaria67 · Posted

      Agree it is not a modification that needs to be disclosed to Insurers as changing the seats has not changed the risk.

      Ryanair are delaying paying out the compensation for a delayed flight

      By Kyosanto · Posted

      There's a thread somewhere about someone sending the baillifs against Wizzair that is quite hilarious. I would love to see someone do the same to Ryanair. Question is, should you be the one to take that role. You are entitled to the £220, if your flight was from the UK. If it was TO the UK I suppose it is more of a grey area... though the airlines I know have been using £220 as standard. Not that surprising for Ryanair, the worst cheapskates in the universe, to go for the lower amount, and if you forward this to the CEO he will probably have a jolly good laugh and give his accountants a verbal bonus. After all he's the one who said and I paraphrase "F*** our customers, they'll fly with us again anyway". While we would all love to see Ryanair get wooped in court again, I have to join my fellow posters in thinking it's not worth the hassle for (hypothetically) £7 and not sure it will expedite the payment either. It's already an achievement that you got them to accept to pay.

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

REF *************

 

We are writing to further your complaint relating to bank charges.

 

As you will be aware, issues relating the the level, fairness or lawfulness of these charges have been subject of legal proceedings between us (with several other banks) and the Office of Fair Trading which started on the 27th July 2007.

 

These legal proceedings have now ended, with the Supreme Court confirming that the bank charges are not capable of amounting to penalties at common law and that the level of them cannot be assessed for fairness under the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contract Regulations.

 

In summary we believe that the disputed charges were properly charged and the outcome of the legal proceedings confirms our position. We are therefore not upholding your complaint and we will not be refunding your bank charges.

 

If you believe we have failed to address all the issues raised in your complaint, you may escalate your concerns by contacting us and setting out the details so that we can consider this further. All correspondents should be addressed to, The senior Manager, Service Quality team, HSBC bank plc, Arlington business centre, Leeds. LS11 0PP. Alternatively you can email us at [email protected] or call us on 08457404404.

 

We should point out however, that we do not believe there is any legal basis on which the amount of the charges can be challenged. If we do not hear from you within 8 weeks of the date of this letter we will consider your complaint closed.

 

I note that you requested that HSBC does not pursue any potential enforcement action as regards the debt presently due on your account by reason that this debt consists of bank charges which you are disputing. Following the decision by the Supreme Court on 25 Nov 2009 HSBC believes that the charges have been correctly applied and therefore is entitled to pursue recovery of the outstanding debt

 

your sincerely

 

Chris Mathews Service Manager

 

 

END

So how can I kick there ass? A lot of "WE BELIEVE" in there eh, who cares what you believe! Screw you HSBC!

Please advise

Hi johny. I sent my letter before action off yesterday to hsbc. So in two weeks I need to start a claim in court, no idea how to do that to be honest. Also, I have been charged 884 by hsbc and a further 100 since I started on this forum, so can I add that to the claim even tho it's not in my first and second letter? Also can I add interest? Again I didn't ask for it back because I don't know what the interest is

Hi PPM,

First thing to do is to list the charges you want to reclaim using one of the following spreadsheets ... that will automatically work out the 8% Statutory Interest which only becomes relevant when you submit your claim to court .You can add any charges which have accrued since you sent your LBA ... and also add your court fee (if applicable) .

Bank Accounts :

England - Simple - Excel

England - Simple - Works

England - Simple - OpenOffice

England - Advanced - Excel

England - Advanced - Works

Or – for the brave – Interest on Interest ...... by bankfodder

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/hsbc-bank/180009-about-sar-hsbc.html#post1996894[/font]

 

 

I would advise waiting for new Particulars of Claim to be announced on here before going the whole court route , but at least you can be ready to roll once these are available.....

 

There are two methods of going the court route .... you can lodge a claim on- line at:

 

Her Majesty's Courts Service - Home

 

or you can get a Form N1 from your local county court .... and run it from there .....

 

Personally I prefer (and I think the site advice on here is ) to use the N1 Route as there is much more room to fully explain your case than there is on -line (they restrict you to about 400 words I think . )

 

 

The choice is yours of course PPM ... just come back and ask if you need more help ..... it's no use me giving you the old N1 form-filling instructions until a new set of POCs is available .... :)

Hi luke , :)

 

Don't worry , there's no way you're too late .... you haven't missed the boat - we're all still waiting for new POCs .... when available they'll be posted on the site here , probably under the Templates Library section as usual ...... but hopefully there will be a 'sticky' telling you when they're there ..

You're still operating on your timetable not theirs ... by waiting for the right info to allow you to proceed .. :D

Hiya Luke :) I belive we are moving slowly forward, there is a case at the moment in the Scotish courts thats looking very promising, see here

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/oft-test-case-updates/248268-sheriff-puts-bank-scotland.html

 

I know things seem to be moving slowly, I wish I could move forward myself, but we have to be as sure of our ground as possible. If the banks loose all or a good proportion of the first claims to get back into court then I think we could see a return to the free for all we had before the test case was started and in fact I think the banks would then be forced to review their whole policy and correct the situation of their own accord.

 

Lets face it the only thing we dislike more and trust less than a politician is a banker :).
