    • Northmonk forget what I said about your Notice to Hirer being the best I have seen . Though it  still may be  it is not good enough to comply with PoFA. Before looking at the NTH, we can look at the original Notice to Keeper. That is not compliant. First the period of parking as sated on their PCN is not actually the period of parking but a misstatement  since it is only the arrival and departure times of your vehicle. The parking period  is exactly that -ie the time youwere actually parked in a parking spot.  If you have to drive around to find a place to park the act of driving means that you couldn't have been parked at the same time. Likewise when you left the parking place and drove to the exit that could not be describes as parking either. So the first fail is  failing to specify the parking period. Section9 [2][a] In S9[2][f] the Act states  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Your PCN fails to mention the words in parentheses despite Section 9 [2]starting by saying "The notice must—..." As the Notice to Keeper fails to comply with the Act,  it follows that the Notice to Hirer cannot be pursued as they couldn't get the NTH compliant. Even if the the NTH was adjudged  as not  being affected by the non compliance of the NTK, the Notice to Hirer is itself not compliant with the Act. Once again the PCN fails to get the parking period correct. That alone is enough to have the claim dismissed as the PCN fails to comply with PoFA. Second S14 [5] states " (5)The notice to Hirer must— (a)inform the hirer that by virtue of this paragraph any unpaid parking charges (being parking charges specified in the notice to keeper) may be recovered from the hirer; ON their NTH , NPE claim "The driver of the above vehicle is liable ........" when the driver is not liable at all, only the hirer is liable. The driver and the hirer may be different people, but with a NTH, only the hirer is liable so to demand the driver pay the charge  fails to comply with PoFA and so the NPE claim must fail. I seem to remember that you have confirmed you received a copy of the original PCN sent to  the Hire company plus copies of the contract you have with the Hire company and the agreement that you are responsible for breaches of the Law etc. If not then you can add those fails too.

    • I understand what you mean. But consider that part of the problem, and the frustration of those trying to help, is the way that questions are asked without context and without straight facts. A lot of effort was wasted discussing as a consumer issue before it was mentioned that the property was BTL. I don't think we have your history with this property. Were you the freehold owner prior to this split? Did you buy the leasehold of one half? From a family member? How was that funded (earlier loan?). How long ago was it split? Have either of the leasehold halves changed hands since? I'm wondering if the split and the leashold/freehold arrangements were set up in a way that was OK when everyone was everyone was connected. But a way that makes the leasehold virtually unsaleable to an unrelated party.
    • quite honestly id email shiply CEO with that crime ref number and state you will be taking this to court, for the full sum of your losses, if it is not resolved ASAP. should that be necessary then i WILL be naming Shiply as the defendant. this can be avoided should the information upon whom the courier was and their current new company contact details, as the present is simply LONDON VIRTUAL OFFICES  is a company registered there and there's a bunch of other invisible companies so clearly just a mail address

    • 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 HP,

 

As this is a mortgage account, you may need to use a restitutionary interest rate lower than you would with a credit card claim.

 

What's the rate applicable to your mortgage ?

An update:

 

 

With regards to W's £40 monthly charges & added monthly interest there is over £1k penalties that W charged me.

I spoke & wrote complaint letters to W.

 

 

They acknowledged my complaints but refused to accept that the penalty charges were unlawful and refused to reimburse the £s.

As a gesture of goodwill they sent a cheque for a tiny nominal amount (less than 5%!!).

I have not cashed the cheque they sent yet as I read somewhere that if I bank it, they could interpret this as full & final acceptance of their offer.

I wrote complaining that their gesture was ridiculous and my complaint still stands.

They wrote back saying they considered the case closed and I should now direct my complaint to the ombudsman.

 

 

In the meantime, I refinanced and have redeemed the whole mortgage, which included these extra costs - which the lawyer did not argue about on my behalf.

I now have a new mortgage with a different bank.

W can obviously no longer threaten repossession as they have the mortgage repaid !! But I still believe W owe me more than £1k in unlawful penalty charges.

 

 

Can I still pursue W for reimbursement of the penalty charges?

Can I threaten W with legal action?

I would love to do this.

Especially as my position is stronger now I have no debt with them; in reverse I believe W has a debt to me.....

Hi Mum,

 

Yes you can seek a refund of the full amount of every penalty charge and restitutionary interest on top (as this is Barclays).

 

Have you prepared a compound interest spreadsheet using 24.9% yet. Let us know the totals.

 

See this thread too - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?440434-Orge-Vs-Barclays-Woolwich-Arrears-Charges

very tired so need to sleep now - but did have a quick look at the other thread.

That person went back years in claiming charges & interest. I was only intending to reclaim a couple years - yet now am beginning to think I should work out ALL the penalty charges over the whole 15y period. Can I ? Especially as at the beginning W penalty charges were shockingly £75 !!

Would be good to know.

Then I can go through all my files at the w/e...

If you have the statements then you can try.

 

You will need to argue that the statute of limitations 32 c (i think) means the clock does not start ticking until you discover the mistake (in law or fact)

I am quite organised and have a file of every payment and statement from the start. The statements show every penalty charge incurred.

 

 

I will try to work on this over the w/e.

Do I understand correctly:

I need first to list all the charges ; then list all the interest added ; then somehow work out what the compounded interest would be ; and then Total the lot ???

 

Where do I find the tools (spreadsheet) to work out the compounded interest over the last 15y ??

Then I need to write to Barc / W and "demand" a refund of all charges ?

Does it matter that W say they have closed my complaint ?

 

 

I am not very mathematical so hope I can do this !!!

Hi Mum,

 

No, use the right compound interest spreadsheet and it'll calculate the int't for you. See here - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=34010&d=1330899255

 

I suggest you claim Restitutionary Interest at 24.9% but others have claimed at 29.9% and won. It is a nominal interest rate that you claim from the bank to ensure that they have not profited by lending out your money and making profits from it.

 

Read up on the relevant subjects. Lots of *WON* cases here that will guide you well in many aspects - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/forumdisplay.php?97-Barclays-BCard-and-Woolwich-successes

 

They are cases about reclaiming on BC a/c's but the principles involved are the same. You are reclaiming unlawful penalties applies to your a/c but, in your case, it's a mgge a/c.

HI

I have gone back over 15y and its a whopping total of charges.... Made up of lots of £75 or more recently £40 'Admin Charges' and added Interest.

 

 

I don't seem to be able to open the Compound Interest Spreadsheet link above. Not sure what a .php ending is? What should I download to be able to see the link? And then be able to work out the total????

Many thanks

Have succeeded in saving as .xls

Am just starting to input data.

In each month I received a) Arrears Admin Charge and b) Arrears Interest Charge.

The Interest charge changes each month, dependent on the arrears and the interest at the time.

Do I put in both charges a) and b) each month on separate lines?

 

 

What do you mean put in their APR in D15 ?

This is a mortgage and had 2 types of interest as the borrowing was split between svr and tracker (was a btl).

Do I put in the 24.99% that was recommended above?

Gosh.

I had initially just left it at 0% and have got as far as start 2009. With 0% the charges are already 3.5k - with 24.99% the charges are almost 20k. Is this really correct? I have so many more figures to input and it is going to end up a huge sum that W will owe. Really ??

Hi Mum,

 

The older the charge, the greater the effect of compound interest.

 

Let us know the totals separately for charges and for compound int't when the spready is complete.

 

Then we can consider how best to deal with this.

I have finished inputting all data

 

 

I do have a query though. I did complain in 2009 and did get some of the figures reimbursed a few months later. So how would I alter the data to show this?

for the moment I have put everything in - every Admin charge and every arrears interest charge since 2003. But will have to make allowances for the reimbursed charges in 09.

 

 

I have input 24.99% and it adds up to a huge amount - almost 30k - because of the length of time that all these £75 admin charges accrued interest....

I have other questions.

 

 

Given the calculations that I have done above:

a) does this alter the way I approach Barc/W through the courts, as although the charges are below 10k, the compound interest takes the total way above the 10k limit for small claims???

Or do I initially just write to Barc/W saying what I consider they owe me????

 

 

b) W sent me £50 as a gesture of goodwill !! Should I just sit on it or send it back ??

 

 

c) What should I do about this ???

I had no idea that the potential sum owing could be this big in compound interest?

What CI % should I use ??

Charges - £6000 (tbc - less some adjustments)

CI @ 29.9 - £30,500 (tbc less adjustments)

Total - £36,500 tbc

 

 

Really not sure what to do next......

Hi Mum,

 

I would return the £50 cheque to W saying this is not acceptable and you will write further shortly.

 

Due to the large amounts involved, I'm going to seek advice from the Site Team on this.

 

In post #46, I asked what the mgge rate was. I realise it may have varied but please confirm the lowest and highest rates that applied over the relevant years.

 

Also, what is the earlies penalty charge on your spreadsheet.

 

A court claim is allocated to track according to the claim amount. In your case, the claim amount includes restitutionary interest so this would put your claim on the Multi Track :-

 

Small Claims track deals with up to £10K

 

Fast Tracks deals with claims from £10K to £25K

 

Multi Track deals with cases over £25K

 

On SCT, your risks of costs against you (if you lost in court) should be limited. But on the higher tracks, the cost consequences can rise significantly. Hence why I want advice for you.

Hi Mum,

 

While we wait for input, can you post up a copy of the spready showing 24.9% CI. We can then check you've got things right on that.

 

Hide personal data.

 

Re the chgs they refunded in 2009, these can just be deducted from the spreadsheet total as a manual adjustment.

hi

 

 

The rate was interest only, btl. It was split into different rates due to taking out further advance during the term under different conditions.

The lowest rate was 5.49%

The highest rate was 8.39%

 

 

Does this make a difference to the % added into the spreadsheet?

ie: it wasn't a credit card, like b'card, where the rates were as high as 29%.

If I change the % to, say 8.5%, the compound interest, of course, reduces a huge amount - to apx £6k; with the sum total only just over £10k.

Which would make it fit into the Small Claims track

What would be the general advice on best % to put in the CI Sheet

I uploaded it as xls. I think whoever reads it has to do what I had to do and 'save as' a .xls extension to read.

 

 

I haven't taken out any of the refunds yet.
