    • Hi All, So brief outline. I have Natwest CC debt £8k last payment i made was 7th November 2018 Not a penny since. So coming up to the 6 year mark. Can't remember when i took out the  credit card would be a few years before everythign hit the fan. Moved house 2020 - updated NatWest as I still have a current account with them. Then Lowells took over from Moorcroft and were writing to me at my current address. I did get a family member to speak to them 3 years ago regarding the debt explained although it may be in my name I didn't rack it up then went contact again. 29th may received an email from overdales saying they were now managing the debt. I have not had any letter yet which i thought is odd?  Couple of questions 1. Does my family member speaking to lowell restart statute barred clock? 2. Do you think overdales aren't writing to me because they will back door CCJ to old address even though Lowells have contacted me at current address never at previous? ( have no proof though stupidly binned all letters  ) Should I write to them and confirm my address just incase? Does this restart statute barred clock? 3. what do you think best course of action is?   Any help/advice is appreciated I am aware they may ramp up the process now due to 7th December being the 6 year mark.   Many Thanks in advance! The threads on here have been super helpful to read.  
    • Hello all, just got this from my bank today.   ” Update on your payment refund As you know we temporarily refunded the amount(s) of £381.98 to your account pending investigation. We’re pleased to confirm that an additional amount of £359.99 has also been refunded to your account by the retailer on 18th March 2024. What will happen next To correct this situation, arrangements will be made on 6th June 2024 to reverse the original refund supplied from us.  Our file in respect of this matter will now be closed, which we trust is satisfactory.”   Not sure what to do as I was previously told if I hear nothing back after a certain date that would be the case closed now it’s been changed to the 6th of June. and as you see I’m not getting a full refund I don’t know wether to contact them again and try to get the £20, or if I even can at this point? Thanks again.

    • 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.

Just rang Barclays and had a bit of a chuckle because I said I had a court case on Wed, really next Wed the 21st but I never let on. Oh she said whats the claim number with a bit of stess in her voice........thinking it was 2moro. She came back to the phone and says thats next Wed. Yes thats right I said, as she calmed down she said someone would call me shortly but not today.

Laura just called me from Barclays. Have agreed settlement, lost about £80 on the old interest arguement but the daily interest brought it back with a bit over so I'm happy with that. She is emailing me with the form to sign and send back.

I feel a little bit like I caved in about the £80 but I have been dealing with a lot at the moment and I think the fight just left me.

 

ANYWAY AM I FIRST TO THE LINE ????????

 

Good luck guys.

Right he called me again today. Waffled for ages, again, mainly repeating what he told me before...can't pay you this, can't pay you that, you'll lose in court blah blah. Then he offered me £791, saying he wouldn't pay any contractual interest or litigation costs. He's agreed to paying pre-6yrs though. I said 'you've already paid me contractual interest on another claim', he responded by saying 'that was based on a purely commercial decision'. Pffft!

 

Again I listened some more, patiently and said we can discuss legalities in court. I said I'd accept this offer as partial payment of the outstanding total and will pursue the rest in court. Once again, I said I'm looking for the full amount, (now £2902.06). I intend to be there on the 21st of Feb, and have sent my court bundle in. Where is yours? Since you haven't sent it, I have no idea what to make of your intentions although it pretty much looks like you intend to settle beforehand.

 

He said 'hmmmm, well I am trying hard and my best to work this out, and would like to be reasonable. I will go back to my supers and discuss this with them'. I thanked him for letting me know his position, and made my position clear too, that I want the full amount. He told me he'll be in touch tomorrow.

 

I can see this will go backwards and forwards right to the line.....

My word they are cutting it fine. Hopefully today though it will be sorted. I think he realises that there is no point in ringing you unless he is gonna offer the full amount.

 

Good luck

Yes Lizzy, my thoughts exactly. However, if he calls back today with another paltry partial offer, I will tell him not to bother calling me again unless he has the full amount ready to put into my account..otherwise I'll see him on Wednesday... :)

Hi

 

you have all done better than i, my situation with the lovely barclays is completing a CPR part 8 just to get my requested info, even though i actuall recorded a conversation with a barclays business manager[mine is a business account] whereby he told me all info is stored of Mircfiche for a minimum of 12 years, very said he had not asked for my account details before he told me this as he wuld have noticed a 'MARKER' [whatever this is] on my account stopping my request for the info, suffice to say total panic by the bank and my info did not arrive, let them tell the judge why not i say!!

Thanks for all your congrats, it is a wonderful feeling to beat the banks. Thanks to all of you who have helped me in every possible way to make this happen, especially you Hags, and my chat-room buddies :)

 

Anyway, update, as promised:

 

He called me at about 3.45, always as 'Unknown' caller, so I said 'Hello Anthony' He laughed at the fact that I know who he is, given that he's called me so many times! He said he'd discussed further with his supers and further to the £791 he was willing to make an 'ex-gratia' payment of £400 odd and a further ex-gratia payment of £400 to make up half the contractual interest.

 

I was very annoyed by this point and said 'so you're still not offering the full amount?' He sounded embarassed when he said no. They I said 'Anthony, no disrespect to you as I understand you're relaying info, but you are WASTING MY TIME! I have told you from day one what I am claiming. I've not sprung anything on you (apart from the lit. costs, and even then you knew I'd claim them), you've known all along what my claim is. Now, five days to go you are STILL offering me partial payments when I've made it quite clear I want the full amount, or I will see you in court!' I said more, but can't quite remember....that was it though...that's when he folded.

 

He then said 'Ok, ok, if and IF we were to settle in full (excluding the lit costs which you can't get) it would be a commercial decision with two conditions...1) that your husband can't get the same outcome in his claim...to which I said that has nothing to do with my claim at the moment' and 2) You'll have to sign the confidentiality clause because we don't want you telling everyone we've agreed to pay you 26.4% contractual interest (INTERESTING POINT HERE EVERYONE, PUN UNINTENDED)'

 

I laughed and said 'My claim, my conditions. If you want my confidentiality you're gonna have to pay me more. I'm not going to give you it for free!!' PMSL!

 

So he said 'fine, let me get back to you in 15 mins. What's your fax number?'

 

He called after about 20 mins with the full figure except £15.80 of misc. postage costs in my POC. He said there was absolutely absolutely no way they would pay that. Again, I laughed and said FINE, don't, I'll just add it to my lit. costs letter and get the judge to consider them. He quickly added that figure back in too making the full settlement of £2450.52 (or something)...money will be in the account on Monday.

 

Signed and faxed back crossing out the confidentiality bit...then took a big swig of Lemonade...

 

BUT not before sending him and the courts a letter to request the lit. costs of £447, (thanks for your fantabulous template letter GaryH!)considering they've settled five days before the hearing.

 

Almost over, but this will be the cherry on the cake if I get it :)

 

Now I need a lie down!

Crash
