    • Paragraph 18 – you are still talking about Boston stolen items. About time this was fixed??? Paragraph 19  In any event, the claimant's PS5 gaming device was correctly declared and correctly valued. The defendant accepted it for carriage and was even prepared to earn extra money by selling sell insurance in case of its loss or damage. New paragraph 20 – this the defendant routinely sells insurance in respect of "no compensation" items (a secondary contract contrary to section 72 CRA 2015) new paragraph above paragraph 20 – the defendant purports to limit its liability in respect of lost or damaged items. This is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights act 2015. The defendant offers to extend their liability if their customer purchases an insurance cover for an extra sum of money. This insurance is a secondary contract calculated to exclude or limit their liability for the defendants contractual breaches and is contrary to section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015. New paragraph below paragraph 42 – the defendant merely relies on "standard industry practice" You haven't pointed to the place in your bundle of the Telegraph newspaper extract. You have to jiggle the paragraphs around. Even though I have suggested new paragraph numbers, the order I have suggested is on your existing version 5. You will have to work it out for your next version. Good luck!   Let's see version 6 Separately, would you be kind enough to send me an unredacted to me at our admin email address.
    • i think theres been MORE than amble evidence of that and am astonished that criminal proceedings haven't begun.
    • Yep, those 'requirements' not met to shareholders satisfaction seem to me to be: 1. Not being allowed to increase customer bills by 40% (of which well over 50% of the new total would NOT be investment) 2. 1 plus regulators not agreeing to letting them do 'things in their own time (ie carry on regardless)
    • As already mentioned freely available "credit scores" are fairly useless. All lenders have their own "credit scoring" system, that for obvious reasons they don't divulge. And they're "scored" differently to the freely available ones. As soon as they could, we've always encouraged our two children to use credit cards responsibly... Pay off in full, etc, to generate good history. It's paid off. At quite young ages, they have both obtained loans for cars, mortgage and their credit card limits are through the roof. Personally, I have shifted debt around a lot on credit cards (even financed a house purchase once at 0% 😉) and I've only ever been refused a credit card once, sorry twice by the same company, over many years. They must have something very different in their lending criteria. You're a tight one, Mr Branson.

    • 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.

Doesn't anyone have charges from Abbey?

 

Have you got a stayed claim? Let us know. Abbey are in an especially weak position to resist charges claims.

Is this only for stayed claims or are newcomers welcome? After 4 yrs of going on at them, my brother and sis-in-law have finally decided enough is enough and I'll be dealing with their claim for them.

Hi, I currently have a claim ongoing with Abbey for bank charges although haven't started a thread as yet. Am at the stage that my claim was on hold with the banks and have received their standard letter claiming that due to the result of the test case, they will not be refunding my charges. Any advice on how to proceed would be appreciated. Have been considering sending the Govan Law Centre letter?

 

have now started a thread - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/abbey-bank/250798-reclaiming-abbey-charges-where.html#post2814156

Abbey have just zapped £50 out my account in charges. I was wondering what course of action to take in the current circumstances. If you have any suggestions BankFodder, they would be most welcome.

I have an old claim that was stayed for over 2 years.

 

Abbey applied to have it struck out and got a court letter today saying it has been. I have limited time to appeal or something.

 

Is there anything left I can do?

 

Any help much appreciated.

 

Here's my case thread... http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/abbey-bank/58234-airbag-abbey.html

I also have an old case that was stayed as soon as the test case began. The account is now closed with an unpaid overdraft which the reclaimed charges would more than cover. I haven't heard from them yet about striking. Not sure how to link back but will try here: http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/abbey-bank/86191-elliejay39-abbey-guru-needed.html

will now go and read the front page piece on misrepresentation....

Hi BF, I have an account which Abbey have defaulted..

 

I may not be able to get the default removed but maybe I can get the charges refunded? I suspect in the region of £1000.00 !!

 

I haven't yet made any claim, is it too late?

Hi Bankfodder,

 

I am sorry to bother you, I have a thread and was wondering if you could take a quick look.

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/abbey-bank/121833-my-situation-abbey-4.html

 

The letter send to me has a due date soon to run out, and was hoping maybe you could help point me in the right direction?

 

Many Thanks

Hi this is in the Abbeys defence. The claimant`s contention that the said fees are unenforceable and/or are "penalty charges" is denied. The fees reflect and are proportionate to the defendants administrative exspenses incurred due to the claimant`s breach of contract and are a genuine pre-estimate of damages suffered by the defendant. Dated 24/04/07. Have i got them and should i amend my claim. HELP PLEASE

I've got some Abbey charges from 1993 and 2005, I've got the statements, basically they built up over a few months. So in the end they just went into my savings account and took the money. I'm compiling the data now.

Hi BF

 

I have an outstanding charges claim. I didnt issue and shabbey said they would await the OFT decision.

 

Shortly after the OFT decision I received a letter from them demanding £1000 being my ovderdraft facility they removed as I was no longer paying in £1000 per month, followed by a default notice. That was about a month ago and now gone quiet.

 

Not sure what to do now, but if they issue proceedings, maybe counterclaim my charges?

 

All coments gratfeully received!

 

Many thanks
