    • for the sake of history, i've merged your old sadly failed charges reclaim court claim. have they ever sent you a default notice regarding this mortgage? dx  
    • I am financially at  point where I can see the light at the end of the tunnel regarding my debts. I have one remaining and I am interested to see what my options could be. I have be in contact with the Citizen’s Advice Bureau and the National Debt Helpline, but their advice has been a little more generic (but still helpful). This debt is 12 years old and is now owing around £3k. It was a bank loan and has been passed to several creditors over the years. A payment plan has always been in place and is up to date. I get statements every 6 months. There has never been a CCJ. I have been sent the letters advising of change of ownership. Following my own review of my finances, I decided to contact the current creditor to see if they have a copy of the credit agreement. I regarded this as due diligence as the debt has been sold on several times. The creditor updated me several times saying they had requested the document from the original lender. After 12 months of this they wrote to me saying they had not received it but were still waiting and would send it once received. The last letter was over 6 months ago. I then submitted a freedom of information request to the current and original creditor. The original creditor supplied one, but the current one did not include one in the pack they sent me. I went back to them to ask specifically about this as it was what I requested in my request. They replied saying the debt was sold to them as one without the credit agreement and they did not have it. They have requested it above, so I believe that means they cannot obtain it either for the FOI request. I contacted the original creditor and exercised my ‘right to be forgotten’, under the Data Protection Act, which they have complied with. I also got my up to date credit file and this debt is not showing on it with the current creditor or any others. I contacted the creditor and made them an early settlement offer. They do have an early settlement offer in place on their portal, but I was advised to try to get a reduction via negotiation. I have not heard back from them yet, but I understand through a separate upheld compliant it has or will be refused. Due to this complaint and the creditor putting the account on hold I had stopped payments, and advised them of this. To date, they have not contacted me about resuming payments since the complaint is resolved, but it has only been a few weeks. I am annoyed that they were not honest with me about not having the credit agreement, because that is not being transparent and I understood they should tell you if they do not have it.   I have two questions (but am open to anything else anyone would like to add): 1) Based on the above, does anyone think this account enforceable? I do not think it is? 2) Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed? I could resume payments and then settle early. If the above had not happened, I may have just done that. Thank you for any help or input anyone can provide. It is appreciated.

    • 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.

Well its been a little over 7 days now since Nat West recieved my SAR. Do you think I should make a phone call to chase up the process of my statements, if so is it Joyce I call? I sent the SAR to bishopsgate, or should I call the the Branch?

Just an update:-

 

Phoned up CMS today as still waiting for second lot of statements to be told by the nice lady on the phone that it is out of their hands as they are ordered from Leicester then sent to CMS then to me. She pointed out that this can take three weeks. I told her that the request I sent gave them 40 days and the deadline is the 2/10 and I will be contacting the Information Commissioner and lodging a non compliance to which she said she would take the necessary steps to get the statements by the deadline.

 

So hopefully will get them soon as Im twitching to get the prelim letter off.

Well almost had to go to court for non compliance, but final statements arrived this morning. So now have the job of wading through them and to enter into spreadsheet then off with the prelim letter.

 

Phew at least now I feel I have something to do, a long road I know but will stick it out to the end. (Just like the Bandit)

Hi guys, some help required here. Im claiming the bank charges back for the old man.

Ive been wading through the statements that finally arrived, everything was going fine until I hit 2004.

 

History:-

 

My dad was in a right state in 2004 and got help from the CCS to manage all his creditors this included his bank account which was overdrawn to his overdraft limit. They are still managing his finances to date making payments to all he owes.

 

Now my question is since CCS took over, his statements show credits of £7 - £10 per month but NatWest have been charging him the higher interest rate for still being over his limit now these payments are nowhere near meeting the charges on his account(unarranged/interest). The balance on his account was about £-1300.00 when his account was passed to Credit Management Services, he now owes over £-1800.00 so as long as they keep racking up the charges its going to take a life time to pay it off. Sorry gettin to the questions now.

 

1. Can he claim these charges back?

 

2. Can he also claim back the charge of £30 for a default notice.

 

 

I dont know much about the CSS but I would have thought that since the closure of my dads account the interest would have been frozen along with the charges as an aggreement was made for payment between the CSS and Natwest.

 

Anyway, any help appreciated guys.

Well yet another update.

 

Recieved reply from the prelim letter, basically telling me to sod off.

 

I like the way that in the second paragraph Mr Higley says " We believe our charges are fair, reasonable and transparent". Then states in another paragraph " the bank is under no obligation to explain how its charges are calculated and we are not prepared to enter into any correspondence on this matter. The compilation is a confidential commercial matter". So much for tranparency.

 

Anyway can I now send LBA, or do I have to wait for prelim to expire? (7/11/06)

 

 

Cheers

Cheers for reply Michael, will give it a few days then send it off.

 

One other question if I may, are there any advantages of using money claim rather than the N1 form.

 

Think I would prefer to use the N1 as you have more scope for details about claim plus court is very local.

Plus you can attache your schedule of charges, don't have to wait for transfer to your local court, court staff will check your N1 and you have the opportunity to ask any questions. Court staff are generally very helpful . The only real advantages to MCOL are convenience and you can follow progress of acknowledgement and defence on-line. But you can always phone the court to find out the current position

Onto completing N1 form ready for the 23.11.06. Probably need some help on this guys, seen the template in the library but doesn't give details on brief description of claim. Also my parents can't remember when account was opened but suppose that could be a simple phone call.

Yes, if you're now at the stage of filing your claim you do use page two of your schedule and claim the 8% interest pursuant to section 69 County Courts Act 1984.

Ok guys just a little advice on the claim.

 

On the N1 form, page two poc, the amount I enter for charges is for charges only no interest?

(5. Accordingly the Claimant claims:

a) the return of the amounts debited in respect of charges in the sum of £2280.00 and any interest charged thereon) and on page one amount of claim is total charges (2280) plus interest (541.18) but not the 8%.

 

Cheers for replies, sorry if I appear a bit dense but obviously want to get it right.

 

On another note will be popping down to local court for tour today and to arrange to sit in on small claims proceeding just to get a feel for things if it goes all the way.

If you're at the stage of filing your claim then this is the point where you can now claim the 8% so should be included in you poc.

 

Take a look at the template for filling out N1 Form.
