    • Thanks very much Bank. I have topped and tailed my LOC and printed off a copy which I shall post tomorrow by First Class post at my local post office and also obtain a proof of postage. I'll also email them a copy. I've opened a MoneyClaim account, and shall now begin work on my draft Particulars of Claim which I shall post here for your thoughts. And I shan't be using the Moderation service.
    • Yes, it struck me this morning that I'd got it wrong    - no involvement of UKPPO in any previous Tesco thread    - there would have been an entrance sign to a Tesco car park    - CCTV isn't something associated with Tesco car parks. Presumably whoever runs the car park has put CCTV at the electric, and probably BB, areas, done absolutely nothing to stop abuse, and then rubs their hands in glee every time the CCTV catches a motorist out. You can pay £60 and this will go away. Or you can defy UKPPO and rely on their non-respect of POFA, consideration period, etc., should they be daft enough to do court later down the line.  We would support you all the way.
    • thats not the way to do it sorry. sorry so what is your problem? that vanquis paid the £560 or that they are now chasing it? how old is this debt? dx  
    • If you visited Qatar you could be detained at the border, if the debt has been notified.  If you are only in transit and do not seek to cross border into Qatar you might be ok, but you may want to seek formal advice about this.
    • Howdy, I had a short lived credit card with Vanquis that I did not need. I paid it off in full and called them and closed it with the person at the other end. 2 months later they started sending me messages about late payments, I called them and to find out that the card had not been closed in error and 6 weeks after it should have been closed they paid a google debit of £560. I hit the roof and made a formal complaint that took them well over a month to respond to. They agreed they were at fault, refunded all late payments fees and offered me £100 in compensation. However they said the debit amount stood as 'I had benefit from it' and I should get a refund from google. I hit the roof again but they have stuck to their guns. The debit from google is a genuine one but I wanted to dispute it with google so closed the card so they would have to engage with me. But surely that's neither here nor there surely? What is the next step? Ombudsman takes forever doesn't it?  thanks in advance

    • 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.

Hey,

 

Last week my card got stuck in a post office atm, the atm software crashed resulting in seeing windows 2000 desktop, the machine didnt give me the cash or card back. I didnt think much of it (my mistake) thought id be able to sort it out in the branch the following morning. Upon queuing and subsequently finding my account was overdrawn I got a list of cash withdrawals and card transactions totaling £731 that happened the same day after the card got stuck. I returned to the post office and asked if she would be able to open the ATM and see if my card was in it, it wasnt (she agreed but said if it was in the machine she would not be able to give it back to me which was fine). While in the branch I cancelled the card and reported all of the fraudulent transactions. I registered my case with Santanders financial crime operations team. Im confused as to how they managed to get my pin number..? can anyone help?

 

They have said due to the criminals having my card and pin number, in these circumstances they are not able to take responsibility for the loss.

 

Any advice will be greatly received!

 

Regards

Zander Cul

If you have not done so already, go to the police and report it as a crime and get a Crime Reference Number.

 

Contact Santander and tell them that you have notified the Police and give them your Crime Number. They will then take you seriously.

 

The Police should contact them and inspect your accounts and their records on approving any of the transactions.

 

Santander will probably pay the money back into your account whilst the investigation is on-going.

 

Good Luck.

Beware of Santander and card fraud. My card was cloned but the bank will not accept this. It was used in London 3 times in a short time whilst I was in the North of England where I live. The account was checked twice and then money withdrawn at a different site a few minutes later. As the card number was correct and also the PIN they say I have given my card and number to someone. I have not done this and would never do this. The card has been permanently cancelled by me and the account will now be closed.

Hello BeeR ,

Welcome to CAG, are Santander expecting you continue with payments on the card

Thanks for your reply. It was a cashpoint card so presumably they expect me to deposit lots of money so anyone else can take it out. Another bank is getting my money now. I have logged the fraud with the crime cente managment via the police. I think people need to be very carelul as it is not a simple matter of applying for and getting your money back. (Some banks etc. however have responded well to such frauds recently.) No ATM can be seen to be secure no matter how careful you are. Also the Bank has mispelt my name and address (twice). Makes me feel very valued as a customer. I think my Santander shares will be sold soon!

Hey

Santander have not been helpful to me either - I know your post was a long time ago but feel I had to respond to it as my problem is very current. I have always had my personal cash card on me never left it anywhere. Since Feb this year I have had substantial amounts of money be taken from ATMs locally. I requested statements and never received them and still havent since Feb this year...

 

I recently requested an online account so i can check all the transactions and low and behold there over 20 transactions using cash machines that i do not recognise. Having contacted Santander fraud department, they looked into it and then told me nothjing they could do because if it was fraud, the fraudsters would have wuiped my account clean and not withdrawn bits here and there. On a couple of the transactions - I have alibi's. But, because they checked my details and have seen that my card has not been cloned - how can they possibly tell this - the person taking the money has my card and my pin number to do so....

 

I am entitled to none of my money back and they are taking it no further.

 

Anyone have any thought or help?

Dear Klock

Thank you for your email. I am sorry you too have been a victim. Although Santander knocked me back I logged the crime with the local police. They said if it was not resolved it would formally be made a crime but if resolved it would be dismissed. Thankfully Santander took notice of my crime number and suddenly admitted my card had been used at a rigged machine in London the year before. Prior to this I was guilty in their opinion. It was a long time before I noticed the withdrawals had happened so I lost more money than I originally thought .This was due to my own fault as I should ahve been more vigilant. Santander have no right to say they would have taken all the money out of your account. It happend to me on 4 occasions . They took small amounts each time and then as more money went in they took another amount out. This happend in London, Newark and 2 other places. I know it sounds stupid but my main bank was Halifax and I only used Santander for dividends from Santander. I got statements 4 times a year and did not take any notice of them. I know better now than to trust any bank. Once I got some money back from Santander I closed the account. The cashier told me that the machine inside the bank had been tampered with! I change my password frequenly now and try not to use cash machines. Money back at the supermarket is the best option. I will not be banking with Santander in future. Final message to anyone reading this. If you have not yet had your card cloned, believe me it will happen.

God luck.

Hey,

 

. I didnt think much of it (my mistake) thought id be able to sort it out in the branch the following morning.

 

As you were no longer in possesion of the card, Santander might feel you shouldve contacted them and cancelled the card.... you didnt for at least 24hours, so i can understand why they might be refusing...

 

Fraudsters have come up with all tricks to steal your pin number, and possibly they might have been able to get machine to boot up, thu you walking away....

 

I would ask the police if they are aware of any fraudulent activity on this cash machine, thn re contact Santander.

 

Also it was a cashcard not a debit card..... so why did Santander let it go overdrawn?
