    • DN is ok DCA NOA is ok, though not one from Newday saying they've sold it. agreement states esigned on a sunday at 11am?? really??  but no typed names or tick box nor any IP address used. if the date is correct then poss ok, it that your correct address for that time of take out? but if not, then that could simply be a copy of someone elses they've used with you details copy'n'pasted over theirs. the agreement details separate T&C's in at least 8.4. a full set of T&C containing your correct address for the time MUST be included. failure renders the agreement unenforceable... have you the T&C's too? dx
    • Npower and Scottish Power and others have always had regulations that require them to treat customers fairly - the threads here and my experiences demonstrate that those regs are little more than useless.   Even Octopus recently spent month after month saying they needed to increase my monthly payments despite my credit balance slowly going up TWICE I had to reset it online back to prior payment as they unilaterally increased it unilaterally. Raised formal complaint and they than said i was paying too much and reduced the payment, again without my agreement, although that time at least they told me they were doing it.   .. and Octopus has been one of the better ones.    
    • Thank you. You left all your personal details showing on the invoice, but I've removed them. From Googling it seems the free parking is limited to one hour.  You stayed two.  There is no point appealing, you did overstay.  That's apart from the fact the private parking companies are just interested in £££££ and never accept appeals. We have other Iceland cases, Iceland as a company refuse to have these invoices cancelled. So it's up to you. Pay £51 and the matter goes away. Or refuse to pay.  Horizon very rarely do court.  We would support you all the way.

    • 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.

You would of thought that at least one bank would have tested the water.

 

Not likely when they know they'd lose.

I beleive it was someone before this site had the step by step guides and support and it was on a technicality of some sort. I think the info is in the thread - Courts still ordering stays

If for some reason someone has been to court and lost for not following the correct proceedures would they be able to resubmit their claim to the bank/ courts or would that be the end of the matter?

I'm not sure but I beleive in criminal law you can only be tried for something once - so assume that applies. Otherwise every time someone lost a case they would just be re submitting it. Don't know about appeals in the county court either.

Someone lost vs Natwest, but it was ages ago now and Natwest have (to my knowledge) paid up every claim since. There were technicalities involved I think and the claimant in question was represented by a solicitor. Details have been linked before by BF, but I can't find the thread at the mo.

5 figure is rather a lot usually county courts limit is 5 grand (i think ) you might be better off to do it in yearly amounts it'll probally take a bit of time but it'll be worth it in the end

 

Thats not the case at all, there is no limit to the amount you can claim at the county court. The small claims track ceiling is set at 5k, claims above that go into the fast track or the multi - track. This has some dis-advantages, but also some advantages too.

 

Margosweeney - you need to do some research and take in all the information on this site and you'll feel more sure of yourself. You WILL get your money back, but you MUST know what you are doing first. Start off with the FAQ's and the step by step instructions.

That is why the banks always string it out because they hope you'll pull out due to nerves..... i'm sure the 130 people who have won had those same feelings at some stage, stay with it and just think of all the lovely shopping you'll be able to do when you get your money back.

Hi Team.

 

Margosweeney,don't be frightened by this.All the help you need is here.You will get letters trying to put you off claiming.Scare tactics to make you back down.I personally have'nt had any problems chatting or writing to bank staff.You get the standard 'Go Away ' letter,but you must claim what is rightfully yours.We have all been duped into paying excessive charges for years by the banks.They knew that the charges were Unlawful.Now that they have been caught with their hands in our accounts,we want it back.People have lost homes and families through bad banking practices.They have'nt appeared in court yet as full disclosure of their true costs would have to be presented.It's like the Coca Cola formula.Well hidden from everybody.The true cost is pence,all done by a computer.Your amongst friends here.But you will need to be prepared if it does go to court.Probably won't but could happen.Everything you need for that is here also.If the calim is too much for small claims,you may be able to split it.Let us know the details when you know yourself.Someone here can help.

 

Hope this helps

they will not go into court to defend because they would have to disclose exactly how much it cost's them to to refuse a d/d, s/o ect ect,

because by law they are only allowed to recover their ACTUAL COST'S

then the flood gate's would realy open for claim's

Hi Makepeaces

You should really start up a thread of your own, and then we can answer any questions on it.

Good luck with your claim.
