    • In my experience (not with car payments) but with many other things, my partner has been ill and signed off in the past and we have been unable to meet various commitments.  Naturally if you ring the call centre they are going to fob you off and tell you you must pay, that's why that never ever works. I would obtain a note from her GP listing all her health issues plus medications plus side effects, then write to the finance company with a copy of it, explaining the situation, as you have here, asking for a payment holiday. Perhaps mention that the car is very much needed for hospital appointments etc. It's likely the finance company would rather you pay till term end than, chase you for money they will never see, and sell the car at auction for a loss,  You can search some of my threads going back years, advising people to do this for Council Tax, Tax Credits, HMRC, Even a solicitors company and it always works, because contrary to popular belief people are reasonable.
    • Sorry, I haven't ever seen one of these agreements. Read it all and look out for anything that says when she can withdraw and when she is committed to go ahead. If it isn't clear she may need to call the housing provider and simply say what you posted here, she doesn't want to go ahead and how does she withdraw her swap application?
    • Thank you! Your head is like a power bank of knowledge.  Her health issues are short term, due to a relationship breakdown she took it pretty hard and has been signed off work on medication for 3 months. She only started her job in February 24 so does not qualify for any occupational sick benefits, which is where the ssp only comes in. (You will see me posting a few things over the coming days, whilst I try and sort some things for her)  I sat with her last night relaying all this back and she does want to work out a plan, she was ready to propose £100 for the next 3 months and then an additional £70 per month onto of her contractual to "catch up" but Money247 rejecting the payment holiday and demanding £200 thew her, which is why I came on here.   
    • I've looked at your case specifically more.   Term 8bii reads " when, in accordance with instructions from the Customer or the Consignee, the Consignment is left in a safe place" Their terms choose to not define safe, so they are put to proof that the location is safe. If your property opens onto a street its a simple thing of putting a google earth image and pointing out that its not a safe place

    • 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.

Hi just want some advice for my second letter to NatWest.

 

On 18-08-06 I sent the prelim letter in the libary. Amount claimed was £76. No schedule of charges needed as I have every statement for last 3 years and thats as long as I've been with them. Got letter back today 25-09-06. Seems pretty standard apart from one bit, the bit in bold. irst I'll type the letter up so you can see for yourselves

 

thank you for your letter of 18th august 2006 and I apologise for any dissatifaction caused by the application of charges to your account.

 

we believe that our charges are fair, reasonable and transparent. we consider that the amounts debited to your account have been applied with your agreement with us and our published tarrif, which we are satisfied complies with all applicable laws and regulations. we are also committed to ensuring the transparency of the information that we give our customers about the operation of our products

 

We have considered and responded to the OFT's statement of 5th april 06. We do not accept the OFT's findings in relation credit card fees. We are concerned that the OFT has publicaly called into question the setting of charges applied to other other products including current accounts. The OFT has restricted its investigation to credit cards and made no attempt to consult with RBS or the industry in relation to other entirely different products.

 

Consequently against that background we must differ with the views expressed in your letter. Despite this we have taken the opportunity to review the charges that have been applied to your account and as a exceptional matter we have agreed to refund you £76 as a gesture of good will. (1)Acceptance by you of this payment will be in full and final settlement of all claims you may have relating to our charges. how ever our T&C's will continue to apply and any charges that accure in the future must stand. if you agree to accept our offer on this basis, please sign and return this in the enclosed prepaid envelope. once returned arrangements will be made immediately to credit you account

 

how ever our T&C's will continue to apply and any charges in the future must stand. thank you again for taking the trouble to write and i hope that your concern is resolved to your satisfaction

 

Branch manager

 

 

(1) They offer me my money in full as long as I sign my rights away. LMAO yeah right. Do I send the second letter back, or does it need a alteration to request no terms attacted to settlment? Also I forgot to claim for 2 other charges as I wrote the letter at some untimely hour in the morning and just forgot to list all the charges duh. So I would like to finish this one off and go for the other 2 after.

 

I did ask for a £50 over draft 2 months ago. I got refused because they couldn't offer me a current account and step accounts don't offer any credit products. Now I wouldn't of had a unpaid DD problem if I had this service. I would like to try and use this situation as a leverage point in getting an overdraft for £100 to avoid furter situations.

 

To sum up I would like to ask if the stand second letter is the one to send back or does it need to be altered? and secondly anyone word part of the letter to ask for an overdraft stating I've already asked for one and if i had one it could stop any further problems.

 

Thanks for your help, Simon

Guest NATTIE

If you have been offered a full settlement then you accept althought you also have to write back and state that this is a full settlement on the claim but you do not accept any other terms of the offer, re confidentiality, re your right to claim charges in the furture etc, etc, Then go for the other charges.

Hi Simon.

 

In full agreement with Natweststaffmember.

 

Accept the offer but NOT the conditions. After all, how can they impose conditions on the return of your own money which they took from you unlawfully?

Bloody cheeky NatWest staff. Not only are they breaking the law by making these charges, they showed a complete disregard for the data protection act!

 

My girlfriend went into my branch and the Manager (of all people!) entered my Acc number and upon seeing my name I presume asked "are you mr Herrings partner" my partner replied "yes". The manager then went on to ask do you know whats going on in regards for his claim against the bank charges" WTF?? "as I replied to his original letter and his second letter has been passed on to customer relations" My gf just said "no I haven't a clue"

 

Now is NatWest treading a fine line here? Anyone want to give me a rough outline of a letter to send to them regarding this incident? Any money in this for me? ;)

 

All answers on a postcard to

 

Natwest are a bunch of unprofessional @@@@@

I think you are getting too angry with this because the manager was being nosey and not malicious. After the first letter sent back from the branch, the case may well have escalated on to Customer Relations Unit and they have a separate notes system to branch. We have no idea on the outcome of cases where we write to the customer. My first reaction would have been yours.

 

Feel free to complain but maybe better that when you win you write to the manager and tell him that you did win.

 

Has he disclosed any information to your GF? Did she know you were claiming before the visit? What information has he disclosed of your account?

I got this letter back this morning off Natwest saying .......

 

Thank you for your further letter of 2nd September 2006.

 

I regret that there is little that I can add constructively to my last letter and note your proposed action. I have alerted our lawyers and litigation department accordingly. May I please remind you that the address to use when initiating legal documents is that of our registered office below

 

Little he can add constructively??? How about answering my question for a breakdown of the charges?

 

Does that mean I can go ahead with court action now or do I have to wait the full 14 days?

I think you nedd to go ahead with your legal action now. Don't forget to add on the cost of the action when they come back to settle properly.

Robertxc v. Abbey - £3300 Settled in full

Robertxc v. Clydesdale - £750 Settled in full

Nationwide v. Robertxc - £2000 overdraft wiped out, Default removed by order of the sheriff

Robertxc v. Style Card - Default removed by order of the sheriff

Robertxc v. Abbey (1) - Data Protection Act action. £750 compensation

Robertxc v. Abbey (2) - Data Protection Act action. £2000 compensation, default removed
