    • There's a thread somewhere about someone sending the baillifs against Wizzair that is quite hilarious. I would love to see someone do the same to Ryanair. Question is, should you be the one to take that role. You are entitled to the £220, if your flight was from the UK. If it was TO the UK I suppose it is more of a grey area... though the airlines I know have been using £220 as standard. Not that surprising for Ryanair, the worst cheapskates in the universe, to go for the lower amount, and if you forward this to the CEO he will probably have a jolly good laugh and give his accountants a verbal bonus. After all he's the one who said and I paraphrase "F*** our customers, they'll fly with us again anyway". While we would all love to see Ryanair get wooped in court again, I have to join my fellow posters in thinking it's not worth the hassle for (hypothetically) £7 and not sure it will expedite the payment either. It's already an achievement that you got them to accept to pay.

    • 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.

hello!

 

i'm so new to all of this and am starting to read my way through all the necessary bits of information in order to try and get my head around everything i need to know. i've managed to work out so far, that since november 2005 i have paid a grand total of £1387 in charges, most of which are because i have gone over drawn, even though i've never had an agreed over draft.

 

HSBC have been charging me £125 a time for having done so. in some cases, i have gone over drawn by as much as £100 even though i didn't know i was doing so. does this therefore mean that their £125 charge is legal? i'm trying to figure out whether or not i can make a claim.

 

i've been with HSBC since the age of 12 (i'm now 22) and they've done nothing but mess me around. i'm now a struggling student, and tried desperatly to change my account to a student one, but was not allowed to, as i've accidentally gone over drawn one two many times (even though, as i previously said, i've never had an over draft) and this has given me a bad credit rating. i simply cannot afford to be paying such high charges, or any at all, i don't earn enough as it is!!

 

if anybody could let me know whether they think i might be able to go ahead with a claim, then please let me know, as i will obviously need to start looking on line for my statements over the past 6 years or so. this could take some time!

 

i was also wondering... is it necessary for me to calculate the amount of charges i have paid over six years, or may i simply be able to claim for one or two? i'm worried that i may go over £5000 and have to pay to take the matter to court?

 

 

thank you in advance, for taking the time to read this at least. i'm truly grateful. well done to all those that have been successful, you're an inspiration!

Hi again Cherry

 

Right here goes - you DONT have to make 2 seperate claims just because they are listed differently. Just add them all up over the 6 years and you have your total amount that you are claiming for. Make sure you check the link that I gave you to see which charges exactly you can claim back.

 

My claim was less than £5000, but as I understand it anything over £5k cannot go through the small claims court (can anyone confirm this?). My advice would be to go through your online statements and get your total first. If it exceeds £5000 then break your claim down into 2 seperate ones. Claim back the oldest charges first (upto £5000) then when that has been repaid to you, just start another one for the remainder. By doing this you will familiarise yourself with the process involved and hopefully be more confident about getting the 2nd amount back. However be warned that if you do take this option and make 2 seperate claims one after the other then the bank will probably close your account. Be prepared and have another bank account open with another bank just in case this happens.

 

Mine has taken 2 months to the day and I won by default last Tuesday but have still not had my money back - others have had their money back after their first letter. There is no consistency to the timescale so just stick with it.

 

Again there is loads of info on here so take a couple of hours to read a few cases and the FAQ's, but if you get stuck then just ask.

 

Good luck!!

 

Regards

 

Magic

aww thank you so much :)

 

i've started going through my on line statements, and have also printed off the data protection act 1998 subject access request to send off to, now i just need to find out who to make the £10 cheque payable to, presumably just HSBC?!

 

i'm hoping i don't have to make two claims, though it really depends on how much the owe me - i intend to get every penny back! should they close my account however, will this effect my credit rating in the future when applying for credit cards/a mortgage etc? this is what really worries me!

 

thanks again Magic, glad to hear you're getting some of your money back! even if you did have to wait two months!

I wouldn't bother with the Data Protection letter if you can get your statements online - I didn't. All you will receive are exact copies of the online versions wasting you a couple of weeks.

 

Just fire off the next letter in the process 'Preliminary approach for repayment' I think its called.

 

This will save you a couple of weeks messing about.

 

Regards

right, i've gone through all my statements and got a final figure, i haven't however, put all of this info in to a spreadsheet yet. when doing so, do i calculate the 8% interest too, or does that come at a later date? i'm also a little confused at how to go about this. can i whack an 8% interest fee on all of the money i want to claim back?

just use the template spreadsheet in the templates section.

 

the 8% comes later if you issue a summons (mcol)

 

have a read through the guides they are great, a full step by step, you cannot go wrong.

 

i would wish you good luck .... but you wont need it :)

i've tried opening the spreadsheet, but don't seem to be able to change any of thhe information. i'm thinking this might be because i'm using a mac? so am going to go and try to use it on my boyfriends computer tomorrow.

 

thank you for your help Andy, hopefully i won't have to go as far as the mcol, though most people seem to have to. i'm claiming under £2000, so i'm hoping they just let me have it. this is possibly a little too naieve!

i think they are getting flooded with claims, so many are going strait through to mcol wothout any response from them at all.

and dont forget if you do get to mcol then you will be able to claim for the 8% interest. so it is not all bad :)

If you are using a Mac, you can download a Mac compatible version of Open Office, for free, from here. Then download the Open Office version of the spreadsheet from here. If you need help with either, just PM me...

thank you for your help :) i'm totally hopeless when it comes to computers.... and looking after my finaces it would appear, given the amount of charges i've paid over the years!

hmmmm.... i tried your link already, but apparently i don't have an X11, though i have no idea what this is!? and so can not install the free version of office. i have previously installed a test drive of officce 2004, so am not allowed to do this again.

 

i shall have another go, see if i can sort something. thank you again for your help though, much appriciated :D
