    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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.

latest update - had a letter today and Halifax are refusing to refund the compund interest on the acct, they have also said that they are unable to tell me how the interest (£2.30) has been calculated on the acct, the offer made at £320.00 is f/f and have basically told me to bog off and go speak to the FOS, because as far as they are concerned they have acted in accordance with the guidelines set out by the FOS.

 

Any suggestions anyone!!!

Hello FDAO

 

Long time since we last spoke.

 

Yes, they really are making life hell for you, well, I think I will need to read through your story from the begining in order to remind myself what has happened, I will try and do that over the next couple of days.

 

In the meantime, try not to let them get the better of you, very easy to say, I know, but do try and not worry about these bas**** robots.

 

Kind Regards

try not to get too steamed up here if you can.

They aint gonna play ball with you on the amounts you are demanding, did they say they would payback ALL the PPI they took?

If not, then that is a clear dispute and you are perfectly entitled to with hold any payments until they sort this out.

It may well be that they then threaten court, which IMHO would not be a bad thing, because, youre not disputing the accounts, but youd counterclaim the full amount, they are being unreasonable about the amount.

So as i see it, you have 2 choices, either put the account in dispute and stop paying them.

Or write a letter before action to claim back all the money they owe you.

Well FDAO

 

They will not start proceedings against you because you are maintaining payments under the arrangement.

 

I have not re-read from the begining as yet, why are they not willing to repay that £300?

 

Please remind me, is this Halifax or Bank of Scotland?

 

Kind Regards

i'd be careful on that.

i think the OFT/FOS are down on record as stating they do not consider it the same as a un-en/no CCA dispute where you can with hold payment.

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Sorry if you think I am a pain for asking you this, but could you just brief me on the events, you know, bring me up to date, in a nut shell, because it will take me a while to read through all of your thread and I need to reply to a few other caggers also.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi The Mould

 

In a nutshell I took the brill advice from DX and complained about PPI Halifax wrote back and confirmed that I am entitled to it back, during all of this i have maintained the payment plan, although Blair Oliver are trying to squeeze me for more and more (double the payments in fact) I did my calcs and worked out what was owed and wrote off to them to tell them what I consider to be owed. They wrote back and agreed with the PPi but not the interest which is £300, they have instead stated that they are only willing to pay £2.30! if not happy with that then I am to refer the matter to FOS! I am still waiting for rest of info from SAR, I have written back giving them the rest of the time approx 19 days and they are still late so I need to contact them to tell them that they have not complied.

 

Not sure where else to go from there really, if I want my charges back then I have to start court proceedings against them, just want an end to this now.

 

Still its euro lottery tomorrow E120m, gotta be in it to win it!

dx, I take on board fully your comment.....do you think its worth a letter to FOS as a meadly £230 does not begin to cover the compound interest that I am owed here?

I must fully endorse Bazaars approach above.No way will they want to go to Court over a PPI matter.You have admittance and an offer.You have admittance on the interest if they are offering £2.30 or is it £230.00? either way its an admittance.They are calling your bluff now.

I personally would accept the PPI content but not as full and final and then instigate a claim on the interest.You have all the ammunition you need.

Hi Andy, it is £2.30 they have offered me and not £300 which is what they owe.

 

They have told me that the amount will be paid by the redress team and have said that they are unable to tell me how the interest refund has been calculated! Just a joke really.

 

What would you recommend I do, as they are directing me to the FOS, looks like they dont want to enter into any correspondence with me now, and I bet I will have Blair oliver and Scott chasing me to increase my payments again before I know it and probably threatening me with court action if I refuse.

Hello again FDAO

 

Yes, you could accept their offer, but make it unequivocally clear, that you do not accept in Full and Final Settlement of your claim and unless they pay the full amount that [is] legally owed, you will pursue them for the full amount in the County Court.

 

Reject their offer BEFORE YOU BANK THE PAYMENT.

 

Read up on Practice Direction - Pre-Action Conduct and follow the stated procedures if you have to issue a Letter Before Claim in order to achieve the required result/closure.

 

As far as increasing your payments, do not, and communicate that to B, O & S Ltd, state to them that if they were to commence with proceedings against you, it will be considered as vexatious and an abuse of process by the Courts, as you are maintaining the agreed payment arrangements.

 

Kind Regards

By the way FDAO

 

Forget the Regulators, all of the Regulators are a load of bollo*ks, in my opinion, based on my experience with them.

 

Yes your SAR will need to be complained about to the ICO, but don't hold your breath.

 

Kind Regards

the stuff that is missing from the sar are items such as the default notices and any correspondence relating to letters from bos.

 

if iyho i am wasting my time do I do nothing? and they are not refunding me direct as the acct is in default the money is refunded back to the acct. i dont see a penny.

Hold on a minuet, that PPI is to be paid direct to you and not into the account.

 

OK, your SAR, they have not complied by not providing you with a copy of all of your personal subject data, you can complain FDAO to the ICO and they will investigate your complaint, maybe a good idea just to give them a head ache for a change, it will take the ICO a while.

 

That PPI, you want a cheque payment.

 

Kind Regards

I have asked for the money and they have told me that as the acct is in default it is only being refuded into the acct, so I wont see it, the upside is that it comes off the balance so it comes down quicker downside is that it could be spent elsewhere, but want this sorted asap.

 

I will write to ico and see what they have to say, make a change for me to complain about them!
