    • Given the evidence you have provided it should hopefully be a formality, the WS is ready to go and their case is torpedoed below the waterline.
    • Hey sorry that I am a bit late to the party but to look into your issues, could you explain in a bit more detail what happened? I did not know that either before you mentioned it, but it seems indeed that Booking.com holidays are just a mirror site for lastminute.com and therefore the exact same thing... Good to know because Last minute is an awful OTA. It actually doesn't seem to be a big secret. If you click the link below (which is the main link from booking.com home page, and has lastminute written in it!) you will see the slogan "Booking.com Powered by Last minute" on 3 separate areas at least within the same page! Just a moment... BOOKING-DP.LASTMINUTE.COM Anyway, do let us know what exactly happened and we can try and see who you should be claiming from.
    • post re submitted  we are quite secure with that. it's ok to it here  you need to formerly WRITE to BMW AND to the finance co. (who is?) and REJECT the car under your short term right to reject. 100's of threads here on Big Motoring World, and they scammed you out of a useless warranty too, you dont need it ever, CRA covers you for FREE. dx  
    • Hey there, as the plane went tech you are entitled to the £520 x2 compensation under EC261. This is a clear cut case. Just claim straight with Virgin. However you are not entitled to a full refund, since you were eventually flown to the final destination; of course that second flight should have been totally free of charge; if not you must bill Virgin for it. Your mum+sis are also entitled to full reimbursment of taxis to and from the hotel, as well as meals+refreshments that they had for the entire duration of the unexpected stop, including both at the hotel and airport. (Just stay reasonable: no claiming for 49 pina coladas at the beach bar) Was their luggage returned to them during the unexpected stop? If not they may also claim for any toiletries and clothing that they had to purchase during the night stop. I understand the hotel has already been paid for, just don't forget the rest. Hopefully they have kept the receipts. Otherwise bank statements should do the trick. You need to claim for this in addition of the £1040 Other than the above there is no statutory compensation due for missing out on 1.5days of holiday. You could however talk to someone at customer service and make a polite request to extend your stay by another couple days and see if they will do it for you free of charge (providing they have space). Or if not, you could possibly get some token gesture of money back or voucher off your next holiday. It's worth trying. That you paid £700 for a name change is unfortunate but it's completely unrelated to the situation at hand. Above all I hope they don't worry too much about this mishap, and make the most of their holiday. Compensation is practically guaranteedwhen they are back. Just tell them to save all receipts they have and don't worry about the rest until they're back!

    • 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.

Hiya, I posted on here a while ago looking to make a claim, but I've since moved and haven't had the internet for aaages and didn't want to proceed without the help, support and advice of everyone on here. So I am now shortly going to start my claim.

 

However one thing concerns me, I have noticed that everyone who makes a claim and wins has their accounts closed down. I am in the process of setting up a parachute account as my main account, but I also have an ISA with nationwide, and was wondering if this will be closed down too?

 

The account I had problems with was closed down and I was given a new, cashcard account instead, which has been run immaculately since the day it was opened two years ago. I haven't been overdrawn once, in fact I've been no where near! I realise Nationwide will still want to close down my account but has anyone actually managed to stop them from doing so? And will my ISA be closed down too? I don't really want to bring all these problems up again with my parents, and if I end up having my ISA closed they won't be best pleased :(

 

Any advice from anyone?

 

Thanks,

 

P.

Hi phillipam and welcome back

 

I don't know the answer to your question about your ISA being closed but I'm pretty sure it is relatively easy to transfer an ISA to another bank. You just have to fill in a form with a new bank and they transfer the money without you losing the tax benefits of the ISA. So if nationwide do shut it down they will give you 28 days notice allowing you plenty of time to find an alternative.

 

Surely it's got to be worth it to reclaim all those charges?

 

Best of luck!

Be careful moving ISA's because, as I understand it (And I may be wrong!) you can only subscribe (pay into) one ISA in any tax year period. So, if you want o move it, your best doing it in time for April 6th 2007.

My charges claims:

un1boy vs egg *SETTLED* | Un1boy vs LTSB-SETTLED | un1boy vs Black Horse-SETTLED | Un1boy v Smile *WON* | un1boy v HSBC - SETTLED! | Un1boy's HSBC CC - SETTLED! | Un1boy vs Co-Op *SETTLED* |un1boy vs Co-Op CC *SETTLED*

 

Default removals:

NAtionwide is worth doing through your local court.

 

My particulars included the following...

 

c) a declaration from this honourable court that the term of the contract leading to the application of the charges is unenforceable;

d) A declaration that any term allowing the defendant to terminate banking services supplied to the claimant without cause is similarly unenforceable;

 

And they agreed in the order that they wouldn't close accounts...

 

That seems to be the trick - make it clear that you want your money back but you don't want to change banks and if they try to close as retaliation, you'll go back to court.

nice twist, wish I had that info when I went after NW.

 

However they have just stated that they are closing the account I am claiming on so my other accounts will be ok. I will then try to open a new flex account in a couple of months. Just for the fun of it nothing more.

If I have helped click my scales....

We have finally transferred all our banking arrangements to another bank- dd's, wages, standing orders etc - all before their 30 days notice - so tomorrow I'm going into the branch and I'M going to close the accounts ME - not them, ME. I'm also taking the money out of my sons savings account - the can sod off if they think they're keeping hold of him as a customer

wonder what would happen if you opened another flex account with them before they close down your account. My letter is closing the account with the charges on it, but what if (just for fun ) I opened a fresh flex account, just a basic account. One upmanship.

 

Do you think they would notice? a big cash cow like this? I like the idea of having a NW account for use on holiday (cirrus) as it is the cheapest way to get to your cash.

They may do - seeing as you claimed twice - ha ha - they most probably have a 'wanted' sign of you in every branch - do not approach this man and let him have banking facilities - we've just had to give him 10k back! :) :) :)

I've been thinking of loitering near their cash machines with flyers about CAG but then realised I'd look extremely dodgy and most probably get myself arrested :grin: :grin:

My money was refunded last week and today they have given me notice that they will be closing my account in 30 days.

 

They sent me a letter stating I had to pay my overdraft off -I don't have an overdraft and haven't had one for some time! It seems they set out now to deliberately aggrevate their customers.

 

Can they legally close accounts because customers have taken them to court and if so, would it be too late to take this up in court again?

 

I have asked them to send me a copy of their Terms and Conditions as the 'standard' letter I received stated that I had not operated my account properly by taking them to court.

 

It surprises me that a large organisation like Nationwide are throwing their toys out the pram!

Annoyed customer.

Biker Paul I wonder if I could beg a favour - would you to be able to give me the full details of your particulars of claim? I really don't want them to close my accounts but am struggling to fit everything in the particulars of claim as it is!

 

Hi

 

Sorry, I really can't, due to a confidentiality order.

 

What I can do is write you some particulars of claim.

 

PM me...
