    • the scrappage scheme is nothing to do with the agreement ...sorry. it's an enticement to purchase a replacement vehicle. just the same as shop signs that say 50% off or whatever.  its a done and dusted deal done before you enter into the agreement for the remaining £sum. 
    • don't get too hung up on the real meaning of 'fake' in terms of the documents a claimant might produce relating to a potential court claim. by fake we typically mean, they are not obviously the 'real McCoy' ,100% associated with whatever credit they are trying to pin on punters. they are often of the right 'version' that an OC would have used for that particular take out date, but with details inserted in a diff font where they should be for say your name address DOB etc. All DCA's typically  have filing cabinets covering each year for most creditor, whip 'em out, scan and copy n paste your details onto them, even easier now with online sign ups. no hard copies ever sent cause 90% of mugs have lost them..... one of our most powerful tools is the fact any docs they produce, unless they state they are 'a reconstruction'  MUST come from the original creditor noty some hidden pile the claimants have. Link are absolute masters at this so dont stick to lowell threads. dx    
    • Driving home last night I contacted wing mirrors with a car coming the opposite way. The wing mirror folded in and the glass popped out. Very minor damage.  I stopped at the next layby (A road) to repair the mirror. A passerby stopped and said they saw the other car stopped behind me in another layby - they went back and passed over details so we could get in touch.  The conversation started cordially, but quickly got heated when I said I was well on my side and they drifted over (which is what happened).  I wasn't going to bother filing a claim as there isn't enough damage to justify it. So I've said to the other party lets just call it quits as there are no witnesses and we both think we are innocent.   they said they are contacting the police and insurance and that they have witnesses. But a quick facebook search found a post by the other person saying they were in a crash, and were 'spun' off the road. Picture of a broken wing mirror and a slight scuff on the front and rear wheel arch. they are asking for witnesses. I have screenshots of the post, and sent them another message saying I can see you dont have witnesses as you are appealing for them. I'd really not drag this out. Lets call it quits and move on. this was followed by a couple of messages that didn't really make much sense. e.g. 'do the right thing'. What should I do now?  Contact police?  Contact my insurance? - Can I tell them about this incident but say I dont want to claim? Will that affect my premium?  
    • This is the crux of the argument. The scrappage contribution should have also been counted as a deposit. It was literally a part exchange in return for a cash deduction so there is no reason it wouldn't be treated the same way.  I did not request a VT, I was struggling to pay after a separation from my partner at the time. However had the figures been reflected correctly, the VT cost would have been 2k not 9k and I may have considered it as an option. Instead, the car was marked stolen and removed from my possession by the police
    • LOL - old one the fiver theory - although with the poops its take a fiver now, promise 10p  sometime in the future while claiming the reverse theory   So when is jenrick, an apparent slam dunk as referenced higher in the thread, being referred to the police? These poops need to know that anything they throw will be returned .. with interest

    • 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! i wrote a long letter to HSBC explaining my situation and asking for considering to remove my charges or give me an overdraft facility so i would be able to be in black (I'm still paying off one misuse of my account with different bank that happened 8 years ago - and i've been "good" since, i don't have any credit cards or loans). they sent me response "NO". i've decided to use your template letter to claim for last 6 month but because i manage my account paper free, i've asked them on three separate occasions to provide me with a total of my charges and interest for last 6 month (the first request was on the 17th ! of August). Instead i've received today letter not giving me the total i've requested but conformation that they are not going to refund me any money - quoting clause 7.11 in section 2 and told me to complain to Financial Ombudsman Services.

I've used your template to claim - step 1 - and instead of the total i insisted again on providing me the total for last 6 months and demanded refund of that (unknown to me amount).

I've also ask for a paper statements for last 6 months to be send to me by post.

Do you think there is a chance of wining with them!??

Best advice is to follow the step-by-step guide in the FAQs, and start by making a written request for all your notes and transaction history. Do not limit this request to six years, ask for it all. They will probably respond that they only have six years, and will send this anyway.

 

Next step is the preliminary request, asking for it all back. Last bit of advice - ignore anything they say to you unless it is a serious offer to settle your claim. It is your claim, and your timetable - they will prevaricate and try to put obstacles in your way. Don't let them. Good luck.

Thanks for your advice, i'll do that. have you meant 6 years or 6 months? i've requested 6 months - do you think i should go back? i've been with them for about 14 years.

Thanks again, your respond lifted my spirits a bit.

best regards Anna

Ask for EVERYTHING they hold on you - a Full Disclosure Subject Access Request. This includes notes, transaction histories, evidence of manual intervention - the lot. By law they are obliged to provide everything they hold on you that is relevant to you (so they may not give details about a joint account for example...)

 

They will tell you, for certain, that all details older than six years will have been destroyed. Clearly this destruction is a processing of your data, and as such they should provide evidence and notes of this also.

 

The reality is that you will get six years worth of statements, little to no notes, and not much else. Don't forget to include the statutory maximum £10 administration fee with your request.

Hi! i just thought i start new tread to keep all updates of my fight easier to follow.

1. i've wrote a pleading (pre consumeractiongroup forum) letter begging for some sort of understanding, help etc.- I'm finishing my PhD, worked all my life but due to bad credit history (from 7 years ago! - one still outstanding debt, I'm paying off regularly - only £200 left) no chance for a credit, or overdraft and additional charges that i got - because i had to go abroad for the funeral simply buried me. All i got was another kick below the belt.

2. EUREKA! discovery of consumeractiongroup forum. requested total of charges for last 6 month (i thought it was 6 months not years!) and after 2 weeks of waiting and additional 2 request i got a letter quoting Close7.11 section 2

3. Got excellent advice from Phoenix and requested a Full Disclosure Subject Access and send template letter asking for the repayment under s.7 and 13 of the Data Protection Act 1998 plus my costs.

 

 

how long they are allowed to take to produce Full Disclosure Subject Access?

wish me luck. since i've started, i feel they are really on my case but i'm not going to give up. i was trying to be friendly and open and all i wanted was to be understending in time of my diffficulties and it got me nowhere !

 

all the best to everyone and thanks for all the help and moral support

I got a full refund after the LBA - they initially offered me 90% of my claim, but when I refused it they offered me the full 100% back so I didn't even have to do the MCOL. Am now claiming for the joint account so that may be a different story!

They dragged their heels on everything for me. No responses at all for any letters. Went to court and they defended which gave them even more time and then issued a defence at the same time as offering full refund.

I started my claim end of June and it has just been finalised now. Think it is luck of the draw to be honest.

Hi Sarah,

 

What was the basis of their defence ? :)

 

I've just submitted my Prelim, LBA waiting to go for £3,200+ getting more paranoid by the day that I'll be the 'first one' who ends up on the front page of the Sun and a slot on Richard and Judy show !!!! :eek:

 

Good luck, Steve x

Hi Steve

Here is the letter they sent me:

It lists 3 points:

1. The claimants accounts are governed by the defendants personal and / or business banking terms and conditions.

2. Pursuant to the defendants terms and conditions the defendant is entitled to make a charge for its services as set out in the defendants price list.

3. It is denied that the fees charged for the services provided amount to a penalty or (if it alleged) a liquidated damages clause. It is denied the fees are an unfair contract term. The fees are an agreed price for a service provided by the claimant.

Hope this makes sense to you cos it doesnt to me! Lol.

Hi Sarah,

Looks like they are trying to delay - couple of thoughts !

 

The claimants accounts are governed by the defendants personal and / or business banking terms and conditions.As long as they are lawful !

2. Pursuant to the defendants terms and conditions the defendant is entitled to make a charge for its services as set out in the defendants price list.Yes as long as it is deemed fair and reasonible given the actual cost(s) incurred by the defendant

3. It is denied that the fees charged for the services provided amount to a penalty or (if it alleged) a liquidated damages clause. It is denied the fees are an unfair contract term. The fees are an agreed price for a service provided by the claimant.Oh NO there not agreed, when did the claimant 'agree' these, also how can it be anything other than a 'penalty' as it is in excess of the actual costs incurred for administering the account.

These are only my thoughts obviously, but based on all the blurb I have gleaned from in here I am confident that they are sound 'thoughts'

Good luck, don't give up, don't be swayed or feel intimidated by the bank, there is stacks of info in here
