    • @jk2054 retailer said they'd speak to dpd on Tuesday. I don't want to screw the retailer because they were doing me a favour by fixing it for free so I hope dpd will refund them so they don't lose out.   Will keep you guys posted. 
    • Well, we live on the same road so it should be the same postcode. When I spoke to dpd and asked why were my neighbours' address not on the list and she said maybe they're not of the same postcode and I checked and they definitely were. Not to mention, delivery instructions are supposed to override actual customer's address which is why they asked for instructions I thought.
    • again a quick google search states Appeal a DVLA fine - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) i would not be appealing mind. it's only a summary charge which they rarely do court on and pass out the powerless DCA's whom are not bailiffs they have 6mts. see where they go. as you've sorn'd it will probably be nulled. dx  
    • There are a number of reasons why you may not have been issued a notice in the post within 14 days. If you were stopped by the police it may have been given verbally. In the case of speeding offences, the police may issue you with a conditional offer of a fixed penalty of 3 points and £100.00 fine by post or an offer of a speed awareness course. If the offence is considered too serious for a speed awareness course or fixed penalty you may be charged with an offence which normally occurs by way of the issue of a Single Justice Procedure Notice. If the vehicle within which the alleged offence took place was registered to another person or company there is technically no need for a notice to be issued to the driver. After the police have obtained details of the nominated the driver, they will normally send the notice to them, although there are no time limits within which they must do so (provided that the notice was received within 14 days by the registered keeper of the vehicle). In such circumstances, a person may receive a notice several months after the alleged offence too place but still be prosecuted. A Guide to a Notice of Intended Prosecution | Motoring Offence Lawyers the above copy n paste link has purely been copy n pasted here to inform you of the regs, which you could have done yourself by, as this is, a google search......... we do not ever recommend using such offered webservices! dont dx

    • 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.

well, I received my statements no problem after sending them £10. I then sent of teh initial letter to them asking for my charges etc plus interest back. They then sent me the usual letter they have sent everyone else who are attempting claiming back their money, so now I am in the process of sending the LBA. Confusing this one, I have it on my desk top ready to fill in, but I have no idea how to calculate the interest incurred because of the charges - help anyone? I hate anything like this, as I am not up on stuff and it ususally takes a while for some things to sink in - but I am not giving it up! They owe me my money!!! Can anyone help and instruct me S L O W L Y what I am supposed to do LOL.

 

I'm still impressed with PJ Dudley!

lol thanks Patricia. As far as interest mentioned in the LBA letter is concerned, basically it's any debit interest that has been incurred on your account because of the charges. It is very difficult to work out exactly how much of the interest relates to charges, and what is just general o/d interest. Depending on how much the debit interest amounts to, it might not be worth bothering with - it was £20 max on my claim. If you decide against claiming the debit interest, just delete that part from the letter.

 

Hope this helps :D

There are spreadsheet templates in the forums library and you can use these to calculate the overdraft interest. I think it is the advanced version you need, but it is quite easy to use so don't worry about it. There is help in the General forum if you need it.

Thanks guys! I'm understanding things better each time a look in the forum. But, can you confirm these terms are the correct ones I am asking fro refunds on. Just trawled through all my statements and teh amount comes to £844 over 6 years! Not inc interest. The amounts I have calculated have these terms adjacent to them: UnauthO/D fee. Unpaid Chq Chg. Charges to DR A/C on.. Unpaid D/D charge. - Am I right in thinking that all of these terms are relevant to my claim?

If so, I will proceed to enter the amounts on a spread sheet, and enclose with the LBA...Correct? Incidentally, was getting a bit angry when I was totting teh amounts Up and saw how much they'd taken off me - that's just about the same amount of my overdraft with them at the mo!

 

..also, the letter tehy sent back to me a couple of weeks ago lists all kinds of reasons why they were right to deduct, the leter starts: "during this time the relationship between you and the bank was governed by the bank's standard terms and conditions" and they enclosed a leaflet on how "addressing Your Complaint" did anyone else get this?

PJDudley...you're my hero! Thanks again.

You need to do a preliminary request for payment before proceeding to the LBA.
