    • I've not seen it personally but I think that's the letter Dad has had from Overdales. I'll see it tomorrow. It states balance: zero
    • Agreed as you clearly have little faith in your star runners, mind you - I have less - conditional on the welcher clause I defined being part, and that we are talking about the three defined candidates: Tice Farage and Anderson - not anyone anywhere as reform might (outside chance) get someone decent to run somewhere. If any of the three dont run - they count as a loss.   welcher clause. "If either of us loses and doesn't pay - we agree the site admin will change the welchers avatar permanently to a cows ass - specific cows ass avatar chosen by the winner - with veto by site on any too offensive - requiring another to be chosen  (or of course, DP likely allows you can delete your account and all your worthless posts to cheapskate chicken out and we'll just laugh) "
    • This is the full details, note they have made an error (1) in that paragraph 5 stated 14 days before hearing not 7. Surely a company of their size would proof read and shouldn't make basic errors like that 1) The Claimant respectfully applies for an extension of time to comply with paragraph 5 of the Order of Deputy District Judge XXX dated XX March 2024 i.e. the evidence upon which the parties intend to rely shall be filed and served not later than 7-days before the hearing. 2) The Claimant seeks a short extension of time allow them to further and properly investigate data provided to them by Royal Mail which is of importance to the proceedings and determination of the Claim. 3) The Claimant and Royal Mail have an information sharing agreement. Under the agreement, Royal Mail has provided data to the Claimant in respect of the matters forming the basis of these proceedings. The Claimant requires more time to consider this data and reconcile it against their own records. The Claimant may need to seek clarification and assurances from Royal Mail before they can be confident the data is correct and relevant to the proceedings i.e. available to be submitted as evidence. 4) The Claimant's witness is currently out of the office on annual leave and this was not relayed to DWF Law until after the event which has caused a further unfortunate delay. 5) The Court has directed parties to file and serve any evidence upon which they intend to rely not later than 14- days before the hearing i.e. by 4pm on 6 June 2024. Regrettably, the Claimant will have insufficient time to finalise their witness evidence and supporting exhibits as directed. We therefore respectfully apply to extend the time for filing/serving evidence so that the evidence upon which the parties intend to rely by filed and served not later than 7-days before the hearing i.e. by 4pm on 13 June 2024. 6) This application is a pre-emptive one for an extension of time made prior to the expiry of the deadline. In considering the application, the Court is required to exercise its broad case management powers and consider the overriding objective. 7) In circumstances where applications are made in time, the Court should be reticent to refuse reasonable applications for extensions of time which neither imperil hearing dates nor disrupt proceedings, pursuant to Hallam Estates v Baker [2014] EWCA Civ 661. 😎 It is respectfully submitted that the application is made pursuant to the provisions of CPR 3.1(2)(a) and in accordance with the overriding objective to ensure the parties are on an equal footing when presenting their cases to the Court. The requested extension of time does not put the hearing at risk and granting the Application will not be disruptive to the proceedings.   They have asked for extension Because 2) The Claimant requires additional time to consider and reconcile data received from Royal Mail which is relevant to these proceedings against their own data and records in order to submit detailed evidence in support of this Claim.

    • 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.

I was going to leave MBNA/Virgin until after I've claimed against some other cards, but they've made me so damn angry I can't wait to get started on them...

 

I received a letter saying I was over my limit, can't complain about that, so gave them a call and came to an amicable agreement about paying them back as my financial difficulties are very much short term.

 

Then they wrote again, I called them and had to explain everything all over again.

 

Received yet another letter. Was told the direct debit hadn't been set up by them (which thankfully gave me some breathing space), and that letters are automatically sent even if the customer has come to an agreement with them. Grrrrrrr! The woman on the phone refused to give her surname.

 

In the meantime, despite agreeing to a repayment program, I've received a call from someone claiming to be from MBNA and asking for me to call them back...on a mobile number! Was advised this was probably from one of three companies MBNA use i.e.

Global Adventure, Risk Management Alternatives, or Credit Solutions.

 

I'm about to send a letter of complaint along with my S.A.R. I hope MBNA aren't in the habit of counterclaiming? Should I wait?

 

Good luck to everyone.

Quick question before I send letter of complaint and S.A.R - are bank employees obliged to give their name if you ask for it? I'm soooooo livid with MBNA at the moment. I hope some kind person can help!

Well their five days to respond to my complaint are up today, and they've just called and left a message asking me to call them back. This is despite the fact that in my letter I asked them to confirm that all correspondence is conducted in writing and not by phone.

 

I can't decide whether to return the call or not. I'm certainly not going to discuss my complaint or my S.A.R with them.

I would call them, just to tell them that you want everything in writing. Although quite a few people on here seem to have done really well by discussing it over the phone.

 

I got the full amount back after my very first letter though, and I wasn't willing to speak to them on the phone. I'm rubbish on the phone, much better in writing!

 

My letter was a complaint about Global Vantedge (one of their debt collection people), an SAR, and another complaint (about Payment Protection Insurance). They sent me a three page response which I have to say was actually very good (and not just because they gave back all my money!). They did admit to being in the wrong too, which felt really good!!

Cheers girltuesday, I think I'll call them, hear what they've got to say, and then ask for everything in writing. I do find it odd that they rang even though a large chunk of my complaint was about them ringing!

Called them and they were just asking for money, told them there's a formal complaint in progress and to put everything in writing (again). I was told the calls would continue...grrr....so will now proceed with my complaint and send a copy to ...err...dunno...OFT? Banking ombudsman?

 

They're making me angry now.

Is it MBNA calling you in person, or is it one of their debt collection lovelies?

It seems a bit odd, to be honest. If you've agreed a repayment schedule with them, then why do they need to call you?! Maybe it's a case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing...?

And still it goes on (and on)......

 

Received yet another letter from them saying "Your decision not to pay your arrears" etc etc "and forced MBNA to inform the Credit Reference Agency of the arrears". I've got a repayment plan agreed with them for heavens sake!!!!!!!!! The "your decision" bit must be related to when I said I wasn't prepared to discuss it on the phone anymore as they just ignore any agreements I've made (3 calls already now to say the same thing).

 

I'm at my wits end now.

 

In the same post I received a letter acknowledging my complaint.

 

My debt to them is very much short term, and I've explained that to them - I want to phone them but can't see the point as they've already said the calls will continue regardless.

 

Can some kind soul please give me some advice, and also let me know who I should send copies of my letters to (ombudsman?). In a couple of months time I can pay them back in full and cut the card in two but I don't want my credit rating taking a beating.

 

Needless to say there's no reponse to my S.A.R yet either.

 

I'm SO angry/worried that for once I'm not even sure if this post is grammatically correct - sorry fellow CAG'ers, just need advice please. Thank you.

Hi again,

 

I would advise you to contact the complaints team by telephone, now that they've acknowledged your complaint. Tell them about the calls you keep getting - chances are they can have those stopped while they investigate the complaint. Well, I used to work on the complaints team of a bank and we certainly had the authority to request that.

 

Then telephone the department that keep phoning you and say:

 

"I have agreed a repayment plan with you. Can you reassure me that that shows on your system and is all agreed?"

 

If they say yes, then you can ask them to explain why they still feel the need to telephone you, if they are happy with the plan. Emphasise that you have made a complaint which is in process and has been acknowledged by person x.

 

If they say no, ask them if they can give you the telephone number of the relevant department/person you agreed the plan with, and take it from there. Or ask if they can investigate that an get back to you.

 

It sounds really clear to me that they don't seem to have good communication between departments, which may be the root of the problem you're having.

 

This is just my opinion/advice, obviously, but it's what I'd do.

 

Good luck!

Hello Girltuesday,

 

Sorry for the delay in replying.

 

I've been in contact with with the CAB, and my doctor, and as I'm so deeply in debt I've decided to call a halt to claiming my charges back, at least for now.

 

I just can't run the risk of counterclaims whilst I'm in this much trouble.

 

I did however get a response from MBNA about my complaint, it was quite good, but until I pay my arrears off I can't do much.

 

I am NOT going to drop this, I'm just going to leave it for a while.

 

Thankyou for your help.
