    • Thanks, I've had my fill of this lot. What makes me so mad is that I had to take out student loan to get any DHSS help. And then when I tried to help myself and family they presented obstacles. Might be worth passing story to RIP off Britain?
    • there is NO exposure if you simple remove your name address/ref numbers etc from docs, over 10'000 pdf uploads are here. which then harvests IP addresses off of the people that then do so..which is why we do not allow hosting sites. read our rules and upload carefully thats exactly why we say capture as JPG, redact, then convert/merge to one mass PDF. then online sites to achieve that we list do not leave watermarks.  every once in a while we have a user like you that thinks they know better...we've been doing it since 2006 with not one security issue. thank you.
    • was at the time you ticked it  but now they've still not complied . if you read up, here , you'll see thats what everyone does,  
    • no they never allow the age related get out, erudio are masters at faking supposed 'arrears' fees which were levied before said date and thus null its write off. 1000's of threads here on them!! scammers untied that lot. i can almost guarantee they'll state it's not SB'd too re above, but just ignore them once sent. 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.

Hi there,

 

From what i've read here so far, a lot of LLods TSB cases regarding bank charges reclamation seem to go to court? My charges are only £112.50 and i've claimed back similar amounts from Natwest and HSBC with little effort, but I am concerned about the possible costs of this one with Lloyds should it get as far as court - what do people here think?? I know it's a risk involved with any claim, but as the amount seems quite low in comparison to many others, i'm not sure what to do, though on principle, I don't want them to keep charging people like this and want to win!! :-)

 

Any suggestions?

Hi Sarah3891

No-one has actually gone to court yet all settled before hand. It doesnt matter what the amount is,as you say its the principle,they took your money you are entitled to it back. There is always a risk it may go to Cout, highly unlikely, although I think we shouldnt get too complacent about it. My suggestion is go for it, with a small amount they probably wont put up too much of a fight. Have a parachute account as they could close the one you are claiming for, they did with me. Good luck

Empire Strikes Back - thanks for your advice, My account with Lloyds has been closed for a few years now, but i'm still within the 6-year limit with these charges.

 

By gone to court, I meant filing a claim at county court etc - apologies for the confusion -

 

and Bookworm - I think you need to sort your attitude out.

Thanks Thailand!! Lol!!!

 

I didn't meant to sound complacent about the figure - to me, that is a lot of money (I am unemployed) but I meant in comparison to some of the other larger claims that seem to be mentioned here. :-)

Hi Sarah

Yep loads of us have filed a claim at the County Court, Lloyds solicitors play along and usually end up offering a settlement after the allocation questionnaire has been sent in. On my claim when they sent in their allocation questionnaire with a tick in the "1 month extra time box" to allow for trying to settle out of court and then the settlement offer arrived shortly after that. They then have to pay you the 8% interest that you added to your claim when it went to the court and also your court costs and the cost of the allocation questionnaire, so you get a bit extra if it does go that far.

Thanks again Empire - it seems quite a daunting prospect I guess, so i'm a bit nervous about it, though as you say - loads of you have done it, and with great success so that's reassuring! Interesting how they try to drag it out, though I guess that works in the claimants' favour as the interest simply adds up??! :-)

I don't think it was meant like that at all.

 

I guess that the bottom line is that even though the amount is reletively small, its still YOUR money! Personally, as I've said before, I would'nt want the Lloyds scumbags to have a penny of my money, and I'd sue em even if it was only a tenner! That said, it is a bit of a long drawn out process with them and only you can decide wether the work involved is worth the end gain.

 

One more thing to consider: By deploying the brinksmanship and bluffing and bulls**tting that they inevitabily do in these claims, they are relying on the hope that people will be put off by it. If too many people don't bother claiming simply becouse of the amount of time it takes and becouse they mess you around, then they're tactics will have worked. DON'T LET THEM WIN!!!!
