    • Paragraph 23 – "standard industry practice" – put this in bold type. They are stupid to rely on this and we might as well carry on emphasising how stupid they are. I wonder why they could even have begun to think some kind of compelling argument – "the other boys do it so I do it as well…" Same with paragraph 26   Paragraph 45 – The Defendants have so far been unable to produce any judgements at any level which disagree with the three judgements…  …court, but I would respectfully request…   Just the few amendments above – and I think it's fine. I think you should stick to the format that you are using. This has been used lots of times and has even been applauded by judges for being meticulous and clear. You aren't a professional. Nobody is expecting professional standards and although it's important that you understand exactly what you are doing – you don't really want to come over to the judge that you have done this kind of thing before. As a litigant in person you get a certain licence/leeway from judges and that is helpful to you – especially if you are facing a professional advocate. The way this is laid out is far clearer than the mess that you will get from EVRi. Quite frankly they undermine their own credibility by trying to say that they should win simply because it is "standard industry practice". It wouldn't at all surprise me if EVRi make you a last moment offer of the entire value of your claim partly to avoid judgement and also partly to avoid the embarrassment of having this kind of rubbish exposed in court. If they do happen to do that, then you should make sure that they pay everything. If they suddenly make you an out-of-court offer and this means that they are worried that they are going to lose and so you must make sure that you get every penny – interest, costs – everything you claimed. Finally, if they do make you an out-of-court offer they will try to sign you up to a confidentiality agreement. The answer and that is absolutely – No. It's not part of the claim and if they want to settle then they settle the claim and don't add anything on. If they want confidentiality then that will cost an extra £1000. If they don't like it then they can go do the other thing. Once you have made the members of suggested above – it should be the final version. court, that I would respectfully requestup but I don't think we are going to make any more changes. Your next job good to make sure that you are completely familiar with it all. That you understand the arguments. Have you made a court familiarisation visit?
    • just type no need to keep hitting quote... as has already been said, they use their own criteria. if a person is not stated as linked to you on your file then no cant hurt you. not all creditors use every CRA provider, there are only 3 main credit file providers mind, the rest are just 3rd party data sharers. if you already have revolving credit on your file there is no need to apply for anything just 'because' you need to show you can handle money. if you have bank account(s) and a mortgage which you are servicing (paying) then nothing more can improve your score, despite what these 'scam' sites claiml  its all a CON!!

    • 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.

When the missus and I got together, we both had a mortgage and a house each.

 

We decided that the missus would sell her house and we would keep mine. After she sold her house we SAR'd Northern Rock to see how much they had ripped her off. Although we found she had indeed been ripped off, we were getting married last September and she wouldn't let me take any action against Northern Rock at that time.

 

However after the wedding and honeymoon etc I dug out the SAR from Northern Rock and wrote them the following letter (on behalf of the missus of course)..............

Mr and Mrs Simpson's place

Springfield

USA

 

26th November 2010

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

On reviewing the documents you sent in response to my Data Protection Act SAR I have a number of queries. I apologise for the delay in my review of your documentation and this subsequent request, but I have had my wedding to organise, a time-consuming and expensive occasion. I am now able to give this matter my undivided attention.

  • You have failed to supply me with the underwriting sheets/disbursement sheets for my mortgages and personal loans. I ask you again to supply this information that is part of my SAR request.
     
  • You have failed to supply me with details of the commissions you received for the procurement of the Payment Protection Insurance policies you sold to me. I ask you again to supply this information that is part of my SAR request.
     
  • You have failed to supply me with all documentation relating to the discharge of my mortgage at Land Registry and the actual work involved by your staff. I ask you again to supply this information that is part of my SAR request.
     
  • You have failed to supply me with transcripts of telephone conversations or documents relating to my enquiries about transferring my mortgage to another property. This occurred shortly before the redemption of my mortgage. Please provide these documents and an explanation as to why they were not included in my original request.

Loan Account xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

Your documentation states...

 

As a responsible lender, we recommend that you seek independent financial advice to arrange payment protection cover for this loan, should this be appropriate for your circumstances.”

 

There does not appear to be any PPI affixed to this loan. Can you please explain further.

 

 

Loan Account xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

Your documentation states...

 

 

 

Following a review of your personal circumstances during your unsecured personal loan application we have identified that you have a need for our Loanprotect insurance for the reasons stated below, if due to unforeseen circumstances you are unable to meet your loans repayments.

  • For simple peace of mind that your repayments are being made

  • You are the sole/main income earner
  • You have limited sick pay
  • You have no unemployment cover
  • You have no easily accessible savings

Following our recommendation you have selected to protect your loan with Loanprotect Gold.”

 

There was a PPI premium of £2280.80 plus £701.68 interest payable on this policy.

 

Upon redemption I received a rebate of £1072.61 for PPI and £1168.64 for interest on the loan.

 

Unfortunately there is no breakdown of how these calculations were derived, and whether the interest element refers to the loan itself or the interest charged on the PPI.

 

As I do not have access to the systems you use to calculate these figures I would be grateful if you supply the actual documents used to calculate these figures. I also require a detailed and fully audited breakdown of how you arrived at these figures, and confirmation as to whether this PPI was a single premium preloaded at the start of the loan account, or was charged on a monthly basis. It appears to me that the rebate I received is grossly disproportionate to the premium charged.

 

Your staff recommended that my application would be considered much more favourably if I were to take Payment Protection Insurance. Your staff were aware that I was (and still am) employed by the NHS and enjoy the best pay guarantees available, were I unable to work through sickness, accident etc. My chances of unemployment are negligible unless the NHS were to cease caring for the health of the British population.

 

I therefore believe that I was unfairly coerced into taking out Insurance that I did not need, nor would have benefited from in any way. I believe this policy was sold to me for the benefit of your staff and the commissions or bonuses that they would receive for its sale.

 

 

 

Mortgage Account Number xxxxxx-xxxxx

 

Your documentation indicates that Payment Protection Insurance was being charged on my mortgage. I am unable to locate the actual documents relating to my mortgage account and the related PPI within your Data Protection Act SAR response. Please confirm as to whether you actually have a signed and dated document relating to this insurance. If you do have such a copy, please forward it to me asap. If you do not, please explain why not.

General concerns regarding Payment Protection Insurance

 

In summary I am severely concerned regarding the sale of the Payment Protection Insurance policies by Northern Rock to myself.

 

I re-confirm that I was at all material times, and continue to be, employed by the NHS. This employment affords me a comprehensive pay and conditions package that covers my salary to be paid for sickness, hospitilisation, accident leave, illness including critical illness cover, and minimal chance of losing my employment.

 

This was made clear at all times to Northern Rock staff, but it was suggested and inferred by said staff that my chances of obtaining my mortgage, and subsequent loans, were greatly increased by adding Payment Protection Insurance policies to my applications.

 

Such policies afforded me no actual benefit as I was already protected by my employment contract with the NHS.

 

Furthermore I am concerned that your staff that mis-sold these policies may not have any formal training or qualifications in the sale of such Insurance policies. Please provide proof that your staff were indeed qualified or authorised by a recognised regulatory body to sell such policies.

 

Please provide to me the proof that these policies were sold in my best interests. Please provide me with full and complete details of the commissions that you received from the sale of these policies.

 

Please demonstrate to me that the discharge of my mortgage actually cost Northern Rock £250 to process. I am aware that there is no charge at Land Registry, and am somewhat confused as to your charge of £250. I shall accept a detailed audited costings analysis that shows your actual costs to be £250.

 

 

My targets to resolve this matter

 

I would like you to provide all requested documentation and explanations.

 

If you are unable to provide suitable documentation or explanations, then I expect a full refund of....

 

  • All Payment Protection Insurance premiums that were not sold correctly.
  • All interest charges Northern Rock applied to said premiums.
  • Discharge of Mortgage fee £250
  • 8% statutory interest that a Court would award me for being deprived of my money, applied to all above charges.

I shall expect a reply from yourselves within fourteen days, as an organisation of your size has access to sufficient resources to accommodate such a request. I am well aware of my right to take my complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service, however my preferred course of redress is the County Courts.

 

 

Yours Faithfully

Imagine her delight when she received the following letter from Northern Rock........

 

Dear Mrs Simpson,

 

Thankyou for your complaint about your PPI. I understand you believe we mis-sold you this cover when you applied for an unsecured loan with us. I am sorry you feel you have cause for complaint.

 

In line with our Internal Complaints procedure, I have reviewed your complaint and looked thoroughly at all aspects of your sales file. Included in your file is a copy of your Credit Agreement which forms the basis of the contract you have with us. It is clear, from looking at the Agreement, you signed and accepted the terms and conditions of the loan including PPI. I have also looked at how you applied for your loan when we recommended cover so you could protect your loan if you could not meet the monthly repayments.

 

I am not satisfied that our sale of PPI met all our standards of service, and I agree to uphold your complaint and refund your PPI premiums. You settled the loan before it ran its full term and made your first repayment on xx Nov 200x and the last on xx Nov xx respectively. The refund of premiums and interest is therefore not equal to the monthly premium paid (£54.28) multiplied by the number of months the loan has been in force (25). This is because we apportion more of the premium in the early part of the policy term when we bear more of the risk.

 

We have already given you an insurance rebate of £1,072.61, which was applied to your account on xx Nov 200x, and you are now due a refund of premiums and interest of £2,247.99. In addition we will pay 8% interest calculated from the date you made each payment, totalling £593.00.

 

Please sign and return the enclosed Acceptance Declaration within the next ten days. Blah Blah.............

It seems Northern Rock are really keen to cough up.:whoo:

Northern Rock are absolutely correct. The refund of premiums and insurance is not the amount of your monthly repayment for PPI x the number of months you had the loan.

 

It is the total cost of PPI when the loan was taken out, plus the total amount of interest charged on the PPI, less any early resettlement rebate you were given when you settled the loan.

 

It is really important you check your statements and see how much if any rebate your were given on the PPI when you paid off the loan.

 

There is a chance you did not get any rebate at all and this could be why they are so keen to offer you this refund.

 

Any questions with the calculations give us a shout but I highly recommend you do your own calculations before signing their acceptance letter.

 

Good luck

 

DJ
