    • Now that is an interesting article which adds afew perspective that I hadn't thought significant - but on reflection of the perspectives offered ... Now Starmer is no Blair, however 'blairite he may be perceived, but the Tories aren't tories and aren't even remotely liberal   The fast 'unannounced and unexpected election call from sunack may well be explained by the opinion linked that he hoped reform would be unprepared and effectively call a chunk of Farages largely empty bluster - making him look even more of a prat, leave scope for attacks on shabby reform candidates and mimimise core vote losses to reform - while throwing the 'middle ground' (relative) tories TO THE DOGS - and with the added bonus of likely pacifying his missu' desire to jogg off to sunny cal tout suite somewhat   thumb in the air - I expect about 140ish tory seats, but can hope for under a hundred Reform - got to admit the outside possibility of 1, maybe 2 seats with about 8% of the vote - but unlikely. I think projections of over 10% of the vote for reform is nudged and paid for speculation - but possible with the expected massive drives from Russian, Chinese and far right social media bot and troll prods targeting the gullible.
    • Commentary June 2024 WWW.ELECTORALCALCULUS.CO.UK Interesting article about just how bad it could be for the Tories.  Also Tories could be hoping on Reform not having candidates in many seats, as they were not ready.  
    • Even a Piers Morgan is an improvement and a gutless Farage Piers Morgan calls for second Brexit referendum WWW.THELONDONECONOMIC.COM Piers Morgan and Nigel Farage have faced off over Brexit and a second referendum in a heated reunion on BBC Question Time.   “Why don’t we have another referendum about Brexit?” he questioned. “I seem to remember when 2016 came around we were told there was going to be control of our borders and it was going to be economically beneficial to this country. And eight years later we have lost complete control of our borders… and economically it seems to have been a wilful act of self-harm.”   ... Piers missed off : after all somebody said a 48/52 decision would be "unfinished business" by a long way - was that person just bul lying (again)  
    • when did they (who) inform you there was a 'police case' and when was this attained? i will guess the debt is now SB'd as it's UAE 15yrs. have you informed the bsnk ever by email/letter of your correct and current address? you can always ignore anyone else accept the bank,  Block and bounce back all emails. Block any text messages  Ignore any letters unless it's: - a Statutory Demand - a Letter Of Claim - a Court Claimform via Northants bulk.  
    • I left Dubai 8 years ago and intended to return. However a job prospect fell through. I’d been there for 15 years. I decided to pay my credit card and the bank had frozen my account. There is no means to pay the CC so completely unable to pay when I wanted to other than the bank advising me to ask a friend in the UAE to pay it on my behalf!  fast forward bank informs there is a police case against me for non payment. Years later IDR chased me and after months/ years they stopped. Now Judge & Priestley are trying their luck. Now I have received an email in English and Arabic from JP saying the bank has authorised them to collect debts. Is this the same as IDR although I didn’t receive anything like this from them. Just says they are authorised?

    • 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.

On the template letter to Lloyds there is a section

'I shall begin a claim against you for the full amount plus interest plus a claim under ss.7 and 13 of the data protection act 1998 plus my costs'

Now I am not going to add the interest as its complicated as pointed out by many, but do i put in my letter the section ' plus a claim under ss.7 and 13 of the data protection act 1998'?

 

Cheers

Sorry, yeah that is the right LBA (can't remember that bit being on it before!). But as Reload said, only include that bit if they have'nt complied with your S.A.R - (Subject Access Request). Which they have, so delete it.

So is the below ok, and thanks for the quick replies:

I am very disappointed with the letter that I received off you on the 20th September 2006.

I now understand that the regime of ‘fees’ which you have been applying to my account in relation to direct debit refusals, exceeding overdraft limits and so forth are unlawful at common law, Statute and recent Consumer regulations.

I would draw your attention to the terms of the contract which you agreed to at the time that I opened my account. It is an implied term of that contract that you would conduct yourselves lawfully and in a manner which complies with the UK law.

I am frankly shocked that you have operated my account in this way as I had always reposed confidence in your integrity and expertise as my fiduciary.

I calculate that you have taken £????.??. I am enclosing a copy of the schedule of charges which I am claiming. I have already sent you a copy of this in my original letter of the 14th September 2006.

I require payment in full of this money. If you do not comply fully within 14 days then I shall begin a claim against you for the full amount plus my costs and without further notice.

Furthermore, I shall submit a Consumer Credit Act 1974 complaint to the OFT upon the basis that you have failed to comply with the OFT’s direction of 5 April 2006 and are therefore not a ‘fit and proper person’ to hold a consumer credit licence under the 1974 Act. If you do not understand what this means then seek advice from your legal department.

The spreadsheet that I have sent has not included a new charge of £90, should i include this next time? I have sent the LBA letter 2 days ago. Or should i stick with the figure I have asked for?

hi Reload,

 

Can i ask you when you received your money from Lloyds, was there any doubt in your mind that they would pay up? and how come you have a Round 2?

 

Cheers

one more question reload, lets say that i get a court date and ive paid the £120 ( I think thats what it is ) if i or anyone else putting in a claim was to lose their case, would the loss only be £120? as im in no financial situation to lose anymore.

 

Cheers

Hi Franco,

 

After various conversations with Martineau Johnson (Lloyd's solicitors in my case) and I received the settlement offer, there was no doubt they would pay up - it was more a case of how long it took them.

 

I have a round 2 because my first claim only went for the period of time I was able to get a list of charges through Lloyds Online banking - pretty much the most recent 4 years. Round 2 is more of an experiment, as it'll be for less money I will likely try pushing for contractual interest and push a few side arguments. I am trying one thing, which if successful I will post about, but it's only an aside and I don't hold much hope for it.

 

Court costs - if I remember right, filing an initial claim for over £1500 involves a cost of £120. Lloyd's current solicitors - Sechiari Mitchell & Clark - are in the habit of pushing the claim as long as possible, which means you will have to return an Allocation Questionnaire. This costs an additional £100, which is also reclaimable upon settlement.

 

The thing to remember though - if you prepare your case properly, know what you're about, and research everything you should do, the chances of you losing are infinitesimal (tiny). The risk of gambling the £220 against what you can get back are well worth it.

hi

 

When you say research, what exactly do you mean? I am owed money from Lloyds TSB, along with a few others !! I am going through the process as outlined on this site, I have sent my second letter, the LBA letter, and am expecting to pay the £220 you have mentioned. Apart from this what is there to research? Surely once ive filed a claim the people im paying my money to do the rest?

 

Cheers

Hi,

 

This is exactly what I mean by research Franco. The people you are paying the money to are a county court. They will not make your case for you, should it come down to you and the bank sitting in front of a judge. It's most certainly not inevitable that it will happen to you - but it is a possibility.

 

You would be wise to research the actual arguments lying behind the claim you're making against the bank - the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts, Sale of Goods and Services Act, etc etc. A good place to start is the FAQ and Bank Templates library. Bookworm's Court Bundle in the Templates Library will certainly help you out too.

Hi Franco,

 

As well as agreeing completely with Reloads posts, I would add that yes, court is very, very unlikely - the banks don't want to risk a) losing (which they likely would), or b) publicly exposing the grubby details of their charging systems. However, when you file that court claim, you must assume from the outset that your case will go to court and prepare accordingly - this advice is given in numorous locations around this site, and it would be totally irresponsable to take any other attitude. After all, sueing a £multi-billion company is'nt something you do every day is it?!

 

Don't get me wrong, the law is most definately on our side when it comes to these charges, but if it did go to court you'd still have to understand the issues involved and demonstrate how the law applies to your case. Its not rocket science though - no-one here are lawyers or anything like that - give it a couple of weeks of reading up and you'll soon be confidant that you could put your case before a court. In fact, like many here, you may even begin to actually hope your case does go to court! Its also worth remembering that small claims court is nothing to fear - its designed to be informal and accesable to your average bloke in the street, without the need for lawyers and all that legal jargon. Cases are 'hearings' rather than 'trials' and are heard in a small office type room as opposed to a court.

 

Anyway, sorry, I'm rambling now - in answer to your last question, yes, one case has reached court. It was back last year in the days before this site was born. It was against NatWest and the bank won. Why? Basically a lack of preparation and one or two silly mistakes! A lesson for us all I think.

Please remember to DONATE! Help CAG keep up the fight!

Hi,

 

Have received the following letter today.

'Thank you for your letter dated 29th September 2006. I have noted your comments, but unfortunately I cannot add further information to my previous letters or agree to your request. Since the banks final reponse has been issued, I must advise you that we will not be entering into further correspondence regarding the points you have raised.'

 

So do i file a claim now?

 

Cheers

Yup!

 

Well, ideally you should wait the 14 day period from sending them your LBA. Some do, some don't because they state it's their final response. Personally I didn't, and it didn't adversely effect my claim whatsoever - entirely up to you, really.
