    • I know now, but always thought that if the transaction was excepted by card only way a customer could get a refund is by taking the goods back to get their money back

    • Yes I can imagine that kind of thing rankles a lot. I don't know what the timescale is for making chargeback claims. I suggest that you find out and then change your way working so that you keep records at least until then. It may be six months
    • no need to use @username just type. please fill out the sticky  as it asks  dx    
    • It was more the principle of this matter the customer has made no attempt to return the products purchased nor have I had no prof of anything & i have had to try & prove the sale which was paid for by the customers phone at the till. Only keep them till I check if the settlements tally up with the bank. Just think its a way of being scammed & the banks are helping them in a way

    • 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 All

 

I am currently getting help with Repo action in the Repo forum and am now starting in this forum to get some assistance with claiming back my arrears charges.

 

I think CAG is excellent as there are so many people who don't know what their rights are.

 

Having read the board extensively and made a start in using it, I feel empowered to take on these "big Guns".

 

So, I am going after GE for the charges etc on the arrears of my mortgage which is now being sorted out.

 

Can I just check a couple of things please....

 

First, my starting point should be to send a SAR to GE with the appopriate postal order for £10 and see what comes back.

 

Second, go through the information they provide together with my statements etc to establish the exact amount of charges etc.

 

Third, use the templates available on this site (amended appropriately for my circumstances) to file the claim at court.

 

Fourth, attend the hearing, put arguements and see what the Judge says.

 

Just a couple of points to clarify if I may.

 

1 - Is it just the charges (e.g. £25 DD Failure, £40 Admin etc) which can be claimed back or does the extra interest added to the account form part of the claim as well?

 

2 - I gather that I can ask for interest at, I believe 8% on top of the amount claimed? If so, what is the easiest way of calculating the interest? the interest due on a £40 charge from, say 4 years ago is a lot more than the interest on a £40 charge from 1 year ago.

 

3 - I have seen mention of restitutional damages being claimed. Is this another term for the interest or is it a completely different item? If the latter, how is this calculated please?

 

In some strange way I'm looking forward to taking them on (I don't know why or maybe I shouldn't be looking forward to it). Is this what empowerment feels like?

 

Thanks in advance for any answers you can give me and I will post the progress of my claim for others to follow.

 

Kind regards to all

Yes, start off by sending the SAR.

 

Start reading and understanding - especially this article and the linked documents:- http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/content.php?700-Hot-news-for-anyone-who-has-suffered-mortgage-arrears-charges-irresponsible-lending-or-other-unfair-lender-conduct

 

you can claim the interest which they took from you in relation to the charges plus interest on the whole lot.

Don't see them as Big Guns.

 

They aren't. They are a company which acts unfairly and which tends to get away with it.

 

You'll see. As soon as you issue your claim, they will start offering you the money to avoid going to court.

Hi

 

I'd like to get going with this SAR but could you point me in the direction of the correct letter template to use in this case. There are a few on the site and I don't know which one is appropriate.

 

 

Also, I am doing this to my current lender and I have read that this could cause problems in the future if I get into difficulty again. Does this really matter as the courts appear to be behind you if what you are requesting is reasonable and equitable?

 

I feel that these companies should be coughing up unlawful charges.

 

Thanks

Hi

As there isn't a dedicated SAR for what you require, why not use both of the templates in section 2 HERE

See if you can use parts of each.

 

The first SAR is a more comprehensive one but you will need to edit out bits (like 3 True copies of any notice of assignment and default notices or enforcement notice that you/or name of the original creditor sent me, with a copy of any proof of postage that you hold.) if it is still with the original creditor.

 

Someone else may come up with a better one and I'll have a look too

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

Everything I say is opinion only. If you are unsure on any comment made, you should see a qualified solicitor

Just subbing in-

 

ims21: It's a good idea to use a postal order for your SAR also send it recorded delivery :-) both can be tracked online..Good Luck!

Hi Stronger, Thanks for your post: Just remember, you can't claim any solicitors charges but, late payment, returned DD's and default charges you can. If you send an SAR you can also get phone records but, you need to know the number you called on, date and time of call, so if anyone speaks to them make sure you keep the record or even record the conversation same as they do! Cheers.

Hi Stronger, You need to go through all the statements and list the individual charges.

 

If you visit the library on CAG you will find the simple spread sheet, this has all the calculations in place for standard s69 interest..

Download the file it's in Microsoft Excel. This was my starting point..

 

you will understand it once you open the file just change the info to suit your individual charges..

 

You might request later restitionary interest but, for now use the simple charges.

 

Please note: Don't include any solicitors fees, default charge, late payment charges, bounced direct debits charge.. There should be a prelim letter for requesting your charges back, if you have a problem just shout..

 

There is a sequence to follow i.e. Once you know the extent of the charges then, send a prelim with a summary of the charges (don't include interest at this stage). After this and you receive a standard letter back you will send an LBA ( Letter Before Action) giving them 14 days or your going to file a claim in the County Court. These guys play hard ball and use a specialist firm of solicitors so, keep your nerve! Take care..

 

PS: It's a good idea to start your own thread no offence but, you will get more helpers..

good for yiou I,m with these clowns also and hopefully by EOM ill be without them for good (moving and ending up mortgae freee. ) I managed initiallyh to get some of the charges reversed and in all 200 comp from them due to thier errors but they are beginning to add charges back on the best one is nyon 400 for changing a direct debit dater a few days forward I will also look to get the rest of the charges back funny how a 94,000 morgage (interest only) asnd as a redemoption figure of nearly 100,000 they want . at most I think without the rest of the charges in reality when I calculated everything (should be no early repayment as it has run its course) i should be paying back only 97,000 I have heard stories of them if cornered and paid what you think you owe when turning the mortgage in they refuse to release the deeds causing no end of mysery for the new owners any thaughts ?????

Any updates on relcaiming charges from GE Money.I'm about to attempt to reclaim their ridiculous £40 "arrears" charges.can anyone point me in the direction of a good spreadsheet that calculates the interest for me??

jaxads

 

Halifax - £2281, successfully refunded all charges after LBA letter & telephone call.

Have been offered the difference between the £20 and £12 charges from Capital One -- am sending LBA for remainder.

GE Money - Received settlement of £441, being total charges requested. No interest though.

CCA'd Bank of Scotland / Blair Oliver Scott to produce CCA Agreements on two Credit Cards - well in default, although still chasing payment!!!

EOS Solutions "ceased action on account" on behalf of a friend.

 

All in all, quite busy at the moment and enjoying every minute of it
:eek:

Yes you can get GE to refund those charges and the interest charged as a result.

 

You would be best to start your own thread on this and we can give you help there.
