    • did you submit your directions
    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • 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

Fresh from my success over Nationwide BS for reclaiming my bank charges I've decided to see if I can reclaim my early redemption charges from Chelsea BS.

Basically I took out a mortgage with the Chelsea around May 2004 as with my credit score they we're one of the few that would touch me. I then remortgage around September 2005 as my credit score improved.

My mortgage was a "prospect 1% discount for 12 months off variable rate + 0.50%". Base rate @ 6.240%.Total rate 5.740%. I borrowed £120500 over 25 years - repayment mortgage.

In the offer it did state should I repay my mortgage within 3 years then there would be an additional fee. 1st year @ 5%, 2nd year @ 4%, 3rd year @ 3%.

My redemption statement reads:

start of year balance £120055.38

interest £5907.45

redemption interest £4802.21

discharge fee £175.00

LESS repayments/sundry credits £-7494.81

REDEMEMPTION AMOUNT £123445.23

 

What I'm unsure about is whether I have a valid claim to reclaim my early redemption charges (redemption interest @ £4802.21)??

 

I've read through numerous over message on the forum but its still seems to be a very grey area. :eek::confused:

Can someone please give their opinion before I send out my preliminary letter.

 

Many thanks in advance. :?

I'm not sure what you have read to make you think that but yes you can try. Claiming back ERCs is still relatively new and untested although there are a few on here that have had successful claims. My own ERC was £2035 made up of 6 months interst and I'm currently trying to get this back as we speak, you can send the template requesting the return of the ERC straightaway as you have all necessary information. Check out Zoots halifax settled thread which has examples of templates.

 

Good luck

I've received a reply from the Chelsea BS (Richard Gould - Head of Residential Mortgages) stating:

 

...sorry to learn of your dissatisfaction with the service provided by the the Society.

 

I will be investigating your complaint & I hope to provide a full response within the next 14 days. In the meantime, I enclose a leaflet that gives full details of the Societys Internal Complaints Procedure & your right to refer this matter to the financial ombudsman service id we can not resolve your complaint...

 

My next question is do I wait for their response or do I send out my LBA letter once the initial 14 days from my prelim letter have elapsed?

I have attempted to reclaim my charges from the Chelsea.

 

I got a standrd reply from customer relations, we are investigating and will get back to you within 14 days. I still had to chase them for the their reply.

 

The reply eventually came from General Manager @ Chelsea BS and basically was a definate no refering me to the financial ombudsman.

 

Need to send my LBA now. Fingers Crossed

 

Keep me informed of your progress

 

Thanx

Sorry for such a delay I was sent abroad by my compmany so this matter lay dormant.

 

Basically where I.m at:

 

Prelim letter sent.

 

Reply came back as:

Basically saying it was fair & I agreed to the charge at the time etc.

 

Can I still now go on to a LBA?

 

Reading a few threads it seems ERC isn't always successful is this true or chaould I carry on?

 

Soirry for the questions but I've been out of touch with the recent case etc & if any legislation has changed or a presidence has been set?

 

Thanks all in advance.

Hi Mr GS

 

I assume you've read this?

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/mortgage-companies/62003-important-mortgage-claimants-please.html

 

Your ERC is close to the 5K mark and thus risks going fast track. Its probably best to leave this.

 

You can still claim charges although check your mortgage agreeement to see if there is a legal indemnity clause.

 

All the best
