    • I contacted Sanctury housing in August 2023 after informing them my father in law who had Dementia had moved into a Nursing home December 2022. We kept the flat for 8 months until such a time we could accomodate some of his furniture that my wife wanted to keep. I contacted them in August 2023 to let them know the situation by email as I was the named person that could speak on his behalf. I informed them that we had left it to late for POT and were seeing a solicitor for Deputyship of his financies. I asked them what information would they need in order to give notice on the flat and we could provide details of his condition and nursing home. This went ignored I left it a month and then called them October 2023. I was promised a call back from a manager over the next few days. This never happened and it was end of November when I contacted them again and they had no record of me calling them. I explained the email and again I was told the local manager to the area would call me. This never happened and I ended up emailing them in January 2024 with a copy of the email from August. Again this went ignored and I had explained to them that we couldn't just go to the bank and stop the DD as we had tried. This email again went ignored. I then had a letter written to our home address in February asking us to get in contact with them (local manager) as they were concerend nobody was living in the flat. He had an email address so I copied in the last 2 emails to say I had been trying to give notice since August 2023. I also stated that I would like the rent that was paid from August 2023 refunded back to his account as I had officially tried to give notice then and it went ignored. He replied to us about wanting to look at the flat then notice could be given once he had contacted the nursing home to confirm he was actually living there now. Notice was giving for the 22 March 2024 and this would be when rent would stop and no further payment would be taken by this point. The fact I asked to be back dated went ignored. I have since noticed on 2 banks statement for April and May that they are still taking Rent payments of £501 from his bank. Further to this which seems very strange. He was with Eon Next for his utility bill again we were having problems getting this stopped as they needed a named person on his account which there wasn't one despite me managing his online account for him. I didn't check the email address that often that I used to set it up and went to check as noticed the credit he had built up with not living there was all getting refunded in February. The email said £600 would be refunded to his account with a (sorry you are leaving us message) but how can he leave as nobody but himself had access to speak with them. I also noticed the lady in the flat above him had a letter from her bank sent to his address with his address details but his name which was dated 4th March well before we had given notice and it said (thank you for giving us your new address details) we have set all this up for your account.   So Sanctuary housing must have been aware he wasn't living there from the ignored emails for the lady above to start changing address details to move into his flat before the housing manager had even got in contact to ask if anyone was living there. What I basically want to know his do we have any legal standing to claim the rent back from when I first contacted them in August 2023? There is roughly £3000 to come back

    • 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,

 

Firstly this is fantastic! our banks have made me and my boyfriends lives a misery for years. We had always tried asking th banks for refunds - even when we could not afford the rent and they would always refuse! They don't give a s**t! I am determined to do this - i'l admit i am a bit nervous but when we were looking at the information sheets we got very excited. My boyfriend has been charged excessive amounts by Barclays over the years and Halifax have chrged me up to £800 in less than a year!

 

My friend told me about all this and she is studying law so i think she will be able to help me if things get complicated.

 

I will keep every one updated. Can't wait...Just 1 thing can any 1 confirm where i post my initial letter too?

Hi everyone,

 

I am fairly new to this forum, i'v been havin a good old read and posted a few threads. Yesterday i sent my DPA letter off, my boyfriend has also sent one off to (Barclays), so i will keep u posted on how its going.

 

This site is absolutely brilliant. We have suffered really badly from banks charging us. On more than one occasion we have been unable to pay the rent simply because of charges. What angers me is how can they justify charging £30 for going overdrawn by £1.25????? How do these a** holes sleep @ night?

Hi,

 

It's your claim and your timetable. If you have sent them letters telling them what you are going to do and when, why do you need to remind them. The bank are 'big boys,' they can read and they understand what you are saying.

 

When your deadlines are up move onto the next thing you said you were going to do. If they start crying, and shouting 'foul,' then it's hard cheese for them...

 

Sorry...I'm very impatient, but unfortunately trying to remind them all the time will only add to your frustration. Believe me, I've heard not a sausage from HSBC, and a couple of weeks ago I was in the mood to go into the bank with a 'big hitty thing' and ask why they weren't responding to my communications.

 

Just hang in there and think of all that lovely money you are going to get back :rolleyes:

Charging you again - is this a statement of charges pending? If so, and to fill your time and get a little thrill to boot, you might want to try sending them this. They won't stop the charges going through, but I had them refunded within 8 hours of being applied...(with HSBC mind!)

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

I find myself in the position that your actions require my intervention for the [HOWEVER MANY] time in the space of a few days. I am seriously reconsidering my view that [bANK] has the capacity to act as my fiduciary in a responsible and lawful manner, as implied by the terms and conditions between both parties.

 

[WHENEVER] I received a statement from [bANK], stating their intent to unlawfully apply penalty charges to my account on [DATE]. These charges are to the sum of £XX, as well as an interest penalty of £X.XX for the 'privilege' of this unlawful action being undertaken.

 

As you are aware, I have asked you to demonstrate to me that these punitive charges are fair and just, that they are lawful, and that they are being lawfully applied. You have failed to demonstrate this to date, and therefore it is implied by your refusal or inability to supply such demonstration, that these penalties are, indeed, unlawful.

 

Therefore, I would draw your attention to the following point: you have stated that these charges will be applied on [DATE]. If these charges ARE applied, then you will be required to explain why you have, in my view, committed a pre-meditated breach of the law, and I will be reporting such breach to all of the relevant authorities.

 

However, as this has not yet happened, I require that you take action forthwith, and cancel this transaction prior to its execution. Furthermore, I require confirmation, in writing, that this transaction will, indeed, be cancelled.

 

I shall be checking my account on [DATE], and if I see that the penalty charges, plus interest, have been unlawfully applied to my account, I shall lodge a claim at the county court to recover these charges, plus my costs and interest calculated at 8% APR, without hesitation. Furthermore, I shall require that you confirm whether these unlawful charges have resulted in a default notice against my record with credit reference agencies, and if so, I will seek appropriate action to have this notice removed.

 

In view of my first paragraph, and considering your apparent incompetence to act as my fiduciary in a lawful manner, I will start to consider a course of action whereby I may seek redress for all the inconvenience you have caused me.

No its not a statement of charges pending - just the usual standard letter from Gary Kettle saying: 'we have paid this DD on this occasion... or if this makes you overdrawn then we will also apply a penalty charge of £28.'

 

Not too keen on this Mr Kettle bloke...

 

Thanks for your help anyway Spiceskull - wouldn't like to get o the wrong side of you!

Yeah i think i will.

I think i might of delayed it myself, cos rather than enclose the £10 fee, i said they could deduct it from my account but my account is overdrawn at the minute - (due to thier charges of course) so i am not sure what will happen. I'v only jus found out my account is overdrawn!

I reckon Halifax will be using the fact that i am overdrawn to delay taking the fee out my account, therefore allowing them to avoid sending my statements.

 

Well i get paid on Monday so i will be ringing them to remind them about the letter i sent them and to confirm that it is ok to take fee out of account. This is entirely my fault of course! What an idiot i am!

 

Would it be best to ring customer relations?:)
