    • Paragraph 18 – you are still talking about Boston stolen items. About time this was fixed??? Paragraph 19  In any event, the claimant's PS5 gaming device was correctly declared and correctly valued. The defendant accepted it for carriage and was even prepared to earn extra money by selling sell insurance in case of its loss or damage. New paragraph 20 – this the defendant routinely sells insurance in respect of "no compensation" items (a secondary contract contrary to section 72 CRA 2015) new paragraph above paragraph 20 – the defendant purports to limit its liability in respect of lost or damaged items. This is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights act 2015. The defendant offers to extend their liability if their customer purchases an insurance cover for an extra sum of money. This insurance is a secondary contract calculated to exclude or limit their liability for the defendants contractual breaches and is contrary to section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015. New paragraph below paragraph 42 – the defendant merely relies on "standard industry practice" You haven't pointed to the place in your bundle of the Telegraph newspaper extract. You have to jiggle the paragraphs around. Even though I have suggested new paragraph numbers, the order I have suggested is on your existing version 5. You will have to work it out for your next version. Good luck!   Let's see version 6 Separately, would you be kind enough to send me an unredacted to me at our admin email address.
    • i think theres been MORE than amble evidence of that and am astonished that criminal proceedings haven't begun.
    • Yep, those 'requirements' not met to shareholders satisfaction seem to me to be: 1. Not being allowed to increase customer bills by 40% (of which well over 50% of the new total would NOT be investment) 2. 1 plus regulators not agreeing to letting them do 'things in their own time (ie carry on regardless)
    • As already mentioned freely available "credit scores" are fairly useless. All lenders have their own "credit scoring" system, that for obvious reasons they don't divulge. And they're "scored" differently to the freely available ones. As soon as they could, we've always encouraged our two children to use credit cards responsibly... Pay off in full, etc, to generate good history. It's paid off. At quite young ages, they have both obtained loans for cars, mortgage and their credit card limits are through the roof. Personally, I have shifted debt around a lot on credit cards (even financed a house purchase once at 0% 😉) and I've only ever been refused a credit card once, sorry twice by the same company, over many years. They must have something very different in their lending criteria. You're a tight one, Mr Branson.

    • 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,

I’ve been reading forum threads for a few days and would like to congratulate you all on amassing such a mine of information! I hope I am posting this in the right place.

 

I have a problem that I would like to ask for help with. To cut a long story short, I’ve run a business for over 20 years, initially in partnership with my wife until her death and then as a sole trader. I bank with Natwest and until a few years ago my relationship manager brought bottles of wine at Christmas and congratulated us!

 

The recession and losing our biggest customers hit hard and I reduced staff from six fulltime to one part time, closed a branch office, returned my contract hire car, re-mortgaged my home etc etc. There was a shortfall in funds so I used personal credit cards to fill the gap and got to the point just over a year ago when I thought bankruptcy was the only way out.

 

I contacted PayPlan who were very helpful and arranged a monthly payment plan for the £68k on my credit cards. I could breathe again and very slowly the business improved. The banks were still adding interest to the amounts and at the rate I was paying of £350 month it would never end! PayPlan suggested an IVA which was arranged and began in February this year.

 

With the IVA I could see a light at the end of the tunnel – 5-6 years. I can now pay all bills on time, business and personal, keep the business going and maybe even employ another staff member later this year.

 

Then it all changed! Last week Natwest stopped a charge card we use for buying stock even though it was always paid on time at the end of the month. I rang to ask why and was told there was not enough money in the account talk to my relationship manager. (who has never introduced himself or ever contacted me in the last two years). The mobile number they gave me was unobtainable. Then all cheque payments and direct debits on the account were returned even a loan payment to Natwest themselves. Then the outstanding charge card balance was taken from the account with no warning – even though it wasn’t due for another three weeks.

 

All of these things are not big problems – I have a ‘parachute’ business account and am now changing to this.

 

I suspect Natwest have discovered the IVA on my credit file and are taking action.

 

The major problem is that I have two business loans one from 2009 which was to pay down an overdraft and from 2010 for a smaller overdraft together amounting to about £75k. These are secured with a first charge on my business premises and a second charge of £10.5K on my home.

 

I have just read the loan agreements again and find that having an IVA puts me in default.

 

I am now in fear of what will happen next. I got my relationship managers proper number but he doesn’t return calls. I’ve asked in the branch what is happening and nobody knows. There is enough money in the account to have paid all direct debits and cheques but as I mentioned all have been returned except for one which is for insurance on the business premises! (how did they know?)

 

My questions are what is likely to happen next and what can I do about it? Under BCOB regulations surely Natwest is not acting correctly, but what can I do.

 

There is probably some equity in the premises but not in my home. But commercial property is just not selling with lots empty here in the north east. If they re-possess the premises I will have no income from the business and have no money to relocate anyway. I had planned to retire in four years – but not any more! I think it’s unlikely I could get a loan from another source with my IVA on file. If I default on the IVA, I will be made bankrupt. I don't know what to do for the best.

 

Sorry the short version turned out so long and now it’s Easter. Can anyone help after Easter?

 

Happy Easter everyone

Hi Martin,

 

I had to sign a declaration for exemption (sections 16B and 189 (1) & (2) CCA 1974) for the larger loan in 2009. The 2010 loan for the lower amount actually spells out certain rights the bank have under the CCA - like not needing a court order to enforce the agreement!

 

On turning the overdraft into a loan in 2009 I don't remember actually meeting anyone and on the 2010 loan I definitely never met anyone! Everything was done by post. I've now received a letter from Natwest collections department telling me I'm in default (seeming to indicate missed payments - which is not true) and how do I propose to repay the 2009 loan (no mention of the other yet). I sent a reply proposing I continue to pay the agreed monthly amount and that there are funds in the business account for the payment they didn't take and also the next payment due at the end of this month. I will await their reply.

  • 4 weeks later...
  • 3 months later...

About 3 years ago I had a business which was a Ltd Company I obtained a £5000 overdraft and had to sign a Personal Guarantee Form shortly after I obtained a £15000 secured loan, but I subsequently suffered a nervous breakdown and the business folded.

 

I managed to repay the secured loan which at the time was £17500 (despite also making some payments, natwest was unable to supply any details of fees or charges as they have combined accounts)

 

Natwest are saying that when I applied for secured loan one of the clauses stated that all debts will be secured on property, and they are now demanding the settlement of the overdraft in Jan (currently paying £50 per month), failing to do this will see my home repossed.

 

Any advice please

Having to sign an exemption from CCA seems to be an unfair business practice,as they are creating an imbalance.

What have you got in the way of a papertrail ?

If you have not done a full SAR I think would be a tenner well spent,but needs to be exhaustive.

I did not sign a loan agreement as such the only thing I signed did not show amount of loan,term of loan, interest etc,

it simply stated that an amount of £15000 was secured on my home, does this sound right?
