      G24 ANPR PCN - appealed - Robin Retail Park, Wigan

      By lookinforinfo · Posted

      If that is the first final notice you have received you can probably expect two or thee more to follow. This to test your resolve. They are hoping that these frightening 😃 letters will scare you into paying. After the third or fourth final demand they then have to decide  whether to actually proceed with a court claim or forget about you for a while. You were not the driver, their PCN is non compliant .No biggy.Slam dunk win for you.

      Letter Of Claim for death of cat now Court Claim received.

      By Manxman in exile · Posted

      Yes. I'd be very interested to know how the defendant fared in putting forward the defence that the calaimant had been contributorily negligent by not keeping their cat under control. I'm aware that some people might find that fatuous, distracting or confusing, but the reality is that I'm not aware of any law that imposes a duty upon cat owners to keep their pets under control.  Whereas I believe the law does hold dog owners responsible for their dogs in public places. I'm not certain it was at all beneficial to the OP to suggest that blaming the claimant was a credible defence...

      LC Asset/Link/Kearns Claim Form #1 - Halifax CC

      By Badtimes123 · Posted

      Good evening, so not a good weekend reviewing paperwork -- I have lost some proofs of postage.. also, although not provided at CCA, they have now supplied a DN in their WS, please see scan of claimants WS (without statements) Document with tick boxes as signatures doesn't look like an agreement and is split across pages. Documents have been stapled and copied multiple times looking at the top left of them. Aside from that, having read other threads, I suspect they have everything? appreciate your input please Sorry for heavy redactions, I noticed the paperwork was see-through LinkHalifaxCC1.compressed.pdf

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

Here it is.

 

The figures from June 2006 are the figures that HSBC have sent. The APR is an average of the "Effective APR" that they have sent me on their Transaction Summary.

Thanks again DX.

 

Here's a copy of the letter of my counter claim - Have I included everything, or am I missing something (names/ addresses/ numbers omitted for the obvious reasons!)?

 

"Dear Sirs,

I am writing in response to your letter dated 11th September 2012 where you offered a revised amount in regards to my PPI complaint.

After reviewing the information I have since received in my Data Subject Access Request, I feel that your offer does not take into account compound interest at the credit card rate since my Cardholder Repayment Plan came into effect in May 2002.

As data is unavailable prior to 18th May 2005, charges for the Cardholder Repayment Plan are taken as a monthly average from the available date for use from 6th May 2002 to 6th May 2005.

The interest rate is taken as an average of the effective APR rate supplied in the transaction summary that was supplied to me.

I therefore request a refund of the following:

1: Cardholder Repayment Charges = £358.89.

2: Compound interest at 22.87% = £1362.73

3: Simple interest on the above amounts from 17th June 2011 to date = £183.84

Total =£1905.43

I enclose a copy of the spreadsheet detailing the charges, a copy of the transaction summary showing the effective APR rates and also a copy of the FOS Questionnaire that was previously been submitted to you in my initial claim.

I look forward to hearing from you soon

Yours sincerely"

An update: it appears that HSBC still don't like responding to letters! I've now fired off a letter to the Company Secretary giving them 7 days to play nice or it will be time for FOS involvement.

 

here's hoping I can get this resolved soon!

Finally a response, and not the one I was hoping for. HSBC are refusing to increase the offer. Time to take this to FOS!

 

Even more entertaining, two letters from the same person (Suzanne Rogers) one dated 12th Dec saying they weren't going to increase the offer, another dated 17th Dec saying they were looking into it!

 

The mind boggles!

An update, although it seems HSBC can't keep figures straight. Their new offer seems to be £40 more than previous and nowhere near the £1905 that I've calculated.

 

Again, their new offer doesn't have a rate of interest just a seemingly random number.

 

I'm guessing it's a matter of negotiating now, should I go through HSBC direct or deal with FOS?

 

Any thoughts?

Thanks DX, the other part of their letter amused me too. Apparently under the 2007 Money Laundering Regulations they want me to go to my local branch with ID before they will release payment!

After asking HSBC for a full detailed breakdown of how they came to their calculations, they've kindly sent me a long rambling letter about how they use the data and that their calculators are verified by the FCA. All they've sent me is a list of PPI payments I've made with no information on the rate of interest etc.

 

Any idea's on how to get this information?

Finally had contact from the FOS. Frustratingly they've agreed that HSBC's calculations are correct. So now just waiting for the updated offer.

Have they agreed that you were missold?

If so you might want to investigate a small claims. And then *Maybe* Interest in restitution

They've agreed that I've been mis-sold, just a difference in figures from my calculations to theirs.

Maybe Andy or one of the others could advise you on a small claims then. If you have it in writing they missold you then im assuming (and its a big IF) that the fact they have admitted to unlawfully taking your money you could argue for interest in restiitution say 24.9% api compound interest.

 

I have not seen anyone doing this though

we certainly know that the likes of Barclaycard and cap1 do pay restitution when court papers arrive usually

 

might it be an idea to use the FOSRUNNING sheet

to see if that gets nearer?

 

don't forget our methods are only a guideline as such.
