    • wont go near it with a barge pole as its ex gov't debt.  
    • Thanks, I've had my fill of this lot. What makes me so mad is that I had to take out student loan to get any DHSS help. And then when I tried to help myself and family they presented obstacles. Might be worth passing story to RIP off Britain?
    • there is NO exposure if you simple remove your name address/ref numbers etc from docs, over 10'000 pdf uploads are here. which then harvests IP addresses off of the people that then do so..which is why we do not allow hosting sites. read our rules and upload carefully thats exactly why we say capture as JPG, redact, then convert/merge to one mass PDF. then online sites to achieve that we list do not leave watermarks.  every once in a while we have a user like you that thinks they know better...we've been doing it since 2006 with not one security issue. thank you.
    • was at the time you ticked it  but now they've still not complied . if you read up, here , you'll see thats what everyone does,  
    • no they never allow the age related get out, erudio are masters at faking supposed 'arrears' fees which were levied before said date and thus null its write off. 1000's of threads here on them!! scammers untied that lot. i can almost guarantee they'll state it's not SB'd too re above, but just ignore them once sent. dx

    • 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 everyone, Have sent our first 2 letters asking the Woolwich oh so nicely for our charges back each time telling them they have 14 days to respond. The second deadline for their reply is 5/10/06. Received a letter dated 28/9/06 from Woolwich saying they have sent our complaint to Barclays Customer Relations. We want to send our third letter complete with interest this friday 6/10/06 but now not sure whether to send it to the Woolwich or to Barclays. Would it be best to send our next letter to Barclays along with copies of all previous correspondence? Would be grateful if someone can give us a bit of advice on this one. Cheers:cool:

If you have already sent a preliminary letter and the LBA, then I wouldn't bother to write any more letters; they have already had 28 days to respond to your claim - its time to file your claim either on Moneyclaim or at your local County Court. Good luck

it may be worth a letter to them once you have filed with the claim details in full, if you send that recorded they then cant claim the knew nothing about it and get any judgement set aside. they will deffo take you more seriously when you put "notice of action" at the top of the letter.

me against the abbey Paid in full (donation made)

me against the woolwich Paid in full(donation made)

Hi I was thinking that even though we have received the letter from Barclays (hopefully this means they have all previous correspondence from the Woolwich) we'll send photocopies of everything along with our Notice of Action that way they can't stall claiming they don't have all the information. Thanks for your help :D

Of course it is up to you, but I wouldn't waste any more time and effort sending letters to them. You have already sent 2 letters to The Woolwich, and I expect that they have passed the file on to Barclays.

Yes - Time to file now!!

Have had exactly the same correspondence from Woolwich then Barclays.

You will probably get an offer letter next. "as a token of their generosity"!! probably 50%.

Tell them that you will accept it as a part offer only and you will pursue the rest in court.(follow the guidelines in the FAQ's)

Good Luck - keep us posted.

I am about the same position with the Woolwich and one step on with the NatWest.

Just spent about an hour sifting through the libraries & other threads looking for a notice of action letter to send to Barclays, have re-read LBA letter & it looks as if we don't send them another one! do we just sit back and wait now without making any further contact with Barclays? Sorry having a dim moment!:rolleyes:

Yes, now that you filed your claim, you have to wait for Barclays to acknowledge which they have to do within 14 days, and then they normally wait for another 14 days and file a defence. Then the court will send out the Allocation Questionnaires to each side, and once those are returned to the court, a judge will decide on a hearing date.

 

From now on you dont really have to make any more contact with Barclays, unless of course they contact you to settle in full

That would be a nice thought, but after following everyone elses stories I dont think thats likely still we can hope. Still we've got our Morgan Stanley, Barclaycard, MBNA & Abbey to keep us busy now. Thanks everyone for your advice & support :razz:

Apparently all Moneyclaim On Line go through Northampton initially but if it goes to court then it will be a nearer one to you (or so Ive read!!)

Big Al I've been reading your Woolwich thread, if yours is anything to go by it'll be a long wait.....Reckon we'll be looking forward to the clocks going forward by the time ours goes to court!! Cant honestly see the nice people at Barclays actually crediting our account with the 950.00 think it'll be a "sod off see you in court" letter that we get next. Oh well it'll give me some time to chase up hubbys credit card charges I suppose! and so the fight goes on....

Have just typed the response to settlement offer & then smugly put it in the pre-paid envelope they supplied for our "full & final acceptance form" - I don't think so! Will send it recorded delivery tomorrow, hopefully they'll think it's an acceptance - cheapskates - & open the letter sooner rather than later..

Yes it'll will probably be a long winter, but just think when you have reclaimed your charges how brightly the sun will shine for the rest of the year.

We received a letter from Barclays on 25th to say they were sorry we didn't want to accept the 950.00 offered, but they wouldn't make it as an interim payment as it was a goodwill gesture , if we'd like to reconsider & accept and sign their original offer letter blah blah all the usual dross, we didn't bother to acknowledge the letter. Checked online this morning and Barclays have acknowledged the claim so we guesse thats another 2 weeks wait & then they'll submit their defence at the last knockings.
