    • Well we can't predict what the judge will believe. PE will say that they responded in the deadline and you will say they don't. Nobody can tell what a random DJ will decide. However if you go for an OOC settlement you should still be able to get some money
    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • 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'm new on here and have tried to find the answers to my question but cannot find anything similar, so I'm hoping someone can advise.

 

I have just discovered I have been paying PPI insurance to Barclays since 1998. I have been advised I should contact the PPI dept in Barclays to say I've been mis-sold and to make a claim for a refund. However...I was made redundant last year Sept 11 - Jan 12 and had to use my redundancy pay to make my loan / credit card payments until I found a job.

 

If I had PPI all along can I make a claim for these payments rather than say I want to claim as mis-sold? The loan/credit card payments I presume will amount to more than the PPI itself.

 

If I can claim PPI because of redundancy, would it matter that Barclays was not my main banking facility for the loan and credit card payments?

 

I hope someone can help on this?

 

Many thanks

Loz

PPI policies are linked to specific accounts so yo can't claim on one to fund another.

 

If you were going to claim on any policy for redundancy then that should have been done at the time. However, you couldn't have done that because you have only just found out that you were paying PPI. So that in turn implies that the lender has added this to an account without your knowledge which can mean that the PPI was mis-sold.

 

Can you give us more details of which accounts you have PPI on?

The PPI is on my Barclays current account - so what would that insure me against?

 

So is the current account running on overdraft?

 

Does this insurance premium vary each month depending on the balance on the account or is it a fixed amount each month?

 

Are you sure it is PPI?

It is a current account that has been running on an overdraft - I settled the OD last month.

 

Have checked back on a couple of statements and it appears to be a fixed amount - I always thought this was part of the Additions account fee

 

I phoned Barclays this morning as I received a statement to say I was overdrawn even though I had not used the account and they told me it was the payment protection fee that caused the account to go overdrawn.

Thanks!

 

When I phoned on Saturday to query why my account was overdrawn and discovered that it was the PPI insurance, I was advised to call an 0500 number today and ask them to stop the payment and to say I have been mis-sold PPI. Before I follow this advice, any tips on what I should say to ensure success with the claim?

Personally I wouldn't do it on the phone.

 

Grab a copy of the fos consumer questionnaire from here

 

http://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/publications/technical_notes/ppi.html

 

Complete it and send it to Barclays with a brief covering letter. Send it by some trackable method so you know when they get it. They have 8 weeks from that point to investigate and give you a final decision. Within the fos form you will give your reasons as to why you feel this insurance was mis-sold.

Had a look at the form and the questions appear to try and elicit your situation at the time of taking out the insurance to ascertain if mis-sold?? However I wasn't aware I even had it and think the PPI was wrapped up in the selling of the Additions account, should I cite this as the reason for being mis-sold? Or should I say I was unaware I had even been sold it?

Yes you can say that it appears that this was all wrapped up in the sale of an account product but not specifically identified. As a result you were unaware that this insurance was put on to the account and was done so without your knowledge and/or authorisation.

Hi,

 

I sent a letter to Barclays along with the fos questionnaire and today I received a letter in response which said they had tried to call me to discuss my complaint. They had been calling an old number of mine, despite the fact I updated my phone details with them couple of months ago (to think these people manage our money and yet they can't keep basic records up-to-date). The letter asks me to call them - looking for advice from the experts here whether I should phone or try and keep all contact by letter so that I have a record? And is this usual practice from Barclays when dealing with PPI claims?

Keep it all in writing.

 

Drop them a line to say that you are aware that they have been trying to call you on this matter but there is no reason that this should be discussed on the phone and that you look forward to their written response to this matter.

Thank you! I thought that would be the advice but thought maybe via phone may speed it up. But on reflection the benefits of keeping a written account of all comms far outweighs a speedy resolution!

Just wanted to give a quick update - received a further letter from Barclays (which judging by the date, means our letters crossed and they therefore would not have received my reply to them to ask to keep all correspondence in writing).

 

Anyway - its a bog standard letter where they apologise I've had to contact them about the sale of the PPI, thank you etc. And that they will look into it and update/reply quickly as possible but no later than 11 January 2013.

 

They said they had enclosed leaflet explaining how they work to resolve complaints - which they didn't!

 

Keep you posted!

good

 

now going back to 1998 that should be in the £1000's

 

did you do any kind of spreadsheet to know if their figure is correct

I didn't do a spreadsheet but do intend to respond to ask them to provide calculations as they have not given any dates as to what period the refund covers. They are still deducting PPI so need to request they cancel and to make sure that the refund covers the entire period for the charges - so not completely resolved but its a start! My PPI premium was a small amount so unfortunately not in the 1000's but it all helps :)

I think the monthly premium was around £2.40 per month since 1998 (actual date not known).

 

Barclays have calculated £427.20 in PPI payments and included 8% per annum compensation (simple interest) which equates to £230.91. Still not sure how they got this figure??

 

Total refund £658.11.

 

Based on these figures what would you expect the refund to be?

ok well have a play.

 

This first spreadsheet is the latest version of the statutory interestlink3.gif calculator and is used for Single Premium PPIlink3.gif cases. It can also be used where rollover PPI is involved, i.e. a new loan re-financing a previous one and where PPI is included in one or more loans.

 

StatIntSheet v101.xls

 

put each payment in and its date

 

funny that...

 

i did £2.98 from 1/1/98 as a guess and it doubled it.

OK - I got access to the s/sheet and painstakingly filled in the date details - bet there was a formula I could have used to have made it quicker ;)

 

Based on Barclays PPI figure of £427.20 and if I start from 1/1/1998 this takes me up to 1/10/2012. The spreadsheet has calculated interest at £262.04 making the total £689.24. So there is a slight discrepancy which I can only assume they started from a later date in 1998?

 

I still don't see how it could be in the £1000's?
