    • Thank you very much for your letter in regard to the above mentioned shipment.  Due to the high volume of parcels coursing through the courier network each day, undergoing continuous processing and handling, certain packages may experience delays or even can get lost in the course of this journey. Please note that due to the time that has passed, this shipment has been declared as lost.  I have today processed the claim and made offers to the value of £75 as a goodwill gesture without prejudice. I do acknowledge that you have mentioned in your letter that the value was higher, however, you did not take out any protection to that amount. The protection for this shipment was £20 and we will not be increasing our goodwill offer any further.    Please log into your account online in order to accept our offer. Once accepted, our accounts department will process the claim accordingly. The claim payment will be processed and received within 7 working days.                                  In addition, a refund of the carriage fee will be processed as a separate payment and will be received within 3 working days.  If I can further assist, please feel free to contact me.   I have also just noticed that yesterday afternoon they sent me an email stating that "after my request" they have refunded the cost of shipping. I did not request the refund so will mention that in my letter as well.
    • Hi I had to leave Dubai back in 2011, during the financial crisis. And only now have I received a letter from IDRWW. Is this anything to worry about about as I have 2 years left until it’s been 15 years(statute barred in Dubai). Worried as just got a mortgage 2 years ago. Could they force me in to bankruptcy? Red lots of different threads on here. And unsure what true and what isn’t. 
    • Not that TOR will see this now he's thrown in the hand grenade. Rayner has plenty of female supporters on X, for a start. As for the council and HMRC, fair enough and I thought Rayner was already in touch with them. That's where it should be dealt with, not the police force. @tobyjugg2 Daniel Finkelstein thinks the same as you about tax. The Fiver theory.

    • Often with the Likes of Lowells/ Overdales that 'proof' doesn't stand up to scrutiny.   Think about it like a game of poker, they want to intimidate you into folding and giving up as soon as possible, and just get you to pay up and roll over, that is their business model, make you think your cards are rubbish. What they don't expect, and their business isn't set up for it, is for a defendant to find this place and to learn that they have an amazing set of cards to play. Overdales don't have an infinite number of lawyers, paralegals etc, and the time / money to spend on expensive court cases, that they are highly likely to lose, hence how hard they will try to get you to roll over.  Even to the extent of faking documents, which they need to do because the debts that they purchased were so cheap, in the first place. Nevertheless it works in most cases, most people chicken out, when they are so close to winning, and a holding defence is like slowly showing Overdales your first card, and a marker of intention that this could get tricky for them. In fact it may be,  although by no means guaranteed that it won't even go any further than that.  Even if it does, what they send you back will almost certainly have more holes than Swiss Cheese, and if with the help you receive here, you can identify those weaknesses and get the whole thing tossed in the bin.

    • 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.

Well, after reading thread after thread I have complied my letter, all ready to post next Monday (recorded of course) to start my attempt to reclsaim almost £3,300 in charges and interest.

 

I started a week or so ago with arequest for information under the Data Protection Act, the the good old bank, well it's computer kindly churned out no less that 43 seperate letters of nice crisp duplicate statements (god knows what postie thought) and not a mention of any charges for that sackful.

 

I few hours deciphering and I was gob smacked at just how much thay had gleaned from me !!

I'm very nervous of the possible bully boy tactics I may unleash care of the HSBC 'henchmen' (closing my account etc after over 25 years), but what the hell, £3k is a lot of dosh to mish out on. I will certainly keep the forum posted on my progress.

 

03/10/06 request for all charges info under data protection act

13/10/06 43 envelopes of copy statements arrive FOC !!

16/10/06 prelim claim posted - recorded delivery

18/10/06 prelim confirmed delivered per trackback

Make sure you don't make the mistake made by lots of others on here - as your account was opened before 1995 you should not use the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 in your claim, if it gets to that stage. Apparently amendments are underway to the user guides on this site but until then just thought I'd make you aware of it!

Hi Bong,

 

Thanks for the advice - I'm new to this, only found this site via a link from Best credit cards, cheap mortgages, personal loans, savings accounts, house & car insurance - The Motley Fool UK - been reading threads ever since (anyone got any advice on dealing with the possible divorce due to being on the PC too much LOL)

Hi,

 

I have sent my prelim letter using the template, recored, received by 'them' on 16th Oct (early days yet I know) just reading up on the next stage - sending my LBA !

 

What are the implications of adding these para's per your template for an account opened in 1981 ?? :confused:

 

 

"I require repayment in full of this money. If you do not comply fully within 14 days then I shall begin a claim against you for the full amount plus interest plus a claim under ss.7 and 13 of the Data Protection Act 1998 plus my costs and without further notic"

 

"Furthermore, I shall submit a Consumer Credit Act 1974 complaint to the OFT upon the basis that you have failed to comply with the OFT's direction of 5 April 2006 and are therefore not a 'fit and proper person' to hold a consumer credit licence under the 1974 Act. If you do not understand what this means then seek advice from your legal department"

Any help or advice greatly appreciated !

p.s great site, can we tackle fuel, council tax, and BACS clearing bank consnext ?? LOL ;)

Hi Lateralus,

 

Great that's the shorter of the two options then ( iknow, patience, patience)

But I'm wearing the door mat out with all the letter box checking LOL

 

Haveing read 100's of posts in here now, it seems that the bank may submit a defence, although not 100%, are there any threads that sugest what to do next if they go down that route. I'm just trying to stay one step ahead.

I'm no legal buff, and just feeling the usual paranioa ?

hi steve, even if they defend - it doesn't mean it will go to court. it just buys them extra time and really, i've read loads of threads and only a couple seem to have got to an actual court date - and even those will probably be settled before it gets to that. i stand by the timetable i put on david's thread. but to clarify - if it gets right up to the 28th day, you try to press the judgment button - but mostly you can't as they will have filed a defense on the last day. at that point, two things are going on simultaneously: you are dealing with dg, probably sent a breakdown at their request, then been given a lower offer, you reject and they will mostly likely offer 100%, you accept and when you have the money, you cease your claim with the court. at the same time, they file a defense to get more time, you will be sent by the court a change of venue to your local court, a copy of their "defense" (just piddle - it's always the same thing) and an allocation questionaire. there will be a deadline given when the aq has to be filed - my advice is don't file it until the last minute but if you do, remember to add the £100 fee on to your claim. it also gives you a little clout - to say to dg that you will be filing your aq shortly and it will mean even more money on your claim. and at the risk of repeating myself - this is absolutely the worst part - after you've filed, waiting to hear from dg (once you have heard the first offer, you are home free, else why would they offer anything if "they felt they would win in court" which is what they always say. just take up knitting or sudokus or something to kill another couple of days. third week of the mcol - breakdown request.

keep us posted.

Hey Steve, I know exactly how you feel about being nervous. A few months ago, I had heard of people claiming their bank charges back and was 100% sceptical. But now after reading these forums intensively I'm sooooo confident that I'm gonna take them to the cleaners. So should you be!

 

I know you're disappointed that they acknowledged, but at least it is another step along the correct path. And at least you know you've done everything right and they are in receipt of your claim.

 

Good luck, let us know how it goes.

Hi Abba,

Yes I suppose I have some comfort in that, I was so hoping they would 'overlook' my MCOL and then I'd sneakly win by defaut lol

Thanks for the wishes, and I'll certainly keep the forum updated.

I just know they will enter a defence, so am already pre-armed with my response - it's certainly a waiting 'game' and it's killing LOL

 

Cheers, Steve.

Steve, as they have now acknowledged, you should have been sent the details of D&G solicitors (or you will be). It may be worth sending them a breakdown of the charges, as often they will reques this again as a stalling tactic. I was also advised to send a copy to the court in Northampton to go on my court file, so I did. It might be worth doing this, it can't do any harm.

Hi Abba,

I have already sent a 'schedule of charges' to the court, I did this as soon as the claim was issued :D

As far as sending a copy to D&G, I certainley will, but 'officially' I don't know about D&G 'yet' as soon as I do, i.e. I get a letter from them I will send it !!! ;)

 

Thanks for the help, good luck with your plight !!
