    • Would this be OK to send or is it too much detail already ?   "In response to your letter dated  xxx Intention of Prosecution reference xxxxxx I would like to advise that no collision / accident took place at the given date / time / location. There was however an altercation with the driver of a commercial vehicle who punched and kicked my car, verbally abused me when I stopped and acted in a distinctive threatening and aggressive manner. I advised I would be reporting him to his company for threatening behaviour and vandalism for punching and kicking my car whilst driving past in the road. When I tried to take a photo of his number plate, he came towards me in a further aggressive and threatening manner, so I decided to retreat into my car and lock the doors before he could reach me, as I was frightened he may assault me. I drove off and when I checked my phone later , the photo was regrettably unusable, as the camera couldn’t focus properly when I rushed back to my car. So I decided not to report him for his threatening behaviour and actions, as at the time I believed he would be untraceable anyway. So I am not sure if the accusations against me are in relation to this altercation, but no actual collision took place at this time , date and location as alleged in your letter"  
    • They have been sending messageslike " Do you want a refund or not"  which ive said im at work just try and avoid their childish obstuctive replies as ive had enough of them but i plan on going up tomorrow , so my question is,  they have to give me a refund dont they, they can not bargain or refuse the refund if they havent checked the phone first ? Their previous messages have said they want to check the phone first before a refund is given and i think theyll try this tomorrow as they have argued all through this .... If that happens can i just walk away and then send the letter of Particulars which is due next week ? Edit :   Just for the record the phone hasnt been used since buying its been put in a protective bag and put in a draw , its in the same condition as i bought it
    • To be fair ,  she has responded and said she's on holiday but returns Sunday and will bank transfer when she returns and i think i believe her.

They will be using bin lorries which have signal detection equipment installed, and thus able to create a comprehensive map of mobile 'not-spots' in the area, since those vehicles will be visiting just about every property in the area on their usual rounds.

    • Hi there   thank you for the reply. No, it's not a silly question at all. I am convinced I didn't hit anything with my car. I was going very slowly and it was the guy standing next to his lorry in the road who punched and kicked my car as I went by. It's cause I saw him do it in the mirror.  I initially thought he did it because he thought I was passing him maybe too closely whilst he was messing around with his lorry ?  That's why I stopped and got out and asked what he thought he was doing hitting my car. He then just hurled abuse at me. Not making any accusations such 'you hit me' 'you hit my lorry' or you did this or that. He just swore and shouted at me. At which point I said I would be making a complaint to his company for his threatening behaviour and vandalism for punching my car. I went to my car , got my phone to take a photo of his number plate but then he came towards me again and I thought if he now hits me I am going to come second. I am a woman in her mid 50s travelling on her own and this guy looked like a Millwall football supporter (short, rotund, skin head) so I decided to leave this situation. I got back in my car closed the door and drove off before he could reach me.  I later checked my phone and noticed the photo was too blurred, as I turned and rushed back to my car too quickly before the camera could focus. So I thought it was pointless making a complaint as the guy couldn't be traced anyway, so I forgot all about it until yesterday. But this is all I can think of, it must have to do with this incident as it is in the same street.

    • 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 Guys,

i was looking through my old financial files and found an old paid off loan i had with HSBC, now i know that there's been a lot of noise in regards to PPI's and getting the extra paid back.

 

the loan was taken out in 2001 and then re-packaged with the same terms in 2002 - the loan is fully paid nothing is outstanding, but now looking through the old paper work i can see that i was paying for

 

"Credit protection insurance" would i be wrong in assuming that this is not PPI?

and if it is PPI payment how do i go about claim back the money which in the initial loan was 8k and £2,311.67 was added as Credit Protection Insurance Loan on the 7-08-2001 & when it was repackaged it was£8,670 £2,495.56 added as Credit Protection Insurance Loan on the 19th of Nov 2002.

 

I'm curious to know if i have a case and if yes can you please advise on how i can engage with HSBC to get this money back? i really don't want to use one of the firms that advertise on the telly since i don't think they can't be trusted.

 

Any advise is welcome please, i have signed paper work but per say its classed as Credit protection insurance and not Payment protection insurance.

 

Cheers Red11

Hi

 

You are 100% right in not using a claims company.

 

Can you say what reasons you might be using for a mis-sale please?

 

You can easily take these people on yourself but let's get to why it may have been mis-sold first.

 

Thanks

Hi ims21,

at the time i was advised to take out the insurance as it was needed protection in case i lost my job, which never happen, also i seem to recall that the loan without the protection was far more expensive

Aha

 

So not only were you were effectively told to take out the insurance but also that they would have penalised you with a higher interest rate had you not taken it.

 

OK so standard procedure would be to complete a fos consumer questionnaire (available from the fos website here http://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/publications/technical_notes/ppi.html).

 

In addition it would be wise to complete a spreadsheet of claim. Have you got the agreement and record of payments for each loan?

 

Also have a read of No.1 in my signature.

Hi ims21,

thanks for your reply got both original agreements the one signed on 7th of August 2001 and then the repackaged agreement dated 19th of Nov 2002, as for record of payments there where DD payments on the 1st loan £213.22 per month and on the second loan £231.16

 

when you say complete a spreadsheet of claims - can you please be a tad more specific?

Yes, sorry...if you have a read of No.1 in my signature the relevant spreadsheets are at the end. The article at No.1 in my signature will give you the information you need to have a go at the calculations.

 

If/when you get stuck...shout here.

if there is such a thing as time constrains of 6 year to post a claim with my loan dated 2001 and 2002 i've possibly missed the boat..

 

Sorry...missed this one.

 

There is no time limit on PPI claims so don't worry about that.

 

ok, PPI form done, i assume that it needs to be printed and sent over to the FOS i also did the spreadsheet, what happens next? after i send the form to the fos?

 

Your initial approach is to the lender who will have 8 weeks to investigate and give you a decision. Send them the completed fos questionnaire and a print of the spreadsheet together with a brief letter of enclosure requiring a refund.

 

Send it recorded delivery if you can so that you know that they have received it.

cheers for that, couple of questions if i may

 

1) should i send it to any Branch of HSBC? or the local branch where the actual loan was taken out?

2) should i be adding the agreements that i have (of course photo copied)

3) what happens if i get fobbed off (which might be the easier option for them)

If it were me I would send it to their head office

Would do no harm but make sure they get the copies and you keep the originals

 

3) what happens if i get fobbed off (which might be the easier option for them)

 

You can always challenge their decision so cross that bridge when you come to it. There are many documented successes here where the bank have tried a "fob off" but have caved in when challenged.

forgive me here, but the head office is in Canary Wharf and its operational with no complaints department, a PPI form with some personal info the chances are that it will fall in the bin of some sort, would it be better perhaps call them and ask for their complaint department?

Canada Square is head office and registered office.

 

That address should get you a signature on delivery.

 

The PPI complaints department is a PO Box number and in my view one should never send recorded mail to a PO box.

 

Up to you but I would bet they have bins at all their addresses.

 

Personally I have always used the registered office addresses and not had a problem.

done all the paper work but i was looking/wondering if there is a template letter that i could use to accompany the form and the spreadsheet

 

 

No there is no template.

 

It is just a simple letter saying something along the lines of ....

 

"I consider that I have been mis-sold PPI on my account(s) numbered xxxxxx so please find enclosed a completed fos questionnaire and my spreadsheet of workings of the amount due. I look forward to hearing from you within the permitted 8 weeks"

 

Nothing fancy just a "here it is, get on with it" type letter.

Hi guys,

happy Easter everyone.. just a curiosity I've sent all my info regarding the PPI to HSBC. On the 6th of April it will be 8 weeks and still radio silence from the bank, or their PPI department (if they have such place) what would be the next step? if any.

 

Cheers

Check RM online, to see if pack was signed for!

Recorded is not a tracked service and not guaranteed delivery, goes in with normal mail, and easy for it to be 'lost'

Special Delivery is the way to go as its tracked
