    • By not sticking to the deadline which you set you have lost credibility. Your letter of claim becomes one of hundreds of others which they receive and which they put in the bin because they think that you are just bluffing.  
    • 05.05.24 Ever so sorry if I have entered this in the wrong part of this website.   My grandfather is in his 70's and retired.  He asked me to help him find a work pension that he was paying into when he was working. From 1967 - 1982 he worked for a Fabric Dying Company, Celanese, Spondon Derby UK. I have already used the GOV.uk Trace Pension Scheme. It listed a few pension companies : Akzo Nobel (CPS) Pension Scheme formerly Courtaulds Pension Scheme.  I do not fully understand how this works but I think this scheme is administer by a company called Willis Tower Watson. We have called this company, got through to the pension department submitted all my grandfather's details (D.O.B. , N.I. no. etc.) but that agent tells that they have no record of my grandfather and ask what is the name of the pension scheme. Here is the problem, his home was burgalled in 2005 and a briefcase which contained his legal documents was stolen. So he does not know who was the Pension Scheme company. I have a this phone number 01332 681 210 for Celanese but it just rings and never gets answered. So I am asking for help if anyone can tell us where we can try next. I am also hoping for a massive long shot that one of them members on this website, worked for or knows someone who worked for British Celanese Spondon Derby and could tell us of any pension company. Thanks for any help.
    • Well I sent them the letter of claim, the only responses so far was a few emails reopening the claims on the parcels where they asked for information such as proof of value (which I get) but other things like photos of the parcels, which I haven't got as I never took photos of them. It's been well over the 14 days since I sent the letter now anyway, so what do you think I should do now?
    • Know it has already been answered, but? Does not explain why JCI has registered a different default date when they get the information from the original creditor, Virgin

    • 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,

Starting a new thread to record my potential reclaim journey,

 

Had a bank account and CC and Personal Loan with FD which were amalgamated into one loan for repayment

with the help of CAB in approx. 2001 for a fixed monthly amount - finally paid off in 2012!

 

I have the majority of cc statements pre 2001 which have credit cover premiums on each month,

I also have several letters and agreements regarding the amalgamation and a heap of bank statements pre 2000,

and most of the statements during the amalgamation period 2001 to 2012.

 

I recently requested SAR with template letter from CAG to FD

and received a letter from the Data Security FD with the original open new account form dated 1997

and nothing else as they say the account was closed more than 6 years ago so no information is held, with return of fee !!!

 

At first I was dismayed regarding the lack of information supplied,

however in hindsight I now seem to be in a better position than FD regarding information on charges etc.

I am going through the rest of my archives to see if I can locate any further information, missing statements etc.

 

So my questions are is credit cover premium something which can be reclaimed?

 

if so how would I ascertain the amounts to reclaim due to gaps in statements,

I have three years worth with approx. 14 missing,

so far the credit cover premiums add up to nearly £180

 

Would I then be able to average out bank charges applied to account and details on ppi for PL (I've yet to find the PL agreement) ?

 

These accrued charges have obviously been added to the total debt which I have repaid over 10-12 years, so how do I deal with that part?

 

Sorry if I rambled, surrounded by paperwork and trying to make sense of it in my head as I dig around.

 

Thanks for any suggestions/clarification that may be forthcoming.

you wont be able to reclaim PENALTY fees outside of 6yrs anyhow. unless you want to do court !

 

as for the CCP, yes its PPI

and yes you can use an avg of those payments you know for the ones you dont.

so the CC was rolled with other debts into the new loan?

 

if so you'll have rolover of PPI into the loan too

 

so even more will be owed.

 

did the loan have PPI or if within 6yrs any PENALTY fees applies

have yet to locate the original agreement,

but as CAB was involved and I was and still am disabled,

I doubt that would have been a part of the negotiation,

 

however the original agreement was for a year and we had to submit financial statements each year for a few years,

so who knows if that changed..

 

.there may have been occasional penalty fees in the duration of repayments.

 

Am excavating paperwork as I type!

Do I use the CIsheet v101 spread sheet aka compound interest Calculator to enter my CCP details into,

and if so where it says APR do I use the apr mentioned on the first statement?

In this case it's 19.5%?

Anyone?

 

Ths is link to the spreadsheets I'm referring to although they are described well, I'm not sure which I shoul/could be using.

To update since digging through all archives.

 

had the credit card for 5 yrs I have majority of statements ,

those missin I can cross check with corresponding bank statements for amounts paid,

which give me minimum payment, so I can more or less avg what the CCP payments were.

 

The majority of the final year's statements are missing so I can use the last known balance on last statement

and the final amount which was amalgamated to cheque account and banking facilities removed,

have scan of letter, and this then produced an agreement this is also scanned,

to correspond with negotiation made by CAB of 25 per month repayment.

 

There is no ppi mentioned on the year agreement dated 2001 amount was approx 2,600

 

I recall filling in financial statements in subsequent years, and the repayment amount remained the same as I was on benefits. No agreements.

 

However I have another agreement dated 2008 ( would his be to cover their behinds after court rulings on ppi etc)

and this covered the whole remaining balance 2008 to 2012 setting out the last amount owed approx 950 .

Looking at this agreement it's the same a managed loan. (My son had one so recognise type of agreement, now)

 

Have yet to scan this, but can if anyone needs to see it.

 

Strange that FD data protection officer was unable to supply any SAR info except original application to open account dated 1996 as they said account closed over six yrs ago!

(Even though I had a repayment of 25 per month from 2001 to 2012!)

 

hopefully this put me in a better position having the info that I do?

Any help appreciated thanks

for the CC yes use the CISHEET

or the FOSCISHEET

their int rate

and use an avg figure for unknown months.

claim date should be set to the date the card was refinanced into the loan [closed the card account]

 

you then need the figure that was refinanced into the loan

 

and using the statint sheet

and no.1. below

workout the rollover of the PPI into the loan.

Hi dx, Thank you very much for your response.

re Credit card protection or CCP

Question follow.

 

1. Focusing on the CIsheet in d13 I put the claim date as the date on the refinance agreement but in the columns I put the actual date of charge from the statements?

 

I think filling in this part will keep me occupied for a while.

 

If I may, I will return for assistance on the next part if I can't figure it out.

 

Thanks again for swift assistance.

sure ask away

 

for the minute - just do the CC CCP payments for each month you know

 

D13 will be the date of the FIRST CPP payment

F13 date of refinance to the loan [closure date of CC]

D15 avg APR for the whole period of the card.

 

then find the avg CCP payment [the funny E symbol to right on col I

 

enter that figure for every month you do not have a statement for

between the above two dates

Hi dx,

Can I just clarify,

when I get to doing the avg using "the funny E symbol",

I am selecting the first missing field in this case i27 and clicking the sum E and it adds a figure,

do I then use this same figure for any further amounts missing in row i?

Thank you for continued patience and help, will soon be onto stage two....and more questions no doubt.

Hi dx,

 

Sorted now thanks. I applied average figure to those missing months.

 

Have uploaded a pdf (no personal details) for you to look over, if you don't mind.?[ATTACH=CONFIG]41869[/ATTACH]

 

One question from 11/99 on spread sheet the card was maxed 1,900

CCP was 73p per £100 during that period

I know the last missing amounts are between (18 x 73) £13.14 would be no more than (21 x 73) £15.33 when the card was amalgamated to loan it was nearly 2200

 

So can I alter and use an average of these figures for those remaining months.?

 

Do I now do the rollover Statintsheet just using the dates from 1/02/2001 to today? and use the "total of charges" figure arrived at for on previous sheet?

 

Thanks
