    • Thanks for that. I will give them till Tuesday. Thanks for your help, very much appreciated. 
    • Ok thanks for that, well spotted and all duly noted. Yes they did eventually submit those docs to me after a second letter advising them I was contacting the ICO to make a formal complaint for failing to comply with an earlier SAR that they brushed off as an "administrative error" or something. When I sent the letter telling them I was in contact with the information commissioner to lodge the complaint, the original PCN etc quickly followed along with their excuse!
    • its not about the migrants .. Barrister Helena Kennedy warns that the Conservatives will use their victory over Rwanda to dismantle the law that protects our human rights here in the UK.   Angela Rayner made fun of Rishi Sunak’s height in a fiery exchange at Prime Minister’s Questions, which prompted Joe Murphy to ask: just how low will Labour go? .. well .. not as low as sunak 
    • From #38 where you wrote the following, all in the 3rd person so we don't know which party is you. When you sy it was your family home, was that before or after? " A FH split to create 2 Leasehold adjoining houses (terrace) FH remains under original ownership and 1 Leasehold house sold on 100y+ lease. . Freeholder resides in the other Leasehold house. The property was originally resided in as one house by Freeholder"
    • The property was our family home.  A fixed low rate btl/ development loan was given (last century!). It was derelict. Did it up/ was rented out for a while.  Then moved in/out over the years (mostly around school)  It was a mix of rental and family home. The ad-hoc rents covered the loan amply.  Nowadays  banks don't allow such a mix.  (I have written this before.) Problems started when the lease was extended and needed to re-mortgage to cover the expense.  Wanted another btl.  Got a tenant in situ. Was located elsewhere (work). A broker found a btl lender, they reneged.  Broker didn't find another btl loan.  The tenant was paying enough to cover the proposed annual btl mortgage in 4 months. The broker gave up trying to find another.  I ended up on a bridge and this disastrous path.  (I have raised previous issues about the broker) Not sure what you mean by 'split'.  The property was always leasehold with a separate freeholder  The freeholder eventually sold the fh to another entity by private agreement (the trust) but it's always been separate.  That's quite normal.  One can't merge titles - unless lease runs out/ is forfeited and new one is not created/ granted. The bridge lender had a special condition in loan offer - their own lawyer had to check title first.  Check that lease wasn't onerous and there was nothing that would affect good saleability.  The lawyer (that got sacked for dishonesty) signed off the loan on the basis the lease and title was good and clean.  The same law firm then tried to complain the lease clauses were onerous and the lease too short, even though the loan was to cover a 90y lease extension!!

    • 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.

I love this website and I am so looking forward to taking on the (b)!?**ankers! After reading so many horror and success stories, I have decided to take on the Natwest and the Alliance and Leicester. My preliminary letters will go tomorrow; luckily I have all my statements for the last however many years so I don't have to pay either of them a DPA fee. Cannot decide whether to take on my old car finance company but I shall see how it goes.

 

Anyway, best of luck to everyone; don't let them walk all over us!

LOL, Sarah

Hi

 

Welcome to the forum, the more people we have on board the more strength we have in our continuing fight against these unlawful charges.

 

All the best with your claims. Please keep us informed of your progress, and remember that we are all in this together. If you meet any problems, or have questions that are not answered elsewhere (and most have been), please post them to the forum.

I have sent my first letter to the Natwest today (track and trace of course). Luckily I do keep all of my statements however I was shocked to learn that they have taken £1453.00 from my bank account in the last three years. What is more annoying was the fact that we were so badly off we couldn't afford our bills never mind the charges.

 

Anyway I will keep you all posted about how I am getting on.

Hi All,

 

I don't know if anyone would be able to help me with this however I have to send in a Statement of Evidence to my local court and I notice that one of the documents I need to attach is a bank charge notification letter. I cannot seem to find any because I moved house and I think they have been lost in the move. Would a blank one from someone else suffice and would anybody be able to help me with this?

 

I look forward to hearing from anyone who can help me?

Regards,

Sarah5318

Hi folks,

 

I just wondered if anyone would be able to help me? I have received my court date to face NatWest on 23rd October and I needed a little help with the directions that the judge has ordered. They are as follows:

(a) A schedule of charges etc etc - have got this so no problem

(b) Copies of statements etc etc - have got all these so again no problem

© A statement of the Claimants own evidence - I have used this one http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/barclays-bcard-woolwich-successes/36692-peter-rabbit-barclays-success-2.html as Cobblers defence is based on the fact that I have not properly particularised the claim and so on. However the thing that I am a bit confused with is the fact that the judge has ordered that "decided cases and other legal materials should not be filed but brought to the hearing with additional copies for the Court and opposing party". Is this good? I am assuming it is because it means I have to print and photocopy less however it has thrown me a bit because it seems that there isn't a standard case as such because each judge orders differently.

 

I was hoping that someone would be able to confirm that I have used the correct statement of eveidence and also if they could let me know what I have to leave out of my court bundle if anything or will I just send everything that is in the zip file?

 

Looking forward to hearing from someone!

Many thanks,

Sarah5318

Hi Sarah,

 

I haven't looked at the above SoE, but you may want to compare it with post #49 in this thread here http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/natwest-bank/90742-natwest-terms-conditions.html. Also, have a look at post #31 on the same thread as Steven's written about natwest's t&c's and why they're penalty charges (every little bit of amunition helps!)

 

Have a look through here as well GOT A COURT DATE? A guide to the later stages as it explains what to take with you (as part of your documents/decided cases/legal materials) given the directions that the judge has ordered. You're basically putting a 'mini-bundle' together as opposed to the whole shabang, but the thread above explains what to include.

 

Hope that helps - post back if I've just confused you more though!!! ;)
