    • Just a typo change that I'd make for the last line. Maybe also add something that says "I assume you will be fully aware that you cannot rely on a clause of a contract that you do not produce."
    • Hello, Firstly, and most importantly I am sorry for your loss. I would go back to the bank with the death certificate and ask them to step in. Remind them firmly but politely that there is no limit for DD claims   Please let us know how you get on.
    • My wife is the named person to his bank account with him having Dementia being his daughter (I say named person she still is but he recently passed away and the deputyship application has now being stopped by the solicitor as it's no longer needed) We've only just got the Death Certificate so the bank will be the next step informing them. She went to the bank and explained the situation but even being his named person the bank said she didn't have the power to stop DD without any legal documents (virgin money) was the bank. She could have copies of bank statements that was about it.
    • I see you said you tried to stop the DD but it seems that didn't work. May I please ask why that didn't work? You should be asking your bank to cancel the DD and I don't see why they would have objected, hopefully you can clarify this. I agree that you should be making a claim here against your bank and ask them for a DD refund. There is no timeframes for this.
    • JK: Yeah That's correct. We left rent payment coming out of his bank account from January 2023 - August 2023 until we could find somewhere to sort out his belongings which was fine. I tried to give notice a few times from August 2023 asking for advice from Sanctuary housing how we went about this explaining his condition and that he was in a Nursing home from December 2022. I explained we don't have any legal powers to his account like POT but were in the process of going for Deputyship and that I was the named person to act on his behalf to speak with Santuary housing. I said we could provide details of his condition and proof he was now in a nursing home with date he moved in. This went ignored despite repeated attempts to contact them until a housing manager contacted us end of February 2024 and notice was finally accepted with his tenancy coming to an end March 22 2024. Although they have continued to take rental payments for the flat despite someone else living in it from the 1st April. I wasn't aware payments were still being taken till I checked his May banks statements. I had asked them to back date rental payments to August 2023 when I gave notice rather than just giving notice in March 2024 but they've ignored that bit. I don't see why they shouldn't give it back they've taken money they shouldn't have. Thanks DX, I wasn't aware we could do that for that length of time. I'll ask my wife to check with the bank this week

    • 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.

Thank you so much for organising my thread for me Bookworm, I was getting lost!

 

I have just received a court date of 24th August, asked to submit any evidence that I intend to rely on etc

 

I'm sending correspondence, schedule of charges, relevant case law summary, etc (court bundle) tomorrow.

 

**Having a bit of a nightmare though, until I get home tonight, I am unsure where my copy statements are as this has been going on so long (we've moved twice!) If I can't find them, am I stuffed?

I thought my schedule of charges was a summary of all those statements, oops! Lets hope I can find them??!!**

Can anyone please help me?

Urgently trying to put together my court bundle and I have realised a MASSIVE ERROR on my part. When I submitted my claim to the court I also said I was claiming for a certain amount i.e. money owed plus interest. What I didnt do is adjust the amount in interest owed from my original schedule of charges, therefore the amount now differs in interest.

 

I've totally mucked this up I think.

Now I am putting together the court bundle should I do a new schedule?

What date should I do the interest to?

At the moment it has never changed from my original letter to barclays (sent beg. of year!) so now i am owed more interest, but this changes my overall claim amount with the court.

 

I have just been asked to submit bundle so I have time to do what I need, but I really need some URGENT guidance please. court date 24th July*

sorry - court date August 24th!

 

What on earth do I do now?

Do I leave the charges as they are & hope that Barclays don't win on the technicality of me not adding up the interest correctly?

 

Or do I re-submit my schedule of charges with interest up until now?

 

Am I going for the set amount that the bank owe us in charges then the interest is automatically added or does the court award the amount that I submit to the court on my schedule?

 

Sorry this is getting complicated now, I am panicking.:(

Your charges have remained the same ... its only the interest that has gone up which is what it should do because you are claiming interest from the date that the charge was incurred they will be expecting the interest to have gone up ...... any SOC's that you send from now should include the interest upto the date of issue

thank you for your quick reply, but what about when I sent my N1 form in?

 

I'm sure I had to state the amount I was claiming in full including the interest, now the full amount claimed is going to be massively different?? or am I missing the point?!

 

Also which one is the date of issue? Is the the 1st response from court to my N1?

 

Sorry for being such a pain, I'm really regretting calling my self clued up all that time ago when I started this!

Have I got this right.

 

In October(ish) you sent a schedule inc interest withe the prelim and LBA and when you filed in Dec you claimed the same amount of interest as per the Prleim and LBA SoC.

 

In other words you didn't up date the interest to the date you filed and therefore haven't claimed for the additional interest between Prelim letter and date of filing ie a couple of months maybe?

yes thats right, it been best part of 6 months now. But more importantly, the amount I claimed on my schedule that I sent in with my N1 form is the interest up to last year when I first used the spreadsheet, not up to the date of issue.

If I forego 6-7 months interest, will my claim still stand up in court? I'm worried that Barclays will do the calculations themselves and discover that mine don't add up? I don't mind about losing the extra interest, it's my fault for taking so long with this.

 

I really don't want to amend my claim, as I don't think it's wise to rock the boat this near to the court date and I am worried that it will change the outcome. (also don't know what's involved in this process)

 

Shall I just carry on as I was; preparing the court bundle with the old figures? (I'll be guided by your experience, won't hold you to it though!) Do you think I've got a realistic chance of success with the case if I leave everything as it is??

 

Thank you for your help on this.

Yes

You think they're going to complain that they are having to settle for lees than they need to?

It's not rocking the boat and won't alter the fact that they will settle in full. But it may delay your claim slightly

 

(also don't know what's involved in this process)

 

Not difficult for someone who's clued up :D

 

 

Do you think I've got a realistic chance of success with the case if I leave everything as it is??

Yes and the answer is the same if you amend

Right, I reckon this is going to be the last question that I ask on this site before I shout "hallelujah, case won" (I hope)

 

My court bundle (x3 copies) is ready to submit.

 

It says in the FAQs;

Q. The bank has responded and left me no choice - I am now prepared to go to court. Where should I address the court papers?

A. You can send it to any of their registered addresses. Sending it to the branch or the Head Office is the norm.

1) I keep one copy for me, I send one into the court and I send one copy to Barclays Head office. -Is this right? Should I address it to someone specific and should it go recorded delivery? (I will post court copy by hand)

 

2) I will header the bundle with "MR X v Barclays Bank", "court name, claim no. & date of hearing" and "copy of the documents I intend to rely on at the hearing".

 

I know this seems like a silly question, but is this everything I need to do?

Don't want to think about this claim anymore, just want it over with and all the docs submitted!!!:-|

Hi everyone!

 

OK so we're in court this Friday (I'm speaking on behalf of my partner) & I feel nervous now!

 

Since he moved his banking over to "Abbey" and stopped using this account, (as advised) he has had nothing but grief and problems from Barclays. I spent an hour on the phone to a call centre manager last night trying to sort out a total cock up with his Barclayloan.

 

GET THIS...

He tried to take the protection off his B.loan months ago, they wouldn't do this- said he needed a new unprotected loan & they would pay of old loan with these funds. Instead, they put a load of cash (£4500) in his current account instead of paying off his loan, this wasn't even enough to cover the old loan anyway, so there it is sitting in his account! PLUS he has 2 loans going & 2 DDs set up for nearly £400 a month!

 

I registered a complaint, they said it would take 5-7 days to resolve this problem. I mentioned that I would be highlighting this incident of Barclays' incompetence when we see them in court re; bank charges-

 

His reply, " I don't think so Madam, every case is on hold pending an investigation, so you won't be seeing us in court for a while" (in a really sarcastic voice)

To my delight, I replied "ah but I have a court date of Friday this week"

 

The mood changed to say the least -a polite, helpful Manager emerged! I said I had given Barclays ample opportunity to respond to my claim and I was really looking forward to Friday! God I hope I win now!!

 

WILL BARCLAYS ACTUALLY TURN UP TO COURT ON FRIDAY? WILL THEY SEND A STATEMENT TO BE READ OUT INSTEAD? IF THEY DON'T TURN UP DOES THE CASE AUTOMATICALLY GET THROWN OUT & I WIN?

SHOULD I MENTION ALL THE LITTLE INCIDENTS THAT HAVE HAPPENED THIS YEAR IN COURT?

 

WHAT IS THE LIKELY OUTCOME OF MY CASE AT THE MOMENT? (given the changes in response from Barclays).

 

Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Love you all x

:)

CUGirl,

 

I would avoid mentioning the various incidents as they are irrelevant to your Court case and may not impress the Judge.

 

Concentrate on the Reclaim of Charges that you've filed for and read here - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/17065-application-removal-stay-updated.html#post1046820 - so you are ready if Barclays apply to have the case Stayed. Print off and take 3 copies of post #2.

 

Also, read here for inspiration - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/barclays-bank/110829-court-case-next-week.html.

 

Good luck, Slick

Thank you for advice/threads.

 

I want to speak on behalf of my partner in court, even though this is his case, he feels unable to speak in public about something he really doesn't understand. Due to his dyslexia etc I have handled this whole case from the start, writing letters etc. and I feel confident to speak in court on his behalf.

 

Does anyone know the procedure for this?

Should he stand up and ask if I can speak on his behalf?

Should we compile a letter that states he wants me to speak for him to hand to the judge?

Should I have done this before court date?

 

Any ideas?? I know this is a bit odd, but he really can't do this on his own.

If you explain to the Court Usher when you arrive (early) at the Court, that it's your BF's case but you are speaking for him and give the Usher your name.

 

The Judge should be fine hearing from you on behalf of your BF and good luck.
