    • Hello CAG Team, I'm adding the contents of the claim to this thread, but wanted to open the thread with an urgent question: Do I have to supply a WS for a claim with a court date that states " at the hearing the court will consider allocation and, time permitting, give an early neutral evaluation of the case" ? letter is an N24 General Form of Judgement or Order, if so, then I've messed up again. Court date 25 May 2024 The letter from court does not state (like the other claims I have) that I must provide WS within 28 days.. BUT I have recently received a WS from Link for it! making me think I do need to!??
    • Massive issues from Scottish Power I wonder if someone could advise next steps. Tennant moved out I changed the electric into my name I was out the country at the time so I hadn't been to the flat. During sign up process they tried to hijack my gas supply as well which I made it clear I didn't want duel fuel from them but they still went ahead with it. Phoned them up again. a few days later telling them to make sure they stopped it but they said too late ? had to get my current supplier to cancel it. Paid £50 online to ensure there was money covering standing charges etc eventually got to the flat no power. Phoned Scottish Power 40 minutes to get through they state I have a pay as you go meter and that they had set me up on a credit account so they need to send an engineer out which they will pass my details onto. Phone called from engineer asking questions , found out the float is vacant so not an emergency so I have to speak to Scottish Power again. Spoke with the original person from Scottish Power who admitted a mistake (I had told her it was vacant) and now states that it will take 4 weeks to get an appointment but if I want to raise a complaint they will contact me in 48 hours and it will be looked at quicker. Raised a complaint , complaints emailed me within 24 hours to say it will take 7 days till he speaks with me. All I want is power in the property would I be better switching over to EON who supply the gas surely they could sort it out quicker? One thing is for sure I will never bother with Scottish Power ever again.    
    • Hi. Please don't follow McD's advice to contact Met to appeal. They won't listen and you could end up giving them helpful information. HB

    • 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 heres another one I have dug up some info on.

 

I had some loans with them a few years ago, got 1 then increased with another and so on. Again I can remember them forcing me to take the PPI or I wouldn't get the loan.

 

I have sent a letter to my branch just telling them to get the paperwork ready as I have sent a CCA to head office asking for copies of the agreements.

 

Tick Tock, Tick Tock.

 

I am guessing this will be a biggy. They were true sharks this lot.

Hi

 

Yes this is exactly what happened to me with Associate/Citiloans. Had a sizeable loan with them and they forced me to take out PPI otherwise wouldn't get the loan. Am going to proceed with the DPA letter and see what goes from there. I think they charged me near 1000.00 for PPI that I never used even though I was made redundant!!

 

Sharks...the lot of them!

Question for you - when you re-finance a loan are they supposed to give you back some of the interest from the first loan?

 

I had a loan for 5 years and re-financed it after three, but they did not re-calculate the interest, therefore they earnt the interest for the loan of five years, when I only had it for three and then the new interest on the new loan. Is that right? :?:

Yes I believe you are correct. Same thing happened to me. Re-financing existing amount (which is made up of the monthly instalments) then adding an advance plus the PPI. They are meant to confuse poor customers.

 

Whats so tragic was that I went to get a loan to clear my existing credit card debt....only to find out later that the interest rate I was paying to citiloan was HIGHER than the highest credit card interest rate I was paying!!! DOH! Wont be making that mistake again! Did they point that out to me when signing the agreement? Hell NO!

 

They are cheeky sods who will try and wring every penny out of you. Best bet is to request complete set of statements from them from day 1. (I haven't even started to set the ball rolling due to other 'wars' I having going on with other companies! lol!)

 

Would be good if we could start a new/separate thread/forum just for citifinacial loans? Judging by the hassle people are having with citicards (me included) we need to unite against them as they are not going to make it easier for us.

 

I paid off my citiloan 2 years back. They chatged me close to 1000.00 for the ppi. Its this I want to get back as they mis-sold it to me.

 

Lets go get them...however long it takes....Sharks and I hope they get massively fined by the FSA!

Yeah same happened to me too - think it was just the two loans with them but when I tried to say I didnt want PPI they then said I couldnt have the loans without it. When I said it was too expensive they came back with a lower PPI on one of the loans but I needed the money, was in their branch and knew I would get the money there and then. With one of the loans I tried to change my mind after I had signed it and they told me I couldnt cos I did it on their premises. I think thats a stupid law as I personally needed the money and they talked me into it, when I would have been cheaper trying someone else, even with my credit history. Everytime they phone you and see how you are doing they offer you a top up and they always tell you to 'pop in past the branch' No wonder! Seems like you sign away a lot of your rights that way!

 

Am away to draft up my cca and SAR to them for the loans - thought I had already done it but doesnt look like it from my files\records! Hopefully will post if by end of week.

Sent Citi my CCA request but no reply within 14 days.

 

Part way into ythe 14 days I sent them a prelim asking for my PPIs back on 3 loans, stated I could not supply the figures as I have not received the agreements but gave them the agreement numbers.

 

And early this week have sent them an LBA for the estimated amount as they still haven't sent agreements or any communications.

 

They have til tuesday next week,

 

But today I called the customer help(less) line and after they put me on hold for 2 x 10 minute periods they came back and said they could not find 2 of my agreements and the 3rd I could get from my local office. They are putiting this in writing.

 

Oh goodie. I am now going to have to read up more about what I do if they don't have an agreement....I think I have read stuff about getting all interest back. Nice!!! more homework.

 

ps, I loved phoning my local office and speaking to the manager who was very "distant" and just kept saying that the legal team were in constant communication with the branch.

 

I got a number for their legal department 0118 956 2423 & Customer Liason team 0800 0156 609

yes, you can claim your money back and have it put against the balance. I would also checkout the PPI if you took it as it was probably made a condition of you taking the loan and if it was then it was unlawful and you can claim it back. All of it from day 1 inc the APR they charged you.

 

Good luck. Let me know if you want the details I have sent to them in my letters climing my PPI back. I have calculated over the last 8 years they have raped me for over £25000, yes £25k:eek: I am going after every single penny, then after that I will make them recalculate my settlement figures and after that I will go for my unlawful fees. Oh goodie.
