    • Moneyclaim is going to court   Its how you do a claim     Do you believe that you will be able to cover the full amount from the 3 people youd want to claim against? 
    • I'm unsure about going to court because it takes a lot of time and can be stressful, and there's no guarantee of winning. I'll still ask legal for advice. NLRA suggested making a MoneyClaim, but I'm worried it might cause problems and end up spending more if goes wrong.         
    • If you have legal cover and insurance, you can try going ahead with your Insurer. They may be able to refer you to their "Legal Partner" but do your research.  If you know where 3 of them live, you can attempt to take them to court, but in todays climate, going legal will not get you the result of £15k that you are after.    Others may have their own input - But in reality you are asking for £5k from each of them - Might find it hard to recover that in a timely manner.  Like I said earlier - Your option maybe to take the hit now and factor it in to future tenancies. 
    • I have insurance that covers legal matters for this property, and I can confirm it with the insurance company. I also know where the tenants currently live, as all three have moved to the same place. There's been a lot of mold growing in the property over the past few months. All the builders who came to look at it think the mold grew because the windows were kept closed, lack of heating. In the past few months, they haven't used much gas or electricity, as shown by the smart meter I checked. Recent trace and access report says there's no water leak in the property. I have lots of photos from when I moved in until now. But in court, more people usually want to sue the landlord, not the other way around.
    • simply write to them, offering one months fee, give them 14 days to accept. if they sont accept, ignore everyone. Harlands too! and the extra £20 penalty is not allowed either. thread title updated. dx

    • 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.

Right to set off mastercard CC debt against other accounts - TSB/ Lloyds

Hi

 

I defaulted on my LloydsTSB Mastercard back in late 2008 (I lost my job of 15 years a few months before),

 

I paid the minimum £1.00 a month until summer 2010 when my debt was passed on to Robinson Way

and i've continued to pay them £1.00 a month and still do.

 

During this time I was diagnosed with Parkinsons and Type1 Diabetes and a few other things (Leg amputated) and am surviving on only sickness benefit.

 

My local LloydsTSB which is literally about 50 feet from my front door has recently been converted to a TSB branch

 

I decided to take the plunge and apply for their basic account because i'm tiring of travelling into town

to the nearest NatWest atm where i've banked since I left LloydsTSB or the nearest Post Office to draw my money out.

 

This is a question about the right to set off between accounts.

 

Can Lloyds raid my TSB account to pay towards my old credit card debt?

 

Do they even care about the debt anymore since they passed it on to someone else?

 

According to page 5 of these recent Lloyds/TSB transfer terms and conditions

they have waived the right to set-off between the two 'new' banks even while they both remain within the same banking group

 

- and next summer TSB should be entirely out of Lloyds Banking Group altogether when it is floated off.

 

Am I reading this correctly or should I still use NatWest for my benefit payments at least until TSB is totally independent.

 

Thanks for reading.:-)

Hello and Welcome mrindebt,

 

Sorry to read things have not been working out too well for you over the past years, I'd be very wary of them off-setting, I certainly would not put it past them.

 

Did you have any PPI with the card or charges levied against it.

 

Regards,

 

Scott.

Any advice I give is honest and in good faith.:)

Hi, thanks - no PPI or anything.

 

I too find it difficult to believe they wont be tempted to off-set

but in their recent T&C it clearly states(imo) they wont.

 

I forgot to ask

- Do debts passed on to collectors now belong completely to the new owners (Robway)

or are the original holders (Lloyds) still lurking in the shadows behind them ready to pounce

when silly fools like me sneak their way back to them a few years later via TSB?

firstly.

 

you need to get your cra file [see below]

 

and see whom is listed as the owner of the debt.

 

have you got ALL the statements?

 

if not i'd get them via an sar via Lloyds/tsb.

 

as for the offset

 

i'd not trust them either

though like you, I don't think they can.

Thank you for the replies.

 

I am not allowed to link you to the relevent part of the Lloyds/TSB transfer T&C which were published recently but I can paste it below -

 

The right to use money between accounts - known as ‘set-off.

 

There are some circumstances when we have the right to use money you have

deposited with us in a current or savings account against a debt you also have with

us, such as a credit card, loan or overdraft.

 

This is known as ‘set-off.’ We also currently have the right to set-off against money you

have with Lloyds TSB Scotland and vice versa. Once TSB is a separate bank, we

will no longer have the right to use money you have in your Lloyds TSB account to pay

money you owe TSB and vice versa. We will only be able to use our right of set-off

between accounts you hold with Lloyds TSB.

 

 

I should be safe to get my benefit payments directed to my new TSB account based on the above but just to be on the safe side I think i'll keep them getting sent to my NatWest account for now until TSB becomes completely independent from Lloyds next year.

If the debt has been assigned/sold to a 3rd party, there should be no right of set off anyway.

 

You say that is now with Robinson way. Is this just for collection purposes or have you received a Notice of Assignment to say that RW now own the account ?

I'm not sure about Notice of Assignment but I have copies of my statutory credit reports from both Experian and Equifax which I ordered in June this year - both of them list CL Finance and Cabot as the holders of my two other credit card debts (Originally with Barclays and Halifax respectively) which I also defaulted on in 2008 as well but it still shows LloydsTSB as the holder of my Lloyds debt - no mention anywhere of Robinson Way.

Hi - appreciate this post is old now but

 

 

wondered how you got on.

 

 

I am in exactly the same position more or less.

 

 

Have a defaulted account with TSB and a basic account with Lloyds.

 

 

To save me opening another account I want to put all of my credits into the Lloyds account and clear the TSB OD as soon as I can.

 

 

However, worried they will offset between accounts leaving me with nothing to live on.

 

 

Your post seems to suggest this isn't possible so I just thought I would check and see how you got on x

they can and will offset don't risk it

 

 

always put your money in a parachute account

 

 

where no-one you owe to can get their hands on it.
