    • did you submit your directions
    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • 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

 

Wrote to Natwest last week with a prelim letter and have recieved following response today.

 

Dear XXXXX

 

Your complaint regarding charges has been passed to me and I apologise for any dissatisfaction caused by the application of charges to your account.

 

We believe our charges are fair, reasonable and transparent. We consider that the amounts debited to your account have been applied strictly in accordance with your agreement with us and our published tariff which, we are satisifed, complies with all applicable laws and regulations. We are also committed to ensuring the transparency of the information that we give to our customers about the operation of our products.

 

Consequently, against that background, we must differ with the views you have expressed and will not be refunding any of the charges applied to your bank account.

 

Having reviewed your account, I can find no instance where charges have been applied when they were not properly due. They have all been associated with a lack of covering funds in the account at the time items were presented for payment. Accordingly, the charges that have been applied to your account must stand.

 

I am disappointed to note that you are contemplating legal action against the bank. Whilst I hope you will feel able to reconsider, should you decide to go ahead, please ensure any Proceedings are served on our Registered address, which appears at the foot of this letter.

 

I accept that this is unlikely to be the answer you might have hoped to recieve but nontheless thank you for taking the time and trouble to contact us.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Stuart Higley

Customer Relations

LETTER BEFORE ACTION

 

Dear Stuart Higley,

 

ACCOUNT NUMBER: xxxxxxxxx

 

 

I am very disappointed that you have failed to respond positively to my letter of the 17th October 2006.

I now understand that the regime of 'fees' which you have been applying to my account in relation to direct debit refusals, exceeding overdraft limits and so forth are unlawful at Common Law, Statute and recent Consumer regulations.

 

I would draw your attention to the terms of the contract which you agreed to at the time that I opened my account. It is an implied term of that contract that you would conduct yourselves lawfully and in a manner which complies with UK law.

 

I am frankly shocked that you have operated my account in this way as I had always reposed confidence in your integrity and expertise as my fiduciary.

 

I calculate that you have taken £772.11 plus £157.20 which you have charged me in overdraft interest for the sum which you have taken. Total £929.31.

I am enclosing a copy of the schedule of the charges which I am claiming.

 

I require repayment in full of this money. If you do not comply fully within 14 days then I shall begin a claim against you for the full amount plus interest plus my costs and without further notice.

 

 

Yours faithfully,

miavega:x

The LBA is fine, no need to jazz it up so long as it covers all the facts (which it does)!!

Cool - so just add schedule of charges (which I also took from library and so it covers initial interest but NOT the extra 8%) and post it recorded?

 

Should I copy this bigwig in as he seems to be recommended?

OKay now received a standard letter back from Higley saying still bog off and please serve legal documents on registered address etc etc.

 

Do I start MCOL immediately or do I wait til end of 14 days from their receipt of my LBA?

 

Also in the amount of money I was claiming I used Vampiress spreadsheet with the 8% interest - so I have claimed for the charges plus the 8% interest - I am getting really confused on the interest issue and am unclear as to whether there is another sum of interest I should be claiming too - could anyone who understands this please advise me? I have read a million threads discussing this and am now more confused than when I started.....

You should only be claiming the 8% interest when filing your claim with MCOL, and I would say yes you can carry on with your court claim now, seeing as though you've had a response from your LBA. Make sure you use their registered address when filing your claim.

 

http://www.cag-files.co.uk/barracad/Spreadsheets/England/Complex-bank-charges-calc.xls If you use the spreadsheet here it will calculate your overdraft interest, then on the next page it will work out your 8% interest also.

 

Hope this helps!!

Sent Higley the letter below last week and having still heard nothing from him managed to phone him (oh and he is not a nice person on the phone at all) and he tells me the bank has stopped making ANY payments at the moment as basically the bigwigs have decided they need a strategy and until he gets their strategy his department cannot make any new agreements with any customers.

 

his phone no is 0208 236 8223

 

Letter I sent (thanks to Littlesally who I unashamedly copied it off!!!!) - so I guess my only option now is to file the MCOL claim????:mad:

 

Thank you for your letter dated 23rd October 2006.

You clearly do not believe that I will issue a claim against you for the unfair bank charges against my accounts.

 

I am writing to inform you that this will be the next stage unless I hear from you, in the next 7 days, that the £935.08 I am claiming from you will be paid back to me in full. I have attached a copy of my already prepared HMCS Moneyclaim online court submission – I will be claiming unless this matter is settled in full by 7th December 2006.

However, please accept this correspondence in accordance with my duty under the Civil Procedure Rules to continue to pursue a settlement without the need to invoke the time of the courts.

Take note that I will draw the Court’s attention to the fact that you have not made any attempts at settlement in accordance with the overriding objectives of CPR. Furthermore I will submit this letter to the Court as further evidence of your intransigence with my case despite my attempts at settlement and the settling by your company of all other similar claims to date.

 

Alternatively, in accordance with the overriding objectives of the Civil Procedure Rules I would like to give you the opportunity to settle this issue without the need to take the time of the Courts. My claim is for £935.08. If you could ensure that this sum is paid into my bank account within seven days I will inform the court that this matter is settled.

If you wish to proceed with this, I will be pleased to meet you in court and hear your justification of the penalty charges.

And, I am sure, so will all Natwest customers.

If you do not intend to defend the charges in court, but hoping that I will "just go away", I need to point out to you that this will not happen. But you will incur more costs against you by the court.

Please do not waste their time and mine with something you do not intend to defend.
