    • and it will be also now written off under age related criteria anyway.
    • @dx100ukThanks for this! I'm still not clear if I'm facing more than 6 points on my license though. Can you explain any further please? When I accept the 2nd speeding ticket, will they just charge me £100 and 3 points, or will they be more severe consequences since that offense took place the following day of the 1st offense? Similarly, when I accept the 3rd offense, will they look at my record or just charge me with the £100 fine and 3 points? @Man in the middleI've been searching the forum and you seem very knowledgeable. Would you mind giving a look at my query please? Thanks in advance!!
    • Yes of course. That's why it says cc:: BIg Motoring World at the bottom. Don't imagine that this solves the issue. It doesn't. He not have to force the finance company and big motoring world to accept the rejection to give your money back. I suggest that you get the letter off tomorrow. And let us know what you hear but on Friday you should then send a threat to the finance company.   Have a look what I have said here about your options and read the whole thread as well.  
    • Been perusing the actual figures on the polls above wondering where the '16% claimed for deform comes from? I understand that there are 'weighted' end results based on secret calculations ...   Probably going to repeat this later, but remember that the ukip/brexit/reform/deform party has ALWAYS had poll speculation FAR better than their actual  performance at elections - by large margins. SO: The labor and Tory votes come largely from simply the people who say they will vote for them - sorted Lab 43% Tory 20%, with maybe another small 1-2% coming from the weightings of the 'not sures' Greens largely get what is declared from 'other' , although with another declared green bit from the 'pressed' question   So as the share of the voting displayed in 'other' granted to reform/deform is around 11%, where does the '16% too often being reported come from? Seems that reform has been granted as beneficiary of effectively ALL the don't knows and wont says, who when pressed didn't actually declare for someone else ... effectively adding 40%+ to their reported polling % - rather strange given their consistent under-performance compared to polling - or perhaps that is the cause of the higher rating eh?   Now I admit the possibility (probability?) of wingers being ashamed of declaring their support for the yuckey lemon end of the spectrum ... but surely  that should affect the 'Torys as well? Maybe the statisticians have simply weighted in that deform wingers are simply more likely to lie?   But - without 'weightings' and assumptions that faragits will get everything that isnt declared as a definite and unequivocal 'not that Piers Morgan' - reform is on around 11% it seems.   Add to that the history of polling a lot less than the hype - and the simple fact that faragit wingers seem to be spread across the country (presumably skulking in their moms spare room despite being 45+) and greens and lib dems seem to be community minded - I think two seats will be an epic result for farage. Hardly the opposition - far more raving wingnut party.   and importantly - Has farage got a home in clacton yet?

    • 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.

As some of you know I got LLoyds/tsb to discontinue with their £11,000 claim against me. Which really ****ed them off as they attended 3 hearings with barristers.

 

I signed non disclosure documents.

 

They agreed to pay me all my fair and reasonable costs immediately! If I reduced my costs, which I did.

 

While waiting for the payment which took 6 weeks I went over my overdraft limit by £120.

They have now withdrawn my overdraft and put it in the hands of moorcraft. There is no option to get back under my limit the total overdraft is £3,120.

 

I am sure the delay in payment was no coincidence! I have no proof of course. If they had paid on time I would not be in this position. Lame excuse I know ,but true. Absolutely skint. Apart from my Costs check but that will not cover it.

 

Not sure how to go about this.

 

Regards Jack

Thanks Rebel11, thats what I was looking for.. Have a good read tonight. Just want my overdraft back really. Seems they were a bit spiteful after losing.

 

I kept phoning them and asking for my cheque ..the standard reply was "we have requested it there is a back log". My reply was "we had an agreement I would reduce my costs and sign a non disclosure on the basis you sent me out a cheque straight away. An Estoppel has been created and you have breached it".. only when I threatened to pull out of my non disclosure agreement.... they sent it straight away.

 

By that time moorcraft had taken over my overdraft... me thinks no coincidence.

These are the key principles that apply:-

 

A firm must pay due regard to the interests of its customers and treat them fairly.

 

A firm must pay due regard to the information needs of its clients, and communicate information to them in a way which is clear, fair and not misleading.

 

A firm must manage conflicts of interest fairly, both between itself and its customers and between a customer and another client.

I will draught a letter along those principles. I will leave out any of the proceedings except to say I was waiting for a cheque from your bank.

Offer to get back under my limit and £10 PM

 

What about interest charging etc.. does that have to stop now as they must realise I am in financial hardship?

Include financial hardship in the letter, you can ask them to freeze it.

 

If your suffering financial hardship, they certainly shouldn't be closing the 'Overdraft Facility', they should be helping you. But to claim financial hardship you may need to send them an Income & Expenditure form.

  • 1 month later...

Had letter back from tsb as my account had transferred over to moorcrap. Tsb will not be bringing it back in house.

 

It transpires I was with lloyds for over 20 years, In July 2014 I was supposedly sent a default notice (they admit in a letter I didn't receive) saying I had to pay £103 to bring the overdraft into credit by the 14th of July. Coincidently I paid in £100.

 

However Tsb cancelled my account in September 2014 when I was £103 over drawn ... £100 was interest accrued since the DN was sent. The only reason I was over the overdraft limit was because I was awaiting my costs back from my lloyds victory. Lloyds promised payment within 7 days but never paid until after tsb closed my bank account. I am thinking conspiracy theory, lol

 

I now have no bank account but still have my LLoyds costs Cheque that I can't cash. GRRR

 

I did a dsar on my account and it is there in black and white; LLoyds knew I was in financial trouble and had promised to stop interest rates after I had put my income out goings expenditure in writing to them march 2011. They did not stop the interest so clearly misled me. The £3000 overdraft was made up purely of interest by September 2014.

 

I feel I need to complain but have never done this or know what to say or how to say it. Surely they have breached some rule or regulation BCOBS etc.

 

All input welcome..threads to read where to complain etc.

Hi CB.. help drafting complaint or link to similar. I cant let them get away with it I now have no f''ing bank account. All for going over £3 after 20 years.

 

 

I used Rebels great points in my complaint letter .. which I felt was good. I even nailed the BCOBS correct numbering for their easy reference.

 

So now to battle.

 

(A pointer on where is easiest to start a new basic account would also be good.)

No! going to get on it this week. Not sure if a building society or bank will be easier?

 

Will try Fords suggestion CO-OP.

 

I thought this problem may have come up quite a lot given our general bad credit history.

Hi Jack

 

You still have an option of going to the FOS, they don't understand BCOB's, but they do acknowledge the 'Lending Code'.

 

It sounds like they have withdrawn your overdraft because you won. It' sounds like a 'retaliatory' action, unless there are very good reasons.

 

Send them a SAR, before you complain, that way you can 'nail down' exactly why it was closed.
