    • You need to choose between ET and small claims, you cannot do both. For straightforward wages I'd go small claims. Faster and less messing about. Advice here Employment claims in the civil courts - Working Families WORKINGFAMILIES.ORG.UK Some types of employment-related claims can be brought in the civil courts, rather than in an Employment Tribunal. This advice page offers a high level...  
    • The garages are used - just car currently being fixed.  I have no need of what they offer.  It is conscious trespass - and the law allows. Which is frustrating.  It's just v annoying that they do this. Isn't there a law that someone cannot prevent access to a public highway from private land?
    • The problem with sending it too early is that Jake might try to write something called a Supplemental Witness Statement to undermine yours.  It would be better to send yours right on the court's deadline. The problem is that we don't know when that is.  In 90% of cases it's 14 days before the court's deadline, so 21/06.  However, in the odd case the judge decides differently.  
    • Signs and notes on windscreens wouldn't deter me either. after all. it's private land and very little deterrent to stop drivers from abusing it. A physical barrier, IMHO is the only way you will stop them abusing it.....or, depending on what businesses they are, why not rent out your garage to them, ask them for a staff discount if you purchase anything from them? Whilst it is irksome, how much money have you got to throw at it, and is it really that important in your life? If you were using your garage, different story.
    • Still worried about time order - they have not followed procedures. Looking through lists there are some items not been sent, incorrect leaflets sent.  emails sent and we’ve not received. Texts and emails sent and not completed process. Pages worth.  The worst thing is the phone calls. Not got more than 8 minutes of most.  it’s so unfair.  Have sent them emails offering to pay right back to March. All arrears were paid back.  2 payments since.    what other info do you require from me ?

    • 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.

At the moment, I am unemployed due to health reasons. I've just had a major operation and I did not overdraw, but rather, bills like TV license, Virgin Media etc....

 

They took out £44 for charges and I forgot where the draft is to write a letter to them to claim it back under hardship!

 

I hate HSBC, I really should change banks soon...

Template is here you'll need to personalize it a bit and replace FSA with FCA.

 

As for your benefits, I'll just copy myself from another thread:

 

If you are in receipt of benefits (regardless if Jobseekers, Disability, Child benefits or whatever) HSBC has no right to deny you access to them, so if you can't withdraw your benefits at the cash machine walk straight into a HSBC branch and demand a manual withdrawal of your benefits money, you may have to ask two or three times, but eventually front line staff will go and get authorization from their Manager to approve the withdrawal and give you your benefits cash in hand regardless of how badly over the limit your account is due to charges.

Hi Atlantic

 

You need to personilze the templatelink3.gif below. Banks don't like templateslink3.gif.

 

http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/s...laim-fees.html

 

(Your name and address)

 

 

(Name and address of bank)

(Date)

 

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

 

Account number:

 

 

I am writing to reclaim all bank charges on my account(s) (since X date, when you believe you entered financial hardship). I am unhappy that these charges have been applied to my account and in this letter I am registering my complaint and I request that you immediately stop applying further charges to my account.

 

 

I need you consider my case as a matter of urgency as I believe I am in financial hardship. This is because (state reasons: i.e. you are unable to meet priority financial commitments including, but not limited to, council tax, food and utility bills. If your income includes benefits state what they are, and give details of any circumstances which have changed recently i.e loss of job, relationship breakdown, serious illness, stating how this has affected your financial situation.) I attach evidence to show my monthly income and outgoings.

 

 

I therefore request that you repay all my default charges since (X date) which total (X amount).

 

 

Under the FCA guidelines, (name of bank) has 8 weeks to resolve my complaint. I trust that you will deal with my case within this period. If not, I will refer the matter to the Financial Services Ombudsmanlink3.gif.

 

 

I look forward to receiving a full response to this letter within 14 days

 

 

Yours faithfully,

*cough* *cough* thats the same template I had linked to along with saying the same thing about personalizing it...

 

 

Anyway, just as a heads up, here is the template response you will receive from HSBC,

 

[ATTACH=CONFIG]53801[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]53802[/ATTACH]

 

In other words, complaining to HSBC is nothing but a formality so you are allowed to complain to the FOS.

I've been using that template for a long time, I'm fairly sure I first posted it on this site. No doubt you picked it up from this site. You have no idea what HSBC will say, so that has no relevance. The fact that a complaint to the FOS will cost HSBC £550, they might just refund the charges.

Of course I found the template on this site and never claimed otherwise, I was simply pointing out the redundancy in posts as its the exact same, nothing more.

 

It's the exact response 10+ people received on behalf of whom I have sent complaints about HSBC fees.

Point behind it simply being that HSBC follows the try to fob people off mantra and that people should except that a FOS complaint will be necessary, complete with the implication that it will take a long time to get the fees back no matter how deep into hardship they are.

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...
