    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.

    • 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.

Morning all,

 

i'm going after GE Money for excessive fees over the past 10 years of my 2nd mortgage.

 

 

So far, i've sent the SAR letter (from on here, thank you)

and actually got the information requested back in under a week

and before the letter saying they were happy to provide the info,

so that was a good start.

 

 

Going to start ploughing through the pages and pages of info but need to know,

 

1. if there is an up to date spreadsheet available to collate the fees

 

2. can I include default fees, admin fees, additional interest, direct debit return fees

 

3. should I add interest on to this initial claim, if so, at what rate?

 

Thanks for the help,

Dave.

hello dave and welcome to cag,

 

i see we are in much same position,seems like court action is the only option with ge .

 

in my claim i included all the charges you have mentioned and debt counselling if they have added any of them.

 

im sure some of the more experienced ones will come along soon with some advice .

 

just out of interest have you paid the charges or have they added them to your account.

 

this is the link for spread sheets i have taken from my posts .

good luck with your claim ,

 

 

i will update when i get any joy with my court claim joe

Hi Joe and thanks for the welcome.:-)

 

The charges I am after have been added on to the account and there is also counselling fees too so i'll add them.

 

The SAR returned info for 2 loans,

the 1st was paid off by the second,

but the 1st also has ppi on it (no loan agreement with that lot though, so I need a copy of that)

 

 

so I reckon i'm heading down the 2 claims route.

 

 

one for charges and

 

 

1 for ppi.

 

 

Or can I add them and make reference to both accounts in 1 claim?

 

Cheers,

Dave.

don't forget as you had PPI rollover

you need to calc things carefully

 

 

see link 1 below.

 

 

GE will wriggle and wriggle.

 

 

sadly I don't know of one successful claim thru them directly certainly for PENALTY charges

just the carry over sum

 

 

a % of the refinance was PPI from loan 1

 

 

just follow that bit

Right folks, now the silly season is out of the way, I'm revisiting this.

 

Done the reading as suggested and it's starting to make sense with the rollover ppi amounts and I have c.£2,200 in charges to go at too. Going to start getting some of the maths done and get my 2 claims underway. Will keep you posted.

 

Cheers,

Right folks, bit of a delay with this but underway again.

 

FOS questionnaire done today along with the statint sheet. Please can some one let me know if im heading the right way with the numbers though?

 

Original loan £16000

PPI Added £2011.41

Monthly payments varied due to circumstances and the %age below was used to calculate the ppi portions of each on the spreadsheet

%age to be used in calcs 11.167%

 

Spreadsheet says

 

Monthly payment of ppi - £2535.91

8% simple interest - £2244.01

Total - £4779.92

 

Now, is this the total that I claim, or do i add this figure to the original ppi amount of 2011.41 giving a total claim of £6791.33

 

Also, do i need to calculate the %age of interest that was applied to each payment and add that on too or does the fact that the spreadsheet monthly payment says £2535.91, but the original ppi loan was £2011.41, so does the difference of £524.50 account for this interest that GE applied as part of the loan agreement?

 

Hope this makes sense.

 

Cheers,

Dave.

Ah, that was my mistake. Loan 1 was paid off in 2004, Loan 2 didn't start till 2005. I thought that i had 1 pay off the second but according to the docs provided on the SAR this is incorrect. So, simplified now as only one loan to deal with :oops:

 

Also, when I send the stuff off, do I give 14 days then send a 'letter before action' or wait a full 8 weeks before any follow up?

 

Cheers,

Dave.

Phew! Thanks dx, you're a star!!

 

Finally back to my earlier post, can you clarify the following for me :-)

 

_________________________________________________________________________

 

Spreadsheet says

 

Monthly payment of ppi - £2535.91

8% simple interest - £2244.01

Total - £4779.92

 

Now, is this the total that I claim, or do i add this figure to the original ppi amount of 2011.41 giving a total claim of £6791.33

 

Also, do i need to calculate the %age of interest that was applied to each payment and add that on too or does the fact that the spreadsheet monthly payment says £2535.91, but the original ppi loan was £2011.41, so does the difference of £524.50 account for this interest that GE applied as part of the loan agreement?

how can you re-add the initial ppi again

and the interest they charged again...

 

 

think about it.....

 

 

you have, from the agreement, calculated the % of the loan that was the PPI.

 

 

then you've used that to workout what figure that actually was of each payment you made...

 

 

and those payment already included the PPI and the interest they charged.......

Seems simple when you put it that way lol....seen that many numbers and posts today that it's become a bit of a blur!!

 

Thanks again, it'll be away in the post in the morning.

Right folks,

 

PPI Claim gone in the post and received at the other end so just a waiting game now.

 

Next.............charges on another GE account.

 

Done the CISheet v101 with all default fees, admin fees and dd reclaim fees

and applied the 14 or so % APR from the original credit agreement document.

 

 

Firstly, is this the correct interest rate to apply?

 

 

Do I then also add statutory 8% interest as restitution?

 

Cheers.

you cant label stat int as restitution.

its stat [simple] int 8%

Simple interest it is.

 

I've revisited my interest rate though as having read the credit agreement it actually states that the rate tracks bank of england base rate plus 7%. So see if this sounds right as i'm a little stunned TBH!

 

Listed all 69 charge dates and then put the appropriate BOE rate in the next column. Next to that, ran a quick formula to add 7 to each figure giving me the monthly interest rate applied on each charge date. Auto summed at the bottom of that column gave a figure of 708.25. Divided that by 69 charge dates, gave me a monthly avg of 10.26449%. Used the stoozing apr converter found on another thread which gave an apr of 223.02% compounded.

 

So I presume i put a whopping 223.02% in to the apr box on the spreadsheet?? Then add 8% simple to the total claim from the spreadsheet?

Right i'm convinced i'm wrong, when put it in the spreadsheet, apparently they owe me tens of millions............. so much so that the spreadsheet won't show the numbers lol oops.

 

So, do i ignore the +7%pa bit and just average the BOE interest rate applied at the time of each charge? Then convert that figure to Apr giving 13.07% apr compounded.

 

Or does the 7%pa equate to 7/12 months giving a monthly 0.583% on top of the BOE base rate?

 

Confused again now.......
