    • Have we seen your court bundle?   If we haven't then it's probably an idea to post it up here especially the index page and the witness statement so we can see if there is anything which might need adding or changing 
    • "Care to briefly tell someone who isn't tech savvy - i.e. me! - how you did this?" Its pretty simple although not obvious. You open the google maps app > click your profile picture > Click Timeline from the list > click today > choose the date you want to see the timeline from. Then you'll see your timeline for that day. Often, places you have visited will have a question mark beside them where google wants you confirm you have actually visited. You either click 'yes' if you have, or you click 'edit' to enter the actual place you visited. Sometimes, you'll see 'Missing visit' This probably happens if your internet connection has dropped out at that time. You simply click 'Add visit' and enter the place. The internet on my crappy phone often loses connection so I have to do that alot.   OK dx, understood mate. 
    • I have now been given a court date vs Evri, 4th Sept 2024. I have completed my court bundle, when am I expected to send copies to the court and Evri and should it be in hard copy or electronic? The Notice of Allocation states that no later than 7 days before the directions hearing both parties must send to the other party their final offers to settle. Does this mean I will have to tell Evri what I'm willing to settle? Rgds, J
    • Ok how about this to the CEO? I know it sounds super desperate but lets call a spade a spade here, I am super desperate: Dear Sir, On 29th November 2023 I took out a loan of £5000 with you. Unfortunately very early into 2024 I found myself in financial difficulty (unexpected bills and two episodes of sickness and the tax office getting my tax code wrong resulting in less pay for two months) and I contacted you (MCB) on 13th February 2024 asking if there was any way I could extend the length of my loan to 36 months. I fully explained why I was requesting this and asked for your help. I did not receive a reply to that email so I again contacted you on 7th March 2024 to advise you of a change in my circumstances which resulted in me having to take out a DMP and asking you to confirm that the direct debit had been cancelled. You would have also received confirmation of this DMP from StepChange but you did not acknowledge receipt of my email. I have only managed to make one payment from my loan but did try and contact MCB to discuss extending my loan, help etc.  I have now therefore fallen behind on several of my debts, yours included, and as a result you have lodged a Cifas marker against my name for "evasion of payment", which has resulted in me having to change banks, which has been an extremely difficult process because of the Cifas marker. I do not feel you have been fair or given me the opportunity to fully explain my situation to you before you lodged the marker against my name. I appreciate it is a business and you have acted accordingly, but I did try to make contact to arrange alternative arrangements and at no point, not even to this day, did I ever intend to not repay my loan. I cannot stress to you enough how much this has affected my mental health. I am having trouble sleeping and my existing health condition has been exacerbated by all of this. What I would like you to do is to please, please remove the Cifas marker and let me make arrangements to pay the loan back through a DMP.  Please sir, I am begging for your help here. I am not a dishonest person and I have never been in a situation like this before. I am desperately trying to make things right but this marker is killing me. Please can you help me? I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully,

    • 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 all,

 

I've finally managed to get my dad to have a look into PPI on his past finances. He only agreed to do so if i did it all for him.

Now I've been looking on this site and it seems I need, a covering letter,

to fill out the financial-ombudsman consumer questionnaire

and all the statements and agreements of the finance.

I'd appreciate it if anyone could give me/send me a link to a template for the covering letter.

I've already got the questionnaire from the ombudsman website so I'm ok there.

Now my dad says he has all the paperwork and I sort of believe this because he's really good for keeping things for records.

lastly it looks like I need to calculate how much he should be owned,

I've seen the spreadsheets on this site. I am not good when it comes to numbers,

is there any simpler ways to go about it or can anybody maybe help me workout how to use it?

As always any help will be much appreciated

Thanks

Andrew

If it helps in anyway, most of his finance was with Halifax, there was a repayment mortgage that lasted about 18months, credit cards and a few loans.

Hi,

 

Regarding the covering letter, something along the lines of............

 

"I believe I was mis-sold the PPI policies attached to the loan ( or credit card) and I enclose completed questionnaires for each.

 

I look forward to your response as soon as possible and certainly with the permitted 8 weeks for you to resolve this complaint"

 

I'm not to great at the calculations either, hopefully you'll get some help shortly with that.

 

Regards,

 

Scott.

Hi Scott,

Thank you for your reply, I will use that for the template.

I wouldn't of asked but it looks like no one is really at the beginning of there claim, most seem halfway so there wasn't much to go on.

Just out of curiosity should i send a SAR anyway?

I know my dad thinks he has everything,

but even just for future claims because I might be young but I'm sure the banks are going to sell something they shouldn't again at some point.

Would be good to have everything they have if it's every needed again hey. :wink:

Hi,

 

Yes, with the SAR they should send you everything they have on you, well everything you ask for.

I'd say it's worth the £10 fee as you say for future reference.

Thanks for the quick reply Scott,

 

Well if it's only £10 it can't hurt to send one. I'll use a postal order though, I don't send anything else in the mail, better to be save then sorry and all that.

 

So which SAR should i use? looks to be a lot in the library.

 

Thanks

Andrew

I find it always best to get as much info as you can

even if you already have it or may have it.

it adds ;weight' to a claim, if, say, you include say a CD of all the docs you relly upon in a PPI claim.

that way they've got nothing to 'wriggle over' if they say

this and that we have not got proof of

you've already sent them a copy of the docs you rely upon for the PPI claim.

as for the spread sheets

its very easy to do

and the sheets do the work for you.

all you need to do is put in each date PPI was charged.

that might need a simple calculation that we can help with

or if you are that way minded

read link 1 below.

as for the SAR

use the click link above.

you don't want to 'tip the company off'

theres a claim coming

as they might make information outside of 6yrs 'disappear' magically/.

take your time

there is no rush

theres no time limit on PPI claims no matter what you read elsewhere.

whilst on the subject of 'elsewhere'

NEVER use a claims company

theres no need

they have no more clout than you

and typically you can lose almost 50% of your claim

for something you can do for FREE yourself

keep us informed.

another tip:

I always find it better to use ONE reason only for the miss-sale

using a scattergun approach of many reasons why the PPI was mis-sold

tends to allow them to wriggle out of the claim.

you can always bring in the other reasons at a later date.x

Would agree with DX - simple covering letter and completed FOS form with a clear and precise reason for mis-sale - but if two reasons then state them both clearly so no wriggle room.

 

I have done the calcs before claim and indicate to them I am aware of what it should be - Halifax is Lloyds so a bit slippery when doing refunds.

Hi xd100uk,

 

So you'd say the best course of action is to send the SAR first, then after I get all the information back to just send the covering letter and financial-ombudsman consumer questionnair?

 

Also what address should I send the SAR to? I know its Halifax registered office, but I don't know how to find that address.

I'd think it would be the Lloyds Banking Group address.

Registered Office

THE MOUND

EDINBURGH

EH1 1YZ

 

There seems to be a few addresses for them.

 

You could give them a phone and ask... Halifax Customer Enquiries: 0845 739 4959

Halifax

West Yorkshire

Do you think I should send me SAR there? Because like xd said I don't want to tip them off about why I want all the information.

 

Thanks

Hi all again,

 

Had a letter from Halifax, it was dated 20/11/2014 and I got it on the 22/11/2014.

 

It said thank you for contacting us, they've received the £10 fee and said they have started requesting information on all accounts. It will be sent on or before the 30th December 2014.

 

It's also said if there are joint accounts and only one party has signed, that the other party will need to send written authority within the next 7 days quoting the DSAR Ref number.

 

Now it is a joint account with my dad and mum so can someone give me a template for an authority letter? because I'd like to get the letter sent off tomorrow.

 

I'll upload the letter also encase I've missed something.

 

Many Thanks

Andrew

 

Has anyone found themselves in the same situation? I can't seem to find any authority letters anywhere on this website.

 

Can anyone please make a template or advice me on how to type one.

 

Many Thanks

Andrew
