    • Thanks very much Bank. I have topped and tailed my LOC and printed off a copy which I shall post tomorrow by First Class post at my local post office and also obtain a proof of postage. I'll also email them a copy. I've opened a MoneyClaim account, and shall now begin work on my draft Particulars of Claim which I shall post here for your thoughts. And I shan't be using the Moderation service.
    • Yes, it struck me this morning that I'd got it wrong    - no involvement of UKPPO in any previous Tesco thread    - there would have been an entrance sign to a Tesco car park    - CCTV isn't something associated with Tesco car parks. Presumably whoever runs the car park has put CCTV at the electric, and probably BB, areas, done absolutely nothing to stop abuse, and then rubs their hands in glee every time the CCTV catches a motorist out. You can pay £60 and this will go away. Or you can defy UKPPO and rely on their non-respect of POFA, consideration period, etc., should they be daft enough to do court later down the line.  We would support you all the way.
    • thats not the way to do it sorry. sorry so what is your problem? that vanquis paid the £560 or that they are now chasing it? how old is this debt? dx  
    • If you visited Qatar you could be detained at the border, if the debt has been notified.  If you are only in transit and do not seek to cross border into Qatar you might be ok, but you may want to seek formal advice about this.
    • Howdy, I had a short lived credit card with Vanquis that I did not need. I paid it off in full and called them and closed it with the person at the other end. 2 months later they started sending me messages about late payments, I called them and to find out that the card had not been closed in error and 6 weeks after it should have been closed they paid a google debit of £560. I hit the roof and made a formal complaint that took them well over a month to respond to. They agreed they were at fault, refunded all late payments fees and offered me £100 in compensation. However they said the debit amount stood as 'I had benefit from it' and I should get a refund from google. I hit the roof again but they have stuck to their guns. The debit from google is a genuine one but I wanted to dispute it with google so closed the card so they would have to engage with me. But surely that's neither here nor there surely? What is the next step? Ombudsman takes forever doesn't it?  thanks in advance

    • 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.

Yorkshire bank came back with an offer of £3100 in full settlement from my claim of £6200!

 

Just got a letter from the court saying they're defending the case in full!

 

Not sure what to do? accept the offer or keep going...

 

Any one had this with the yorkshire or clydesdale?

In same situation. Owed £1291 + £350 interest + £220 court costs. Yorkhire bank offered me £1026 initially which I rejected. 10 days later they offered me the full amount of £1291 + £220 court costs but a refusal that they will pay the interest as is was my fault I was overdrawn etc. I am refusing this offer and will be attending court in a weeks time.

They said that they were defending the case in court to me aswell. It looks like scaremongering tactics to me. I have been reassured that they will settle out of court before the hearing. My advice....as long as your particulars are correct, stick to your guns!! Good luck

Hi all,

Well we're carring on!

After I got the offer from Yorkshire ...which i rejected they've put a defence in and I got the stuff from the courts this morning etc

 

However when I rang them last week asking that since you'll lose why dont you settle..they said that that was the offer "AT PRESENT" what do think that means!

 

It says I need to pay £100 as my claim exceeds £5000 etc

 

The banks saying that the charges are for a service etc...

 

Is they're any help on what to say to this..and is it worth getting a solitor etc...

Just read a few posts that say sendd to local branch as Yorkshire bank is registered in Scotland! When I aksed the county court at time of fileing they said it was OK as long as I included a statement saying no other actions we're pending in the scottish or other terrorties!

My claim is for £5554 + interest!

 

Is this right?

I have successfully claimed back charges from YB twice(including costs and intrest). They seem to be in the habit of folding in the last week before the court case(the first time it was 2 days before my court case). I guess they think if they hold on for as long as possible most of us will give up or accept a lower offer.

 

Where are you upto in the process? My charges were well below £5000 so I went through the small claims. Perhaps you could have claimed in a series of smaller claims? Someone with more experience will no doubt jump in and help before you have to seek a solicitors opinion.

 

Good luck

Hi Joolz, I see that YB are using the "we are supplying a service" angle quite a bit just lately, like it makes the high charges lawful, but they still have to comply with The supply of goods and services act 1982.

 

section 15.

 

1.

Where, under a contract for the supply of a service, the

consideration for the service is not determined by the contract,

left to be determined in a manner agreed by the contract or

determined by the course of dealing between the parties, there is

an implied term that the party contracting with the supplier will

pay a reasonable charge.

 

On the BBC Money programme two university professors of Banking and a ex bank chief executive said that the most a bank could reasonably charge for a unpaid standing order was £2.50, so how can a £35.00 charge be a reasonable service.so don't worry just keep the faith and you will win in the end. :)

 

Moss.

Sorry abut that!

Am just about to fill in my ACK forms from the court after they're defence!

I'm bricking myself and are going to go through all the stuff with my Dad tomorrow and would love some help here guy's!

 

My Dad's not bad as he's an X accountant and auditer and has been following my case but is concerned about my lack of legal representation in case the YB single me out for a test case!

 

Whats the crack with the 'Court' buddy system? Are these people qualified or just lay people, or lay people that can withstand the 'Banks' arguments?

 

I'll scan and send 'bankfodder' the 'Banks' defence document tonight....

 

Big donation on its way it I can get through this....

 

Happy new year all you bods...

Joolz don't be worried about court, lots of folks on here have been in the same position as yourself including me and it is worrying when you get a legalese letter of them that you don't understand. I have found that the more i read on this forum especially the relevant law bits and the legal arguments the more i understand, and reading the YB successes every now and then is great as they have all had the same sh*t thrown at them and YB's lawyers aren't coming up with anything new. Turning up in court would be financial suicide and all the banks know it. With the help of CAG, members have got back £5795834 for 4593 people and you will soon be adding to it. :)

Regards Moss
