    • Post #9 suggested some options to avoid or put off having a smart meter. Post #12 a simple solution to your complaint about the ay they handle fixed monthly DD. It's not really clear why you posted if you're going get irate when members "jump in" with suggestions. You can see what I'm referring to on "gasracker.uk" to allay your suspicion that I was lying in Post #16 which was made to correct ther misinformation shown in your Post #15
    • Back to octopus from the smart meter/tariff salesperson. Octopus have now said just ignore the letter - I dont have to have one despite there letter implying (at least) it was required, but that i will HAVE to have a smart meter if current meters stop working as 'their suppliers dont supply non smart meters any more'. They also say they do not/will not disable any smart functionality when they fit a smart meter I am of course going to challenge that. Thats their choice of meter fitter/supplier problem not mine
    • Point taken that we should inform new Caggers that the £20 option is there in wrong registration cases.  Well, supposedly there, who knows what the PPCs would do in practice.  Anyway, the option is allegedly there with both the BPA as you say, but also the IPC (I've just checked). However, there's a danger here of baby, bathwater. The two easiest types of cases to win are (a) residential - due to Supremacy of Contract and (b) wrong registration - due to "de minimis".  Indeed until recently we has been boasting that no Caggers, over two years, who had sent a PPC the wrong registration snotty letter, had even been taken to court, let alone lost a court hearing. We simply can do nothing about a terrible judge.  The judge seems - I say seems because we haven't had all the details - to have ignored "de minimis",. got fixated on a sign and awarded unreasonable behaviour costs.  A totally bizarre judgement.
    • You mean your witness statement 
    • That may be your personal claimed experience I said i didn't want smart meters - you jumped in to recommend smart meters I quite clearly indicated I was happy with being in credit to maintain constant payments - you suggest paying what I owe every month I quite clearly indicated I was happy with being in credit to maintain constant payments - you suggest a variable tariff - even if its one that only varies on a daily basis rather than half/hourly - with prices higher in winter when you need it and lowest in summer when you need it least   politeness ends with: - I'm NOT interested in any smart tariff I see, You are pushing your smart meter + variable tariffs in the wrong place - try pushing them somewhere 'nearer to home'

    • 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

 

Does anyone know what Lloyds would have been charging for their packaged accounts back in 1987?

 

I've gone back over my own records and can share the following just in case it is useful to anyone else.

 

Classic account - package referred to either:-

account fixed charge

account service charge

account charge

 

around 1991 account charge was £8.00 per month

around 2004 account charge £10.00 per month

around 2008 account charge £12.00 per month

around 2011 account charge £12.95 per month

 

i assume that the account charges would have been the same for everyone with this type of package account, but am not sure if the month that the increase took place would be the same for everyone.

 

if anyone does know about the classic package charge for the period 87-91, and willing to share the information that would be great.

You could always send a sar which would get info on more recent years though I doubt they'd send everything going that far back. You should make it clear you want everything, including over 6 years.

From first statement I have 2001 - Select account was £4 rising to £5 in Sept 2002, then £7 from May 2005. In August account changed to Platinum and cost £10 per month. From June 2007 Premier Plus then Premier Vantage was a whooping £25 per month. I have got to get reclaiming!!

 

Hope this helps.

Hi peeps,

I wondered if anyone knows what year the classic account with Lloyds began?

I have already claimed my PPI and up until a text yesterday, had no idea that I had been miss sold my bank account upgrade. We were told that to stop getting an overdraft charge and improve our credit score it was the correct account for us. The packaged benefit's were sold to us as a free service.

Thanks

I am in process of trying to reclaim these fees for son-in-law - have already reclaimed PPi so in a very similar position. WE have the SAR and I will try hand see when the classic account began - he had accounts with names like premier and platinum.

Think you will need to be very clear on the grounds for mis-selling - read the FOS case studies and a page fron FCA - sorry but have lost the tabs for these so will have to do a new search but know there are links from threads on here.

 

Not sure of address to send to - still working on that one.

 

Good luck - Intend

I also went from Classic to Select, thinking that the classic account was being done away with.

I believe that the Select began in 2006, has anyone got Select statement's going back further? I have yet to receive a response form my SAR. Thanks

What a shame that the good old day's of being on first name term's and believing that your local bank manager knew you well enough guide you around the bank account that suited your finances and your ambition's.

select account from 2001 at £4.00 per month, £5.00 from Sept. 2002, and £7.00 from May 2005. Was changed to Platinum in July 2006 and fee increased to £10.

 

Hope this helps.

 

My claim stalled as need the energy and inspiration to write a letter detailing reasons for mis-selling. Do not want to give them any wriggle room.

 

Agree about loss of real bank managers.

 

Intend
