    • Paragraph 18 – you are still talking about Boston stolen items. About time this was fixed??? Paragraph 19  In any event, the claimant's PS5 gaming device was correctly declared and correctly valued. The defendant accepted it for carriage and was even prepared to earn extra money by selling sell insurance in case of its loss or damage. New paragraph 20 – this the defendant routinely sells insurance in respect of "no compensation" items (a secondary contract contrary to section 72 CRA 2015) new paragraph above paragraph 20 – the defendant purports to limit its liability in respect of lost or damaged items. This is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights act 2015. The defendant offers to extend their liability if their customer purchases an insurance cover for an extra sum of money. This insurance is a secondary contract calculated to exclude or limit their liability for the defendants contractual breaches and is contrary to section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015. New paragraph below paragraph 42 – the defendant merely relies on "standard industry practice" You haven't pointed to the place in your bundle of the Telegraph newspaper extract. You have to jiggle the paragraphs around. Even though I have suggested new paragraph numbers, the order I have suggested is on your existing version 5.

    • 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.

Barclaycard reclaiming penalties and Compound Int't **WON** (probably)

Morning

 

 

Continuing to go through all my credit card/bank account files and checking the grand total of Late Payment Fees and other such charges.

Finally got to Barclaycard today.

 

 

I have had a Barclaycard credit card since 03.

I have just collated all the Late Payment Fees B'Card added from 05 to date.

Interestingly - from mid 2011 until start 2014 only - B'Card also added a charge titled "Interest on default Sum". Before and after these dates B'card never isolated and advised this charge.

 

 

The total of charges from 05 = apx £650.

The total of compound Interest @ 29.9% = apx £2100

The sum total = apx £2750

 

 

My current B'card balance is £5k.

 

 

So should I now write a nice letter asking for them to reimburse these charges?

And also asking them to stop adding them on to future statements ?

 

 

Thanks for any response....

No.

 

 

I last used it 5 years ago.

Apart from a couple direct debits I forgot about which were deducted early 2011.

Ever since I have just been paying the interest only.

Frustratingly quite often the payment would arrive and the late payment charge be added with only 24h between

 

In fact - the balance hasn't really changed - sad to say - in 5 years :-(

Hi Mum,

 

I assume the refund won't cover the a/c balance.

 

If so, then BC can and may add further penalty charges, unless you get them to freeze int't and penalty charges on the basis of Financial Difficulty.

 

Regarding the "interest on default sum", I don't think you'll need to do anything differently with this reclaim if you're claiming compound restitutionary int't at 24.9% or 29.9%.

 

:-)

I was actually looking to reduce the balance. Having refinanced my mortgage it seems like a good time to try and get on top of other debt issues.

 

 

If - potentially - they owe me almost 3k in penalty charges & CI, and my balance is currently apx £5k - then clearly there is only apx £2k to reduce rather than £5k....

 

Having checked the % B'card was charging me then the CI I will use will definitely be 29.9%

hi

 

 

B'card have sent a letter "suggesting" that they are satisfied that their charges of £12 are their actual and estimate cost incurred and that they comply with relevant legislation and guidance. They say they won't consider my complaint.

They also say they wont go back further than 6 years.

And they say their letter is their final response to my complaint - even though I have only written once !!

 

 

So what to do next?

Is this a fairly normal first response from B'card?

And is there a next kind of template letter to send advising them about only just being made aware of their unlawful charges so I can go back more than 6y and that their response is wrong?

Hi Mum,

 

This is a standard response.

 

Stick to your timescale - Prelim Claim letter + 14 days; LBA + 14 days; file your claim at court.

thanks

I thought that might be the case....

 

 

So - does my first letter count as the Prelim Claim Letter ?

And now - having had a response - I send in my LBA ?

 

So is this the right kind of lba letter to write:

I now understand that the regime of fees which you have been applying to my account in relation to late fees and over limit charges are unlawful at ....

I draw your attention to the terms of the contract which you agreed to at the time I opened my account. It is an implied term of that .... etc etc which complies with UK law.

 

I calculate that you have taken £XXX in charges and I also claim £XXXX.XX in interest of restitution, making a total of XXXX.XX

 

I enclose a Schedule of Charges listing the amounts that I require to be repaid. *** the same schedule as sent previously ?? Or amended as now 2 weeks later ??

In addition to full payment of the sum mentioned above, I require that you remove any and all default entries from the register.

Please note that mere correction or amendment to the entry will not be acceptable.

 

In recent years Courts have been happy to accept claims for bank charges that exceed 6 years, whilst having regards to the precedent set between KLEINWORT BENSON -v- LINCOLN CITY COUNCIL under section 32 © of the Limitations act 1980.

Should County court action be needed I will be seeking to rely on this.

 

Therefore this letter requests a refund of all charges indicated including interest in restitution from the date of this letter.

I request that payment is made directly to me in full by cheque.

You now have 14 days to respond positively.

Yours faithfully,

Hi Mum,

 

The Prelim letter is in the Library and the same letter is used for your LBA. You simply head the LBA "Letter before action".

I have checked the library.

My first letter was pretty much this format. And it generated the response from Bcard which said we think our charges are fair.

So - I am assuming that my next letter just needs to be similar and entitled lba. And sent recorded as I see from other threads they can play tricky on whether received or not !!! -

 

what happens to my letter before action if they haven't entered a default against me with the CRA ??

Shall I edit the letter accordingly?

 

And should I add in - as others have done - a quote about a court case precedent regarding charges dating back more than 6y ?

Hi Mum,

 

All template letters should be adapted to reflect your own case and needs.

 

If you don't need a DN removed, omit this paragraph. And include a sentence about relying on s.32 Limitation Act 1980 to claim charges older than 6 years.

 

You'll find good example cases in the Barclays *Successes* Forum and you should read these to see how other won their money from Barclays Bank PLC t/a BC.

Another question !! I wrote to and had a reply from Customer Services in Leics.

I read on another thread that a judgment got set aside when B'card claimed they never got the papers that were sent by Claimant to Northampton. So should I continue to correspond where I have done so far or send to London office? Or do both as a cc ??

The Prelim and LBA can go to Cust'r Svs in Nothants or to Barclays HQ. It doesn't really matter.

 

When you file the claim against Barclays Bank PLC t/a Barclaycard, you will use the Canary Wharf London HQ address.

 

Like I said above, read and understand other threads which contain pretty much everything you need including basic stuff and more complicated.

So letter before action sent off...

with revised spready

Wait and see how they respond to this letter.

 

 

The 14 days that is specified in the template - is it 14 working days? or just 14 days from expected receipt ?

 

 

Sharks were quick to bite after first letter - within 14 days.

Just a straight 14 days after 2 days for delivery is a decent guide.

So what happens when Sharks reply that their position remains the same?

That their first response to my preliminary letter was their final response !!

That they have clearly stated the Bank's position: that they think their charges are fair and in line with costs incurred and comply with relevant legislation & guidance; that complaints should be directed towards the fos ....

 

 

So Sharks have had Prelim & LBA.

So is it quickly to Court Claim now?

 

And...as my current balance is above what I am claiming (in restitution interest & charges repayment) should I continue to make monthly payments as normal to bring down balance?

Hi Mum,

 

If they have said NO to your LBA, then you can proceed with court action.

 

Open up your spready to get up to date interest figures, prepare your POC and File the claim.

 

If you can manage to maintain monthly pay'ts to the a/c for now, do so.

Sorry for the delayed response - haven't had so much spare time to follow this up.

However I've been reading lots of other Bcard posts when I can find time.

I've continued to pay monthly amounts until I am ready to do the POC.

I think shutmeup seems to be the best thread to 'copy'.

Has any legislation changed since 2013/14?

Kids bk to school means I can refocus !

No changes as far as I am aware.

Hi Mum,

 

Any of the more recent BC *WON*cases will provide good guidance. SabreSheep's thread is a bit shorter, or Orge's case. Go through a few and make notes of relevant points.

 

No major changes that I can think of, apart from :-

 

Use the MCOL system to file the claim. See CPR Sections 5 and 6 here about how to submit PoC's that are too big to be filed online - https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules/civil/rules/part07/pd_part07e#5.1

I got side-tracked :-( Am picking up the pieces again, reading other successes and will submit POC over the next week.

 

 

Whilst on here, I am having no response in the Other Financial Services area - Creation section - about the same charges reclaim & CI issue. Can someone please have a look and advise... Thanks
