    • Hmmm, interesting point. In my career, that I am retired from now, there were an immense amount of rules and regulations that one had to adhere to by law. The qualification process is rigorous with on going assessments throughout your career and re-certification every 12 months. If you were shown to be not competent in those rules and regulations you could not hold the position and the operational consequences of that could potentially be dire. In the same respect, perhaps a judge who is not conversant in the rules of POFA should not sit in on cases that requires proficiency in that area? Your last point has just reminded me of something that may help my case, thank you.
    • Just had an email re the my breache in agreement by her rep.   I asked you yesterday if they had asked about her name in the thread being removed.   The issue they have is the Elizabeth turner and genetic pups entry on google.   they knew I did not put it up and told them so in court.  I dnt know how to post on google.   I told them I cannot remove what I did not post.  when i come back here and saw her name gone from threads title, I presumed her reps sought it.   now I get an email saying her names still on google ur breaching the agreement as it’s still on google.

    • How does one obtain the permit? The permit team number is only open between the hours of 9am to 3pm Mon - Fri. It says on the website, To obtain an additional 2 hours, the driver must pay a tariff of £3.00 + booking fees in person at our Security Hut, is that how you get the permit also, from the security hut? What a rigmaroll that would be but maybe just another step to take to try and catch people out?
    • Anotheruser0000 bear in mind that not all Judges are equally versed in the PoFA regulations. Fortunately now most of them are but sometimes a Judge from a higher Court sits in who is well experienced  in Law but not PoFA. and so they sometimes go "offkey" because their knowledge can raise a different set of arguments and solutions. It does seem particularly unfair  when the decision is so  bad . it can also be that in some situations the motorist being a lay person is not sufficiently know ledgeable to be able to counter a Judge's decisions in a way that a barrister could.

    • 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.

Sent this on 9th September using info from ybonline and a phone call to them:-

 

To whom it may concern.

 

Some years ago I had 2 loans with Yorkshire Bank, and it was a condition of the loans that I took out PPI, which I didn’t want or need.

 

For some reason I paid the first loan and associated PPI off early, and I distinctly remember sitting in Yorkshire Bank in xxxxxxx with a member of staff explaining to me how the rule of 78 worked and this being applied to the first PPI for an early redemption charge due to the banks loss of interest charged on the policy. I then had to take out a second policy to cover the new loan that I was taking out. I now know that not only should I not have had to take out the PPI, but the existing PPI should not have been cancelled as it could have covered the second loan, at least in part.

 

As a result of this extra expense there were times when my account went into overdraft, and extortionate charges were incurred, not to mention unpleasant pressure from your bank to pay these off faster than I could afford at the time.

I’m not sure if I lived at the above address at the time, so am providing my previous address for your information.

xx xxxxx xxxx

xxxxxxx

xxxxxxx

 

I would appreciate it if you would provide information regarding this PPI, and how much I am owed, including associated interest.

 

Please let me know if you require further information, but otherwise I hope to hear from you within the 40 day timescale for such requests as advertised on your website.

 

Yours faithfully

 

Caro

Thanks dx. Once I get all the info from the PPI information request I shall certainly be checking it. For info of anyone else thinking of taking on Yorkshire/Clydesdale, the PPI information request is free.

 

 

Will be interesting to see what they produce because the only mention of PPI that came from a SAR a few years back was the payments for PPI on current account statements. If I don't think I've got all I need I'll do another full SAR. I think this started about 15 years ago and in the past I haven't found them the most forthcoming with information. I'm hoping the fine they had from the FCA has focussed their attention.

Got a questionnaire they want completing and returning within 2 weeks. Among other things it says:-

 

In August last year we made improvements to our PPI complaint investigation process to ensure you, our customer, are treated fairly. Unfortunately these changes and the volume of complaints we have received may impact on our timescale in providing you with a final response. If we are unable to provide you with a final response within 56 days we will write to you with an update.

 

So much for the 40 days they advertise on their site. I wonder if the improvements have anything to do with the £20m + fine they got. :lol:

So, they've improved their service, by now taking 56 days instead of 40?.

On the ppi questionnaire it asks about financial circumstances at the time of loan and about monthly outgoings including mortgage/rent, council tax/utilities,other credit commitments, number of dependents.

 

What relevance has any of that got?

I also don't see the relevance of reasons for the loan, if it was to pay off other debts, if I missed payments on the loan the ppi covered.

 

THEY SAID I HAD TO HAVE IT TO GET THE LOAN SO IT WAS MISSOLD!!!'

 

What else is there to say?!

I know I bought a car but I think there was another loan but can't remember what for. Might have been home improvements. ;)

 

I'm sure I sent them an information request but I seem to be the one providing it!

 

Now, what to put about when I first realised there was a problem with the ppi and why I'm now unhappy with it. I was unhappy with it from day 1.

I'll have a look at the fos one. I rather stupidly thought they'd be standard, especially given the hefty fine they had. Forgot YB/CB are a law unto themselves.

I didn't get round to filling a form in before they wrote and apologised for the delay in responding to me. Had another letter the other day:-

 

Dear Caro

 

Please accept our apologies for the delay in reviewing your ppi complaint. We will provide you with a final response by 29 February 2016. Any offer of compensation will include interest at a rate of 8% up to the date we issue our final response to you.

 

It goes on to say my right to go to fos is unaffected by the delay.

 

I'll see what they come up with by 29 Feb but that's the limit of my patience.

Thanks. I tried to get the info a while back but without account numbers etc they couldn't find anything but they've had a hefty fine since so maybe they'll try harder this time. I won't hold my breath.

Happy new year to me!

 

Just had a letter offering me a little over £2k :-D

 

I'm not entirely happy with this as they haven't included charges

 

 

interest is at 8%

 

 

I'm pretty sure I was paying a higher amount.

 

 

Neither have they provided a detailed enough calculation,

 

 

but at least I know this is to come.

 

 

I've got 21 days to respond.

I guess you could say you will accept this as partial settlement of the refund, Caro ? You could also ask for a more detailed calculation and why they haven't included the charges and 8% ?

They have included 8% simple interest but I think I paid 10 or 11% and will question it and ask for more detail. I was also OD a lot at the time and the interest rate on that was high I think. The acceptance letter makes it clear if I accept it's F&F.

 

I'll have a think over the next few days a about whether to accept it or push for more detail and hold out for more. Who knows how long that would take.

They say I had 5, 3 of which had ppi but the other 2 paid off straight away so nothing paid on those. I wasn't with the bank more than about 3 years so seems odd.
