    • Morning all, a while since I've been here....I contacted my bank regarding the matter and they took the decision to take "charge back" action against QVC, I initially got the money back and then letters from QVC basically stating I had defaulted on my payments and owed them the money Nationwide had claimed back, just as BF speculated they would. In short I repaid QVC to avoid having debt collectors after me, and having contacted CAB am now in the process of writing to Evri outlining my claim. CAB provided me with a basic template for the letter so I'll see how that goes. Regards.
    • Well you could say that you have pictures where the signs were not on the wall where you parked so would require strict proof of when they were erected . But in any case it was dark so even if a sign was there you didn't see as it was not illuminated. Little point in not having signs that can be seen at night though it obviously makes it easier to issue PCNs and pursue motorists claiming they have breached non contractual contracts whilst breaching those same motorist's GDPR.
    • It fizzled out, they kept delaying the complaints process. In the end I believe they stopped charging me for a bunch of services, unsure if it was deliberate or a mistake so I stopped bringing it up. Ultimately we bought a house and moved out.
    • There are so many factors, and local elections are often far more about local issues and people, but the one previously general rule in a general election are that the hard core Tories vote Tory and hard core Labour voters vote labour   Gaza seems to have dulled both the muslim and Jewish labour votes more than the Tories - and I can see why - but do the muslim voters really think that the Tories will do ANYTHING other than talk and then do whatever the Americans say - and thats support Israel whatever they do first and foremost in real terms? Reform has unquestionably affected the Tory local vote - so should affect the GE vote a bit more, but has largely been factored in - reform isnt new in any way - its all Brexitish although there seem to be far more ex 'conservative' core reform/ukip/brexitish voters than ex 'labour' core voters - about 6-8% of the national vote in a GE seems to me. A little up on prior brexitish/faragits scores But the large swathes of center ground voters who decide who wins the election seem to have utterly deserted the Tories in their millions - although they have gone to labour, libdems and greens - and many real conservatives are in limbo despite Sunak being naturally more a thatcherite than most - his party currently seems far less so. Johnson promised much, and many were taken in, just as people (inc me) made that mistake with Farage in the early days - but we now know that they are self serving liars who can't be trusted with anything - although I still think it likely The Liar will be back - but most likely after the GE (60/40) Starmer is lacking in charisma and presence, but others in his cabinet should shine. But Corbynistas could still cause trouble - another group that seem happy to drag everything down if they think it suites   Johnson perhaps could reunite some of the Tory party - but he seems to have numerous criminal and political convistions sitting in the background should he try Lying about giving preference to dogs in the Afghan evacuations - and lying about it Unlawfully proroguing parliament embezzlement re funds and spending (eg flat referb) .. repeatedly Taking jobs before he should after being booted - should lose his PM pension and rights over that IMO the list goes on ad nauseam
    • Hi I am negotiating with my ex (commercial) landlord's solicitor for a debt I owe for rent. This has been going on for a little while and I expect they may go ahead with the court action they threaten. I wanted to ask however, In the event this action goes ahead, I think will have a response pack sent to me from the court, along with the claim. Google tells me that a section of this response pack is a 'Admit the claim and ask for time to pay'. Would this time to pay, if accepted also mean a CCJ registered against me? Thanks

    • 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

 

 

First of all did you use the standard template letter that is on this wiki page? http://www.consumerwiki.co.uk/index.php/PPI I looked at various templates and info on this and other web sites and adjusted what i found to suit. It's important to take out all the bits that don't apply as the templates can be a bit OTT for your complaint.

 

Secondly how do you calculate the interest on PPI? I found some excel spreadsheets here http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/content.php?559-Interest-Calculation-Spreadsheets but I think these are for CC charges rather than interest on PPI? I didn't like the template ones so (with some pointers from Pompeyfaith) I did my own calcs.

 

Also, when you write to them do you tell them the total amount you are 'claiming' back or do you include the spreadsheet with the calculations? I did.

 

I'd be grateful for any pointers you can give and good luck with your mission!

I'll try and find the link that Pompeyfaith sent me to and post it up.

Well Slick

 

I didn't particularilly want a thread, I was infact giving support to MandM and exchanging views. I thought the idea of the forums was to get discussion, I have seen many threads on CAG that have gone off topic completely but have not been edited like this.

You have infact removed posts that MandM made which are relevant to his thread.

I would rather you had just deleted my "non relevant posts" from MandMs thread, and not moved MandMs posts.

Hi all,

 

This has taken a rather peculiar twist. I've not pursued the PPI on this for some time, but it's been a good tool for keeping Egg and their muppets at bay.

 

I've had a notification from Egg that my old Egg card (£5k debt) has been sold to Barclays/Barclaycard. My issue with this is that I bank with Barclays AND my only surviving card is also with them.

 

As Barclays have bought the Egg debt and, up until now, I've always refused to negotiate on it and paid very little, can Barclays now use the Egg debt to raid my bank account?

 

Obviously this is a big concern and will now doubt affect others in the same boat. Any links to similar situations would be greatly appreciated.

 

Mike

Hi M&M - long time, no hear. :wink:

 

You've already seen that Barclays can and will raid a Barclays bank a/c to pay arrears on an Egg debt.

 

Turning this around slightly,Barclays announced at the start of the week that they will settle all PPI claims on Barclays a/c's that were made before 20th April 2011.

 

So I wonder if they'll also settle Egg PPI claims in the same manner, on their "no quibble" basis.

 

:wink:

Hi Slick,

 

Too long! Hope you're well and life is good for you.

 

The thought had crossed my mind lol. We've already had the 'surrender' letter from an old Woolwich loan which was put on hold last November. Will post that one up when we get some movement, but looking good so far :wink:

 

I'm assuming that as the correspondance for this card from Egg suggests that BC now own the account, warts and all, then the PPI issue becomes their problem also. If so, it could make the PPI claim worth another shot as there's less likelihood of my 'other' Egg issue muddling things i.e. the other £25k I owe Egg (allegedly lol).

From what I read about the acquisition, the Egg name will continue to be used for the credit card product and it will be separate from BC.

 

So perhaps it'll be Barclays Bank PLC t/a Egg.

hi have been paying off this account since defaulted on it many years ago when it was still with Egg. Since then I understand Barclaycard have bought out Egg Card

 

Think I got a letter from them but cant find it now.

 

I am thinking of going to Barclaycard to ask for my PPI back

with the view to paying off the outstanding amount. :wink:

 

Originally asked Egg back in late 2000's but they said no.

Didn't know about the FOS then so by the time we did ask it was to late.

 

Having found out this week that Barclaycard are paying out PPI claims that were refused years ago even ones that went to court and lost I am thinking it might be worth a shot :pray:

Yes, I may as well give it a pop and I'll post the result up here.

 

I've had another Egg related issue hanging in the background that may have confused this but that's jusy gone beyond the SB limit and, luckily for me it seems, they seem to have forgotten all about chasing that one up.

 

Which opens the way for me to pursue this one.

 

I'll have a bit of a game with BC for a while and see where it takes us.

Well put in the claim and Barclays have come back with their response

 

they are sticking to the fact that I applied for the PPI on line, blah blah blah :blabla:

and obviously because its past the FOS deadline cant do a lot.

 

Its annoying because I know I was missold this but I will have to wait until such a time as the FOS admit that they were wrong with their time limits and let everyone put their arguments in again.

 

Not even sure if going down the court action route will work

Certainly was dx. However, as I missed the boat with the FOS it leaves me in the tricky position of me having to take them to court and the onus of proof will then sit squarely with me.

 

 

I had my DSAR info way back from Eggy themselves and I can't find anything in there that gives me the ammunition to go at them with so, short of an admission of them pre-ticking, it's all a bit of a risk. If they call my bluff and go for a pre-hearing prior to allocation the costs could run into a few thousand which is a big risk I can't afford.

 

 

If I were to be totally honest I'm not confident that I DIDN'T tick a box.

 

 

I thought about farming this out to a claims company and let them take the risk but they only seem interested in going the FOS route (which isn't an option here) as they love an easy life.

Thanks again DX. Sooo long ago now! But prompted me to read through the history again.

 

 

Will think some more but doubtful that I'll progress this.
