    • I can only speak from personal experience. But a similar thing happened to me. Seriously dented door.  I made the other insurance pay. They regarded it as a write off. Took the money, replaced the door. Never heard anything more about it.    Except clearly someone sold my details to claims company, because I got loads of calls in bad English for a few month's 
    • The incident was 03rd March 2024 - and that was the only letter that I have received from MET 15th April 2024 The charge I paid was at the Stansted Airport exit gate (No real relevance now - I thought this charge was for that!!).   Here is the content of email to them (Yes I know I said I was the driver !!!!) as said above -  I thought this charge was for that!! "Stansted Airport" Dear “To whom it may concern” My name is ??  PCN:  ?? Veh Reg: Date of Incident: 03rd March 2024 I have just received a parking charge final reminder letter, dated 10th April 2024 - for an overstay.  This is the first to my knowledge of any overstay. I am aware that I am out of the 28 days, I don’t mean to be rude, this feels like it is a scam My movements on this day in question are, I pulled into what looked like a service station on my way to pick my daughter and family up from Stansted airport. The reason for me pulling into this area was to use a toilet, so I found Starbucks, and when into there, after the above, I then purchased a coffee. After which I then continued with my journey to pick my daughter up. (however after I sent this email I remember that Starbucks was closed so I then I walked over to Macdonalds) There was no signs about parking or any tickets machines to explains about the parking rules. Once at Stansted, I entered and then paid on exit.  So Im not show where I overstayed my welcome.. With gratitude    
    • Just to enlarge on Dave's great rundown of your case under Penalty. In the oft quoted case often seen on PCNs,  viz PE v Beavis while to Judges said there was a case for claiming that £100 was a penalty, this was overruled in this case because PE had a legitimate interest in keeping the car park free for other motorists which outweighed the penalty. Here there is no legitimate interest since the premises were closed. Therefore the charge is a penalty and the case should be thrown out for that reason alone.   The Appeals dept need informing about what and what isn't a valid PCN. Dummies. You should also mention that you were unable to pay by Iphone as there was no internet connection and there was a long  queue to pay on a very busy day . There was no facility for us to pay from the time of our arrival only the time from when we paid at the machine so we felt that was a bit of a scam since we were not parked until we paid. On top of that we had two children to load and unload in the car which should be taken into account since Consideration periods and Grace periods are minimum time. If you weren't the driver and PoFA isn't compliant you are off scot free since only the driver is liable and they are saying it was you.

    • 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.

 

I recently submitted a complaint to Clydesdale Bank Plc regarding a credit card I had dating from early 1997. The complaint was declined, and I subsequently complained to the Financial Ombudsman.

 

The good news is that the Ombudsman wrote saying that the Clydesdale were going to make me an "offer".

 

Of course, I'm still waiting, and so to pass the time, I've put together a spreadsheet based on a previous one that I've seen used that calculates the PPI amount plus paid CC interest and then adds on statutory simple 8% interest to both.

 

I guess I wanted to know if my assumptions are correct.

 

Depending on the APR that I used, my calculations indicate that I could be due a compensation payment of anywhere from around 8K to > 40K even as high as 76K potentially (depends on how the calc is done).

 

(As background, for a long time before my current job, I was stuck in the proverbial hole, card maxed out, paying interest by the bucketload and also paying late charges and the like - couldn't get out of it - mostly paid the minumum, or ran behind, it was a nightmare!).

 

Potential Claim : 76,484.31

PPI Paid: 4,328.45

CC Interest Paid : 31,759.29

8% Simple on Principle Plus Int : 40,396.57

 

Two questions:

 

1. Have I got the calcs right?

2. Can I claim 8% on the credit card interest that I've calculated to have paid as well (i.e. 8% on the 31K as per my calls, or just 8% on the PPI figure of 4.3K?)

 

Interested in your thoughts people!

That doesn't look right.

 

What you'll get back is all the premiums you paid, plus the interest (at the card rate) paid on those premiums. You won't get a refund of all the interest you paid on the card overall.

 

The 8% will only apply where your card account would've been in credit had it not been for PPI. What Clydesdale ought to do is reconstruct your account to get a picture of what it would have looked like had you not taken out PPI. If there are any occasions where your account would've been in credit, you'll get 8% interest on that amount. You will not get 8% on the total amount - and it may be the case that you'll not be entitled to any interest at 8% at all.

Thanks for that.

 

So since my card had a balance all the time would the interest at the CC rate be calculated back (18.9%) Apr in simple terms since it was incurred (ie is my calculation of interest on say PPI paid 24 pounds subject to CC interest until 2012 or so in theory, given that I never managed to pay my CC off until 2011?)

 

Note: CC interest paid is NOT interest on the whole balance - it's a calculation of interest at the CC rate on each PPI amount from the date of the charge until now) - the assumption is that the card always had a balance.

Well - okay - embarrassingly, here's a picture of my finances at that time.

 

 

I was so stupid with my money and it took me a long time to

(a) realise my issues, and

(b) make sure I paid things off!

 

Sheesh.

 

However, the figures indicate around 57K owing: wow!

 

Not sure how accurate it is, I don't have all my statements, but it's close enough to give an indication I'd say!

FosCISheet v101-lukeyboy1.xls

 

Here's the FOS sheet. It shows a total of :-

 

PPI Paid :- 3497.12

Compound Interest: £34,869.34

Total : £38,366.46

 

Seems like it's in the ball park, I guess? I don't have exact figures to hand, but I think it's fairly accurate as I hang my head in shame in terms of how I ran the account.....lesson learned!

you cant simply nor blindly make up an estimate for a year..

then have a diff estimate in another year

shows you hold no data.

 

 

I take it you simply went in blind without sending an sar first?

should have been the first thing you did

rather than the last.

no matter

you should have enough time before you get to being in a time limit to accept the offer.

 

my only worry is they'll faff you around

as Clydesdale data got moved around lots of times .

 

although[and use this to your advantage:madgrin:]

 

if they are making an offer

they must have the info......

You said you paid off the card in 2011 but you have lots of entries right up to april this year??

 

I still use it and sometimes I will have a balance on it - not at the same level of ten years ago though!

Update : SAR request sent off, that should arrive just before the 8 week deadline, I don't expect Clydesdale to offer before then, from what I have seen!

Yeah. Wish I'd sent them before......

 

The offer is:

 

3751.19 total premiums

1418.12 charges which would not have applied to my account

5183.25 - interest in respect of those premiums and charges

4512.22 - interest at 8 pc monthly credit interest in reconstructed balances

 

It all seems about right - I guess my only real question is the 5k figure - could well be way way higher?

 

What's anyone's throughts on this offer?

Does anyone think I should be asking for compensation in addition, considering I've been mucked around for 3 (nearly 4) years?

I would, FOS have told Canada Square to pay me extra compensation for them mucking me about for 4 and a half years.

REMEMBER! Hunger is the enemy - NOT the hungry!
