    • a chargeback via a paypal account used in an ebay sale doesn't usually result in funds being sucked from your bank account,  just that you attain a paypal negative balance. as you saying the money was taken by paypal from your bank account without you authorising this? or is it directly the buyers name that is shown? regarding the chargeback but either way you bank account HAS been debited? dx  
    • what solicitor is the PAPLOC from? then just search xxxx snotty letter dx  
    • moved to the debt self help forum. plenty of like threads here to read along with the ones you've done so far..good work. last thing you ever want to do is look at any kind of IVO/BK or anything alike concerning consumer debt, never do that, turns unsecured debts into secured ones in many instances. your best bet for now is p'haps looks at  Options for dealing with your debts: Breathing Space (Debt Respite Scheme) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) sadly you have to go thru one of the free debt charities to invoke that but DON'T be tempted to also open up a DMP with them, just get the Breathing Space done. get that in place that gives you at leasy 60 days buffer you've also goto to realise you'll probably get a default once breathing space is in place, bit if not it might pay you to withhold payments even after BS then p'haps re start payments once a DN for each debt is issued and registered. at least that way, whatever happens in 6yrs the debt will drop off dx  
    • Hello, I am a private seller and recently sold a pair of trainers on eBay.  Everything seemed fine until just after the eBay 30 day mbg had expired.  The buyer contacted me with photos showing me that both shoes had ripped.  He wanted his money back, and after refusing to refund him, he then left me retaliatory and defamatory feedback on my profile to the effect that I had sold him fake trainers (this was removed by eBay).  He then initiated a chargeback via Paypal.  Invariably, the outcome was in his favour, and I have now been charged for the cost of the trainers.  I would have also been stung for the chargeback fee, but eBay refunded this.  Incidentally, I do have the email receipt of the trainers from when I bought them from a well-established and bona fide online retailer.  The susbequent conversation with eBay followed its predictable course, i.e. the chargeback is out of their hands etc. I have been in contact with citizens advice, and my bank.  Citizens advice told me that as a private seller I'm responsible for the "Title and description" of the goods, but not the performance, or the fitness for purpose.  To me it is clear; if you receive something that's not as described, you don't then use the goods, and more than 30 days later claim 'not as described'.  In my mind, this makes the claim fraudulent.  He's used the 'they're fake' card to give credence to a 'not as described' claim here, obviously, without any evidence.  My understanding is that the chargeback is unlawful, because the trainers were shipped as described.  However, I read something on an eBay forum regarding sellers having no statutory rights, i.e. no right to appeal against a chargeback decision, or to complain to the financial ombudsman.  Does this mean that if my bank disputes the charge on my behalf, it will be to no avail, even if it's recognisably a fraudulent chargeback?  I have reported it via the Action fraud website. Any advice, anyone?  Would be most grateful!
    • Thank you, I have drafted my letters and started to complete the reply form, printed from this site and not using the one they provided.    2 questions, on the forum link it says to tick box D & I, the reason for box D will be given on my thread, what would my answer be to "I dispute the debt"?  Do I send anything for the Vodafone debt they have included?  I've only done 118 loan s. 77 & capital one credit cards so. 78    Thank 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 Alice,

 

The address you used for the SAR is fine. My concern was that you can't use RM Signed For delivery with a PO Box address.

 

So reply to the letter as I said above.

 

:-)

We could do with some help from you

Hi All,

 

Feeling very Frustrated with Barclays!!!

 

Sent off the recommended letter regarding their decision and my SAR to Barclays Leicester by Royal Mail Second Class recorded on Friday. Should have arrived by now but hasn't been signed for.

 

This is the second letter sent in February to that address, the first letter sent on the 13th February First Class recorded still hasn't got there.

 

It makes me think they reject signed for mail.

 

How can I get a letter to them and know that it has been received?

 

Should I try special delivery?

 

Or just send one normally with a certificate of posting and ask in the letter that they confirm receipt in writing?

 

Any advice greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks Alice.

Give it a few more days for the bank to sign for your letter, or not.

 

Let us know next week.

Thanks in advance for any advice; it is greatly appreciated.

Hi Alice,

 

 

Have you asked R Mail where the letter(s) is and why it's not been signed for. It could be that they have failed to report successful delivery.

 

There were 2 letters - 1 to Leicester about the decision to reject your claim; and 1 to London HQ with the SAR.

 

For each letter, please confirm if it's been signed for or replied to yet.

I asked at the delivery office and they could only see what I could see on the tracking; they gave me the customer services number to ring which I will do tomorrow.

 

The SAR letter to the London address was received and I have delivery confirmation for this. As of today I have had no correspondence regarding my application for information and the cheque has not been cashed.

 

I have sent two letters recorded delivery to Leicester:

 

The first regarding their letter about returning my questionnaire; this was not signed for but I think they received it because I sent it on a Friday and I received the phone call from them regarding the claim on the following Wednesday or Thursda.The man said that he had enough information: this suggests to me that he was saying that he did not need the questionnaire, so did he receive my letter?

 

The second was the letter I sent regarding their decision, this has not been signed for and I have had no correspondence in response to the letter.

 

Thanks Alice

Spoke to Rm, my tracking number for the reply to their decision is now listed as missing. They said that Barclays might have the letter as signed for mail is signed for in bulk by big companies. I told them it was important I have proof of delivery; they said if I resend using special delivery I will definitely get a signature.

 

Regarding my SAR still no correspondence, cheque still not cashed. The 40 days is up on Monday (In my count I included weekends).

 

Thanks CuriousBee for your advice, but I really need them to give me all info in paper format.

 

Thanks Alice

I am waiting for my SAR as well, and they have not cashed the cheque. At lease Claire was able to tell me that they are in their 21 days of 40 days and I will get it in further two and a half weeks. I believe she is the UK complaints managing agent.

 

Good luck - I am sure it won't be long now and you will get it sorted.

FYI Barclays are terribly slow at getting SAR's out in time, mine took almost 4 months.

On the plus side, they will compensate for the error if it is late.

I'd complain to RM about their failure. You've paid for your item to be signed for and RM's tracking system should tell you where the item was last logged.

 

Send the chasing letter if the SAR is late.

Hi Alice - I got my SAR documents today. But they have not included any application forms or agreements with the documents. I may have to send a separate CCA letter for that.

 

Please call that telephone number I gave you. The lady I spoke to was very helpful and she said the documents will be sent to my nearest branch and today I went and collected it.

 

I was surprised as I only sent the letter on 23rd February. Ask for the UK complaints manager.

 

Good luck.

Hi CB,

 

The SAR is a request for data about you held by the bank but they're not obliged to produce specific copy documents.

 

As you say, only a CCA request will produce a credit agreement/application.

 

Sorry to Alice for the highjack.

Update:

 

Today I recieved some information in response to my SAR.

 

The information came from the Subject Access Request Team at Leicester. I was very disappointed with what they have sent, I received:

 

Reams of dot matrix printed Informatiom relating to my Barclaycards and also my Rbs credit card.

 

And a 'DATA PROTECTION ACT SUBJECT ACCESS REPORT' consisting of 41 pages which to be honest has very little information in it.

 

This is all that I have received.

 

The report has no references to me opening the Additions account in May 96, closing the Additions account on Sunday 01/02/98 or any reference to me re-opening an Additions account in April 98.

 

The only reference it has; is to me supposedly upgrading to Additions plus on 21/06/05. In the 'Notepad Details' section:

 

Note pad text:

 

'customer would like to upgrade to add plus from additions for comprehensive travel insurance no further on required please sanction'

 

The thing is in the period of 2003 to 2008 I didn't go on holiday at all and I have only been abroad on holiday once in 1994. Most of my holidays out of this period have been camping so I would never have upgraded for comprehensive travel insurance. Also as I have said previously I had just found out that there was a significant chance that I would be made redundant, so I certainly would not have been planning any holidays at that time.

 

On the report it days 'data extracted 13/02/17' so it's taken a month for me to receive it.

 

In the covering letter it does say:

 

'If there is other information that you expected to receive in response to your request please let us know, providing as much specific detail as you can to help us locate what you want'

 

So should I ask for information relating to my closing and re-opening additions In 1998?

 

The covering letter also says:

 

'due to the type of information requested, there may be multiple packaged files sent to you by secure post'

 

Does this mean I may receive more information from other Barclays locations/ departments?

 

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi Alice,

 

You should assume for now that you've rec'd all they're sending.

 

But go through it all v carefully to make sure nothing is overlooked.

 

If you feel certain important data about you is missing, go back to them to query this.

 

Let us know what you're going to do, or if you need suggestions.

There was nothing much in my bundle of documents either. One of the statements did not have any data - that is the one I am querying. I think there is a telephone number on the letters that they sent so you can call them up if you are not happy or expecting something that you need.

Hello all

 

I have been reading this with a lot of interest as I have received my statements from Barclays. However, they do have a specific address in Leicester for SARs. They have also sent me my Egg Card statements. I do not wish to hijack Alices thread but this my first post on CAG and was wondering if anybody had been successful in claiming back fees from Barclays Additions accounts?

 

Many thanks in advace
