    • 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

    • 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 all,

 

Just to let you know where we are up to on this one.

 

DPA letter sent 16th October.

 

I have today received the copy statements and will claim £1,057.60 from them.

 

As I have heard that Nationwide close accounts I will add a few words about them not closing this active account with a few threats that this will cause us to fall behind with Mortgage payments etc.

 

Can anyone suggest wording I can use?

 

Thanks

After delays they were sent the letter before action 3rd Jan.

 

We received a letter 17th Jan declining to repay the charges with a very nice section in it as follow:

 

"We are genuinely sorry that this matter has caused you concern and hope this clarifies the situation and explains why we are unable to refund your charges. If you feel that you are unable to abide by the terms and conditions of your FlexAccount then regrettably it may be an appropriate time for you to consider changing your account to another provider."

 

Sounds like they are threatening me. Well I ask all of you who have accounts with Nationwide to follow my example and close them!!!!!!:o

Acknowledged MCOL today. We seems to be on the same time line. As I understand it sometimes they say they are coing to defend and don't or just do nothing. Either way they seem to just start putting money into your account in dribs and drabs.

After winning against the Nationwise, we today received a very nice letter from them stating their intention to close our account.

 

Here is my reply to them to be posted to them tomorrow:

 

Your comments on this letter are most welcome.

 

Thank you for your very kind letter of 6th February 2007 regarding you intention to close our accounts with yourselves.

We are truly shocked that you intend to take this action.

The legal action we took against yourselves was not regarding the conduct of this account, rather the regime of 'fees' you operate and if they were lawfully and in a manner which complies with UK law.

By not contesting this in a court of law, and repaying these to ourselves, your organization has admitted to these charges being unlawful.

If as you state in your letter that we as your customers are “unwilling to conduct our account in accordance with your Flex Account Terms and conditions”, you also have broken your own terms and conditions.

We therefore argue that your intention to close our account is a malicious, disproportionate reaction to our “penalty charges” complaint. You have acted against the advice of your own professional body; The Banking Code Standards Board. (We note that the Abbey have stated that they will be following this advice). You may want to note that the Ombudsman has just adjudicated in a complaint against the Alliance & Leicester on a complaint that the A&L closed a customer’s account in response to a claim for bank charges. The FOS decided that the closure was indeed unfair as it was punitive and retaliatory.

We hereby serve notice that unless we hear back from you by Friday 16th February that you have reversed this decision we will take the following action.

· File a complaint with the FOS.

· Take out an injunction against this action and sue for damages.

· Start a leaflet campaign outside your branches advising customers how to reclaim their charges and where to get advice.

Yours faithfully,

I would take out the last bit about leafleting outside the branch as you may have read in the campaigns bit, but apart from that seems ok

After winning against the Nationwise, we today received a very nice letter from them stating their intention to close our account....Expect any different did U??...lol...;)

 

Here is my reply to them to be posted to them tomorrow:

 

Your comments on this letter are most welcome.

 

· File a complaint with the FOS.

If U feel so strongly inclined, U have my whole-hearted support!

It costs Nationwide for every complaint.

There is the OFT approach also, I believe?!

· Take out an injunction against this action and sue for damages.

U would have to quantify the damages in monetary terms.

The injunction may take time and money better put to use elsewhere?!

· Start a leaflet campaign outside your branches advising customers how to reclaim their charges and where to get advice.

NOT advisable on legal grounds!...Also, who pays for the leaflets btw???

 

Best of Luck!

I think it's really bad that NW want to close your account. They have admitted their charges were wrong when they gave them back to you.

 

I hope your letter works but I have to agree that the leaflet campaign would not be a good idea. You may attract Police attention and I'm sure that a good citizen like you wouldn't want that. I do totally agree with the principals though.

 

I'm chasing them for £120 so I will let everybody know the outcome.

 

Good luck - can't wait to hear if you win!

OK, Here we go.

 

After appearing on Watchdog 20.02.07 I again contact Nationwide to see if they had changed their mind, but they still aim to close my account.

 

I am now planning to get an injunction against them and sue them.

 

If anyone has any idea's on the wording I should use and how I go about this please let me know.

 

Just in case I have reactivated an old Woolwich account, which will be great when Woolwich pay up as well!!

 

Will update once the next stages start, but I am now planning to leaflet Nationwide branches, but I am now very good with Words.

 

If anyone can help me on that front, and once ready help me on this as well that would be great.

 

First target will me Morden Branch then move out from there!!!:lol:

Have U also NOT considered going down the route of starting and leading a campaign to have the Nationwide De-mutalise???

They are STILL a Building Society and should be putting their members 1st, as they have no shareholders to make profits for, and therefore, even more so, should NOT be debiting unlawful Charges and closing accounts!!!

Despite any caveats with regards not receiving any benefits from any potential floatation. It should be remembered that Nationwide's % rates are not market leading.

Just imagine how the Nationwide Board would squirm @ the thought of 100,000 CAG members having Flexaccounts and forcing the Board to seek alternative employment if they were not to change their current policies??!!

Am sure that U may have more success than your proposed local Demo?!

Viva la Resistance!...Comrade!!...;)
