    • That "oh dear" doesn't sound good  
    • Oh dear.. Misuse of facility...  Cat 6... No wonder everything is being nuked from high orbit... More in a bit.. 
    • Thank you fkofilee First question: what do I do if Monzo close my account? I need an account but no one will touch me with this marker against me. Is there anywhere/any other option that I have if Monzo close my account? MCB is My Community Bank?  Yes What Category of Marker do you have? This is what it says on the Cifas SAR: Application date: 07 December 2023 Date recorded: 09 April 2024 Expiry date: 09 April 2030 Cifas Case Identifier: 15435315 Product relating to the application, proposal, account or facility: Personal Loan – Unsecured Facility: Granted Case type: Misuse of facility Reason(s) for filing: Evasion of payment Financial Loss Value of Loss: £5000.00 When did you raise the complaint? Last night via email Do you have Correspondence / Audit Trails of communications showing that you were in severe financial strain due to an event AFTER you took the loan? I can prove that I had to buy a new washing machine, I have my pay slips showing the emergency tax code and a letter from the tax office after I had spoken with them to get it corrected and of course I can get a copy of my vet bill. And all of this was in the first 2-3 months of 2024.  I panicked. Stupid I know and as you say, I have learned the hard way and I am not in any way denying anything that I have done wrong, but it just feels a bit unfair.  It is what it is I guess and if I have to have it on me forever then so be it. I am just so worried about the bank situation 😕    
    • If it is MCB    National Fraud Database Members | Preventing Fraud Losses | Cifas WWW.CIFAS.ORG.UK A range of organisations use the National Fraud Database to share data on confirmed fraud cases, preventing over £1 billion in fraud losses every year.   They are on the register  
    • Hi @LilMissM   I guess you could call me our resident CIFAS Specialist - Personally have been through all of what you have and now have come out the other side when my marker fell off in May 2023. For a start Monzo may close your account but as I had a Marker for App Fraud (Vodafone ended up making a whole hoohah of the account I had with them) - I was with them and still am from Oct 2017 till today. And not once did they close my account. I actually spoke to a couple of current account providers at the time that I had accounts with - Nationwide and Barclays - Told them what was going on and provided all the evidence to them. They advised they may do so but it was highly unlikely now that they understood why it happened and what I was doing to fight it.    Anyway - On to your marker. MCB is My Community Bank?  I can say to you that on experience that On Monday you can be on top of the world then on Tuesday you whole life changes in a flash of an eye. Suddenly you cant pay your bills, Work isnt feasible and you are left with no other choice but to scrape by.  If this has happened to you, then join the club.  - Why is this important? Well Financial institutions get one whiff of potential fraud and you are guilty without a chance to respond. You found out the hard way   If it sounds like I'm waffling, I'm not - Its important to your issue. They have deemed you guilty by the fact that no payments have been made and potentially entered into a loan agreement knowing looking not to pay (Although thats how it may appear, there will always be factors against that)    First off - Questions - What Category of Marker do you have? If unsure, check my signature for a Credit File Guide which will tell you all you need to know about what Categories apply.  - When did you raise the complaint? They will have 8 weeks to respond. More on this in a mo.  - Do you have Correspondence / Audit Trails of communications showing that you were in severe financial strain due to an event AFTER you took the loan?   My next suggestions, Send this complaint to the CEOs office - CEOEMAIL.COM Let them make the decision as per the Complaint Procedure. Then if they refuse to remove the marker. take it to the FOS who can force the company to remove it if found in favour.  Some companies do need a slap or 2 once in a while to bring them down a peg. You could be looking at this right now.

    • 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.

Guess what came in the post today? :-D

 

... Hang on, let's not crack the champagne open just yet!

 

1) they are offering £456, which is a couple of quid short (interest been accruing, you know!), which I could let slide, I suppose. BUT!!!....

 

2) They want confidentiality. Yeah, right, like THAT's gonna happen, cheeky beggars! :mad:

 

So, letter winging its way back to them, and they'd better get a move on an' all, the hearing is next Thursday!

 

I've also said in my letter that since they added £60 of charges since I started my claim, they might save themselves the bother and pay that back at the same time, or I'll start a new claim straight away, but that's really their choice. :-D

 

Right, I'd better go and post that letter, they might get it by Monday then. :-)

Go for it Booky. I have just read on someones thread that they have just submitted their MCOL and are bricking it that they will be the first to end up in court. Sounds like Barclays are feeling the same way.:p

Of COURSE not!!! :rolleyes:

 

What I said was:

 

I refer to your letter dated 27th October.

 

Please note the following points:

 

- Since interest at 8% has been accruing since my last letter, my claim is now standing at £ 458.02. If payment is made in my bank account on receipt of this letter, I am willing to forego the few pence that keep on accruing in the meantime.

- You have since added 2 charges of £ 30.00 on my account. May I suggest, in order to avoid further litigation, that the £ 60.00 get refunded to my account at the same time as the £458.02? This, of course, works at your advantage, insofar that you would not then incur future court fees and interest, but it is totally up to you.

- Please note that there is absolutely no way that I can agree to having conditions imposed on my claim, and will not agree to be bound by confidentiality in any form or shape.

 

Upon confirming receipt of the £ 458.02, I shall notify the Court that I am withdrawing my claim. Until then, my claim continues. If the £ 60.00 of additional penalties have not been refunded at the same time, I will have no choice but to start a second and separate action once this one is concluded.

 

Yours truly,

 

Mrs Bookworm

 

:-D

 

Mind you, I didn't even get the personal attention of the illustrious KJ, mine was signed by Celyn Evans, legal clerk.

Awwww shucks.... :-( I never even got any communications from the man, I got the brief (brief? geddit? ha ha) appearance of Mr St John, and... er, that's it, actually, until Ms. Evans' above missive. What does it TAKE to get them to take a girl seriously??? :razz:

TO ME !!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

Received phone call from MISTER Evans (if you're reading this, I apologise again for calling you Ms. Really.

9.gif)

 

Long and short of it: Yes, they'll pay the extra £2, yes, just score out the confidentiality part, no, they won't refund the other 2 charges, I'll have to start litigation again for that...

:rolleyes:

 

One little thing to be aware of: He wanted me to send him a copy of the confirmation that I am withdrawing my claim BEFORE they could transfer the funds to my account. No chance, said I. Be fair to Barclays, they have never used such tactics, but we do know of banks which said they would pay up, then once claimant had stopped claim, didn't. He argued the opposite, which was what was there to stop me from getting the money and not stopping the claim? Er.... the fact the judge would shoot me down in flames if I tried such a stunt? And strike off my claim? And possibly award cost against me for wasting the court's time? (and quite rightly so too, says I).

 

Anyway, in the end, I said I would fax him a copy of the letter to the court, he would then transfer funds on receipt, and once the money was in my account, then I would drop off the letter to the courts.

 

So, game, set and match, as we always knew it would be. Woo-hooooo!!!!!
