    • threads merged for clarity. Looks like they've accepted F&F and you have proof of acceptance. See what they say on your credit report, it can take a couple of reports to update depending on when Barclaycard declares it as partially settled/satisfied. Best not to post up and go radio silent though. 
    • So you have your refund? If you have your refund what's the problem?? What money have you wasted in getting a refund/ how have you wasted money in getting a refund? You can't sue them because they took too long to refund. The emails I gave you earlier were because I thought you didn't get a refund yet. If you already have it im not sure what your expecting?
    • Octopus are very approachable so I would suggest you contact them, advise them paying the amount in one go is going to cause you hardship and ask if it could be paid off at an agreed rate of an additional £xx to the next few months bills. I'd be surprised if they didn't agree.
    • Dear Forum Can someone read the letter I received from Barclaycard and comment, I made an offer for full and final settlement of a Barclaycard debt and received this letter as terms of the agreement and acceptance of my offer. I have paid the money. My credit file is still not updated to show the settlement and when I enquired on the phone, they confirmed the account was closed and I would not have to pay the outstanding balance, I pointed out that the payment I made was for the final settlement of the outstanding balance, and that they agree to clear the rest of the debt and why were they still referring to a balance, the person went off and spoke to a manager and said what they mean by clear the debt is to clear my liability to pay the balance, that is not how I understand clearing a debt to mean, I did not argue further as I thought to wait to see how the settlement is described in my credit file when it is updated as sometimes the person you talk to on the phone does not know what is going on.   They are saying there is nothing to pay and the account is closed, but I worry are they up to something?   Barclaycard.pdf
    • bobandi,  Has your Ex made a domestic abuse/violence allegation about you to police, specifically that she is a victim of financial coercive control by you? Are you currently awaiting a CPS charging decision, presumably under the Domestic Abuse Act? You said earlier that you are expecting a decision on whether to charge you this week or next.  If this is your position I assume you are on police bail. If so is it a bail condition that you do not contact your Ex? So can't ask her what her debts are?

    • 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 everyone, I hope all is well with youre claims.

I sent my preliminary letter today, 10th-11-06. along with a list of 102 charges totalling £4555.50. This is without o/d interest.

I have left out the interest as I have no doubt this will go as far as a court claim, and so with the 8% that I add on at that stage, claiming for o/d int will push me over the 5k barrier, this I dont want to do. All I want is my charges back.

I have been in conversation with a few work collegues who are interested in pursuing the same goal as myself.

So expect a few more members CAG.

I did make one little mistake. After sending in my claim, I went over the statements again and it seems ive missed 2 charges totalling £40.00.

The list they have all adds up perfectly as these two charges were not on there. Will this make a difference? good luck all.:)

Just a quick one, am I able to claim back charges of £10.00 or is this amount allowed to be charged. The question is past tense now as I have already entered these on the list of charges which Ive already sent.

But I understand I can amend any mistake in the next letter. [l.b.a.]

thanks to anyone who has an answer. Once again good luck to you all.:)

Could anyone help me please. I have sent the prelim letter with a list of charges totalling £4595.50. I have not claimed the o/d interest as I expect the claim to reach at least the n1 form stage at which point I can add on the statutory 8%. With the o/d int, my claim will exceed 5k, which I do not want to do. Can I still win my case without claiming the o/d int?

Incidentally, the bank has 4 days left to reply before the 14 day limit is up.

Im sure you'll understand Im not optimistic of a reply. GOOD LUCK ALL!:-x

totally normal for hsbc. keep to the timetable, you may not hear from them right until after you file your mcol. use the next 14 day wait to prepare your mcol. you can register with them - have your own little place to go in and out at will and get your particulars written, etc. do everything right up to paying the fee and clicking submit which you will be ready to do 14 days after posting your lba. keep it going.....

Hello again all,I am about to send in my LBA letter as I have had no response to the prelim letter,and the 14 days are up.

Im not really expecting a reply to lba either, so Im preparing my list of charges along with the statutory 8% interest added on.

Im not claiming contractual interest, I just want my bloody charges back and then this bank is history.

Unfortunately I dont know which spreadsheet in vampiress's chambers Im to use, can anyone help please.

Also does anyone know how I can get hold of a copy of the cd by Peter McNamara? any help is most welcome, as always good luck all.:confused:

McNamara here:

Use the Simple S/S here:

Overwrite the existing examples type of charge, amount and date.

 

The days since and 8% will be calculated automatically

 

Save it (for use later at court), then delete/hide the last 2 columns (8% bits) and print out as your schedule of charges.

all the info you need is in the library, the faqs and the step by step info.

here's the link to the spreadsheet; 6. Interest calculation spreadsheets

go down in that link to the list at the bottom of the thread - use england - advanced - excel (or works). did you not do this before you sent your prelimin. else how did you know how much to ask for? maybe you mean you just added up your charges from your statements. on the spreadsheet there are two tabs at the bottom, one for charges and interest - which is the one you do to find out how much you are claiming for the chrges plus the portion of the interest they have charged you on that interest, this total you are using for your prelim and lba, the other tab is 8% interest - when you do that one use the date that you anticipate filing your cliam - 14 days from your lba, it then figures days since the charge incurred to the date you are filing on each line and you come up with the 8% you will use in your claim.

 

p.s. it would make it easier if you pm a moderator and ask for your threads to be merged. makes life easier for us to help you.

Hello

 

Did you claim your charges and the 8% interest or just charges in the end? I need to fill my claim forms in but dont know how to work out the interest.. am tempted to just ask for the £1,050 they owe me and the £120 court fees - do you think that would be ok??

You can claim 14 days after your LBA, but there's no rush or deadline for filing. The important thing is to get it right first time/

 

Use the Simple S/S here:

:confused: Hi all, could someone help please. I am awaiting a reply from my LBA letter, now Im pretty sure Im not going to get one so Im preparing to send in the N1 claim form after the 14 day wait is up. Im not going to use mcol, Im going to my local court to pick up the N1, once I have this I understand I need to fill it in with the particulars of claim info that is found in the bank templates section plus my personal info that is required. Now the bit Im confused about, once Ive got a complete N1 plus a schedule of charges including the 8% stat interest I send this to the bank, RIGHT?

Do I also send a copy to the court along with my payment which in my case will be £120.00? I cant find any info in the faqs that is clear on this.

HELP PLEASE! PANICKING!!!!!!!!

Also I presume I send the N1 to their head office and not my local branch as I have with the previous letters. ANY ADVICE IS MOST WELCOME, AND I THANK ALL THE GOOD PEOPLE THAT HAVE ADVISED ME SO FAR.
