    • thats not the way to do it sorry. sorry so what is your problem? that vanquis paid the £560 or that they are now chasing it? how old is this debt? dx  
    • If you visited Qatar you could be detained at the border, if the debt has been notified.  If you are only in transit and do not seek to cross border into Qatar you might be ok, but you may want to seek formal advice about this.
    • Howdy, I had a short lived credit card with Vanquis that I did not need. I paid it off in full and called them and closed it with the person at the other end. 2 months later they started sending me messages about late payments, I called them and to find out that the card had not been closed in error and 6 weeks after it should have been closed they paid a google debit of £560. I hit the roof and made a formal complaint that took them well over a month to respond to. They agreed they were at fault, refunded all late payments fees and offered me £100 in compensation. However they said the debit amount stood as 'I had benefit from it' and I should get a refund from google. I hit the roof again but they have stuck to their guns. The debit from google is a genuine one but I wanted to dispute it with google so closed the card so they would have to engage with me. But surely that's neither here nor there surely? What is the next step? Ombudsman takes forever doesn't it?  thanks in advance
    • Yes, it struck me this morning that I'd got it wrong    - no involvement of UKPPO in any previous Tesco thread    - there would have been an entrance sign to a Tesco car park    - CCTV isn't something associated with Tesco car parks. Presumably whoever runs the car park has put CCTV at the electric, and probably BB, areas, done absolutely nothing to stop abuse, and then rubs their hands in glee every time the CCTV catches a motorist out. You can pay £60 and this will go away. Or you can defy UKPPO and rely on their non-respect of POFA, consideration period, etc., should they be daft enough to do court later down the line.  We would support you all the way.
    • Good evening folks, i have my hearing tomorrow at 3pm. I have never been to court for a civil matter, what is likely to happen  and what do i need to do?  I plan on going straight from work, i finish at 2pm, it will take about half an hour to get there, does that sound ok? I called the court late this afternoon, sadly i was too late in the day and the office was closed.

    • 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'm trying to claim back bank charges from Abbey & sent my prelim letter to them last week. I've received 2 almost identical replies from 2 different people in 2 different departments at Abbey both stating they're looking into my complaint and will write to me again within 4 weeks. I don't know which would be the best to reply to, can anyone help?

 

The first letter was from Marc Winder, Head of Complaints and the second letter was from Antony Turbitt, Business Manager Banking Servicing. I phoned the complaints dept. & they said they are dealing with my case & don't know why I also received a letter from Antony Turbitt. The complaints dept. letter actually shows a contact number in England & the other letter shows the normal 08459724724 number so I think it would be easier to deal with the complaints dept as they'll understand me when I call. Does anyone know which department would be the best to handle this or shall I just send my reply to both?

Hi, I am in the final stages of reclaiming, it does not really matter who you send the letters to, as it seems to be someone different at every stage, but make sure they go recorded or special delivery to their registered address, which is below, Don't bother phoning them or waiting x amount of days on their letters just stick to the plan in frequent asked questions/stage by stage.

 

Abbey National Bank plc

Abbey House

2 Triton Square

Regent’s Place

Thanks a lot for your reply, that's a big help. Perhaps Abbey are just trying to confuse me (from reading other threads I think they do that a lot). I'm determined to follow this through to the end & will reply to the main address as you suggest. Cheers & best of luck with your claim.

I tried to send a recorded delivery to this address and it seems to have gotten "lost" with no trace. I queried with the Post Office and they said that postcode doesnt exist for the Abbey and the letter will be returned to me as undeliverable.

 

I resent it Next Day Delivery and it seems to have gotten through. I have sent copy to Head Office & local branch just to be on the safe side.

I do not understand that as that is the address I am comunicating with and have had a response. Anyway, if your letter has now got through that is good. Good Luck with your claim.

I think that them sending responses from different addresses and the 'lost' post are delay tactics!

 

My suggestion is, whatever address you use, send the letter 'signed for' and then if it doesn't show as delivered on the Royal Mail site within a reasonable time take 2 copies of the letter into your local branch, get one of the staff to sign and stamp both copies, ask them to put one in the internal post and keep the other for your records.
