    • That is great news. Many people would have given up and paid after losing two appeals so well done for hanging in and fighting. It has paid off and they have finally backed down before getting whipped in Court. I looked at your NTD and your NTK again to see if there was a chance of going for a breach of your GDPR. Sadly although your NTK on its own could have well deserved a claim, the NTD is good enough not to warrant a claim even though it wasn;t compliant with PoFA. As it is the first Notice that mostly accounts for  GDPR breaches there is a reasonable cause for the NTD to have been issued. However you are now freed from worries about appearing in Court and you have learnt about the dangers of parking especially where the rogues that patrol private parking spaces are concerned. Thank you for making a donation and should you fall victim in the future to the parking rogues or anything else that we protect from, you are always welcome .
    • Hi guys I'm about to submit the defence as per below     There has been no reply to our CPR 31:14 request.  Is it worth adding that I (driver, not registered keeper) didn't actually enter or park in the car park and was sat at the petrol station forecourt the entire time?  Or is that covered by the simple points?   Thanks
    • a DCA is not a bailiff and cant enforce anything, even if they've been to court who are they please? sar to the original creditor FIO isnt applicable they are not a public body. who was this query sent too all the more reason to teach her young upon how these powerless DCA's monsters  work... she must stop payments now  
    • Unsettling the applecart?,  I'm going to be direct here, I know how this works , I've been in far worse situation than your relative, and I can assure you , now that there i likely a default in her name, it makes absolutely ZERO difference if she pays or not. Denzel Washington in the Equalizer , 'My only regret is that I can't kill you twice'... It's the same with a default, they can only do it once and it stays on your credit file for 6 years if she pays or not, and as it stands right now she's flushing £180 of her hard earned money down the toilet  so that the chaps at Lowell can afford a Christmas party. As for the SAR this is everybody's legal right, originally under the Data Protection act 1998 and now under GDPR, it's her right to find out everything that the original Creditor has on her file, and by not doing it the only person she is doing a massive disservice to is her self. As the father of 2 young adults myself, they need to learn at some point.. right?
    • Thank you for your pointers - much appreciated. dx100uk - Apologies, my request wasn't for super urgent advice and I have limited online access due to my long working hours and caring obligations - the delay in my response doesn't arise in any way from disrespect or ingratitude. I will speak to her at the weekend and see if she will open up a bit more about this, and allow me to submit the subject access request you advise - the original creditor is 118 118 loans and from the letter I saw (which prompted the conversation and the information) the debt collection agency had bought the debt from 118 and were threatening enforcement which is when she has made a payment arrangement with them for an amount of £180 per month. It looks as if she queried matters at the time (so I wonder if I might with the FIO request get access to their investigation file?) - the letter they wrote said "The information that you provided has been carefully considered and reviewed. After all relevant enquiries were made it has been confirmed that there is not enough evidence present to conclusively prove that this application was fraudulent.  However, we have removed the interest as a gesture of goodwill. As a result of the findings, you will be held liable for the capital amount on the loan on the basis of the information found during the investigation and you will be pursued for repayment of the loan agreement executed on 2.11.2022 in accordance with Consumer Credit Act 1974"  The amount at that time was over £3600 in arrears, as no payments had been made on it since inception and I think she only found out about it when a default notice came in paper form. I'm a little reluctant to advise her to just stop paying, and would like to be able to form a view in relation to her position and options before unsetting the applecart - do you think this is reasonable? She is young and inexperienced with these things and getting into this situation has brought about a lot of shame regarding inability to sort things out/stand up for herself, which is one of the reasons I have only found out about this considerably later Thank you once again for your advice - it is very much appreciated.

    • 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 There

I have been reading this site with interest and recently began to try and claim back my bank charges from Lloyds TSB. I have sent the first letter asking for details of charges debited from my account in the last 6 years along with authorisation to debit the £10 fee from my account. I have now received a letter back stating that the bank has 40 days to respond (which i estimate to be 10 November) but they havent debited the £10 fee from my account as yet. What should I do?

Dont worry some banks do not charge you. You have their conformation letter so you are ok, just wait for the 40 days.:-D

But their letter to me stated that i should sign the attached letter to give permission to debit £10 from my account - which is what i did but to date it has not been debited

 

ok ring them or write to them and tell them that you have sent the signed letter back, explain that as far as you are concerned the 40 days have started from your iinitial request.

I rang the bank today, they confirmed they had received my authorisation to debit the £10 from my account. They advised that the letter notifying me of all the charges will be sent to me within the next 10 days and that once it was sent, the £10 would be debited.

I havent changed banks, in fact they are still charging my account! If by SAR you mean the first letter asking them to provide all charges made from the past 6 years - then yes i have just sent that to them and they should be sending the list of charges to me within the next 10 days.

Well thats up to you really. If you are thinking of trying to claim back any charges your bank has debited from you, its probably wise to open up a new account elsewhere, just in case your bank decide to close your account when they realise what you are trying to do. That hasnt happened to me yet, but I have read about it happening to a few people.

Today I have received my RFI back from the bank which I believed was supposed to be detailing the last 6 years of charges. The charges have been listed from 03/09/01 - 02/10/06 as a list but from 27/06/00-03/09/01 they have given me the full statements which show the charges. Can I still use those statements as proof of my charges? I am slightly confused because back in 00/01 I appear to have only been charged £5 overdraft usage fee for some of the the months - can I still claim this back?

Can anyone help me please - I have received the RFI so am I about to send them the 2nd letter asking for the refund of my charges. Do I attach the spreadsheet with this letter? If yes, should I use the simple or advanced version. Also, on my statements it details overdraft interest, should this be added to my request for a refund? Please help, I am anxious not to make a mistake with this.

Having sent my letter off along with the simple spreadsheet showing all the charges I have received over the last 6 years, I now have a letter from TSB refusing to refund the charges for the following reasons:

 

"You've mentioned the new guidelines from the OFT on credit card default charges. We don't agree with the OFT's thinking on this and we're still talking it through with them. But the important point is that the guidelines are about 'default' charges that people pay when they break an agreement with us. The fees we charge for dealing with your request to go over your agreed overdraft limit are not default charges because you havent broken your agreement. They are our prices for the service we provide in these situations"

 

:idea: My question is should I still go ahead and send the next letter giving them 14 days to refund or I will go to court? Is this a normal reply from TSB?

Rachel,

 

You really need to set up a thread in the Lloyds TSB forum, we will be able to advise you whether this is standard practice for them.

 

We can also answer any queries that you have as your claim progresses ;)

 

Best of luck

PLEASE READ THE FAQ's

I had started this thread in the wrong place - hopefully I am now in the correct place for a claim against TSB. The above question has just been answered and I am going to press ahead with the next letter giving them 14 more days before I proceed with a request for a court date. WATCH THIS SPACE

I have a few queries that I am hoping someone can help me with please.

 

I believe the next letter I should send is the LBA (letter 3 in the library templates folder). Is this correct as it seems pretty similiar to my previous letter?

 

I sent the simple spreadsheet where the charges were listed and the interest was calcuated for me, this was included this with my original letter. I didnt really understand about the interest so I am wondering if I have done the right thing as reading through other threads, a lot seems to be based on whether this has been submitted correctly.

 

Finally, can I add an amount onto the spreadsheet that was recently deducted from my bank account? If I can, do I have to highlight that I have done this in the LBA letter?

Hi Rachael

 

You can amend your charges spreadsheet with the new charges and adjust the interest as a few more days have passed since the first letter. Make sure you adjust to wording on your LBA to include the additional money being claimed. Send your LBA now. I am assuming that you have heard back from them with a rejection to all of your requests.
