    • Morning dx and thank you for your message.   With regards to your comment about them not needing to produce the deed, the additional directions ordered by the judge included 'a copy of any assignment o the debt or agreement relied upon'  so that is why I thought that point was relevant?
    • Sorry for the long post but I don't want to miss out any relevant information: My wife bought a car from Trade Centre UK and have been having nothing but trouble with it. Unfortunately we paid of the finance used to buy the car as we weren't expecting this much trouble with the car as we we though we would have protection as buying from a dealer. We are wondering if we can still reject the vehicle since the finance plan has been paid off. Timeline is as follows: 13/12/2023 -15/12/2023 Bought car from Trade Centre UK for £10548 £2000 deposit paid on credit card on 13/12/2023 £8548 on finance from Moneybarn (arranged through Trade Centre UK). picked up car on 15/12/2023 Also bought lifetime warranty for £50/month 25/12/2023 Engine Management Light comes on. The AA called out and diagnosed the following error codes: P0133 - Lambda sensor (bank 1, sensor 1) Oxygen Sensor. Error Message : Slow reaction. Error sporadic P0135 - Lambda sensor heat. circ.(bank1,sensor1) Oxygen Sensor. Error Message : Component defective Due to it being Christmas took a few days to get through to them but they booked me in for 28/12/2023 to run their own diagnostics. 28/12/2023 Took car in to Trade Centre so could check the car – They agreed it was the Oxygen Sensor and Booked me in for repair on 30/01/2024. I was told they had no earlier slots, and I would be fine to carry on driving car when I said I was afraid of problem worse. During diagnosing the problem, they reset the Engine Management Light. During drive home light comes back on. 29/12/2023 - 29/01/2024 I carry on driving the car but closer to the date, engine goes to reduced power every now and again – not being a mechanic I presumed that this was due to above fault. 20/01/2024 Not expecting any more problems paid off the finance on the car using personal loan from bank with lower interest rate. 30/01/2024 Trade Centre replace to O2 sensor (They also take it on a roughly 60mile road trip which seems a bit excessive to me – I can’t prove this as something prompted me take a picture of milage when I handed car in but I forgot take one on collection – only remembered next day.) 06/02/2024 Engine goes in reduced power mode again and engine management light comes on – Thinking the Trade centre’s 28 day warranty period was over I booked the car the into local garage for the next day to get problem fixed under the lifetime warranty package. Fault seems to clear after engine was switched off. 07/02/2024 In the Morning, I take it to local garage who say as the light gone off – the warranty company is unlikely to cover the cost of the repair or diagnostics and recommend I contact them when the light comes back on. In the evening the light comes back on and luckily I manage to get it back to the garage just before it shuts for the day. 08/02/2024 The Garage sends me a diagnostics video showing a lot error codes been picked up by their diagnostics machine including codes for Oxygen sensor and Nox Sensors, Accelerator pedal and several more. Video also shows EGR Hose not connected to the intake manifold properly, they believed this was confusing the onboard system as it is unlikely this many sensors would trigger at same the time but they couldn’t be certain until they repaired the hose. 13/02/2024 Finally get the car back as it took a while to get approval and payment for the repairs from the Warranty company. Garage told me to keep an eye the car as errors had cleared with the hose but couldn’t 100% certain that’s what caused the problem. 06/03/2024 Engine management light comes on again. Fed up I go into Trade Centre as I was just around the corner when it happened and asked them how to reject the car or have the problem fixed. They insist that as it’s over 28 days I need to get the car fixed under the warranty package I purchased and they could no longer fix the car as it was over 28 days. When I tried telling them it appeared to be the same or related problem they said they couldn’t help as I hadn’t contacted them earlier. I asked them if they were willing to connect the car to the diagnostics machine and tell me what the problem was, as a goodwill gesture, which he agreed to do and took the car to the back He came back around 30 minutes later and said they took a look at the sensor they replaced previously and there was nothing wrong with it and engine management light went off when they removed the sensor to check it. When I asked what the error code he couldn’t give me an exact fault but the said it one of the problems I told him earlier (Accelerator pedal). I have this visit audio recorded on my phone – I informed the reps I was recording several times. As the light wasn’t on, local garage couldn’t book me for a repair under warranty. 07/03/2024 Light came on so managed to book back into local garage for the 12/03/2024 Whilst waiting to take car into garage, I borrowed a OBD sensor and scanned for errors on the car. This showed the following errors: P11BE – Manufacturer specific code (Google showed this to be NOX sensor) P0133 - Oxygen (Lambda) Sensor B1 S1: Response too Slow 12/03/2024 Took car to local garage and the confirmed the above errors. This leads me to believe that either Trade Centre UK reps lied and just reset the light or just didn’t check properly (Obviously I am unable to prove this) 22/03/2024 Finally got the car back as according to garage, the warranty company took a long to time to pay for the repairs 28/04/2024 Engine management Light has come back on. Using the borrowed OBD scanner I am getting the following codes: P0133 - Oxygen (Lambda) Sensor B1 S1: Response too Slow P2138 - Accelerator Position Sensors (G79) / (G185): Implausible Correlation I have not yet booked into a garage as I wanted to see what my rights are in terms of rejecting the car as to me the faults seem related. I can’t keep using taxi or train to get to work every time the car goes into the garage as it is getting very expensive. Am I right in thinking that they have used up their chance to repair when they conducted the repair end of January or when they refused to repair it in February ? If I am still able to reject the vehicle could you point to any sample letters or emails I can use. Thankyou for your advice on my next steps.
    • Ok noted about the screenshot uploads. In terms of screwing up I had one previous ticket that defaulted and ended up in a CCJ from Southend airport because for some reason during COVID I didn't receive their claim form just a notice of default. This hospital ticket was the 2nd ticket that went to CCJ due to a lack of knowledge of the process. Maybe it's easier just to pay them in future I'm thinking though, I don't get them very often anyway

    • 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 Fred,

 

No sorry that's not what I meant. :D

 

At the moment the interest on the spreadsheet is compounding daily and probably (due t your claim being large) the Compound Interest and Compound Interest on Interest column (C. Interest Daily Tab) totals are increasing by a lot each day. The daily rate is worked out by taking your current totals for the day and calculating a daily interest from it- still using your 29.5% interest rate. You can do this yourself fairly easily - I'll use a total of £1000 as an example (this total includes total inclduing any interest you have earned so far):

 

ANNUAL RATE: £1000 (total amount) x 29.5 (your annual interest rate) / 100 = £295 (this is your annual rate as an amount)

DAILY RATE: £295 (your annual rate) / 365 = £0.81 (this is your daily rate as an amount)

 

So it's pretty easy to work out yourself but the spreadsheet does it for yu. But I think I've spotted a problem with the sheet. How many rows do your charges take up? I've just looked at the formula for the daily rate and I think it is only taking into account a certain number of rows. If this is the case it must be where Mindzai extended the amount of rows available but forgot to amend the daily rate formula. :rolleyes: If this is the case I'll ask him to amend it and upload a new one asap.

 

Fred I did a daily rate calcualtion on a total of £11,000 and I think the daily rate should be £8.89 - does this sound more like it?

Hi southyorksman!

...The CI spreadsheet kindly provided by Mindzai :cool: is 1600ish KB in size and therefore 200 KB too big to save on a floppy disc, is there anyway the file can be made small enough to save onto a single 1.44MB floppy disc Pleeeeeeease.

Have U considered a small investment in a USB Pen Drive???

They're a doddle to use.

Even a relatively small capacity one of say 128mb = approx 90 floppies.

If U shop around, U should easily pick one up for less than £10 or so.

Most PC's have USB Ports and the Pen Drive shows up just as another Hard Drive for U to drag/drop/save to.

Thanks again for your quick response. Better still, this time I'm fairly sure we're on the same wavelength. :)

 

Like you, I'd done some back-of-fag-packet arithmetic to work out my daily rate which was why I was anxious when it didn't come close to the figure calculated by the spreadsheet - and, subsequently, managed to get myself in a right muddle (see above). :o

 

A daily rate of almost £9 is much more in line with my calcualtions and, more to the point, with the rate by which my claim has increased between my preliminary letter and LBA.

 

That being the case, your explanation for the discrepancy seems entirely plausible. For the record, my schedule of charges has 135 rows and was compiled using 'Copy of CompoundSheet_v1.9'. I think Midzai has subsequently produced a revised spreadsheet(?) so it may bee that this oversight - if indeed it is - has already been corrected.

 

Thanks again for your assistance. I like to have everything straight in my head before progressing to the next stage and I think, now, I'm almost there.

One final thing...

 

Won't the daily rate change day by day as the interest compounds?

 

That being the case, am I right in thinking the 'DAILY RATE (FOR CLAIM FORM)' box should, in anycase, only be treated as a guide?

Hi Fred,

 

It depends on which method you want to use. We (and I know others have done this) decided that once it got to the court filing stage a set daily rate would be easier to use than allowing the interest to continue compounding. Se we opted for this way and because our claims only had charges a maximum of 3 years old it actually created a total similiar to if we had allowed the interest to continuously compound. But I think other people have left interest to compound, but I have no idea how it works when it comes to payment time. I think that people with charges going back more than 6 years would probably find that inbetween the time they file and the time they get paid, the amount would have increased a lot if the interest had continued compounding instead of having a static daily rate.

 

Obviously it is up to you which method you choose.

Hi Beetlejuice,

 

Ye I think that'sbeen picked up on already. It seem Mindzai coped the notes from his bank charges spreadsheet and didn't adapt it to fit with the credit card one. There are a few things that need to be updated on the spreadsheets but when it will get done I don't know. :D

That's fair enough, might have worded it better to not sound so harsh but I was just trying to make a point.

 

Just had a thought 2gr8, if you haven't got access to excel, you can still use Mindzai's spreadsheet by uploading it to Google Spreadsheets. It has the same functionality as Excel and is just a case of downloading the spreadsheet then uploading it to GS and away you go ;)

hi

 

thanks for a great thread

 

I would really appriciate if someone could give me an answer or direct me to a thread please

 

I want to claim contractual interest at a rate of 24.9% but all I have are a list of charges and dates - no actual statements were sent to me (going off topic does anyone think that MBNA are now sending charges only instead of statements to deter people from claiming contractual interest?)

 

so I can't use the CC spreadsheet here - I wanted to use VAMPs simple spreadsheet and change the interest from 8 to 24.9% - but I have no idea how to do that

 

can anyone help please??

 

thanks

TOTAL OWED BEFORE INTEREST

The last one is the one that i find confusing, am i right in thinking that this is the final amount of my claim? What does it mean OWED BEFORE INTEREST? Do i need to put more interest on? If so what interest is it?

 

It means before statutory 8% interest or contractual interest (If thats what your claiming). So the total in this instance is the charges + any overdraft interest your claiming.

 

HTH

I don't think you need statements to claim CI. AFAIK all you need is the charges info - date, amount etc.

 

I don't think changing the rate on that simple spread sheet will give you an accurate calculation, due to the way the interest is compounded/calculated, but I may be wrong.

I have a question regarding this sheet if someone would be kind enough to assist.

 

The bit at the top that says: "Estimate of previous charges" I obviously understand what should go in here but I don't understand why its relevant. It doesn't add to the total charges and it doesn't affect the amount of overdraft interest that's claimable. Why is it there?

 

I read on another thread somewhere that it counts towards the overdraft interest claimable, so more of the interest is claimable sooner, but this doesn't seem to be the case. Could someone explain?

 

Also, say you put a figure in here, then your claim gets settled. What happens if latter you decide that you do actually want to attempt to claim the previous charges. Are you not in danger of the bank saying that these charges were included in your previous spreadsheet and that claim has now been settled?

Hi overflow,

 

The reason it says TOTAL OWED BEFORE INTEREST is because you are on the Charges & Interest tab. It is just telling you the total amount of charges you are claiming for before any form of additional interest (statutory or contractual) is added. Check out ether the s 69 8% or C. Interest Daily tabs to see how much additional interest you can add to your claim.

 

Good luck. Lucid :)

 

EDIT: Sorry bigfatgreedybanker. I've just noticed you already answered overflow's question. :D

I don't think you need statements to claim CI. AFAIK all you need is the charges info - date, amount etc.

 

I don't think changing the rate on that simple spread sheet will give you an accurate calculation, due to the way the interest is compounded/calculated, but I may be wrong.

 

You need statements if you are intending to reclaim overdraft interest - as you need to know your account balance. Also I read recently that somebody got a list of charges from the bank but still pursued getting all of their statements sent to them. When their statements arrived the list of charges was not complete at all and there were a few charges missing from it. ;-)

 

Yes you're right in saying that changing the interest rate on the simple sheet will not calculate compound interest.

 

I have a question regarding this sheet if someone would be kind enough to assist.

 

The bit at the top that says: "Estimate of previous charges" I obviously understand what should go in here but I don't understand why its relevant. It doesn't add to the total charges and it doesn't affect the amount of overdraft interest that's claimable. Why is it there?

 

I read on another thread somewhere that it counts towards the overdraft interest claimable, so more of the interest is claimable sooner, but this doesn't seem to be the case. Could someone explain?

 

Also, say you put a figure in here, then your claim gets settled. What happens if latter you decide that you do actually want to attempt to claim the previous charges. Are you not in danger of the bank saying that these charges were included in your previous spreadsheet and that claim has now been settled?

 

I think that the Estimate of Previous Charges was initially meant for pre six year charges - it does briefly refer to this box in the notes. But it seems that people are successfully claiming further back now so it's probably not very relevant anymore. I don't know where the referring to overdraft interest claimable idea came from - I've not heard that before. :D

thanks Lucid

dont know where my brain was , of course , now I realise my mistake.

Just looked at all three now and thinkin how dozy I must be:rolleyes:

Its taken me ages to work out the spreadies but just want to say that I personally think Mindsia's is fan-dabbi-dozy. lol. Its the only one I could get right,(well I think Ive got it right).

I dont suppose I could be cheeky could I and ask you if youve got the time, sometime, to just check it over for me please. I know your busy and its my own claim but I would really appreciate it if you would.

Depending on of course I can get it to you,:-| I admit im not too good at workin out how to send stuff. I tried the other night and it looked nlike a pile of gobbledy-gook:confused: Anyone tryin to read it would need a degree in brain science I think. I was so embarrased.

Well we didnt do computers when I went to school, Still used the abacus,:lol: , only joking really not that old , honest . Anyway thats my excuse and im stickin to it

 

Again thanks and by the way ive read all your thread and you two are really the bees knees when it comes to put pen to paper. Really impresive letters.

This has probably already been covered but difficult to search for the equation to work out monthly interest in your spreadsheet is:

=((1+F16)^(1/12))-1

F16 being the contractual interest rate in my case 18.3 now me being naive thought to work it out monthly it would be 18.3/12 which is 1.525 but your spreadsheet it is 1.41........can anyone shed any light on this before I send off my prelim......
