    • Rather than dsunaks lies, lets look at the reaL Data and real black holes in the UKs budget - all created by the poop Tories   Public sector finances, UK: April 2024   Main points Borrowing – the difference between public sector spending and income – was (a black hole of) £20.5 billion in JUST April 2024, the fourth highest April borrowing since monthly records began in 1993. Borrowing in April 2024 was £1.5 billion more than in April 2023 and £1.2 billion more than the £19.3 billion forecast by the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR). Public sector receipts grew by £1.6 billion compared with April 2023, however, this growth was outstripped by a £3.1 billion increase in spending over the same period. Since our March 2024 publication, we have increased our initial estimate of borrowing in the financial year ending March 2024 by £0.8 billion to £121.4 billion, now £7.3 billion more than the £114.1 billion forecast by the OBR. Public sector net debt excluding public sector banks (debt) at the end of April 2024 was provisionally estimated at 97.9% of gross domestic product (GDP); this was 2.5 percentage points more than at the end of April 2023, and remains at levels last seen in the early 1960s. Excluding the Bank of England, debt was 89.9% of GDP, 8.0 percentage points lower than the wider debt measure. Public sector net worth excluding public sector banks was in deficit by £703.4 billion at the end of April 2024, a £93.5 billion larger deficit than at the end of April 2023.     and the Tory legacy of financial mismanagement  to be passed on :   UK government debt 2023 | Statista WWW.STATISTA.COM Government debt in the United Kingdom reached over 2.25 trillion British pounds in 2022/23, compared with 1.83 trillion pounds in... - and graph does NOT show the increases as it should

    • 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 am new to this site and have read all the FAQ's etc and sent my Data Request letter on 6 December but I have a couple of queries which I have been unable to find the answers to. I have sent asking for details on two accounts - can I include these in the same claim or will I have to write separately regarding each account on subsequent letters. Also do Barclays come back with the statements quite quickly?

 

Good luck to all others out there taking this step.

Hi Karenann,

On the first question I would claim seperately. It seems to be the way to go judging by what I've read over the past year-ish. Depending on the amounts you are asking for; it may prove useful to claim for the larger amount first, then when you win (and you will), go for the other amount and Barclays,by that time, will know that you intend to go all the way with the claim and just pay out the second without all the fuss of the first. Does that make sense?

On the second question: No. Barclays do not send statements out quickly for most people. A few have got theirs in short time but most people have to wait nearly the full period, I'm sure.

 

Good Luck

Hi as mentioned previously, I sent my SAR letter off on 6 December. I have not heard anything so am sending a chaser today. I have sent both of these letters to the Knutsford Barclays data office. Does anybody know if they are contactable via email or telephone as I have only been able to find their address here. Also should I be giving them longer than 40 days since Christmas was in the middle and nobody was working?

 

It has been almost 30 days and my cheque has not been cashed nor have I had an acknowledgement of my letter - if they claim not to have received it will the 40 days start all over.:confused:

Hi Karenann

 

I got my statements on Day 39. You should have had a letter back by now though from Mr Peter Townsend, usual drivel about microfiche etc etc. You should also get your cheque back attached to said letter. If you are confident, you could try giving them a gentle nudge on the phone. I did this and I ended up with two lots of statement. Their phone number is 01565 614000, they are very helpful. Just ask to speak to peter townsend and they will put you through the DPU. Hope this helps

If you think I have been any help at all, click my scales, go on.... You know you want to! :lol:

Well Done Michelle. Not bad for a 73 year old!

Karenann,I think Barclays WILL send your reply in time but they like to take it to the brink.

 

Was supposed to be the year of my birth but it should be 74 not 73!! Think I had too much vino when I registered!! :D

HELP

 

Is anyone else claiming for two accounts. I have received statements back from Barclays but is it ok to put all charges relating to two of my accounts on the same schedule and letters. I want to send this to them today so an urgent response would be helpful.

 

Thanks.

Hi sorry to be paid but have had no responses to my last post. I have bene sending my letters to the Bank referring to two accounts on one letter. When I have to enter my MCOL claim will I have to do two separate claims or can I enter them both onto one?

 

Also, I do not have my opening date for my account as my Mum opened an account with Barclays when I was five and these just moved over to adult accounts when I reached certain ages but do not have any dates. This is needed for the particulars of claim - do I just enter an approximate date from when I turned 18 or say I have held accounts with the bank since my fifth birthday? Or is it ok not to mention the date of opening at all?

 

Many thanks for any help that can be given.

Hi I am really sorry but I have posting some queries for almost a week and have had no response - not quite sure where else I can put this to receive an urgent response but if someone could please read this and previous posts and give me a hand i would be really grateful.

 

I have now had a reply from the bank with the usual "sorry you have a complaint will reply with an answer or update within 8 weeks" Should I still wait for the end of the 14 day period before sending an LBA or should I just send it now I know that they are trying to make me wait 8 weeks.

 

Thanks.

Hi Karenanne, sorry for the lack of posts. Yes, you can put two claims together, I did, just make sure you identify both accounts. Ideally do a separate spreadsheet for both to avoid confusion. With regards to the LBA. Stick to the timetable and dont wander from it. Show them that you are in charge of this. Within ten days of sending your LBA, you will get an offer from them, usually about half of your original claim. PM me if you want some more help.

Hi have just been reading through the latest threads and beginning to panic a bit. I sent by LBA yesterday by special delivery so they have received it this morning. However, I recently returned to work after a year off on maternity leave.

 

Unfortunately, this left our joint account £600 over our agreed overdraft limit. I also have an overdraft on my own account although this is within the agreed amount. I am now really panicking in case Barclays close my account or stop paying direct debits as we are so far overdrawn and then our mortgage will not get paid. We can start to bring this down this month but will take 5/6 months to bring the account back within the agreed overdraft limit. Also no other bank will want to give us such a big overdraft if we are forced to leave barclays. I am now worried about taking court action if they are going to start intimidating us.

 

has anyone else had their accounts withdrawn or have been left alone even though their accounts are not in credit. Any responses much appreciated!!

Barclays don't generally close accounts on the first claim, (however this is not to say they wont) I have had a claim settled with them and my account is still active. I am now going for a second claim and would imagine that the story may be different after this. It is advisable to set up a parachute account in case they do decide to play the game by going down the closing of the account route. I think what will prob happen is that any settlement will be taken off the outstanding overdraft.

Hi Karenann,

Responses to your query have been sadly lacking, haven't they. I don't know what to say to your situation. I am on the verge of going to court. I haven't had my account closed. I am sure there are more people that are able to continue with their accounts than those who have them closed.

It would be some time before you get any kind of court arrangement, I guess, so you would be whittling down that overdraft you have in the meantime. That can only look good to a prospective bank should you have to change. Have you tried Nationwide. I found them easy to deal with.

Barclays will probably keep you on and wipe your overdraft out with a portion of the money they have to give back to you.

I get the feeling you are in two minds whether to go on or not. You don't say how much you are claiming from Barclays. I think you have to ask yourself whether the amount you might get back is worth the mental anguish you are going through?

Hi Karenann, We've just entered a judgment against Barclays and have given them until today to pay up, which as yet they haven't. Tomorrow if we still haven't received our money we're applying for a warrant (sending the bailiffs in) and they haven't closed our account. Keep going, good luck!

If oyu want some other points of view the best way to drum it up is to send a Private message to some of the regulars on the site and post them in this a link to your thread. To do this click their name and go to send private message. To get a link to your thread right click your thread title in the main bank forum list that you are in and then click copy shortcut. Then when sending a PM you just right click again and then click paste.
