    • Do you have broadband at home? A permanent move to e.g. Sky Glass may not fit with your desire to keep your digibox,, but can you move the items you most want off the digibox? If so, Sky Glass might suit you. You might ask Sky to loan you a “puck” and provide access as an interim measure. another option might be using Sky Go, at least short term, to give you access to some of the Sky programming while awaiting the dish being sorted.
    • £85PCM to sky, what!! why are you paying so much, what did you watch on sky thats not on freeview?  
    • Between yourself and Dave you have produced a very good WS. However if you were to do a harder hitting WS it may be that VCS would be more likely to cancel prior to a hearing. The Contract . VCS [Jake Burgess?] are trying to conflate parking in a car park to driving along a road in order to defend the indefensible. It is well known that "NO Stopping " cannot form a contract as it is prohibitory. VCS know that well as they lose time and again in Court when claiming it is contractual. By mixing up parking with driving they hope to deflect from the fact trying to claim that No Stopping is contractual is tantamount to perjury. No wonder mr Burgess doesn't want to appear in Court. Conflation also disguises the fact that while parking in a car park for a period of time can be interpreted as the acceptance of the contract that is not the case while driving down a road. The Defendant was going to the airport so it is ludicrous to suggest that driving by a No Stopping  sign is tacitly accepting  the  contract -especially as no contract is even being offered. And even if a motorist did not wish to be bound by the so called contract what could they do? Forfeit their flight and still have to stop their car to turn around? Put like that the whole scenario posed by Mr Burgess that the Defendant accepted the contract by driving past the sign is absolutely absurd and indefensible. I certainly would not want to appear in Court defending that statement either. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will do the contract itself later.
    • Yes - ignore. Because of another MET victim today I looked at all our MET cases back to June 2014 ... yes, 10 years. They have never dared take a motorist to court and argue their case before a judge.  They have started the odd court case, but as a means of trying to intimidate the motorist into coughing up, when the motorist defended and refused to give in it was MET who bottled it and discontinued.
    • Unpaid wages should be pretty straightforward if you did the work. Don't be intimidated. You need only show you were due money, and did not get money.   The risk is that they have no money to pay you (and legal fees) - frankly a solicitor maybe be costing them more than your claim is for and I might have expected them to make a commercial decision to settle before this point regardless of the merits of the case.

    • 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.

Yes 14 days, then the LBA, you may not have to go the full distance because the amount is relatively small, but be prepared.

My advice has hardly any legal foundation whatsoever, however you never know it it might just work!

Hi Everyone

 

Sorry haven't been posting recently, found out I'm being made redundant so had all manner of stuff to sort out.

 

Hopefully going to get back on track with my claim now tho.

 

I have all my statements and have added them up (£350) I'm trying to do my spreadsheet, and remember doing one in Google? However I can't find it now, can anyone point me in the right direction please?

 

Thanks guys

Sorry to hear your news, bummer.

 

To do your spreadsheet use one of the templates provided in the bank templates section

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/182-6-interest-calculation-spreadsheets.html

 

The simple spreadsheet calculates the total penalties charges (and the 8% interest bit you use when you make a court claim). the advanced one works out the total penalties charged, interest, 8% interst, overdraft interest, 8% interest on overdraft interest.

Take a look at each, both are realitivly easy to fill in, the latter is a little more difficult to understand!!!

Any probs then get back to us.

Hey Missgiggles,

I'm also sending my Preliminary letter to Natwest tomorrow to get back £421 in charges.

Wanna compare how we go? I will start my own thread too and post updates as they happen.

Good luck! (not that it really sounds like luck has much to do with the process)

Cheers x

Nope not a thing for me either ... gonna have the LBA letter ready to go for Monday morning, asuming nothing comes in on Saturday's delivery.

 

I sent a really small claim to Barclays on the same day as this Natwest one, got a letter today saying 'thanks for your complaint, it will take us 4 weeks to look into it'. So their next letter goes in the post on Monday too. I'm not hanging around waiting for their deadlines to come and go ... they can keep up with mine :)

 

Cheerio missgiggles, I expect we'll both be at the post office on Monday.

Recieved a letter in post today from Natwest offering £301 as a full and final settlement!!

Can't believe they caved so quickley, although I'm assuming its because its such a small amount?

Of course I am not accepting it, I know its only a case of £60 but every little bit helps!!

So am I right in thinking I need to send a 'rejection letter' ?

Hi Everyone

 

I have just joined the site today, and am in the process of getting my head around it all!!

 

I bank with Natwest, I have my own current account as well as a joint account with my partner.

 

Even though my current account has had a £0 overdraft for the past year (I worked my ass off to clear it) there was a period of around 3 years when I was constantly living in it!! Can I claim my charges back from this period?

 

I have recently had a baby so the money will come in handy!!

 

I am going to send my ' statement request' letter via recorded delivery in the morning.

 

Wish me luck

 

:)

Hi, I am also new to this site and have just claimed back bank charges from nastwest for the period 2002-2007 I got back all my charges and it only took me 2 letters, 1st to ask for statements for that period. 2nd to calculate how much and send list of charges to natwest, they paid up without a fuss. It took me less than a month to get my money from the first letter sent. Please pass this message on. Ynysllyn

Yeah, best of luck!

I still haven't heard anything of my claim ... deadline for response to LBA has just passed, so I guess it's on to the courts for me.

Just think what else you can buy with that £70! (oops ... i started daydreaming about bags, shoes, bottles of champagne.....)

Hope you hear something soon.

i have an advantage gold account with a £5000 overdraft limit with natwest and am constantly living in it. I am charged every month between £40 and £50 pounds. I know £12 is for the avantage account but the rest i think is interest for being overdrawn. Can i claim back this interest.

Guest NATTIE

Only interest on charges, and jackmann i did tell you in the chatroom that you need to start a thread of your own. On this site your story is important and we all like to read how your claim is going. so natwest thread top left "new thread" and we have all that you want to tell us.

Thanks guys
