    • "Care to briefly tell someone who isn't tech savvy - i.e. me! - how you did this?" Its pretty simple although not obvious. You open the google maps app > click your profile picture > Click Timeline from the list > click today > choose the date you want to see the timeline from. Then you'll see your timeline for that day. Often, places you have visited will have a question mark beside them where google wants you confirm you have actually visited. You either click 'yes' if you have, or you click 'edit' to enter the actual place you visited. Sometimes, you'll see 'Missing visit' This probably happens if your internet connection has dropped out at that time. You simply click 'Add visit' and enter the place. The internet on my crappy phone often loses connection so I have to do that alot.   OK dx, understood mate. 
    • I have now been given a court date vs Evri, 4th Sept 2024. I have completed my court bundle, when am I expected to send copies to the court and Evri and should it be in hard copy or electronic? The Notice of Allocation states that no later than 7 days before the directions hearing both parties must send to the other party their final offers to settle. Does this mean I will have to tell Evri what I'm willing to settle? Rgds, J
    • Ok how about this to the CEO? I know it sounds super desperate but lets call a spade a spade here, I am super desperate: Dear Sir, On 29th November 2023 I took out a loan of £5000 with you. Unfortunately very early into 2024 I found myself in financial difficulty (unexpected bills and two episodes of sickness and the tax office getting my tax code wrong resulting in less pay for two months) and I contacted you (MCB) on 13th February 2024 asking if there was any way I could extend the length of my loan to 36 months. I fully explained why I was requesting this and asked for your help. I did not receive a reply to that email so I again contacted you on 7th March 2024 to advise you of a change in my circumstances which resulted in me having to take out a DMP and asking you to confirm that the direct debit had been cancelled. You would have also received confirmation of this DMP from StepChange but you did not acknowledge receipt of my email. I have only managed to make one payment from my loan but did try and contact MCB to discuss extending my loan, help etc.  I have now therefore fallen behind on several of my debts, yours included, and as a result you have lodged a Cifas marker against my name for "evasion of payment", which has resulted in me having to change banks, which has been an extremely difficult process because of the Cifas marker. I do not feel you have been fair or given me the opportunity to fully explain my situation to you before you lodged the marker against my name. I appreciate it is a business and you have acted accordingly, but I did try to make contact to arrange alternative arrangements and at no point, not even to this day, did I ever intend to not repay my loan. I cannot stress to you enough how much this has affected my mental health. I am having trouble sleeping and my existing health condition has been exacerbated by all of this. What I would like you to do is to please, please remove the Cifas marker and let me make arrangements to pay the loan back through a DMP.  Please sir, I am begging for your help here. I am not a dishonest person and I have never been in a situation like this before. I am desperately trying to make things right but this marker is killing me. Please can you help me? I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully,

    • 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 All

 

Just got my statements back and done a very quick tally up and it comes to £2220.00

 

Can someone clear up something please.

 

Included in the £2220, is the Overdraft facility interest, am i able to claim for that back.

 

It varies from £1 to £21 per month so adds up to a little sum.

 

I don't mean the exceeding the overdraft charge, just the charge for having the facility.

 

If you can help that would be great then i can start filling out the spreadsheet.

 

Thx

 

Paul

Believe I'm right in saying you can only claim for any charges for exceeding your overdraft. Not your normal interest charges.

 

Looks a nice round figure anyway.

Go get em.

Hmmm, thats a shame as it ended up being about £500 that i cant claim for. Oh well

 

Thx

Hi paulwilko,

 

As quoted:

 

Benforlini says..."Believe I'm right in saying you can only claim for any charges for exceeding your overdraft. Not your normal interest charges."...

End quote

 

 

Surely, if the unlawful charges caused, or increased your negative balance then U can claim for those additional interest charges that relate to the unlawful charges, that were imposed as well???

...even if Nationwide were nice enough to allow U an O/D to accommodate their unlawful charges and that U managed to stay within their O/D limits?!

 

Hope this logic gives U food for thought?!

Another LBA can always be sent, with U stating the new figure claimed and pointing out to them the reasoning for your new figure.

Obviously, any time limit U then gave them to settle in full before U proceeded to the Court stage would begin from the date of your new LBA.

Hi paulwilko,

 

Have PM'd U a hopefully more simpler explaination!

Okay, I fully understand now.

So you think all the interest i have paid which i consider Authorised, is maybe something i can claim back ? or at least some of it.

 

Okay, I will look into tha

 

Thx

Hi again paulwilko!

 

In reply to your question about how much interest:

 

Try to work out what other expenditure U may have done to cause U to be O/D...and take this and it's associated interest off the total of your O/D statement balance.

 

i.e. Do another phantom spreadsheet solely for O/D expenditure other than the charges and their associated interest, to find out the interest that U can't claim for, and take the interest amount off the "everything including charges interest" spreadsheet total that U had originally done.

 

Sounds complicated but it isn't...the spreadsheets do the maths for U.

 

It all depends on how U conducted your O/D and for how long U had it, as to what figure U come up with...If your O/D consists mostly of charges and their interest then the figure that U said of £500 could mostly be re-claimed!!!

 

Am NO professional mathematician, so could do with someone more qualified to doublecheck the process, as I understand it and have described above, if I have completely got the wrong end of the stick!

In more easily readable English would help also please?!

  • 2 weeks later...

Okay, had the first letter back, so now onto the LBA.

 

Should i be sending it as a reply to Richard Huntley, Customer Service Manager at Member Account Servicing, 1st Floor Electra House, Farnsby Street, Swindon, SN2 1SR ?

Or is there a different contact and address for this stage of events ?

 

Thx

Your LBA needs to be sent to Nationwide's Registered Address @ Pipers Way, Swindon. /quote]

 

Sorry MilkTrayMan I disagree. As the LBA is simply responding to their brush off to Wilko's prelim letter it should be sent to the originator of their response to the prelim.

 

However, experience shows whichever one you chose you'll still end up with another brush off so start preparing your claim. Which should be sent to Pipers Way.

 

Anyway, Happy New Year to you both.

Argh !!! I have sent it to Pipers way now !!

As you say though, it should get to the right person sooner or later !

 

Cheers

You should still start to prepare your claim. If your claiming contractural interest with S69 'in the alternative' you may have to consider obtaining N1 claim forms (3 copies) from your local County Court as I understand you may not be able to fit your total claim particulars on the MCOL copy.

I am claiming contractual, but what do you mean by "with S69" ?

 

Thx

S69, I believe, is the courts "statutory interest of 8%" that you can claim.

 

Like you, I am going for contractual (and compounded) at *Nationwide's* rate of 1.870% per month. However, you may wish to offer acceptance of S69 "in the alternative" to the courts. NB you do not offer this to Nationwide.

Why only 1.87%, I am going for the 24.9% which equates 2.075% ??

 

Actually i thought S69 was the 8% but my understanding is that you either do Contractual/Compounded or S69 and not both unless someone tells me different ????

 

Thx

I am going for 1.870 as that is the unauthorised overdraft rate on my statements.

 

You are correct, it is S69 *or* contractual, you are going for contractual but offering to accept S69 "in the alternative" to the courts.

 

(as I understand it, anyway)

 

I guess it's all about appearing "reasonable" in the court's eyes. Obviously you don't offer both to Nationwide as they would say "hmm, we'll take the cheaper one, please"

Hi Everyone!

I appologise if I appeared to give the wrong address for the LBA to be sent to.

...Was in a rush and it was the 1st address that I came to!...:oops:

Perhaps one of U gentlefolk would like to research and update/post the definitive Nationwide Step-by-Step/Contact Address for others that follow???...only a thought mind!...;)

paulwilko...

To get 2.075 from 24.9%APR is simply to divide 24.9 by 12

This is NOT how Compound Interest works!!!

1.87% is the CORRECT monthly figure as each individual Daily Compounded Total is added into the sum to be compounded the next day etc etc 365 times!

s69 Statutory Interest (@ 8%) is mentioned in the Court Claim Application Stage as "In the Alternative" cos. if the unthinkable happens and Nationwide defends your Claim.

...then successfully argues that U can't claim Daily Compounded Contractual Interest on your Claim and seeks to have the whole Claim struck out.

...U can at least ask the Court to consider awarding S.I. @ 8% In the Alternative...understand now???

 

Methinks a swot up on Daily Compounded Contractual Interest, so as to be able to personally explain your reasoning to a Judge would be useful.

Especially if U inform Nationwide that U will be Claiming the 2.075% Monthly figure!...:confused:

Garu...

EVERYTHING U say in your last post is correct!!!...:)

Benforlini...

Does that make us Fifteen-All???!...rofl... :razz:;)

Hope all this helps?!

Everything stated is only my own personal opinion and shouldn't be take as the Gospel Truth...nor do I intend it to personally offend anyone!

Thx for the explanation, but I am not claiming compounded !! Only contractual !!

 

I think i could if need be explain my way thru it if need be !! I am rather hoping I never see a court but I may be the first !! :o

How are you claiming contractual and not compounded? Depending on daily, monthly, or annually, if there has been more than one unit(in time) of interest, then the following unit has to be the original, plus interest, and then plus interest again for every unit thereafter.

 

They had your money, they were getting interest on it in the first day, and the next, and interest on interest every day until now.

 

RE court, the more I understand it, the more I actually would love to see them in a courtroom.

I just followed Vampiress's Spreadsheet for contractual !!

 

I assume it is correct. Anyway, the LBA has gone and looking forward to seeing a bit of cash in a few weeks.

 

Feeling confident !!
