      Highview/DCB(L) ANPR PCN - Letter of Claim - Now Claimform - overstay - Riverside Retail Park in Norwich, Norfolk.

      By anotheruser0000 · Posted

      Hi LFI, With regard to the ANPR cameras in your post #65, while I was on the phone to the Planning Department, they did take a look at Google Streetview and went back to 2012 where they could see the ANPR cameras in place so therefore they would have deemed consent. I had previously read the T&C Planning Regulations and had read the section on deemed consent so I understood the point they made on the phone. It doesn't matter though, that doesn't harm my case any, and I shouldn't really mention this now, (this is what you reminded me of on another thread) but in the past I was a member of a scheme that gave me access to legal advice, I have spoken to a barrister previously through this scheme on another matter and I think I am still a member. I am going to check if I am still a member of the scheme, and if I am I will discuss my case with a barrister or solicitor, whichever the scheme deems appropriate. I will let you know the outcome. I am also going to take Bankfodders advice in the sticky and go to the local court and ask if I can sit in on a case in the Judges office.

      deed?  you mean consent order you and her signed? concluding the case as long as you nor she break it's conditions signed upto? dx Yes sorry. they called it a deed at first in court.  Then Judge said she was happy to have it sealed as something else  exact names of orders in message above.     The disease was tested for when his cardiac testing was done immediately after purchase and part of the now sealed case.   However, results were disclosed incorrectly and I only found out  two days ago.   This disease did not form part of my knowledge during the case as I had been informed of a normal result that was not the case.   it is perfect clarity of a genetic disease where as the previous cardiac issue could be congenital until the pup is genetically tested.

      Halifax debt sold to Cabot

      By Deathbybanking · Posted

      Hi, Halifax recently sold a credit card account of mine to Cabot. I am unemployed and have no assets and was thinking of making token £1 payments for 12-18 months in order to drag things out a bit and reduce the chance of Cabot being able to get the correct CCA documents from Halifax if I requested them in future. However, I saw on the pages on this forum about defending county court claims that one of the standard approaches when defending such claims is to say “I had an account with bank X, but I don’t remember the details and so don’t know if I owe this debt…”. If I made £1 payments to Cabot, would it prevent me from using such a defence in future? OC: Halifax DC: Cabot/Wescot Card account opened: 2016 Defaulted: 2023

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

Can you survive without the overdraft? It would be nice to get rid of the Halifax. If you use your new account well you'll probably get an overdraft with them within 6 months anyway.

 

I've always run both accounts in tandem and had £2k overdraft between them, I'm currently in the black in both accounts, I guess I just don't like the idea of losing the facility, it just means that I will have to find an extra £1000 this month to pay bills etc, which isn't then end of the world, just a pain.

 

I guess I'm just wondering about the legality of them closing the account because of me reclaiming their illegal charges, especially in light of the OFT's statement on the matter. What in effect they are saying is 'if we can't operate your account legally, we'll close it down' Surely that can't be right?

I'm pretty sure they do have the right to close down your account. Have a look at their T&Cs.

 

I know what you mean about having the overdraft facility but I would certainly benefit from not having one - basically because I'm crap with money!

By the way, I can't believe that the buggers have charged you another £450 since your victory. Idiots!

 

I can't believe I allowed myself to be charged £450! But then a lot of those charges were incured while I was waiting for them to pay up.

Oh well, hopefully when we've all got our hard earned cash back we'll not incur anymore ridculous charges. I for one can't be arsed to keep fighting them in court. Congrats on your win by the way. Hopefully my £5k will be winging it's way to me soon.

Which is what I have threatened them with, maximum publicity. My fear is, that may actually be in their favour, if I'm making a lot of noise because my account was canceled, that may deter people from making claims. Its a tough one.

I don't think many people would be that frightened of having their account closed especially if if meant they would get hundreds of pounds back from charges.

 

In the end its the Halifax who lose out as there are plenty of other banks about and without customers the Halifax can't survive.

Nationwide:

DPA Letter sent 10th May, Received 1st June, calculated approx £330 charges, Prelim to sent soon.

Egg

£60 Charges - Pre Letter sent 23rd May, declined refund,

Halifax

£39 Charge - Pre Letter sent 23rd May, Halifax have agreed to refund the £39

I understand what you're saying, but I feel it would be a good way to publicise the charges and the vindictive action taken by the bank because they lost the argument and had to pay up.

I recently won a substantial amount from the Halifax, most of it went to repaying debts. Since I won in February, they have made imposed another £450 of charges against me.

 

I called them to discuss this, and they say if I make another claim against them they will give me 30 days notice that they will close the account. I have a second account with Natwest to fall back on but will obviously lose the £1000 overdraft facility in the Halifax account.

 

Opinions/advice?

 

Go for the charges if they close your account because you have claimed off of them they are breaking the law ( this is what I am led to believe ) I am sure its in the FAQs somewhere

:) Go on ... you know you want to click me :)

Ok, after successfully reclaiming my charges from both Halifax and Natwest, I'm looking in to claiming back prior to 1999.

 

Things have changed since I made my first claim, and I'm struggling to find a concise explanation of contractual interest and any definitive info about the successes of overcoming the limitation act. If someone could point me in the direction of the relevant threads it would be much appreciated.

 

My specific questions are as follows.

 

1. Were the bank claims not to keep records beyond 6 years, how does one obtain the info needed to make the claim, do you use an estimated amount?

 

2. My settlement from Halifax said it was in full and final settlement, I was not required to sign anything. Am I still entitled to make a second claim?

 

 

Thanks for the help.

I run one of these claim companies and I know that a lot of you disagree with them and that's not what I'm posting about. However, I have just settled a £7k claim with them at the LBA stage. Is this normal practice now, are they settling everyones claim at the LBA stage?

 

Any useful info and contacts I will endevour to pass on.
