    • HI DX Yes check it every month , after I reinstated the second DD I was checking every week. Also checked my bank statements and each payment has cleared. When responding to the court claim does it need to be in spefic terms ? Or laid out in a certain format? Or is it just a case of putting down in writing how I have expained it on CAG?

    • You have of course checked the car is now taxed and the £68 is stated against  the same reg?  If the tax for the same car did over lap, then I can't see you having an issue pleading not guilty Dx

    • Afternoon all Looking for advice before I defend claim for car tax payment that the DVLA claim I owe £68 from an idemity claimback from my bank and unpaid tax  brief outline. Purchased car Jan 30th ,garage paid the tax for me after I gave them my card details  first payment £68 out in Feb 24  followed by payment of £31 from March due to end Jan 24 Checked one of my vehicle apps and about 7-10 days later car showing as untaxed? No reason why but it looks like DVLA cancelled it , this could be because I did not have the V5 and the gargae paid on my behalf but not sure did not receive a letter to say car was untaxed.  Fair enough I set up the tax again staight away in Feb 24  and first payment out Mar 31st , and each payment since has come out each month for £31 , this will end Feb/Mar 2025, slightly longer than the original tax set up, all good. I then claimed the £68 back from my bank as an indemity refund as obviously I had paid but DVLA had cancelled therefore it was a payment for nothing?  Last week recieved a SJP form dated 29th May stating that DVLA were claiming for unpaid tax and a false indemity claimback which of course is the £68. It also stated that I had received two previous letters offering me the oppotunity to pay that £68 but as I had not responded it was now a court claim that I must admit guilt for or defend. My post is held for weeks at a time from Royal Mail ( keepsafe) due to me receiving hospital tretament at weeks at a time that said I did not receive any previous letters from DVLA. I am happy to defend this and go to court but wondering what CAG members think? In summary I paid an initial amount of £68 and then a DD of £31 , tax cancelled  I set up a new DD at £31 a month all in the month of Feb 2024, I claimed the £68 back from my bank. DD has been coming out each month without issue and I have paperwork to show the breakdown for both DD setup's plus bank statements showing the payments coming out . The second DD set up has extended payments up to Feb/Mar 2025. DVLA claiming the £68 was ilegally claimed back despite the fact they cancelled the original DD for reasons unknown. Is this defendable ? I will post up documents including the original DD conformations

    • 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.

Just a quick first post (hello)...

 

Not started proceedings yet, just researching before I launch the assault.

 

In the past six years, Nationwide have taken at least £4324 from me in charges. However, I am six statements missing, does anyone think it's worth going the DPA route for these, or should I just estimate to £4999 (to keep within small claims) and let them worry about downsizing it?

 

(estimating figures based on months close to missing statements (they are scattered) it's quite believable it will be just over 5k, but I assume it's better to get 97% of something than 100% of nothing.)

 

My (current) thinking is that I will be going for their contractual unauthorised overdraft rate of 1.87% per month, and compounded.

 

I also have statements \ charges beyond 6years, but I think I'll go for the "easy" under 5k \ under 6yrs claim first.

 

Thanks for reading,

 

G.

Hi Garu!

I would send a S.A.R. for ALL your charges and associated interest, since the start of your account with the Nationwide.

The longest it should delay U would be 40days...but it has taken others a lot less time to get their statements.

U will be able to claim back your £10 when U submit you claim.

It's up to U if U want to split your claim e.g 6yrs + more than 6yrs.

Some others have and won...some haven't and also won.

Likewise, some have claimed for more than £5000 and won via the Fast Track and others have played safe and Underclaimed, so as to keep the re-claimed figure within the Small Claims threshold and have played safe.

I agree with U that the Compounded Contractual Unauthorised O/D % Interest Rate (24.9% APR) is the correct one to Charge Nationwide for UNLAWFULLY Borrowing your money.

...However, Banks compound their interest Daily...NOT monthly!

Just put the 24.9% APR and your personal details into the following spreadsheet (courtesy of Mindzai) and it's all done for U.

Mini update, went to create a parachute account today, failed credit scoring for premier account with a.n.other bank - makes little sense as borrowed nearly 10k in March to purchase a car with no problems, of which half is paid (no lates etc) and several thousand to deposit with new bank.

 

Head office offered lower account, I guess I need somewhere to put my money when nationwide close this one so will probably accept. Alternatively, girl in local branch was surprised by refusal and says she wants to appeal to underwriter, so all may change yet.

Hi Garu!

 

Try looking at your Credit Report via the Experian free 30 day trial (U can cancel within 30 days) web page...It may reveal hidden credit problems?!

 

A+L (...I assume it's them U applied to?) may think that U are too over-exposed with your current borrowing levels to be able to offer U their top % interest paying account (...wih low % level O/D). Being the best value current account, they may just be being picky?!

U could always re-apply for their top account after a few months of banking with them with the account they've offered U?

Hi MTM... (need to spread around the rep before I can give you more, I did try!)

 

Yes, I think I will do just that, take the lower one and then try and move up in 3-6months. Ulitmately a) I want my money from nationwide and b) I will need somewhere to put it \ my salary, so a few less perks \ interest rate isn't the end of the world.

 

Or, I can stay with all the perks of Nationwide, and they can keep my £5k.... I think not :D

 

(I do need to get my credit report sorted)

 

Thanks again.

Credit report checked, no nasty surprises.

 

We have one default, £85 of all things in May 2001, but marked as satisfied so nothing more we can do about that. I guess we will see an upturn in June 2007 when that drops off our credit history and we have no defaults etc.

Hi again Garu!

Just playing Devil's Advocate...

But what about the circumstances of the imposition of that DEFAULT?

There has been one or two CAG Members who have threads that detail their progress about having had their defaults removed earlier than 6yrs!!!

Up to U if U want to wait until June...

(...or could be even longer dependant on when the particular account gets updated!!!)

...Or U may just want to get your life back before then???...lol...:);)

 

Hope this gives U further food for thought?!

Hmm.. I like your thinking!

 

It wasn't Nationwide that placed the default but a CC company, how would you get a third party to accept it "wasn't your fault" and remove it?

 

I'll do a search! Thanks again!

Okay, done a search, seems there are ways of requesting a bank to remove a default if they applied it as a result of charges.

 

Also, seems there are ways of removing a default in isolation, but they are unrelated to charges that may have caused this.

 

I'm going to put that "on the back burner" and concentrate on the bank claim.

 

I am going to send my prelim letter, I note that you should not claim for 8% until court, but as I am going for contractual compound do I mention this in my first letter, or wait till court?

If the default is in relation to the bank charges then it would be a good idea to conquer the two at the same time.

IF MY COMMENTS HAVE HELPED PLEASE CLICK MY SCALES

 

Don't be like the banks - give a little back

I agree, if it was the bank that applied it, but I cannot see GE capital agreeing to remove it on my stating "it's all nationwide's fault".

 

It expires in May anyway.

Happy New Year Garu!

Contractual Interest has to be claimed in the Preliminary letter and U have to mention it at each letter stage, so that the Bank has a chance to pay it or dispute it.

Just enclose an updated version of your spreadsheet with every letter to let them know where your figures are coming from.

Hope this helps?!

Created my own spreadsheet so that, should it come to court, I have no problems explaining the charges interest.

 

Have created a letter based on templates here and on the money programme site, so I fully understand what I am asking of them.

 

It is also an LBA, in my opinion there is little point giving them 14days, then another 14days, when both first letters are asking the same, and we know will get the same response. They have 14days to pay back *my* money or I will file in court, and quite prepared to step into the courtroom if they wish.

 

Sent off this morning.

 

(I decided against sending off a S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) as I only have a couple of statements missing and 40days will "cost" me a month or two's worth of charges back at the beginning of my claim.)

I would be interested to see how you get on with only sending one LBA.

 

Not heard that one before !!

 

Just to confirm, have you just sent your LBA or your Court Action ?

Not filed court yet, giving them opportunity to pay me back my charges and avoid court costs.

 

Whether or not they have the sense to do that is another matter.

Hi Garu!

 

Have U read some other CAG member's threads that have had their Claims severely delayed during the Court stage, cos Banks have managed to claim that they were NOT given enough time to prepare their Defence etc?

 

Methinks that trying to shortcut the well documented process may actually backfire on U!!!

 

Hopefully I'm wrong?!

They will have plenty \ the usual amount of time to prepare their defence, I feel 14days is plenty enough time to make a decision whether or not to pay me back.

 

We both know what their decision will be.
