    • Okay so potentially it may not even get sold on? Just the default left for 6 years then gone? but if it is sold on ill get a letter from the DCA which is the notice of assignment? Sorry what is the different between a default notice and a default cal marker? yes, i may try and work arrangements out with the OCs after the breathing space but I'll see my circumstances then thank you again for all your help and patience, I really appreciate it and apologies If i am too fast or repeating myself.
    • receiving a default NOTICE (forget simple default cal markers) does not mean it will get sold on... OC's very very rarely do court themselves.  if it does you would receive a Notice of Assignment from the debt buyer/DCA.  as for reduced payment if it remains with the OC and they issue a DN, no harm in trying but lets get all your ducks inline first. dx  
    • okay thanks do you know how long it will take for it to get to the DCA or could the OC try and issue a CCJ? even though it's unlikely also for example would the OC agree to a reduction and a small payment over a super lengthy period of time if agreed? Rather than go through chasing apologies again for all the questions, just trying to understand all the possible scenarios.  
    • Currently - "the maximum daily price at 100p / kWh for electricity and 30p / kWh for gas – keep in mind that's a lot higher than the Ofgem Energy Price Cap, so if you can't afford prices to increase further, you're probably better off sticking with a protected tariff such as Flexible Octopus." Octopus Tracker is a product of our labs, available now to customers through our beta programme. Octopus Tracker is a beta product. Some things may not work the first time, and installations and processes may take longer than we'd like. Third party tech like In-home Displays won't always work, and on occasion data issues with smart meters can take significant time to fix or prevent things from working at all.   Copied straight from octopus   Feel free to shove it somewhere else    
    • depends what the fees are, typically nothing can be added once judgement is passed bar litigation costs. on document retention time limits etc at least 6yrs previous must be held though many hold complete info. as for acronyms and abbreviations ideally yes they 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.

I thought I would join the Abbey forum for my first post as that is whom I bank with.

 

I found this site purely by chance when someone mentioned it on the Intranet at work. I've been reading loads of the threads with great interest.

 

I've never considered trying to get back the charges I've paid to Abbey over the years, and as I've been banking with them for probably 20 years, they must come to a lot. (I'm useless with money)

 

One question before I start totalling it all up, Are they liable to throw me out. Despite their sometimes ineptitude I do quite like them (Or is it I don't want to come out of my comfort zone)

 

Cheers

Kymi

Kymi, sometimes they ask you to close the account but lots have stayed with their banks. If they don't close your account then the choice is yours.....

Do read all the FAQ before starting your claim and read some of the threads in the Abbey forum too. You'll see the time lines and also some "wins" to encourage you. Have a read in the other banks forums too, mine is in Lloyds..

Welcome and good luck

kymi shop around the banks, some of them will even let you open a basic account with them with out doing any credit checks etc.

I opened a Natwest step account to have my benifits and my daughter's disability into so Lloyds could no longer take it all off me...very useful.

  • 4 months later...

Because I'm essentially lazy, I didn't get very far with my claim until my daughter took it over for me. (She was horrified when she realised how much I had paid over the years lol)

 

Anyway she wrote to them for me etc and now I've got to the stage where they have offered me a goodwill gesture of £640

 

My son in law is horrified that I'm not taking the money, I am doing the right thing arn't I?

 

Cheers

Kymi

Yes of course you are, dont worry about it, they generally do this and they wouldnt if they thought that you were absolutely in the wrong, continue with your claim for the full amount

You need to send a letter declining the offer as full settlement of your claim, but in most cases they dont take it back - I got some put in my account, and was told it was mine whatever I decided to do!

 

Not very good with links and things, but there are templates for rejection letters, have a look in the library, or hopefully some clever old stick here will post you a link direct to what you need!

 

Best of luck
