    • Have we seen your court bundle?   If we haven't then it's probably an idea to post it up here especially the index page and the witness statement so we can see if there is anything which might need adding or changing 
    • "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.

This might seem odd but I have been having cheques and direct debits being returned unpaid yet CLEARED FUNDS are in the account to cover the amount and this has happened on 3 occassions since November 2006.

 

I have also received Bank charges and one of the charge relates to nothing, me thinks they thought they just give me a charge for no reason.

 

I have had £57.00 refunded so far. After requesting to speak to a senior person by phone the reply is they will phone you back and never do or receive the responsse to busy please write in.

 

Now is enough, I have contact BBC Watchdog today too. I Currently have £2,000+ in my account yet NatWest tell me insufficent funds for £36.00 direct debits.

Can you explain more? Was a cheque paid into the account the previous week to cover Direct Debits? The odd charges you mention of £57 can you state what the amounts say on the statement? I need more info before being able to comment further. Was money paid in on the same days to cover Direct Debits? Were they returned by the bank or has the DD provider written to you to say they were not paid?

 

 

I'll come back to this one later on today.

Sorry that does seem odd the first bit because it has been bounced but then the charges refunded. I would ask for an explanation from natwest as to why that happened. As for the second one another explanation as well is in order. £28 is unarranged borrowing but if the other two charges were refunded I have a feeling that one may need to be refunded as well if it was part and parcel of the same transaction.

Ya but no point was I ever overdrawn I writing to them anyhow as they refunded the first bank charge TWICE!

 

NatWest worst bank ever surely! They will not give me overdraft facility yet I got credit cards and that all £0 balance and overdraft facility on other accounts not used.

Matt- surely you cannot want me to agree with you?:D

 

Matt also if a cheque was clearing you can be overdrawn on cleared funds but we need an explanation.

agree me with me if you wish.

 

Na funds of £2600+ in the account went in 2 weeks before and I defo not spent that much!

 

Anyhow Yesterday NatWest helped themselves again and failed TWO direct debits yet cleared funds in the account.

 

Today have lodged a complaint with the Financial Ombudsman who are now investigating.

 

Since November have sent TWO letters both got no reply, telephoned and was told cannot deal with this nature of complaint over the telephone, informed them no reply to letters she could not give me an answer. Go into the branch - cant see Bank Manager unless you got an appointment (probably because im complaining).

 

Moderated ... potentially libelous comments removed .

I am sorry but the last comment has to be moderated. The FSO will not look into the complaint unless it has first gone through the NatWest complaints Procedures. I would contact Customer Relations Unit either via a freephone number or via email or freepost, without knowing the account details(which I am not expecting you to provide me with as I will not look into for you) it is difficult for me to work out what has happened.

FSO is already looking into it as I have not had 1 response to the previous two letters, have posted a third letter on Friday with duplicates of the first two.

 

They had more than 8 weeks to respond its now 10 weeks since the first letter.

 

Just a joke whole bank is laughable. Requested an over draft facility - NO you do not hold enough accounts with NatWest :S bit of a wierd reason why.

 

Wonder if they would resolve the complaint if i issued consumer action group stickers n flyers outside the local branch for a week LOL

I think I will leave this thread alone now taylorit because while I am on here to help I do sometimes feel that me posting on a thread does not serve a helpful purpose. I still believe in the NatWest brand and its people which some may find surprising. I do wish you luck and I hope that the FSO will be able to get a response from what is clearly something that should not take a genius to work out with the account in front of them and should have been dealt with better than it has done.
