    • Our price is the same all day, but varies day to day. Yes there's a risk of high prices but it has never gone above SVR any time since I signed up. Last 30 days average 17.67p/kWh, max 20.67 and lowest was 11.83.  It saved just under £300 during 2023.  
    • It you had E7 in the past but have converted to single rate then the meter will still hold the last recorded Night readings. This introduces scope for error when manually reading. If the meter has only ever been used on single rate then there's only one figure that can be taken. For example ours shows "Rate 1" reading and a "Total import" reading, but they both give the sme figure. If it has ever been on E7 the total will be higher, including the retained night reading.
    • okay, perfect and thank you so much for the help once again. so firstly i am going to initiate the breathing space, during this time it's likely ill receive a default. when i receive the default are you aware of how long it will take for me to know whether the OC have sold it off to DCAs? Once it's with the DCAs i do not need to worry as they cannot issue a CCJ only the OCs can Even if i decide to come an arrangement with the DCAs no point as the default will remain for 6 years paid or not paid I should only consider repayment if the OC still won the debt and then issue a CCJ? Just to confirm the default will not be seen after 6 years? No one can tell I had one then after 6 years ill be all good?
    • I'm not sure we were on standard tariffs - I've uploaded as many proofs as I can for the ombudsman - ovo called last night uping the compensation to 100 from 50 pounds for the slip in customer service however they won't acknowledge the the problem them not acknowledging a fault has caused nor are they willing to remedy anything as they won't accept the meter or formula was wrong.   I'd appreciate more details on the economy 7 approach and I'll update the ombudsman with any information you can share. 
    • To re-iterate and highlight my urgent question on this one: The N24 from the court did not include any instructions to submit paperwork 28 days before the date, unlike the N157 received for other smaller claims. Do I have to submit a WS for this court date? Link has!...

    • 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 guys, I have followed this site briefly over the last month and only several days ago received my bank statements but there a few problems before I continue to the next stage.

 

My request for bank statements in the past six years listed all four of my accounts, and I sent a £10 cheque along with the letter. Was this the correct thing to do or should I have posted an individual letter and cheque for each account?

 

I have only received my Credit card statements, and none for the other three accounts. Will these arrive soon assuming I completed the first step correctly?

 

I recently upgraded my Credit card to platinum to reduce interest for 19% to 15% therefore I assume my Gold account is closed. Will this prevent me from claiming the £238 worth of charges?

 

I look forward to your advice and the return of my hard earned cash :)

 

regards

 

Karl

Hi Karl.

You can reclaim charges from an account whether it is open or closed....makes no difference.

 

They have 40 days to comply with a Data Protection Act SARs request... you didn't say how long ago you sent it. Did you definitely put all the account numbers on the letter?

 

Personally, I would contact the bank and tell them that they still have not complied with your request. Tell them if they don't comply, then you will report the non-compliance to the Information Commissioners Office.

 

Good luck.

Regards, Rooster.

Thanks Rooster.

 

I sent it the 25th November, I'll give them a few more days. All the account numbers were correct, just checked the copy.

 

It is absolutely ok to put more than one account on the data protection act letter then?

 

When it comes to court (assuming it does) will I have to file a separate case for each account or for the total sum?

I sent mine to

 

Lloyds TSB Bank plc

25 Gresham Street

Now obviously this can't be too much of a problem because I received the statements fro my credit card account but if I am to complain about not complying with my 40 day deadline who should I write too?

Thank you very much, was looking around myself. Can be quite hard to find things on this site :p but regardless, it's a fantastic resource.

Well blow me down, I just realised I can order statements using online banking. How I didn't notice this before is beyond me, since falling into the money trap a few times I have become an excellent accountant and use internet banking daily.

 

Would it be worth writing to them anyway because I have already started and they're late or should I just order them online?

 

edit: it only goes back as far as 2002 though

Dear Penny

 

Account: Axxxxxxx, Bxxxxxxx, Cxxxxxxx, Dxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

I am in receipt of the documents that you have supplied in response to my Data Protection Act information request dated 24th November 2006. The disclosure of personal data is incomplete in that at least the following documents are missing.

 

You have failed to provide me a complete list of transactions and charges for accounts Axxxxxxx, Bxxxxxxx and Cxxxxxxx.

 

I have however received a complete list of transactions and charges for account Dxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

 

This is not an exhaustive list by any means, it is just an example of some of the information I am missing.

 

Accordingly, I have to tell you that you have not yet complied with your obligations under the Data Protection Act 1998.

 

The time for compliance with my request has now expired. If you do not comply fully with my Subject Access Request within 7 days, I shall apply to the County Court for an order to enforce compliance, together with damages at the discretion of the court.

 

Yours faithfully,

I posted this morning, recorded delivery. Can't wait to get this under way properly. I'm really looking forward to the process and if I'm honest I hope they will defend and allow me to add interest so I reclaim more money.

 

greedy I know :p

Hey thanks Barty

 

Don't worry, for the time being this place will be my second home. I am just reading and re-reading and re-reading everything I can find. It's an inspiration to read some of the successful claims too.

  • 4 months later...

Well, I have to confess this place wasn't my second home:o

 

I have been so lazy the past few months, there was lots going on but really I have no excuse.

 

On with the claim I say, this time I will not be distracted!

 

Ok I'm currently filling in the compound sheet with my charges (I haven't sent a request for refund yet).

 

I'm assuming I have to fill a new spreadsheet for each account?

 

Is there anything else I need to know about contractual interest, why would I only claim 8% if I can claim much more?

 

With my initial request for a refund can I include the contractual interest or will that have to wait until this goes to court?

 

What is the APR?:o is it 29.8%?

 

I am reading everything I can honest, and I apologise if my questions should be obvious from the material on this site. I'm getting there :)

 

regards

Put simply, becouse there is no basis in law for claiming interest at the banks contractual rate.

 

Be aware that should you claim it, its likely that it will be defended.

Thanks for that Gary. Very interesting. It may be best to go for the 8% and be happy. The extra cash would be nice though :p

 

One more question if you wouldn't mind

 

When I request a refund do I send seperate letters for each account (select, graduate, platinum MC) or do I collaborate the charges in one request?

I know, its understandably tempting to go for CI but unfortunately many have come unstuck by claiming it. There is no legal basis for it, so basically you're relying on the bank paying it before court - which is fine if they do, but Lloyds have started to defend them lately and in the current climate its not worth the risk. Best to stick with what your entitled to IMO.

When I request a refund do I send seperate letters for each account (select, graduate, platinum MC) or do I collaborate the charges in one request?

By all means collaberate them all in your prelim and LBA letters, but file a seperate claim for each. In fact, the 2 current accounts should be ok on a single claim form, but certainly keep the CC one seperate - its got a completely different set of Terms & Conditions.

Hey there, I'm a little stuck once again:oops:

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/182-6-interest-calculation-spreadsheets.html

 

I am using the advanced credit card spreadsheet and I'm confused on the interest columns.

 

I am entering the interest only for the month in which I was charged.

 

Is the statement balance clolumn before or after credits to the account because my statements just show a final balance

 

For example

 

16th Sep 2002

 

transactions

.

.

16th sep - late charges £18

16th sep - protection plan £3.08

16th sep - interest £.15

--------------------------------------

 

Do I put the statement balance as less than what my monthly payment was so for example I paid £50 that month. I put the balance as balance-50,a nd amount paid as 50.

 

Hope that makes sense

 

Karl

rereading that makes no sense even to me, I'm sorry. I'll try to clarify it a bit more.

 

The columns and an example monthly statement from 2004 is below.

 

Statement date : 17th May 2004

Balance from previous statement : £3757.55

Credits : £70.10

New transactions & charges £168.22

New balance : £3855.67

 

The new balance considers the late charges, the interest and my payment of £70.01. So how do I fill in the following columns.

 

Interest Charges - Statement Balance - Amount Paid - Remaining Balance
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    51.99         don't know             70.10        auto calculated

 

Is the remaining balance supposed to show my ending balance for that month which is £3855.67?

 

Neither of those values for statement balance return the correct new balance on my statement, so should it be entered as £3785.57 which is my new balance minus my £70.10 credit.

Bump #23

 

I am just preparing my preliminary letter ready to be printed when I have clarified my spreadsheet data.

 

I just need to make sure that I have this right. I'm claiming for three accounts. Select, Graduate, Platinum MC.

 

Do I send one preliminary letter or two (select & graduate, credit card)?

 

If sending two letters, do they go to the same address and same recipient?
