    • Just a typo change that I'd make for the last line. Maybe also add something that says "I assume you will be fully aware that you cannot rely on a clause of a contract that you do not produce."
    • Hello, Firstly, and most importantly I am sorry for your loss. I would go back to the bank with the death certificate and ask them to step in. Remind them firmly but politely that there is no limit for DD claims   Please let us know how you get on.
    • My wife is the named person to his bank account with him having Dementia being his daughter (I say named person she still is but he recently passed away and the deputyship application has now being stopped by the solicitor as it's no longer needed) We've only just got the Death Certificate so the bank will be the next step informing them. She went to the bank and explained the situation but even being his named person the bank said she didn't have the power to stop DD without any legal documents (virgin money) was the bank. She could have copies of bank statements that was about it.
    • I see you said you tried to stop the DD but it seems that didn't work. May I please ask why that didn't work? You should be asking your bank to cancel the DD and I don't see why they would have objected, hopefully you can clarify this. I agree that you should be making a claim here against your bank and ask them for a DD refund. There is no timeframes for this.
    • JK: Yeah That's correct. We left rent payment coming out of his bank account from January 2023 - August 2023 until we could find somewhere to sort out his belongings which was fine. I tried to give notice a few times from August 2023 asking for advice from Sanctuary housing how we went about this explaining his condition and that he was in a Nursing home from December 2022. I explained we don't have any legal powers to his account like POT but were in the process of going for Deputyship and that I was the named person to act on his behalf to speak with Santuary housing. I said we could provide details of his condition and proof he was now in a nursing home with date he moved in. This went ignored despite repeated attempts to contact them until a housing manager contacted us end of February 2024 and notice was finally accepted with his tenancy coming to an end March 22 2024. Although they have continued to take rental payments for the flat despite someone else living in it from the 1st April. I wasn't aware payments were still being taken till I checked his May banks statements. I had asked them to back date rental payments to August 2023 when I gave notice rather than just giving notice in March 2024 but they've ignored that bit. I don't see why they shouldn't give it back they've taken money they shouldn't have. Thanks DX, I wasn't aware we could do that for that length of time. I'll ask my wife to check with the bank this week

    • 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.

We have started the ball rolling with the second of our banks now, Halifax owe us a stupid £1500, mostly from the last 12 months! Initial letter has been sent asking for the money back. I don't want to have to go to court on this one (finding the £80 is quite difficult sometimes) so hopefully they will just stump up straight away

Well we got a letter today with the usual leaflet and saying they are looking into our complaint and we will receive a reply within 4 weeks.

From what I've read here we should stick to our time frame and not be dictated to. Consequently we are going to write to them today givng them an additional 7 days to comply (this brings the date to April 21st) and if we have had no satisfactory response in that time we will proceed with the court action.

Do you think that is the best approach?

Here is the letter we have sent to Halifax today, I think this more than states our situation to Halifax and let's them know we're not messing about :D

 

Your reference: *********

 

Dear Dawn Pugh,

 

Thank you for your response to our letter dated the 1st April. We have considered your timescale and found this to be unacceptable. However, we are prepared to allow an extra 7 days from the date of the original letter for you to conduct your investigation, this will take the deadline to April 21st.

 

I am sure for a company of your size, this deadline is more than fair. If a full refund has not been received by this date, we will initiate action through the county courts,

 

Yours sincerely,

 

BeardedLaydee

And today is the deadline. Court action initiated. Oh why can't one bank just pay up without having to go to court about it. It would be so much easier :p

I know. You'd think they'd have got the message by now wouldn't you?

 

Keep us posted with your progress and don't forget to go to the litigation section and put your details in.

Actually, thinking about it, I don't mind going through the hassle of court action if it means we'll get the extra interest

I am doing the court action bit tomorrow morning went to the court today for the papers and dropping them in tomorrow do I include the spread sheet of charges with it or do I save that for court if it does infact go that far?

I did my claim online, and included all the interest in the total. Got my claim number there and then. I think it may be wise to put your spreadsheet in with your papers if you're going down to the court buildings - that way, they won't need to contact you later.

 

Best of luck!
