    • Wait for more replies, but that letter to me can be interpreted as a letter before action. Ignoring it can have consequences. The court to impose sanctions for failure in responding to a letter of claim.
    • I'm still pondering/ trying to find docs re the above issue. Moving on - same saga; different issue I'm trying to understand what I can do: The lender/ mortgagee-in-possession has a claim v me for alleged debt. But the debt has only been incurred due to them failing to sell property in >5y. I'm fighting them on this.   I've been trying to get an order for sale for 2y.  I got it legally added into my counterclaim - but that will only be dealt with at trial.  This is really frustrating. The otherside's lawyers made an application to adjourn trial for a few more months - allegedly wanting to try sort some kind of settlement with me and to use the stay to sell.  At the hearing I asked Judge to expedite the order for sale. I pointed out they need a court-imposed deadline or this adjournment is just another time wasting tactic (with interest still accruing) as they have no buyer.  But the judge said he could legally only deal with the order at trial. The otherside don't want to be forced to sell the property.. Disclosure has presented so many emails which prove they want to keep it. I raised some points with the judge including misconduct of the receiver. The judge suggested I may have a separate claim against the receiver?   On this point - earlier paid-for lawyers said my counterclaim should be directed at the lender for interference with the receiver and the lender should be held responsible for the receiver's actions/ inactions.   I don't clearly understand that, but their legal advice was something to do with the role a receiver has acting as an agent for a borrower which makes it hard for a borrower to make a claim against a receiver ???.  However the judge's comment has got me thinking.  He made it clear the current claim is lender v me - it's not receiver v me.  Yet it is the receiver who is appointed to sell the property. (The receiver is mentioned/ involved in my counterclaim only from the lender collusion/ interference perspective).  So would I be able to make a separate application for an order for sale against the receiver?  Disclosure shows receiver has constantly rejected offers. He gave a contract to one buyer 4y ago. But colluded with the lender's lawyer to withdraw the contract after 2w to instead give it to the ceo of the lender (his own ltd co) (using same lawyer).  Emails show it was their joint strategy for lender/ ceo to keep the property.  The receiver didn't put the ceo under any pressure to exchange quickly.  After 1 month they all colluded again to follow a very destructive path - to gut the property.  My account was apparently switched into a "different fund" to "enable them to do works" (probably something to do with the ceo as he switched his ltd co accountant to in-house).   Interestingly the receiver told lender not to incur significant works costs and to hold interest.  The costs were huge (added to my account) and interest was not held.   The receiver rejected a good offer put forward by me 1.5y ago.  And he rejected a high offer 1y ago - to the dismay of the agent.  Would reasons like this be good enough to make a separate application to the court against the receiver for an order for sale ??  Or due to the main proceedings and/or the weird relationship a borrower has with a receiver I cannot ?
    • so a new powerless B2B debt DCA set up less than a month ago with a 99% success rate... operating on a NWNF basis , but charging £30 to set up your use of them. that's gonna last 5mins.... = SPAMMERS AND SCAMMERS. a DCA is NOT a BAILIFF and have  ZERO legal powers on ANY debt - no matter WHAT its type. dx

    • You could send an SAR to DCbl on the pretext that you are going for a breach of your GDPR . They should then send the purported letter of discontinuance which may show why it ended up in Gloucester and see if you can get your  costs back on the day. It obviously won't be much but  at least perhaps a small recompense for your wasted day. Not exactly wasted since you had a great win  albeit much sweeter if you had beat them in Court. But a win is a win so well done. We will miss you as it has been almost two years since you first started out on this mission. { I would n't be surprised if the wrong Court was down to DCBL}. I see you said "till the next time" but I am guessing you will be avoiding private patrolled car parks for a while.🙂

    • 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 would like to start a claim against lloydstsb for unfair charges on my account which i estimate to be over 2000 pounds over the previous 4 years.

 

I am new to this forum so any advice on how to do this will be gratefully received. I am currently browsing forum threads to gain required information.

 

I see other members have threads for their own claims and the level of progress they are making. Hopefully this will keep track of my progress against the greed of the banking industry! :D Wish me luck

Hi Kevin.

 

Start by spending a few days reading the FAQs and the step by step guide in the library section. That will answer most of your initial questions and show you what is involved.

 

Read some of the longer threads in this forum to get an idea of dealing with Lloyds.

 

If you follow the well-tried and tested procedures suggested on this site....... You won't need luck.

I gather that my first step would be to write a letter to my bank requesting copy statements of charges incurred by myself through returned direct debits and unauthorised overdraft usage. I can request this within a 40 day period and is it right that they cannot charge me their standard charges for copy statements? I don't want to be handed a bill of 5 pounds per sheet. I read in the forums that it is a maximum total charge for 10 pounds to request this information from them?

 

I have found the template letter needed so I will send out and then start the task of adding up the total amount of unlawful charges on my account. That should be fun lol

Hi and welcome!:)

Yes the maximum they can charge is £10, so you should put a cheque/postal order in with your letter. Also send it recorded delivery as LTSB tend to "lose" a lot of these requests;) .

Good luck, and keep us informed on how you are getting on.

Arghhhh it's now been one month since I sent the data request letter and no response. The cheque I sent has not tried to be cashed either. What should I do? Another letter to remind them? or try calling them? If so does anyone know the best number to call? :confused:

Thanks Barty, I managed to find the birmingham number in the helpful contacts thread. I called them last week and it seemed they were fobbing me off saying they had no record of my letter. She said to call back this week and check again.

 

Well I just called and they confirmed receipt of my requested and assured me it would be out before the 10th of March (the 40 day limit) woooo! I'm sure i'll need a hand with the next step....figuring out how much they owe me

I received my list of charges today!

 

I have completed a schedule of charges on a spreadsheet. It lists the charge description, the amount, the date charged to my account, number of days charge has been applied and finally calculated interest of the charge. This has been set at 8%, how do I know if this is the correct interest rate I should be trying to claim for? I think it's too difficult to figure out the interest they charged me for what might be another £20 or so.

 

I now send out a premilinary request for repayment of charges made on my account?

 

I'm just wanting to double check as I don't want to stuff it up and end up with nothing lol

Hi

The 8% is the statutory interest you will recieve if your claim goes to Court. I think you are getting it mixed up with the Contractual Interest??

Yes send the Prelim letter now.

Well they have replied, it looks like a standard letter and then an even more standard response attached. It says they will try to respond to my complaint within 2 weeks and then refers me to the 2nd page which details their complaints procedures may take up to 8 weeks but most will be resloved or replied within 4 weeks.

 

Should i give them the 2 weeks? or should i send another letter as the first 14 days has now passed. I'm inclined to sit and wait the 2 weeks and then see how they respond, rather than straight send out the 14 days to court letter.

 

Anyone else have an opinion what I should do next?

I decided to wait for their reply which i have just recieved. It looks like it was just a delaying tactic as here is the reply they have now sent.

 

Dear Mr Westlake

 

blah blah blah

 

The Office of Fair Trading has published new guidelines on credit card default charges. We're still talking it through with them, but the important point is that the guidelines are about 'default' charges that people pay when they break an agreement with us. This doesn't apply to your charges as these were for dealing with your request to go over your agreed overdraft limit. They are not default charges because you haven't broken your agreement. They are our prices for the service we provide in these situations.

 

I do hope you can see that we make our charging system as fair as possible - and why i can't agree to cancel your charges.

 

I hope this fully answers the points you raised with us.

 

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

 

OMG I'm furious!! What should I do next? and why have they mentioned credit card charges when all my charges are for my current bank account? I never requested to go over my agreed overdraft as i don't have an overdraft.

 

What should I do now? Just send out the 14 days pay or go to court letter?

Ok deadline will be up on the 17th. I should start preparing my MCOL?

 

It says i need the following information;

 

Full name and address of the person(s) you wish to make a claim against

Amount you wish to claim

 

 

Facts relating to the claim e.g. dates, times, events, invoice numbers etc.

 

 

I have to provide invoice numbers? or do i just send my spreadsheet of charges?

 

I guess this is going to be the most complicated part. Bad timing too as the nat west case has been adjourned until around 30th of april. Maybe that will affect all new rulings if they win.

 

any help is most welcome!

HI Kevin

 

I filed online and posted the schedule of charges to mcol northampton.Just had Lloyds acknowledge the claim on 12/4/ given them 14 more days to file defence which runs out 1/5

 

cheers

 

ironman

 

I've started preparing mcol, but you only get 24 lines to put in your claim. It's all looks a bit complicated now I need to get cracking on it as their 2nd 14day deadline is up so I should be proceeding with mcol asap.

 

The schedule of charges is the spreadsheet with the charges and interest worked out right? or is it the copy of bank charges?

 

confused! lol

1. The Claimant has an account xxxxxx with the Defendant, opened 2001 2. Since 03/12/01 the Defendant debited charges and interest in respect of purported breaches of contract.

3. Defendant is aware of all details as a list of charges has already been supplied. Another copy will be sent.

4. Claimant contends: (a) The charges exceed the Defendant's losses caused by the breaches; (b) The Term permitting the Defendant to levy such charges is unenforceable under the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999, Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 and at Common Law. 5. Claimant claims: (a) return of the amounts debited of £2321.00; (b) Interest per S.69 County Courts Act 1984 of 8% - £473.70 as of 01/03/07, and continuing at 8% until judgment or settlement at a daily rate of £0.61; 6. Alternatively, if the charges are a fee for a service, then they must be reasonable under S.15 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982. 7. Costs allowed by the Court.

 

I'm not sure if the spreadsheet I downloaded is accurate as the number of days don't rely to the date now. My last charge was 01/03/07 and it's worked out just 2 days interest, it should be 46 days now?

 

Its giving me a headache now! I might think sod it to the interest and just apply for the charges to be refunded.

That's odd, if you used the Simple s/s from here:

6. Interest calculation spreadsheets

 

it should update automatically every time you open the s/s. Click on the time in your taskbar and check the date is set to todays.

 

Otherwise download a new copy and enter that charge and see if it calculates to 46 days.

 

I might think sod it to the interest and just apply for the charges to be refunded.

For an extra £473, it's even worth re-doing the whole lot surely, even if you delay filing for a day or two.

I read on here that once a court claim has been filed we need to register it with the wbesite? I can't find where i need to give this info. I guess this is so that statistics can be made?

 

My claim will was deemed to be served as of 22/04/07 and filed on 17/04/07. so now i just wait to see if lloyds contact me or if they defend it.
