    • That "oh dear" doesn't sound good  
    • Oh dear.. Misuse of facility...  Cat 6... No wonder everything is being nuked from high orbit... More in a bit.. 
    • Thank you fkofilee First question: what do I do if Monzo close my account? I need an account but no one will touch me with this marker against me. Is there anywhere/any other option that I have if Monzo close my account? MCB is My Community Bank?  Yes What Category of Marker do you have? This is what it says on the Cifas SAR: Application date: 07 December 2023 Date recorded: 09 April 2024 Expiry date: 09 April 2030 Cifas Case Identifier: 15435315 Product relating to the application, proposal, account or facility: Personal Loan – Unsecured Facility: Granted Case type: Misuse of facility Reason(s) for filing: Evasion of payment Financial Loss Value of Loss: £5000.00 When did you raise the complaint? Last night via email Do you have Correspondence / Audit Trails of communications showing that you were in severe financial strain due to an event AFTER you took the loan? I can prove that I had to buy a new washing machine, I have my pay slips showing the emergency tax code and a letter from the tax office after I had spoken with them to get it corrected and of course I can get a copy of my vet bill. And all of this was in the first 2-3 months of 2024.  I panicked. Stupid I know and as you say, I have learned the hard way and I am not in any way denying anything that I have done wrong, but it just feels a bit unfair.  It is what it is I guess and if I have to have it on me forever then so be it. I am just so worried about the bank situation 😕    
    • If it is MCB    National Fraud Database Members | Preventing Fraud Losses | Cifas WWW.CIFAS.ORG.UK A range of organisations use the National Fraud Database to share data on confirmed fraud cases, preventing over £1 billion in fraud losses every year.   They are on the register  
    • Hi @LilMissM   I guess you could call me our resident CIFAS Specialist - Personally have been through all of what you have and now have come out the other side when my marker fell off in May 2023. For a start Monzo may close your account but as I had a Marker for App Fraud (Vodafone ended up making a whole hoohah of the account I had with them) - I was with them and still am from Oct 2017 till today. And not once did they close my account. I actually spoke to a couple of current account providers at the time that I had accounts with - Nationwide and Barclays - Told them what was going on and provided all the evidence to them. They advised they may do so but it was highly unlikely now that they understood why it happened and what I was doing to fight it.    Anyway - On to your marker. MCB is My Community Bank?  I can say to you that on experience that On Monday you can be on top of the world then on Tuesday you whole life changes in a flash of an eye. Suddenly you cant pay your bills, Work isnt feasible and you are left with no other choice but to scrape by.  If this has happened to you, then join the club.  - Why is this important? Well Financial institutions get one whiff of potential fraud and you are guilty without a chance to respond. You found out the hard way   If it sounds like I'm waffling, I'm not - Its important to your issue. They have deemed you guilty by the fact that no payments have been made and potentially entered into a loan agreement knowing looking not to pay (Although thats how it may appear, there will always be factors against that)    First off - Questions - What Category of Marker do you have? If unsure, check my signature for a Credit File Guide which will tell you all you need to know about what Categories apply.  - When did you raise the complaint? They will have 8 weeks to respond. More on this in a mo.  - Do you have Correspondence / Audit Trails of communications showing that you were in severe financial strain due to an event AFTER you took the loan?   My next suggestions, Send this complaint to the CEOs office - CEOEMAIL.COM Let them make the decision as per the Complaint Procedure. Then if they refuse to remove the marker. take it to the FOS who can force the company to remove it if found in favour.  Some companies do need a slap or 2 once in a while to bring them down a peg. You could be looking at this right now.

    • 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 all,

 

I have been reading all your comments with interest.

I am trying to get my charges refunded from Nationwide also. I have sent the initial request and LBA (dated 14th Feb). I had a reply saying no to the initial letter but have not had a reply relating to my LBA.

Should I go ahead and file a claim or wait for a letter beck from Nationwide?

I am very scared at this stage and don't know what to do so any help would be appreciated!

 

Thanks

Michelle :?

Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't this £12 limit already apply to credit cards yet they are still paying out claims why - Is it because that the £12 figure decided FSA/Ombudsman is still too high. If it costs the banks less than they charge to cancel a direct debit etc it is still unlawful regardless what the FSA/Ombudsman state the only way to reach a correct figure is for the banks to disclose what it costs them:rolleyes:. Until then I think the claims will go on.

 

Correct Mahharg.... And in regard to the allocation questionnaire, I am not sure of which path to go down (old strat or new)? What you said makes sense as I could do without the hassle of putting together a court bundle to be honest... however I must do more reading first as I have not fully got my head around both strategys... Comments appriciated....

 

I have received no notification that Nationwide have acknowled my claim as of yet... they have until 14th March (9 days) from today.

 

Thanks for everyones comments... Keep us posted..

 

Will keep you up to date.... Smesin

I heard from the local County Court today. The Court have reminded the Nationwide that they have until Friday 9th March to file a defence, which they have not done as yet. If they fail to defend then the claim defaults in my favour and I will finally receive the £1045 that they still owe me! Unless that is I get to send the bailiffs in??

Hello Smesin good to see you back on your own thread.

 

Correct Mahharg.... And in regard to the allocation questionnaire, I am not sure of which path to go down (old strat or new)? What you said makes sense as I could do without the hassle of putting together a court bundle to be honest...

 

Because both AQ are ok in their own right suppose you need to ask your self a few questions

1) Will the bank use their stalling tactics to delay paying out.

A) At the moment not Nationwide (compared to others). They could change though.

 

2) Am I prepared to wait for my money (interest will be increasing everyday) should they apply these tactics.

 

A) If yes then go for the original AQ. You will get your money.

 

If no then go for the new AQ if you don't mind getting your court bundle together.

 

does this help make your mind up!

Knowledge is Power

Go get em!

Have I been of any help to you? if so please click my scales to the left to enhance my reputation. Thank you. If not PM me.

I filed our claim on the 28th feb and havent heard a dicky bird as yet. I wait with anticipation. :rolleyes:

Kwaker I sent mine on 21st I was told by my county court that it wouldn't be issued for around 10 days. I phoned court on 1st March (premature I know) and was told it had been issued on 28th Feb and notice sent to me same day. Still waiting for post to arrive (good old royal mail). I think you have to wait a little longer or contact your local court and ask how long it should take before issue they should have an idea.

 

P.S. Hows the No Smoking going?

7 weeks and 3 days now and I have been to the local a couple of times. Found it easy with a drink(strange) just drink faster Hic!. I have had my tough moments but got over them. I am now going through days without even thinking about them :D As you can see my teeth are whiter as wel:lol:.

how about you then Smesin still off the fags.

Mr Bacon put his email address on mine... Hmmm could be very nasty.. but i wont

 

I will, his email address is [email protected]

 

If you want to email him, email him - we certainly don't owe him any favours - all he is doing is delaying all your claims and mine waiting for an announcement from the OFT. My claim has been going on since Oct 06 and I'm still waiting for FULL settlement.

Hi everybody. Hope you don't mind me joining the gang at this point. I'm taking on Nationwide too and below is my story so far:

 

15/12/06 First letter claiming £22 + £5.65 interest on a Flex Joint Account

28/12/06 Standard Rejection Letter (SRL) from NW

2/01/07 Second letter informing Court Action

10/01/07 SRL from NW

 

At this point I read that it might be possible to claim beyond six years and so I have now started from scratch and issued a 'First' letter claiming charges on both a Flex Personal and a Flex Joint Account.

 

31/01/07 New 'First' letter claiming £297 'without interest as a gesture of goodwill' !!! (Am I naive or what?)

6/02/07 SRL from NW (Richard Huntley)

9/02/07 Another SRL from NW (Mary Lydon)

22/02/07 Another SRL from NW (Michael Colton)

 

I'm now in the process of using the Small Claims Pack Form N1.

Question? Is everything I'm doing so far all OK? Any advice appreciated. Thanks

Ok, check this out... This is the letter I received from the complaints department when it was passed on to them. Ive not heard of them admitting defeat in this way before but atleast I now have clarification and don't have to worry about court, etc. Has anyone else ever had this letter?

 

Nevertheless, I have still not received my money.... Will celebrate when I see it in my account!!!!!!!!!

wow, great letter, maybe they have decided to save themselves some cash and just pay out now. After all, their strategy so far must have cost them.

BTW - have you asked them about the interest on those charges?

Nationwide have justpart settled my claim. I claimed contractaul interest but they chose top pay SI interest plus charges and court fees. Do I have to advise the court of partial settlement or do I simply wait to se if they file a defence?

 

How would the court view it if I let it go to default date (i.e. no defence filed) even though they have part settled?

 

Hope this makes sense ; i.e. Nationwide have NOT settled my claim, only part of it.....doesnt that mean that they MUST file a defence as to why they have done this? If they dont file a defence can I request a default judgement?

:wink:

Quest,

 

I did three things when I ws n your situation;

 

1) Read a lot of threads, including other banks to get a feel for what might happen and gather help.

2) Telephoned the Nationwide HQ and asked them whay they had not re-imbursed the full amount of my claim and informed them that I would pursue this to the end.

3) When MCOL asked me I the claim had been settled I informed then only partially, whereby the case was transfered to my local County Court and I filed a continuation of the claim for the outstanding amount via the Allocation Questionaire.

 

In my case NW has to file a defence by today, I await the outcome.
