    • We need to see the actual document from the IAS where it is written - "The Operator's evidence shows no payment for the Appellant's vehicle, or anything similar. It does show two payments for the same registration in quick succession. I would take a reasonable guess, based on the circumstances described, that the person paying has paid for the registration of the person they assisted again." You can't just type it up yourself. At the hearing in July or August or whenever the judge will have two Witness Statements. One from Bank's director says you never made a second appeal. You say you did make a second appeal and the IAS concluded that payment was made. The judge will immediately twig that either you or the director is lying.  But who? Fail to show the documentation form the IAS and instead just produce something you've typed yourself will make it look like you just made up the appeal and you are lying and you will lose the case. Please let us see what the IAS adjudicator sent.
    • I used to have a retail outlet in London selling my husband's photography.  We also had a co-op with staff so they weren't directly employed by me, but I paid for the other overheads etc.  When my husband died, I carried on as usual for a while but then I became ill and moved quite far away so logistically was becoming very difficult.  I came to an arrangement (verbal) with one of the guys I trusted, that I would send him the images to print and sell as normal, and I wouldn't take any money, as a short term solution until I got back on my feet and worked out the best way to do things. He would pay all the  rent, insurance etc... Over a year later, not able to give things away for free anymore,  I drew up a contract as a wholesale agreement, so I would get everything printed and sent to him and I would invoice his for what he ordered. I noticed form the beginning that he wasn't ordering enough or frequently enough to be making any money, and was suspicious he was doing his own orders on the sly and ordering just enough from me to keep my happy.  I checked with my printer, which I've been with for 20 years, and he sad he wasn't getting orders for my images from anyone else. I emailed a few other printers to ask them to keep a look out for some images but I soon realised this would be impossible to police.  The only option really would be to buy a print from him and check the stamp on the back of it.  I finally managed to get hold of on the prints on sale, and sure enough, he did not order it through me.   In the contract he signed in 2022 it explicitly states that he must destroy all files I had previously sent him etc etc so e is in breach of that.  When I drew up the contract, I was careful to make sure it was legally binding, but before I let rip at him, I need to know where I stand.  The contract is here: PARTIES This WHOLESALE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made effective as of 30th June, 2022, by and between ############################## The Supplier and the Client, collectively referred to as the "Parties," hereby agree to the following terms: TERMS AND CONDITIONS SALES OF GOODS The Supplier agrees to provide the following goods to the Client (“Goods”): Description of Goods ################################# Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b BOTH PARTIES AGREE: The Client purchases the Goods through the Supplier directly, and agrees to delete/destroy any previously held digital images (Goods) owned by the Supplier, and agrees not to use any such files for monetary gain, outside of this agreement, either directly or through a third party from immediate effect of this agreement. The Client purchases the other materials necessary for resale of the Goods independently of this agreement. The Client shall have exclusive rights for resale of Goods at ###########, and also with permission, as a retailer of the Goods elsewhere, provided that there is no conflict of interest between the Supplier and the Client. The Client is free to decide their own retail prices, for the Goods. The Supplier shall use #####  to provide the printed Goods on Fujifilm Crystal Archive paper, with Lustre finish, and will not use any other Printer unless #### cease to trade, without prior approval from the Client. The Supplier shall not impose restrictions on size or frequency of orders made by the Client. The prices provided by the Supplier shall not increase for a minimum of 3 years, unless the prices of the raw materials rise, in which case the client will be informed immediately. Any discounts/promotional prices of raw materials shall be passed on to the Client by the Supplier, and the invoice will show adjustments for this, as well as credit for return postage of any damaged goods. This agreement can be terminated by the Client without notice; the Supplier must give notice of no less than 90 days, unless the terms of the agreement are breached, in which case, the agreement can be terminated with immediate effect. PAYMENT Orders must be paid for upon receipt of invoice, via Bank transfer: ######### Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b DELIVERY AND INSPECTIONS All orders received by 12.00am (midnight) shall be processed by the Supplier the following working day and delivery of order shall arrive in accordance with the Royal Mail schedule, or DPD, should express delivery be requested. The Client shall be liable for the delivery charge which shall be added to the invoice. The Goods will be delivered to the address specified by the Client. The Client shall be provided with order tracking, and should any problems arise with the ordering system or the couriers (Royal Mail, DPD), the Client shall be informed without delay of any such issues. The Client will inspect the Goods and report any defects or damage to the Goods in transit as soon as possible upon receipt of Goods, and will retain damaged Goods for return to Supplier for refund/replacement. GENERAL PROVISIONS CONFIDENTIALITY The prices of the Goods and other information contained in this Agreement is confidential and will not be disclosed by either party unless with prior written consent of the other party. INDEMNIFICATION The Client indemnifies the Supplier from any claims, liabilities, and expenses made by any third party vendors or customers of the Client. GOVERNING LAW This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with UK Law. ACCEPTANCE Both parties understand and accept the wholesale arrangement stipulated under this Agreement. Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Parties has executed this Wholesale Agreement as of the day and year set forth above.   Signed by us both electronically.   I haven't broached any of this yet, and I am looking for some advice about what action to take.  The main issue I've got is that he has still go those images.  If I terminate the contract, I will need to know that he no longer has those images and I can't think of a bulletproof way to do this. I'm thinking I might tell him I will continue with the contract but ask for a  sum in damages and say that if I find out he's still doing it down the line I will terminate the contract and sue him for damages. The damages side of things I'm not sure how it would work as he is self employed, and I'm positive he doesn't declare all of his earnings to HMRC, in order to find out how much I have lost, would the court demand to go through his tax self assessments?  I'm not sure how to proceed with this, I don't want to lose that place as an outlet as it is in a prime spot in London, which is why I let him have those images in the first place as I would have had to pull out altogether at that point.  I am regretting it somewhat now though.  Please help.
    • I cannot locate anything in my paper work that states 2 payments were made? Perhaps you could point this out? In reply from IAS it states "The ticketing data has been attached" nothing was sent to me. I made a response to the IAS all this was done online
    • Thanks again for your responses. The concern I have here, is that freeholder of the land (a company, who presumably would have been the ones to have initially instructed PPM to manage the parking here), will have proof of exactly how long the vehicle was on site for, as the driver was meeting operatives from that company on a separate matter. On this basis, if the matter was to get to court, I feel all the other technicalities about signage, size of signage/font, lack of start/finish times, will not be enough to have any case dropped? This PCN was brought up to the freeholder but they have advised that PPM will not waive this charge.

    • 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.

Got initial letter back from First Direct - dated 16th May.

 

They state they will provide me with copies of my account's statements and also Notes regarding manual intervention - these will be delivered by courier.

 

They also sent back my £10 cheque stating that the information will be provided free of charge - so that's a good start! :)

 

They also mention that they only keep records of this sort for a maximum of 6 years - I don't know if this is correct or not - I just asked for all accounts since it was opened (about 13 years worth in total!). If you know different, please advise.

 

Thanks.

Great wad of statements arrived via courier on 8th June.

 

Went through all these (dating back to 2000) and came up with a total of £2,278 in penalty charges. Well, that's worth chasing, so got back on here and looked out the template for the letter asking for repayment.

 

Sent this off later the same day by recorded delivery.

 

Now awaiting the reply, which I guess will tell me to go away! :p

And guess what........

 

Got my letter today, 15th June.

 

First Direct does not agree.......Ts&Cs..........when you opened your account......Robert Kernaghan..........8 weeks matters resolved.........Financial Ombudsman..............'Listening to your comments' leaflet.............

(as copied from Mindbomb's post).

 

They state they got my letter "today" - that being 13th June according to the date on thier letter (even though I posted it first class on 8th), but never mind - I'll wait the 14 days from 13th June to be safe before sending the next letter.

 

This is getting exciting now! :grin:

Good, but it was deemed delivered 2 days after posting. 14 days timeline should be based around that. It's your agenda, do not let them dictate terms.

Look forward to reading about your success. :)

Keep up the good work. ;)

Can't wait - LBA sent off today! Well, they sent me the "sod off" letter saying if they didn't hear within 8 weeks, etc., etc., so 12 days is long enough to wait.

 

Copy of letter below for those interested, sent to our friend Robert Kernaghan:

 

LETTER BEFORE ACTION

Dear Sir, Your Ref: x/xxxx/xxxxxx/xxx

 

ACCOUNT NUMBER: xxxxxxxx

 

I refer to the letter from Steve Smithard, Credit Services Customer Relations, dated 13th June 2006.

 

I am very disappointed that you have failed to respond positively to my letter dated 8th May 2006 (although posted on 8th June 2006). I now understand that the regime of 'fees' which you have been applying to my account in relation to direct debit refusals, exceeding overdraft limits and so forth are unlawful at Common Law, Statute and recent Consumer regulations.

 

I would draw your attention to the terms of the contract which you agreed to at the time that I opened my account. It is an implied term of that contract that you would conduct yourselves lawfully and in a manner which complies with UK law.

 

I am frankly shocked that you have operated my account in this way as I had always reposed confidence in your integrity and expertise as my fiduciary.

 

I calculate that you have taken £2,278 from my account in penalty charges over the last 6 years. In addition you have charged me overdraft interest for the sum which you have taken, although at this point in time I have not calculated the extra amounts involved. This depends on your response

I am enlosing a copy of the schedule of the charges which I am claiming. I have already sent you a copy of this in my original letter of the 8th May 2006.

 

I require repayment in full of this money. If you do not comply fully within 14 days then I shall begin a claim against you for the full amount plus interest plus my costs and without further notice.

 

Furthermore, I shall submit a Consumer Credit Act 1974 complaint to the OFT upon the basis that you have failed to comply with the OFT's direction of 5 April 2006 and are therefore not a 'fit and proper person' to hold a consumer credit licence under the 1974 Act. If you do not understand what this means then seek advice from your legal department.

 

 

 

Yours faithfully,

 

xxxxxx

Hi

 

reading your thread as inspired to take action against First Direct.Like yourself I have never done anything like this before and am very nervous about starting it -but there seems to be alot of support on the website so I have decided to give it ago.

 

Goodluck with your claim

Letter back from Robert Kernaghan in response to my LBA, where he has "taken the opportunity to review your concerns" (yeah, right!!) dated 23rd June.

 

Plus.... the standard stuff........ does not agree.....overdraft fees.... leaflet for Ombudsman scheme.... blah...blah.

 

It's strange, because (thanks to this forum) I know whats coming before it arrives - and that gives me the confidence and nerve to carry on, whereas before I would probably have given up. My wife is still convinced that we will be the first people that First Direct actually defend in court and that we won't get any money back (a born worrier!) and I can see why so many people would be frightened and just give up.

 

Ok - I'm off to research what I do next regarding the moneyclaim and writing to the OFT. (haven't seen a template for OFT complaint yet - is there one on here?)

 

14 day deadline wil be up on 6th July. Watch this space! :)

Got a letter from the court yesterday (27th) stating that an "Acknowledgment of Service has been filed".

 

Defendant is now HSBC Bank Plc, rather than First Direct, and the solicitors are DG Solicitors (who are mentioned in other F/D posts).

 

They state they intend to "defend all of this claim", signed by Deborah D'Aubney, which is a bit scary, but seems to be the norm at this stage.

 

From what I can gather, they have 28 days now to file a defence, but from other posts on this subject, am I right to presume a letter will arrive from DG Solicitors within the next few days, possibly offering a part-payment?

 

I still find it hard to believe that I will get anything out of this - a "bad luck genie" has been sitting on my shoulders for years. If only I could knock the b*&^%$d off once and for all! Oh well, deep breath........:-)

Well this is the first time I have looked much at the FD forum but it seems you should be getting an offer soon. I can't believe how easily they seem to pay up. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

The Consumer Action Group is a free help site.

Should you be offered help that requires payment please report it to site team.

Dear Sir, Your Ref: DMD

Re: Myself -v- HSBC Bank plc

Thank you for your letter of 28th July offering payment of £1392.22 in full and final settlement of this matter.

 

Unfortunately, your offer is not satisfactory as it only represents half of the total amount being claimed.

 

I am prepared to accept this sum by means of a cheque made payable to myself, unconditionally, in part-settlement of my FULL claim of £2784.43.

 

However, I shall continue to proceed with my action to recover the remainder of my claim.

 

Yours faithfully...........

Letter from DG Solicitors dated 3rd Aug within 2 days offering FULL CLAIM!

 

They must have sent this same day as receiving my refusal of part-payment.

 

Whoop-de-b####y-dooby-dooby-whoop!!! ...............cartwheels round the dining room.............!

 

As you can guess, I'm ever so slightly chuffed! :)

 

Ok, letter to be sent back now accepting the claim, crossing out their "confidentiality" blurb, and asking for a personal cheque (bit hopeful on the last bit) - suspect they'll just knock it off what I owe, but I shan't argue about that so long as I get the money.

Once I have received the cheque I will discontinue my claim.

I'm not so sure that "discontinue" is the right term to use, how about "... I will consider the matter closed"?

 

Keith,

Or "when I have received the funds I will advise the Court that the case is settled"

 

Of course you can add. I have removed the confidentiality clause, however I am willing to enter into negotiations for a fee in relation to this if you wish to pursue this matter.

Egg Data Protection Act Statements arrived. On hold.

 

Halifax - Moneyclaim £3100

 

Amex to Remove Default - acknowledged didn't issue correct documents - default removed :) . £135 paid in full without Court

Thanks chaps! Glad I haven't put the stamps on the envelope yet!

 

Ok, now reads:

 

Dear Sir,

 

Your Ref: DMD

 

Re: Myself -v- HSBC Bank plc

 

Thank you for your letter of 3rd August offering payment of £2784.43 in full and final settlement of this matter.

 

I am prepared to accept this sum by means of a personal cheque made payable to myself, unconditionally, in full and final settlement of my claim.

 

When I have received the funds I will advise the Court that the case is settled and consider the matter closed.

 

Yours faithfully, blah, blah....

 

How's that?

Been working away from home all week. Got back yesterday to a couple of letters.

 

First one from DG Solicitors saying "Thank you for returning the settlement letter......... agreed sum will be credited by way of a cheque in the next day or so....."

 

Second one from First Direct, very short and sweet:

 

"Dear Mr Alasco,

 

Please find enclosed a cheque for £2784.43 as agreed.

 

Yours sincerely........."

 

:lol: :lol: :lol: So I WON!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

Now I have to cancel the Moneyclaim online. Can't find exact details on how to do this (despite searching the forums) but have sussed out that an email to them is all that is required. Am I correct??
