    • Perfect. Nice and brief and to the point. You don't bother to start telling your life story. Just the way it should be. Send it off. You have probably done enough reading to understand that it won't make any difference don't start drafting your particulars of claim. Open an account with the MoneyClaim County Court system and start preparing. Post your particulars of claim here before you click it off. You may have noticed that at some point you will be asked if you want to go to mediation on this. We used to advise it but now we recommend that you decline mediation and go to trial. Your chances of success are much better than 95%. Going to trial will incur an additional hearing fee but of course you will get that back. However if you go to mediation, they will simply try to penny pinch and to get you to compromise and also they will sign you up to a confidentiality agreement and probably threaten you if you breach it. Not only that, if the mediation fails because you stand your ground, it will add additional delay while they then give you a date to go to trial. The best thing to do is to decline mediation – prepare for court hearing. Pay the extra fee. The chances are that rather than get a judgement against them they will then offer you a full settlement rather than go to court. If they do offer you full settlement then you will be obliged to accept it – but that's what you want. If they don't offer you full settlement then you will go to trial and there will be a judgement against them. Just so that you understand, our first interest is that you get your money back – but a close second is that it does go to trial and there is a judgement which we will then be able to use to help other people. Anyway as you should realise, we will help you all the way.
    • I sent a parcel to Singapore but i spelt the address incorrecltly by 1 letter so the parcel couldnt be delivered and was returned back to the Uk but checking the tracking today the parcel had returned to the UK but is somehow on its way back to Singapore as the tracking says "Item leaving the UK"    Ive spoken ( tweeted) Royal Mail help who confirm that the parcel seems to be going back to Singapore and that if its not " Delivered" by the 29th of April theyll deem it as lost and will accept a claim but i cant remeber when booking what the compensation amount was but i dont think it covers the amount of the item.  As it was my fault that it wasnt delivered in the first place can i trey and claim the full amount back ? i think if i remember correctly it was £50 compensation but the item was £170 So the timeline is thus ...   22nd Of March .    Booked via P2G & dropped off a Post Office.  25th March arrives in Singapore and goes through customs ect ect 26th   Incorrect address and item is flagged as "return to sender" 28th Item leaves Overseas intenational processing centre 15th of April , Item is leaving the Uk (Again)   ?    
    • Post the NTK up here for the regulars to double-check. I highly doubt it's compliant with POFA though. Ignore the deforestation that comes unless it's ever a letter of claim. Any luck with the organ grinder?
    • Probably the case @lookinforinfo Also an update, I've got the registered keeper letter. Just to check that I continue to ignore it until PAP letter comes in?
    • Thanks very much Bank. I've now done a lot of reading and have drafted my Letter of Claim as attached. I look forward to your comments. 16Apr24 draft Letter of Claim against Parcel2Go.pdf16Apr24 draft Letter of Claim against Parcel2Go.pdf16Apr24 draft Letter of Claim against Parcel2Go.pdf

    • 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

 

I am new to all this so please bear with me.

 

We are financially struggling and although we have started the ball rolling with cccs but natwest are constantly bombarding us with charges. Today for example they have deducted around £182 of charges for unpaid direct debits for about £142!!! If they can take the charges surely they could have paid the direct debits?? The ironic thing is last month we went overdrawn and they paid a few direct debits but didnt charge us. They were however trying to get us to take a loan out which we would have been paying forever and really could not afford! We have since refused their loan. We are putting all our income into another account next pay day but have no idea what to do . .we think they have probably had around £3000 of charges over the last few years . .we are trying to get straight but now we have to still pay these bills!!

 

Any advice?

 

Ric and Julie

hi there and welcome,

it does seem a bit scary and we are in a similar position, its almost designed so that you never ger straight and you pay every month over the odds to try and get back on track, but you cant becuase you are always playing catch up, with less and less money.

I would suggest seeing how bad things are and if you really are struggling then get in touch with the national debt helpline and they will give you some sound advice on how/who to pay first.

as for the bank charges, try not to be too overwhelmed as the process is fairly srtaightforward, and you will get your money back. It just seems like a lot to do. everyone here is great and there is so much help.

good luck and take care, and remember its your money, get even !!

I can't believe how helpful you all are . thankyou so much.

 

We are seeking help with cccs who have set up a dmp but we just need to open a new account first.

 

It does seem so daunting but I can't help but wonder how much of our debt could have been avoided had these charges not been there!

 

Your advice is greatly appreciated!

ricnju,

i know that the charges on our account have heavily been to blame for the debts we have now. Good luck with the DMP, just make sure your not paying anyone to do it for you, National debtline do it for you for free.

 

take care and let us know how you get on x

Ok . .Just to update . .have opened another bank account and as soon as details are set will be sending the letter to the vultures telling them we want our money back!! In the meantime spending tons of time on this site so I get more confident and determined that we will get OUR money back!!

 

This site is amazing . . I am really believing we can do this, and I have told everyone I know (who are pretty much all being ripped off too) about this site!!

 

 

Thankyou xx

Another thing I just wanted to ask is that our account is an advantage gold. I have read somewhere about part of our charges being a bit of our advantage gold fee which i dont really understand . .we pay a fee monthly so had no idea this was so high. Am I right in thinking when we work out our charges we will need to deduct the fee off or have I got all confused again??

Basically you can claim back what is charges, you cant claim back what is a service, but you can but put it in your schedule of charges and await the banks reply, hope this helps. Many people are shocked at what they have payed over the years and this is the only time ive enjoyed seeing charges on my statements, good luck.

Hi Ric and Julie,

 

Nattie has posted a guide to Advantage Gold in this thread --->

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/natwest-bank/27521-advantage-gold-unarranged-borrowing.html

 

If you find yourself still stuck with separating the Adv Gold service fee from the total charge, don't worry; I'm sure Nattie will be along eventually and will help you sort that out.

 

This site is amazing . . I am really believing we can do this
Yes it is, (everyone is on your side here :) ), and yes, you can do this! I got an offer for full settlement today (£600); if I can win, so can you.

 

Best of luck.

 

OB :)
