    • I'm not sure we were on standard tariffs - I've uploaded as many proofs as I can for the ombudsman - ovo called last night uping the compensation to 100 from 50 pounds for the slip in customer service however they won't acknowledge the the problem them not acknowledging a fault has caused nor are they willing to remedy anything as they won't accept the meter or formula was wrong.   I'd appreciate more details on the economy 7 approach and I'll update the ombudsman with any information you can share. 
    • To re-iterate and highlight my urgent question on this one: The N24 from the court did not include any instructions to submit paperwork 28 days before the date, unlike the N157 received for other smaller claims. Do I have to submit a WS for this court date? Link has!...
    • No, reading the guidance online it says to wait for a letter from the court. Should I wait or submit the directions? BTW, I assume that the directions are a longer version of the particular of claim accompanied by evidence, correct?
    • Thanks for opening, it's been another rough year for my family and I've procastinated a little.. Due to the age of my defaults on this and other accounts (circa 2021), I really need to avoid a CCJ as that will be another 6 years of credit issues. Mediation failed as I played the 'not enough info to make a decision' however during the call for some reason they did offer settlement at 80%, I refused. this has been allocated to small claims track, court date is June 3 and I've received their WS. I'm starting on my WS. They do appear to have provided everything required of them (even if docs could be reconstructions). Not really sure what my argument is anymore but I do want to attend court and see this through. Should a judgement be made against me then I will clear the balance within 30 days and have the CCJ removed - this is still possible isn't it? I'm going to be reading up today and tomorrow and hope you can provide me some guidance in the meantime. Wonder what your advice would be given the documents they have provided? I am now in a position to clear the debt either by lump sum or a few large installments - Is this something i should look into at this late stage? Thanks as always in advance
    • I have now received my SAR. It includes a great deal of information! Is there a time limit on how long account information is kept and/or can be provided to debtors? I have received many account statements which were not previously sent to me. I remember that the creditor should provide explanations of any acronyms and abbreviations that maybe used in the documents. Is this still the case? Also what, if any, are the regulations in regard to adding fees to a debt? Can fees be added to a debt after the court has approved a charge on a property. Perhaps due to the numerous owners of the debt, many payments I made were not properly recorded on the account, some were entered over a year after the payment was made! Following the Legal Charge, I paid every month until my payments were refused. I am trying to compute the over payments, but the addition of fees etc. is confusing me. Any comments and/or help would be appreciated.

    • 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.

Hello Everyone!

 

Well I've been reading over you website the last while and have decided to push ahead with getting back the money that was deducted from my Nationwide Acc's unfairly.

 

Acc. 1: I have had this account over 7 years and will send a letter today to recieve all the statements for the alst 6 years. ( I called a branch today and they were going to charge me five pounds PER STATEMENT! £360??? Aye right :rolleyes: ). Charges on this account in the last 2 1/2 years amount to £380. It's likely they've taken over £700 on this account. They will be recieving this letter S.A.R.:

 

[edit]

 

Acc. 2: This I've had for less than one year but has an overdraft and I've been charged on missed direct debits and overdraft fees. I will be sending the Prelim letter as I know how much I have been charged.

[edit]

 

These letters will be posted today. I hope that they are all o.k. :confused:

I've just got mail back from Nationwide and it is not what I was expecting to say the least.

 

They have issued a default notice on my account in which I am required to (a) repay overdraft in full

(b) ro reture all cheques, quarantee cards & flexaccount cards

 

before 29th May.

 

What the hell? Has this back fired on me badly...

Hello wollygoggles!

It would seem that U have now found out that Nationwide takes things rather personally doesn't it?

Now would be the ideal time to open a 'parachute' current account elsewhere.

If U are financially able, I would also recommend that U clear the outstanding O/D asap.

An O/D is always payable on demand, although there is an argument against, if it's mainly made up of unlawful Penalty Charges.

The recalling of the O/D could also be viewed as retilatory action for U daring to reclaim YOUR money.

Was the Default Notice Letter just threatening U that one would be issued on 29/05/07??

...Or was it saying that one would be placed with a CRA straight away??

I personally, would double check my Credit Reports, just to make sure.

Here's a link to the Experian website:

https://www.creditexpert.co.uk/

 

When I next sent my LBA, I would include, in a condition of Full Settlement, that any Default Notices imposed, were removed 1st.

Hope the above has helped?!...:)

just read through whats happened, nasty nasty tactics eh!

i opened a parachute account at nat west easily, its a step account and you only need to show utility bill and passport or driving licence, or 2 bank statements if you are able.. once you open this account and start using it they are encouraging you to upgrade account to one with cheque book etc. it was really easy to open took bout 10 mins they were very helpful and didnt ask too many questions if you know what i mean. within a week i got pin number to hole in the wall card..so all sorted..

pay back the overdraft and then get back wots rightfully yours!!

The reason they have issued the notice is that there charges have brought me over the overdraft limit. I have a limit of £580 and it is sitting at £800, but if they hadn't applied the charges it would be sitting at £480, therefore it is because of these charges that I am over the limit.

 

I will be calling them today to see if they have recieved my letter requesting the charges be returned. If they say they have not I may have to step things up a gear.

 

I will be following MilkTrayMans suggestions. I'll keep you all updated.

From checking online it appears that today they have closed my account (which is ****ing stupid because I was being paid £1500 today into that account)

 

They have denied receiving my original letter requesting return of charges.

 

 

Do I proceed with going to court now? Where do I stand legally.

 

P.S. I have a second (parachute) account opened.

I called at 9:00 and it had not been closed. It had been flagged so that no funds could be withdrawn but since the payment of £1500 has been recieved they have removed the flag on the account.

 

Should I still go ahead with the 14 day until court action letter?

I will post that today then, thanks lori1.

 

I suppose I should kill two birds with the one stone.

 

What do I do about my other account. I sent a data protection letter because I didn't know the full charges as the account is 7 years old as opposed to the other which is less than a year old

 

I sent the £10 cheque (which hasn't been withdrawn) and the SAR letter. This was in the same letter as the other account.

 

I can't give them a 14 days until action on this account without knowing how much I'm owed, can I?

 

I called the nationwide and was told they can only give the last 27mths charges over the phone? I need the last 5 years (scotland). :(

no wolly, some people do estimate their charges but i would advise you wait until you receive your statements, it is worth calling the member services department as this is what i had to do they should be able to tell you how much longer you will have to wait for your statements.x

If U can manage NOT to go O/D before 29/05/07, then Nationwide have no justification to issue a Default Notice on that date, do they?!

 

In the meantime U can either press ahead Claiming for each of your accounts separately, or wait until U have ALL the details U need on both accounts and submit an overall Claim.

 

Personally, I would be tempted to do the former (...practice makes perfect + all that!...lol...:) ).

Yeah, I'm going ahead with the former.

 

I've sent by special delivery this time, because I didn't have the funds last time, and now I know that they recieved my LBA on one account and second S.A.R. form (+ £10 cheque just incase) on the other :D

Well, I've recieved the fob off letter today.

 

"Thank you for your recent letters about charges incurred...feedback from our members is absolutely invaluable...we're sorry we can't agree to your charges being refunded."

 

Do I still have to wait the full 14 days before taking court action or can I start that today?

Wolly

 

The timetable is

  1. Prelim letter - wait 14 days
  2. LBA - wait 14 days

If no offer of full payment then file court papers. Don't file in less time than this, or they can claim that you haven't given them reasonable notice.

 

Don't let them delay or distract you from the timetable or the full amount of the claim.

 

best of luck:D

O.K.

 

The deadline has passed so I will be filling the court application form.

 

I have an agreed overdraft of £580 and bank charges brought me over this. Had I not recieved these charges my account would have been -£480. Within the agreed amount.

 

Today I got a letter:

Having reviewed your account, I regret that we'll no longer be able to offer you an overdraft facility because you have exceeded your overdraft limit without authorisation.

 

Your overdraft will expire on 30th May 2007. Please ensure your account is brought into credit by this date.

 

Can I contest this in court? Had it not been for these overdraft charges I would not have gone over the agreed amount.

 

My account is currently at -£250

 

Help very much appreciated :(

I can't help with this, but I can share my own experience.

 

I run a permanently high OD (1500) close to the limit. However, I am very careful now never to exceed this, plus I pay a large salary in every month. For these reasons, it seems, I fare better than others and I have had no threats yet to reduce or scrap my OD. When I received my fob off letter, it was also different from some - less threatening and condescending.

 

It appears that there (at least) 2 'classes' of customer here, and I'm in the top one:D

 

I hope someone else can advise who is in your position.
