    • My wife is the named person to his bank account with him having Dementia being his daughter (I say named person she still is but he recently passed away and the deputyship application has now being stopped by the solicitor as it's no longer needed) We've only just got the Death Certificate so the bank will be the next step informing them. She went to the bank and explained the situation but even being his named person the bank said she didn't have the power to stop DD without any legal documents (virgin money) was the bank. She could have copies of bank statements that was about it.

    • 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 BlueLoo

Just wait for your statements to arrive. Dont bother wasting your money ringing them unless of course your bored or have no friends to talk to (but im sure you have).

Send them the rejection letter here http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/25716-rejecting-offers.html and edit it to your own means. At least the woolwich know you want your money back so thats a result, you now just need to be determined and patient. :)

The timescale on their offer is, not worth the reading time, you want to know what they removed from your account, unlawfully, nothing more, nothing less. If what they offer is below that amount send the rejection letter and get on with reclaiming what is rightfully yours.

Hi e28

am I being naive? If we receive, like Bluelooby, an offer before our statements, should we all just assume that the amount being offered is way off what we are owed?

 

No not naive at all, but the woolwich would like to keep as much of your money as possible.

They are bound by the law to supply your statements within 40 days (they used to send offers out after the LBA letter, so perhaps by sending offers earlier they save money if you accept) so you are right to wait for them. :)

 

Assume they are way off, yes by at least 50%

 

AL:D

Woolies "aimed" to resolve by 30th (in response to my SAR request). Nothing through however the 40 days by my schedule isn't up for them til 4th April. I'm not going to bother giving them the +2 days for postage as they seem to draw theses things out at every stage so I'm sure my claim won't fail on a postage times technicality!

 

Will ring them on Monday morning to tell them they have til Wednesday for me to have received statements.

 

I suspect they really are swamped and likely have a backlog of work however this is not my problem and one on the easiest solutions for them is to start giving out no quibble full refunds upon written request.

 

This 40 days seems to have taken forever! :)

 

Welshcakes the timescales are there for a reason, that includes the post (2 days 1st class). Thats what the court recognise as resonable time for a letter to be recieved.

And dont phone Helen, Rob or whoever at the woolwich, write, send the letter recorded then you have a record of giving them ample opertunatey to supply your statements.

40 days is a long time but not in the timescale of the 6 years you could be trying to claim back.

Just to let you know i statred my woolies claim back in june 2006 it was finalised in Jan 2007 so it takes a while sticking to the timescales. Do it right not how you think it should or could be done:D .

Okey dokey, no phone calling for me, I guess I need to just keep a grip on my impatience!

 

I wonder how many bank responses to ICO DPA breaches claim that the statements were sent in time and blamed on thepostal service. Do you think the ICO would allow this as a valid excuse even when the bank can't prove sending (ie not sent recorded/registered)?

 

Hi Welshcakes,

I understand your impatience and they can say they sent the stuff the point is you have to prove you asked for it and with recorded delivery the PO give you a receipt so irrespective of what they say they should send your info (and if they say they have and the PO is losing them perhaps they should send them Registered or recorded).

 

AL:D
