    • An update! I emailed both Andrzej.Tuleja and James_Goldsmith at Whirlpool dot com. I got a phone call from their executive team a couple of days later, and a replacement part dropped on the mat a week after. She was quite apologetic, however, also reiterated the "90 day warranty" period on customer fitted parts, and did not comment when I mentioned that the CRA also applies as I was a consumer buying from them directly. So I now have a spare door switch if the machine decides to eat another in the future! Cheers all!   Note dx100 that the "Hotpoint CEO" you linked to is not related to the hotpoint appliances, but some kind of marketing app.
    • yep, throw that morality card out the window....9/10 you never owe a DCA ANYTHING!! they are NOT BAILIFFS!!
    • (See the link to DVLA’s INF188/6 document I posted above, page 4 as cited) “I have a new medical condition that I have told the DVLA about on my recent application. Can I drive? As soon as the DVLA receives your correct and complete application for a new licence and as long as you meet all the Section 88 criteria, you may drive. It is important that you are satisfied that the medical condition you have declared on your application does not stop you from driving. If you are unsure, check with your doctor or healthcare professional before you make a decision. You can also look up your condition in the ‘Assessing fitness to drive’ guide, which you can find at www.gov.uk/dvla/fitnesstodrive to see whether you meet the medical standards for driving. As this guide is intended for healthcare professionals, it can be complicated. Your doctor or healthcare professional should be able to help you if necessary." It seems that DVLA think that S.88 does apply for applications disclosing a new medical condition after all. Why might this be so, and what of “qualifying application" and "relevant disability"? S. 92(1) imposes on the driver a requirement to disclose a relevant disability. S.92(3) requires the Secretary of State to refuse such an application disclosing a relevant disability ….. EXCEPT S.92(4) requires the Secretary of State to grant such an application if the relevant disability is “adequately controlled”. Hence my belief S.88 can apply for medical conditions (if the driver meets the medical standard of fitness to drive) as the application remains a qualifying application IF the driver meets the medical standard of fitness to drive, until DVLA (on behalf of the Secretary of State) say it doesn’t, provided the driver believes they meet the (medical) standard. Additionally, at (or before) June 2013 (as noted in my previous post) the medical standard for fitness to drive for conditions involving excessive daytime sleepiness was changed from “completely controlled” to "adequately controlled".

    • 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 this site and just about to start action against MBNA and First Direct. I have been reading the posts and the FAQs and am now starting to get the paperwork together to make claims.

 

However, I cannot open/download the spreadsheets in any format - when i try to open them from the link in the library, i get "the page cannot be displayed", when I try to save them prior to opening , I get " The site was not found, check the address and try again.

 

The address the link is showing is http://www.cag-images.co.uk/a/barracad/Spreadsheets/England/Complex-bank-charges-calc.xls

 

Is there a problem at your end or mine?

Quick question before I send off my prelim letter. On the spreadsheet, below name and account number etc. there is a yellow box which says "date" and "rate 8%". Do I delete the "rate 8%" bit or leave it on ?

Bit confused as we are told not to mention the 8% interest bit at this stage. If anyone can put me straight on this, I would be most grateful,

Thanks,

Sazafraz.

Don't worry. The auto message was set up because the links were put on the site. Now the site's links are broken we're reverting to old methods. All this is driving me mental.

 

I'm at work, but when I get home I'll log into the Vamp gmail and sort it all out, including amending the auto response. Luckily my daughter's away from home on holiday so I've a little more free time. Unfortunately I keep trying to fill it up with a social life. Lol. ;) Please bear with me.

Make a copy of your spreadsheet and delete anything that involves the 8%, including the calculations. This should just leave you with a list of charges totalling your total claim.

 

When it comes to raising your court claim, use your original spreadsheet that has the 8%.

 

Good luck. x

Ron, I'm still looking into this. I need time to play with some figures and see what's going on. I didn't create the online calculator so am not completely positive about the calculations in it, and don't yet know how to check it. I've asked another mod to help yesterday, but everyone seems pretty busy at the moment.

 

My gut feeling is a rounding problem as it's not a large difference, but it still seems too large a difference to me to be simply that.

 

I don't think you need to worry and can press on in the meantime. Thanks for pointing it out and I'll try to get it sorted as soon as I get chance.

Can someone please email me the England basic excel spreadsheet urgently to [email protected] thank you.

Have you tried downloading it from the Bank Templates Forum? I'm at work at the moment and out this evening, but am hoping someone else may be able to check the Vamp gmail. I'm not available tomorrow, so it may end up being Friday, unless someone else can help.

Ok I need a little advice here please.:D

 

I've totalled my interest charged & it comes to £114.55, I am aware that not all of this interest was due to the overdraft fees so I need to use the spread sheet to work out how much to claim.

 

This is where I need a little help please.

 

In columns G,H & I, I'm not sure what dates to put?

 

For example on my statement the interest date is 29 may 03 but it says "interest to 07 may 03" Do I use the date as shown on the statement or the date that the interest is for?

 

Also For column I "account balance at date of interest" do I have to look back to 07 may 03 & put the account balance for that date or the account balance on 29 may 03 when the interest was deducted?

 

I hope this makes sence, please help.

 

Thank you.

Hi,

 

This is all in the notes on the front sheet of the spreadsheet. The date is a very grey area, and often it's just best to use your own judgement here.

I was sent the simpel version of the Open Ofice spraedsheet, but it does'nt calcluate the proper intrest. Can you send me the advancd version fo Open Ofice please?

Can you please tell us why you think it doesn't work? If it is a few pence different to another spreadsheet then it could just be the calculation. There is no advanced Open Office version yet that I'm aware of.

Patience is my strong point:D

 

I needed another simple excel one downloaded as you will notice on the sheet I've sent you there are some gaps.

 

Could download them the other day, but now it won't let me sad-smiley-034.gif.

 

Can you send me one of each please (Simple and Advanced English version) to my email address which you should be able to reply to with the email with the spreadsheet I've just sent you.

 

Thanks again

Sorry, I wans't very clear. It is'nt calcluating the intrest on the overdrught. It calcluates the 8% intrest okay. Is there a spraedsheet that calcluates overdraught intrest for Open Ofice? Thanks.
