    • It’s all unsecured loans and credit cards. Mainly loans now though as most credit cards are paid off.   so 95% unsecured loans.   I just don’t know my situation job wise it’s almost impossible to say whether it’s likely or not just don’t want to be caught out by it. My mental health trying to pay this off has taken a huge hit also if I’m being honest. I feel like mentally I need some kind of respite and the credit file cost is something I can accept also. 
    • Depends on whether part of the roof needs to be replaced and whether it is a standard roof type,  but the works should only take a day or two. Someone I know had a whole semi-detached roof replaced in about 12 hours. Suggest you put it in writing to the business about the issues you mention in your post.  Also as business premises, you could also apply pressure by contacting local Council if necessary. 
    • Thank goodness it's not your roof and you get to foot the bill! How big are these bits of mortar? How often are they falling into your garden? Hourly, daily? Just go ahead with your plans, of course, they're not going to be worried by your time pressures and the urgency of the situation, so simply carry on as you would have done and I'm sure everything will go fine. Unless there is a danger to life and serious structural issues which mean you cannot venture into your garden, then IMHO there is little more you can do less for what you have done so already and made them aware of the issue.
    • Hi all!   Thank you in advance for any help you can give me!!    I parked up (at 18:08) in a rush, entered my Reg and paid for an hour of parking. At 18:20 I got a ticket for not paying for parking.    I've just looked at my receipt and noticed why ... I put "22" instead of "21"  when i put in my Reg. yes... what a stupid mistake.    I seem to remember there being a court case or a rule change about entering the wrong reg but the company wasn't at a loss because i had paid for the parking just technically for the wrong car. Am i making that up?    Any advice would be gratefully received, even some key points i have to hit when doing the appeal      
    • You haven't returned to the thread to give us your views, but a couple of other things strike me which you should consider: 1. You say that at no time was your father's licence revoked by the DVLA. It didn't have to be revoked. It expired in September and his "entitlement to drive" (of which the licence provides proof) expired along with it. He could only continue driving whilst his application was being processed by virtue of s88, and it seems clear to me (based on what you have said) that he was not able to take advantage of the benefits provided by that section. 2. The letter he received threatening to revoke his licence was probably a template letter sent when any medical issues are brought to the attention of the DVLA. But it is clear that beyond September until it was eventually renewed, your father had no valid licence to be revoked. I believe a "not guilty" plea in court will fail. The basic facts are that your father's licence expired in September, it was not renewed until February because the DVLA were looking into his medical declaration and he could not take advantage of s88. So in December he had no licence and no entitlement to drive under s88. The facts that he believed he was fit to drive and that his licence was eventually renewed may mitigate the offence but they do not provide a defence. I also asked whether he had received a summons (very unusual these days) or whether he had received a "Single Justice Procedure Notice". The way to proceed from here differs slightly depending on what he has received so if you let me know, I'll advise further.

    • 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 Bill,

Quick question. If i don't fill out the interest part of the spreadsheets does it matter? I know it will probably mean a lower claim but would this go against me? Its just i'm not 100% sure how to fill it in. :(

 

Regards,

 

Rob

You don't have to claim interest if you don't want to, but the sheet will automatically fill out the contractual or statutory interest anyway. You just need to punch in the annual rate.

Sooo i now have a Q ... On the months where there are no charges I take it a line should read like this ...

 

Transaction date (date interest was added)

Charge reason (blank as there was no charge)

Penalty charged - zero

Interest charged - interest amount on that statement

Statement balance - closing balance on that statement

Amount Paid - Monies sent that month

 

Oh the fun we have ........... :D

That looks right to me, Chez. FWIW, I'm only just learning about this, as I haven't claimed bank interest charged in my claims at all !!

 

RedSonja - use #16 for credit cards.

As long as you haven't filed at court, then why not, Chezt ? It might be better to re-send the whole LBA and start again from there.

Bill is there a simple Excel spreadie somewhere which simply calculates compound interest? Or ideally one which calculates 8% uncompounded court rate and 2 different compounded rates? Many thanks

 

Is it for a bank account or a credit card?

what is the difference? when it comes to calculating compound interest

 

The spreadies are different! The vamps google chambers are closed ATM but you can use Mindzais for a ban account & I think the 'bonus' with that one is that it calculates the 8% stat (none compounded) on a seperate page ... so all in one place IYKWIM.

 

Here is the link ...

 

Download v1.9 Mindzai's spreadsheet for compound contractual interest and statutory interest. [Excel 97-07, OpenOffice 2] Please ask any questions here.

 

Hope this helps? :)

Mark - Firstly my apologies for not getting back to you earlier. I believe you were wanting a spready with 2 contractual rates and 1 statutory rate. Been a bit overloaded lately, but I can send you one. I'll PM you later. Meanwhile, what Chez says is correct...

 

Mindzai's sheet shows one compound rate, and one simple rate of interest.

 

The difference between curent account & credit card sheets is purely in the way that interest charged by the bank is calculated. If you are just claiming penalties plus interest on those, then you can in fact use either type of sheet.

 

If you are claiming back the interest originally charged on those penalties, then that is where you need the correct sheet, as the method of charging this interest is different for either type of account.

Bill can I just check I'm reading this right ..

 

 

The difference between curent account & credit card sheets is purely in the way that interest charged by the bank is calculated. If you are just claiming penalties plus interest on those, then you can in fact use either type of sheet.

By this you mean claiming back the charges + contractual interest only (ie charging the bank for having your money)

 

If you are claiming back the interest originally charged on those penalties, then that is where you need the correct sheet, as the method of charging this interest is different for either type of account.
And this is claiming the charges + the interest you have paid (that the bank charged you) on them + contractual interest (ie charging the bank for having your money)

The difference between curent account & credit card sheets is purely in the way that interest charged by the bank is calculated. If you are just claiming penalties plus interest on those, then you can in fact use either type of sheet.

The above refers to the columns on the left-hand side. The original penalty charges, and the conractual interest which we are about to charge the bank on these.

If you are claiming back the interest originally charged on those penalties, then that is where you need the correct sheet, as the method of charging this interest is different for either type of account.

This refers to the rest of the columns on the right-hand side. This is interest which the bank actually charged us originally, and is calculated in the spready by determining what portion of the monthly interest charged was actually due to the penalty charges. This is done differently for credit cards, and current accounts, and needs different spreadsheets.

Blinkin' ada. I did look at that link chezt and downloaded the '16 contractual' sheet for my creditcard but now I appear to be uncontrollably vomiting... :oops:

 

Can I ask:

1) The 'Interest charged' column is that the total interest charged for that month on the whole balance? i.e. purchases+bal transfers+cash withdrawals?

2) Statement balance column - is this the balance quoted on that months statement i.e. for February it could be the same for 4 different charges or do you have to calculate the new balance after each charge is taken off?

3) Amount of balance paid in subsequent month: I'm not sure what this means? It's extra confusing as a given statement has transactions for last months on it as well. Is this 0 if you missed a payment in that month?

 

Either I'm completely mad or this isn't straight forward at all? :???:

 

Sorry I know I keep asking but is there a rough estimate on how long the new sheet will take to be available that Vampiress is working on? I'd hate to struggle on if there's something easier to use in a few days time.

Is it ok to use a manual spread sheet and use the calculator on the site to run an ongoing total?

Hard work, and I'm not even sure the calculator is working ATM, but this should be OK. Post up a couple of your lines here for someone to check.

I've PM'd you re: OpenOffice.

It's the entire remaining balance due on that statement.

That's right - it is the payment you made (if any) following the above statement.

Either I'm completely mad or this isn't straight forward at all? :???:

Once you've done one line on your spready, it's easy-peasy after that. You are probably mad at present, but your sanity will return to you in time !! :-D

Ok another one for you:

 

The column 'Estimated average overdrawn balance during period of interest'

 

For this example:

29 JAN PAID IN +90.00 Balance: -1159.15

30 JAN INTEREST -14.11

30 JAN ATM CASH -50.00 Balance: -1223.26

 

What do I put down? 1223.26 overdrawn or 1209.15 which is the previous figure with the interest deducted?

 

Sorry if this is obvious but I don't want to make any further mistakes :)

Oh this has been discussed soooooooo many times! You are 'supposed' to take an edjucated guess at the average of all the balances throughout the month/period in question .... Personally I couldn't be chuffed or work it out very well so i just used the balance on the last date of the date range the interest was calculated ... now this is the wrong thing to do but TBH it doesn't make that much difference to your claim & my theory is that if it is so incorrect then basically it's up to the bank to say otherwise .... in the words of Vamp (& many others)

 

'the argument is actually stronger than the calculation!'

As I say, this isn't the right way to do it but it's what I do rather than spending hours pondering over it & what others have done also .... It's up to you which you chose to do

Ok another one for you:

 

The column 'Estimated average overdrawn balance during period of interest'

Take it a piece at a time !!

During period of interest: during the period covered by the statement, or over which the interest was being charged.

Overdrawn balance: The amount by which your account was overdrawn. If the account was in credit, then there was NO overdrawn balance, and in that case leave the cell blank or put 0.

Estimated: this is an approximation, a reasonable attempt or guess will do - as long as it's reasonable.

Average: If the balance throughout the period covered by that statement hovered around £1100 to £1200, then bung in £1150. If it went from £200 to £1200, then bung in £700. Get the idea ?

just a decent guess.

For this example:

29 JAN PAID IN +90.00 Balance: -1159.15

30 JAN INTEREST -14.11

30 JAN ATM CASH -50.00 Balance: -1223.26

 

What do I put down? 1223.26 overdrawn or 1209.15 which is the previous figure with the interest deducted?

The balance went from 1223 to 1209, so I would suggest say, 1200 or 1210 would be fine.

Sorry if this is obvious but I don't want to make any further mistakes :)

If it wasn't obvious to you, then don't apologise for asking !!! Other people watching this might be too scared to ask, and now they've got their answer !!! (Ihope !!! :-D )

'Interesting' ;):D

 

Ok, thanks for all replies - maybe the sheet should incorporate this info as tbh the first time I saw it I was completely confused and didnt bother with it...

 

Ended up using the simple sheet then as I read more tried to edit it to show contractual interest which ended in disaster as Bill knows lol

 

Hopefully on my way now...
