    • sorry but that letter needs to be much much better. you need to express that it was a stilly youthful mistake trying to be the big man and jumping the turnstile to look big infront of your peers. TfL prosecutors are on the email address on their first letter. get the court form sent back to the court , (but copy it first) stating you plead guilty and wish to attend to address the judge in person face to face to show your genuine remorse for your stupid youthful exuberance.      
    • I thought I should send the begging letter to the prosecutor. Does the hearing means the time I need to send back by? If so, it’s June 5  I plan to send the new begging letter as following, can I ask for some suggestions? Dear Investigator/Prosecutor,  Thank you for your reply. I deeply regret my actions and the inconvenience they have caused.  I’m extremely remorseful for my crime. and regret it everyday. I often ask myself ‘’how can I do that thing just because I felt it is interesting. There are a lot of crimes in the world, but feeling it’s interesting is certainly not a reason to crime. I should not crime with any reason.’’ I think about these things every day, and I understand that I can’t blame anyone but myself.  I thanks to the staff who stopped me, as this is a valuable lesson in my life. I told myself that I should never ever repeat such a thing again, and never ever do anything which is possible to be in breach of any law. As a result, I carefully tap my oyster card every time before I enter the station now. I remind myself that I did a wrong thing before, and I should never let it happen again.  Although my monthly travel expenses do not warrant a season ticket, but I just renew my season ticket (please see the attachment). I understand that a crime cannot be truly compensated for, but purchasing a season ticket offers me a small measure of comfort, knowing that my actions caused a loss to the public interest.  I received an email which ask me to negotiate being class teacher in this summer (please see the attachment). I hope that I could teach the lovely students again, which may not be allowed with a criminal record. I would please ask that you would please provide me a single opportunity to settle all outstanding sums owed outside of court without the need for legal proceedings which would have a determinantal impact on my teaching career.  I sincerely apologise again for my crime. If you need anything further from me to help you please let me know.   Yours sincerely,
    • LoL Dx you crack me up. Thanks for the advice. I'll stay positive.
    • Utter Rubbish!! lowell dont write and beg for deals once they start court. as for your attitude, we'll thats nothing new for you.😎 you wont be quizzed, it's not like TV, simply refer to your defence/WS when answering anything the judge may ever ask. well it involves chickens. dx  
    • Thanks fk, I hope I don't have to face the court. Bless you for the reassurance.

    • 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,

 

i have just also started a claim against Nationwide, for unfair charges, of £2343.30. I have sent the Data Protection Act Disclosure Request, and recieved a speedy reply, from a Mr Gary Parkins,the Data Protection Administrator, stating that he acknowledged my request and would be sending me the infomation requested. A few days later, i recieved a bound volume of my last 6 years bank staements and the £10.00 cheque that i had sent for fees. They do not charge for this service i was told. I have now gone through my statements, and come to the amount stated above. But i am not sure, if i should be adding the interest, that is stated each month, under the Notice Of Charges page. Am a bit confused about the interest charges. I would be grateful for any advice. Hope to post Preliminary Letter as soon as i have sorted confusion about interest out.Will keep you all posted.Good luck to you all, with your claims. I am so angry about these charges, as i am a single parent with 2 children, struggling financiallly,and the bank, only made matters worse by taking these charges, and it had a terrible snowball effect.

Hi Cleopatra,

 

Go into Bank action group page and click on the Bank forum you wish to chat in i.e HSBC or Nationwide all the banks are listed in alphabetical order and then once in there at the top of the page on the left it says NEW THREAD. Click on that and it is straight forward from there. It will ask you for a title and you can put something like starting my claim or basically whatever it is you want to talk about and then write your message click submit and the bottom of the page and other members will answer your questions.

 

Good Luck

Hi Guys,

 

Received my Statements today and have worked out my charges to be about 3,800!!!!

Please help, I am starting to panic now as reading through the forums Nationwide look like b-----ds who are probably going to take me to court!:o

I have read the FAQ's and am still VERY confused. The FAQ's says you can claim daily interest at a rate of 8% and then shows you how to work out what your interest would be on the amount you are claiming back BUT on my statements of charges there is sometimes an Interest Charge underneath the charges!! This is what I want to know if I can include in my claim as sometimes this amopunt is quite high.

 

Thanks a very confused Juicy

If you don't have an overdraft on your account, then the interest that is displayed on your statements you can add to the amount of charges you are claiming back from the Alliance & Leicester. In the preliminary letter look for the paragraph that says:

I calculate that you have taken £[total sum of charges], plus £[total sum of interest displayed on your statement] which you have charged me in overdraft interest for the sum which you have taken. Total £[total sum of charges and interest]

If however you have an arranged overdraft on your account, then things are not that simple as you would need to calculate the difference between the interest charged on your authorised overdraft and the interest charged on your unauthorised overdraft.

 

Most people with an overdraft don't usually bother, as it is time consuming, complicated and doesn't add up to that much anyway. Also, people often take the view that the Bank can keep the interest as a "compensation" for them having incurred the charge in the first place.

 

If you do have an overdraft on which you are charged interest, then you would need to know the rate at which you were charged interest, on the amount that you had gone overdrawn by on your overdraft. That amount of interest would have been variable and the only way to find out what the rate is would be to ask your bank.

 

With regards to the 8% interest, this is added once you decide to submit a claim via the small claims court. You must use the spreadsheet in the library as it calculates interest from the date the charge was made to your account. This means that a charge of £39 made in August 2000 will attract more interest than a charge of £39 that was applied to your account in February 2006.

 

So in a nutshell there are 2 types of interest that you can claim

 

1) The interest charged if your account goes overdrawn and you have no agreed overdraft - or if you have an agreed overdraft, then it would be the interest charged on the amount that exceeded your agreed overdraft.

 

2) The 8% interest you are entitled to when you submit a claim.

 

Does this help to clear things up for you?

Hi Guys,

 

Been away for a few days, just got home and had received a letter from a Jason Johnson saying that my letter of 22/5/06 (My prelim) has been passed to Sarah Watson to investigate and respond.

 

It says she will send me a FULL RESPONSE by the 9th June, but my 14 day deadline was yesterday the 5th!!

 

What shall I do? Shall I wait to hear or just go straight ahead and send my LBA??

 

Please help, getting a bit scared as they are probably going to take me to court!!
