    • I contacted Sanctury housing in August 2023 after informing them my father in law who had Dementia had moved into a Nursing home December 2022. We kept the flat for 8 months until such a time we could accomodate some of his furniture that my wife wanted to keep. I contacted them in August 2023 to let them know the situation by email as I was the named person that could speak on his behalf. I informed them that we had left it to late for POT and were seeing a solicitor for Deputyship of his financies. I asked them what information would they need in order to give notice on the flat and we could provide details of his condition and nursing home. This went ignored I left it a month and then called them October 2023. I was promised a call back from a manager over the next few days. This never happened and it was end of November when I contacted them again and they had no record of me calling them. I explained the email and again I was told the local manager to the area would call me. This never happened and I ended up emailing them in January 2024 with a copy of the email from August. Again this went ignored and I had explained to them that we couldn't just go to the bank and stop the DD as we had tried. This email again went ignored. I then had a letter written to our home address in February asking us to get in contact with them (local manager) as they were concerend nobody was living in the flat. He had an email address so I copied in the last 2 emails to say I had been trying to give notice since August 2023. I also stated that I would like the rent that was paid from August 2023 refunded back to his account as I had officially tried to give notice then and it went ignored. He replied to us about wanting to look at the flat then notice could be given once he had contacted the nursing home to confirm he was actually living there now. Notice was giving for the 22 March 2024 and this would be when rent would stop and no further payment would be taken by this point. The fact I asked to be back dated went ignored. I have since noticed on 2 banks statement for April and May that they are still taking Rent payments of £501 from his bank. Further to this which seems very strange. He was with Eon Next for his utility bill again we were having problems getting this stopped as they needed a named person on his account which there wasn't one despite me managing his online account for him. I didn't check the email address that often that I used to set it up and went to check as noticed the credit he had built up with not living there was all getting refunded in February. The email said £600 would be refunded to his account with a (sorry you are leaving us message) but how can he leave as nobody but himself had access to speak with them. I also noticed the lady in the flat above him had a letter from her bank sent to his address with his address details but his name which was dated 4th March well before we had given notice and it said (thank you for giving us your new address details) we have set all this up for your account.   So Sanctuary housing must have been aware he wasn't living there from the ignored emails for the lady above to start changing address details to move into his flat before the housing manager had even got in contact to ask if anyone was living there. What I basically want to know his do we have any legal standing to claim the rent back from when I first contacted them in August 2023? There is roughly £3000 to come back

    • 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 there guys

 

After reading this website it;s given me an inner strenght to fight my battle with the bank!!

 

I sent my data request letter off on 02/02/07, they banked my £10 cheque on the 13/02, so far have had no response to my request, I know the 40 days isnt; up but I thought I'd call them today just as a chaser.....guess what no record of the request for statements on my account. So I politely stated that they had banked the cheque so had definately received my request. I should now receive my statements in the next 7 days......so frustrating!!!!!

 

Anyway I'll keep you posted but I'm prepared to go all the way with this one.......GIRL POWER!!!!

Hi all

 

Just thought I'd update you on my trials and tribulations regarding the Halifax.

 

Sent my SAR to them on 1st Feb along with my £10 cheque, they banked the cheque on 12th Feb, I then phoned them on 22nd Feb to chase statements and they had no record of my request for statements.....taken my money quick enough though......apparently I should get them in 7 days.......clock is ticking so we'll see.

Hi guys

 

Just phoned the HALICRAP TO make sure statements are on the way and yes they have been ordered on Monday 26th Feb so they should be with me by the end of the week, should make for some interesting weekend reading!!

 

Spoke to a lovely lady on the phone who actually agreed with the claims being made so that was a refreshing change.

 

Keep going everyone!!!!:p

Hi Everyone.

 

I received my statements yesterday, 30 days after sending off SAR and discovered they've charged me £1301 over the last 6 years, a nice tidy sum which I'm sure will be put to good use.

 

So today I have sent my letters off to Halifax, first class signed delivery, so they will be with them tomorrow......oooohhhhh it's so exciting but very scary at the same time but I'vr started so I'm going to finish!!!!

 

Keep you posted

xxxx:)

Hi Guys

 

Just a quickie as I'm absolutely astonished by this!!!

 

My auntie & unc have just had their charges repaid by Natwest who kindly sent them a letter basically saying that they did not agree with their claim but as a gesture of goodwill they were going to repay the charges in full, however (and this is the best bit) their charges were being increased from £30 to £38!!!!!

 

I'm absolutely appalled that the banks think they can increase their charges when the OFT are going to decide in April that banks should be lowering their charges.

 

Should my auntie & unc send this letter to the OFT or the ombudsmen to complain about the bank???

 

Sorry this has nothing to do with the Halifax but is this going to be the banks next trick to get back the money they are paying out in claims?????

Hi guys

 

It's so good to read on this website that more and more of us are taking on the banks and winning....gives us all hope!!!!

 

Anyway I sent off my prelim letter on the 06th March, had the usual response 'We are sorry to hear of your complaint blah blah blah etc etc etc' Well tomorrow they are going to get my LBA.

 

I'm thinking that once the next 14 days are up I'm going to give them a call and warn them of the impending court action and ask if they will settle before it has to go to court as I'll be saving them just shy of £500 in interest and court costs, it would be nice to get the extra money out of them but it could drag on and I would like the money sooner rather than later.

 

Does anybody have any advice on taking this route???

 

Ta guys

Well blow me down with a feather!!!

 

Sent in my LBA yesterday to Halifax, have received a call this morning offering me half the amount I'm claiming, I of course rejected and requested the full amount. Was put on hold for a few moments then they came back with the full offer......£1301.....YYYIIIIPPPPEEEEEE!!!!

 

This is my story:

 

1st Feb - Sent in SAR

5th Mar - Received statements

6th Mar - Sent in Prelim letter

21st Mar - Sent in LBA

22nd Mar - SETTLEMENT IN FULL:D

Keep going everybody you will get there in the end.

Thank you Wildheart 83, I was soooo shocked that they called me this morning as they only received my LBA today. I think the Whistleblower on TV last night didn't really help the banks in their claims that their charges are fair but it's all good news for the consumers.

 

Keep going you will get your money back.

Well done Powell2619, thats great news. Did they put the money straight into your account, or are they dragging there feet in paying up?

 

Am currently taking on HBOS with 2 accounts just now. My LBA expires on Wednesday the 25th of April and ive still had no contact from the bank. Looks like I will have to file for court which I didnt wont to do:( I am claiming back £2228.00 on this account.

 

My other account is for a much smaller claim just now.Basicaly bank charges caused me to go overdrawn so am claiming back one years charges at the moment to clear the overdraft and once that is sorted I will then send of for my statements and get the other 5 years worth of charges. The prelim expires for this on the 30th of April.

 

Am thinking about phoning customer services on Monday about my larger claim, to try and convince them that they should settle now to save the bank money. But my experience so far with this department has not been very pleasant.

 

Anyway well done to everyone who is standing up to the banks, its fantastic to see the banks finaly getting what they deserve!!! Cant imagine the bank managers getting much of a bonus this year hehe:-D

Hi 120805

 

They paid the money into my account on the Easter Bank holiday monday, they said it would be within 14 days and I got it on the 13th day!!!

 

It was all really easy for me although I think I've just been mega lucky, my poor brother is going all the way to court with his bank.

 

Anyway good luck and keep fighting.

xx
