    • old and new threads merged i though you were going to send the SB letter in 2017? dx  
    • dunno you've not scanned up what you've had before how can we tell?  
    • Today , after a lot of years i received a letter from this lot. Very friendly, "Were writing to remind you that we haven't had any contact from you in a while".  The velvet fist, followed by  a veiled threat to get their preferred debt collectors involved. Yep dead right. In 1992/3 I took out a Student load under duress from DHSS. up to 2000 I had successfully gotten deferment on low income. But rather than sign on as unemployed ,I decided to be self employed. I applied and they asked for all sorts of documents. I obliged and then correspondence ceased from them, circa 2001. To date I have had no correspondence from Student Loans. I was made redundant in 2009 and reached 65 in 2012 , at which age the loan should have been cancelled. Now , today, 12 years on retirement and 11 ( at least years after last contact) I get a letter with veiled threats. Do I , as I smell a scam a) ignore it and hope that Erudio will think that this phishing attempt has failed or b) respond with a statute barred letter or c) remind them of legal terms that loan should be cancelled 12 years ago or d) combination of b) +c)      
    • But I'm not mixing and matching. Sure, when researching I do check multiple avenues, but when speaking, I will open a single post. The Fb post was made in March, it is now June, time has passed, and when the suggestion was made, no further information was given on how I should progress beyond "send a letter", which has meant that I've needed to start another stream - this one, but only after taking the time to research first.

    • 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.

Yup. Send it to HBOS plc, Trinity Road, Halifax, HX1 2RG.

 

This is their head office. It is likely that you will, after a few weeks, get a letter from Customer Complaints from Bank of Scotland (sent from Scotland). I just kept correspondng with HBOS's head office, although I copied in the Customer Comlaints Dept and pointed out that this is a legal matter, not a mere complaint, and that the timetable I had set out must be adhered to.

 

Good luck!!!

If you need a court buddy or anymore help, please PM me!

When it comes to issuing proceedings, make sure it is against HBOS plc, not Halifax PLC. I'd write to HBOS plc not Haifax PLC, although the address is the same.

Whoa....Maria why should the claim be against HBOS Plc ? If the account is with BoS then you should be claiming against BoS. Halifax and BoS have separate banking licences nd HBOS Plc is a holding company. If your account is with BoS then underlying contracts are with BoS and you should claim against BoS.

All comments are my personal views - if in doubt then seek professional advice. If you think i've helped then please tip my scales.

I claimed against HBOS plc, Trinity Road because that is what everyone told me to do when I asked on this website a few months ago.

!

 

It's too late now anyway, the claim's been made and I have got judgement in default. I will wait and see if they try to set it aside but if Stornoway is correct then many many people have claimed against the wrong company.

Maria its great that you have won but suspect its by default as HBOS Plc didnt defend. What you are doing is akin to claiming against HSBC if your account is with First Direct (HSBC "own" First Direct) or claiming against RBS when your account is with Natwest (RBS "own" Natwest). If you have an account with BoS then all your statements, chequebooks and Bank cards etc will say somewhere on them "Governor and Company of the Bank of Scotland" - it is that entity you should claim against. I know what I am talking about here as I work for HBOS.

All comments are my personal views - if in doubt then seek professional advice. If you think i've helped then please tip my scales.

I succesfully claimed nearly £7000 from BOS using the Trinity Road address. I wanted to use MCOL due to the size of the claim and needed to take the action with an English based address for both claimant and Defendant.

 

Worked a treat for me.;)
