    • This journo thinks Trump wants a Mafia state. I wonder if his supporters really want him to be immune if he orders a political assassination? The surest sign yet that Donald Trump wants to run the US like the mafia INEWS.CO.UK The Trumps want to make sure nothing like the rule of law stops them  
    • Yes. I'd be very interested to know how the defendant fared in putting forward the defence that the calaimant had been contributorily negligent by not keeping their cat under control. I'm aware that some people might find that fatuous, distracting or confusing, but the reality is that I'm not aware of any law that imposes a duty upon cat owners to keep their pets under control.  Whereas I believe the law does hold dog owners responsible for their dogs in public places. I'm not certain it was at all beneficial to the OP to suggest that blaming the claimant was a credible defence...
    • Okay, perfect. they did say BS is invoked as soon as i fill in their application form, ill get a pin. i had to press them more on this as they didnt want to discuss BS much. so i should fill in the form and get the pin, then i can initiate BS. What will follow and what should i do after? Thanks again for all the help and patience.
    • Good evening, so not a good weekend reviewing paperwork -- I have lost some proofs of postage.. also, although not provided at CCA, they have now supplied a DN in their WS, please see scan of claimants WS (without statements) Document with tick boxes as signatures doesn't look like an agreement and is split across pages. Documents have been stapled and copied multiple times looking at the top left of them. Aside from that, having read other threads, I suspect they have everything? appreciate your input please Sorry for heavy redactions, I noticed the paperwork was see-through LinkHalifaxCC1.compressed.pdf

    • 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.

Dont worry, stay cool...they will leave it as late as possible, if you ended up in court (which I VERY much doubt, someone in your area might be able to come and support you!) Dont worry about the Joint account bit, its all fine!

Received a cheque on Saturday morning for 597.04 - about 100 more than claim but then I have had 50 extra charges go through this month so maybe they're covering their backs.

 

It was accompanied by the usual letter about how it's not an admission of liability and they will be contacting me regarding the account. They're going to have no customers left at this rate!

 

Thanks everyone for your support and good luck to everyone who's in the process.

Hi,

 

I only have £75.57 worth of charges and I have sent the Request for payment letter and the letter before action and received the same as everyone else. I am a bit worried about sending the claim form. I have read the FAQ's and being me I am a bit confused. Can anyone email me who has been succesful with the A&L what they put on their claim form. Does the form go to the local court? Or do you think it is worth the fight.

 

Good luck to you all.

 

Thank you

 

Carol

I am in a state of shock. I checked my bank this morning and they have applied another 75 pounds of charges for paying amounts of 15.79, 10.88 and 11.50! THe ironic thing is that I paid in the cheque from them on Monday and desperately needed it to clear as we had no cash - so the refunded charges hadn't yet cleared and caused further charges!

 

I rang the call centre and they advised that I would be contacted about it in writing from the supervisor, I told them if the charges weren't refunded that I would be starting the whole process again. I think they'll probably close my account now but luckily I've got my parachute account open and ready to go!

Sent a preliminary letter and the amount has been refunded but it looks as if they're going to withdraw our overdraft. Luckily we've got enough to cover it as we have come into some money but this could be difficult for people who are worse off.

I've been home and actually read the letter now and it appears my partner missed out the most important part. Alliance & Leicester are closing our accounts on 4th July and want us to return our cards and cheque books in a teeny tiny little envelope (this is going to be quite difficult considering they send us a new chequebook every other week whether we need one or not!). I'm not sure what to do now as we were going to close the account next week anyway - we've switched to another bank.

I'm not quite sure what your problem is. You have your money back, you were going to close the account anyway. You could just destroy (shred if possible) the cheque books etc, and tell them you have done so. Surely it's just a case of whether you want them to close the account, or you want the satisfaction of closing it yourself and telling them why. I understand it doesn't affect your credit rating either way. :rolleyes:

I don't have a problem with them closing my account, my only bugbear is the reason they're doing it - as a consequence of me claiming back money which is lawfully mine!

Well you wouldn't be the first to fight the closure if you wanted to go that route. There are other examples in the forums.
