    • Good Evening, I've got a fairly simple question but I'll provide some context incase needed. I've pursued a company that has operations in england despite them having no official office anywhere. I've managed to find a site they operate from and the papers there have been defended so I know they operate there. They've filed a defence which is honestly the worst defence ever, and despite being required to provide their witness evidence, they have not and have completely ignored the courts and my request for copies of it. I'm therefore considering applying to strike out their defence on the grounds the defence was rubbish and that they haven't provided any evidence for the trial. However, it has a trial date set for end of june, and a civil application wouldn't get heard until a week before then, so hardly worth it. However, my local court is very good at dealing with paper applications (i.e ones that don't need hearings, and frankly I think they are literally like 1-2 days from when you submit it to when a Judge sees it. I'm wondering if I can apply to strikeout a defence without a hearing OR whether a hearing is required for a strikeout application.   Thanks
    • I have just opened another bank acc with lloyds (i have a few already) After doing some research they may have some relation to tsb or be apart of the same group will this cause me issue if my salary is paid into my lloyds account? Also, if the debts do go into default and nothing is paid then after 6 years it all goes away? As the DCAs cannot do anything? I do want to start paying in like 3/4 months or do you advise I leave it if it goes into default? again sorry for all the questions, i am just processing everything

    • 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.

DPA sent off for myself and my wife's credit card charges dating back 6 years,on 27 April,and lo and behold the list of charges arrived today,along with a waiver of my enclosed £10 fee!!Ok....

 

Totted up the totals,and it comes to £1705.My card was cancelled a couple of years back,but my wife's card has a balance outstanding of around £1500 .....I think you can see where this is going.....

 

Phoned Gareth Tunnicliffe this morning,told him the situation and requested my wife's balance be cleared today.BLAH BLAH,charges are fair under t&c's,but he would look at the fees and my wife's account and get back to us today around 4PM.

 

I reminded him that it would save a lot of grief on both our parts if they settled today,and that if they didn't it would have to go further with the inevitable result.

 

I am not expecting them to settle,but I can tell you that the guys in MBNA customer advocate office are starting to sound VERY tired and weary!!!;):D

They may offer you a smaller settlement, I think you'll still have to take it all the way, though you never know!

 

Interesting you say they sounded tired and weary, I had a young lad phone me from Yorkshire bank the other day, I reckon they had given him the job of ringing everyone as the poor guy sounded like he had been on the receiving end of one too many ear bashings from BAG'ers, hehe!

Bank of Scotland: Claiming £699.47, SETTLED IN FULL at moneyclaim stage

Natwest CC - Claiming £804, SETTLED IN FULL at LBA stage

to be quite honest,I'll be flabbergasted if they do settle,but if my wife gets her card cleared,I'm grabbing it with both hands!!

quick update!!

 

Just had Gareth Tunnicliffe on the phone-offered £700 off the account straight away-accepted it gratefully and told him that I was only accepting it as part payment and was going to pursue the remainder...

 

Conversation roughly as follows-

 

GT-this would constitute a full and final settlement...etc etc

 

LTWF-I will accept the £700 credit as a part settlement and will be pursuing the remainder.Why not just settle in full today,save us both the trouble?.Why put the inevitable off for a few weeks when you know I will get it all back?

 

GT-Obviously I can't comment on that....

 

LTWF- but you know I will get it all back eventually-settle in full now and you will never hear from us again....

 

GT- let me consult a general manager and I will try to get back to you this afternoon,or failing that, tomorrow

 

END

 

If you are in a position to talk to Gareth Tunnicliffe,please do not give the guy a hard time.He is just another 5/8 who is just doing a job for a banking monolith.He comes over as actually quite a nice guy who is trying to help the best he can.

got a letter in yesterday from MBNA(after the charges had been refunded) to say that the £1540 was a "goodwill payment" and not an admission of liability etc etc,and that they were now closing the account as we were not willing to stick to their terms and conditions!!

 

After us asking to them to basically clear off after they refunded us-and,oh yeah MBNA-you were sticking to OUR terms and conditions for a change.How did it feel?Because as far as we are concerned,it feels great!!!:D:D:D

We settlesd up all our charges on May 17 and the account was cleared as a result:D

 

We then got a letter dated May 20 to say that the account was being closed-no tears from us there!!

 

You'll never believe this-today the better half got a statement in with a balance(very small) and a late payment charge of £12!!

 

just composed this short and to the point letter-

 

 

 

10 JULY 2006

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

RE xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

I am frankly astonished that today I received a credit card statement for an account which is closed.I received a letter from MBNA, dated May 20 2006,to say that following my successful recovery of all unlawful charges levied against the account,the account was now closed,and that the balance was zero.

 

I sincerely hope you can explain this attempt to acquire money under false pretences and by fraudulent means.I look forward to your full explanation in writing,otherwise legal advice will be sought

Talk about the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing!

today I got a letter from a Rachel Claridge,the customer advocate office manager.Basically they have told me I will get a full written response within 28 days(!).I am a bit miffed,and think that it's time I rattled a few cages at MBNA...

 

response sent today-

 

Thank you for your letter.

 

As I pointed out in my previous letter,I have had it confirmed in writing that the account has been closed.I fail to see the necessity for a 28 day investigation procedure in this case.

 

I would have expected a financial institution such as MBNA would have been in a position to have an account closure on record,and to a confirm to a customer that this is the case,virtually straightaway.

 

In my dealings with banks and credit card companies of late,I have been receiving an education in incompetence, and am of the opinion that in many cases,left hand

is blissfully unaware of what right hand is doing,or in indeed in some instances,that right hand is even attached to the same body!!

 

I intend to raise this issue with the Financial Services Authority,and while I appreciate that the sum involved may be relatively inconsequential,the principle is the same-I have been presented with a bill from a Bank following the closure of the account(as a direct consequence of my exercising my legal rights to recover unlawful penalties,I should point out-something which is now under investigation by the OFT,I should also point out)for a sum of money which I do not owe.

 

This is unacceptable,and to top it all,not even a word of apology!!

 

Yours faithfully
