    • Post #9 suggested some options to avoid or put off having a smart meter. Post #12 a simple solution to your complaint about the ay they handle fixed monthly DD. It's not really clear why you posted if you're going get irate when members "jump in" with suggestions. You can see what I'm referring to on "gasracker.uk" to allay your suspicion that I was lying in Post #16 which was made to correct ther misinformation shown in your Post #15
    • Back to octopus from the smart meter/tariff salesperson. Octopus have now said just ignore the letter - I dont have to have one despite there letter implying (at least) it was required, but that i will HAVE to have a smart meter if current meters stop working as 'their suppliers dont supply non smart meters any more'. They also say they do not/will not disable any smart functionality when they fit a smart meter I am of course going to challenge that. Thats their choice of meter fitter/supplier problem not mine
    • Point taken that we should inform new Caggers that the £20 option is there in wrong registration cases.  Well, supposedly there, who knows what the PPCs would do in practice.  Anyway, the option is allegedly there with both the BPA as you say, but also the IPC (I've just checked). However, there's a danger here of baby, bathwater. The two easiest types of cases to win are (a) residential - due to Supremacy of Contract and (b) wrong registration - due to "de minimis".  Indeed until recently we has been boasting that no Caggers, over two years, who had sent a PPC the wrong registration snotty letter, had even been taken to court, let alone lost a court hearing. We simply can do nothing about a terrible judge.  The judge seems - I say seems because we haven't had all the details - to have ignored "de minimis",. got fixated on a sign and awarded unreasonable behaviour costs.  A totally bizarre judgement.
    • You mean your witness statement 
    • That may be your personal claimed experience I said i didn't want smart meters - you jumped in to recommend smart meters I quite clearly indicated I was happy with being in credit to maintain constant payments - you suggest paying what I owe every month I quite clearly indicated I was happy with being in credit to maintain constant payments - you suggest a variable tariff - even if its one that only varies on a daily basis rather than half/hourly - with prices higher in winter when you need it and lowest in summer when you need it least   politeness ends with: - I'm NOT interested in any smart tariff I see, You are pushing your smart meter + variable tariffs in the wrong place - try pushing them somewhere 'nearer to home'

    • 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.

I started my claim on Wednesday 22 February 2007 I sent a letter together with a copy of my charges which I calculated through my access to 6 years statements through internet banking. I was sat until midnight reading this sight and all of the messages so marched my dog up to the post box at 1am Thursday 23rd February to post 2 letters, 1 to branch and 1 to leeds customer care centre.

 

I am waiting to see what is going to happen.

 

It is Wednesday 28th February today, they would not have received the letter until Friday 24th February so we will see what I have received back by Thursday 8th March if anything at all.

 

I am worried that with all of this advertising on TV and in the papers that everyone is going to be claiming and HSBC are just going to draw a line under it and pay out no more.

 

What does anyone else think - it would be just my luck!

 

Is anyone else at the same stage as me? Perhaps we could go through this together?

 

Candice :rolleyes:

they can't draw a line under it or they would have a year ago -

yes, the ground swell is increasing and because of it we can expect longer waits and tougher treatment. so, it is important not to be scared off by anything they say or do and also to get things right - so they can't argue.

one thing i think we should be telling newbies with hsbc -is they are getting very particular about charges over 6 years - the six years back goes from the date you file (so about 30 days forward from the first letter) any dates before that - they won't consider. also, the overdraft interest - if you are claiming it - must be done spot on - using vampiress' advanced spreadsheet.

welcome to hsbc land, we are a friendly bunch and there are new people every day, i'm sure you'll hook up with some buddies pretty quickly.

try to stay one step ahead on the step by steps - so read a lot more and get your lba ready to send off on 9 march. there's so much to tell - but i think the best advice is to just keep reading threads - everyone has the same questions - you'll find answers on threads faster than if you asked. but if something is bothering you - ask away. we are all helping each other. good luck

Hi Candice! :)

 

I thought the same thing about all the advertising and stuff, but have asked a few people on here and they reassure me that there is nothing HSBC can do other than try to scare you off!

 

I am at the same stage as you just a few days ahead, sent my first letter (Prelim) off on 17th Feb and have my LBA ready to send off on saturday (2nd March). i have already recieved a letter from HSBC but is just there usual 'fob you off' letter ''we are looking into the matter... blah blah... signed colin langdale''. so once, or if you recieve this just ignore it and continue on with your claim and stick to your timetable.

 

Now i've just got to wait, send off LBA on saturday and see what happens next.

 

Good Luck though!!! :D

Hi candice

 

Having sent of my DPA letter on 6 Feb I have finally got my statements, so got to go through all of these now and find out total charges.

 

Did you include the interest that you had been charged as a result of the charges or not?

 

Also, dont know if anyone can advise, but been on internet account and found they are charging me £125.00 on 19march but doesnt give reason why, just a summary, should I include this as well?

 

This site has been a huge help, keep us posted on your position Candice!! and good luck x:lol:

tanya - don't include it on your prelim letter - but by the time you are doing the lba it will probably have been charged, then you can include it.

i see you have an abbey thread - are you claiming from hsbc? - if you are - start a new thread in this forum so we can find you and help you out when you need it.

Thanks guys - can't beleive that so many people are in the same position as me.

 

Anyway, I still have received nothing. After reading this forum until silly o'clocl this morning I have preped my LBA to send off on 7th March, I hope it doesn't have to go as far as MCOL as the thought of organising a bundle and preping the paperwork daunts me a little.

 

Good luck with yours Boris - be sure to let us know how you get on:)

Nice one! So when are they going to cough up th money and put it into your account. I have a claim for £2677.00 for my current account £766 from our joint account and £697 from my husbands current account. In a way you feel disappointed that it isn't more!!

 

Well done you - you really stuck it out, is it easier than it sounds? What is an AQ?

gets a bit 'hairy' at times, but if you don't skip out any bits and keep reading/posting/asking, the confidence is once again boosted and you feel like your'e on the 'right track' forgive the pun.

i wrote to dg today asking that a cheque be with me within 7 days or the aq fee gets added to the offer - we'll see. i genuinely think that dg hate me - i've been such a pain in the a**e as you will read - if you ever get that far on my thread haha... tis a bit long init lol

AQ = Allocation Questionnaire

you'll get this when you've filed your claim and hsbc defend all the claim bless em'

the 'bundle' you were on about in an earier thread is way down the line and more than likely not needed so don't worry about that at this stage. you're doing fine

I have just completed the standard template you use on here for the charges ready to go off with my LBA - the amount has addes up differently, Ihave found an extra £400.00 - I know that this is because I have added February 2007 in it but I also seem to have missed a few charges before, does this matter. Also when sending the LBA do I add the interest. I am dying to add the interest as it puts such a huge amount on there!!!:lol:

you can add charges right up to filing your claim.

don't ask for the 8% interest until you file your claim.

double check you figures again - wouldn't do to miss any out.

overdraft interest - or the interest with a DR next to it is a different kettle of fish - don't just add that on - if you want to do o/d interest you need to be aware of what it is, how it is figured and be prepared to defend you claim to it. get back if you need help with it but whatever you do - don't just add it on - that would be incorrect.

so if your total is different from the first letter - just call it your "revised schedule of charges"

I had my letter from Mr Langdale today with the usual we are looking into it jargen...I enclose a leaflet which explains the process of this matter... but hey, guess what... there was no leaflet enclosed!

 

LBA ready to be posted tomorrow!

 

This man runs like clock work, so predictable getting a letter the day before my LBA is due to be sent - he seems to be working on the same timescale with everyone elses case on here so I can assumer that I will be registering with MCOL
