    • A 'signed for' Letter of Claim has been sent today so they have 14 days from tomorrow... Lets wait and see what happens but i suspect judging by their attitude they wont reply 
    • I am extremely apprehensive about burning our files.... I do not know why, so it is becoming an endless feedback loop. Scared to pull the trigger to speak in the desire not to mess up my file. 
    • Hi All, So brief outline. I have Natwest CC debt £8k last payment i made was 7th November 2018 Not a penny since. So coming up to the 6 year mark. Can't remember when i took out the  credit card would be a few years before everythign hit the fan. Moved house 2020 - updated NatWest as I still have a current account with them. Then Lowells took over from Moorcroft and were writing to me at my current address. I did get a family member to speak to them 3 years ago regarding the debt explained although it may be in my name I didn't rack it up then went contact again. 29th may received an email from overdales saying they were now managing the debt. I have not had any letter yet which i thought is odd?  Couple of questions 1. Does my family member speaking to lowell restart statute barred clock? 2. Do you think overdales aren't writing to me because they will back door CCJ to old address even though Lowells have contacted me at current address never at previous? ( have no proof though stupidly binned all letters  ) Should I write to them and confirm my address just incase? Does this restart statute barred clock? 3. what do you think best course of action is?   Any help/advice is appreciated I am aware they may ramp up the process now due to 7th December being the 6 year mark.   Many Thanks in advance! The threads on here have been super helpful to read.  
    • Hello all, just got this from my bank today.   ” Update on your payment refund As you know we temporarily refunded the amount(s) of £381.98 to your account pending investigation. We’re pleased to confirm that an additional amount of £359.99 has also been refunded to your account by the retailer on 18th March 2024. What will happen next To correct this situation, arrangements will be made on 6th June 2024 to reverse the original refund supplied from us.  Our file in respect of this matter will now be closed, which we trust is satisfactory.”   Not sure what to do as I was previously told if I hear nothing back after a certain date that would be the case closed now it’s been changed to the 6th of June. and as you see I’m not getting a full refund I don’t know wether to contact them again and try to get the £20, or if I even can at this point? Thanks again.

    • 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 have had a DMP with CCCS for the past year and i'm just wandering if reclaiming my charges from the Halifax would have any bearing on this ??

Could the Halifax get snotty and request that i pay off my c/card debt because of action i'm taking against them...like tit for tat ??

Altho it was my CCCs counsellor that suggested i made a claim just wanted to verify this.

I wouldnt want to be laughing one minute then have egg on my face the next :(

Quite surprised really as i only sent my first letter on the 10th of feb.

 

How nice of Halifax to be so efficient in their processing !! :)

 

Now lets see how quick they are to cough up :D

Well its been 28 days now since i sent my SAR but still have received no response from my good old friends at Halifax.

No letter saying "Oh you're trying to claim too...sorry blah blah blah".

Are Halifax usually this slow in replying with regards to reclaiming charges....?? Most people seem to receive a reply within days

:mad: Have i got a fight on my hands here ?? :evil:

Haliprats do tend to let it get as near to the 40 days, but sometimes a quick phone call help hurry things along, but im afraid you have to be patient at this.

Hi SSLady

My advice would be to ring them , i was in the same boat as you and when i rang and chased up s/ments they hadnot even been ordered even though they had cashed the £10.00 cheque, so when i rang she re-ordered them and they arrived about 5 days later (just to be on the safeside)

I also have been waiting 28 days for my statements to arrive. I was getting worried as some people seemed to get letters saying thier request was being dealt with before the statements were actually sent out. I have had no response at all. I did ring a number that I got from one of the threads saying that the lady was very helpful. However when I called her to ask how my SAR was coming along she was not happy that I had dialled her direct line and asked where I had got her number from. She then told me that she couldnt help and gavce me anlther number to call. I rang that and got a guy who then put me through the security questions. I have 2 accounts witht he Halifax and one of the last questions was 'What was the last transaction on this account' By mistake I gave him a direct debit tranasction from the wrong account number. Even though I told him that I had quoted from the wrong account and gave him the correct transaction detail he told me that I had failed security and would not help me. He told me to go to my local branch who would reset my security. I went along to the branch and was told that the person who could do it was in a meeting and I would need to come back as no-one else could help. I was also told that they did not need to fail me on the security for the reason given and that the guy on the phone was being a jobsworth. So today I have been back to the branch to get my security reset, only to be told (by the same person I spoke to a few days ago) 'Sorry, we cant reset security here, you have to go to a main branch' When I told him that I had been in previously and had been told to come back he asked who I had been talking to as I had abviously been given incorrect information. When i told him that it was in fact him he remembered the conversation but wasnt even embarrassed. He just said 'Whoops, i was wrong. sorry' Oh well, thats alright then!

At last i received my letter today from Halifax saying your statements are in the post...albeit another 21 days til i get them.Hopefully sooner.

 

And finally my friends this week who have had the same charges are going to follow my lead to chasing Halifax.

That's a few more new arrivals for CAG !! :D

give it 10 calendar days, then email [email protected] it usually gets them jumping to clear a complaint and the statements arrive after a couple of days.

Halifax - paid out without getting to court - £250 WON - no intention of going, stated too costly!!

Halifax no 2 account - paid out without a fight - (by mistake, £1650 - should have been £1200 - had to pay some back)

Hi all,

there are a couple of things that are appearing on this thread so here's my opinion, for what it's worth.

 

Obviously you can't proceed without knowing how much you're going to claim. They have 40 days. That's not a nice round number that one of us thunk up. It's the law. If you have a recorded delivery receipt showing delivery sod them. I can't post the real word.

If it comes to day 33. One week left. Ring every bugger you can find and complain your butt off. At the end of the day you are the customer and you are right. If they want to know where you got their number tell them it was me. PM me and I'll give you my name and phone number to quote. And they can ring me. They don't scare me anymore.

 

This lady has proved to be very efficient, be nice she has helped loads of us.

Failing that look through my first thread and there are loads of e-mail addresses that might help.

 

BUT, apart from chasing your SAR which is necessary, I wouldn't contact them at all.

 

This whole procedure is done on OUR timetable and to hell with them. If they have a backlog of requests. Tough! If I made £4billion a year I think I could take on more staff! If you say in your letter thay have two weeks then they have two weeks from receipt. If they don't get in touch. Tough again! Send your next letter and eventually file in court. Let them grovel to you about settling.

Stick to your guns and you'll win. Honest!

Read seaside ladys thread for inspiration.

Read mine to see how 'new' I was when I started.

 

Finally, before I get off my soapbox and back to my haggis. Read,read,read,read. And then - read more.

All the info you need is here. I know, I read it and won.

If you're still unsure all you have to do is ask.

[sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]"Another charge by the Bank?"

 

1st Claim (Current account)

30/11/06 WON! £3146.41

 

2nd Claim (Mortgage charges)

27/3/07 WON! - £277

 

3rd Claim (Credit card charges)

14/5/07 WON! £300

 

4th Claim (Old account 97-99 £444)

20/4/07 Prelim sent

9/5/07 LBA sent

Can't remember now but I WON!!!

Finally received my statements today and i was quite surprised as to how much Halifax has actually taken off me.

It's not quite as much as most people seem to be claiming but at £986 its a fair whack.

So first thing tomorrow will send my prelim letter asking politely for it all back..

here's keeping my fingers crossed ;)

Hi all,

I am new to the site but I had already sent letters to Halifax regarding the 2 bank accounts I hold with them, Surprisingly I received a response regarding one of the accounts within 10 days and was told that they did not charge for duplicate statements, the statements arrived 4 days later and a further letter confirming receipt of my complaint a week later. I have made a claim for approx £1500. However there has been no response regarding the other account and I suspect that they are going to make me wait the full 40 days :mad: as this claim is likely to run into thousands. Being the stubborn person I am they have a fight on their hands and I have just sent them a letter pointing out their inconsistent approach as an organisation to customer service. So I wait to see if I get a response

Give it a bit of time.It took halifax a while to reply to my prelim letter.Their customer service seems to vary.Some people get a quick reply some others have a waiting game.

The halifax office is no doubt a hive of activity with customer letters flooding in.

In my case i posted my LBA today.They have had more than a month to sort out my grievance but still no response except for "wait another month".

They have passed the timeline i set which was 14 days from my last letter so i've been overly generous.

Now i guess its a matter of waiting for that moment of truth.....!!

Oh well...

 

Got my reply from Halifax today after sending my LBA on the 30th of April.I guess its a standard letter saying " I'm sorry but..." and " When you took out an account you agreed ...blah blah.."

So basically they aren't going to relent that easily.Not that i thought they would.Just need some words of advice about the next step.I know its a bit of a gamble filing for a court case as it can go one of 2 ways...either in my favour or not,if its get that far of course.But i'm gonna see it thru no matter what.

Any help would be appreciated.

The letter you got today was sent to so many other people today, so just ignore it.

 

So as soon as your 14 days are up, then file. Have you decided wether to do mcol or N1 yet.

 

Have a read through of this,
