    • I disagree with the charge and also the statements sent. Firstly I have not received any correspondence from DVLA especially a statutory notice dated 2/5/2024 or a notice 16/5/2024 voiding my licence if I had I would have responded within this timeframe. The only letter received was the single justice procedure notice dated the 29.5.2024 this was received on 4.6.2024. I also disagree with the statement that tax was dishonoured through invalid indemnity claim. I disagree that the licence be voided I purchased the vehicle in Jan 2024 from RDA car sales Pontefract with agreement to collect the car on the 28.1.2024. The garage taxed the vehicle on the 25.1.24 for eleven payments on direct debit  using my debit card on my behalf. £62.18 was the initial payment on 8.2.24  and £31 per month thereafter the second payment was 1.3.24.This would run from Jan 24 to Dec 24 and a total of £372.75, therefore the car was clearly taxed before  I took the car away After checking one of my vehicle apps  I could see the vehicle was showing as untaxed it later transpired that DVLA had cancelled my tax , without reason and I did not receive any correspondence from DVLA to state why it was cancelled or when. The original payment of £62.18 had gone through and verified by my bank Lloyds so this payment was not declined. I then set up the direct debit again straight away at my local post office branch on 15.2.2024 the first payment was £31 on 1.3.2024 and subsequent payments up to Feb 2025 with a total of £372.75 which was the same total as the original DD that was set up in Jan, Therefore I claimed the £62.18 back from my bank as an indemnity claim as this payment was from the original cancelled tax from DVLA and had been cancelled . I have checked my bank account at Lloyds and every payment since Jan 24  up to date has been taken with none rejected as follows: 8.2.24 - £62.15 1.3.24 - £31.09 2.4.24 - £31.06 1.5.24 - £31.06 3.6.23-£31.06 I have paper copies of the original DD set up conformation plus a breakdown of payments per month , and a paper copy of the second DD setup with breakdown of payments plus a receipt from the post office.I can also provide bank statements showing each payment to DVLA I also ask that my licence be reinstated due to the above  
    • You know hes had it when they call out those willing to say anything even claiming tories have reduced taxes on live tv AS Salmonella says: The Conservative Party must embrace Nigel Farage to “unite the right”, Suella Braverman has urged, following a disastrous few days for Rishi Sunak. The former home secretary told The Times there was “not much difference” between the new Reform UK leader’s policies and those of the Tories, as senior Conservatives start debating the future of the party. hers.   AND Goves replacement gets caught booking in an airbnb to claim he lives locally .. as of yesterday you can rent it yourself in late July - as he'll either be gone or claiming taxpayer funded expenses for a house Alongside pictures of himself entering a house, Mr McGuinness said Surrey Heath residents “rightly expect their MP to be a part of their community”. - So whens farage getting around to renting (and subletting) a clacton beach hut?   Gove’s replacement caught out on constituency house claim as home found on Airbnb WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK Social media users quickly pointed out house Ed McGuinness had posted photos in was available to rent     As Douglas Ross says he'll stand down in scotland - if he wins a Westminster seat - such devotion.
    • I've completed a draft copy to defend and will post up here for review.  Looking over the dates and payments this all stemmed from DVLA cancelling in Feb , whereby I set up a new DD in Feb hence the overlap, why they cancelled when I paid originally in Jan I have no idea. Anyway now stuck with pending court action and a suspended licence . I am also firing off a letter to DVLa recorded disputing the licence revoke
    • Thank you both for your expert knowledge and understanding. You're fighting the good fight by standing up for people like me and others with limited knowledge of this stuff. I thank you. I know all my DVLA details are good. I recently (last year) renewed my license, and my car's V5 is current with the correct details; the same is valid for my partner. I'll continue to ignore the love letters 😂 and won't let it bother either me or my partner.  I'll revisit this post if/when I get a letter of claim.  F**k ém.

    • 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.

My first post and straight to the throat!

 

This is me starting my pursuit of bank charges from 3 accounts.

 

My 2 personal current accounts and my wife's recently closed account (before it was closed the account incurred about £350 in charges within the last month of the account being forced to close!)

 

I will keep you posted!

 

Unfortunately, cannot get online too much, cannot afford the internet due to these massive charges, but once I've won and paid some debts, I'll fill in all the details. ;)

 

Probably update twice a week.

Thanks Parkvale.

 

Just as I forgot... I've estimated the amount they have charged me, but I'm sending the SAR's for good measure.

 

Would I be right in saying, that it's best to get in now as most of the country seems to have contacted the banks? Are they allowed to change their terms and fight back the people with that 'easy way out'?

DejaVu,

They cannot change the laws of the land. So there is no " easy way out " They have not defended their charges in any court room. If they did defend in a court they would

have to disclose the true costs of their charges :( So any time is a good time. :)

Now... Finally getting the ball rolling.

 

I got the statements for my wifes account today - what a mess!

 

We have all statements from 4th October 2002 - 29 December 2006. The statements do not say the account is closed on them and interest and charges are STILL accumilating on it as far as we know.

 

She no longer has access to the account and the card has been returned. There is a charge almost on every page ranging between £28 and £175 in one day (cheque bounces because of 1 charge). This account is a complete mess! I'm gonna need a lot of help I think!

 

We also recieved a letter this morning from a debt collection agency for just under £2000.

 

I'm about to go through and add ALL the charges together and ALL the interest. After I have these amounts what do I need to do? I surprised the charges are still continuing!

 

We didnt realise that is was this bad until this morning as we have recieved hardly any correspondance since Decemeber! All we've had 2 collection letters within that time!

We've worked it out that the total charges is over £3,000 since 2002. But the debt collectors letter is for £1950. Does this come out of the money we are reclaiming? Even though this is the accumilating charges?

 

Going through, we found the worst was £175 charged in one day! These are all triggered but charges making cheques bounce. There is also an Overdraft facility rammed in there somewhere. Any advice on the money we are claiming back would be appriecated.

Hi dejavu, have a look through Natties sticky on charges just so that you're sure on what you can and can't reclaim. And with the overdraft, you can't reclaim the general overdraft interest - just the portion that has been added because of charges applied to the account that made you go over the overdraft limit.

 

With regards to the DCA - I think you need to hang on for Nattie to log on (about 5ish). I'm pretty sure that if the debt is made entirely of accumulating charges, you can have the account put into dispute then write to the DCA informing them of this. They would have to back off until you'd sorted it out then. I'm not really too sure though. Have a really good read round the threads (especially in the DCA and General Debt forums).

 

Hold on for a little while - Nattie should be on soon!!! Good luck, hedgey xxx :p

Checked the Natwest Charges guide and added the lot together. I'm just confusing myself with all the other things needing to consider.

 

The DCA and amounts of interest I can claim back. The OD went £900 over it's limit because of the charges (almost double the limit!)

Don't worry dejavu, I'm sure you're doing everything right. It's pretty confusing all this bank charges thingie though isn't it?!

 

As long as you've done all of the following - you'll have done everything right so far:

- highlighted all charges on your statements

- not included any Advantage Gold fees (if you have AG account)

- input all charges into one of the spreadsheets (either the basic one that just calculates how many days since the charge was applied to your account & calculates the 8% interest, or one of the advanced ones for claiming overdraft interest and contractual interest)

- hidden the 8% interest column if using simple spreadsheet (this can only be claimed at the court stage)

 

Nattie should be along soon to give you some info about the other stuff, so just hang on a little longer and hopefully you can sleep easy tonight!! xxxx :p

Guest NATTIE

The rest of the statements should be on their way to you and the charges seem to be higher than you actually owe(very positive). Can you confirm whether the account is with debt management, Credit Management Services or Debt Collection Agency?

 

A misread, hedgey, we need a letter that the debt is in dispute. you know how to find them more quickly than me.

Thanks Nattie, you're a good 'un. The letter needed can be found here http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-bailiffs-advice/20758-creditors-dcas-letter-templates.html Letter A - just needs adapting according to the individual. Hopefully, this should do the trick and keep the DCA at bay whilst dejavu sorts the claim out. xxx :p

I checked those templates out, but it doesnt seem like an appropriate letter on there exists, it's more to do with 'financial circumstances'. I may use that letter and edit it to 'disputing the debt' though.

 

Although, I must add that the debt IS in the DCA's hands and the final debt according to the Statement was £1,878.09. The DCA is asking for £1,932.93, 4 months later. I would guess that the interest has been frozen at this time.

 

So, should I be getting further back statements then that the bank should send? (6 years from the date of my SAR?).

 

I filled an advanced spread sheet out, but I did get a little confused doing that too!

 

I've looked through the forum (which is huge and RAMMED with info BTW!) But can you explain the Interest columns a little clearer and what exactly they are for?

 

8% On Penalties...

Is this what I charge the bank for charging me?

 

Interest On Penalties...

Is this the actual Interest I should'nt have been charged?

 

Because of which -

8% On Interest On Penalties...

I claim back that too...?

 

One more thing I remember -

When I got offered my OD I was told the first £50 into it is Interest free -

That should be entered into "Interest Free Overdraft (Enter as +)?

I have now filled out the Spreadsheets for all 3 accounts and believe they are correct. It's quite scary when you realise how much the banks have levied from you over the years!

Link to post
Share on other sites

Okay. I think I'm getting this now. Here is where I am at, according to the Spreadsheets I've filled. Obviously, the 8% On Interest On Penalties I've left out for now (My god this gets deep, glad I come alive at this time of night and my maths is reasonably good! LOL)

 

My Wife's account's -

£3,008 Charged

£362.17 Interest Charged on Penalties

£3,008 + £362.17 = £3370.17

£362.53 Added Interest @ 8% since charge

£3370.17 + £362.53 = £3732.17

This is what we claim back from the Bank for this account

 

My first account -

£1,960.42 Charged

£453.08 Interest Charged on Penalties

£1,960.42 + £453.08 = £2,413.50

£462.30 Added Interest @ 8% since charge

£2,413.50 + £462.30 = £2,875.80

This is what we claim back from the Bank for this account

 

My second account -

£201.34 Charged

82p Interest Charged on Penalities

£201.34 + 82p = £202.16

£92.37 Added Interest @ 8% since charge

£202.16 + £92.37 = £294.53

This is what we claim back from the Bank for this account.

 

Between my wife and I that's almost £7,000 in charges! WOW!

 

This seems correct to me, (can someone comment to ensure it looks it) and the claim seems fair as well, considering the amount of stress the bank has caused both of us. I gather I now need to send these figures off to the bank with the next letter.

 

One thing I need mention here. I opened my second account in 2001 and closed it in 2002. I spoke to my dad today, who's told me that I'd had a new letter and he'd opened it by mistake. It's more statements, with my address, but with someone else's name on the account (which I closed years ago!). I thought I'd recieved all the statements now!

 

I'll fill this blank once I see it for myself. Not home at the moment, but eager to see what's going on there! Keep you posted.

I've just read further through the forum a little more and think I've realised that the "Added Interest @ 8% since charge" is not sent at the Preliminary Approach for Repayment stage.

 

I just ask for the money they've levied from me (The Charges and the Interest for the charges).

 

Meaning I cannot charge the bank 8% Interest since the penalties, yet. (It'd be a shame, cos it was ages ago they started charging my account loads of money!)

 

Is that correct?

Thanks Kate, that's cleared a few things up for me. I'm going to send 2 Preliminary Letters now.

 

1 with my wife's account claim and 1 with both my accounts. I will obviously include a printout of the spreadsheets with the claims minus the Statutory 8% interest.

 

I've left it about a fortnight to sort out the charges on my account to get back to the second letter to make sure I get it correct.

 

Any advice about this other letter I got containing my 'OLD' account number, with my address and someone elses name on it???

 

Surely that's a completely seperate issue... Which I will name INCOMPETENCE for now!! LOL
