    • Thanks for coming back and letting us know. Obviously we totally disagree with their decision.  Their remortgaging could only have gone wrong if they had ended up with a CCJ.  And how do you get a CCJ?  If you lose in court and then defy the court and don't pay.  Even if you lose in court, you don't get a CCJ as long as you pay within the 30 days ordered by the court.  Even had they lost in court the judge would have disallowed the interest and the £70 Unicorn Food Tax that PE made up.  There was no advantage whatsoever for giving in and paying now. But thanks to you for letting us know - a hell of a lot of users don't.
    • Hi everyone.   Before I say anything, TFL finally responded to the email I sent last week:   Thank you for your email, we acknowledge the signed documents you have returned in preparation for your hearing.   We note that this matter is causing you some stress and anxiety, however this is not a reason for TfL to discontinue proceedings. It is not unusual for passengers that have been summonsed to court to experience these symptoms, and we do have some empathy with your concerns.   However, as previously stated, TfL do not accept out of court settlements, and you will have the opportunity at your hearing, to provide your mitigation to the court prior to a decision being reached by them on how they intend to deal with this matter (usually a fine).   I am sorry that this decision is not more favourable.   Yours sincerely   James Vallis     At least he sounds more sympathetic in this email…   Only one week to go until the court hearing and I am so so nervous. I’ve prepared some questions and answers in preparation for what to say to the magistrate. It will help calm me down if I know roughly what to expect. If you could give feedback on it that would be great. If you have anything to add please do let me know.   As far as I know the court hearing will happen in these stages: Introduction and statement of facts Pleading guilty for the journeys I made with my mother’s card Penalty sentencing Appeal (if charged with a criminal record)   Am I guilty? Yes.   Why did I not pay the fare legally? Last year there was a lot going on in my life and I was struggling financially so to relieve some of this I used my mother’s Oyster card. I know it’s not an excuse and it’s still wrong.   Why do I not accept a criminal record? I really don’t want it to affect my chances of finding a job in the future. I will be the one earning money in my family so I am doing my best and studying hard to be able to get a good job. A criminal record would mean that regardless of how hard I’m working I won’t get the job I want after I graduate. This fills me with so much regret, sadness and disappointment in myself. I just want to be a good daughter for my mother because she’s already had to deal with many hardships in her life and I don’t want to make it any harder for her.
    • HI all, This is done now. My daughter and her fella are currently in the process of remortgaging so they just paid it out of panic. Thank you anyway DX
    • MCOL will tell you once they've filed it with the courts so just check there. I'm sure the courts are massive fans of DCBL using official documents to harass and scare people (Not! ) Remember that the courts call the shots now, not the claimant.

    • 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 checked my statements for my GE Money loan and have found 27 'administration charges' of £40 a time. This is a charge made every month when you have arrears. Can I claim these back?

 

What else can I claim, CCI presumably as the charges are still sat on the account incurring interest, a clear cut case?

Yes you may claim the admin charges. The interest is something that you will have to make up your own mind about.

 

Do not however, fall into the trap that any of this is clear cut, litigation always carries risk. Prepare well and read as much as you can, in particular if you plan to claim interest at the rate at which it may have been charged to you.

iGroup (GE Money) - AoS Filed late, defence late, amended defence also late despite extra time requested and granted.

Vanquis - Claim issued, no AoS or Defence received

I've just totted up £795 in 'Admin Fees', 'Direct Debit Recall Charges' (£20 each) and a 'Default Notice Charge' (£35) I want to charge interest on these to accurately reflect the interest I am being charged by GE Money, and their interest rate has changed (increased of course!) several times during the peiod of the loan. Can someone direct me to a spreadsheet which can accomodate this?

 

Thanks

I'm going to have a go at G E Money for those £40 admin charges. I paid by cheque one month too, and they still claimed the DD (even though I paid early and advise them I was changing banks and not to take the DD) and then charged me £20!. Needless to say I have been refused a refund. Given that G E Money are such vindictive and unpleasant people I think I might go down the F O S route though.

It is hard to know what all these are but I'd say that interest is a 'no', but that most other entries are worth a try

Hi all

Got the same problem, owe one month payment since Octobe 06

They want to add the payment into the account plus all the admincharges and say it would only cost an extra £5 per month

Hu was I born yesterday! loads of charges at £40 a time

 

Sent S A R in February and just received a letter saying returne my £10 went on to say sorry not happy with their charges basically this is what oit costs. no refernce to sending my statements etc.

So today sent another SAR letter and the £10 I think they are just trying to run rings round us till we give up.

I have three different things going on with them they are so rude and arragant a think they are al law un to them selves, but Iv had enough now so started Court procceding for PPI claim and also reported them of OFT anf trhe Financial Obnasman

 

I really can't wait to get these to Court, I actually don't care if they were to send me Prison, but I know that will never happen because there would be to much publicity.

 

Good luck to you all

 

LYNN

You cannot go to prison for owing someone money Lynn!

 

But isn't that typical of GE Money? Sending back your SAR fee!

Hi Gizmo111

I have been following the threads on building up a case against these unlawful exsessive charges from companies like GE Money. Would the prelim letter mortgage charges be the correct letter to send regarding claims for early repayment charges or is there a similar letter in the libruary to use for this type of claim? Can any one else help regarding this question?

Yep

 

Having reviewed previous correspondance and your account history i feel i can only re iterate the comments already made. As confirmed in our previous letter, our fees are applied in order to recover costs - blah blah blah

 

I trust now we have made our position clear, however if you remain disastissfied you should note this our final response, regarding the concerns, and such you shd now refer the matter to the F.O.S

 

So is it MCOL time?

 

As this was in response to my LBA.
