    • Forgive my ignorance but I assume take out dates would be when next payment is usually due? Jacamo is the 10th of each month Vanquis is usually the 6th or 7th of each month
    • Dear Sir/Madam, TFL case number: **** I would like to thank TFL for providing me the opportunity to explain my behaviour. I realised the stupidity of what I have done and wish to seek a resolution to this matter. I have no valid excuse for this action and I am extremely sorry and deeply regret my action. I hope you will accept my sincere apologies. Nothing can justify my action. I am aware that TFL are only able to operate if everyone pays their fare correctly and I feel so guilty about attempting to breach public trust. This has caused me sleepness nights and raised my anxieties. I have history of anxiety. This has been a hard lesson learnt. I have never been in trouble with the law in the past and I ensure that I won’t be in the future. I am and will be using my oyster card (PAYG). I would like to humbly appeal to TFL to allow me to settle this matter out of court and avoid going to prosecution given the adverse consequences it can have on me and my family. I am very concerned that prosecution for the first time and I would like to make restitution for my action. Having a criminal offense on my record will have detrimental consequences on me. I have always been a law abiding person and have no previous offences. I would really appreciate if I can be given the opportunity to pay for any unpaid fares plus any charges and/or administrative cost which have been incurred by TFL due to this incident. I am sincerely remorseful and ashamed of myself, and I fully appreciate the severity and stupidity of my transgressions. Again, I would like to offer my sincerest apologies. Yours Faithfully, My Name

    • 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.

Story so far:

 

09/02/07 - DSAR letter sent

16/03/07 - Data received & cheque returned (very kind of them)

19/03/07 - Request for Payment sent

 

I'm claiming £250 plus interest for that account and have given them 10 days to respond before I send my LBA.

 

I received a note of charges on another account with them where they'd charged 2 x £12. Is it worth pursuing this £24? Has anyone else had any success in reclaiming £12 charges?

If you have used the template letters form here ~~> http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/671-2-letter-preliminary-approach.html you will see the timescale is 14 days, it is also 14 days for the L.B.A

 

I have found through experience it is better to stick to the tried and tested methods.

It is not cause for panic, but, i would advise sticking to the well trodden path ;-)

Both the 10 and 14 days have come and gone, and still no reply from MBNA. I called them today and was told that a letter was "generated" on 30th March but I still haven't received it.

This time, they are getting 14 days and that's all. The operator that I spoke to said that she had been helping out in their billing enquiries department and that they were working their way through all of the claims. MBNA are paying out the difference between the £12 and whatever the charge was. I say "No thanks!" to that. I want my £250 back, not the £118 that this would generate.

I finally received a response from MBNA today. It was their usual "our charges are fair", "you knew when you signed the agreement", but "in the interests of goodwill" ... they offered £120 against the £250 + interest I'm claiming.

 

Well, they can get stuffed. I will be downloading the court forms and getting them to the Sheriff Court next week.

I've got their cheque now and I want to send it back - could somebody point me towards the template letter please? I've looked in the library but didn't see anything.

 

I've printed off the court forms and am unsure what to put down as the reason for the claim. Do I put "unlawful bank charges" or what? I can't see the pictures of the court forms that are posted on the site and I'm guessing that the information I need is there!

Cheers Stevo, but I can't see Scotia's forms. I phoned the court and the lady there said that in Section 4 you put "The Pursuer claims from the Defender the sum of £XXX plus interest plus costs".

 

I have sent MBNA's cheque back to them today.

Cheers Stevo. It's not that I can't find Scotia's thread, I can't see the embedded pictures because of the security settings on my work's computers. :(

 

The Fun Police are afraid we might find/do something on the internet that makes us vaguely happy.

oh i see, thats not very good, if you could see them, then all you would have to do is copy it and change it to your personal details.

I have used it four times, but i dont have hard copy of it, because when you fill out the court forms in .pdf, it doesnt allow you to save them, therefore ive had to type it out everytime.

No point asking if you have access to another PC, you would have tried that already. I guess you couldnt see it if i put it in an email and sent it to you either!? Ill have a think about it

Thanks Stevo. I have nipped round to my uni to use a PC here and I can see the pictures now. I've copied the text into a word document so I can use it again.

 

Do you think it would be worthwhile asking a mod to post my copyable text onto the bottom of Scotia's post to save people having to type it out every time?

It should be editable too - I've just highlighted, copied and pasted some text from your post into a Micro$oft Word document and it went in as editable text.

This is what I have put in all my cases and they have all worked out fine (touch wood) section 4 The pursuer claims from the defender the sumof £---- with interest at the raste of 8% annually from the date of service together with the expenses of bringing this action. On section 7 ( which causes a problem for some people) I put. The pursuer has had a ( bank account or credit card ) with the ---- for several years. During this time there have been a number of high charges because of late payments over limit etc. These charges levied against my account allegedly connevted with " costs involved" constitute " penalty charges" The amount bear no relation to the actual damages incurred. I have tried to get these charges refunded to no avail, therefore this action is necessary. This is a consumer contract therefore --- sheriff court has jurisdiction.

 

 

 

See seperate sheet ( this is where I have a copy of the spreadsheet showing all the costs etc. Hope this might be of help:) Any way best of luck If I can be of any help let me know

I got a letter from MBNA yesterday offering me the charges plus interest! I called them and said if they'd give me the court costs too, I would cancel my court action - but not until I receive their cheque and have cashed it.

 

The guy said they'd issued the cheque for charges + interest, in addition to the first cheque they sent me. When I said I'd sent the first one back (which I did) he said he'd get a new one out to me. They're sending me charges + interest + court fees + £120!!!

 

Result!
