    • Well we can't predict what the judge will believe. PE will say that they responded in the deadline and you will say they don't. Nobody can tell what a random DJ will decide. However if you go for an OOC settlement you should still be able to get some money
    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • 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.

Pweeeze Help! I have had an HSBC Current account for over 10yrs now- I also had until January an HSBC Gold Card with a £6000 credit limit. In November I had a serious car accident and went over my limit and in arrears by 2 months with card payment. On the 19th Jan 2007 I informed HSBC through thir call centre in India that a £6000 payment had been made and enquired with a " Manager " in card services if the Card was still active and no limitations have been placed on the card. The response from the manager was the cards ok nothing to worry about, just don't use the card for 3 days until payment has cleared ( 19th Jan 2007 ) on the 22nd Jan payment cleared and the balance was reduced to £520. On the 25th Jan I tried to use the card and It was declined. The card and account had been suspended. Sneeky F*****S " we've got your money now we're suspending your card. I'm told the decision was taken at "BRANCH " level to suspend the card.

I of course wrote asking them to explain all of this .... to date I have has 2 letters from HSBC all template letters telling me I can apply for a new Gold card in 3 months - I am also in the process of claiming £1,700 in bank charges and in dispute with them on their refusal to send me out a new standing order form so that I can send it to my new bank to set up payment for my personal loan which I have with them.

They claim they need security thats why they refuse to change payment method on the loan account. I have informed them that they have no security anyway as my monthly wages as from the end of the month willbe paid into my new account. Can anyone shed some light on the above some advice would be greatful for a virgin posteee..... Many thanks

first of all, welcome to the forum and i hope you've recovered well after your accident.

did you get any of the above in writing? they're unbelievable aren't they! try writing a letter to the ombudsman about their refusal to set up a standing order and the way that you have been treated.

as for the claim for 1700 - where are you in the process of claiming them back? let us know and we can follow your thread.

good luck

If i've been helpful in any way....then tip my scales over there!

I got a new standing order set up for my hsbc loan from the new bank... hsbc hated it.

I got the new bank to set it up, no probs. From time to time I get nusance calls "you appear to have not paid.... oh, I see you have paid".

HSBC are not nice people. (The bank that is, not the staff)

A couple of years back I asked for a temporary overdraft of £150.00 for 1 week. HSBC said they would have to do a credit check on me (although I had an account with them for about 5 years at the time with salary going in every month). They said it would take about a week for a decision! My boyfriend offered to lend me the money so I called HSBC and told them not to bother and that I had been given the money from elsewhere (alluding to the possibility that it was another bank). They were making notes and actually asked me who the other bank was so they could make a note of that, which I loved. I told them it was absolutely none of their business and I took offence to the question. They really aren't nice people!

thank you all for responding to my comments- Currently with my bank charge situation I have just sent off a registered letter to Canada Square requesting payment of £ 1700, I have stated that a "Goodwill Gesture" or an offer of a lower amount will be ignored.

The situation with regard to HSBC not willing to alter S/O to my new bank account - this is one im looking into- When I called them today they said that the loan was on condition that I had my wages payed into them every month. I stated to them that the contract which I signed in 2004 for the personal loan did not state anywhere that monthly wages must be paid into my current account.

Also....... Back in FEB 2006 I got a phone call from HSBC offering me to change my current account to their new BANK ACCOUNT PLUS - this was done oever the telephone and a few days later I received all the new terms and conditions as well as the membership card for my travel insurance etc etc and all the other bumf they sent in the post. It was only recently that I have realised that the BANK ACCOUNT PLUS was never activated. I was under the impression that the £27.50 which appeared on my account was made up of thir £12.95 monthly fee for this type of account. They have confirmed that this account was supplied by them but never activated by their call centre. The saga with HSBC goes on .............

Hi Everyone, please be aware that HSBC have been having trouble with the information they send to the 3 big Credit Ref Agencies. Apparently their " Computers" are not talking to the relevant computers at the CRA's

So there are lots of incorrect entries on files. eg: if you have been behind with a payment with HSBC Loan, Credit card - say in december it will still show as of todays date that you are still behind with payments. it will also show on your file an incorret balance.for expample if you have made three payments to them for a loan/card from december it will not show this information.

Even if you are not behind with a loan payment or credit card payment with them it will still show an incorrect balance as they have been unable in a lot of cases to connect their Computers to the CRa's computers - so my advice would be to get a copy of your files and check everything from HSBC - you thoughts on this would be great- cheers ....

Can anyone help ? I have successfull asked and got all information from HSBC with regard to the information they hold on me, however there seem to be some things missing.

Can anyone tell me is there a different section of the DPA that I can access to get them compelled to send me information with regard to internal messages that different dept send each other with ref to different complaints etc or can compel them to send me a copy of all their recorded telephone converstaons ? please help

The recent info that was sent to me under Subject Access has not included any internal memos or anything relation to telephone calls I have made to them. This information would be beneficial to me as I am currently in dispute with them over thei decision to closed my GOLD CARD Account even though the Balance of £6500.00 has been paid - The decision aparently was taken at branch level app.... although prior to me finding that they had cancelled the card 5 days before India ( call centre ) card services told me the card was still active and thanked me for my £6000 payment. Since then they have been nothing but obstructive and I cannot pin thm down as to who took what descision and why. Have got 2 computersed letters to date. and they have not responded to my 3rd.

  • 5 weeks later...

I sent off my request for repayment on the 21st March 2007 (recorded delivery) - the bank did recieve this and gave them 14 days to respond- gues what no response. they said on the phone today that a letter was sent out to me however, I did not receive it. I then advised them that a LBA dated the 10th April 2007 sent recorded delivery was sent to them - gues what they say they never received it.... I told em that I have proof they received it.

Anyways I told them on the phone today that they have just a few days left to respond to my LBA - they then said they have 8 weeks to proess the matter , can somene tell me what do I do next after their 14 days are up and no response to the LBA - Do I go straight to submitting a claim ???

Yes, if you used the LBA template from this site it says that’s exactly what you will do so do it. If HSBC haven’t made an offer (and they don’t with most people) I don’t think you have an alternative.

I recommend you register on the MCOL site and start to enter your claim details, it allows you to log off and on to edit and add your information so you can take a few days to make sure everything is right before the day when you submit it.

also, just making sure - your charges list is in a spreadsheet format - yes!

no sending statements - and your s/s will need to be done before you file to get the 8% interest which you will add to your claim when you do file.

 

this thread will be very useful to you when doing your mcol:

Getting MCOL Right

 

also, i will send you my particulars as another example for your claim.

this is the only tricky part - getting what you need to say into a limited space - but you can do it - hundreds have.

 

don't fall for any of their stalling tactics - 14 days after your lba - file your claim.

Go for the judgement, but keep an eye on your claim, HSBC may still try and go for a stay of proceedings. Give your court a ring on Friday in order to see if a stay has been applied for.

A prudent question is one-half of wisdom.

D.G has until monday 17th sep to submit thei AQ or their defence will be struck out. Low and behold I received the FIRST ever letter this morning from DG solicitors going on about OFT test case and saying that they would be applying to the court for a stay pending outcome etc etc.

So Should I send in a N244 and hope for the best asking for the stay to be removed?

HSBC have applied to the court for a stay of proceedings - they previously FORGOT to submit their AQ by the allocated time which the court was none too pleased about. I have submited a N244 application along with a letter to the judge pleading the unfairness etc etc ( got template from library) I am now told that a hearing is to take place on the 19th Nov to hear HSBC application for Stay of Proceedings. ( Im out of the country on holidays ) can I ask the court to change this date as it doesn't suit me and If another date is approved what papers if any should I take to the court on the day ? many thanks in advance everyone.
