    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the xx/xx/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the xx/xx/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, xx/xx/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

    • 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.

Right! Not a very happy bunny.

 

Day 48 of my SAR and I'm still waiting for a year and a half worth of statements. That cheesed off now that I think I'm going to phone them and tell them that I don't just want the 6 years worth but I want all the statements they have for me (it's only another 2 years or so). They shouldn't have kept me waiting.

 

I am right in thinking I can claim further than six years aren't I?

 

Thanks in advance!

Ooohhh!! I'm shaking now!

 

Just phoned Natwest and they've got me sooo angry. Just chased my statements AGAIN and they're re-ordering them for me so whilst I was on the phone I said that if I had to wait all over again, I might as well go further back and have those statements ordered too and she said they don't go back further than 6 years. Now I know thats rubbish and I basically told her that and she got all flustered but stuck to what she was saying. How do I argue it though..?

I've just wrote a letter out to Joyce Tudor stating that I'm not very happy:

Dear Joyce Tudor

RE: Account Number xxxxxxxx, Sort Code xxxxxx

I am writing, regretfully, to complain about the service I have been given regarding my Subject Access Request for my copy statements held by the bank.

 

I forwarded my S.A.R. to yourselves back in March (29th March) and received 4 and a half years of statements only last week, just within the 40 days but I am still waiting for the other year and a half. I understand that these have to be ordered separately and they might take a little longer, but they still should have been received by the 40 days requested.

I have again phoned your Customer Relations Unit and informed them that I still waiting and a lady called Dawn said that she would re-order them for me. I requested that as I am having to wait again, could I have all of the information held sent to me. I believe the account was opened in 1999 so it is only another 2 years worth of statements. She then told me that you do not hold information further than 6 years but I know of this to be incorrect. I understand that you hold information as far as 1991?

 

I have been informed elsewhere that branches have something called the NatWest Archive a notes system from the old NatWest Bank plc days. It was effectively frozen in time on October 2nd 2002. The old system recorded a note automatically when a DD/cheque/SO was returned or whether it was paid even if it took it over the limit. It contains Marketing notes, complaints and a lot more else besides. These notes would go back to 1991. -Sorry Nattie - Copied that from something you wrote but didn't know how else to argue it..

 

I am now considering complaining to the information commissioner about this issue and the fact that the 40 day deadline has been breached.

 

I would now like to ask of you to please forward all detail of bank charges or statements from the date the account was opened to October 2002.

 

Thank you for your time and help with this matter.

 

Dont laugh at my letter - I'm not the best letter writer but I think it says everything I want it to. I don't know how I'll get on getting the older statements because I only initially asked for 6 years.

Go for it skylario........... it's about time they stopped mucking you about and just sent you the info you've requested. Letter looks great to me (although I'm not an expert so don't hold me to it!!). Keep yapping at their heels and hopefully they'll get the info out asap. Good luck, hedgey xxx :p

Day 56. (Sounds like Big Brother!) STILL not received all my statements despite phoning every week and sending letters.

 

Just found the direct line for Joyce Tudor and gave her a ring. A nice man called Andrew Arthur answered and looked into it for me. He says they were never ordered! This patience thing is alright but when they're not even doing anything their end..!

 

He's re-ordered them again for me and they should not take any longer than 10 working days. That'll bring my wait to 70 days!! Not best chuffed so definately going to complain about it. They've took no notice of the time limit they had. :mad:

 

He also said I would only get from 1st March 2001. So I said "err No.." But he stuck to it and said it all depends on each person and each file.. Not everybodies information goes past 6 years. I know this is rubbish and he's said he has requested information from 1999 onwards and it's pot luck basically as to whether I get it. I know this must be untrue but how do you go about arguing it..

 

I just want to get started on my claim and I feel like stopping before I've got going!

 

Anyway. Got the rant out of my system!

Yesterday I received more statements. Still not all of them but I am going to send them the non complience letter and chase those up later.

 

Natwest manage to bodge up again though. They've managed to throw in someone elses' statements, in the middle of mine! Another lady from the the same bank. I'm not too impressed with this and I know this is seriously wrong and the fact that they keep doing this is awful.

 

Has anybody any advice as to where I go with this because I don't want to leave it there. Who do i complain to (apart from Natwest? Because I am soooo going to do that!).

 

Thanks :confused:

Well been busy over the last couple of days. Posted a few letters to the lovely NatWest today. One Prelim and schedule for the charges I know of and have statements for, and a letter to Joyce Tudor (LBA) asking for ALL the statements I requested in March, as I still haven't received them. Also a seperate letter letting them know that I have somone elses statements and I find it disgusting and what do they suggest I do with them?

 

See where we go from here. With the extra statements I received this weekend, my claim has gone up to £800. Not much compared to some of the claims on here but it's definately going to help me.

  • 4 weeks later...

Hello all.

 

Just wanted to update.

 

I've recently sent my Prelim and had no responce. Then I sent my LBA which runs out on Weds. I want to phone them though because when I sent my Prelim, I also sent a seperate letter informing them that I had someone elses' statements (over 3 weeks ago). They've never replied to it so I'm going to complain about that and chase my claim.

 

If I get no joy about my claim what is the next stage? Court + 8% interest? Just want to make sure I know what I'm talking about before I phone them...

 

Thanks

Well. Just phoned Natwest and they were no hope what so ever. Lots of awkward silences... They say that they are taking 8 weeks for a claim to go through and I said sorry no it's 2 week per letter and the deadline its this wednesday. She said no. I said I'll be filing for court on Thursday.

 

If they pulled their finger out a little bit more they would save loads of money. It looks as though I'll be claiming the 8% interest too soon. I'd have been happy with the charges because I've seen a bargain holiday but I dont want to book it if I wont have the money... GRRR

 

I am going to stick to my deadlines though. I know and understand that they are busy but I want my dosh!

 

The wait continues...

absolutly, work to your time scale not theirs! it's not your fault if they don't have enough staff to do with the problems they've created in the first place by taking all our money unlawfully ;)

Had a letter from Stuart Higley today saying the claim will take 6-7 weeks. I know we always say stick to your own deadlines but would this look like I'm being pushy if I got to the court stage, with Natwest saying they haven't got the time and letting us know..? Or would it look like a delaying tactic on their part?

 

I can start the court stuff on Thursday and I think I'm getting itchy feet.

6-7 weeks is how long it takes to go throug their complaints procdure. You are not making a complaint - youwant your money back. It's not your problem that NatWest are too mean to employ enough staff to keep up with demand.

Could someone help me please..?

 

Just looking at the Court stuff and could anyone advise which option might be the best for me. I was going to do the MCOL but then I read that they are routinely being challenged by the banks. My claim with 8% interest is now just over £1000. Shall I go ahead with the MCOL or go for the N1...?

 

Thanks :confused:

Go down the N1 local court route. As soon as Nat West submit a defence your claim will be moved to your local court anyway. It is easier to submit your charge spreadsheet with your N1. On MCOL you have to send it under seperate cover. Good luck.

I don't think it makes much difference. The banks aren't challenging MCOL, it's just that there isn't much room on the form and nowhere to attach your schedule. That means that Cobbetts at least use the opportunity to try and pour scorn on your claim.

 

Also, once the banks enters a defence, the case gets moved to your local court anyway. That bit of the process can add a couple of weeks to the whole process.

 

I have done several claims and always used the N1 route - but then i only live 5 minutes walk from the court.

 

You pays you rmoney and takes your choice (they cost the same!)

Please do not be worried to ask any questions however silly they seem. The Consumer Action Group has over 150,000 people as registered users and has helped over 8,500 people to reclaim over £13,500,000. So we can help you.

There you go.;)

Thank you...

 

well here's another question then:

 

How much will my court costs be? My charges are £832 and interest is £204. So, do I add them both together or just use the charges amount to work it out?

 

ie, will it fall into the

 

£500.01 - £1,000

£80

or

£1,000.01 - £5,000

£120

 

 

Thanks again!
