    • Hmmm, interesting point. In my career, that I am retired from now, there were an immense amount of rules and regulations that one had to adhere to by law. The qualification process is rigorous with on going assessments throughout your career and re-certification every 12 months. If you were shown to be not competent in those rules and regulations you could not hold the position and the operational consequences of that could potentially be dire. In the same respect, perhaps a judge who is not conversant in the rules of POFA should not sit in on cases that requires proficiency in that area? I also bow to your considerable knowledge in this area, perhaps I shouldn't be commenting but by doing so I find it helps the learning process. Your last point has just reminded me of something that may help my case, thank you.
    • Just had an email re the my breache in agreement by her rep.   I asked you yesterday if they had asked about her name in the thread being removed.   The issue they have is the Elizabeth turner and genetic pups entry on google.   they knew I did not put it up and told them so in court.  I dnt know how to post on google.   I told them I cannot remove what I did not post.  when i come back here and saw her name gone from threads title, I presumed her reps sought it.   now I get an email saying her names still on google ur breaching the agreement as it’s still on google.

    • How does one obtain the permit? The permit team number is only open between the hours of 9am to 3pm Mon - Fri. It says on the website, To obtain an additional 2 hours, the driver must pay a tariff of £3.00 + booking fees in person at our Security Hut, is that how you get the permit also, from the security hut? What a rigmaroll that would be but maybe just another step to take to try and catch people out?
    • Anotheruser0000 bear in mind that not all Judges are equally versed in the PoFA regulations. Fortunately now most of them are but sometimes a Judge from a higher Court sits in who is well experienced  in Law but not PoFA. and so they sometimes go "offkey" because their knowledge can raise a different set of arguments and solutions. It does seem particularly unfair  when the decision is so  bad . it can also be that in some situations the motorist being a lay person is not sufficiently know ledgeable to be able to counter a Judge's decisions in a way that a barrister could.

    • 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.

Hi I'm also a new member, not a very experienced forum user and struggling to post my initial hello to the group, hopefully this will do it. I have embarked on the initial stages of claiming back bank charges with Halixfax and Lloyds. Currently they are both quoting that they are sorry I have a complaint and will deal with it under the complaints procedure and will reply within 8 weeks.

Should I continue regardless?

Welcome to you both.

Yes the programme highlighted something many of us have known for a long time.

The process of getting the charges back in full and without too many problems relies on a good understanding of the way in which its done.

Reading up as much as possible on our site and following the tried and trusted procedures will assist you to that end.

All you need to do this is here,and others are here too to help you at every step of the way should you need it.

BWFC carry on regardless....8 weeks is their target to resolve it but should not need to be yours !

I had originally asked for my bank statements from Lloyds TSB and when I followed up with a phone call was told they had not received my letter or cheque. They took the phone call as a request and a duly received my statements. I calculated from these what I thought was owed and have sent the letter letter detailing the amounts. However now I have received a summary list from them of charges which is actually more than I have claimed. I am ready to send a lba, but can I change the amount in the letter? Also there are monthly fees (this is for a select account) listed in the summary which I had not claimed for, should I claim for these also? Can anyone help???

Hi BWFC

You can't claim the Select Account fee, as you must have some extras like Mobile Insurance or Breakdown cover with that type of account.

They will probably say no to your claim anyway, so when you send your LBA, amend your charges schedule and send them the amended copy.

This will insure you have given them all, and correct information. Leave them no excuses to have your claim thrown out.

 

Good luck

|I notice you're from my neck of the wood Martin, perhaps we are dealing with the same branch!

 

I am not claiming against Lloyds Tsb but am helping a few who are.I take it that its Hardshaw Street branch ?

 

Uk At is correct......simply revise the schedule and resend.

 

If you have any problems let me know,in particular with the court side.....I am a regular at Rexmore House ......lol

Thanks Aviator and moderator for your help, I will send my lba letter with the revised amount, but won't include the account fee. It is the Hardshaw Branch by the way. Just a waiting game now I suppose. Sure I'll be back for more advice, quite worried about actually taking court action, but determined to carry on.

  • 4 weeks later...

Help. I have sent my lba to Lloys and Halifax. The halifax have again send me a letter saying they will respond by May 14th. Lloyds have not replied at all. Is the best action to ring both and confirm I will be taking action? Or should I just go straight to the court action?

Also I am helping my son to claim from HSBC, but his charges are just labelled charges and then there is a monthly interest fee. I presume the interest is because he has an overdraft. Can this interest be claimed?
