    • I know dx and thanks again for yours and others help. I was 99.999% certain last payment was over six years ago if not longer.  👍
    • Paragraph 23 – "standard industry practice" – put this in bold type. They are stupid to rely on this and we might as well carry on emphasising how stupid they are. I wonder why they could even have begun to think some kind of compelling argument – "the other boys do it so I do it as well…" Same with paragraph 26   Paragraph 45 – The Defendants have so far been unable to produce any judgements at any level which disagree with the three judgements…  …court, but I would respectfully request…   Just the few amendments above – and I think it's fine. I think you should stick to the format that you are using. This has been used lots of times and has even been applauded by judges for being meticulous and clear. You aren't a professional. Nobody is expecting professional standards and although it's important that you understand exactly what you are doing – you don't really want to come over to the judge that you have done this kind of thing before. As a litigant in person you get a certain licence/leeway from judges and that is helpful to you – especially if you are facing a professional advocate. The way this is laid out is far clearer than the mess that you will get from EVRi. Quite frankly they undermine their own credibility by trying to say that they should win simply because it is "standard industry practice". It wouldn't at all surprise me if EVRi make you a last moment offer of the entire value of your claim partly to avoid judgement and also partly to avoid the embarrassment of having this kind of rubbish exposed in court. If they do happen to do that, then you should make sure that they pay everything. If they suddenly make you an out-of-court offer and this means that they are worried that they are going to lose and so you must make sure that you get every penny – interest, costs – everything you claimed. Finally, if they do make you an out-of-court offer they will try to sign you up to a confidentiality agreement. The answer to that is absolutely – No. It's not part of the claim and if they want to settle then they settle the claim as it stands and don't try add anything on. If they want confidentiality then that will cost an extra £1000. If they don't like it then they can go do the other thing. Once you have made the amendments suggested above – it should be the final version. court,. I don't think we are going to make any more changes. Your next job good to make sure that you are completely familiar with it all. That you understand the arguments. Have you made a court familiarisation visit?
    • just type no need to keep hitting quote... as has already been said, they use their own criteria. if a person is not stated as linked to you on your file then no cant hurt you. not all creditors use every CRA provider, there are only 3 main credit file providers mind, the rest are just 3rd party data sharers. if you already have revolving credit on your file there is no need to apply for anything just 'because' you need to show you can handle money. if you have bank account(s) and a mortgage which you are servicing (paying) then nothing more can improve your score, despite what these 'scam' sites claiml  its all a CON!!

    • 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 sent off my SAR, complete with cheque to Abbey on the 15.3.07, did not do it recorded delivery though,,, stupid mistake.... the cheque has not yet shown up on my account and I have not received any kind of acknowledgment. Bearing in mind that obviously all the Head Offices are probably snowed under with these requests I was thinking of sending a reminder letter (recorded this time) to a local branch, stating the date I originally posted the letter and reminding them of the date they should comply? What does anyone think... So desperate to get this ball rolling !!

You may actually be better off re-sending the check again but cancelling the other one. and this time remember to send it recorded delivery this way they have no excuse and no reason to drag their feet any longer than they are already

 

Hope this helps ;)

Posted the letter to local branch, recorded..... Did not include a second cheque. They should receive it tomorrow. The good thing about sending letters to the branch is that they sign for it the same day, unlike Barclaycard who have not signed for my SAR, which was posted nearly a fortnight ago.... Will keep you posted

ADVICE PLEASE?

 

As stated earlier, I am chasing two SARS, one for recent, the other for pre-6 years. I chased these up with an email to Abbey, and received this in reply. My question here is: If they can tell when my account was closed, and what state the account was in, surely that means that they DO still hold details of the account. By the way I also dispute the fact that the account was closed whilst I still owed them money. I remember paying off that overdraft.... The money they are talking about must be literally pennies.....

Should I re contact them regarding this account, stating that I beleive that they do still hold records of this account.... (I had also asked that if the account records had been destroyed, could they please send to me a certificate of destruction) and if so, how should I word it? All help appreciated here, thank you

 

 

 

has asked if I can respond to your email of 19 April 2007 and after making enquiries with the respective business area dealing with your request, I have sent you a letter and some data in confirmation of what's happening with your request.

Your first request is being administered by our Bradford Office. I can only apologise for the delays you are experiencing, but please accept my assurance that your request is being dealt with as quickly as possible and you will receive the information which has been archived onto microfiche shortly.

Your second request relates to an account that was closed with an outstanding balance in 1999. As Abbey have no legitimate reason to retain the transactional data for more than 6 years, we can confirm that this has been destroyed in line with our retention policy.

I hope the above assists you until you receive my letter and data requested, however if I can be of any further help in the meantime, please contact me directly.

Is there any reason why I could not do two claims against Abbey. The first one now, with the 2004-present details on it, and the second claim from the information I will receive when the microfiched copies arrive?

Hi, yes, start your claim for what you have, Abbey are telling everyone that trying to get information further than 6 years, that the"evidence" has been destroyed. i would send a follow up letter stating that the SAR entitles you to ALL information regarding yourself, including account information and any certificates of destruction/deletion that pertains to any account that you held. Then when they dont cough up, file a complain with the information commissioner

Thank you for getting back to me. I think I will treat my pre 6 years as an entirely different claim (it's another account anyway, I shall call it account A) I will follow your advice though regarding the older account

 

The question I am trying to get answered is should I start my claim with the spreadsheet and statements that I have already received for Account B (£700 approx) and then start a seperate one when I receive June 2004 and backwards microfiche information.

Hi, sorry, i missed that bit out, the answer is that it is up to you, you can either do a claim for the statements that you have and then when this claim has finished (you cant do two claims for the same institution at the same time) or you can wait until you receive all you statements and then do them together, but yes, the pre 6 years statements are a separate argument and one best left till later - hope this helps

That was what I was hoping you would say... I may start the ball rolling now on Account B. Mind you, as I understand it, I can amend my claim at any point until court stage??? (please correct me if I am wrong) so if I sort out my prelim letter tomorrow and then receive the missing statements I could just amend the letter couldn't I?

And while that is underway, I will work hard at trying to get the old statements for Account A

Thank you again Lula

Hi again, yes you can amend you claim at anytim, although it is far easier to do prior to filing at court, in your preliminary letter just say that you reserve the right to amend this amount subject to receiving the missing statements, if you have already filed at court then you would need to complete form N244 and pay a non recoverable fee of £35 to amend your claim

I received my ten pounds back yesterday,,,, made me smile actually, thinking what a cheque FROM Abbey looks like !!

 

I also sent a Letter Before Action SAR reminder yesterday, as 40 days were up 6 days ago, and I am guessing I can double my claim when the other statements come through.

Had a letter this morning, presume it was just a standard letter. LBA has run out and I am ready to file at court... but what does this highlighted paragraph mean? I have not received any letter from Abbey, but they mention cancelling my charges... have I won? should I phone them?

Dear Mrs Standingupformyself

Thank you for your letter dated 25.4.07 about the charges on your bank account, I apologise for the delay in my response. I have now carried out a full investigation on your behalf.

 

I'm sorry you are unhappy with the charges and I understand you would like these refunded. I can confirm the charges were aplied correctly, as you had insufficent available funds at the time.

 

I appreciate your feelings on this matter but we are satisfied that the charges do not contravene the unfair terms in consumer contracts regulations 1999. We also comply with the office of fair trading, in dealing fairly and openly with our customers.

 

When opening your account you were provided with information detailing the ter,s and conditions. We have also sent you regular updates and tariff of charges, which detail the amounts of our charges, I have enclosed a further copy for you.

 

YOu have requested a breakdown of how our charges are apportioned. Unfortunately, I am unable to provide you with the specific information you have requested.

 

I can inform you that the value of a trasaction, which causes you to exceed your agreed overdraft, has no bearing on the amount charged, Should you require details of the specific charges applicable, these are stated in the terms and conditions of your account.

 

The OFT announcement was in relation to Credit Card default charges and not charges related to other types of account, such as bank accounts. This means our current tariff of charges continues to apply.

 

You have asked that any default notices against you in connection with the charges applied to your account, can be removed. We are obliged to share this information on how customers run their accounts, to other financial institutions. This is done through regularly updating the credit reference agencies.

 

As we have cancelled the charges as a GOGW and not due to an Abbey error, I am unable to alter any information held with a credit reference agency, as this information is factual. It is however unlikely that any adverse information has been registered against you in connection with this matter.

Please be assured I have carried out a full investigation for you and I hope you feel I have offered a considered and complete response to all of the issues you've raised. I will keep your file open for the next 8 weeks and if I don't hear from you within that time, I will asuume that everything is resolved and will close your file. If you remain dissatisfied though, the leaflet you'll find with this letter explains your rights and how to take your complaint further within Abbey.
