    • 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.

Hi

 

Just received 6 years worth of statements:

 

A few points that are confsduing me:

 

1/ They appear to have skipped 14 months on the statements? Do I phone and ask for these again or write another letter?

 

2/ How do I work out the interest they have charged me for going over my overdraft limit? And is it onloy interest due to going over the overdraft limit or any other interest? I have downloaded the excel spreadsheet and I assume I basically have to enter all charges, the dates and the reason form the bank etc? Is it interest debited that I am concerned with?

 

3/Do you claim for charges that they have refunded?

 

4/ I noticed a few years ago around about 2002 they charged me ammounts like £2.50 and £12 and £10? Do I claim for all these as well?

 

Many Thanks for your help in advance. I just want to make sure I don't claim for something that will hinder my claim!

 

Finally, what do I do next?

1/ They appear to have skipped 14 months on the statements? Do I phone and ask for these again or write another letter?

 

Wait for the next post, they may have got seperated in transit.

 

They normally send them out 5 per envelope. If you're missing 5 or 10 pages then that could be why. They also number the pages, making it easier for you to check just what's missing.

 

If you don't get them within a couple of days then phone and let them know. They will have been printed all in one go, they wouldn't mess about taking a few months out.

 

On my statements it was easy to find the additional interest, as it was always given with 'as advised' at the side. I have added those onto my claim. There are other interest entries which are part of the normal banking system, but I didn't include those.

 

If they've refunded a charge then you can't really claim it back?

 

As long as they have put the smaller amounts in under the usual 'charges as advised' then put them into your claim.

 

I left point 2 until last - if you're using the spreadsheet then just put everything into that and see what your total is, that's what you need to claim. Ignore the 8% column for now as you cannot claim this until court stage. Send them the letter requesting refund of charges based on the actual total.

 

Mine went off at the start of last week and I've had an offer today...

Might be worth phoning to ask - try Customer Relations on 08457 253519. I had taken it there were pages missing, but if there's a jump like that then there must be a reason for it

My initial letter to the Halifax requesting 6 years of statements wa son 23rd November 2006. To date they have sebnt me

 

They have so far sent me four packages and numerous subsequent extracts with the same 6 years worth of duplicate statements (that’s nearly 600 pages which you have been able to provide me with for no cost or penalty to myself) but despite repeated further requests via letter and telephone they have failed to provide me with the statements that are missing.

 

I find this absolutely infuriating that an organization of such size and stature cannot efficiently complete this request?

 

The Halifax is quick to charge fees which they apply to your account in relation to direct debit refusals, exceeding overdraft limits and so forth which are deemed unlawful at Common Law, Statute and recent consumer regulations.

 

I have now been waiting over 6 weeks for this information which is still incomplete and I have given them adequate time under the data protection act to forward this information to me, yet they give us customers no leeway or grace period to bring their account into order before making penalty charges.

There appears to be a very serious problem with my situation wherby statements dates appear to be missing:

 

On every statemtn they have sent me after the entry for 31 Jan 2003, the next entry is 29 October 2003. That is 9 months of information pertaining to my account that is missing.

 

Likewise immediately following the entry 31 Jan 2005 the next entry is 1 Feb 2006. Again all entries between these dates are missing. That is a further 1 year of information pertaining to my account that is missing.

 

After repeated phomne calls, letters and visits to my branch noone in the Halifax can find these missing dates therefore I cannot finalise my claim spreadsheet as I do not know how many charges there are for these periods? Nor do the Halifax!

 

I would have expected as a measure of good quality control, that whoever was dealing with my request would have been able to see immediately that the entries on my account between these dates are clearly MISSING and respond accordingly.

 

I am frankly shocked that I have had to request this information now repeatedly by letter, phone call and visits to my branch yet no one has to date been able to understand this simple request for this missing information.

 

Clearly whoever has dealt with these requests has forwarded them to the business management centre (where the statements are printed by computer) and someone has entered the dates and requested that these statements are ordered whilst never actually checking that the information between the dates is present on the statements, before sending them out to me.

 

Tp date I am no further on and have filed numerous complaints with the Halifax. When it is resolved this will surely give me further bartering power to reclaim my charges as they have clearly made some serouos mistakles with my account history it would seem.

40 days have passed now on the 2nd January. How do I file a complaint with the information commisioner/financial ombudsman?

 

Sorry for the long post but the history is necessary so people understand...

  • 1 month later...

Would like to know what to do now basically. Sent in my letter before action with a schedule fo the charges.

 

That was 2 weeks ago and have had no response from the bank.

 

I had an intial response which was the standard customer service letter saying they would endeavour to deal with my queries in 4 weeks.

 

What should I do now? Do I start a claim? Do I contact the bank with another letter (can't find one in the templates?)

 

I am in Northern ireland and my claim is over £1000. Not sure if the system is the same here as in Scotland or England?

 

Please advise.

 

Thanks in advance!

Hiya Lutecia,

 

If you have sent prelim and lba then the next step is filing at court.

 

I thought this might be useful for you as you are in ireland..

Do I calculate the 8% interest over the 6 years of charges up to the date of the claim or is it only from when I sent the initial letter to the Halifax asking for the money back? If its 6 years than thats nearly 2250 days multiplied by the daily interest rate for my claim....!

 

Confused?

 

Thanks in advance!

I was gonna post this same question.Little confused about it.For example :

unpaid direct debit = £28 charge

days since offence = 2189

8% interest = £26.97

 

Is that correct?.That is what i get in the spread sheet.Am i claiming the interest on each charge??

Also i am due to send of the LBA tomorrow and it states in the template that the 8% has added to the charges.Can i state that i am claiming the interest from this point or would that be at the next stage if i start court proceedings.ie: when issuing the 28 day notice.

 

thanks in advance

 

Andy

Use the spreadsheets! Its since the 'Date of Offence'. See here: http://www.cag-files.co.uk/barracad/Spreadsheets/England/Simple-charges-calc.xls

 

I did use the spreadsheets to claculate all my charges but you don't add the court interest of 8% until you file your claim. Thats my query. Whjat is the 8% Court Interest on Penalties and how far back does it apply?

Yes the interest is from the day of your first charge.

But that comes to (over 6 years of charges) multiplying the daily rate for my claim of £0.24 by 2256 (01/01/01 - today's date) days to nearly £541...???!!!

 

Do you take the al the charges for example £1000 and work out the daily rate and then multiply that by the total number of days since the first charge or do you have to work out each charge seperately form the date when it became owing?

Share on other sites

From the spreadsheet, you put the total charges in the Prelim letter. Once you claim at court, you add on the 8% which is calculated in the next column. There is no interest to claim at any other stage (unless you're talking about "interest debited - notified last month". There are calculations to work out which proportion of this you can claim back, but its complicated)

I'm assuming you're using the "England - Simple (Excel)" one? Check that these formulae are in place:

 

Days since offence: =DATEDIF(D9,NOW(),"D")

 

Interest 8% APR: =(C9*0.00022)*E9

 

When you pu the amount and the date in it should automatically populate in the interest cells.

Please tell me how you went about it :confused:

 

We can't use MCONline over here and because Halifax is registered in England, only English, Scottish and Welsh customers can file a claim directly form the mainland...:-(

 

I filed a claim with NI Courts Service who wrote back to me saying they would have to act on my behalf which would take longer to get a decree.

 

Is there any other way to do it if you don't have an address on the mainland?

 

Also do you have to provide the court service with a copy of the schedule of charges etc?

 

Thanks in advance...:cool:

Thanks mate!

 

I have sent back my signed form requesting that NI Courts Service act on my behalf. When they receive that they will process the documents for service and like you say Halifax wil have 6 weeks to respond! I didn't realise that they had to come here. Its the judges discretion though whether or not he awards the claim in our favor. I imagine not many courts here have heard cases liek this yet? Wil they still decide in our favour?
