    • Do you have broadband at home? A permanent move to e.g. Sky Glass may not fit with your desire to keep your digibox,, but can you move the items you most want off the digibox? If so, Sky Glass might suit you. You might ask Sky to loan you a “puck” and provide access as an interim measure. another option might be using Sky Go, at least short term, to give you access to some of the Sky programming while awaiting the dish being sorted.
    • £85PCM to sky, what!! why are you paying so much, what did you watch on sky thats not on freeview?  
    • Between yourself and Dave you have produced a very good WS. However if you were to do a harder hitting WS it may be that VCS would be more likely to cancel prior to a hearing. The Contract . VCS [Jake Burgess?] are trying to conflate parking in a car park to driving along a road in order to defend the indefensible. It is well known that "NO Stopping " cannot form a contract as it is prohibitory. VCS know that well as they lose time and again in Court when claiming it is contractual. By mixing up parking with driving they hope to deflect from the fact trying to claim that No Stopping is contractual is tantamount to perjury. No wonder mr Burgess doesn't want to appear in Court. Conflation also disguises the fact that while parking in a car park for a period of time can be interpreted as the acceptance of the contract that is not the case while driving down a road. The Defendant was going to the airport so it is ludicrous to suggest that driving by a No Stopping  sign is tacitly accepting  the  contract -especially as no contract is even being offered. And even if a motorist did not wish to be bound by the so called contract what could they do? Forfeit their flight and still have to stop their car to turn around? Put like that the whole scenario posed by Mr Burgess that the Defendant accepted the contract by driving past the sign is absolutely absurd and indefensible. I certainly would not want to appear in Court defending that statement either. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will do the contract itself later.
    • Yes - ignore. Because of another MET victim today I looked at all our MET cases back to June 2014 ... yes, 10 years. They have never dared take a motorist to court and argue their case before a judge.  They have started the odd court case, but as a means of trying to intimidate the motorist into coughing up, when the motorist defended and refused to give in it was MET who bottled it and discontinued.
    • Unpaid wages should be pretty straightforward if you did the work. Don't be intimidated. You need only show you were due money, and did not get money.   The risk is that they have no money to pay you (and legal fees) - frankly a solicitor maybe be costing them more than your claim is for and I might have expected them to make a commercial decision to settle before this point regardless of the merits of the case.

    • 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.

In light of the new views being taken on the limitation act 1980 I am thinking about going back after the NastyWest for some charges that I lost out on last time. Here's what happened last time, what do you reckon?

 

In Feb 07 after submitting their AQ i received a letter from Cobbetts with a cheque enlcosed. However this cheque was not for the full amount of my claim and they argued in their letter that I could not bring a claim more than 6 years after the date on which the action accrued, and as I issued my claim on 8 jan 07 i was only legally entitled to claim between the periods 8th jan 2001 and 8 Jan 2007.

 

Initially I disputed this fact and returned the chque to them and wrote back to them stating that my claim should be eligible for relief from the effects of the limitations act 1980 under sections 14a and 15b. I also pointed out that my litigation with them had actually begun when I submitted my S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) in October 2006 and my claim was based upon the info they had furnished me with subsequently.

 

However in response to this argument they just sent me back the same cheque again with a letter reiterating their case under the limitation act 1980.

 

At that time I was pretty skint and the money was too tempting so I caved in and banked their cheque.

 

Does anyone think if I were to put in a new claim for the initial early charges that weren't paid last time this would be viable? I did write to the court stating that the claim was settled by agreement!

 

Also I have since accrued new charges which I am going to try claiming.

I would say claim the new charges with the old ones. That way you can still invoke the UTCCR and they will still have the burden of having to reveal their costs before they can even begin to argue about old charges being statute barred.

 

The fact that they told you that the old charges from your previous claim were statute barred means they were admitting that they owed you the money. A gesture of goodwill cannot be time barred..

Hi Gez

 

So do you think I should go after the ones that they bullied me out of getting last time these were for the peroiod Oct 2000 to Jan 2001 and amounted to about £600 ish? I am just concerened that these were initially included in my previous claim which I did accept to a settlement of as the money was useful at the time although I kicked myself afterwards for backing down. I had also informed the court that this claim was settled, so I am not sure about how I could lawfully incorporate these amounts again into a new claim where I would also be claiming for new recent charges and charges pre this period when I get the info from a new SAR i will submit?

Hi

I have just been sent statements going back to 1997 from CAPQUEST who have apparently bought the debt from Halifax. The good thing is we did not know that there were so many charges and with Interest at 8% we are up to £2.5K or thereabouts and the debt was arround £1K. Do you know the rate of interest on a cardcash account! as there is no mention on any of the statements.

 

1993, is even further back! what is CC1 ! anyway, I will now start a thread and perhaps you can give me your thread details so we can help each other. I have been successful on many other charges claims but none as yet over the 6 year period.

 

Keep in touch

Regards

DS

You accepted as settlement for that particular claim. This will be a whole new claim, so yes go for it!

 

Hi Gez

 

So although these charges were incorporated into my old claim but were not paid I could reincorporate them in to my new claim in view of my new understanding of the Limitations Act?

 

Just want to get my head around this properly as I wouldn't want to put myself in a position where the judge could throw my case out!

 

Thanks

I am considering doing a claim against Woolwich for an old account my Husband had back in September 1990. I have statements dating from Sept 1990 to March 1992. Total charges taken was £440.00. Does anyone now what rate of CI interest I can claim?

i thought we just used the current bank rate for CI.

I have claims going back to 1990 as well and was using 18.3% HSBC current OD interest rate

1990 rates would be high as mortgage rates then were something like 15% hate or actually love to think what that would do to the amount claimed on CI

Could you clarify Zootscoot

Hi All, great work done on this thread.

 

I am a bit concerned with the arguments regarding Section 32 (1)(b) of Limitation Act regarding concealment of the true cost of the charges. Would a competent barrister not argue that the opportunity existed for the Claimant to bring forth action regarding the true costs of the charges at various points in time when the charges were applied as opposed to 10 years later. As the Claimant would most likely be aware that charges were debited from the account. So why now would the Claimant contest or seek to verify the validity of the bank's business costs incurred as a result of its breaches 10 years later.

 

I am just wondering if the arguments presented in this thread are cogent enough to defeat the limitation clause. Can someone shed some light if I am missing some critical facts regarding this key point. I have a hearing date set in August over an application to strike out elements of bank charges prior to March 2001.

sansho e-mail today requires a definitive response, notwithstanding Bank Fodder posting 7 April with reliance on Zootscott, incidentally, can't locate sansho posting on this thread?

Fair point, but the fact of the matter is that until recently none of us knew that these charges were unfair, unreasonable and not to mention unlawful. We are meerly asking the judge to make the banks justify them.

Hi,

I sent off a 14 day letter to Natwest yesterday and have now discovered this news!! I only claimed for the last 6 years charges although I have statements showing charges back to 2000, so I have not claimed for approx £350.00. Is it too late to claim? Should I send a revised letter or another letter? Please advise.

 

Thanks

In short,

What they have been concealing is the true nature of the charges.

They have always presented them as just being a recouping of their own legitimate costs involved in dealing with such matters, whilst in fact they have actually been profiting unlawfully from them. This means they have in actual fact been penalties all along.

The fact also, that despite all the publicity, The OFT's report, the countless cases they are choosing to settle, and the fact that they employ legal counsel to advise in such matters..... yet still will not provide disclosure of how the charges are calculated, and still persist in presenting them as a recouping of legitimate expenses (yet everything else indicates otherwise) means that the concealment is ongoing, and so our claims of such are uncontestable.

Any rights to protection under the limitation act are voided by this concealment.

All opinions and advice I offer are purely my own, and are offered without any liability. If unsure seek the help of a licensed professional

...just because something's in print doesn't mean its true.... just look at you Banks T&C's for example !

Debs,

your claim amount is not 'set in stone' until you file in court. Maybe you should send them another letter, informing them of 'new information has come to light...' or similar, and add your earlier charges.
