    • Small boat crossing numbers in last 7 days much more than the planned number to be sent to Rwanda. Small boat arrivals – last 7 days - GOV.UK WWW.GOV.UK These migrants obviously believe that being sent to Rwanda is not a consideration when they are aware of other migrants having died making the English channel crossing. If Rwanda was going to receive thousands of migrants, then it probably would be a deterrent to some. But the threat of sending 300 migrants to Rwanda is just not going to make any difference.

    • Write to the IPC complaining that UKPC have not observed the requirements of PoFA . IPC  Waterside House, Macclesfield SK10 9NR Dear IPC, I am writing to complain about a serious breach of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 by UKPCM. I feel that as it is more a breach of the Act rather than not just  complying with your Code of Practice which is why I am bypassing your operator. Should you decide to insist that I first complain to your operator, I will instead pass over my complaint to the ICO and the DVLA . My story starts with being issued a windscreen PCN on 8/3/24 which was almost immediately removed and a second  PCN was then  sent by post on 13/3/24  [deemed delivered 15/3/24] which I did not receive and had to send an sar to have that particular mess revealed later  but that is not the reason for my complaint. UKPC then sent a Keeper Liability Notice dated 12/4/24 warning me that as 28 days have now elapsed, I as keeper am now liable for the charge.  This is in direct contravention of PoFA since the keeper does not become liable to pay until the day after the original PCN is deemed to have been given which would have been 13/4/24 -a Saturday ]. Not only does it not comply with PoFA but it fails to adhere to your Code of Practice and is in breach of their agreement with the DVLA. You will be aware that this is not the first time that UKPC have fallen foul of the DVLA and presumably yourselves. I have included copies of both Notices for information. You will realise the seriousness of this situation if this is standard practice from the UKPC to all motorists or just those where windscreen tickets are involved since the Law regarding PoFA is being abused and is unfair to misguide motorists. I await your  response which I understand will usually be within a week. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I would think that should be sufficient for the IPC to cancel your PCN though  you should await comments from the Site team before sending your complaint. Don't forget to include both PCNs.  
    • Hi DX, Sorry, fell asleep as I was up all night last night writing that statement. Yes, I attached the rest of the witness statement on post 50, bottom of webpage 2. That's the important part.  It looks like the lawyer who wrote Erudio's Witness statement does not work for them any more. So, I'll have another lawyer representing instead. Not sure if I can use Andy's hearsay argument verbally if that happens.... I did not put it in writing. Apart from not sending deferral forms, my main argument is that in 2014 Erudio fixed some arrears mistake that SLC made and then in 2018 they did the same mistake, sent me confusing letters. What is the legal defence when they send you confusing material?

    • 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.

well i thought that too but as they're seperate accounts & you're only claiming on one it shouldnt affect the other .

 

seen advice on here before where people have had loans, mortgages, etc with the same bank & have been told it shouldnt make a difference.

 

would like someone else to confirm this.

 

other option is to open another account completely away from the HSBC empire.

I have looked into opening another separate account else where, but as im serving overseas im at a loss as to who to go with... they all want a list of 5 years of uk addresses and my last 3 postings have had a BFPO address so dont think anyone will go for that....so i will stick with first direct and hopefully it will be ok.....

thanks for you advice pinkdutchess, i have printed off letter number 2 threatening the legal action etc so will be posting that first thing tomorrow....

Morning everyone,

update on whats happening with my claim.

we have sent the 2nd letters and they were signed for on the 18th May at HSBC.

so now do we sit and wait? we can't file with the court because we are posted overseas in Cyprus and havent got a UK address.

Do I make any sort of contact in the next 8 weeks or just sit tight and wait and see what happens... I have been following other folks stories on the MSE site and those that chose not to go down the court route are getting offers in the 8 week time scale which we would be happy with.

I have also transfered my wages so they are now due to be paid into my other account and Ive cancelled all the direct debits out of HSBC.

Also forgot to ask, I have just checked my online statement with HSBC and they have charged me £25 for the cancelled Direct Debit and another £75 for account fees plus £38 interest. These are not included in my bank charges claim, do i have to do another claim? Any advice

Thanks in Advance

i see your problem - how long before you return to the uk?

do you not have someone here who's addy you could use - it is just a matter of shuffling some papers back and forth to you. we've told peeps before that it is ok to file if you have someone whose addy you can use.

if you want to wait out the 8 weeks that they say they will take to look into your claim - that's ok too - and as you say - sometimes they get an offer about that time.

as for the new charges - as you haven't filed with the court - you can quite rightly just keep adding them on to your claim - you might send whomever sent you the "we are looking into it" letter an updated schedule of charges whenever you add new ones on.

here's one little warning - don't just add the interest from your statements onto the charges list - that would be incorrect as the interest debits go on to the list either partially, all, or not at all - this can only be determined by putting the whole list of charges onto the advanced spreadsheet - by putting the balance at the time of the interest debit into the advanced s/s, it will determine what portion, if any, of the overdraft interest you can add to the list of charges - but don't just plop them on there in total - that would mess up your claim. so, you might try the advanced spreadsheet to see how much it would add to your claim or you can just leave the interest debits from your statements off your claim alltogether. the bank won't give you the 8% interest (which you would be asking for once you file in the court) so, you are just as well off sending them an updated list of charges - noting the date (oldest first), what they call the charge, and the amount with a total at the bottom. don't be afraid to add on all new ones that come through and keep sending them to the same person - saying "please find my newly updated and current list of charges which I am asking to be refunded to me" using the reference number they will have no doubt sent to keep updating your stuff - and in any letters - refer to your first letter of xx/xx/xx ref: xxxxxxxxx so it doesn't go to the bottom of some pile but keeps where it was.

 

ok with that?

ok, well in that case looks like you are sort of stuck waiting for them to reply and in that case you may want to be a bit more proactive - we had a very determined lady on here in february - determined to get her money without filing a claim - here's her story:

BatterseaCassie v HSBC (multipage.gif1 2 3)

and how she did it. letters and all.

good luck

me again,

just another quick point, when sending the revised list of charges I havent got a reference number as the first letter for the joint account was never acknowledged, only received a "colin" letter for my wife's account even though they were both sent together... shall i hang on to see if the latest letter is responded too?

thanks again

yes i have had a read of the link.. think thats the best and only option for us really.

Does the "8 week" time scale start from the original letter or the last letter we have just sent?

and should i make any other contact via email say once a week just to let them know we are still about ... don't really want to call them cos it will cost a fortune calling from Cyprus...its a pity i cant Skype them:D

i think it's what you feel best - as you are sort of doing your own thing - you do what feels right for you. it's not the normal way of going on - but yours is special circumstances - so going your own way seems best. just use hers as a sort of template - without the phone calls - use e-mail when she used telephone. let us know how you get on.

I always thought UK millitary bases overseas were deemed to be british territory i.e. part of the UK and governed by UK law therefore as far as the british legal system is concerned you still in the UK.

 

Might be worth having a word with your CO to see if he can confirm or otherwise what the legal position is out there. I'm sure your not the only person in the forces who has had cause to use the County Court system.

 

I wonder if Rob the Viking knows? I think he is/was in the Navy or Air Force.

Hi Pete,

we are classed as part of the uk but because our postal address is BFPO it isnt recognised as a UK address...as for speaking to the CO ... afraid cant do that .. we have chain of command and im way down on the list... we will go down the same route as cassie has gone and prepared for the wait... we have dug our trench and got our rations and brew kit,so we will be fine:)

me again,

sorry but it's abit of a "rant" posting today...

pay went into new account aok, checked on HSBC and the standing order for the loan (which we cancelled online on 15.5.07) had been paid!! pushing us over the overdraft even more! I called HSBC and they said you can't cancel a loan standing order, i said then why did it allow me to do so online and gave me confirmation this had been done... so now i will be charged yet again!! and I asked if it will be recalled like the Bank of Scotland loan was last month and they said no!! so why cancel that one and charge me £25 and let their own go through....the young chap on the phone despite me telling him at least 3 times Im british forces overseas in Cyprus, kept saying i can only cancel the s/o if i go into the my branch! .... so at the minute im banging my head against the wall waiting for them to call me back with regards to what can be done....sorry for the rant....

oh for an easy life;)

heidi daniels -

so have just got off the phone and I said that I'm waiting for a reply to my letters requesting my bank charges back and was told an offer letter has been sent out on the 23rd June!! so if that's correct its exactly 8 weeks since i started the claim!!

Trying not to get too worked up as knowing my luck it will be an offer of £10! lol
