    • They wont take you to court. I'm not sure what they'll do about the letters and if they will or wont send you the letters from their retail prevention company, but you can ignore those letters. You'll be just fine don't worry.
    • Yeah I figured, unlikely I'll need credit anyway mortgage all paid off etc so I'll take that on the chin and learn from the experience. Probably would've beaten that too had I remembered the protocol, first time ever going through the process though sob it wasn't familiar to me  Oh well  
    • This is my slightly amended WS taking on board your previous comments, any suggestions for amendments would be most appreciated.  Thank you for you time.   1.        I am the Defendant in this matter. 2.        The facts in this statement come from my personal knowledge. 3.        I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020. 4.        The alleged Letter of Claim dated 7 January 2020 was served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018, no effort was made to ascertain my correct address. 5.        The Judgement debt was not familiar to me so I began investigations to ascertain what the debt related to and how such a figure had been equated in any event. 6.        I made immediate contact with the Court, the Claimant Solicitors and the Claimants thereafter, asking them to provide me with a copy of the original loan agreement but this was not provided to me.  7.        I sent a Data Subject access Request to Barclays but no agreement was provided – See appendix 1 which details the timeline of communication between myself and Barclaycard as well as copies of correspondence between us. 8.        I do not admit to entering an agreement with Barclaycard in 2000. 9.       The claimant has failed to comply with the additional directions ordered by District Judge Davis and therefore this claim should be automatically struck out.  10.    The claimants have failed to disclose a true executed copy of the original agreement they refer to within the particulars of this claim. They are not entitled to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 12.   The reconstituted standard Barclaycard agreement that the claimant has included in the court bundle does not satisfy any CCA request and so the claimant is and remains in default of my CCA request and therefore unable to enforce the alleged agreement. 13.  The claimants have failed to provide proof the assignment, such as a deed of assignment. 14.  The claimant has failed to provide a statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement 15.   Despite numerous requests to the claimant, I have still not seen any evidence, such as an original agreement or deed of assignment, that substantiates the claimant’s assertion that I owe the debt to the claimant, nor evidence of how the debt was accrued. 16.   As per CPR 1.4(2)(a) the court encourages parties to cooperate with each other in the conduct of proceedings in order to try and save time and costs for the parties and to also save the time and resources of the court however, despite vast attempts at mediation the claimants have been most unreasonable and have remained unwilling to mediate. I believe that the facts stated in this Witness Statement are true.  I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in its truth.

    • 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 have two accounts with a bank named Ulster Bank, owned by the RBS. I used one of the accounts for DD's, standing orders, etc. and the other account was pretty much redundant. I stopped having my wages paid into my account and got myself into quite alot of debt. I have a debt management plan with the CCCS and this is running smoothly. On the first account i am around 900 pounds overdrawn, and just yesterday i received a letter from the bank in relation to my other account claiming the account is 180 pounds overdrawn. I called them today and found that they've been charging my 30 pounds per month because of one fee.

 

What should i do now, i believe that most of this debt, due to admin charges, can be wiped out...am i correct?

 

Thanks in advance

Aaron

You need to tell the bank that you dispute the amount owed - this should hopefully be enough to stop them taking any further immediate action.

 

The follow the proceedures shown in the FAQ section for obtaining the relevant info and reclaiming. You can 'reclaim' even if you have not actually paid it yet, don't be confused by that one.

 

At some point further down the line, you will probably have to disclose the fact you are reclaiming to the CCCS, but they will of course give much clearler advice at that point - I'm not a trained counsellor!

 

So, write to the bank now, disputing the amount you owe, then get your DPA request under way.

 

You are not alone in the situation you have described, and I can tell you from personal experience that when you come out the other side, it's a very nice feeling indeed!

 

Good luck

You will do well to thoroughly read through the FAQ section and then follow the step by step thread in FAQ.

 

Everything you need to know is there and if you get stuck ask in the forum.

From what you have written about the second account, I would say so.

 

The specific details of the first (£900 o/d) is not shown in too much details. All the same, if it is made up largely of charges, then yes again...

Any part of the debt that is down to penalty type charges eg unpaid direct debits, returned DDs, bounced cheques, unauthorised O/D fees etc, plus interest charged on unauthorised overdraft caused by these charges forcing you into O/D, then yes, these are the unlawful charges and you can get them all back...

I received my statements today for both my accounts.

There are an awful lot of irregular account charges around the £10 mark, should i claim these back also, or would these charges be classed as lawful?

Also when adding my charges up, should i combine the charges for both accounts into one claim?

 

Thanks in advance

Did they prove that it cost them £10 because you had an irregular account. I think not. So unless they explained their manual intervention, it is unlawful so I would claim it if I were you. Keep us posted and good luck:)

The only charges you shouldn't reclaim are the type that you pay for special accounts, i.e. £10 per month that gets you special offers / insurance etc etc. Everything else is fair game.

 

What, precisely, are the "2 accounts" you are referring to?

If the two accounts were with the same bank, then one claim should be fine.

 

What do the screenshots show - i.e. what wording describes their manual intervention?

The screenshots only appear to show any times they accessed my account when i called and just recently because i havent used the account because of the amount i owe.

Im guessing i should just ignore these, yeah?

When i get my charges refunded, i understand that i can request payment by cheque. But what way do i stand on paying back the money i owe the bank, i have a debt management plan set up at the minute to pay back the charges.

Would you think that i continue to pay back through the dmp or to pay in full once my my cheque has cleared?

If you are still under any kind of debt plan, even one you administor yourself, then any 'spare' monies should be divided pro-rata amongst your creditors.

 

If you are not, you can choose to pay off what you now (truly) owe, but it is my understanding that only income is to be shared amongst them, not one off payments etc, and as such you would not be obliged to share this out.

I will let you know the outcome when I get my refund, hopefully in the next couple of weeks.

 

My account, handled by a DCA, is approx £650 overdrawn. I fully expect the Halifax to pay this part off first before sending the remainder by cheque, but I'm prepared to fight that all the way - back to court if necessary.
