    • Talking to them does not reset the time limit, although they will probably tell you it does, they'd be lying. Dumbdales are the in-house sols for Lowlife, just the next desk along. If Lowlifes were corresponding with you at your current address then Dumbdales know your address. However, knowing that they are lower than a snake's belly, you would be well advised to send them a letter, informing them of your current address and nothing else. Get 'proof of posting' which is free from the PO counter, don't sign it, simply type your name. That way then they have absolutely no excuse for attempting a back door CCJ.   P.S. Best course of action, IGNORE them, until or unless you get a claim form......you won't.
    • A 'signed for' Letter of Claim has been sent today so they have 14 days from tomorrow... Lets wait and see what happens but i suspect judging by their attitude they wont reply 
    • I am extremely apprehensive about burning our files.... I do not know why, so it is becoming an endless feedback loop. Scared to pull the trigger to speak in the desire not to mess up my file. 
    • Hi All, So brief outline. I have Natwest CC debt £8k last payment i made was 7th November 2018 Not a penny since. So coming up to the 6 year mark. Can't remember when i took out the  credit card would be a few years before everythign hit the fan. Moved house 2020 - updated NatWest as I still have a current account with them. Then Lowells took over from Moorcroft and were writing to me at my current address. I did get a family member to speak to them 3 years ago regarding the debt explained although it may be in my name I didn't rack it up then went contact again. 29th may received an email from overdales saying they were now managing the debt. I have not had any letter yet which i thought is odd?  Couple of questions 1. Does my family member speaking to lowell restart statute barred clock? 2. Do you think overdales aren't writing to me because they will back door CCJ to old address even though Lowells have contacted me at current address never at previous? ( have no proof though stupidly binned all letters  ) Should I write to them and confirm my address just incase? Does this restart statute barred clock? 3. what do you think best course of action is?   Any help/advice is appreciated I am aware they may ramp up the process now due to 7th December being the 6 year mark.   Many Thanks in advance! The threads on here have been super helpful to read.  
    • Hello all, just got this from my bank today.   ” Update on your payment refund As you know we temporarily refunded the amount(s) of £381.98 to your account pending investigation. We’re pleased to confirm that an additional amount of £359.99 has also been refunded to your account by the retailer on 18th March 2024. What will happen next To correct this situation, arrangements will be made on 6th June 2024 to reverse the original refund supplied from us.  Our file in respect of this matter will now be closed, which we trust is satisfactory.”   Not sure what to do as I was previously told if I hear nothing back after a certain date that would be the case closed now it’s been changed to the 6th of June. and as you see I’m not getting a full refund I don’t know wether to contact them again and try to get the £20, or if I even can at this point? Thanks again.

    • 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.

Yes why not ? I repeat if they are unlawful charges then you have a legal right to claim them back, There are some real experts on here. Don;t submit anything until you are absolutely certain you are correct. Scott won £ 35,000 a week or so ago. Its not the amount its whether you can convince the courts of the legalities of your claim. Fortune favours the brave.Good luck.

hi sharpie

 

i personally don't think the amount makes any difference as u r reclaiming unlawful charges does it matter if its £3k £10k £20k £40k it is still an unlawful charge. If the banks thought they could win any of the cases that they have already paid out on they would have defended the cases in court.

 

i know your claim is for pre 6 years which is a different kettle of fish altogether but the amount you r claiming doesn't make any difference at all

 

ill be watching your thread as i was stuffed big time in 94 (SAR in post)called in my overdrafton personal account which resulted in losing our first house

 

im waiting for Tom Brennans case to be finalised b4 i do anything even if its a year as im determined to get my pound of flesh as they had a pound from me in 94

 

revenge is sweet

sharpie,

Got your email, and responded.

Looks like you've got lots of support and help here. Myself included.

Just be careful and have some patience. Don't rush and make mistakes.

Agree with Scott, that the size is quite immaterial to the arguments for and against, as the case law is behind us all. But those with larger claims will need to ensure that everything is totally watertight, as these are the cases they will cherry pick to scrutinise more carefully.

Best regards

Scott,

Just out of interest. Noticed you claim included interest.

What type and at what rate was your interest ?

Guest NATTIE

Sharpgun, the amount you will be claiming, i believe may take you outside small claims(100k maximum), I hope someone can clarify this point as i am not sure is CI will be included in fugure that is submitted.

BOTH, you should be able to get a free half hour with a solicitor. Its imperative that with the size of your claim the bank will be certain to attack it vigourisly and try to find any holes. so it must be water tight.

do u think it will attrack a lot of publicity or more to the point would or should i want any? could it be good or bad to have the publicity

 

it will attract publicity but its up to you whether u remain anonymus, i gave interviews but my name,business name etc remained private, so i would say the choice is yours.

 

all publicity is good news to fight the banks

 

i think parky has good advice regarding tle legal arguement,i wouldn't try the no win no fee guys i would be more inclined to speak to an independent firm specialising in financial matters....

 

Bear in mind this site is a self help group and u keep all the payout...

 

 

only you can make the right decision as its a vast amount of dosh think it through carefully as u have a lot to win also a lot to lose

 

any one else with an opinion please post as im not legally trained and only had 1 claim, so im no expert

 

good luck

the only arguements i can see will be pre 6 years & CI

 

cases have already been won on both of these aspects so as long as u dont make silly mistakes im sure u will win.

 

The banks have everything to lose Possibly billions if they defend in court and lose.....

 

 

Is £100k-£500k alot of money to a bank i think not..........

 

will they risk defending it???????????

 

I think not (my opinion only)

 

My gut feeling is it doesn't matter what size the claim is, if they payout on smaller amount with pre 6 years & CI they should also payout on this claim

Don't forget at the end of the day the bank will be told to fully disclose the trie costs of their charges. So any publicity on such a large amount would put them well under the spot light and they will hate it. I know who the public will support. Why don't you make a prelim enquiry to a news paper who might be willing to back you over legal costs and have sole rights to any story. Just an idea. You have potentially a brilliant case that the judiciary may try to turn into a precident. Lots of choices and decisions to make i am afraid. Only you can have the fina l say.
