    • Well we can't predict what the judge will believe. PE will say that they responded in the deadline and you will say they don't. Nobody can tell what a random DJ will decide. However if you go for an OOC settlement you should still be able to get some money
    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • 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, i have recently recieved a copy of my statements for the last 6 years with HSBC, however i am no longer with the robbing b*****ds. Does anyone know roughly what their interest rate is (APR) for the purposes of my spread sheet. Also is their overdraft limits interest free?, as i am unable to gain this information direct from HSBC now i have left.

 

Here's hoping you can help

Hi Molly

 

Have just copied this from HSBC's web page You can get there for yourself - don.t need to be a customer for access to their rates Home: personal, business, online, internet, banking: HSBC Bank UK Good luck - if you need anything more specific that you con't find on their open site let me know

 

 

The Bank Account overdraft rate is 18.3% EAR typical (subject to status). Find out more about our Overdraft Service.

Hi thanks for that.

 

Sorry to sound think, but i need the APR and the website gives me the EAR are they the same? can i use the 18.3% quoted

 

Molly

 

Hi . I used the EAR because that is what they quote on their website. They say it is a more accurate figure. So I think it's OK to use it. They will soon tell you if it is wrong ! Which spreadsheet are you using? I used Mindzai's and found it very easy.

 

Good luck

Hi, thats great i will use the 18.3% then thanks. I also used the Mindzai, and yes found it easy to use, however i am now ready to send and am a little confused, so you may be able to help.

 

I want to claim for Contracual which i assume is the 4th and final tab on the spread sheet? Do i print the whole of this tab to send quoting in my letter only the penalty amount and compound interest amount combined? which would equal £6,027.35 (combined) and leave out the interest paid on penalties, Compound interest paid on interest and combined interest & c.interest (on the right hand side) until raising court claim. I have read the forum for about 3 weeks now, and still dont truly understand. Also i have read that you can only claim up to £5k?

 

Sorry if this sounds confusing

Don't worry it took me weeks to getthings sorted in my head too! You need to print out two sheets from the spreadsheet - the first, blue "Charges and Interest" and the last, green, "C.Interest". In your letter under "What I require" heading you ask for the charges (see total on top of first column on "Charges and Interest sheet), the interest they charged you on this (see total from top of column "interst paid on penalties" on Charges and Interest Sheet) plus the interest you are claiming from them for having your money (see Total interest box from shaded area at very top of Charges and Interest sheet) Overall total should equal amount quoted in "Total Inc Interest " Box at top of Charges and Interest Sheet.

 

With regards to 5 thou limit, there is no such thing. However 5 thousand is the limit of claims that can go through the small claims court - the easier route. But there is debate about whether the £5k limit refers to the charges, or whether it includes the interest you are claiming. The court directions seem to contradict themsleves a bit. I have gone for it - my charges were £2500 + with intesrest it comes to £5000 + but when I hand papers in to court (tomorrow) I will be pointing aout the original claim is £2500, rest being interest, so it should be allocated to small claims.

 

Hope this helps - it is of course only my understanding from reading here :)

Mostyn,

 

Sorry, but just so i'm clear, i am claiming for 3 amounts from the outset

 

Penalties - paid on the account

Total Interest - paid on penalties

Total Interest - owed (in theory) from them having my money over that period

 

Giving me a total to claim of £X

 

And i am able to claim all this from the outset, as i have read numerous sections saying that certain interest can NOT be claimed until raising the court claim??

 

The prelim letter provided in the library prompts for only 2 figures then a total, where as i have 3 and then a total, do i just add an extra line in then total???

 

Sorry to be a pain, but i need to be sure..

Hi ...sorry for delay ..just got back home..and off again shortly....

Yes you claim ALL 3 amounts in your letter to HSBC. as per the schedules you send with your letter.

I think you may be using an older draft letter, it is only recently that people have begun to claim Contractual, compound interest.Try following threads from Bankfodder, HSBCcrusher etc where you will find other draft letters, or just add the extra yourself.Also have a look at BONG vs HSBC Contractual interest 13 year claim Post 47

 

The reference to NOT claiming interest only refers to the court's 8% which you claim at point of submitting claim to the courts IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY CLAIMED Contractual Interest. i.e it's one or the other, but of course CI gives you more, and to many minds justifyably so since it is the interest (compounded) that they have been charging you all this time (also compunded)

At the point of submitting claim to court you can then offer alternatives...Compound interest at the current rate (18.3%)...or at lower rate for lending (am still trying to find this out) or if they do not allow either of these, then the "default" 8% court fixed rate. Just don't mention the 8% to HSBC now...that is your default position if the court does not agree with either of the others.

 

 

Hope this makes sense..am in a rush to get to work ..back here around midnight if it helps

Thanks Mostyn, here is the section adjustment i hope it makes sence, if so i will be sending tomorrow, have a quick read and let me know as soon as you can.

 

Appreciate all your help.

 

I calculate that you have taken £3,919.25 in penalties plus £295.41, which you have charged me in overdraft interest for the sum, which you have also taken. As these charges were debited from my account without my informed consent and, in my opinion, unjustly enrich the bank, I am applying interest to them at your current interest rate taken from your website of 18.3%, compounded annually. This has been applied to each charge through out the last six-years up to and including 23rd December 2005, the date on which I received your last and final charge on my account. The total owed is £6,441.78. I have enclosed a schedule of the charges, which I am claiming with this letter
