    • is the home in joint names but this is solely your debt? need far more history to be able to comment if it's paid off and was not just written of by one partly on their books and sold to anther, thus the cra file says £0. dx
    • So, Sunak has managed to get someone to 'volunteer to go to Rwanda hasn't he? .. for just £3000 payment to the person plus 5 years free board and lodging isnt it? - cost to UK taxpayer over £300M+ (300 million quid+) isnt it? - Bargain says Rwanda, especially with all the profit we made privately selling those luxury chalets Bravermann advertised for us   I wonder how many brits would jump at that offer? Thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Lets see, up to 5 years free board and lodging and £3k in my pocket .. I'd go - and like that person - just come back if/when I get bored. First job - off to Botswana for a week to see the elephants.   Of course the paid volunteers going to Botswana are meaningless - Rwanda have REPEATEDLY said they wont take any forcibly trafficked people in breach of international law eh? Have the poops actually got any civil servants to agree to go yet - probably end up as more massive payments to VIPal contractors to go and sit there doing nowt shortly eh?    
    • Hi Wondered if I could get a little advise please. I entered into a commercial lease (3 years) and within a few months I had to leave as the business I was trading with collapsed. I returned the keys to the landlord and explained the situation and no money, also likely to go on benefits but the landlord stuck to their guns. They have now instructed solicitors to send letter before action claiming just over £4000. The lease was mine and so the debt. I know this. I have emailed the solicitors twice to explain I am out of work and that with help from family I could offer a full and final settlement figure of £1500 or £10pw. This was countered by them with an offer to reduce the debt by £400, or pay off the amount over 12 months. I went back with an improved full and final offer of £2500 or £20pw. This has been rejected with the comment 'papers ready to go to court'. I have no hope of paying the £4000 and so it will have to go to court. Pity as I have no debts otherwise but not working is a killer. I wondered if they take me to court, could I ask for mediation? I also think that taking me to court will result in a pretty much nothing per week payment from my benefits. Are companies just pushing ahead with action even if a better offer is on the table? Thanks for your help.
    • Hi all, Many thanks for the advice!

    • 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.

Any Advise please. My son started claiming from Nationwide via a Bank Complaints Co. We sent off the £10 but the company did nothing. We wrote again the standard 1st letter on 14 th March and added on that they had already had the cheque and all the cheque details. (The cheque has been cashed by them)

40 days and nothing.

A total of 3 hours on the phone being put through to every department who say they know nothing and then to an answerphone.

One lady said they had not received the 14th March letter but I handed it in at the branch so I know they had it.

What is best to do now??? I have given them till this evening to ring but don't expect they will.

They are threatening my son with court action over the overdraft which is almost all charges. Keep getting letters from KPR debt recovery. When you ring them they say to ring Nationwide. Nationwide say they have never heard of them??

PLease help before I tear my hair out.:mad:

Yes the cheque was cashed on 26th January and my bank is forwarding a copy of it to me today. I have the template for the IC but is there another template for the financial ombudsman?

We told them yesterday on the phone that if we did not receive a call today then we would take it further. I have prepared a letter drafting out the above to send to Nationwide recorded delivery tomorrow and will put a copy of that to the IC.

Do I send the later to the Swindon address??

TRied the number you kindly passed on but it is an answerphone. Despite leaving 15 messages no one has got back to us. On Tuesday I sent a letter to the data Protection at the Northampton address saying they have breached his rights under DPA etc and included a copy of the cashed cheque which they say they have not received!! On the back of the cheque it clearly shows my son's name and his account number!!! I have an appointment with my branch manager tomorrow to try and stir things up. I sent the letter recorded delivery and gave them 7 days to send the statements.

 

Quesrion...What do I do when the 7 days are up???

Thanks for that Kelly

Just an update...

I have been to see the manageress of my local branch and she says that there is a NO Trace on my sons account which means that that is probably why no statements have been sent. However I can argue that ordinary statements were being sent up to March this year. Anyway I have a new appointment with her on Tuesday with a letter from my son giving my full authority etc and asking for the No Trace to be taken off. She said it has probably gone on if as sometimes happens a postman delivers a letter to the wrong address and it gets sent back. I do not know if this is an excuse but hopefully I shall get the statements on Tuesday and be able to see where we are.

The fight goes on............

Also she said she knew how we felt as she had spent over an hour trying to get someone to take responsibilty for this and had not got anywhere....what hope have we. The area manager was there at the branch also and she says this has now gone down as an official complaint. Seem threatening to close mine and my husbands accounts had some effect!!!

Have finally got the statements!!!! From the branch. They said they had sent the statements originally to the company that my son started using in the first place, who were useless. I emailed the company and they denied having them although I have proof they signed for them. Then Nationwide said they had sent more statements out around the 10th April but I have never received them!! Still at last I have them although they will only cover my son's overdraft and leave him £200 still to pay but at least he will be debt free. Trouble is they have passed the overdraft debt to a debt collection agency so I now await their threatening letters!!

Thank you to all who have helped so far. Will update IF we ever get the money back.

  • 3 weeks later...

Have finally sorted out the statements and done the spreadsheet with the prelim letter and have taken it to the very helpfull Manageress of the local branch who has checked it for me and sent it off. At last I also have a contact department for further queries. So now i wait the 14 days. She says they won;t get it till next Wed due to the Bank Holiday. I don;t expect it to be settled then but at last feel the hardest part is over. ie the 4 month fight for the statements. Claiming back over £1200.

Hello tanglewood!

???...U are asking a Nationwide Branch Manager to help U with your Spreadsheet/Preliminary Letter/Claim???...pmsl...:rolleyes::lol:

Did U NOT see the "Whistleblower" T.V. programme recently???

U 'trust' the Nationwide...even though both U and they KNOW that they have acted unlawfully with the debits from your Son's Flexaccount???

U 'trust' the Nationwide...even though they gave U the runaround, for 4 months, over a simple S.A.R. with which they had a Statutory 40 days to comply with???

U 'trust' the Nationwide...even though THEY have passed your Son's Flexaccount over to a DCA, to recover a debt which primarily consists of unlawful Penalty Charges and their associated Interest Charges and will seek to have a DEFAULT NOTICE placed on your Son's Credit File???

U 'trust' the Nationwide...even though, no doubt, the Branch Manager will advise U, if at all, just to Claim s69 Statutory Interest @ 8%p.a. (...which is calculated as Simple Interest...btw!) when U have to File your Claim at Court. In the meantime, the Nationwide will have been debiting your Son at the Daily Compounded Unauthorised O/D Interest Rate of 24.9%AER.

Try using the following very user-friendly spreadsheet (...v1.9 courtesy of Mindzai) and having 'trust' in yourself!...

Wow since when did I deserve that tirade??

At no time have I said that I trusted the Nationwide!!

 

The lady in question is the one who has had all charges stopped on my son's overdrawn account and stopped it going to the DCA.

 

She is the one who got the statements for me within 24 hours.

 

She is the one who got the area manager down and marked an official complaint from me on the file.

 

She is the one who helped me get the necessary authorisation to look into my sons account and drafted the letter that he had to sign to allow this as the one I had drawn up was not entirely correct.

 

No I did not watch the Whistleblower programme.

 

As far as I am concerned the prelim letter and the spreadsheets have been sent off. I have had confirmation of this.

 

She has given me no advice whatsoever on how to proceed with this or tried in any way to put me off.

 

She was the one who told me that when anyone writes a letter re the charges there are different departments that the claims will go to depending on what the writer quotes. ie SAR etc.which is why I was being given the runaround. I actually sat with her as she made the same phone calls that I had done and watched as she was also pushed from pillar to post as I and everyone here has been.

 

It is out of her hands now.

I do not feel that it is necessary to belittle me on this website.

 

I am really happy to receive constructive help at any time but not this I am afraid.

There are quite a few 'helpful' Customer Service Employees out there.

 

However...

 

In the main, to keep their jobs, Bank Employees are put under extreme pressure by Senior Managers to tow the Corporate Line.

...And in the Case of Nationwide, that is, to Refund the LEAST amount money, to the LEAST amount of 'Members' at the LAST possible moment.

 

To achieve this, there is a deliberate attempt to confuse, deter, be economical with the facts etc etc .

 

Ask yourself this...

 

If what I have posted is untrue, then why have ALL Nationwide Claimants had to endure the Filing their Claim at Court/Complaining to the FOS Charade before Nationwide have Refunded the Claimant???

...and even then, NOT at the TRUE Contractural Interest Rate that they have debited the Claimants Flexaccount, thus unduly enriching Nationwide by an unlawful process!!!

 

 

 

 

 

She has given me no advice whatsoever on how to proceed with this or tried in any way to put me off.
Many Bank Employees are unaware of certain legalities and therefore quote scripted replies.

 

 

 

She was the one who told me that when anyone writes a letter re the charges there are different departments that the claims will go to depending on what the writer quotes. ie S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) etc.which is why I was being given the runaround. I actually sat with her as she made the same phone calls that I had done and watched as she was also pushed from pillar to post as I and everyone here has been.
The general advice is to conduct your Claim via written correspondance only.

Previous posters had advised U to to use the Data Protection Act - Non-Compliance Template Letter.

U chose to ignore that sound advice and pursue matters via your own methods.

 

The advice given to U, was to empower U and for U to retain the initiative in your dealings with Nationwide.

By NOT following the general advice, U allowed yourself to get sucked into a protracted and, no doubt, confusing and upsetting unnecessary extra few months for yourself.

 

 

 

 

It is out of her hands now.

I do not feel that it is necessary to belittle me on this website.

Based on what information U had previously posted, I do NOT feel that I had 'belittled' U in my last post.

What I posted was rhetorically directed in any case.

It is an example of what can happen, if U step off the well trodden SUCCESSFUL path.

 

 

 

I am really happy to receive constructive help at any time but not this I am afraid.
???...Your Son originally, was willing to pay money to a Third Party to conduct his Claim on his behalf.

Obviously, for whatever reason, that DIDN'T work out for him, so he asked his Mummy to do it for him instead.

U have previously been given sound FREE 'constructive help'.

U still chose to do things your own way.

 

When U dug yourself deep into a hole of your own making, why get upset and take things personal when it is pointed out to U???

 

Would U have preferred a 'Blue Peter Badge', for your Son, instead???...:-D

 

CHILL!...and progress your Son's Claim with a little more conviction!...:cool:

Just a quick note re the fact that my son used one of these companies that promise to get your money. This company took my cheque for £10 and sent it off. They then contacted us and said NW had not received it and asked for another £10. I got suspicious and rang my bank. NW HAD cashed the cheque and they sent me a copy. On speaking to this lady at NW she produced a copy of proof that the statements HAD been delivered to this bank company and they HAD in fact signed for it!! When I emailed them and asked for them they still maintained that they had not received them!!

So who do we trust??

I have sent the letters demanding payment with the spreadsheets to NW.

If I do not (and judging by what people write..I won't at this stage) get the refund, I will send the LBA and then court papers as advised.

I understand what you are saying but other than going to her and getting the statements manually last week there was nothing else I could do.

Hours and hours of phone calls and letters did nothing.

Basically all she has done is printed the statements for me. Which is all I wanted at this first stage!!!

Job done. 14 days to wait for the Get Lost reply and then the LBA.

Thanks Tanglewood

I have just received a reply from Nationwide basically telling me to get lost that no monies will be refunded etc. and quotes the impending decision of OFT in the media re these charges.

So....LBA letter now folks???

Update. Since I received the Get Lost you ain't getting any money out of us letter, they have now passed the debt onto a DCA and they have sent a notice of intended litigation and we have til 15062007 to reply.

I have it in mind to send the letter Account In Dispute to Nationwide and cc it to the DCA whilst also sending the LBA as the timescale for that finishes on Wed. Is this correct???

Any advice gratefully received.

There is nothing to say that U have GOT to send your LBA off, bang on the 14 days!

Also read what has recently happened to mars32...

Thanks for that I have read the links you recommended. Basically my son is happy for the refund to go off the overdraft and even stated that in a letter to Nationwide. He owes £1443 and the claim is for £1230. He just wants to get straight.

 

I have typed up an Account in Dispute letter to send to Nationwide with a copy to Moorcroft. Will this hold up the intended litigation from the DCA while I continue to along the LBA lines and court with Nationwide?? They have given my son until 15062007 to pay up or make an offer.

 

However my son is still out of the country and not even on the voters lists! They are threatening baliffs!!

 

The 14 days I referred to ends on Wed and it just happened like that with their letters to us.
