    • I'm not sure we were on standard tariffs - I've uploaded as many proofs as I can for the ombudsman - ovo called last night uping the compensation to 100 from 50 pounds for the slip in customer service however they won't acknowledge the the problem them not acknowledging a fault has caused nor are they willing to remedy anything as they won't accept the meter or formula was wrong.   I'd appreciate more details on the economy 7 approach and I'll update the ombudsman with any information you can share. 
    • To re-iterate and highlight my urgent question on this one: The N24 from the court did not include any instructions to submit paperwork 28 days before the date, unlike the N157 received for other smaller claims. Do I have to submit a WS for this court date? Link has!...
    • No, reading the guidance online it says to wait for a letter from the court. Should I wait or submit the directions? BTW, I assume that the directions are a longer version of the particular of claim accompanied by evidence, correct?
    • Thanks for opening, it's been another rough year for my family and I've procastinated a little.. Due to the age of my defaults on this and other accounts (circa 2021), I really need to avoid a CCJ as that will be another 6 years of credit issues. Mediation failed as I played the 'not enough info to make a decision' however during the call for some reason they did offer settlement at 80%, I refused. this has been allocated to small claims track, court date is June 3 and I've received their WS. I'm starting on my WS. They do appear to have provided everything required of them (even if docs could be reconstructions). Not really sure what my argument is anymore but I do want to attend court and see this through. Should a judgement be made against me then I will clear the balance within 30 days and have the CCJ removed - this is still possible isn't it? I'm going to be reading up today and tomorrow and hope you can provide me some guidance in the meantime. Wonder what your advice would be given the documents they have provided? I am now in a position to clear the debt either by lump sum or a few large installments - Is this something i should look into at this late stage? Thanks as always in advance
    • I have now received my SAR. It includes a great deal of information! Is there a time limit on how long account information is kept and/or can be provided to debtors? I have received many account statements which were not previously sent to me. I remember that the creditor should provide explanations of any acronyms and abbreviations that maybe used in the documents. Is this still the case? Also what, if any, are the regulations in regard to adding fees to a debt? Can fees be added to a debt after the court has approved a charge on a property. Perhaps due to the numerous owners of the debt, many payments I made were not properly recorded on the account, some were entered over a year after the payment was made! Following the Legal Charge, I paid every month until my payments were refused. I am trying to compute the over payments, but the addition of fees etc. is confusing me. Any comments and/or help would be appreciated.

    • 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 everyone,this is my second thread.My first is still ongoing against the Halifax.

 

I seem to be banging my head against a brick wall at the moment. I sent my S.A.R away and received only 3 years worth of statements. I sent them an "Incomplete Statement LBA" from the template section.

 

Still nothing from them. Their dadline is up and its time to take things further with them.Ive heard people mention a N1 ? Is this something I can do online or do I need to get paperwork from a court? Has anybody else had to do this? :-x

 

Im seriosly stuck at this point and need advice. Come on guys n gals, help me beat the bank.:D

I'm not entirely sure you can do a MCOL for this as it's enforcing a breach of DPA. i think you're best bet is to go to your local county court to file the claim.

All help is merely my opinion only - please seek legal advice if you need to as I am only qualified in SEN law.

Well i sent my form off to the Information Commissioners today but also thought I would try and ring the number from the original letter acknowledging my S.A.R. 01422 391152.

I rang it full of expectation but all i got was a recorded message stating that S.A.R requests were being dealt with and then it cut me off :-x

Ive still not received my statements and heard nothing from the Information Commissioners so im going to go down the court route.I live in Scotland but all my family are in England.Would I be better off doing a N1 through the english courts? If so, Can the N1 be done online or do you have to take it to the court yourself? All help appreciated

I got my reply from the Information Commissioner today.They basically say that they have been inundated with complaints and that they are writing to the banks on a monthly basis,and sending them batches of complaints.Not holding my breath :rolleyes:

Hi Derek, i had the same trouble with hellifax. I complained to the info comissioner who eventaully fount hem to be in breach of the 6th principle of the data protection act, but they could actually do little other than to slap their wrists and tell them to sort it out.

in the end i started a court action , as seaside lady said you do this with an N1 form, their is guidance in the templates libarray for this particualr course of action.

 

i think it cost me £30, as soon as they had the papers served the statements appeared as if by magic!!

i wasnt able to do this online. Downloaded the hardcopy from the libarray and filled it in. You can do it by post and pay with a cheque, which is what i did, no need to do it in person

sorry for the delay in replying i have been in sweden on business for the last few days

I had filed at court and today I received a letter from the court saying that the bank intended to defend all of the claim and it gave me details of their solicitors, who are based in Bradford.

 

I am also near to finishing a claim against the Halifax.They acknowledged my claim and said they were going to defend that one but I didnt get a letter like the one I got today.

 

This is slightly concerning for me but I guess Im not alone in receiving this kind of letter.

My mother phoned me today to tell me there was a letter from an Optima Legal Services ( I used her address in England as I now live in Scotland). They are defending all of the POC .There only admission is that Im the BOS customer.

I havent got the letter yet as she is sending it on to me.

Has anyone else gone through this with the bank actually filing a defence? What happens now? Any help appreciated.

This does seem to be the way they are dealing with the claims now.

 

When you get your papers, have a look if they are similar to most others...

I received a copy of the banks allocation questionnaire today and they are asking the bank to stay the claim until after the test case with the OFT.Im not sure if the court Im using (Morpeth & Berwick County Court) are granting stay's for these claims.Hopefully not.

Just realised also that the papers from Optima Legal services claims the defendant is Halifax PLC and not BOS or HBOS !!

Hi Derek,

 

You will find that HBOS, BOS and of course Halifax are one and the same in fact I know that even the Abbey are the sister bank of Halifax.
