    • Hugo, how are you getting on? the deadlines can creep up on you. It's useful to have a week or two in drafting a defence, so you can understand it for yourself before submitting. Read other like threads for examples and tailor to suit you. Get one drafted and posted (without personal info) and let us take a look
    • OK thx jk2054 I'll go that route, does anybody have any positive reviews of NWNF law firms they've had experience with? I did consider InjuryLawyers4u, but apparently they're more of a broker, & who you end up dealing with can be hit & miss.  Would rather try & get a sharp firm that are on-top of things if possible.   
    • I posted my letter off but over 2 weeks later I've had a visit from one of their reps. I didn't indulge him in any conversation, and I just stated that any such debts are statute-barred and closed the door on him. I was hoping they'd take notice of the letter. Where do I go from here? Thanks
    • I apologise if I was being unclear. Where it currently stands is that they will have it repair, placing scaffolding in our garden for 5 days. They have moved fast, but we will still have to postpone our contractors, meaning, we won't necessarily have the work done in time for the wedding and therefore will incur additional expenses for either a marquee or a wedding venue. They are vehemently against having any kind of liability in any regard but continue repeating that they are legally entitled to use our garden for their repairs (I believe this is true unless the work can be carried out using a cherry picker). The neighbour seems either indifferent or oblivious to the fact they can't reach all of the side of the roof from the space where they can place the scaffolding. They have asked their roofer of choice about using a cherry picker but the roofer has said it wasn't possible. It's not clear whether the roofer doesn't want to use a cherry picker or whether there is an issue with it. They have told us it is a problem that we are installing a gazebo as it will prevent them to access their roof from our garden in the future?!?

    • 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.

MissMoneySpent,

 

Never heard of a Stalemate Letter before. I would imagine that it will be a letter stating that you agree a sum of 50% in full and final settlement ie. you will not pursue them for the rest.

 

Ignore it!! If you haven't already, send them the prelim letter, wait 14 days, LBA letter, wait 14 days and if you haven't got a 100% settlement agreed by then it's time for the County Court Action.

 

It's simple really!! DO NOT AGREE to a 50% settlement. Who would you prefer to have YOUR money, you or them!!!

 

Keep us posted how you get on ...... and Good Luck!

Is it the letter they send if they have dealt with your correspondence as a complaint? It means you can refer the complaint to the Ombudsman. If it is tell them this isn't a complaint, it's a claim and start with preliminary letter.

 

Give yourself some time to read up, there is a lot to take in!

 

Good luck

Sounds like it will be the

 

We have investigated, our charges are fair, other banks charge blah blah blah

 

 

If its in response to your preliminary request send in the LBA if it was in response to the LBA and the time has now elapsed then get it to moneyclaim.

 

Good luck

Just go ahead and claim. When it gets to them offering you money then you add in all other charges placed on your account in the meantime, obviously making sure that everybody knows this. In any case the interest adds up until the day they settle in full.

Just Spoken to Sheena Small, and she basically told me she has spoken to the information complaints commissioner and that microfiche is not held under the data protection act, because it is not held on a computer sytems therefore the act is not relevant, that held on each microfiche is over 200 accounts on each microfiche and and something like 98000 files microfiches that it is a piece of plastic with all this info!!!

 

however she would call their bradford office to find out the staus of my request, i have already sent the Microfuche letter and was calling to find out whether she had recieved it as of yet. Now i'm highly dubious of this and was wondering the best way to proceed, was going to call the the Information Commissioner and find out their stance on the matter

Dear All,

 

I have been away too long and have to put bank charges on hold due other problems, but now ready to take the bank head on, however they are taking me to court over unpaid overdraft repayments. In Light of this would i be able to make a counter claim for my charges at the same time thus creating a case where by my refusal to pay them relates to the banks charges that keep occuring on my account?

 

many thanks

Robertxc had a case like this and that's what he did. However it does mean that the Abbey are in control and can withdraw the claim without giving you a full refund. You could try a belt and braces approach of filing a defence against their claim as well as starting your claim again. Have a search for Robertxc's thread - it was a long one I think and quite an old one plus think about starting your claim again. I suspect you may have to do your preliminary letter and LBA letter again.

 

Can a mod have a look at this just to check my advice please?
