    • Yes of course. That's why it says cc:: BIg Motoring World at the bottom. Don't imagine that this solves the issue. It doesn't. He not have to force the finance company and big motoring world to accept the rejection to give your money back. I suggest that you get the letter off tomorrow. And let us know what you hear but on Friday you should then send a threat to the finance company.   Have a look what I have said here about your options and read the whole thread as well.  
    • Been perusing the actual figures on the polls above wondering where the '16% claimed for deform comes from? I understand that there are 'weighted' end results based on secret calculations ...   Probably going to repeat this later, but remember that the ukip/brexit/reform/deform party has ALWAYS had poll speculation FAR better than their actual  performance at elections - by large margins. SO: The labor and Tory votes come largely from simply the people who say they will vote for them - sorted Lab 43% Tory 20%, with maybe another small 1-2% coming from the weightings of the 'not sures' Greens largely get what is declared from 'other' , although with another declared green bit from the 'pressed' question   So as the share of the voting displayed in 'other' granted to reform/deform is around 11%, where does the '16% too often being reported come from? Seems that reform has been granted as beneficiary of effectively ALL the don't knows and wont says, who when pressed didn't actually declare for someone else ... effectively adding 40%+ to their reported polling % - rather strange given their consistent under-performance compared to polling - or perhaps that is the cause of the higher rating eh?   Now I admit the possibility (probability?) of wingers being ashamed of declaring their support for the yuckey lemon end of the spectrum ... but surely  that should affect the 'Torys as well? Maybe the statisticians have simply weighted in that deform wingers are simply more likely to lie?   But - without 'weightings' and assumptions that faragits will get everything that isnt declared as a definite and unequivocal 'not that Piers Morgan' - reform is on around 11% it seems.   Add to that the and the history of polling a lot less than the hype - and the simple fact that faragit wingers seem to be spread across the country (presumably skulking in their moms spare room despite being 45+) and greens and lib dems seem to be community minded - I think two seats will be an epic result for farage. Hardly the opposition - far more raving wingnut party.   and importantly - Has farage got a home in clacton yet?
    • "as I have no tools available to merge documents, unless you can suggest any free ones that will perform offline merges without watermarking" (which you don't) ... but ok please upload the documents and we'll go from there
    • Please go back and read my message posted at 10:27 this morning @jk2054. I didn't say that I wasn't going to provide documents, only that I will upload them to an online repo that I am in control of, and that I would share links to these. You shall still be able to read and download them no different from if they were hosted here.

    • Thanks ,DX, I'd forgpotton about that letter and can't remember sending a SB letter. I must have left it and they did not chase. Unclebulgia. Yes several periods of no contact. Think its time for the SB letter .

    • 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 - welcome on board the nat west forum!

 

At the moment, you need to hide the 8% interest column on the spreadsheet as this can only be awarded by the courts (if it gets to that stage).

 

Fill in the gaps in this letter 2. Letter - Preliminary approach for repayment. and delete any bits that aren't appropriate and send it to the Borehamwood address, recorded or special delivery as you need to make sure it's signed for.

 

Give them 14 days from the date they sign the prelim letter to respond, then send them the LBA (post back and we'll help you out with the next stage when you get there!!)

 

Good luck, hedgey xxx :D

Thanks for that hedgey.

 

Just one question on the letter template it says

 

'What I require

I calculate that you have taken £XXXXX plus £XXX which you have charged me in overdraft interest for the sum which you have taken. Total £XXXXX .

I enclose a schedule of the charges which I am claiming with this letter.'

 

Should I just put in the £682.00 figure? If not how do I work out overdraft interest.?

 

Thanks again.

I calculate that you have taken £XXXXX Enter the actual charges here - £682.00 plus £XXX if you want to claim overdraft interest, make sure you download the correct spreadsheet which you have charged me in overdraft interest for the sum which you have taken. Total £XXXXX charges + overdraft interest = the total.

I enclose a schedule of the charges which I am claiming with this letter.'

 

Should I just put in the £682.00 figure? If not how do I work out overdraft interest.?

 

If you're not claiming overdraft interest just delete that bit from the letter and claim charges only. If you want to claim overdraft interest, you can only reclaim the portion of interest that's been applied because fees sent you over your overdraft (if you don't have an overdraft facility - its easy to work out cos you just reclaim the whole lot of interest they applied!!!)

 

Hope that helps

I have a decision to make regarding a Natwest personal account.

I want to close this account by paying the difference between what they owe in bank charges and the current overdrawn balance.

IE: Balance is £900 overdrawn, charges amount to £500.

I would appreciate any advise on how to go about this due to the fact that Natwest have refused to re-pay the bank charges due to the OFT case.

Should I deposit £400.00 and issue an N1 for the charges.

Help

Hi Blades.

 

At the moment, if you've already issued prelim and LBA you can file N1 at your local county court for the full amount of charges you're reclaiming plus s69 8% interest (and obviously court fees as well!)

 

However, depending on which court you file your claim at, your case could be stayed pending the outcome of the OFT test case (you probably already know this though!)

 

If you've got some spare cash to start paying off the overdraft, it may be an idea to start doing so as this would reduce the amount of interest you'll be paying every month (particularly as the outcome of the test case may not be known for some time). At least this way, once your charges and interest are eventually refunded you'll have a bit of spare cash left over!

 

Best of luck mate - hope everything goes well with your claim. :)

Filing your claim at court doesn't stop additional charges/interet being applied to your account, so make sure you include absolutely everything you possibly can up to the date you file at court (even if you've incurred additional charges since you sent the LBA).

 

However, if they continue to apply charges/interest............. that's claim number 2 once this one's dealt with! ;)

Well NATWEST have issued a default notice and added more charges for doing so.

 

Background is account is £600 overdrawn, they owe £1050.00 in charges.

 

So the whole amount they are claiming is made up of charges.

 

All I keep getting is the standard letter regarding the OFT case.

 

I am now going to issue a Court Claim.

 

I sent this letter and would apprecaite your thoughts on my way forward with this.

 

 

 

 

Dear Sir/Madam

Account: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Your Ref: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ACCOUNT IN DISPUTE. LETTER OF INTENTION TO ISSUE PROCEEDINGS

I am writing in response to your letter received today and dated 8th January 2008.

I very disappointed that my previous letter of 13th December 2007 has not met the hope for response from yourselves.

For the avoidance of doubt I shall, once again, state my position in relation to this matter.

My account is subject to a request for the return of unlawful bank charges levied and is in dispute as indicated in numerous letters from myself.

Accompanying this letter is a list of said charges now totaling £1052.39. this is in excess of the amount you are requesting.

While II am aware that NatWest, along with other banks are involved in legal proceedings with the office of fair trading regarding the legality of these charges, and that you wish store my complaint until the outcome. However you have now issued a Default Notice. In this letter you also made a threat of legal proceedings contrary to the Office of Fair Trading Debt Collection Guidance.

I also note that you are to file information with credit reference agencies, if so I shall alos be submitting a claim for damages as a result of this.

I find this totally unacceptable and I am writing to inform you that I will now be issuing a County Court Claim for the charges plus interest to date.

I am aware that most courts are applying an automatic stay to such cases however in the case of banks taking legal action relating to an account in dispute any stay made by the court will be immediately lifted and the claim for unlawful bank charges heard.

The precedent for this was made by Judge Behrens on Wednesday 29th August 2007.

Please accept this correspondence in accordance with my duty under the Civil Procedure Rules to continue to pursue a settlement without the need to invoke the time of the courts

If you do not intend to defend your charges in court, but hoping that I will "just go away" I should to point out that this will not happen and you will incur further costs against you.

Take note that I will draw the Court’s attention to the fact that you have not made any attempts at settlement in accordance with the overriding objectives of CPR. Furthermore I will submit this letter to the Court as further evidence of your intransigence with my case despite my attempts at settlement and the settling by your company of all other similar claims to date.

Alternatively, in accordance with the overriding objectives of the Civil Procedure Rules I would like to give you the opportunity to settle this issue without the need to take the time of the Courts. My claim is for £1052.39.. If you could ensure that this sum is paid into my bank account within seven days I will inform the court that this matter is settled.

 

I look forward to your timely response within the next 7 days.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

UPDATE 1: 17/4/2008

 

Well got a letter from NatWest stating:

With reference to your claim for charges refund. There is no guarantee that you will receive a refund if the court rules in favour of the Bank. Therefore recovery action will continue and any refund will be given after the resolution of the court case.

 

The Bank has now appointed Moorcroft Debt Recovery to recover the outstanding balance on the account and any proposals for repayment should be made with them.

They have NOT sold the debt just using Moorcroft to chase.

Balance now stands at £727.00 they are wanting to recover.

N1 issued for £1725.00.

UPDATE 2: 22/4/2008

 

Received Notice of Issue from the court this morning.

The claim has not been automatically stayed.

Moorcroft are now calling twice a day, I have sent a letter to them stating that the account is subject of legal proceedings and to pass back to NatWest or the court will be informed of their involvement. No calls today but plenty of time left. :(

I suppose Natwest will apply for a stay but I will ask for it to be lifted due to the invlovement of Moorcroft and tghe fact that they issued a default notice despite the account being in dispute.

Any thoughts.

Thanks

if they do stay it and if NatWest/Moorcroft issue proceedings you can ask for a stay on the basis that your (linked) claim is stayed.

LATEST: 9/5/2008

 

Today received notification of the case being stayed at Sheffield County Court due to the OFT case.

As previously mentioned Natwest have registered a default with CRA's and instructed Moorcroft to chase the debt.

Is this enough to apply for the stay to be lifted and if so could someone advise on suitable wording for order.

I will of course be using the Behrens judgment in my application forn the stay to be lifted.

Thanks as always.

One option is to do nothing and let Moorcroft take you to court and then ask for a stay or that te stay is lifted from your claim as it's part of the same issue. Did you include default removal in your claim?

 

IMHO, you don't stand much chance of getting the stay lifted otherwise ATM

I really need a bit of help on this please. Cobbetts have filed a defence against my claim.

 

The case has been stayed by the Court.

 

What do I do now. :(

 

Thanks as always.

You need to prepare a rebuttal against their defence. If you can give details of what the defence is, we can help you with that. When the stay is eventually lifted, the case may proceed very quickly afterwards.

 

You might also apply for lifting of the stay. There are some other people doing this at the moment, and you might want to look at how they are going about it for ideas.

As far as I can see this is a pretty standard Cobbetts cut and paste job. What I don't understand is why they have done it given the fact that the case is stayed

  • 1 month later...

My wife's NatWest current account had a balance of £584 Overdrawn, after adding up all the charges they came to £1150 including interest so the overdraft balance was made up wholly of charges.

 

A claim was made to NatWest for the refund of the charges, the usual letter regarding the OFT case was received.

 

NatWest continued adding charges to the account despite being clearly put in dispute in our correspondence.

 

They default notice for £782 and this now appears on the CRA files.

 

We issued a claim in the County Court for £1750 this included costs, and 8 % interest. Also as part of the claim was the removal of the default from CRA files.

 

Of course the case was stayed and now we are waiting for the outcome of the test case.

 

My wife has now had two applications for credit turned down due we believe to the addition of the default to her file.

 

Could this damage be a good reason to have the stay lifted.

 

Thanks
