    • Have we seen your court bundle?   If we haven't then it's probably an idea to post it up here especially the index page and the witness statement so we can see if there is anything which might need adding or changing 
    • "Care to briefly tell someone who isn't tech savvy - i.e. me! - how you did this?" Its pretty simple although not obvious. You open the google maps app > click your profile picture > Click Timeline from the list > click today > choose the date you want to see the timeline from. Then you'll see your timeline for that day. Often, places you have visited will have a question mark beside them where google wants you confirm you have actually visited. You either click 'yes' if you have, or you click 'edit' to enter the actual place you visited. Sometimes, you'll see 'Missing visit' This probably happens if your internet connection has dropped out at that time. You simply click 'Add visit' and enter the place. The internet on my crappy phone often loses connection so I have to do that alot.   OK dx, understood mate. 
    • I have now been given a court date vs Evri, 4th Sept 2024. I have completed my court bundle, when am I expected to send copies to the court and Evri and should it be in hard copy or electronic? The Notice of Allocation states that no later than 7 days before the directions hearing both parties must send to the other party their final offers to settle. Does this mean I will have to tell Evri what I'm willing to settle? Rgds, J
    • Ok how about this to the CEO? I know it sounds super desperate but lets call a spade a spade here, I am super desperate: Dear Sir, On 29th November 2023 I took out a loan of £5000 with you. Unfortunately very early into 2024 I found myself in financial difficulty (unexpected bills and two episodes of sickness and the tax office getting my tax code wrong resulting in less pay for two months) and I contacted you (MCB) on 13th February 2024 asking if there was any way I could extend the length of my loan to 36 months. I fully explained why I was requesting this and asked for your help. I did not receive a reply to that email so I again contacted you on 7th March 2024 to advise you of a change in my circumstances which resulted in me having to take out a DMP and asking you to confirm that the direct debit had been cancelled. You would have also received confirmation of this DMP from StepChange but you did not acknowledge receipt of my email. I have only managed to make one payment from my loan but did try and contact MCB to discuss extending my loan, help etc.  I have now therefore fallen behind on several of my debts, yours included, and as a result you have lodged a Cifas marker against my name for "evasion of payment", which has resulted in me having to change banks, which has been an extremely difficult process because of the Cifas marker. I do not feel you have been fair or given me the opportunity to fully explain my situation to you before you lodged the marker against my name. I appreciate it is a business and you have acted accordingly, but I did try to make contact to arrange alternative arrangements and at no point, not even to this day, did I ever intend to not repay my loan. I cannot stress to you enough how much this has affected my mental health. I am having trouble sleeping and my existing health condition has been exacerbated by all of this. What I would like you to do is to please, please remove the Cifas marker and let me make arrangements to pay the loan back through a DMP.  Please sir, I am begging for your help here. I am not a dishonest person and I have never been in a situation like this before. I am desperately trying to make things right but this marker is killing me. Please can you help me? I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully,

    • 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.

On the 01st of May 2007, I sent a letter (using template) to Barclays Data Protection requesting a fully comprehensive list of all the default charges for direct debit, unauthorised overdrafts and standing orders I have paid over the last six years.

Unfortunately, after 40days I received no response and therefore phoned them today (11th June 2007).

I was told that my letter has not been received (even though correctly addressed), however they did order the requested information over the phone, although this could take another 40 days to process.

I have report the above to the Information Commissioner.

What should I do? Except its not been received and wait another 40 days?

sent a cheque, but didnt send by recorded delivery (school boy error, but thought it may have more chance going missing if the wrong person signed for it)

 

a firend has said i should send another letter saying i want the information within 14 days (which im legally entitled to) and state who I have spoken to on the phone.

I must apologize, just realised that was your first post. Welcome to the forum.

 

I think you have learned a valuable lesson. You must send everything by recorded delivery. Barclays are notorious for losing mail. I assume your cheque has not been cashed?

 

Which address did you use. The correct one is

 

1Churchill Place

London

E14 5HP

 

Which number did you use to check status of letter? 01565 614208 or 01565 614281 is the direct number for the Data Protection Team

Am I allowed to jump on this thread too, as I'm in exactly the same position? The difference being that I spoke to a lady whose No was on a thread here, a Customer Relations Manager who told me my letter had been logged. I hadn't sent it RD though, big mistake! She told me they had up to 8wks to respond which sounded more like they were going to take 8wks. My letter was sent to Complaints Dept. Leics. Didn't know anything about a cheque I'm afraid.

welcome

 

Please start your own thread so that we can keep an eye on your progress.

 

But in response to what you have said, it seems likely to me that the 8wks you are referring to is Barclays policy for handling complaints. As you have not included a cheque for £10 Barclays are well within their rights to dismiss your S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) and as such don't have to comply with the DPA 40 calender days

Firstly,,,sned everyhting recorded and note every converstion you have had with barclays, things like name date, time, general subject matter.

 

what tends to happen is that barclays mess up the sending of statements, i hhad three copies of the same ones! lol one for my orignal request, 1 for my secondrequest,and 1 for my complaint!

 

They have to send themout within 40 days, wordword, make a new request in writing using template and 10 pound cheque, send again, but this time ring them after 14 days and ask them where it is, tell the person on the line it is your second request, they will print it out there and then and you will eventually end up with many copies! deeddub probably do the same

Or shall I call them on 01565 614208 / 01565 614281 to request info?

 

Would a letter be better as its evidence?

Hi wordword

I'm at the same stage as yourself. i sent of my sar on the 4th of June.

That way there won't be any confusion between advice.

use the ones form here, they are better and more precise, plus then you have a standardised systematic claim process which has worked for many! also everyone will then know exactly what help you need if you get stuck further down the line...go for it! dont delay no more;)

Sorry, more questions.... hope u dont mind.

 

The letter template on this website (1. Data Protection Act, Subject Access Request letter - List of charges), doesnt appear to request statements for the last 6 years. Other templates I have seen do mention this specific time period.

 

Is this ok, and should I just use the "1. Data Protection Act, Subject Access Request letter - List of charges" as below?

Here is the confusing bit:-

 

6 years is the legal time limit for you to make claims (which can also be extended in circumstances), however far as I am aware the data act means that they have to provide to you ALL information which falls into this act to you, hence why this template is devoid of years. In theory you should get all your statements back to when you opened your account. However in practice you will get no further than 1996. Banks try to weasle out of it for any older ones, but there people trying to get them back so watch this space! we may beable to claim back till time began!

can you please edit out the template letter you have posted. these are not meant to be posted on the forums as guests will be able to view. all the template letters in the libraries are only available to registered members. This site is free but relies on donations from members that have made succesful claims. please don't make it easy for people to leech off of us... sorry if i sound a bit off

  • 3 weeks later...

Have received my statements and i am just about to send 'Letter 2 - Preliminary approach for repayment'.

 

Whats address should I send this to? The same as the letter requesting statements?

 

i.e.

 

Barclays Data Protection

Barclays Bank Plc

1 Churchill Place

London

E14 5HP

I have also completed the Schedule of Charges, should I include the 'interest 8% APR' field?

The Letter includes the following

 

'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.'

 

My Schedule of Charges for which I want to claim, only consists of PAID REFERRAL's & UNPAIDS OUT. Therefore can I change the above to

 

'I calculate that you have taken £XXXXX. I enclose a schedule of the charges which I am claiming with this letter.'
