    • Can you complete this ASAP also:    
    • 25/05/2024? That the deadline or the date of the claimform?
    • Banks have different limits above which they require Probate. So it may be Probate is not needed, although as he died with no Will that could complicate things. Is all the £28k with Virgin Money? Your wife should contact all banks who hold his money with the death certificate and ask them what they need to release the funds to her. Most banks have a central "bereavement department". Check their websites. Use that department rather than general call centre or bank branch if they have one. Nearly every bank website has a section on "what to do when a customer dies" so have a search for that. Your wife may also have to provide evidence that she is his daughter. When his wife died it sounds like they had a joint bank account so that's why her money just went across to him. But as it isn't a joint account now transfer to your wife won't be quite that simple.  
    • That explains it then. MET's fantasy is that it's a pay car park.  You're only let off paying if you are a Starbucks customer which you can't be when Starbucks is closed.  'Cos otherwise lots of people would abuse the car park facilities on the far edge of the Stansted Airport area in the middle of nowhere to ... admire the bushes?  Look at the cloudy sky? The important thing is that we have around 140 cases for this site, and MET have only tried court seven times.  Even then, they had no intention of getting as far as a hearing, they were attempting to intimidate the motorists into paying, when the Caggers defended the cases MET discontinued.
    • She's an only child and he as a brother and sister. He has no will and we have done a check on this to find out if he had left one and nothing has come up. He has savings of around 28k His sister and brother are well off so 28k is nothing to them and aren't interested in his money. This just leaves my wife/his daughter. Would this still need to go to probate there is no estate e.g house or business to sell and the amount left in his bank is just small? When his wife died they just closed her bank account and moved her money across to his account and we just assumed that once my wife has handed in the death certificate and shown evidence of who she is the same would apply to her? We don't know yet the council have only just written to us today with a guide of what to do next.

    • 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.

you just put the type of charge in the 1st column amount in the next then the date in the 3rd .... you must use the format of the examples ... the next 2 columns work themselves out for you

as you click on each box whatever is in them is overwritten by what you type in

 

When you print it out it just prints the document on however many pages it needs to complete the spread sheet

 

Hope that helps

Update.

 

I've managed to sort out the spreadsheet issue, I've hidden the interest column & have sent it together with your 2nd letter, Recorded Del.

 

What I did also, as you said not to mention the interest, is to delete those lines in your letter which refers to the interest. So I have said that I am claiming the sum for the bank charges only. Is that correct? :)

Hi, am just editing the LBA letter & wanted to make sure that I should edit out the interest part & not include it in my charges sum. Also, when you say 'date of first letter' I think you must mean 2nd letter. Is that right?

 

Thanks again, :)

Just another quickie. If I proceed with the court action would Barclays ask me to pay back my overdraft? I ask as I wouldn't have the funds to do this. Thanks.

No they wont, and they cant take action against you for taking action against them, i.e account closure or withdrawing O/D facilities.

Although it does say in the terms and conditions that the bank can withdraw the overdraft at any time, if they were to do this while you are in dispute with them it would look like an act of retaliation.

 

They would like you to use the repayment to clear the debt, and if you can it would be advisable but it can not be an order,

repayment of charges + interest etc are settled on your terms NOT theirs.

If you want it paid to another bank account that is you choice.

Ahh, thank you very much for clearing that up, I'll post the letter tomorrow.:)

BTW, if I used my claim money to clear up my overdraft I'd still be in debt to them!

Hi folks, have received a letter today from Barclays informing me of the OFT case & that if I issued a claim via a court then they would order a stay. The letter was quite friendly actually. I know you said to continue to issue a claim, shall I still & would I still have to make an appearence at court, or would I be notified of a stay from the court via a letter?:)

Who is to say that the Court will allow them to stay the case OR that the judge cant be persuaded to lift the stay ?

 

The thing with continuing on to court is that even if B's get a stay then atleast your in the system PLUS its actually getting the interest :)

Hi guys, well, I've been a bit held up & am not sure where to look to proceed. I've earmarked the New POC for N1 Barclays. I understand I have to make 3 copies of this but, what else do I do please? Should I be looking at a topic somewhere? Have got a bit lost I'm afraid.:confused:
