    • 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.

:mad: Hi Guys,

 

I just wondered if anyone is having the same experience as I am with Abbey and the quality of Information supplied. I started to receive the Microfiche information as requested starting from 01-2001 to 02-2004 great news! Then the information stopped and I started to recieve resent statements for the last years. This left a gap in my information of about two years from 02-2004 through to 06-2006.

 

This gap according to Scabby is covered by a ' Summary Spreadsheet of Charges' which they have produced. But according to this summary I didn't have a single bank charge in those 'missing' two years. Now I know full well that I was charged during this period (I have a sneeky suspicion that I was hammered by Scabbey!). So I have written to Abbey again with the template letter from here about Abbey not meeting the requirements of the S.A.R.

 

The interesting thing is also in the letter from Abbey about this summary it states right at the end 'Please note charges which have been written off by the bank will not be included in this summary'.

 

What does this mean? My understanding of written off ment that the bank didn't charge me? But my summary also includes refunds that I have had in the past year or so. I guess I'll have to wait until I get the microfiche information and then I will know the truth. But I do feel this is yet another trick used by the Scabbey team (and Pam - I'm not really bothered Speed) to make people believe that no charges have been applied to their accounts when infact they have been charged and are now the charges are been covered up by Scabby so we can't claim them back!!! DISGUSTING!!! !!! !!! !!!

 

BEWARE - Abbey are well and truely untrustworthy Scabs! (apologies for errors -quickly typed this message while at work!!)

 

Regards

Jon

I to have been dealing with the lovely Pam Speed who post dates her letters by 3 weeks before actually sending them??? I to had a gap period of about 6 months in the info I recieved and like yourself am assuming I was hammered during this time. I had to send two letters requesting my info, she lost my £10 cheque fee and claimed I had never sent it and then eventually sent what I asked for after I faxed a letter to the complaints dept with copies of all correspondance (thank god I keep everyhthing - dont trust abbey as far as I could throw them). I sent my list of charges claiming over 8K including interest last week and know it is in the uncapable hands of Ms Speed because I checked she signed for my letter on the 21st June. Fingers crossed this saga will soon be over - I look forward to any offer made by ms speed and will let you know how I get on.

Hi there are a few of us have had this spreadsheet pantomime with Abbey. take a look at these threads

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/abbey-bank/85886-dizzy-abbey.html

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/abbey-bank/86191-elliejay39-abbey-guru-needed.html

 

 

It's just too coincidental to be anything other than suspicious. Why is everyone getting the same c****y info for the same period? Did they have a mega spring clean and throw all of our records away and then sit making up the spreadsheets?

 

I have lost patience in waiting and am going with what I have whilst still complaining about their non-compliance (it can only look bad on them when it gets to court) If anything comes up later I'll do it all again!

 

You might like to as a moderator to move this thread though as you're in the successes forum so might not get as much help as in the main Abbey forum.

 

Good luck

 

Ellie
