    • Date of issue –   13 may 2024 AOS date 31st may defence filing date 14th june plenty of lowell card claimform threads here use our enhanced google searchbox Lowell card claimform id be reading at least 5-10 threads a day. do NOT MISS your defence filing whatever happens.  
    • Hello All,  I’m hoping someone can help me urgently here. Firstly, I’d like to say I have read multiple other threads and have some what an idea of what I should be doing, however my case might be slightly different so coming with my own questions here.    my situation is I lived in Dubai and had a credit card and a loan, loan with HSBC and credit card with Emirates (or the other way round), I lost my job and was forced to leave the country as I was staying in the country on my companies visa.    since coming back, after a few years 2 different debt collections agencies have been approaching me (one being IDRW and the other J&P). I’ve never answered IDRWW and they constantly chase me by calling and messaging me and my employer. My current company is ok with this as I explained the situation but I’m soon to be joining a new company who definitely won’t be ok with being messaged and called.    I’m afraid to continue to ignore them as they may message and calm the new employer as they have before and I’ll lose my job.    However, it seems clear from these forums that dealing with the debt collection agencies is never a good idea. You shouldn’t agree to the amount or pay anything.    j&p caught me on my phone but I still have sent them any money or confirmed the amount they’re saying is owed, they keep pushing to pay off the “principal” amount by making monthly payments, from reading these forums it seems like if I make one of those payments (they have provided bank details for ENBD), then it’ll just be paying off interest and not actually clearing the principle debt and the bank won’t even approve receipt of payment or that it’s coming off principle.    this is my predicament as ignoring them might not be an option if they chase my new employer. Maybe there’s a way to ensure the debt collection agency don’t contact my new employer?? I don’t know? Massively appreciate peoples help here. Thanks,

    • 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.

Hello

I have contacted the hsbc regarding my charges (currently £1600 but rising all the time) My first letter asking for copy statements was sent 27th Feb and they sent copies within 4week's, I followed that letter up with a request on 2nd April that they refund these and recieved further copy statements?? that I did not request, I then sent a letter 10th june advising I would start court proceeding's and still have had no responce (this was sent recorded delivery and I know the branch recieved and signed for the letter 12th June). What do i do now...wait or apply to the court's. I worked in financial services and if we recieved a complaint (or letter of disatifaction) we had to respond within 5 working day's and had to offer a resolution within 8 week's.. Does this not apply with these cases????

Any advice welcome

Thanks

Hi,

 

With my second claim against Bank of Scotland, they totally ignored everthing I sent them, even my Court Return Date and Court Calling Date.Two weeks later I had every penny I claimed put into my account, without a word. I would'nt worry about them not replying, they hope you will just go away. Stick to your timetable and you will get your cash.

 

Regards.

 

Scott.

Hi hello1000

Welcome to CAG

DID you use the template from this site to send your prelim and LBA (letter before action).

Quite normal not to hear anything.

If you used the correct procedure, then you have done all you need to once the 14 days is up, put your claim in.

Always post up on your thread anything you send or receive an peeps will help you.

Never be afraid to ask any question, no matter how daft or trivial you think it is, we have all been there :)

Read around on the various threads on here and learn as much as you can before it happens then its not a shock when you receive things from court & solicitors

Good luck with your claim

Hi can you confirm the dates you sent your first and second letters asking for charges, and the wording used to ask them (remove own personals).

I am presuming you did not send a copy to them with your claim

After recieving copy statement's I sent my first letter on the 2nd April which was as follow's

 

HSBC

********

Re: Default charges on account number ******

Dear Sir/Madam,

I refer to default charges which have been applied to my account by Hsbc, amounting to one thousand two hundred and sixtysix pounds.

I have been a loyal customer of Hsbc for several year's. I believe that the charges applied to my account do not reflect the cost to the bank of my account going into an unauthorised overdraft.

I therefore ask that you repay the amount of all these charges, one thousand two hundred and sixtysix pounds.

I am happy for you to contact me on ******* to discuss the matter.

Yours faithfully

 

and then followed that letter with this on the 10th June

********

Re: Default charges on account number *******

Dear Sir/Madam,

I refer to default charges relating to unauthorised overdrafts which have been applied to my account by Hsbc, amounting to one thousand two hundred and sixtysix pounds.

I wrote to you on 2nd Aprtil 2007 asking that you repay these charges as a gesture of goodwill to a loyal customer. Since you have not done so, I intend to take the matter further and claim one thousand two hundred and sixtysix poundsthe amount through the small claims court.

The basis for this request is that under the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contract Regulations and/or the law of penalties, the small claims court could declare such charges unfair and therefore unenforceable.

I am only prepared to pay the charges on the condition that the bank agrees to repay me the full amount if the small claims court finds in my favour and declares the charges unenforceable.

I look forward to receiving your response within seven days of the date of this letter or I will issue proceedings in the small claims court to reclaim the full amount of charges, plus interest and costs.

I am happy for you to contact me on ******** to discuss the matter.

Yours faithfully

 

 

I did not send any other details as I awaited there responce

Many thanks

i have looked through my statements and have found the following "Overdraft arrangement fee's" These fees relate to one or more informal overdraft request you have made, which have being considered and approved.

"Fair fee policy" We do not apply arrangement fees for overdraft requests (either formal or informal) unless they are made frequently. the arrange fee you are being advised of today is payable because you have made more than one request over the last 6 month's.

 

These fees range from £46 to £146 according to my statement's. I have never asked them for an overdraft and don't understand how they state I have???? How do I stand on these charges?? and how can they charge me for something they have done without my knowledge or do they class because my account goes overdrawn as a request?

This is just hsbc's new slant on things. The fact that you go overdrawn is now seen by them as a request for an overdraft of the amount you are going overdrawn. Whatever they decide to call it, as you say, you have not agreed to it. Even £46 would be absolutely extortionate!

You can claim all these charges back.

I have recieved a letter from the leeds service center asking for a breakdown of charges i am requesting a refund on... I have used the template without interest and have included this month's "arrangement fee" charge... Freakyleaky I don't know if you can answer this but these new charges are not listed on my original terms and condition's which I signed when I opened the account, Are they allowed to change/add new fee's charges etc???

Try ringing them & complaining, saying that you are disgusted at the way they are still taking unlawfull charges from your account, especially as the previous charges are in dispute.

Also, i bet the charges are for £25, which is well over the amount that the oft set as the amount which they would not accept a complaint.

HSBC are still flouting the rules & ignoring the oft guidlines

I have just recieved a letter today saying my request for an informal overdraft was declined (another i didn't ask for!!) and they have also added £25 worth of extra charges without informing me (and i thought they had to give 14day's notice cefore adding charges???)... and they also called me asking when I was going to repay the overdrawn ammount and replied when they refund my illegal charges...then the phone went dead... I will call them myself monday and ask why they didn't reply to a simple question:rolleyes:

This is HSBC new tactic to cover their backs for you going over your agreed limit. I too have received a few of these letteres myself. I am checking to see whether they are charging me twice i.e for going over the limit that day and then charging again in their usual monthly "notified charges".

[sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]If you think my post was helpful, please feel free to click my scales

 

 

A prudent question is one-half of wisdom.

  • 2 weeks later...

Well after hsbc decided not to give me an "informal overdraft" my charges have halved this month!!!! rather than £150 they are taking £75 for the same overlimit ammount!!! bizzarre.....

I am going to wait for the oft case as i didn't get my court claim in on time but will be writing to the complaint's department to make sure they don't forget me :D ... and i am complaining to the ombudsman regarding them taking far too long (well over the 8 weeks rule) and the lack of correspondance...
