    • 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.

Hi all,

 

Great site. Have received back my 6 yrs worth of statements today within the 40 day timeframe. Using your simple excel sheet I work out I have had £1,243 in charges in that time frame. I am lookingto send the prelim letter tomorrow but need some advice. Hope you can help:

 

On your simple spreadsheet it shows £342 interest in the interest 8%APR column.

 

In the prelim letter:

 

What I require

I calculate that you have taken £1243 plus £342 which you have charged me in overdraft interest for the sum which you have taken. Total £1585. I enclose a schedule of the charges which I am claiming with this letter.

Have I done this right?

 

Do I just print out your simple spreadsheet to attach to the letter including the days/interest columns?

 

Many Thanks for your help with this.

 

All the best

 

Liam

Hi Liam, welcome on board the nat west forum!

 

The 8% interest column shows the s69 interest that can only be awarded by the courts (if your claim gets to that stage). Hide this column for the time being unless you end up filing your claim at court.

 

Overdraft interest is completely different and more complex to calculate. Basically, if charges send you overdrawn (and you don't have an overdraft) you'll be charged 'interest' on this 'unauthorised borrowing' and you reclaim this figure. If you do have an overdraft, you need to work out what proportion of the interest has been applied to your account due to charges taking you over your overdraft. I'm sure somebody can give a better explanation than I can on this - but it's quite complex to work out (which is why I didn't bother!)

 

Hope that helps! ;)

Thanks for ther quick reply hedgey. So do you think the paragraph on my prelim should read like this instead:

 

What I require

I calculate that you have taken £1243. I enclose a schedule of the charges which I am claiming with this letter.

 

How does that read?

 

Thanks again.

Reads perfectly Liam!

 

Print it off and attach your schedule of charges giving them 14 days to respond. Send it to the Borehamwood address recorded delivery............. and don't forget to let us know how you get on!

 

Good luck, hedgey x ;)

Hi again all,

 

Right 3 days before the 14 day deadline from letter 1, I recieved the Thank you for your letter, please wait 6-7 weeks for an answer letter.

 

I should go right ahead and send a letter before action right?

 

Do I wait till the inital 14 days have elapsed or go right ahead and do it now?

 

Thanks for all your help with this.

You should really wait the full 14 days you gave them in the prelim (it's unlikely, but they may make you an offer right at the last minute), then send the LBA.

 

Btw, just noticed that you (11am) posted at exactly 11am :)

Halifax - Credit Card: 14/11/06 sent S.A.R, 29/12/06 sent Prelim, 11/01/07 1st bog-off received, 15/01/07 LBA sent, 01/02/2007 MCOL started for £1801 (inc court costs and 8% int.), 02/02/2007 MCOL cancelled... , 09/06/2007 Court claim started, 01/06/2007 Claim Acknowledged, 07/06/2007 Claim concluded, £1540 to be reimbursed into CC account.

Thanks,

 

In the first line of the LBA letter, it states "since i have not recieved a response". any recommendations about what to change it to since I did receive a response, just not the one I was after?

 

Thanks again

Hi all again,

 

Right, the 14 days of the LBA letter runs out on wednesday this week. I was all set for going to the next stage, however i dont know what to make of the OFT announcement.

 

Should I just plough on anyway?

 

Thanks again

Hi Liam

 

Advie ATM is to carry on. Your claim might be stayed though. If it is, there is upcoming advice on what to do next.

 

BTW, don't use MCOL but use an N1 with the new PoC - NatWest version coming soon.

Thanks for the advice. I've seen on this site the help filling out the N1 form and it looks ok. What is a PoC? and should I wait for the natwest one you refer to?

 

Thanks

Ok,

 

A bit worried now with the OFT stuff.

 

My LBA expires tomorrow, I was thinking of calling NW at borehamwood and asking verbally for my money back and explain that today (tomorrow) is the cut off date before I take legal action.

 

Have any of you done this if so was it a good idea, or should I proceed straight to the N1 claim?

 

Thanks for all you help with this.

You can try but I predict a fob off (that would have happened before the OFT case- even more likely now). Current advice is to go ahead with your claim.

Ok,

 

Called Natwest on friday and asked for a refund. Usual OFT test case response and request declined. However, they did say my complaint was in the system and would be looked at after the OFT case has concluded.

 

I need some advice.

 

Do I wait for the test case descision and then carry on?

 

Or file at court pay the £120 fee?

 

Why concern is I pay the £120 and still have to wait for the outcome of the test case.

 

Hope you can see my dimlemma, please offer any advice you can.

 

Thanks

Hi Liam,

 

I'd advise you to file N1 at your local county court now to be honest. Regardless of the 'test case' - courts are dealing with bank charge cases as they see fit. Some are placing stays on claims - but some aren't. And if a stay is placed on your claim at some point, we have letters requesting these to be lifted in CAG's templates library.

 

If you're still worried though - have a read of the links attached to my signature, especially the 'don't panic' link!

 

Best of luck ;)

Hi all,

 

Thanks for the advice so far, need some help again.

 

Sent off the LBA in august 2007, and they sent me the "we are waiting till the test case has been resolved letter".

 

Since been away on holiday and back to it now.

 

Is the concencus to still proceed to court or wait?

 

Thanks all.
