    • I had some contact with this company earlier in my working life but I'm afraid there's not a lot I can suggest that you haven't already done. During your grandfather's time  British Celanese was a subsidiary of Courtaulds. Courtaulds was subsequently (after your grandfather had stopped working there) acquired by Alzo Nobel. They in turn closed down the Spondon site and sold it. I have no idea what the number is that you are trying to call. It's a Derby (Spondon) area code but the number appears not to be allocated. From my slim knowledge of the history of the company I would have expected your grandfather's pension to be in the Alzo Nobel (CPS) Pension Scheme.  But Willis Tower Watson are the Pension Scheme Administrator of that scheme and would be the people who should know if your grandfather had contributed. Is your grandfather certain he contributed? Joining pension schemes wasn't compulsory in those days. Or might he have got his contributions returned when he left them? That happened sometimes back then. Sorry not to be of more help.      
    • I am sorry I am not aware of this report from IAS assessors? The Court will consider my application at a online hearing in June. The Court instructed me to send Bank copies of my sons condition proving he could not have been the driver I have heard nothing further. My son is not aware of any proceedings I have not involved him to avoid causing him distress, he has been sectioned a fair few times and I need to avoid this happening.
    • I am very pleased that the Court has taken the decision to allow you to  represent your son and hope that he is happy enough with that to relieve the stress he will also be feeling. I do agree that Bank parking are so insensitive, greedy, horrible etc etc to continue proceedings considering  in what it is a very minor case of a wrong number plate . Even their  own  IAS Assessors, who are normally hopelessly biased in favour of their members, went out on a limb and said  " The Operator's evidence shows no payment for the Appellant's vehicle, or anything similar. It does show two payments for the same registration in quick succession. I would take a reasonable guess, based on the circumstances described, that the person paying has paid for the registration of the person they assisted again." That is damning evidence and you must take that report with you as well as including that in your Witness Statement which we will help you with. I would expect that Bank would discontinue the case at that point.  But I am sorry to say  that you should not count on it.  
    • Evening all,   I have deliberated over this offer for two weeks and I have decided to take their offer. I do understand that some may prefer us to go to court and receive a judgement but with our personal circumstances and my current military commitment that could become an issue. I am so grateful for all the help and support you have all offered me over the last few months. I will continue to monitor this site and push all those that are being wrong to get in touch.   Thank you! what you all do is truly amazing!
    • When I first responded to the PAPLOC, and received that 29 page junk back it was accompanied with a letter saying that they had already responded to my request back on Feb 18th 2023,(I never received it). I was just clearing out some paperwork today and found a letter from Lowell, dated Feb 17th 2023, explaining that they were still waiting for the documents from PayPal, and my account was on hold  until further notice.  Does this mean they were lying and can it be used against them if this goes any further? I have now filed my defence, and have had an acknowledgement from Overdales and the court. A little threatening from Overdales , explaining that part of my defence was invalid because they have now complied with the CCA, and they were still waiting for the Default notice from PayPal.

    • 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 All,

 

I sent in my request for copy bank statements on 14/05/07, before finding this site. Anyway I believe this is a SAR giving the 40 day time limit.

 

I got a reply dated 04/06/07 saying received my request and I should receive a response no later than 40 days "from when we received your original request".

 

It is now 47 days and I have heard nothing more.

 

It seems my options are to:

  1. Write to Information Commissioner and complain
  2. Write to HBOS and advise them they are already out of time

It would appear without my copy bank statements I can not request my money back?

 

I will keep reading and see what the best course of action is but any pointers and advice most welcome.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi Mr Rhodes.

 

The banks are absolutely swamped with SARs requests.

You need to write to them and point out that they have not comlied with your SARs. Click on the following link.......

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/6986-data-protection-act-non.html

 

There are a number of options here depending on circumstances. Pick the letter that is the most suitable for your claim. Add your details and send it off to the bank.

If that does not elicit a favourable response then send a written complaint to the Information Commissioner's Office.

 

Regards, Rooster.

Hello again and welcome. That was quick!!

 

Reading is a good method. Most points will be found answered in threads on this forum.

 

Statements are a real problem just now, so that affects things. Did you ask for a full banking history as that, so they say, takes 40 days (not that it should). Statements, they say, take 7- 10 days dependent on who tells you.

 

You sent the £10 cheque? Thats important as some people don't send it as they have "heard" they can get it free of charge. However, the fee is reclaimable anyway as part of the process.

 

You will soon pick up on which threads to read through. Ask any questions as you need to!

Hi Rooster UK,

 

Thanks for the link I will go through that and send the best template letter.

 

Perhaps these institutions should be employing more staff and fund it from their huge and ever increasing profits?

 

I appreciate your help.:)

Hi kennythecelt,

 

I requested a comprehensive list of all default charges for DD's SO's and unauthorised overdrafts over the last six years adding if they were unable to provide this data I will accept copy statements going back 6 years.

 

Yes I sent the £10 cheque drawn on the same account and it has cleared.

 

Cheeky bankers took the cheque but did not send the info I have paid for and that the Data Protection Act requires them to issue.:mad:

 

Anyway slowly slowly catch the monkey:)

 

Thanks for your help and advice.

Buenas Tardez,

 

I have followed up on the previous posts - thanks for your help and guidance.

 

I have drafted a LETTER BEFORE ACTION Section 7 – Data Protection Act 1998 (template 3) to gee them up on getting the bank statements to me.

 

I have a claim against HSBC running as well (I have Bank Statements for that account) so that will help me.

 

The letter go out on Monday 02/07/07 which gives them until Monday 09/07/07. I wonder what happens next?

 

Thanks for your help. I will keep posting!:)

Hello Dusary,

 

Thanks for the advance warning and the links which I will follow up on.

 

Its good to be in the driving seat and too be able to see what's coming up around the bend.

 

I will probably take up your offer to bellow at some stage.

 

Cheers:)

It's totally up to you, of course . . . . I wouldn't want to foster in you thoughts of revenge. After all, the bank has been terribly kind to you over the years, hasn't it?

 

And they were good guys and replied to your SAR straight away, didn't they?

 

LOL!

 

The trouble with my being in the driving seat is that I seem to be driving along some Australian highway and nothing happens for ages! And Ages! AND AGES!

 

Keep going - and let us know HOW it's going!

Hi All,

 

I'm in Manchester and it's p*ssing down again as per usual. Why am I in Manchester?????

 

Yep I have started so I'll finish.

 

I have also had a word with my Mum who just ahd an offer from HBOS to settle and I have advised her about this sight and that she is also entitled to interest in relation to the charges. I have agreed to look at it for her and give her the figure before she accepts the offer made.

 

Muchas gracias :) I 'll keep posting

Make sure your mum does not accept a partial offer and get her on here to the relevant bank forum.

There are difference in every case and it is easier for everyone, and you, to keep a track of what is happening to individual cases.

 

Hope the rain passes quickly, the sun will follow soon and shine on the lovely City of Manchester.

 

Adios Amigo!! Adios!!!(learnt that from Manuel!!!!)

UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE!

 

I have the bank statements at long last, I received them last week but have just opened them. They have sent two lots of bank statements for the same six year period. A bit like a bus!!!!

 

My 1st request was back at the beginning of May and they have set them for August backwards so I am in effect missing 3 months of statements. I smell a rat or could I be getting paranoid and it is just incompetence?

 

I will now use the calculator spreadsheet to add the the total charges and apply the interest element.

 

Oh yeah I nearly forgot, they sent me a letter about 5 weeks ago saying the charges were approx £1K. It will be interesting to see how accurate that letter was.

 

More to follow...:)

Hello to All,

 

Just revisiting this after a long spell of major problems which meant I could not proceed. I will be looking at the site and posts to get up to date with the current state of affairs.

 

In the meantime HBOS have been charging me regular fees on my account, which is seriously annoying.:evil:

 

They have also just given me 2 weeks notice on my overdraft:mad:

 

Anyone give me a brief overview on what is happening at present?

 

TIA :)
