    • It’s all unsecured loans and credit cards. Mainly loans now though as most credit cards are paid off.   so 95% unsecured loans.   I just don’t know my situation job wise it’s almost impossible to say whether it’s likely or not just don’t want to be caught out by it. My mental health trying to pay this off has taken a huge hit also if I’m being honest. I feel like mentally I need some kind of respite and the credit file cost is something I can accept also. 
    • Depends on whether part of the roof needs to be replaced and whether it is a standard roof type,  but the works should only take a day or two. Someone I know had a whole semi-detached roof replaced in about 12 hours. Suggest you put it in writing to the business about the issues you mention in your post.  Also as business premises, you could also apply pressure by contacting local Council if necessary. 
    • Thank goodness it's not your roof and you get to foot the bill! How big are these bits of mortar? How often are they falling into your garden? Hourly, daily? Just go ahead with your plans, of course, they're not going to be worried by your time pressures and the urgency of the situation, so simply carry on as you would have done and I'm sure everything will go fine. Unless there is a danger to life and serious structural issues which mean you cannot venture into your garden, then IMHO there is little more you can do less for what you have done so already and made them aware of the issue.
    • Hi all!   Thank you in advance for any help you can give me!!    I parked up (at 18:08) in a rush, entered my Reg and paid for an hour of parking. At 18:20 I got a ticket for not paying for parking.    I've just looked at my receipt and noticed why ... I put "22" instead of "21"  when i put in my Reg. yes... what a stupid mistake.    I seem to remember there being a court case or a rule change about entering the wrong reg but the company wasn't at a loss because i had paid for the parking just technically for the wrong car. Am i making that up?    Any advice would be gratefully received, even some key points i have to hit when doing the appeal      
    • You haven't returned to the thread to give us your views, but a couple of other things strike me which you should consider: 1. You say that at no time was your father's licence revoked by the DVLA. It didn't have to be revoked. It expired in September and his "entitlement to drive" (of which the licence provides proof) expired along with it. He could only continue driving whilst his application was being processed by virtue of s88, and it seems clear to me (based on what you have said) that he was not able to take advantage of the benefits provided by that section. 2. The letter he received threatening to revoke his licence was probably a template letter sent when any medical issues are brought to the attention of the DVLA. But it is clear that beyond September until it was eventually renewed, your father had no valid licence to be revoked. I believe a "not guilty" plea in court will fail. The basic facts are that your father's licence expired in September, it was not renewed until February because the DVLA were looking into his medical declaration and he could not take advantage of s88. So in December he had no licence and no entitlement to drive under s88. The facts that he believed he was fit to drive and that his licence was eventually renewed may mitigate the offence but they do not provide a defence. I also asked whether he had received a summons (very unusual these days) or whether he had received a "Single Justice Procedure Notice". The way to proceed from here differs slightly depending on what he has received so if you let me know, I'll advise further.

    • 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,

 

Been trying to take on MBNA without having to ask too many questions on here but I'm a bit confused about CCA's and sending a £1 Postal Order etc so any help would be greatly appreciated :) .

 

Sent S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) to MBNA, got paperwork back after about 3 weeks (bit shocked as many people on the forum seem to be having a nightmare getting hold of them) with an offer of £160 as full settlement and this was credited to my account.

 

I amended one of the Template letters to decline the offer that this would be as full settlement, accepted it as part settlement and asked for the remainder of the £640 worth of charges (with contractual interest added).

 

The bottom of the template letter reads:

 

'If you dispute that I am entitled to a refund of these charges, I request that you forward within the above mentioned time scale, a copy of the Terms and Conditions that were in force at the time my account was opened, and any subsequent amendments to those Terms and Conditions. These are requested under CPR Pre-Action Protocol 4.6©, and failure to provide them will be brought to the attention of the court, should it be necessary to commence a county court action'.

 

'If you do not respond, or you do not respond positively, within this time period, I shall send you a letter before action giving you a further 14 days in which to reflect.'

 

 

 

This is where I'm getting confused.........

 

1. Is that request a CCA request?

2. Did I need to send a £1 Postal Order?

3. Do I need a CCA request for Credit Card charges? (account is not in default or DCA etc).

 

Just one more..........!! - MBNA have not replied to the above letter (been 20 days) so am I in a position to send them the LBA now?

 

 

Thanks in advance!!

'If you do not respond, or you do not respond positively, within this time period, I shall send you a Letter Before Action giving you a further 14 days in which to reflect.'

 

 

Youve sent a pre lim saying MBNA you owe me X in unfair charges, the above paragraph is telling them, that if they dont respond positively within 14 days, you will send them a LBA giving them a further 14 days and if they still dont respond, meaning pay up all charges, you will then start a county court claim.

 

A CCA request is totally different, with a CCA request, it costs a £1 and you are asking MBNA to provide you with a copy of your true executed agreement, the agreement they supply should contain a number of different things. With a CCA request, they have 12 working days to supply it, if after 12 working days they cant supply it, then the account is in default and you dont have to pay them anymore, if after a further month at the end of the 12 working days, they are still to provide it, they have committed a criminal offence. Which all means the debt to them is there, but they cant make you pay it until the agreement is found, if after 12 working days and a further month, they would need to take you to court to enforce the agreement, which they are unlikely to do, cos it would mean admitting the criminal offence in a court room.

 

Now the key point here is, do your charges cover your balance? If so, reclaim charges and clear the balance. If the charges dont come near your balance, try for the CCA, if they cant provide it and depending on when you took your card out, they may or may not, if they cant, then you dont have to pay them.

 

Hopefully i kinda explained it for ya :)Maybe someone with more knowledge will put me straight if im wrong on anything :)

 

By no means am i legal whizz, this is what ive picked up from reading a lot on here and you will too, just got to read read read and then maybe read some more :D

 

Have a look at these threads, a lot of reading but interesting.

Edit

 

If its been 20 days since you sent it or they received it, i would send an LBA, keep pushing them :)

Hi Everyone,

 

MBNA have ignored my LBA aswell so filed a claim via MCOL yesterday.

 

I've just been reading the following on the OFT site:

 

The Office of Fair Trading: Questions and answers for OFT test case announcement 26 July 2007

 

 

Section 11 mentions a 'waiver' can be issued meaning the banks don't have to handle any charges complaints..........

 

 

Have I just wasted £80 in Court fees :confused: .......

As far as I am aware, it does not apply ro credit charges - its about overdrafts and charges. I am sure if I am wrong I shall be corrected.

 

Have a look at the MSE website as well as this one for further info.

Thanks lemma

 

Been reading the Banks involved own take's on this, Lloyds TSB FAQ's (link below):

 

Lloyds TSB - Answers to questions on bank charges

 

 

The 2nd Q / A from last clearly states that the test case AND suspension applies to unauthorised overdrafts, NOT Credit Cards.

Hi All - HELP!!!!!

 

I seem to be invisible to MBNA as far as claiming is concerned, although somehow they still seem very able to get statements to me on time.......

 

I submitted a claim through MCOL and tomorrow will be 15 days from the 'served date'.

 

I have not heard a thing from MBNA, but am now worried I've messed up (been trying so hard to read posts to get this right!!).

 

I was expecting a defence letter off their legal people so that I could then send them back a list of charges and interest etc.

 

1. As I've have no idea who to send it to, what am I supposed to do now.? :-?

2. If I click on the default judgement, will MBNA get this overturned by saying they have not had a list of charges (even though they have been sent with both the Prelim and LBA)? :evil:

You will probably not get any response from MBNA to yourself, I issued court proceedings for S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) none compliance and they just sent out required info in full and entered a late defence.

 

With charges when you did mcol you should have sent 2 copies of your schedule of charges to the court and the court would have forwarded one copy to MBNA. MBNA should still acknowledge your claim to the court even without list of charges as you can still get judgement by default if they don't acknowledge the claim. I would check with court office if you have not sent schedule of charges.

 

all the best dpick:)

Thanks for the words of wisdom dp,

 

MBNA have now entered into a last minute defence.........:mad:

 

What happens now??

 

1. Does this mean we both need to go to court to let the judge decide on the outcome?, how long does it usually take before we attend court?

 

2. Should I send the court (MBNA's) schedule of charges, if so, which court, the Moneyclaim one or do I wait until it's assigned to my local one?

 

Thanks
