    • Thank you very much for your letter in regard to the above mentioned shipment.  Due to the high volume of parcels coursing through the courier network each day, undergoing continuous processing and handling, certain packages may experience delays or even can get lost in the course of this journey. Please note that due to the time that has passed, this shipment has been declared as lost.  I have today processed the claim and made offers to the value of £75 as a goodwill gesture without prejudice. I do acknowledge that you have mentioned in your letter that the value was higher, however, you did not take out any protection to that amount. The protection for this shipment was £20 and we will not be increasing our goodwill offer any further.    Please log into your account online in order to accept our offer. Once accepted, our accounts department will process the claim accordingly. The claim payment will be processed and received within 7 working days.                                  In addition, a refund of the carriage fee will be processed as a separate payment and will be received within 3 working days.  If I can further assist, please feel free to contact me.   I have also just noticed that yesterday afternoon they sent me an email stating that "after my request" they have refunded the cost of shipping. I did not request the refund so will mention that in my letter as well.
    • Hi I had to leave Dubai back in 2011, during the financial crisis. And only now have I received a letter from IDRWW. Is this anything to worry about about as I have 2 years left until it’s been 15 years(statute barred in Dubai). Worried as just got a mortgage 2 years ago. Could they force me in to bankruptcy? Red lots of different threads on here. And unsure what true and what isn’t. 
    • Not that TOR will see this now he's thrown in the hand grenade. Rayner has plenty of female supporters on X, for a start. As for the council and HMRC, fair enough and I thought Rayner was already in touch with them.

    • Often with the Likes of Lowells/ Overdales that 'proof' doesn't stand up to scrutiny.   Think about it like a game of poker, they want to intimidate you into folding and giving up as soon as possible, and just get you to pay up and roll over, that is their business model, make you think your cards are rubbish. What they don't expect, and their business isn't set up for it, is for a defendant to find this place and to learn that they have an amazing set of cards to play. Overdales don't have an infinite number of lawyers, paralegals etc, and the time / money to spend on expensive court cases, that they are highly likely to lose, hence how hard they will try to get you to roll over.  Even to the extent of faking documents, which they need to do because the debts that they purchased were so cheap, in the first place. Nevertheless it works in most cases, most people chicken out, when they are so close to winning, and a holding defence is like slowly showing Overdales your first card, and a marker of intention that this could get tricky for them. In fact it may be,  although by no means guaranteed that it won't even go any further than that.  Even if it does, what they send you back will almost certainly have more holes than Swiss Cheese, and if with the help you receive here, you can identify those weaknesses and get the whole thing tossed in the bin.

    • 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.

Opened a current account with Lloyds TSB yesterday and gained a bit of useful info for anyone wanting to open a parachute account.

 

Basically if you are not credit worthy enough for a full current account, you get offered a cash-account. It doesn't have a solo / electron card, just a cash card, but you can do internet banking, DD's and Standing Orders.

 

The big difference I think though is that there is a genuine chance of your account being upgraded to a full account after 6-12mths. Basically he told me that they have their own scoring system on a scale of 1-9, with 9 being the biggest risk (think I have got that the right way round) and if you operate your account well, not getting charges (!!!), paying money in etc, then your 'risk' number gets lower. Once it gets to a certain level the computer automatically will let you upgrade to a fully functioning account. You can do this via internet banking as there is a tab on there to see if you are eligible yet.

 

My husband has been with TSB for years and his credit record is far from perfect - by their own terms, he should not have a Credit Card as he has a CCJ registered against him and yet just last week he applied and got one...with a hefty credit limit too.

 

Just wanted to make people aware of it as I know it is not one that gets mentioned a lot.

 

Hope that helps some people.

I applied & was accepted for the cash account (I was knocked back for a current account surprise surprise!), and was a bit miffed to find out that you can't add Paypal to the account to transfer money into the cash account.

 

I didn't want to fund my Paypal account from the cash account, just take out the £300 that's stuck in Paypal with me not being able to use it!

Really??? Wow, I had NO idea about that. I wonder why that is? Is there no other account you can transfer it to, anyone that you trust?

As long as you have the account number and sort code, you should be able to add it to Paypal.

 

Click on Profile > Bank Accounts > Add.

 

Fill in the relevant details, click 'Add Bank Account'.

 

After you've done that, it will ask you to confirm the account. No need to do that unless you want to use it to put money into Paypal. If you want to use it to transfer money from Paypal to your account it should let you do it straight away.

Hahaha!!! Tis all mine (Well, rent money!)

 

I asked at my branch and on their customer service tele number. I asked because you get a charge back of £14 from Paypal if your bank rejects the bank details, so thought it best to check first before adding the details.

 

In all honesty tho, it was an indian call centre I got thru to and she said no, went into the branch the next day to be told you can't as well :(

I also have a cardcash account from years back (as well as a full current account) so I am going to give it a go with my paypal account and will let you know the outcome. At the moment Paypal are transferring the two amounts to my bank account so if they go in I would assume that everything is ok.

That's only if you confirm the account and try to set it up for direct debits.

 

You should be able to just add an account without confirming it, see my previous post.

But you are allowed DD's from the cardcash account anyway, so I can't see why TSB have a problem with it?

In that case I have no idea why Sazz thinks the account can't be used for Paypal unless there's something she hasn't mentioned here.

I can confirm on the Lloyds TSB thing...

 

I opened a cash account, which wasn't the most fantastic, as I only had a card that could be used in their cash machines...and I live in a tiny village so tha didn't help.

 

Had the account about a year when I got asked to join their select account. Got a current account at long last, with a visa electron, so getting there!

Just had this response I sent via internet banking email:

 

Dear Dolly

 

Thanks for your e-mail about whether or not we accept payments from paypal.

 

We do in fact accept payments in this way. However in order to find out the process on how to set up the payments you would need to contact paypal directly as it is their process.

 

I hope this information is helpful to you.

 

If there's anything else we can help you with, please don't hesitate to let us know.

 

Many Thanks

Nope, not any more info I can give you, but I called again yesterday during the day and spoke to someone again.

 

I explained that I wanted to add my cashaccount with LLoyds to my Paypal account. I only wanted to add it to transfer funds FROM Paypal, I don't want to fund the Paypal account. I told her that I'd been told twice I couldn't, but neither of the members of staff I spoke to didn't actually know who Paypal were, hence the reason for asking on here when I saw this thread.

 

I called yesterday after speaking to you guys and explained what I wanted to do again. She said she wasn't sure as it was a basic account only, so she would check with someone for me. She put me on hold and came back stating that I couldn't use this account with Paypal as it's a basic cash account. I said that I only wanted to transfer funds INTO LLoyds, not take funds FROM Lloyds to Paypal. I also asked how come I could have DD and benefits paid into the account but not Paypal transfers as they work on the same principle! She then asked me if I'd thought about upgrading to a current account, which would let me use Paypal transfers. I told her I'd applied originally for the Student current account but was declined & offered the cash account, which I took. (Parachute!)

 

I honestly have no idea now!! I think I'll just add it & try it. I just find it strange as I have a First Direct DD for insurance and benefits getting paid in, so how come I can't give LLoyds money from Paypal? You think they'd want funds going into the account!!

Sazz I think they are just saying no because they don't have a clue what Paypal is.

 

I suspect they are typing 'Paypal' into their computer and "computer says no".

 

Just add the account to Paypal - I'm 99.99% sure it will work - there's no reason why it won't.

Most banks have their own internal credit rating systems for existing customers. Experian etc charge per search so it's cheaper for them to do it in-house where possible.

 

They don't like parting with money ;-)
