    • Well you could say that you have pictures where the signs were not on the wall where you parked so would require strict proof of when they were erected . But in any case it was dark so even if a sign was there you didn't see as it was not illuminated. Little point in not having signs that can be seen at night though it obviously makes it easier to issue PCNs and pursue motorists claiming they have breached non contractual contracts whilst breaching those same motorist's GDPR.
    • It fizzled out, they kept delaying the complaints process. In the end I believe they stopped charging me for a bunch of services, unsure if it was deliberate or a mistake so I stopped bringing it up. Ultimately we bought a house and moved out.
    • There are so many factors, and local elections are often far more about local issues and people, but the one previously general rule in a general election are that the hard core Tories vote Tory and hard core Labour voters vote labour   Gaza seems to have dulled both the muslim and Jewish labour votes more than the Tories - and I can see why - but do the muslim voters really think that the Tories will do ANYTHING other than talk and then do whatever the Americans say - and thats support Israel whatever they do first and foremost in real terms? Reform has unquestionably affected the Tory local vote - so should affect the GE vote a bit more, but has largely been factored in - reform isnt new in any way - its all Brexitish although there seem to be far more ex 'conservative' core reform/ukip/brexitish voters than ex 'labour' core voters - about 6-8% of the national vote in a GE seems to me. A little up on prior brexitish/faragits scores But the large swathes of center ground voters who decide who wins the election seem to have utterly deserted the Tories in their millions - although they have gone to labour, libdems and greens - and many real conservatives are in limbo despite Sunak being naturally more a thatcherite than most - his party currently seems far less so. Johnson promised much, and many were taken in, just as people (inc me) made that mistake with Farage in the early days - but we now know that they are self serving liars who can't be trusted with anything - although I still think it likely The Liar will be back - but most likely after the GE (60/40) Starmer is lacking in charisma and presence, but others in his cabinet should shine. But Corbynistas could still cause trouble - another group that seem happy to drag everything down if they think it suites   Johnson perhaps could reunite some of the Tory party - but he seems to have numerous criminal and political convistions sitting in the background should he try Lying about giving preference to dogs in the Afghan evacuations - and lying about it Unlawfully proroguing parliament embezzlement re funds and spending (eg flat referb) .. repeatedly Taking jobs before he should after being booted - should lose his PM pension and rights over that IMO the list goes on ad nauseam
    • Hi I am negotiating with my ex (commercial) landlord's solicitor for a debt I owe for rent. This has been going on for a little while and I expect they may go ahead with the court action they threaten. I wanted to ask however, In the event this action goes ahead, I think will have a response pack sent to me from the court, along with the claim. Google tells me that a section of this response pack is a 'Admit the claim and ask for time to pay'. Would this time to pay, if accepted also mean a CCJ registered against me? 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.

My son is going to try to claim charges from Capital One. Think he's had his card for about 3 years. Could anybody advise if this letter is acceptable?

Cheers. :)

 

Dear Sir

 

I am writing to request a fully comprehensive list of all the default charges that have been added to my account since its inception.

 

Please find enclosed a postal order for the maximum statutory charge of £10. If you are unable to provide this data, I will accept a copy of all my statements.

There's no problem with editing it but you need to make clear it is a subject access request under section 7 of the Data Protection Act 1998. You also want all information they hold (not just 6 years' statements - although statements will give you the information on charges) including evidence of any manual interventions on the account.

Statements have arrived, so now have to work out the charges. But I need some advice please -

 

Can son reclaim PPI?

 

They stipulated a credit limit but every month allowed him to go over it, consequently there are charges. And every month along with those charges there are 2 lots of interest added, same date, different amounts.

 

e.g.

13/12/02 LATE PAYMENT FEE £20.00

14/12/02 PPI £ 1.55

17/12/02 INTEREST (APPLIED) £ 1.59

17/12/02 INTEREST (APPLIED) £ 2.74

 

 

Can all be reclaimed?

Help please, any Cap1 experts reading this??

 

Could somebody please talk me through in baby steps?? I've read up on the PPI and will be claiming that back. Tried Vamps' chambers for spreadsheets but all links are broken, eventually found one in the library but have not a clue how to fill it in or what interest to reclaim.

 

I've gone through the statements and now have a total of all the charges, do I list them seperately on the spreadsheet?

 

Thanks for any advice. :confused:

Yes. List them individualy with Date Charged, Name of Charge and ammount. Dont include 8% yet untill you file at court.

Hi

 

You can claim back the Overlimit fees and Late payment charges. You need to list them in a spreadsheet. If you are asking for Contractual Interest, then this should be asked for from the start. If your not asking for APR then just list the charges, date, amount, reason, and days passed, then ask for them back.

 

To work out your APR, on your monthly statement you should have below the transaction box, your current Purchase interest and cash advance interest. It will be some thing like:

 

Purchase Interest 1.897%

Cash Interest 1.976%

 

Add these 2 figures together to get an average and divide by 2, then type it into this calculator found here:

 

http://www.shweb.pwp.blueyonder. co...Sheet_v1.9.xls

 

Do not use the spreadsheet on here, as it's for bank charges only. The calculator is very accurate. If you don't have your APR or % figures, call them asking what it currently is.

 

When you have your APR, type this into your spreadsheet on each charge. It is not uncommen for people to have an APR of 34%...

 

Hope this helps

Hi Ukaviator

 

Their APR was something like 29+% until last year I think, then it increased to 34+%.

 

Monthly transactions on statement read like this:

13/12/02 LATE PAYMENT FEE £20.00

14/12/02 PPI £ 1.55

17/12/02 INTEREST (APPLIED) £ 1.59

17/12/02 INTEREST (APPLIED) £ 2.74

 

 

Do I add both Interests together and divide by 2?

 

--

 

 

I've downloaded this spreadsheet: http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/Spreadsheets/England/Simple-charges-calc.xls

 

Do I have to enter all the cleared transactions?

 

And what about - 'Days since offence' ?

Does that stay in?

 

---------------

 

Thanks for your help, please stay with me because the penny's not dropping yet. :confused:

Hi

 

http://www.shweb.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/CompoundSheet_v1.9.xls

 

That looks like the simple charges spreadsheet, you need the compounded one. There are some links below where you can find the spreadsheets.

 

You do add the two rates together and divide by 2 for the average. Put the number you get into the small calculator found in the link above. This will give you the APR. You then add this to each charge in turn on the spreadsheet.

 

I will be back hopefully with a link for another spreadsheet if i can find it.

 

Try here: http://www.shweb.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/interestcalcs.xls

 

It's Steven4064 spreadsheet he uses.

Hi,

 

It's the Credit Card one from this site:

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general/6964-spreadsheet-interest.html

I've downloaded the one from your link now and it looks more user-friendly. Sorry, was getting confused, I thought you said in an earlier post not to use it because it's for bank charges only?

The one with the Calculator is for bank charges only. .the Version 1.9 one.

 

The calculator with it is just for your APR calculation. Glad you're getting through it ok.

Ok. . .at the bottom of the page after you type in the details when the first page opens up, you should see 3 panela at the bottom. Click the 8% interest one, this opens up the spreadsheet. Top right change the interest rate in the box to your APR figure. You will need to put the decimal point in. You should see the sample charges there change amounts as you hit the enter button. Now start filling in the spreadsheet with the dates, reasons, amounts etc.

Ahhhhh, by jove I think I've got it (for now). Thank you UK, much appreciated. Just 2 mini queries:

 

There are 2 columns on the page named -

'8% on Penalties' and '8% on Interest on these Penalties'

 

What should I change them to?

 

 

Also, the APR is 34.9% but the box is changing it to 35%, is this right?

Link to post
Share on other sites

Yes that's ok . .it rounded up the APR.

 

Just checking the spreadsheet now, the right hand column is adding interest onto interest for those penalties at 8% by the looks of it. If you delete the interest on each charge in turn it adjusts the total. The first column is adding the 35% to the charge when you input the amounts on the left. In the box in the 2nd column, change the 8% to 35%. The spreadsheet formula is doing the rest.

 

Remember you can't claim 8% and Contractual, it's one or the other, so delete the 2 right hand columns is how i see it.

You can but i think the purchase interest rate is the APR they use for PPI.

If you are having trouble with the spreadsheet, PM me with an e mail address and i can send you another which may be easier to use.
