    • I'm not sure we were on standard tariffs - I've uploaded as many proofs as I can for the ombudsman - ovo called last night uping the compensation to 100 from 50 pounds for the slip in customer service however they won't acknowledge the the problem them not acknowledging a fault has caused nor are they willing to remedy anything as they won't accept the meter or formula was wrong.   I'd appreciate more details on the economy 7 approach and I'll update the ombudsman with any information you can share. 
    • To re-iterate and highlight my urgent question on this one: The N24 from the court did not include any instructions to submit paperwork 28 days before the date, unlike the N157 received for other smaller claims. Do I have to submit a WS for this court date? Link has!...
    • 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.

I did my best today to have the stay removed but it wasn't good enough - I LOST!

The Judge wasn't interested, he said he was not qualified to make the decision and it was best to leave it to the high court! He didn't even want to see my court bungle and the solicitor representing Barclays just quoted a lot of legal jargon that i did not understand. The only thing that the Judge was interested in was saying how much of his time had been taken up by Bank Charges hearings! Barclays little weasel scurried off with a smile on his face when the Judge refused to lift the stay - I think it was a case of my time being wasted not he Judges as it was a dead cert of the outcome before i even got in the room - GUTTED sad.gif

What compound interest is that?

The courts will allow you to charge 8%p.a.

the bank owes me £3k thats less than £20 per month.

When I receive my settlement I will pay off the £3k Barclaycard bill I owe that they are able to charge about £50 interest a month on so it will cost me £1 a day in added interest until this is settled.

Im not going down this road again- if took me long enough to work it out for myself!

 

All money they have unlawfully debited is reclaimable.

 

The interest you have been scammed into paying on your unlawful charges was just as unlawfully debited as the charges, and you can claim it back using the same arguments as the charges.

 

Add charges and interest levied thereon, and that is the principal of your claim, compound interest accruing at a daily rate until settlement.

Hi All,

My claim against Barclays has been defended, with the statement below.

Does this mean that it will be stayed?

 

Thanks

 

"Defence

You are unable to take any further action online on this claim.

 

The Defendant disputes the whole amount you have claimed. Your claim cannot proceed online and will be transferred to the appropriate court for continuation. You will receive confirmation to where the claim has been transferred to shortly."

Quick Question....

i had my case stayed on 30th Aug in Kingston along with about 20 others. Is it worth me applying for a lift on the stay? i am suffering financial hardship as a result of the outcome and Barclays have continued to charge me (£430 since initial claim). Should i apply or just keep my £35 which will pay my electric bill??

Barclays hearing 30th Aug 07 - now Barclays pay Feb 09!!

:confused: Hi, my case was won on the 19th of July because of a lack of defense by the bank, the oft went to the high court on the 28th.

 

So my case was won 9 days before that, does anyone know how i stand legally? they tried to apply for a stay for this reason and have changed their minds to an administration error!

 

Im in court tomorrow (13/09/07)

 

Shan. :)

definately, I would go for a lift of stay stating your financial harship and in the alternative request that Barclays stop applying charges untill the test case has been decided as it is putting you in financial hardship and advise the court that you have had a further £430 in charges. I did read somewhere that Barclays were not going to object to stays being lifted but how true that is I do not know.

 

I have also read that that the test case may not now proceed! there was an article on the BBC a couple of days ago and the OFT may announce this shortly. If you find this article in the news section I would take a print out of that article and send it in with your lift of your stay. I have just found it for you.

BBC NEWS | Business | OFT may compromise on bank fees

Let us know how you get on.

Yes £35 without you attending and I believe it is £65 if you want to attend. I would either check on line or phone the courts for guidance. It may be easier and wiser to plead your case in person, because then you can explain to the judge how their charging regime is putting you in fincial hardship.
