    • worthy to not forget Just to let you know this bunch Kensington have been fined £1.225m by the financial regulator for treating borrowers who were in arrears unfairly. Claim those charges back plus the interest and tell them not to add any more to the account. There are a few news stories here you can get the info for a letter to send to them. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8615870.stm  
    • Hi All. I went to visit a family friend in Rochdale on a new housing estate opposite a old row of houses. The location is Royle Road, Postcode OL11 3PE. I was originally parked in parking bays outside the old houses, then moved the car, when I noticed my tyre was flat, so parked on what looked like double yellows to use his air pump to check and inflate the tyres before we left the house.   In the time i went inside to sort the pump and power supply i got a PCN.  The tyre then got changed (has a puncture) and we left. PCN Number:         RE######## Date:             04/05/2024 Time:             20:36 Observation:         20:34 to 20:36 Reported location:     Royle Park Road Reason:        Parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours (Code: 01) I believe this PCN is not correct and has grounds to appeal: 1. My friend who moved into the property around 6 months ago, swears that even though it has old double yellows marked, they are not current or council marked.   He said the property development company had said they had marked them for ease of access during development. 2. The road i was parked on was Royle Road.  The PCN was issued for Royle Park Road, which is about 400 yards up the road. 3. There are no sign posts or marking showing parking  restriction hours in the entire area (there maybe on Royle park Road). I have attached a map of the Location where i parked as a red dot. I have 2 questions: a.  Is there a way to check where double yellow lines are marked on some register to check if they are current? b. Can my grounds of appeal simply be, wrong location, wrong offence? Thanks in advance. Map_20240505.pdf
    • you made it very confusing, though i doubt any of it was ever read by the delivery franchise for DPD. your saving grace might well be you didn't select your own address (though if you are all the same postcode..??) and neither mentioned a safe space other than another neighbour. but with the actual delivery address on the parcel, it appears the driver had a choice of 3 addresses, all under the same post code with differing house numbers. so chose the label one but left it on your doorstep. play it carefully and along with the photo and the retailers requirement you should be ok.   dx  
    • Are Resident car parks subject to Planning permission under Town and Country Planning {control of Advertisements ] Regulations? SCHEDULE 1CLASSES OF ADVERTISEMENT TO WHICH PARTS 2 AND 3 DO NOT APPLY Class A "1.  The advertisement is not readily visible from outside the enclosed land or from any place to which the public have a right of access." As a private residential site does the public have a right of access? This particular Act has so many caveats that even many Councils do not understand it and that includes me. Though I do understand it better than many council planning departments.

    • 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 everyone. What a great website. After reading alot of info on here i looked online at my statements for the past 6 years. I was amazed at how much i had been charged. £4585.07.

These charges come in the form of interest, charges and total charges. The charges/total charges range from £10 to £30 for the same thing. I wrote all the charges down but i'll now print off 72 pages and mark all the charges and send them with my letter.

When i ask for the money back do i ask for all of it or everything apart from the interest. Am i entitled to all the money or just a proportion as there entitled to charge me something. Another thing ive noticed is that sometimes ive been charged interest 2 or 3 times on the same day.

 

Cheers

Hi and Welcome

 

you can ask for everything that you have named wxcept the interest.You can claim part of the interest but it is complicated and hardly worth the time and effort needed so the majority don't bother , plus the bank is entitled to charge something to cover their ( very limited ) charges so usually its recommended not to claim it

 

The £10 charges seem low do you have some sort of account where you pay a monthly charge for it ?

What are total charges? I'm hoping you've not duplicated up here.

 

Re the interest, sometimes this is shown as gross, then tax deducted, then net, which could amount to your 3 figures on one day. Don't duplicate here either. You want to claim only the net.

No its ok ive not duplicated. There are times when they have taken for example.

£8.46 on 5th in interest

£1.94 on 5th in interest

£18 on 5th total charges

£36 on 5th total charges

£30 on 6th in charges

£30 on 7th in charges

£30 on 25th in charges

 

All in the same month. :confused:

The interests on the 5th. Do they both relate to that account? Sometimes you can have interest applied on an account, but deducted from another if agreed beforehand.

 

It just seems so odd, but then, that's banks for you. Let them explain if necessary.

 

Good luck.:)

Ive worked out that the bank have charged me £4282.01 and £213.99 in interest over the last 6 years. Im not sure where to put the 8% interest that im allowed to add. There isnt anywhere on the request for repayment letter to put the amount.

 

Cheers

Hi all. Well today is day 14 and still no reply from the bank so i'll send my LBA. Last night i started the spreadsheet for interest. I gather you just go over the top of what is already there but when i reached the totals it just deleated them and i wasnt shure how to carry on so i closed the spreadsheet not realising it was a web page so it didnt save :mad: so i'll have to start again. What have i done wrong.

 

cheers

well best bet is to download the spreadsheet in excel format

 

http://www.bankactiongroup.helpwithmypc.com/resources/BankCharges.xls

 

if you dont have m-s excel then download this, its free and is compatible with excel

by the way, make sure you send in your charges breakdown with your LBA,

Thanks Maverik.

 

I posted my LBA but didnt send the charges breakdown as i had already sent this with my first letter.

 

Today i recieved a reply stating that they dont agree that the charges are unenforcable, refering me to clause 7.11 in section 2 about overdrafts etc and that the charges are clear in their terms and conditions. Then there telling me to contact the OMBUDSMAN.

 

Standard letter i suppose.

 

As i have already sent the LBA should i ignore this letter and wait the 14 days then start court action.

 

By the way it was signed by Colin Landale (senior service quality officer) based at leeds.

i think it is but im certain ive read that its the last one they can do so they have to pay up not long after it but i also think the solicitors have to get their own copy from you not the bank so that they know what they pay you is right
