To get this back on topic......


I've had no success using templates trying to get money back before the test case started. Lloyds has taken in excess of 300 quid from me in bank charges and i wrote them twice and never got an offer of settlement. Because I live out of the country I've been slow in mailing my reply to them. I'm going to try it once more and than take it to court since um I want my money.


I agree with the thought that it's down to poor money management on my behalf but on the other hand they should not be going into unauthorized overdraft....I find it odd that if I try and buy something and don't have the money for it, it'll go through anyway and I'll just be charged later. I'd rather just be denied at the time with 'insufficient funds'. Glad the post above got 90% of their money back though. Hopefully I'll be as lucky

Oh for gods? sake!


???? - You came out with an intentionally provocative and self satisfied post. That is fine but don?t expect to not get a reaction. I reacted by voicing my distaste.


I am not, do not consider myself to be and was not trying to be some kind of forum sheriff.


I am also not claiming anything from my bank and my financial situation is just fine thank you. Not that it is any of your business but you seem to ascribe some kind of value to it so there you go.


I do however have a strongly developed sense of fair play and therefore serious moral objections to the way the banking system operates. (and the legal system, government, most corporate structures, delivery of public services, foreign policy??)


Your post made you sound smug. Especially the way you tried to make out how happy you are that everyone else?s misery was paying for your free banking. That is ok but just as you are entitled to your opinion and to voice it, so am I.


Although I think I put this all a lot more eloquently the first time.


Now I know I should really just let this be as I think we are both flogging a dead horse now but I can?t help myself trying to get one last word in. Petty I know.


Well at least we may have provided some entertaining reading.


And for those who are actually busy making claims from your banks, I sincerely apologise for hijacking your thread.

Ok, ok Sean, point taken! lol! though to put my tupenceworth in:- my bank have just out of the blue and without my request or authority just increased my overdraft from ?1,400 to ?2,200! I phoned them up and said I didn't want it as I was trying to get my current overdraft down as it was and had managed to get it down slowly bit by bit on a monthly basis. I said this is just not right and seriously tempting people who have limited resources to overspend, they said apparently they had sent a letter to me saying I now qualified for that kind of huge overdraft (which I didn't receive) and that it was there and would only be triggered if I actually went over my current ?1,400 limit, which is disgusting, have written to Manager of Natwest to complain. I don't even have that much going into my account on a monthly basis!

    • Thanks that’s all really useful.
    • Looks like they have massive issues with numbers of visitors too... “People have literally just arrived and are refusing to leave. Chaos. They booked out all the lane spaces but let people in. Absolute sh*t show.” https://www.the-londoner.co.uk/were-police-called-to-brockwell-lido/
    • I agree that someone somewhere must at one point decided on their purpose, however if anything was ever written down it is probably long lost, given the turnover of councillors and council staff . The Crofton Park noticeboards I mentioned above are solely for information about the council  and various community groups and activities, plus  various community related things such as the library times and services.  I think they are very bright, interesting and inviting, however I am not going back there solely in order to take a photo The ones in East Dulwich don't have much on them because ... well, for the reasons on this thread 🤣 Quite apart from the fact that these are supposed to be community notice boards, there are all sorts of reasons why they should not be used for private businesses to advertise, as I and others have already said. Yes there have been huge changes in the area, but I can't see how those changes affect the purpose of community noticeboards, unless you think that the changes mean that there is no longer a "community" in East Dulwich. Which would be very sad indeed. Anyway, I am stepping away from this thread now, I have other things to do 🙄
    • From experience, it's the norm that the local authority reject appeals regardless of facts. Suggest you appeal and highlight that you followed the requirements by using the app to log the parking session and the failure of the app / network to register this is a technical issue beyond your control for which you can not be held responsible for and accordingly not penalised. Also that the traffic wardens records confirm you were parked for less than the free period so again should not be penalised. Do a search on web for similar appeals The 'fight back forum' website used to be very good for people sharing there appeals experience; and looks like this is no longer running but try https://www.ftla.uk I've appealed loads of Penalty Charge Notices for myself, friends and family and all been successful. In approx half of the appeals the local authority did not even respond and were won by default.  Re 20p fee - check if you you have text message alert 'on' as these are generally charged for and if so turn it off to save text fee. Hope this helps For Clarity, you need to follow the process, so have to first appeal to the local authority that issued the PCN (sounds like you've done this).  Then you can appeal to the London Tribunals and the local authority have to tell you this and tell you your reference number to submit this appeal.   Also when you submit appeal - choose 'no contravention occurred'
