    Re: bank-smart lose in court over t&c's

    Hi Guys,

    Its me again. I have had another 50 emails from Bank Smart they have tried to get me to open new claims with them They are thick. I as of 9 May 2011 put my complaint in the hands of the ICO for Data Protection issues.

    They have continued without my permission to gain my files from my bank or from the old claims that had been terminated and with an email from them confirming this. I have emailed them 20 times telling them its a breach of sec55 1 of the Data Protection Act This is now a criminal offence and get this I( had a treatening email yesturday telling me to stop with lies that Bank Smart are commiting a criminal offence and if I dont stop I will be in trouble.

    They are going to add fee for all my canceled claimes to the charging order and sell my house.
    I told them when I canceled all dealings with them this terminates all the T and C and all the orignial contract details so they cannt hold me to any contract terms because they have gone.

    I am being threatened on a daily basis.

    I have had 150 emails from them

    Advise please

      Email filter: Block sender. That will stop receipt of them and should they decide to use pen and quill then job done. You can't respond to an email you haven't received, can you?

        Have you told the banks you have withdrawn authority for bank smart to act on your behalf ? If not it may be an idea to do so.

            Could you possibly scan and post their claimed T&C for people here to study, as well as what they claim to have done that was worth £130, at which people here may guffaw?

              (The Third Party means any person, firm or company that provided the Client with an account, policy, bill, or
              other service which is subject to review by the Company, or any party that the Client believes has caused a
              personal injury or other disadvantage or financial penalty/mis-selling.)
              2. Your obligations and the fees payable
              2.1) You agree that the Company is fully authorised to act on your behalf to make a subject access request under the
              “Data Protection Act 1998” and/or “Consumer Credit Act 1974” and to act on your behalf to recover all unfair
              charges applied to your account, policy premium or other claim/refund over the last 6 years or 5 years for
              Scottish accounts or for any period for which is allowable by law and may result in a higher settlement being
              provided by the Company. You agree that any fee requested by the Third Party following a request for
              information which is allowable by law (and not exceeding a value of ten pounds per account/policy/financial
              product) will be recovered from you if paid by Bank-Smart on your behalf initially.
              2.2) You agree that once the Company has started the claim process on your behalf with the Third Party, the
              Company’s standard fee as set out in condition 2.8 of these terms and conditions will apply to any settlement,
              debt write off/reduction or other benefit agreed upon with the Third Party through either the Company or you
              personally, settlement direct from your bank/financial institution or through another claims management
              company and you authorise settlement to be paid direct to Bank-Smart whether or not any settlement is referred
              to as a gesture of goodwill or otherwise.
              2.3) Once the Company has started the claim process, in the event that the Third Party issue a settlement directly to
              your account or reduces your debt with them by the same amount, or other benefit, you agree to contact the
              Company within 14 working days and pay any monies owed to the Company under the terms of this agreement
              within 14 working days of said compensatory deposit or acknowledgement of settlement.
              2.4) We reserve the right to make a processing charge of up to a maximum of one hundred and fifty pounds (in
              addition to our original fees) if we have to take legal action to recover our fees from you. This charge will
              apply to each court claim issued against you in the event that you fail to pay our fees and court action is
              required to recover them from you.
              2.4.1) We reserve the right to charge a fee per invoice (in addition to our original fees) if we have to instruct
              third party collectors to recover our fees from you. The fee charged will be based on a sliding scale as follows:
              Invoice Value: £0 - £99.99 = Collection Fee: £10; Invoice Value £100 - £249.99 = Collection Fee: £25; Invoice
              Value £250- £749.99 = Collection Fee: £40; Invoice Value: £750 + = Collection Fee: £75.
              2.5) You agree that you will inform the Company within 14 working days of receiving any correspondence from the
              Third Party in relation to the claim that the Company is making on your behalf and that you agree to the Third
              Party supplying documents direct to Bank-Smart.
              2.6) You agree that if you reach a settlement with the Third Party after the date of signing our letter of engagement
              that our standard fee will be applicable plus any legal costs incurred by the Company.
              2.7) Subject to the provisions of condition 2.8, you shall pay each invoice submitted to you by the Company in full
              and cleared funds within 14 working days of receipt.
              2.8) Due to the complicated nature of the claim and the expenses involved, we charge the following fees:
              2.8.1) Twenty five percent of the amount the Third Party agrees to pay in settlement of the claim or deduct
              from any debt you have with the Third Party plus VAT, subject to the recovery of our processing costs* plus:
              2.8.2) costs** which includes VAT, all court costs and legal fees (requested from the Third Party by the
              Company where legal action is taken to complete the claim) and such fees will be deducted from the final
              settlement payment received from the Third Party, or will be paid to Bank-Smart by you within 14 working
              days of receiving settlement should payment be made directly to you or your debt with the Third Party be
              reduced by the same amount or other benefit.
              2.8.3) Any company you claim against may charge you up to ten pounds for the provision of
              statements/agreements and if they are unable to deduct this from your account we may pay it on your behalf
              and invoice you for the same amount.
              *Our basic processing costs are based on the expenses we have incurred during the process of your claim. We
              will always try to mitigate these costs where possible and you can contact us at any time for the up-to-date
              incurred in processing of your claims. **Where legal proceedings are required to settle your claim we will
              charge for the preparation of the legal documents of between one hundred and fifty and four hundred and fifty
              pounds dependent upon the complexity of the claim. If the Company determines that the value of your claim
              will not reasonably cover the costs of such preparation we may discontinue your claim after giving written
              notice to you. In any event written authorisation will be required from you before such preparations will be
              carried out by the Company.
              2.9) The costs payable under condition 2.8.2 will either be deducted from the final settlement received or be
              payable by you (should payment from the Third Party be made directly to you or your debt with the Third
              Party be reduced by this amount). You agree to authorise payments to be made direct to Bank-Smart under
              reference EC.2.1.
              2.10) You agree that in the unlikely event that your claim is not settled before the date of any hearing scheduled to
              address this matter you will attend said hearing in person at the required court. In the event a hearing is
              scheduled and required to be attended, the Company will contact you prior to the hearing date to confirm your
              attendance. Failure to attend the said hearing will result in a failed claim and you will be responsible for all
              applicable costs.
              2.11) The Company will deliver invoices during the course of the claim for our fees (as set out in condition 2.8)
              whenever a settlement from the Third Party is made (whether or not such payment is in part settlement or full
              settlement) and for the avoidance of doubt further invoices will be issued whenever any further settlement is
              paid, your debt reduced by way of settlement or other benefit received by you.
              2.12) You agree to cover our reasonable processing costs plus VAT per claim plus all court costs and legal fees
              (where such fees have been paid on your behalf). A full list of our basic processing costs can be obtained by
              request at no cost by emailing claims@bank-smart.co.uk, by writing to 11-15 Betterton Street, Covent Garden,
              London, WC2H 9BP, or by visiting the Company website.
              2.13) Due to the complicated nature of the claim and the tactics used by financial institutions to delay claims, the
              total time taken for claims to complete can vary greatly. For this reason, timescales are given only as a guide
              to averages only and you must understand that claims, particularly for personal current accounts, could take a
              long time to complete and you agree to be bound by these terms until completion or cancellation having paid
              the cancellation fee in full. Success is in no way guaranteed or implied.
              2.14) You shall co-operate with the Company in all matters relating to the claim and in particular respond to the
              Company’s correspondence as soon as reasonably practicable or you may incur further costs.
              2.15) Without prejudice to any other right or remedy it may have, if you fail to pay the Company on the due date for
              payment, the Company may:
              2.15.1) suspend services on all or some of your claims until payment has been made in full.
              2.15.2) forward to a third party debt recovery company at a further cost per invoice (see term 2.4.1).
              2.15.3) issue court proceedings for the recovery of the debt plus £150 administration and all applicable costs
              and interest.
              3. Liability
              3.1) This condition 3 sets out the entire financial liability of the Company (including any liability for the acts or
              omissions of its employees, agents or sub-contractors to the Company) in respect of:
              3.1.1) any breach of this agreement; and
              3.1.2) any representation, statement or tortious act or omission (including negligence) arising under or in
              connection with this agreement.
              3.2) The Company’s liability to you – the Company shall not be liable to you for any loss or damage as a result of:
              3.2.1) the Company having acted on your instruction or following receipt of any information from you;
              3.2.2) the Company’s services being unavailable through any cause beyond our reasonable control.
              3.3) The Company will not be held responsible, other than that carried out by the Company, by any action taken by
              the Third Party against you as a result of any claim made on your behalf by the Company.
              3.4) You must disclose if you have received any settlement for any claim on the account/policy/product specified
              within the last 6 years or any part of monetary recompense or have instructed another organisation to do so on
              your behalf. Failure to disclose this information in writing will leave you liable for all reasonable costs incurred
              by the Company.
              3.5) You agree that any debt or liability incurred by you under this agreement shall be solely the responsibility of
              you, the Claimant, unless as a direct result of the actions of Bank-Smart.
              3.6) The Company reserves the right:
              3.6.1) to apply any monies recovered for you on any claim in or towards satisfaction of any monies due by
              you and payable to the Company in respect of that claim and any other claims dealt with or being dealt with for
              you by the Company.
              4. Cancellation and Termination
              4.1) You have 14 days from the date of signing the Letter of Engagement to cancel your claim(s) or 14 days from

              the greater. For a full list of these charges write to us at Bank-Smart, Cancellation Team, 11-15 Betterton St,

              9.1) A waiver of any right under this agreement is only effective if it is in writing and it applies only to the party to

              Notices given under this agreement shall be in writing, sent to the address or email address provided by you or
              in the form of comments through your online secure Bank-Smart account. A notice is deemed to have been
              received: if delivered personally, at the time of delivery; in the case of email, at the time of transmission; in the
              case of pre-paid first class post or recorded delivery, 48 hours from the date of posting; and, if deemed receipt
              under this condition is not within business hours (meaning 9.00 am to 5.30 pm Monday to Friday on a day that
              is a business day), at 9.00 am on the first business day following delivery. To prove service, it is sufficient to
              prove that the notice was transmitted by email to the email address of the party or, in the case of post, that the
              envelope containing the notice was properly addressed and posted.
              14. Tax Claims
              14.1) Tax refund claims may be passed to a third party Company for processing and any commission due must be
              paid directly to them. Bank-Smart reserves the right to invoice you directly for the basic processing costs
              incurred plus VAT and the third party Company will reduce their invoice by the same amount should payment
              not be made within 60 days from the date of invoice. We are obliged to inform you that where we refer a claim
              to a third party Company we may receive a referral fee. We receive from £10 to 50% of the commission

                If they have not fullfilled their part of the contract, or you have not received any settlement for such accounts then you are not liable for paying them any fees. As you clearly have not received any settlement to which their fees apply too.

                I would simply write back stating that the agreement was that they would reclaim unfair charges and fees etc (or whatever they were reclaiming for you) and as they have failed to actually do so, and no settlement has been received by you, then they have failed to fufill their side of the contract and as such they are not entitled to any monies from you.

                See 2.11 which makes it clear you only have to pay per account as and when you receive a settlement on that account. And the same under 2.9 which makes it clear fees under 2.8.2 are payable upon receipt of settlement only.

                So really the question is, have you actually received any settlement directly from the banks/creditor the accounts are with or through bank smart?

                  When did they deign to provide that statement of their terms and conditions?

                  I am sure that some parts, at least, could prove to be unenforceable.

                    Well that T&C was sent to me last week when first recieved the invoices which i must state had not attachment to it just that it said i owe this amount for this unsuccessfull claims. i emailed them asking that i was not aware that i had to pay only that when i reclaimed then they sent me this T&C pdf form.

                    i dont remember to be honest if this was the original only because i that time i was told it would be quick and easy.

                    i have not recieved a single penny from either the banks or them because these invoices are for a unsuccessful claims.

                      Then as i said in an my earlier post, you do not have to pay them anything since you have not received any settlement and they have therefore not fulfilled their part of the contract and as such are not entilted to any monies they alleged are owned as confirmed in the terms i pointed out in my earlier post.

                        The applicable terms would be those - if any - that were included with the claim pack. Anything they may have sent subsequently would have been too late to form part of the contract.

                        I do not believe you owe them anything - neither in terms of money nor even in terms of respect.

                            When you say 1 of 4 claims being unsuccessful, what happened to the other 3 claims and were they handled by Bank Smart and is it one of those 3 claims they are charging you for, or is it for the unsuccessful claim they are trying to charge you for?

                            Just been on their website, i wonder how many of their affiliates have consumer credit licenses? - Bank-Smart - Affiliate

                              I'm not sure they are required (by Wan...^W BankSmart) to hold a current Consumer Credit Licence. Just look at their Terms and Conditions - link; all that seems to concern them is whether the "affiliate" can be considered exempt under section 4 (1) of the Compensation Act 2006 (link). The BSers at BS seem to have the idea (gathered from heaven alone knows where) that someone who refers less than 25 claims per quarter would be an "exempt introducer", which is the term used in the MoJ guidance document - PDF link where it is actually rather more complicated than BS would have one believe.
