    • Hi Lolerz Thanks for replying to me, yes I've been ignoring her & will continue to do so. All she keeps saying is they want to come up with an amicable settlement. Keeps saying this to our receptionist she shouldn't be saying this to a receptionist or even me in the first place as they have given no proof of anything no IP addresses noting just keeps saying about an amicable settlement.
    • If a DCA supplies a reconstituted copy of the CCA what would be the next step? It seems that a reconstituted copy must be a " true copy " of the executed agreement, it must contain the Prescribed Terms. But given that there is no copy of the applicants signature surely it could be an agreement form with the details filled in. How can it be assumed that this " copy " represents a true copy that the claimant has supposed to have signed. Cabot have demonstrated a bit of sabre rattling when they say "Until we're able to provide this information , your account is unenforceable. This means we're not permitted to obtain a County Court judgement against you . Whilst we cannot pursue legal action, your balance remains outstanding ". I looked up a case... Cabot UK Ltd  v  Bachellier (2010) which might help, but it's tough reading, I'd prefer to plough through War and Peace. This particular case with Cabot is not huge , approx' £140, but the only other worry that I have is also with Cabot...£2100. They may try to make a point with lesser case.
    • you'll never find a court open on a w/end MB. all courts are closed Good Friday and Bank Holiday Monday. However as Andy points out, that does NOT mean you get 2 extra days to file, you get one, same as xmas/new Year. UKPC have not filed their, so no rush on yours as dave says.

    • 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.

Good evening all and i am glad i stumbled upon your forum.

 

I am currently sorting out my mothers bills e.t.c while she is in respite care and have discovered she has 2 home insurance policies running alongside eachother.

 

A policy was in place with directline for her previous address which has been renewed upon her buying her new property. When purchasing this property she took out a small mortgage with nationwide who have automatically provided her with building and contents policy as well.

 

The direct line policy is £35 per month wereas the nationwide policy is £18 per month, they provide similar levels of cover and have both been paid from her bank account with nationwide for 10 months.

 

I am sure i have read or heard from somebody else that if 2 policies are in place at the same time then the insurers may refund 50% of the annual premium, is this correct?

 

What is my next best step/s? They are both paid monthly so my first thought is to cancel the directline policy and then investigate how to claim any money back?

 

many thanks in advance for any help provided.

Hi,

 

What you are referring to is called Dual Insurance.

 

Its fairly straight forward to sort out. All you need to do is decide which policy you want to keep (in this case you appear to have chosen the nationwide one, presumably due to the price)

Then you simply call up direct line, ask them what their process is for dual insurance, they'll probably ask you for proof of the other insurer, the cover thats in force (buildings/contents etc), the dates the cover was in force.

Then call nationwide and ask them the same question. Send each company what they ask for and they will liaise with each other and will sort out any refund that is due. Usually they will pay 50% each so you get a 100% refund of the cover that wasn't required.

 

hope this helps

Hi jbarnsie im sure someone will come along soon and offer the advice you need but for the moment dont be hasty by cancelling one over the other until you find out the best way to deal with it.

It may be that by cancelling the direct line insurance they may not refund any money due to the other policy starting second, you may stand a better chance of refund if you cancel the nationwide as a policy was already in place when that started but thats my opinion only.

Obviously the monthly premiums are quite a difference but that could be sorted after this.

One thing i forgot to point out is that you shouldn't always cancel a policy just cos its more expensive. Its always best to check the T&C's just to make sure that you are getting the right cover for your needs.

Just in case anyone says otherwise (insurance staff aren't always that au fait with insurance matters) having more than one insurance policy covering the same risk is NOT illegal. If you do get anyone at the insurer telling you this, simply ask to speak to someone else who knows about insurance.

no problem its the least i can do

 

spoke to direct line first very helpful advised me to send details of nationwide policy in post with a covering note (did last thursday)

 

nationwide then told me that as i had already contacted direct line i didnt have to write to them and they would dialogue with eachother.

 

will update when i hear anymore through the post.

 

many many thanks
