    • The text on the N1SDT Claim Form 1.The claim is for breaching the terms and conditions set on private land. 2. The defendant's vehicle, NumberPlate, was identified in the Leeds Bradford Airport Roadways on the 28/07/2023 in breach of the advertised terms and conditions; namely Stopping in a zone where stopping is prohibited 3.At all material times the Defendant was the registered keeper and/or driver. 4. The terms and conditions upon  entering private land were clearly displayed at the entrance and in prominent locations 5. The sign was the offer and the act of entering private land was the acceptance of the offer hereby entering into a contract by conduct. 6.The signs specifically detail the terms and conditions and the consequences of failure to comply,  namely a parking charge notice will be issued, and the Defendant has failed to settle the outstanding liability. 7.The claimant seeks the recovery of the parking charge notice, contractual costs and interest.   This is what I am thinking of for the wording of my defence The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and are generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 1. Paragraph 1 is denied. It is denied that the Defendant ever entered into a contract to breach any terms and conditions of the stated private land. 2. Paragraph 2 and 4 are denied. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was only contracted to provide car park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. 3. It is admitted that Defendant is the recorded keeper of the vehicle. 4.  Paragraph 6 is denied the claimant has yet to evidence that their contract with the landowner supersedes  Leeds Bradford airport byelaws. Further it is denied that the Claimant’s signage is capable of creating a legally binding contract. 5. Paragraph 7 is denied, there are no contractual costs and interest cannot be accrued on a speculative charge.   I'm not sure whether point 4 is correct as I think this side road is not covered by byelaws? Any other suggestions/corrections would be appreciated.

    • Please provide advice on the following situation: I rented out my property to four students for 16 months until March 2024. Initially, the property was in very good condition, but now it needs extensive renovation. This includes redoing the bathroom, replacing the kitchen, removing wallpaper, and redecorating due to significant mould growth. The tenants also left their furniture on the grass, which is owned by the local authority. As a landlord, I've met all legal requirements. It seems the damage was caused by poor ventilation—windows were always closed, and heating wasn't used. There was also a bathroom leak fixed by reapplying silicone. I tried to claim insurance, but it was denied, citing tenant behaviour as the cause by looking at the photos, which isn't covered. The deposit barely covers the repair costs, or else I'll have to pursue money claims, which I've never done before and am unsure about its legal complications or costs. Any thoughts on this?

    • 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.

Barclays won't refund the £22 under FH however you have the personal reserve so I would get rid of it. Furthermore if it's only £22 it wouldn't necessarily be looked at as FH.

Do you have direct debits returned as well?

 

"vii.

repeatedly exceeding a credit card or overdraft limit without agreement (and, in this regard, where a complainant has incurred over £500 in unauthorised overdraft charges in the previous 12 months, that is to be treated as indicative of financial difficulty)."

 

It indicates hardship but may not necessarily be FH

It means that they will only look at charges from August 2008, right?

I had this special reserve fee £22.00 applied to my account each time I went into my overdraft facility, meaning that if I even went £5.00 in to my overdraft they would charge me £22.00 and ive had this account since July 2008

It was an opt out service rather than an opt in service(so they allegedly sent out letters to everyone around the time the account was opened explaining that).

Have you questioned the £22 charge before now?

Have you still have the personal reserve? Are you aware you can get it removed and you won't get charged £22.00?

I would write back and say they have a duty to consider your refund claim and, if they continue to refuse, you'll refer your case to the FOS.

Hi SG,

 

You should read through Bookie's thread here - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/barclays-bank/181529-right-war-bookie-barclays.html

 

Bookie suggests the Reserve Fees are not covered by the OFT test case because they were a significant change to their charging system.

 

The FSA waiver says Hardship Cases should continue to be looked at sympathetically.

 

Also, read MossySue's thread where Reserve Fees were repaid in full - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/barclays-bank/176248-hardship-reserve-charges-refunded.html

 

You could use this, adapted as you see fit:-

 

Dear sir or madam,

 

Account No xxx xxx

 

I refer to your letter of xxdate, in which you said you will not be making a refund of bank charges, despite my claim being made specifically because of Financial Hardship. This Financial Hardship still continues.

 

I must again remind you of your duty to comply with conditions agreed in the waiver of July 2007 and continuation of July 2008 between yourselves and the FSA.

 

I look forward to acknowledgment of this, with an undertaking that you will proceed to process it, as per the requirements of the terms agreed within the waiver.

 

I enclose an updated Schedule of Charges which includes all charges to date.

 

In view of the delay which you have already caused, if you now fail to handle this claim promptly, I will report the matter to the FOS and the FSA.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

If they reply saying the charges are proper and correct, or are covered by the OFT test case Stays, you can either:-

 

1. Complain to the FOS, as Bookie has done, but adding that your claim involves Financial Hardship.

 

2. Make a claim at court for a refund of the charges. Argue against a Stay on the basis that B's changed their system so the OFT test case is not applicable.

 

Having said this, the claim for FH will depend largely on your circumstances. There's more about this in Rory's post in MossySue's thread.

Have you actively Opted Out of the Reserve Fees system?

 

It's not clear from your comments above where you say you no longer have either the O/D facility, nor the Reserve amount.

 

Have you looked at opening an a/c elsewhere - this situation may be hard to resolve with the spiralling charges. Moving a/c's sooner rather than later would be good.

Hi SG,

 

it says clear that I no longer wish to have they special £22 reserve fee

 

What you've said here doesn't make it clear at all. This could be taken merely as an objection where you are saying, "I don't want you to charge me this fee".

 

If you want to opt out of the Reserve Fees charging system, I suggest you write :-

 

Dear sir or madam,

Account no. xxx xxxx

In case my earlier letters have not made the position clear, please accept this letter as my instruction to Opt Out of the Barclays Reserve Fees charging regime with immediate effect.

Please confirm the date from which my account will revert to the old fees system.

I look forward to hearing from you shortly.

Yours faithfully,

Send this by Rec'd Del'y or get a free Certificate of Posting at the PO when you send it by normal 1st class.
