    • love the extra £1000 charge for confidentialy there BF   Also OP even if they don't offer OOC it doesn't mean your claim isn't good. I had 3 against EVRi that were heard over the last 3 weeks. They sent me emails asking me to discontinue as I wouldn't win. Went infront of a judge and won all 3.    Just remember the law is on your side. The judges will be aware of this.   Where you can its important to try to point out at the hearing the specific part of the contract they breached. I found this was very helpful and the Judge made reference to it when they gave their judgements and it seemed this was pretty important as once you have identified a specific breach the matter turns straight to liability. From there its a case of pointing out the unlawfullness of their insurance and then that should be it.
    • I know dx and thanks again for yours and others help. I was 99.999% certain last payment was over six years ago if not longer.  👍
    • Paragraph 23 – "standard industry practice" – put this in bold type. They are stupid to rely on this and we might as well carry on emphasising how stupid they are. I wonder why they could even have begun to think some kind of compelling argument – "the other boys do it so I do it as well…" Same with paragraph 26   Paragraph 45 – The Defendants have so far been unable to produce any judgements at any level which disagree with the three judgements…  …court, but I would respectfully request…   Just the few amendments above – and I think it's fine. I think you should stick to the format that you are using. This has been used lots of times and has even been applauded by judges for being meticulous and clear. You aren't a professional. Nobody is expecting professional standards and although it's important that you understand exactly what you are doing – you don't really want to come over to the judge that you have done this kind of thing before. As a litigant in person you get a certain licence/leeway from judges and that is helpful to you – especially if you are facing a professional advocate. The way this is laid out is far clearer than the mess that you will get from EVRi. Quite frankly they undermine their own credibility by trying to say that they should win simply because it is "standard industry practice". It wouldn't at all surprise me if EVRi make you a last moment offer of the entire value of your claim partly to avoid judgement and also partly to avoid the embarrassment of having this kind of rubbish exposed in court. If they do happen to do that, then you should make sure that they pay everything. If they suddenly make you an out-of-court offer and this means that they are worried that they are going to lose and so you must make sure that you get every penny – interest, costs – everything you claimed. Finally, if they do make you an out-of-court offer they will try to sign you up to a confidentiality agreement. The answer to that is absolutely – No. It's not part of the claim and if they want to settle then they settle the claim as it stands and don't try add anything on. If they want confidentiality then that will cost an extra £1000. If they don't like it then they can go do the other thing. Once you have made the amendments suggested above – it should be the final version. court,. I don't think we are going to make any more changes. Your next job good to make sure that you are completely familiar with it all. That you understand the arguments. Have you made a court familiarisation visit?
    • just type no need to keep hitting quote... as has already been said, they use their own criteria. if a person is not stated as linked to you on your file then no cant hurt you. not all creditors use every CRA provider, there are only 3 main credit file providers mind, the rest are just 3rd party data sharers. if you already have revolving credit on your file there is no need to apply for anything just 'because' you need to show you can handle money. if you have bank account(s) and a mortgage which you are servicing (paying) then nothing more can improve your score, despite what these 'scam' sites claiml  its all a CON!!

    • 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.

Hello, I am claiming discrimination. How do I put a figure on it? I've mathematically set out all my other losses, loss of employment rights, etc. Or, would you leave it off the schedule of loss altogether? Thanks, Rebecca

Hi

 

If you are claiming discrimination, then then put on the schedule of loss `injury to feeling` and leave the rest blank [figure coulmn]

 

That way the ET are aware that you are claiming for injury to feeling and the figure will be decided at the remedies hearing,if you were to win your claim

'Loss' is limited to financial or economic loss. It does not extend to non-pecuniary loss such as injury to feelings...

Hi Bigredbus,

 

Thanks for your note. I've not submitted the SoL yet. Should I leave it off then? Presumably the Judge, if he sees fit, will award compensation for injured feelings? I don't need to make a point of it?

 

Regards, Rebecca

Hi Rebecca,

 

My apologies... I didn't read the entirity of the thread (once again!)... and as you are claiming unlawful discrimination, you are entitled to claim compensation for injury to feelings. However such award is not made automatically and it will be for you to show that you suffered such injury as result of the unlawful act. Nevertheless the burden on you is not a heavy one and the matter of feelings may be simply stated.

So, sorry, Bigredbus, but to be clear, should I leave it off the SoL and just stick to my actual financial loss? And, the matter of injury to feelings, I should bring up at the Hearing?

 

Thanks in advance, Rebecca

Hi, and sorry again for the fact that I don't always read the entirity of the thread before replying... :oops:

 

Yes... You should not make any mention of it on your schedule of loss, and you should bring it up at the hearing...

Hi Rebecca & Bigredus

 

Firstly ,BRB,you had me confused with your initial reply, thats why i hesitated with my reply.

 

Secondly, from my experience if there is no mention of the words`Injury to feelings`on the schedule of loss then the claimant may/will face difficulties,if the other side were to oppose or challenge[and they will] a claim that is not documented nor mentioned on the Schedule of loss,

 

There is absolutely no harm in stating the words `injury to feeling` on the schedule of loss, just to be on the safe side...but this decision is entirely yours rebecca.

Hi 'Madari',

 

Yes, I don't always read the entirity of the thread prior to replying...

 

Just to remind you that there is no need to add a field related to injury to feelings on the schedule of loss as including such award for injury to feelings is fundamental to a claim based on discrimination. Therefore, and as I mentioned in post #8 the matter of feelings may be simply stated at the hearing... :-)

We respect your views, 'Madari', and your experience of the court rooms... but I can assure you that the panel will be expecting that the claimant raises such a matter... :-)

Hi BrB,

 

I think you are missing the point,I am not disputing your comments.

 

My point is that once it is documented`[injury to feeling] then it has to be addressed one way or another,otherwise as you say Quote:`....the panel will be expecting that the claimant raises the matter.....`

 

lets not confuse poor rebecca...

Hi Big Red Bus, Madari,

 

Thanks for both your replies. How about I mention the upset caused in my witness statement? I'll be leaving a figure out of the schedule (as I can't quantify it in any case), but I will have recorded the fact that I have suffered as a result of my ex-employers words / actions.

 

I'd be grateful of any advice.

 

Thank you in advance.

 

regards, Rebecca
