    • I've looked through all our old NPE threads, and as far as we know they have never had the bottle to do court. There are no guarantees of course, but when it comes to put or shut up they definitely tend towards shut up. How about something like -   Dear Jonathan and Julie, Re: PCN no.XXXXX cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea that you actually expected me to take this tripe seriously and cough up. I'll write to you not some uninterested third party, thanks all the same, because you have are the ones trying to threaten me about this non-existent "debt". Go and look up Jopson v Homeguard Services Ltd, saddos.  Oh, while you're at it, go and look up your Subject Access Request obligations - we all know how you ballsed that up way back in January to March. Dear, dear, dear - you couldn't resist adding your £70 Unicorn Food Tax, you greedy gets.  Judges don't like these made-up charges, do they? You can either drop this foolishness now or get a hell of a hammering in court.  Both are fine with me.  Summer is coming up and I would love a holiday at your expense after claiming an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to your deafening silence.   That should show them you're not afraid of them and draw their attention to their having legal problems of their own with the SAR.  If they have any sense they'll crawl back under their stone and leave you in peace.  Over the next couple of days invest in a 2nd class stamp (all they are worth) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above
    • In anticipation of lodging my court claim next Weds 1 May (14 days after advising P2G that was my deadline for them to settle my claim) I have completed my first draft POC as below: Claim Claim number: xxxxx Reference: P2G MAY 2024   Claimant xxxxx   Defendant Parcel2Go 1A Parklands Lostock Bolton BL6 4SD  Particulars of Claim The defendant has failed to arrange for the safe delivery of the claimant's parcel containing a 8 secondhand golf clubs (valued at £265) that was sent to a UK address using their delivery service (P2G Reference xxxxx). The defendant contracted Evri to deliver the parcel (Evri Reference xxxxx) and refuses to reimburse the claimant on the grounds that the claimant did not purchase their secondary insurance contract. The defendant seeks to exclude their liability in breach of section 57 Consumer Rights Act. The secondary insurance contract is in breach of section 72. The claimant seeks reimbursement of £265, plus P2G fees of £9.10, plus postage costs for two first class letters to P2G of £2.70, plus court fees, plus interest. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from xxxxx to xxxxxx on £276.80 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £xxxx   Details of claim Amount claimed £276.80 I look forward to your thoughts and comments guys! As ever, many thanks - G59

    • 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.

Hi there,

 

Been recommended here by a friend who successfully claimed back charges against his account. I have read through all the FAQ's about the processes and where i stand should things get hairy.

 

I'm hoping to send my SAR tomorrow, but two questions i would like to ask RBS account holders is who do you make the £10 cheque payable to? And secondly, does it make any difference sending my letter and funds to my branch or the address in Edinburgh?

 

In the meantime i will continue to work my way through the various threads within this section.

 

Many thanks,

John

Should i receive a courtesy letter to say that they are processing my request or does RBS not do this?

In my experience they do not do this, and they don't include a compliments slip or note when they send the statements either! Is frustrating isn't it because you worry if the request has gone to the right person.

 

You will have seen from other threads that RBS don't always comply with the 40 day deadline, so be prepared to hassle them. But your staements will come.

Well my mind was thinking if they would be doing anything but from what you've told me i'm going to have to give them some work to do anyway :D

Well i got my statements through this morning, and after having a brief look throuigh over my breakfast there are a few things i have questions on.

 

I take it on my statements where is says CHG against my account, is basically what i can claim back?

 

One thing i would like to query though, on my statements it says the following thing, for example.

 

INT TO 29DEC A/C ******** £7.19 withdrawn

CHG TO 27DEC A/C ******** £32.50 withdrawn

 

How much of this interest can i claim back? this is not the only time its appeared on my statements. and it amounts to quite a bit.

 

Thanks in advance

John

if you go to vampiress chamber and look at the spreadsheet there you enter the balance on the account at the time and that calculates how much of the interest is allowable. take your time and post back if you have any problems.

Stacey thanks for the reply.

 

I'll take a look at the spreadsheet, but one thing i need to clear up is, that particular charge. On some of my statements it is about £5 in one particular month and £34 for the next.

 

Is this CHG to do with the agreed overdraft i have on my account? If so i could understand paying £5, but why does it fluctuate so much, is it because on particular months where it rises to £34 i have gone over my overdraft?

 

thanks

John

if on a normal month its £5, anything above that will be a penalty charge. So claim for any anything above the standard charge i'e £29.

 

Double check what the standard charge is, it varies on different types of accounts!

Ok, finally i've worked my way through my statements and prepared a spreadsheet, i'm going to transfer it across to one of the recommended spreadsheets on here.

 

One thing i've become worried about over the last couple of days is the possibility of my account being closed. Have RBS been known to do this?

I think they only tend to close accounts if you claim against them more than once, but as me says best to be prepared!

Thought i'd dig this thread up again, i've been a bit slack over the last couple of weeks.

 

I'm now at a stage to send my prelim letter, but there are so many addresses to send it to, who is best. I'd rather not give it to my branch if possible

Hi big lad

 

Seems like you and I are at the same stage of claiming against rbos.

as ive just sent my prelim letter about four days ago.

 

I dont think it matters where you send your prelim letter as it always gets to the right dept eventually. I sent mine to customer relations.

Did you send it registered mail? you can then follow the progress of it.

 

Good luck with your claim (not that you will need luck!)

Ok i've updated my spreadsheet ready to send to RBS, but would anyone be able to take 10 minutes or so to kindly check mine over and make sure i've got everything down and make sure i'm not claiming for stuff that i shouldn't.

 

Still a bit unsure you see as to what i can claim for and what i can't and want to make sure its right :confused:

 

Any help is appreciated

 

Many thanks

John

Ironically, when i got home from work just now there was a letter on my mat from RBS, offerring me a full refund of all my charges (£1230). I'd only sent a prelim letter off. Blimey. i'm extremely chuffed. :D
