    • 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.

Received a copy of the N180 from Lowell, so it looks like we're off to court (assuming of course they've paid the fee, and not just ticked the box)! I was just wondering if I need to remind them that they've not complied to my CCA request, past the 12 + 2 days now.

 

Also is there anything I should be preparing for??

I emailed BW to tell them they had included someone else's notice to proceed letter in with mine, no response as usual, do you think I should email again asking them what I should do with it, and indeed, what should I do with it??

 

Maddie

 

could make an official complaint, involve the ICO? maybe let the third party know, so they can complain? maybe compensation?

note, that as is now small claims track the normal CPR part 31 rules re disclosure won't ordinarily apply (31.1), unless stated/ordered otherwise?

Order received from Northampton today , claimant hasn't yet filed directions questionnaire, nor paid the fee, claimant has 7 days from service to do so or claim will automatically be struck out!

Whilst in one way, I suppose it's good news, but very annoying that they are given a reminder and an extra time, I'm sure courts don't send reminders to defendants and give them extra time!

 

What date would be 7 days from service be, letter dated 10th March?

 

Is, ICO the correct body to contact regarding the letter addressed to another Lowell victim, but enclosed with mine?

 

Thanks

Agreed, very unfair that the claimants are allowed to proceed to issue claims without having the correct documents - fail to meet court deadlines and are given more time.. as you say, it would be most unusual for a defendant to be given this !!

 

Yes, the Information Commissioner would be the one you need to contact regarding the letter sent to you incorrectly.

 

It is very worrying that the solicitor didnt respond to your letter regarding this because it might actually cause the other victim a problem if they havent received this.

Very annoyed! Seems the few extra days the nice court gave Lowell to pay the £40 and file the directions questionnaire worked out just right for them!

 

Received a Notice of Transfer of Proceedings today!

 

Better start preparing myself for court then I suppose, if anyone gets a spare moment between Easter egg hunts, could you give me a pointer of what to expect next.

 

Thanks everyone, I really thought they'd missed the deadline

Just a quick further question, I signed up with Experian for a free trial, also checked Noddle, both say the same, nothing on my report except for a red marker for Sigma whoever they may be.

 

I was pretty sure the few things outstanding were coming close the the SB stage, does this change anything regarding the above pending court claim? i.e. would I now enter a SB defence?

 

I had the free trial with Experian a few years ago, so can't get another unless I pay £15.95, to check if this says the same.

 

I am a tad confused because it says I don't have any CCJ's when I know I have, with an old Vanquis debt which I lost miserably in court a few years ago.

 

Score is very low, but that's fine because I will never ever borrow again, EVER!

Hi Maddie may, sorry no.. once the claim was issued the SB clock stopped ticking :(

 

If the Vanquis CCJ is older than 6 years, then that too would drop off your credit file as I understand it.

 

Just having a read back over your thread to see what is going on :)

Ok, what happens next - having received the notice that the claim is now transferred to your local court, you will receive a notice from them advising next steps.. either a hearing date or the suggestion that the claim might be suitable for mediation.

 

Have you still not received any documents from them ?

Does it stop ticking, even if was SB when they issued proceedings?

 

If it had been statute barred when the claim was issued then your defence would have been a statute barred defence and we wouldnt be having this conversation :lol:

 

I am extremely surprised they did not respond to your email regarding the receipt of someone else's paperwork. Did you take it further? Information Commissioner perhaps ?

I didn't know it was SB or indeed if it actually is, it was on my credit file a few years ago, but not now, why would this be unless it's dropped off as the saying goes?

 

 

you said #19 last payment was may 08. so, is unlikely to be statute barred unless that is wrong? 6 years eng/wales, and a claim form stops the clock.

No not reported it to ICO, it will become part of the disclosure documents, along with the email asking what I should do with it! Or do you think that's a bad idea for any reason?

 

Unless someone can tell me different I don't believe it has any relevance to your defence.

Hi guys

Received an order from my local court today, it's a bit if a shock to be honest!

It is ordered that

Unless the defendant (me) files at court and serves the claimant a full defence by 4 pm on 18th June, she shall be debarred from defending and the claimant can be at liberty to enter judgement!

 

I have had nothing since the letter telling me it's being transferred to my local court!

 

Can you help me please, anything you need to know in order to help with the full defence, please feel free to ask.

 

Panicking now!

No need to panic.

 

You've already filed & served a full Defence haven't you?

 

Just re-send it to the Court with a letter pointing out when it was previously sent. It's probably just an oversight.
