    • Your page numbers should run through your WX and exhibits so im concerned its page x of 9.
    • Paragraph 18 – you are still talking about Boston stolen items. About time this was fixed??? Paragraph 19  In any event, the claimant's PS5 gaming device was correctly declared and correctly valued. The defendant accepted it for carriage and was even prepared to earn extra money by selling sell insurance in case of its loss or damage. New paragraph 20 – this the defendant routinely sells insurance in respect of "no compensation" items (a secondary contract contrary to section 72 CRA 2015) new paragraph above paragraph 20 – the defendant purports to limit its liability in respect of lost or damaged items. This is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights act 2015. The defendant offers to extend their liability if their customer purchases an insurance cover for an extra sum of money. This insurance is a secondary contract calculated to exclude or limit their liability for the defendants contractual breaches and is contrary to section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015. New paragraph below paragraph 42 – the defendant merely relies on "standard industry practice" You haven't pointed to the place in your bundle of the Telegraph newspaper extract. You have to jiggle the paragraphs around. Even though I have suggested new paragraph numbers, the order I have suggested is on your existing version 5. You will have to work it out for your next version. Good luck!   Let's see version 6 Separately, would you be kind enough to send me an unredacted to me at our admin email address.

    • 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 all

 

maybe in the same boat as a lot of people who have put their head in the sand :-(

 

I had a payday loan with Uncle Buck which I did not pay when due on the 30th of January 2015 for £202.43..

 

I have today received court papers for £391.43 plus the £35 court costs.

 

Is this legally allowable? Do I have any arguments here or am i up the proverbial without a paddle?

 

V v limited details in paper form but will scan these and upload when at work on Monday.

are there relevant details I should ask !st Stop and/or Uncle Buck for?

What should I do with the papers recieved from the court?

 

Any advice appreciated!

 

thanks

I am amazed a pay day loan company now goes to court

 

They usually flog the debt to Motormouth

 

They are not a judges favourite claimant due to unethacal business practices

 

How was this £391.43 made up

 

£202.43 seems an odd sum as the original loan amount

 

Did you do a rollover??

How was the 391 made up? One thing I intend to find out . I presume I send an SAR or CCA..but who to?

 

Claim details , v "brief" shall we say :-)

 

there was indeed a rollover, 1.

 

taken out 04/12/14

 

150.00 credit

total amount payable 22/12 202.43

rolled over 17/12 with due date 30/01 of 202.43

this amount was not paid by myself on this date

 

it would appear after that the charges/ interest just kept on coming :-S

Dont get me wrong but couldn't one piece of defense be used, such as the below;

 

(This loan was taken AFTER the change by the FCA)

 

Martin Wheatley, the FCA's chief executive officer, said:

 

'I am confident that the new rules strike the right balance for firms and consumers. If the price cap was any lower, then we risk not having a viable market, any higher and there would not be adequate protection for borrowers.

 

'For people who struggle to repay, we believe the new rules will put an end to spiraling payday debts. For most of the borrowers who do pay back their loans on time, the cap on fees and charges represents substantial protections.'

 

The FCA published its proposals for a payday loan price cap in July. The price cap structure and levels remain unchanged following the consultation. These are:

 

Initial cost cap of 0.8% per day - Lowers the cost for most borrowers. For all high-cost short-term credit loans, interest and fees must not exceed 0.8% per day of the amount borrowed.

Fixed default fees capped at £15 - Protects borrowers struggling to repay. If borrowers do not repay their loans on time, default charges must not exceed £15. Interest on unpaid balances and default charges must not exceed the initial rate.

Total cost cap of 100% - Protects borrowers from escalating debts. Borrowers must never have to pay back more in fees and interest than the amount borrowed.

From 2 January 2015, no borrower will ever pay back more than twice what they borrowed, and someone taking out a loan for 30 days and repaying on time will not pay more than £24 in fees and charges per £100 borrowed.

 

 

Now that they have added court fees, It means its taken it above the rules set out by FCA.... Also how much did they charge for the default?

 

We could do with some help from you.

CPR means Civil Procedure Rules - i.e. the rules upon which civil claims are based and administered in accordance with. That's my non-expert definition.

 

31.14 refers to disclosure and inspection of documents - https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules/civil/rules/part31

 

The normal advice on here is to make a request you send to the claimant for supply of documents relating to the particulars of the claim. In most of these claims, the claimant won't comply with the request and there is no legal obligation to, but it's useful to refer to the fact you've requested said documents in your defence and also later in your witness statements. It shows the claimant you mean business, but also shows the court that you've made reasonable and proactive attempts to resolve the matter.

done

 

so whats next on the timelines?

 

Ok, so you have sent away for documents that you need - you have acknowledged the claim online. The next thing will be your defence which you need to submit by 4th December. You have some time in hand so you might want to have a look at other threads and consider what you want to say.

 

First of all, when you took out the loan did they do any credit checks ? You appear to have rolled the loan over, was this because you were struggling financially at that time ? Did you ask to roll over or did they suggest you rolled over ?

 

This loan appears to have been taken out after the FCA put in place the new lending criteria. Did they abide by this or have they lent to you irresponsibly ?

how can i check this?

 

You appear to have rolled the loan over, was this because you were struggling financially at that time ? Did you ask to roll over or did they suggest you rolled over ?
i was, it was just before xmas. it was an option within an email from them

 

This loan appears to have been taken out after the FCA put in place the new lending criteria. Did they abide by this or have they lent to you irresponsibly ?

will the above help this?

 

as well as the above, is it legally fair to double the amount?

Now that they have added court fees, It means its taken it above the rules set out by FCA.... Also how much did they charge for the default?

 

 

Definitely find this interesting, the loan amount which was "rolled over was " £150 so even before court fees its over the 100% I believe

 

 

That's before I start looking as whether their lending was "responsible" ( ie Credit checks done etc)
