    • 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.

I am just away to start court proceddings against rbos in Scotland.

I need to add the 8% onto every charge for the last 5 years.

Do i simply find out a daily rate of interest and multiply that by the amount of days since i was charged up until my claim date??

I have seen the spreadsheets but want to know i can do it this way??

If i can ..do i divide 8% by 365 to get a daily rate??

 

Thanks

Hi

 

The daily rate is worked out by your total charges X 0,00022= daily rate.

 

Say your charges are £3065

 

Times this by 0.00022 for the daily rate = 0.65 pence

 

The 0.00022 is calculated like this:

 

8%/365 = 0.00022

Thanks for the reply.. My overall total is 1055 which gives me a daily rate of 23p. Do i then multiply this by the amount of days since the first charge OR work out how many days on each charge and do them individually.

 

Thanks !!

Hi, im a bit lost on this too , i have charges from capital one totalling £660 starting from april 04, ive tried the spreadsheets in the templates library but cant work them out correctly. The annual rate they were charging was 26.9%, i put this into the spreadsheets along with balances, dates e.t.c and it showed i should claim £960 in total, im not sure if this is wrong. Im so confused as the first charge goes back to april 04 and in between months i had paid balance of in full, and then later on had charges again. Have you had any joy, please someone help meeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!

HI, let me see if i can explain this for you. I got confused too but dont worry.

 

Use this calculation in order to get a correct figure.

 

Have each chagre set out individually on your charge spreadsheet

 

Count how many days the charge has been outstanding for...eg charge from 01/01/06 would be o/s for 373 days

 

If that charge was for £35 then you would do the following calculation:

 

35 (charge in pounds) x 0.00022 (daily interest rate value) x 373 (days since offence) = £2.87 for the charge.

 

You only need to show interest for up to the day you file court papers. Any interest due after that will be automatically calculated by the bank when they settle or you can give them a new figure.

 

If you want the daily interest rate it is simply 35 (charge in pounds) x 0.00022 (daily interest rate) = 0.0077p per day

 

Hope this helps some way, if still unsure post me your thread and i can check the figures for you

 

Good luck

Hi:)

 

Here are some threads to do with claiming contractual interest, if that is what you intend to do. You need to be very sure about what you are doing, set up a thread in RBS so that you can get some help if you need it......I'm totally dumb when it comes to scottish Courts so you'll have to make sure that it's claimable....it should be hey?:confused:

Doesn't the spreadsheet in the library work this out automatically?

 

And then apply the 8% to your total claim for charges from the date you issue the proceedings to the date of settlement - so when the bank offer to settle calculate the interest to that date and include it in the amount you will accept in setlement.

Thanks for the reply

 

Do i still charge them interest from the day they applied the charge to me, even though i paid the balance of in full on some months, my charges total £660 starting from april 04 and the last charge was in sep 06 and my monthly rate on the statement varied from 2.228 to 2.248, i tried the spreadsheet, do you think £960 sounds right?, They have also charged me £74 since ocotober but on the new reduced charge of £12 each, do you include that as well, many thanks

It sounds like you know how to use the spreadsheet then, yes?

 

If so, then you really need to do some reading and be sure about the rate you want to charge. start a thread in RBS like I said.

I went to the sheriff court today and handed in my summary cause. Was informed from the clerk that the 8% was only to be added from the date the summary cause was handed in (today!). I pointed out that i thought she was incorrect and explained what i have done re the 8%. She said it will have to be looked at by a sheriff and if he says it is ok then it will go through with the added 8%. When i mentioned that lots of other claimants in Scotland have been doing this and adding on the interest her reply was " not every court is the same, we do things here that other courts dont do and vice versa" when i pointed out that surely the law of the land is just that and if i am entitled to claim this in one part of the country i should be allowed to claim it in another she just shrugged her shoulders !

Anyone else encountered problems like this???

Hairyscotsman,

 

The law on interest in Scotland differs from that down south. Firstly, the law relating to interst on claims in England and Wales is governed by the County Courts Act 1984. In Scotland the rules are largely based on the common law.

 

Interest on contractual claims in Scotland can only run from the date of service of the summons on the defender (also known as the date of citation). The principle behind this restriction being, that until you raise a court action, the defender is not aware that you have a claim against them, for you are required to state in your summons the factual and legal basis upon which your claim rests, thereby giving the defender notice of why you should be entitled to the sums you seek. If the defender does not then settle the matter with you and you succeed, you should be entitled to interest on the sum for their delay in paying you what you demanded in judicial proceedings and which has, by your success, been found to be due to you. This has been criticised by, amongst others, the Scottish law Commission, but remains the law.

 

This may seem daft, when a pursuer may have been in negotiations with the defender for payment of the sum for some time. Letters and phone calls may have made it clear to the defender at an earlier stage that you have a claim and its amount is £x. Nevertheless, the law is as stated.

 

In relation to other types of claim, such as personal injury, it is settled that a claimant has a right to claim interest on the sum sought from the date of the accident, although it is not settled that this will always be granted.

 

In relation to claims for repetition (bank charge claims are claims for repetition - claims for repayment of money paid to a party but which, for whatever reason, were not properly payable), the law is unclear whether interest can be claimed from the date the erroneous payment was made, or simply from the date of citation. Some suggest the former, and on principle this may seem correct, although it is by no means certain that this will be the case, as it also seems right that interest should be payable on contractual claims at a date earlier than citation, but that is the rule that governs contractual claims.

 

On the sheriff courts, one must remember that while "the law" is simply that, it is only ever definitively stated when pronounced by a court from which there is no appeal. In Scotland (and England and Wales), that court is the House of Lords. Decisions of the sheriff on the law are found to be incorrect as many times as they are found to be correct. Different sheriffs will come to different conclusions depending on the argument that is laid before them. In this respect, having a decent lawyer who knows what he is talking about may, and often does, make all the difference.

 

The sheriff clerk deputes are often very knowledgable about procedure and sometimes the substantive law itself, but it is always the sheriff who will make the determination of what the law is in any particular case and how it relates to the facts presented to him. The law, in this respect, is very rarely certain, but then that is what makes the practice a fascinating challenge.

 

Good luck.

Hi guys,

I have a basic question on completion of the Form1/1b.

This involves the name and address of the defender.

The branch where in the town I bank does not have a court. The most convenient for me is in another town and county in Scotland.

Do I therefore put the name and address as the Royal Bank of Scotland head office in St.Andrew Square and then in Part 7, I have included the line" the defender has a branch in (name of town where court sits) therefore is under the jurisdiction of this court.

It seems to make sense to me but others seem to put their branch address on the forms.

Any advice please?

With reference to interest, I have calculated it on a daily basis from when the charges were applied to the date the forms will be submitted, at a rate of 8%.

 

Any help gratefully received.

Tweaky,

 

Really does not matter, as the Royal Bank has branches in each sheriffdom in Scotland. The important point for you is to ensure you raise your action in the court which is most convenient to you for the purposes of lodging and attendance.

 

Your entries are perfectly acceptable and appropriate.
