    • Hi, I'd change justice centre to county court. I also wouldn't be including a telegraph article in the bundle. It doens't prove anything law and you don't have distribution rights on it. I also wouldn't personally break down the exhibits on the index page, normally people have a seperate page for this right before the exhibits. The main index page normally just says Exhibits to WX of [Your Name] or at least that's the format I use/see people here use, although really it makes minimal difference.   I also see that despite referencing several judgements you haven't included the EVRi one   paragraph 46 really needs to go imo it has nothing to do with anything. Your in court to apply the law to your case, not to tell the judge about a newspaper that means nothing to your claim.   I also see you've adopted the issues in dispute/not in dispute, which is also known as a scott schedule. if you are taking this approach, for things not in dispute I would say this needs to be things that are agreed between parties, not things like "There is no dispute that I am happy to supply all this evidence which is included in the court bundle." I would say that issues in dispute is to focus on the aspects of the claim that are in dispute, such as whether liability is limited by insurance or not, so I'd be changing that accordingly.   BF should be along shortly to advise on things.
    • J, I just numbered them like that; once the witness statement is made, I'll add it to the pages.   The court date has been set as 02 July 2024. Please find attached V6. I will send an unredacted to the email.  claim budle_V6.pdf
    • I'm afraid that I have tried downloading it three times and each time I am getting an error message. Would you mind scanning it again please and uploading it again. I understand that JK has managed to open it but others may not. Thanks
    • I can see that.   In this case, I'd email both that receipt and your tracking label to evri's small claims email and say that is the information you have.   They'll figure it out from there I'm sure

    • 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.

Anyone know if CAG bosses are likely to have a problem if I took out a local newspaper ad telling people not to give up and point them to the site?

 

Who would i contact to get permission and approval of the text?

We need to get any ads that are approved posted on our Facebook with a link to CAG. I've already corrected a couple of people on mine who seemed to believe its all over. I reckon Facebook is the best way to reach the youngsters as well - they'll spend hours on there but won't go near any "boring" financial sites!

Facebook is a good way to reach youngsters but can you post that sort of stuff on Facebook?

nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the

most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of

You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: Victory. Victory at all costs —

Victory in spite of all terror — Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for

without victory there is no survival.”

Hi Barry

 

I just meant the ad they're talking about in earlier posts. If its too long, nothing to stop us saying things like "check out CAG" in our profiles. I've already done this where people have commented on bank charges.

Via Martin3030 I've got approval for my newspaper ad, I've tried to keep it short and to the point and intend to try and get it in nice large font

 

As this has been approved, I'm sure anyone can feel free to follow suit in their region

 

(Martin: feel free to correct this if I'm wrong!)

 

I see this as an opportunity to give something back for the amazing help I've had over the years (and obviously stick it to the banks in the process!)

It has also been suggested to add a line about a QC being instructed to write a template for bank charge claimants, but I like the idea of keeping it simple

This is a very welcome gesture and one that CAG would undoubtedly embrace.

Its not something many will be able to afford,and therefore there is no expectancy from Caggers to choose to do it.

Advertising in media has took a battering since the credit crunch so there is that to consider.

For those who feel able to post an ad in their local paper,as someone who has done this myself,I will offer a couple of pointers.

If you have more than one publication in your area-contact them all and play them off against eachother to get the best rates.

Find out deadlines for placing ads and call just before to see if there is cancellation space going-you can often get up to 50% discounts by taking a cancellation.

Be prepared to haggle-and offer to pay up front.Pre-paid ads give more bargaining power.

 

Anything that can bring awareness to those in the dark is well worth a shot-unfortunately theres lots out there who will already be throwing in the towel.We need to get a message across to those.

 

There is ongoing work behind the scenes to further this cause and hopefully there will be new templates published here very soon for those needing.Keep your eyes on the CAG front page.

 

This particular initiative for the local press adverts will be made a stickie so others interested can join in and monitor.

 

Thanks in advance to all those who have already expressed an interest.

PF I think if you speak to advertising they will tell you best section in their paper.

They will obv try to sell you space they need to fill-so be aware of any sales talk.

As regards what issues to post in-look at it from your angle as a reader yourself - which edition is most likely to catch your eye ?

 

The text ncf has posted gets straight to the point-just a tweak as posted below.

It's always worth calling your local paper and get them to see if they will make a piece focusing on YOU "human interest" story so to speak. I did that in 2006 to raise awareness on the bank charges issues, and was deeply embarassed when they turned it into a "local hero" story... But it still made a 1/2 page article directing people to CAG. :-D

Very brave of you. I'm far too shy. There is someone else on here from my area - maybe he would try it with our local paper. He doesn't seem shy at all but they might be scared of him!

 

I'm going to contact my paper and ask for a quote - I think Monday will be better as that is deadline day.
