    • We used to recommend that people accept mediation but our advice is change. The mediation process is unclear. Before you can embark on it you have to agree that you are prepared to enter a compromise – and that means that you agree that you are prepared to give up some of your rights even though you are completely in the right and you are entitled to hundred percent of your money and even though EVRi are simply trying to obstruct you in order to discourage you and also to put others who might want to follow your example off from claiming even though they have a legitimate basis for reimbursement. Mediation is not transparent. In addition to having to sign up that you are prepared to give up some of your rights, you will also have to agree not to reveal any details of the mediation – including the result of the mediation – so that the whole thing is kept secret. This is not open justice. Mediation has nothing to do with justice. The only way of getting justice is to make sure that this matter goes to trial unless EVRi or the other parcel delivery companies put their hands up and accept the responsibility even if they do it is a gesture of goodwill. Going to trial and winning at trial produces a judgement which we can then add to our small collection to assist other people who are in a similar boat. EVRi had been reading you around by the nose since at least January – and probably last year as well – and their whole purpose is simply to drag it out, to place obstacles in your way, to deter other people, and to make you wish that you'd never started the process and that you are prepared to give up your 300 quid. You shouldn't stand for it. You should take control. EVRi would prefer that you went to mediation and if nothing else that is one excellent reason why you should decline mediation and go to court. On mediation form you should sign that you are not prepared to compromise and that you are not prepared to keep the result secret but that you want to share the results with other people in similar circumstances. This means that the mediation won't go ahead. It will take slightly longer and you will have to pay a court fee that you will get that back when you win and you will have much greater satisfaction. Also, once you go the whole process, you will learn even more about bringing a small claim in the County Court so that if this kind of thing happens again you will know what to do and you will go ahead without any hesitation. Finally, if you call EVRi bluff and refuse mediation and go to trial, there is a chance – maybe not a big chance – but there is a chance that they will agree to pay out your claim before trial simply in order to avoid a judgement. Another judgement against them will simply hurt the position even more and they really don't want this. 300 quid plus your costs is peanuts to them. They don't care about it. They will set it off against tax so the taxpayer will make their contribution. It's all about maintaining their business model of not being liable for anything, and limiting or excluding liability contrary to section 57 and section 72 of the consumer rights act.  
    • Nice to hear a positive story about a company on this form for a change. Thank you
    • too true HB, but those two I referred for starters - appear to be self admitted - One to excuse other lockdown law breaking, by claiming his estate away from his consistency and London abode was his main home the other if he claims to have 'not told the truth' in his own words via that quote - to have mislead his investors rather than broken lobbying rules   - seem to be slam dunks - pick which was your law breaking - it seems to be both and much more besides in Jenricks case Starmer was director of public prosecutions yet the tories are using seemingly baseless allegations for propaganda and starmer is missing pressing apparent blatant criminality in politics
    • I am sure the resident experts will give you a comprehensive guide to your rights.  The responsibility lies with the retailer. I have dealt with Cotswold before for similar. And found them refreshingly helpful.   Even when I lost the receipt for one item I had bought in Inverness. The manager in Newcastle called the store. Found the transaction and gave me a full refund.

    • 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 personally use ccmcc as i can get fee remission but if you are oaying the court fee anyway you may as well use MCOL.

If you do use MCOL you can then view and update, see what the state if the claim is, whether defence filed etc

 

With ccmcc you cannot see on MCOL and the staff at ccmcc arent too bright either judging by the month it took them to faff about issuing my BC claim, despite all my paperwork being correct.

We used to advise that you file at court as you could use a larger PoC. This is no longer an option so MCOL is the way to go and, if you don't have enough room for the PoC, you can File and Serve it separately.

Just to add to the confusion, I've received an apologetic letter from Barclays assuring me of their best attention and would I please allow them until June 29th to resolve the matter?

 

And another letter from Arvato giving me an "opportunity to partially settle" my account. They are delighted to inform me that they are in a position to extend a generous proposal to me, which is to pay "the lower balance" (they don't say what this is). In return, they explain, my credit file will get "a special flag" (oooh! goody!) called "satisfied" although, regrettably, the unpaid balance will remain on my account as an outstanding sum. Well, hey! Fair enough, eh? You can't have everything, can you? Mustn't grumble!

 

Or, in other words, I can either keep my default for free, or keep my default and give them some money. Hmmm....

 

Bloody idiots.

Hi John,

 

Have you heard yet that your claim has been served on BC and on what date ?

 

Ignore BC's assurance of best attention. Your court claim will supercede their attempt to delay.

 

Re the begging letter from Arvato, drop them an email saying :-

 

I refer to your letter of xxdate.

 

I am in the process of litigation against BC. Accordingly the account is in clear dispute and any further contact from you will be reported as a breach of the OFT Debt Collection Guidelines.

 

I suggest you contact Barclays Litigation to confirm they are being sued.

Hello again. I dropped the ball on this due to something of an enforced hiatus (multiple bereavements). I'm back on it and have submitted a formal complaint/LBA to which I have received no reply. At all. I am now putting together my claim on MCOL.

 

Recently, Barclaycard wrote to me saying "We didn't send you one or more statutory notice(s) and now need to give you a refund". They've applied a refund of notices of sums in arrears and default sum notices, plus interest, totalling £169.15.

 

My account balance is thus now £129.13, against a credit limit (whilst the account was still open) of £150. Yet it is still defaulted. Bit confused as to how an account be defaulted when it's within its credit limit...

Please remind us about :-

 

1. The amount you seek to reclaim in charges.

 

2. The amount of interest - the up to date figure as per the spreadsheet. Open it today and it'll update with an increased int't figure.

So the amount recently refunded is nothing to do with penalty charges, in which case I think you can proceed with issuing the claim if you're now ready and willing.

 

crack on and keep us posted .............

Hi John,

 

It's all there for you to read in the Barclays **WON** forum. There are many BC cases that have been WON including Compound Interest.

 

But we'll be here to help if you get stuck.

You'll put in the POC that you require the removal of adverse CRA data.

 

BC will likely refuse any amendments but, when you stick firmly to your guns, they'll agree to adverse CRA data removal.

 

Is that what you were referring to ?

They will continue to report adverse data until its removed from your CRA fike.

 

They will also try telling you that it cant be removed! Its all rubbish, they’ll remove it eventually but you MUST include it in your PoC.

Minor but possibly significant development. When I sent my LBA I thought it might get more of a reaction if I cc'ed Barclays litigation department, rather than waiting for the complaints/customer service "we are satisfied you are wrong" dance to play out...

 

I received a letter yesterday from TLT solicitors, thus:

 

"We are instructed to act ono behalf of Barclays Bank Plc (the Bank) [weird] and have been passed a copy of your letter before action addressed to Barclaycard, dated 27 September 2017 [wrong date]. Please refer any further correspondence in this matter to this firm.

 

We are taking steps to investigate the matters referred to in your letter and so will endeavour to provide a response within the next 21 days. The Bank's position is reserved until we have had an opportunity to respond in full."

 

Interesting!

 

I'm inclined to press on with MCOL regardless.

You're wrong to expect a reaction from Barclays in response to your LBA. They get many similar threats that amount to nothing. They're only interested WHEN you actually file a claim.

 

Even then, it's a very minor issue to Barclays, even though it's a big deal to you.

 

Proceed with filing the claim via MCOL and ignore the sol'rs for now.

I'm finishing my POC (having adapted it from those in previous threads). On MCOL, it says:

 

"A short statement (maximum 1080 characters) of what you are claiming for and why."

 

How have previous claimants summarised their POC for this section, and how/when/where is the POC proper submitted?

If the POC exceeds what you can put on MCOL, they allow for you to serve the POC on the defendant by post.

 

On the section for POC on the MCOL N1, say full Particulars of Claim will be Filed and Served by post.

Thanks slick. Here's my first stab at the summary statement:

 

"The Defendant added default charges to the Account for: Claimant’s failure to make minimum payment on due date/exceeding the credit limit/if a payment is returned.

 

The Defendant registered a default on the Claimant's Credit profile.

 

The default charges were applied in accordance with the standard terms of The Agreement which were:

 

a)A penalty payable on breach of contract and thus unenforceable: and

 

b)An unfair term under the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 (“The Regulations”) and therefore not binding on the Claimant.

 

The Claimant is thus entitled to repayment of the sums wrongly added to the Account.

 

The Claimant claims:

 

1)Refund of penalty charges

 

2)Restitutional interest at 34.9%

 

3)Interest under s69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at 8% per annum from date of claim to judgment or sooner payment

 

4)Court costs

 

5)Removal of default notice/all other adverse credit data for the account, as the remaining account balance is made up wholly/significantly of unlawful penalty charges/associated interest

 

Full Particulars of Claim will be Filed and Served by post"

 

(There are separate text boxes after the summary/statement for the claim amounts and court costs so I left them out of the summary).

Hi John,

 

1. Where did you get this POC from, or have you drafted it yourself.

 

2. Is the claim for 34.9% a typo - that's higher than any other claim I've seen here.

 

This is far shorter than PoC's that were used in the past but I'll get Andyorch to look in when he has a mo.

Hi slick, this is not my POC, this is the "short statement (maximum 1080 characters) of what you are claiming for and why" on MCOL, the last sentence of which is "Full Particulars of Claim will be Filed and Served by post" as you suggested. I am adapting my full POC from Sabresheep's Barclays thread.

 

I have claimed 34.9% as that is the interest rate charged by Barclaycard on my count - my view is that less is not fully restitutional. That's what they charged me, that's what I want back.

Sorry, I was confused by your comments in post #45 which mentioned the POC.

 

The short statement could be shorter than above :-

 

"The Defendant (Barclaycard) added default charges to the Claimant's credit card account for: Claimant’s failure to make minimum payment on due date, exceeding the credit limit, making a payment that was returned unpaid.

 

The Defendant registered a default on the Claimant's Credit profile.

 

The Claimant seeks repayment of the default charges wrongly added to the account plus restitutionary interest.

 

The Claimant seeks removal of default notice and other adverse credit data for the account, as the remaining account balance is made up wholly or significantly of unlawful penalty charges and associated interest.

 

Full Particulars of Claim will be Filed and Served by post."

 

Don't post the full POC on your thread please.
