    • 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.

Hello. I am new to the forum and need some advice/help.

 

Received a letter from restons Re an old credit card debt seeking payment and issuing a county court claim against me.

 

It should have been statue barred Dec 2017 but apparently I have made payments.

It is possible as this card relates back to when I got divorced.

 

I was advised to send a practice direction letter which I did and received a response from them.

 

Can someone please advise what this means and is it worth defending in court.

My friend has offered to pay it off for me as it is making me stressed.

 

I have a mortgaged house and a car which I have been told they will put a charge on.

Is it worth paying this off or defending and if I did what are the potential court costs, would it add a lot to the debt.

 

Any advice would be appreciated. have until 5th Feb to respond.

Thank you for relying.

 

 

It was a colleague at work who suggested it.

 

Something about there is a process of 3 letters to send or something like that and it can maybe stop the debt.

 

I have searched on the forum here for Restons and is seem there is a lot of issues with them.

Hi......not the best advice given by your friend...in particular " the 3 letter nonsense"

 

You cant request any of the above until a claim is actually issued...and a claim shouldnt be issued until the Solicitor issues the following.....

 

https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?481827-The-Pre-Action-Protocol-for-Debt-Claims-is-made-by-the-Master-of-the-Rolls-as-Head-of-Civil-Justice.-1st-Oct-2017.

 

 

With regrads to requesting a copy of the agreement...its only legally valid if you follow the following link.....and it goes to Carboot not Restons.

 

https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?387435-CCA-Request-Consumer-Credit-Act-1974-**Updated-January-2015**

 

Send the above now to Carboot...no more letters to Restons until you receive a LBA as described in the first link above.

 

 

Regards

 

Andy

Hi Andy

 

 

I am confused. I have had a look at the Pre-action document and is that not all the in the bumf that Restons have sent in their claim letter dated 5th Jan or am I missing something.

 

 

I can send the letter to Cabot with a PO. Does it go to their registered office address at the bottom of the statement that is in Restons ream of paperwork. Apologies but what is an Iba that you mention. I have looked at the link about small claims court but cannot see iba :-(

H Andy

 

 

Done the letter for Cabot and will send it to their Registered office in Kent as I don't have a letter from them only the copy of the Cabot letter in the Restons pack.

 

 

Strange I will try to upload the Restons letter again as there is about 18 pages.

 

 

I am just conscious that Restons only gave me till 5th Feb and then they are starting proceedings and Cabot wont have replied by then. Will Restons just go straight to issuing court proceedings if I don't respond to them before 5th Feb as that is my understanding.

 

 

If it goes to court how much more am I likely to pay.

Yes you do have the form...dont use their version ...complete the one in my first link.

 

Send your CCA request separate as advised to Carboot...its not legally valid unless you send it to the claimant.

 

If you wish to defend...then there will be extra costs....claim issue fee (£100) and Sols fee (£50 - £75)..

We could do with some help from you.

I am confused here. I didn't use the Restons form but the one on the link on here.

 

 

Why box D on a separate sheet when there is more wording on box I? I don't have anymore text to go in box D.

 

 

Am I supposed to be putting something else in?

you should also be sending a SAR to the original lender so you can see what payments were made and when

 

also be able to tot up what was owed what was interest added to fees and thus not actually allowed etc so you are in a position to challenge the actual value of the debt.

Thanks for the info.

 

CCA sent to Cabot and IBA letter to restons have gone today.

 

Will look at doing a SAR just need the £10 to do it.

 

Is there anything else I need to do or do I just sit back and wait for their responses now.

 

If they proceed down the court route what do I need to do?

 

Thanks

Hi

 

Quick update -

 

Response received on Fri 9th from Restons after sending back the completed pre action reply form.

 

Nothing received from Cabot in respect of the CCA request (with £1 PO enclosed) which they signed for on 2nd Feb.

 

Just 1 question are Cabot supposed to respond within 14 days which would be 16th Feb going off the date they signed for the letter.

 

I presume I just wait now for their next move.

Hi

 

 

It has now been 15 working days since my CCA request to Cabot and no response from them.

 

As they have passed the legal time limit does this debt become unenforceable or can they still produce the documents further down the line.

 

Do I need to write another letter to them informing they have not complied to the CCA request or let sleeping dogs lie?

 

Also no further response from Restons after their last letter on 6th Feb.
