    • Thank you very much for your letter in regard to the above mentioned shipment.  Due to the high volume of parcels coursing through the courier network each day, undergoing continuous processing and handling, certain packages may experience delays or even can get lost in the course of this journey. Please note that due to the time that has passed, this shipment has been declared as lost.  I have today processed the claim and made offers to the value of £75 as a goodwill gesture without prejudice. I do acknowledge that you have mentioned in your letter that the value was higher, however, you did not take out any protection to that amount. The protection for this shipment was £20 and we will not be increasing our goodwill offer any further.    Please log into your account online in order to accept our offer. Once accepted, our accounts department will process the claim accordingly. The claim payment will be processed and received within 7 working days.                                  In addition, a refund of the carriage fee will be processed as a separate payment and will be received within 3 working days.  If I can further assist, please feel free to contact me.   I have also just noticed that yesterday afternoon they sent me an email stating that "after my request" they have refunded the cost of shipping. I did not request the refund so will mention that in my letter as well.
    • Hi I had to leave Dubai back in 2011, during the financial crisis. And only now have I received a letter from IDRWW. Is this anything to worry about about as I have 2 years left until it’s been 15 years(statute barred in Dubai). Worried as just got a mortgage 2 years ago. Could they force me in to bankruptcy? Red lots of different threads on here. And unsure what true and what isn’t.

As for the council and HMRC, fair enough and I thought Rayner was already in touch with them.

    • Often with the Likes of Lowells/ Overdales that 'proof' doesn't stand up to scrutiny.   Think about it like a game of poker, they want to intimidate you into folding and giving up as soon as possible, and just get you to pay up and roll over, that is their business model, make you think your cards are rubbish. What they don't expect, and their business isn't set up for it, is for a defendant to find this place and to learn that they have an amazing set of cards to play. Overdales don't have an infinite number of lawyers, paralegals etc, and the time / money to spend on expensive court cases, that they are highly likely to lose, hence how hard they will try to get you to roll over.  Even to the extent of faking documents, which they need to do because the debts that they purchased were so cheap, in the first place. Nevertheless it works in most cases, most people chicken out, when they are so close to winning, and a holding defence is like slowly showing Overdales your first card, and a marker of intention that this could get tricky for them. In fact it may be,  although by no means guaranteed that it won't even go any further than that.  Even if it does, what they send you back will almost certainly have more holes than Swiss Cheese, and if with the help you receive here, you can identify those weaknesses and get the whole thing tossed in the bin.

    • 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.

Keep going Gargoil, cos something is up with HBOS. I submitted a small claim and 2 summary causes against Halifax, and the court date was set for 18th December. today, to my complete surprise, the full amount of my claims of almost £4000 appeared in my account. I was expecting them to delay as long as possible, but it looks like they have conceded only a couple of weeks after receiving the court papers.

Hi Gargoil

 

Can you help with some advice? Have read through this thread but still unsure about small claims proceedures. RBOS owe me £1550 in charges which would amount to around £200 interest. If I do 2 separate small claims, is it possible to submit both at the same time. Can yu also tell me if the interest is added within the £750 limit or would I need 3 claims for what they owe me. I would claim through summary cause, but I've read this takes longer and I was hoping to emigrate to Australia in jan / feb (but I want my money)

 

Cheers

Handing them in thi stim enext week to give claim 2 a chance to be dismissed!! keep the cash coming Mr BOS!!!! ;)

Congratulations!!! I am just about to send my LBA to BOS for my 2 claims. I was thinking about going down the English route so that I could claim the total of both.

 

The BOS have been a thorn in my side for such a long time now too. It feels good to be able to fight back.

 

Well done.

Congratulations!, I'm claiming on a summary cause for £1500 + interest and expenses, my court date is 09/02 with the return date being the 02/02. Here's the strange thing though - I have done a claim for my brother in law on exactly the same time scale as mine with BOS. The LBA's were sent the same day but when the two weeks were up I started court proceedings and my brother in law didn't. A couple of weeks before christmas he recieved a letter and a phone call from BOS offering him £700 on a £1500 claim he refused and they immediately upped thier offer to £1200. I'm starting to worry that I may have something wrong in the court papers and the BOS solicitors are sharpening thier knives!!!

Does anyone else know of this happening or is it that BOS just grab letters from a HUGE pile and then split them into a MAKE OFFER pile and a WAIT TILL the LAST MINUTE pile?

 

Cheers

Dont think there is any method. I am still waiting for information in relation to my SAR. I have started 2 claims and sent off prelim. I havent even had an acknowledgement of the letters to LBA to be sent off on Monday.

 

I wouldnt worry about anything. they will get round to you.

 

Kind regards

Victory is mine!!! Power to the People - Britain fights back!!!

 

BoS paid all my charges + interest + court fees in to my bank last Saturday then sent me a letter on Wednesday to tell me that they only gave me the money back because it was easier than fight it. This was nearly 3 weeks before the court return date. On to the second claim now which is for a measly £264. but it's my £264.........

 

Thanks everybody

Roryroo,

 

I think there are solicitors offering to pursue these types of claims but I'm not sure what fees they are charging. If your claim is £5,000 and you want it completed in one go, then it would be sensible to have a lawyer pursuer the entire claim for you.

 

If you can be bothered however, simply break the claim up into 4 actions, raise them all at the same time and keep a good track on each one. It will actually be completed sooner than the Ordinary Cause court process a lawyer would pursue as the courts are very busy at that level.

roryroo,

 

The best thing is to put all the details of your claim on a new thread.

 

But apart from that, I think it is best you use the 'Summary Clause' action. This means you can claim below £1500. It costs the same (£39) as 'Small Claims' but there are larger costs if you lose (which is not really an option to be honest). This means you can split your claims into divitions of £1500 rather than £750 (small claim).

 

Also, I would not submit the claims all at once. You need to wait for the first claim to be settled and then submit the next one. I know it is a bit of a long drawn-out process but unfortunately we dont have the same privilages in this area our neighbours in England have.

Well nothings ever simple. Claim 3 return date was on Friday past there and the hearing is this Friday. So I've sent away my Form 11 asking for all monies owed plus interest etc etc to be paid to me. The woman at the court suggested I rang the bank of ****e to see what they were doing. They actually claimed never to have received the summons!!!! I think they then realised that they must have received them and claimed to have "misplaced" them. I agreed to send a copy of the court forms to them so here is my nicey nice email to them. Think they'll get my point!!!! :D

 

NOTICE BEFORE ACTION

 

Court Reference XXXXX

Account no’s:- XXXXXX Sort Code:- XXXX

 

As per our telephone conversation yesterday please find a copy of the court papers which you were summoned with and you have claimed to have “lost” attached. The date for return for you to enter a defence was 16/02/2007. The hearing date is Friday 23/02/2007. As you failed to acknowledge or submit a defence I have applied to the court for a decree for an order for all monies owed plus interest plus expenses to be paid to me. Once I receive this decree I shall be immediately hiring a bailiff to recover this amount from your company on my behalf. I therefore urge you to pay this amount immediately. You can telephone me on XXXXXX to advise when I should receive payment.

 

Best Regards

Hi gargoil:)

 

I don't know much about enforcement issues, sorry. I have a similar situation with B'card looming, how do you 'force' them to do something? hummm especially since mine is a default-removal and non-monetary....will have to search around.

 

I'm sure it'll happen soon hun, have you complained to the FSA etc? or the banking standards board? like I said, I'm unsure about this area.
