    • His financial situation isn’t great, and the landlord has made lots of things up. The things he’s put isn’t true at all. My friend did tell the full truth with incoming and outgoing, I helped him fill in his form and he checked bills etc. to make sure it was right. His wage is ok, but not as good as the landlord thinks it is,  and he doesn’t have anything spare. How much are they likely to take from him? Should he send any reply?  the letter just says to take the court letter with him. 
    • Hi and thanks It looks like they ticked all the boxes to me but I'll try and upload the notice. I was wondering if a witness to late delivery might be considered proof - I'm assuming they posted it as normal but Royal Mail stuffed up delivery. If not then they're really saying it just has to be posted within 12 days of the incident, regardless of when it is received. Annoying! pcn front.pdf pcn back page.pdf
    • Hi welcome to the Forum.  If a PCN is sent out late ie after the 12th day of the alleged offence, the charge cannot then be transferred from the driver to the keeper.T he PCN is deemed to have arrived two days after dispatch so in your case, unless you can prove that Nexus sent the PCN several days after they claim you have very little chance of winning that argument. All is not lost since the majority of PCNs sent out are very poorly worded so that yet again the keeper is not liable to pay the charge, only the driver is now liable. If you post up the PCN, front and back we will be able to confirm whether it is compliant or not. Even if it is ok, there are lots of other reasons why it is not necessary to pay those rogues. 
    • Hi 1 Date of the infringement  arr 28/03/24 21:00, dep 29/03/24 01.27 2 Date on the NTK  08/04/2024 (Date of Issue) 3 Date received Monday 15/04/24 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012?  Yes 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Yes 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] No  7 Who is the parking company? GroupNexus 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] Petrol Station Roadchef Tibshelf South DE55 5T 'operating in accordance with the BPA's Code of Practice' I received a Parking Charge letter to keeper on Monday 15/04/24, the 17th day after the alleged incident. My understanding is that this is outside the window for notifying. The issue date was 08/04/2024 which should have been in good time for it to have arrived within the notice period but in fact it actually arrived at lunchtime on the 15th. Do I have to prove when it arrived  (and if so how can I do that?) or is the onus on them to prove it was delivered in time? All I can find is that delivery is assumed to be on the second working day after issue which would have been Weds 10//04/24 but it was actually delivered 5 days later than that (thank you Royal Mail!). My husband was present when it arrived - is a family member witness considered sufficient proof?

    • 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've been a member for some months but this is my first post. I have carefully followed all the instructions for reclaiming bank charges for my 2 sons. The son who was with the Woolwich was paid out after the first letter but he was only charged £400 so a success there. The youngest son banks with the Nationwide BS and they strung it out until it became subject to the stay order. I have successfully applied to have the stay lifted. My court date is next Thursday 29 November. I wasn't requested to send in a court bundle but I did it anyway and now I am cacking myself because the date is getting nearer and nearer. I was hoping for an offer before the date but if it doesn't come and I end up in court I don't have any idea of what to say, what to ask or anything. This claim involves over £4000 so I don't want to mess it up after coming so far. Can anyone help me with some advice on what to say, how to argue my case etc....please....!!

Thank you, it is so nice to know there are people out there waiting to help...an boy do I need help! I only got it lifted because of the advice and templates on this site. The main reason it was lifted I think is they have taken over £4000 from my sons account in charges and now have debt collectors hassling him for a £1200 overdraft - all made up of bank charges!

 

I am so hoping you can help me to successful conclusion, but I must admit to being more than a little bit jittery now.

 

It is being heard at Bromley (in Kent) County Court. Keep thinking how for Christmas all I want is a friendly sympathetic barrister who wanted to stand in for me....but if that doesn't happen, please advise me how to act in court. I don't think shaking for 5 minutes and then throwing up for another 5 will impress the judge but that's my only options at the moment!

I would be suprised if you didnt get a phone call and letter offering settlement in the next few days- they really, really dont like courtrooms!

 

If you do find youself in court, do not worry- as a litigant in person you will be given every chance to make your case by the judge, who will make allowances for your position.

 

Firstly, you and Nationwide's representative will most likely be told to go out and try to sort it out between yourselves, only if they are so silly not to offer settlement will you need to make your case before the judge.

They were still hassling until I sent them a letter telling them to go ahead with the court action and that I would do what their client had done to us, i.e. apply for a stay on their case until our case against their client had been heard. I sent them a copy of all the paperwork regarding the court case including the stay lifting and they sent back saying they would discuss this with thier client and get back to us. Haven't heard anything since, but they did hassle us for weeks despite being told previously that we were involved in court action for the amount claimed as we disputed it. They sent letters offering a reduced amount in full settlement if we settled within 7 days which we refused. We have always stated that should the case be found against us we will immediately make arrangements to repay this overdraft.

The thing is, if I do end up in court, what do I say, I know I can't just say I think they charged us too much, do I quote anything from this website or what. Sorry to be so clueless but I can't help it, I am blonde afterall. If you can give me some direct questions, facts to quotes, answers or anything like that it would be great. With our luck I know we will end up in front of the Judge and if I wreck it for him after all this I will be so mad with myself.

Hi, it would help to have an insight as to what arguments Nationwide have put forward in their defence then we can look at your arguements

 

you need to do some reading......

these threads are very informative,

 

the main thing is dont panic and dont be lead by what the barrister says to you out side of the court, some are known to try and suggest that you dont have a case and you should give up, just remember how many banks have paid out and how much money they have paid back, ultimatley if hte banks were so right they wouldnt hand over millions would they

Did you use the CAG Particulars of Claim?

Yes

 

Did you calculate the charges from his bank statements?

Yes

 

Did you present the charges as a readily understandable table?

Yes

 

Did NW respond to your claim and file a defence?

Yes - sort of

 

If so, what did the defence say?

No details of actual defence were shown, we just received a copy of the bottom bit of the Acknowledgement of Service with the box 1, 'I intend to defend all of this claim' ticked.

This was of course issued to us after the initial claim was filed, we haven't heard anything since the stay was lifted.

okey dokey,

 

well no defence really does make it had to deal with, first thing in the morning i would suggest you get on the phone to the court and ask if there is a defence on file, they may have filed one they may not, they probably gambled on the case being stayed. in this instance, if there is no defence on file at the court then i would be filing for judgment in your favour

 

i would most definatley contact the court though and ask if there is a defence because you have not received it, ask if it has been sent you as it may be lost in the post

 

regards

I did keep trying to post earlier but couldn't seem to get the system to accept me. Still at least I'm not on my own any more. Your advice has been very helpful and much appreciated. I will do the contacting the court thing and then I'll do my best if it comes to it. Keep your fingers crossed for me and I'll let you know the outcome!

Hi, well dont forget many of us have been there, in the same position as yourself, its very daunting the thought of court

 

but its not as bad as you may think,

 

the judge will take into account that you are a litigant in person so the judge will most probably be helpful in explaining things to you

 

dont worry, if you need any help ask and we will do our best to help you

Did you include in your application the info that the bank was attempting to enforce the debt by passing it to a DCA for collection? If so then this is why the stay was lifted.

 

The banks have been told by the Mercantile Court they can continue to have a stay but if they attempt to enforce any debt comprising bank penalty charges pre OFT case the stay will be lifted upon application by the debtor/claimant & the matter allowed to proceed to trial
