    • If it's Statute Barred and haven't made any payments towards it then send them a letter from the Library.
    • Hi 👋  I've received an out of the blue letter from Intrum saying they've passed a historic debt to Resolvecall who will be visiting our property if we don't get in touch.  I am certain this is statute barred and designed to scare us.  Do we ignore it?
    • 1) You can call them judge 2) I would say something to the line of "The Claimant needs to prove I was driving. I don't accept or deny being driving." 3) Yes I will see if I can find out for you now  
    • Hi All, I've just had the inevitable N24 and other paperwork arrive. I've read other examples on here and I think I understand the steps to follow. I have until the 28th May to return the N180 Small Claims Direction Questionnaire, I also have an N244 Application notice copy. I read an update on a case you kindly put a link in for me to read. Turns out they lost in court and are now struggling. I really don't want to get to that stage and am thinking mediation may be the way forward? Thoughts please? Pretty sure I've missed the 7 days to have the order set aside.  For reference, this is what I received: Dated 8th May Before Deputy District Judge Baker sitting at the Civil National Business Centre, 4th Floor St Katharine's House, 21-27 St Katharine's Street, Northampton, NN1 2LH   The Court will deal with the application to lift the stay without hearing under CPR 23.8(c)   It is ordered that:   The Application to lift the stay and for direction questionnaires to be issued is granted.   Because this Order has been made without a hearing, the parties have the right to apply to have the Order set aside, varied or stayed. A party making such an application must send or deliver the application to the court (together with any appropriate fee) to arrive within seven days of service of this Order. If the application is one which requires a hearing, and   a) the party making the application is the Defendant; and b) the Defendant is an individual,   then upon the filing of the application the claim will be transferred to the Defendant's home court. In all other cases requiring a hearing the claim will be transferred to the preferred court.

    • 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.

Been away for the weekend but on my return I had a letter from Cobbetts and also the AQ from the court which I will fill in and post this week.

The letter from Cobbetts is I think the usual bog standard rubbish and I just need to know if I should reply or not.

It says;

 

We note your comments on our Request for Further Information. It is our clients contention that your Particulars of Claim did not properly particularise your claim.

For example,our client cannot properly defend a claim where you have not given the details of each charge you claim is disproportionate and unreasonable.

The Court is bound by an overriding objective to deal with cases justly and to ensure that parties are on an equal footing. It was clearly the case that our client could not respond to your claim where you did not provide sufficient particulars.

Our client therefore objects to your allegation that the Request is intimidating.

 

I have of course sent the list of charges to Natwest and also to Cobbetts with all dates and reasons for the charge plus the interest so they have actually got all the info they are asking for in the letter.

Should I send a copy of this letter to the court with the AQ along with the list of charges complete with interest so that they can see what games these people are playing,and let Cobbetts know that I have done so.

Yes, do that. This is Cobbetts standard reply to your CPR part 18 refusal.

 

You could send them a mirror image reply, or ignore it, up to you

 

Dear Sir,

 

I refer to your letter dated XXX

 

I note your comments on my allegation that your CPR Part 18 request is intimidating. It is my contention that my Particulars of Claim did properly particularise my claim. For example, a schedule of charges, which fully details each charge I claim is disproportionate and unreasonable, has been sent to your client, the court and yourselves at every stage.

 

I agree that the court is bound with an overriding objective to deal with cases justly and ensure that parties are on an equal footing. It was clearly the case that your client could respond to my claim since I have provided sufficient particulars. I object therefore to your allegation that your client was not on an equal footing.

 

Yours faithfully.

Today I received 2 letters from Cobbetts one offering me £1100 and the other offering me £2200 as a gesture of goodwill and of course informing me that I dont have a hope in hell of winning in court both dated 24th Oct.

These people really are useless, I will of course send them a letter accepting as part payment I am sure they will pay up very soon.

Should I also remind them that my costs have now increased by £100 for the AQ which I posted yesterday,and also the daily interest.

Letter posted saying will accept £2200 as part payment but my costs have now increased by another £100 and please dont forget the £0.77 per day interest since moneyclaim was issued.

I can smell another victory for this site very shortly.

Got a letter from Cobbetts today thanking me for my letter and saying that they suspect that one of the letters was mistakenly attached to my letter and was sent to me in error.

They want me to telephone them to confirm the name of the person of the letter they were offering £1100 to.

Both letters were addressed to me and both were sent seperately these people really are totally useless.

Got a copy of Cobbetts AQ today and in Other Info it says,

Case management directions cannot be proposed until the claimant serves a reply to the request for further information which was due on 27th Oct 2006.

In light of this,the defendant may amend its defence or apply to strike out.

I take it thats the CPR18 to which I sent the standard reply from the Library and I have of course sent a list of charges to both Natwest and Cobbets.

Should I write to the court to tell them that Cobbets have this info or ignore it.

Is this Cobbetts standard comments on their AQ.

Thanks all

I got exactly the same in my AQ yesterday morning. Like you, I have already sent them the CPR reply from the template library, plus another charges schedule and they have wrote back to me confirming they had received this letter, so what are they on about - until the claimant serves a reply to the request for further information which was due on 27th Oct 2006

I don't know whether to tell the court, wrie back some kind of response to Cobbetts, or just ignore it

Strange one

:) Eddie, how are things?

Try not to worry, you'll have your cheque soon, I am sure!

;-) I found the last few days of waiting especially nerve-racking,too, but you'll be fine!:grin:

Just got home to find a note from the postie saying couldnt get any answer and need a signature for a letter.

Could this be my cheque?

I hope so.

Its either a cheque from Natwest or a cheque from Capital One which I am also waiting for.

All will be revealed tomorrow when I pick up the letter.

Wallet I wrote to the court informing them again that I had supplied Cobbetts with all the info they needed and also sent a letter to Cobbetts informing them what I had done.

Aaahh, now then.

So did I yesterday morning. I wasn't in and there was a Sorry You Were Out card on the floor saying they need my signature at the collection office for a SPECIAL DELIVERY.

I think if the delivery what i missed yeterday is not the cheque, then I will send Cobbetts a letter back and also let the court know

Hi all,

It appears that i'm at exactly the same point as you - awaiting my cheque, and i must agree that each time i hear the postie i run for the door. Need the cheque badly as Focus diy shop have a 60% off offer on kitchens which finishes in a week.

good luck - hope you get you cheques soon which hopefully will be in this weekends batch. As we were offered 50% on te same day then we should get our settlements on the same day also, or at least that's what logic says.

chin up:smile:

Bite me and i'll bite back....

I'VE WON

 

Got my cheque today for the full amount.

Once the cheque has cleared there will be a donation to this site, and I just want to thank all those who advised and encouraged me through the process as I wouldnt have done this only for this excellent site.

If you are still fighting for your money back dont give in, keep on going and you will win.:D :D :D :D :D
