    • The neighbour's house is built right on the boundary so the side of their house is effectively the 'wall' in our garden separating the two properties. It's a three storey house and so the mortar poses a potential danger to us. Because of the danger, we have put up an interior fence in our garden to ensure we don't risk mortar dropping on us. That reduces the garden by 25% which is not only an inconvenience, but it's the part of the garden where we had lined up contractors to install a patio and gazebo which we will use for our wedding reception in less than 2 months. We have spoken to the neighbour's caretaker who is on the case, has spoken with a roofer and possibly a scaffolding company, but there are several issues. They don't seem to understand the urgency. As long as there is a risk of falling mortar, we can't carry out any work in the garden, and unless they hurry up, we're looking at cancelling our wedding as it's not viable to book a venue because we can't use our own garden! Also, they want to put the scaffolding up in our garden which would be ok with us if it was a matter of a few days and they hurried up, but there is a tree (most likely protected by the conservation area), so most likely they can only reach part of the roof with the scaffolding if they put it up in our garden. We suggested a roofer with a cherry picker but they seem to want to use a company they've used before. Any and all comments, suggestions, advice is more than welcome.  PS. does it make any difference that the neighbour is a business (ltd) and not a private dwelling?
    • No apology needed, thank you for what you do I am glad to hear they paid. well done on getting back what is yours
    • Apologies all for the late reply and info, i have been away with the Army. They have paid I accepted the offer on the 5th of May, and they paid on the 17th of May.
    • Hello everyone,   Just thought id post an update.   I've today now finally received a claim form from PRA Group. Bit annoying as the last payment to them would have August 2018 so was nearly over the line. I believe my only grounds for defence is that they haven't managed to produce a copy of the DN notice, however from some online research I managed to find some case law that stated they can use their systems screenshot to show proof of it being sent.   I know I have to respond back to their claim form and will do so online on moneyclaim, is now the time to pick up the phone to them and negotiate a deal?   Any advice as always is much appreciated it.

    • 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 need a little bit of help with an Allocation Questionaire. I need some draft directions for PPI if anyone has any.

 

My case is that I tackled Halifax for the PPI on my credit card. They paid it back because they couldn't locate the "application form". I asked for the interest I'd paid on the money taken and also 8%. They mis-calculated the 8% and hadn't returned the interest. So after a few letters etc I lodged a court claim for the remaining 8% and the interest I'd paid on the sums taken.

 

They have now said they are willing to pay the remaining 8% and the court costs but deny I'm entitled to the interest I paid on the PPI sums back.

 

The only thing I can think that I want them to send to the court is a copy of the statements showing interest I paid. The application form can't be found so its pointless asking for that.

 

Can anyone help me, or point me to some sample directions.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi anita

 

Use the format for draft directions that others have used and just put what you said in your post above - a copy of all the statements for this account.

 

In section G just put that you "respectfully suggest" these directions because thewhole case rests on the fact that you were charged interest on this (these) payment(s) and the statements will show what was paid.

Thanks Steven. I'm probably trying to over complicate it!! I saw some draft directions earlier, for charges, and they had a lot more on but much of it not relevent to my case. I had a moment of panic.

 

I've been offered Small Claims Mediation as an option. I hope to try that first if Halifax accept.

I wonder if anyone can offer me a little advice. I'm currently in the middle of a court claim for PPI against Halifax.

 

I requested Small Claims Mediation. The Judge sent both parties a General Form of Judgement or Order stating that we had to contact the Small Claims Mediator within 7 days. I called within the 7 days. 3 weeks later Halifax still haven't contacted them and the Mediator has said she can't seem to contact them. How binding is the Order? Surely if a Judge says you must do something then its not going to help the case if you don't do it, even if they'd just said they didn't want to take up Mediation.

 

Also as part of their defence they stated they were going to send me a cheque for an amount. It wasn't the total claim amount so I carried on with my claim. I still haven't received the cheque almost 2 months later. Can I write to Halifax's solicitors and ask what happended to the payment or should I just leave it to the court?

Part 3 of the Civil Procedure Rules state

CPR Part 3 says:

 

3.4

 

(1) In this rule and rule 3.5, reference to a statement of case includes reference to part of a statement of case.

 

(2) The court may strike out a statement of case if it appears to the court –

© that there has been a failure to comply with a rule, practice direction or court order

 

(3) When the court strikes out a statement of case it may make any consequential order it considers appropriate.

You could write to the court askong for Halifax's case to be struck out under 3.4(2)© and asking for an order under 3.4(3) that they pay you the full amount including what they promised and have not paid
