    • So as I stated, I posted my letter off but over 2 weeks later I've had a visit from one of their reps. I didn't indulge him in any conversation, and I just stated that any such debts are statute-barred and closed the door on him. I was hoping they'd take notice of the letter. Where do I go from here? Thanks
    • I apologise if I was being unclear. Where it currently stands is that they will have it repair, placing scaffolding in our garden for 5 days. They have moved fast, but we will still have to postpone our contractors, meaning, we won't necessarily have the work done in time for the wedding and therefore will incur additional expenses for either a marquee or a wedding venue. They are vehemently against having any kind of liability in any regard but continue repeating that they are legally entitled to use our garden for their repairs (I believe this is true unless the work can be carried out using a cherry picker). The neighbour seems either indifferent or oblivious to the fact they can't reach all of the side of the roof from the space where they can place the scaffolding. They have asked their roofer of choice about using a cherry picker but the roofer has said it wasn't possible. It's not clear whether the roofer doesn't want to use a cherry picker or whether there is an issue with it. They have told us it is a problem that we are installing a gazebo as it will prevent them to access their roof from our garden in the future?!?  
    • Couldn't agree more, really wanted a true ruling on this just for the knowledge but pretty sure the Judge made some decisions today that he didn't need to?.. maybe they all go this way on the day? We hear back so few post court dates I'm not sure. Each Judge has some level of discretion. Their sol was another Junior not even working at their Firm, so couldn't speak directly for them! that was fortunate I think because if she would have rejected in court better, she might have  been able to force ruling, we are at that point!, everybody there!!, Judge basically said openly that he can see everything for Judgement!!!  but she just said "I can speak to the claimant and find out!" - creating the opportunity for me to accept. I really think the Judge did me a favor today by saying it without saying it. Knowing the rep for the sol couldn't really speak to the idea in the moment. Been to court twice in a fortnight, on both occasions heard 4 times with others and both of my claims, the clerk mention to one or both parties "Letting the Judge know if you want to have a quick chat with each other"! So, it appears there's an expectation of the court that there is one last attempt at settling before going through the door. So, not a Sol tactic, just Court process!. Judge was not happy we hadn't tried to settle outside! We couldn't because she went to the loo and the Judge called us in 10 minutes early! - another reason to stand down to allow that conv to happen. Stars aligned there for me I think. But yeh, if the sol themselves, or someone who can make decisions on the case were in court, I would have received a Judgement against today I think. She was an 'advocate'.. if I recall her intro to me correctly.. So verbal arguments can throw spanners in Court because Plinks dogs outsource their work and send a Junior advocate.

    • 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.

You can't do this on moneyclaim, has to be N1 at your local court. Be aware that they may try and charge you £150 instead of £30 on the basis that it is for the return of documents. that's why you put a monetary value in the claim.

If they're unsure, give them details of Seminole's similar claim below and ask them to phone Clerkenwell Court for clarification

 

 

Claim Number: 6CK01728

Date of Issue: 11 May 2006

Deemed Served: 19 May 2006

Acknowledged: 25 May 2006

 

Thats why I was goingto put in a charge of £20.50 for costs- do I have to physically go to court, as an N1 is downlaodable? Can I post it - recorded or whatever as getting to the court is nigh on impossible for the next few weeks.

 

Thanks

If you pay the 3 pound fees for the copy statements, can you claim that back as costs??

 

Had the microfiche letter as most others seem to, and have sent the reply in the abbey forum, but not holding out for much hope.

That it has complied with SAR (I haven't recevied a thing from them in way of statements or list of charges) as per letter dated 6/08/06

That I suffered no damages, and have taken no steps to mitigate loss.

 

That if I am requesting statments pre 2004 then I can't have them as no relevant filing system, but I can have them if I pay for statements.

 

Load of rubbish really.

I am not sure how any of that magically makes their charges lawful.

Think you might be on to a winner there.

I received 23 blank sheets of paper with the 'Rest of it is on microfiche' excuse letter from Mr Yousaf.

 

Tried something different. Called the number given (0161-200-7476), warned them the call was being recorded and gave the ref number, etc.

 

Said that microfiche was covered by the DPA, I'd checked, they were lying and as far as I was concerned the 40 days was still ticking - and I'd report BastardCard for non-compliance on day 41 prompt. The very pleasant advisor said she'd pass on my comments to one Tracey Burgess, who is apparently dealing with the DPA 'backlog'.

 

And they cashed the £10 cheque....

 

I'm going to enjoy this one.

Hi just writing to let you know my experience with b/c, as with all others they used the same rubbish answers to dpa so what i have done is send them a LBA letter asking for estimated amount to be refunded, sent it to tracy burgess at the address given and after a couple of days i called her and she said she is waiting for confirmation from the m/fiche office to say how much my charges are!!! to see if they agree with my amount requested. that took me by surprise to hear her say that so i am waiting now to what happens. i have already put non compliance complaint in to ICO and have received ref number back. also i have already had default judgement against woolwich/barclays- which they paid up 2days before court hearing!!!and i'm about to start new claim for b/card in court as i have learned that barclays dont really listen until you press c/court button(i know they make offers) but i got 600.00 more out of them- because they didnt want the judge to set the figure. they panic and their man james mcdonald from legal dept called me 3 times to make sure i contacted c/court to stop my case. so my advise is take c/court action every time if you can, you always get your fee's back!!! all the best with your case cheers LES

Court date 14th December - DP non-compliance this is despite being offered the £50.50 I claimed by Adrian Ruffhead and again explaining to him that I have eceived nothing from BC - and would therfore not consider the 50.50 as F&F, and then receiving letter from court asking me to explain in response to defence why I was entitled to continue claim -

 

oh well xmas shopping in morning court in afternoon.

The microfiched statements came - but still not others - quick call to the data controller and I had them 4 days later - she was surprised I hadn't received any statements and legal had only told her to send microfiched ones - guess they never read anything I sent them saying I had received nothing from them. Money paid into BC account and letter prelim request sent to Adrain Ruffhead with copy of notice to discontinue non- compliance claim - so I guess I have won so far.:D
