    • So do I gather that you are out of pocket to the tune of £2500 which is part of the purchase price and a further £1800 in respect of the warranty? The £2500 was used to buy the car. Did warranties200 per year or did they pay big motoring world directly?
    • Farage has agreed to be interviewed by Nick Robinson on Panorama. 7pm this Friday, BBC1. He didn't do very well last time he was questioned on specific policies.
    • I did what I told my husband not to do…and I telephoned them. All credit where it’s due, the lady on the phone was very helpful. I’m not gonna lie I broke down on the phone as this has been incredibly stressful. Perhaps that helped, but I would like to think they just realised they sold us a faulty car.    so we only bought one extended warranty and that was with Nissan. The car salesman gave us the hard sell and we fell for 100%! Part of the sell was if there was ever a problem then we would only ever take the car to a Nissan garage. There was a problem after a few days and we were instructed to go to a third party grange! We contacted Nissan on the phone and they said they would put on a complaint for us so maybe that helped too.    we just want to try and get all of our spend back now. The deposit, money for the finance and money for the extended warranty. I reload we will probably have to pay costs but I guess we can’t argue with that. We just need a new car!!!! Aaarrgghhhh!    thanks so much for your help once again. 
    • Right I see I didn't realise it had to be laid out like that. I have had another go, sorry I'm really struggling here! 1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. The claimant has thus far been unable to produce any evidence that the alleged debt has been legally assigned to them. Nor have they been able to provide evidence that notice of assignment was given to the defendant on the dates stated in the particulars of their claim. 3. The claimant has given no details as to the breakdown of their claim or what dates it relates to. As a result the defendant is unable to specifically defend the claim until the claimant can show how the amount has been reached. In the claimants particulars of claim, the claimant openly admits that they have a copy of the agreement and its terms and conditions but have failed to provide these to the defendant. Pursuant to the civil procedure rules Practice Direction 16 (7.3) Where a claim is based upon a  written agreement: (1) a copy of the contract or documents constituting the agreement should be attached to or served with the particulars of claim and the original(s)  should be available at  the hearing. With the court’s permission the Claimant is put to strict proof to:- a) show and disclose how the Defendant has entered into an agreement; b) show and disclose how the Claimant has reached the amount claimed ; c) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 4. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5 (4) it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 5. It is therefore denied that the defendant is indebted to the claimant as alleged or at all.

    • 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.

Hi

I have just started claiming against the Halifax. I have written for details of charges for one account and am claiming £685 for the other. Finally did it after they charged me £53 for being about 15mins over overdraft limit.

My husband thinks I've finally lost the plot!

We will soon find out.

Bit nervous about appearing in court! Hope it won't come to that.

Wish me luck. Cathy :)

Hi I am claiming £685 of bank charges from the halifax. I have sent the preliminary letter and the letter before action. Tomorrow I am due to go to the next stage and begin a claim. The halifax have written to me offering £250 in full and final settlement which I intend to reject.

 

Should I write back stating I will accept this as part payment only or ignore it and just start the claim?

 

They have also said this payment is in full for all my halifax accounts. Yet I have another account that i intend to claim for when I have won this one.

 

Hope someone can help.

 

Thanks Cathy

Hi Cathy, send your letter accepting the £250 as an interim payment and file your claim tomorrow. You must stick to your timetable, and now you can add the 8% interest ;)

 

Good luck

Hi

Thanks for your help!

Sorry to be a bit hard work but do I write and accept the £250 as an interim payment and then claim for the balance or claim for the whole amount in case they decide not to pay £250 as I am only accepting as part payment.

Thanks cathy

As far as i know Halifax haven't closed anyone's account yet but like it says in the guide hopefully you will have your 'parachute' account ready just in case.

 

not sure how long to get payed but from what i've read the bank seems to quote normaily up to 5 days. Just keep checking your account they seem to have a habbit of paying up and not telling you.

 

Legaly i think it's somthing like 14 days but the court should be able to tell you give them a ring if you don't have the cash on Monday, Or you could try this lady..

Halifax may not even be aware of this yet as you have won by default. I would leave it 7 days before getting a warrant to send the bailiffs in.

 

However, be warned that Halifax may well apply to have the judgement set-aside.

Hi Halifax did not defend my claim for £800 and the courts issued a judgement for them to pay up on the 8th September. However I have not received anything yet. Do I continue to wait or take a warrant out through the court or something else?

 

I don't know anything about warrants. Does it cost me anything?

 

Thanks for any advice received.

Cathy,

 

Not too sure honey, but when my case did not receive any defence (return date 8th september) I called them and followed up with an email to rachel hincliffe and had the money in my account and the claim settled within 24 hours ... there had been an admin foul up (for a change!!Not!) and they had not had the summons through ....

 

Just a thought

I will not be held liable for any advice/comments given... if in any doubt please consult professional advice.

I expect you will have the money soon but yes you can issue a warrant and i understand this will cost £35. If you look up small claims court on the internet you should find a link to the courts service and this will explain in detail what each outcome is and what it will entail.Good Luck. Shout if you need help. I am about a week behind you.

They haven't paid because your claim probably got under the radar (well, they have so many of those these days, poor lambs!)

 

Phone them, and break the good news to them. Tell them they have until Friday to pay up, or you'll get the Warrant of Execution sorted out. (Cost £55, payable by them once issued, even if they bailiffs never actually go there). Make sure they pay up interest right until the day of settlement.
