    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above
    • In anticipation of lodging my court claim next Weds 1 May (14 days after advising P2G that was my deadline for them to settle my claim) I have completed my first draft POC as below: Claim Claim number: xxxxx Reference: P2G MAY 2024   Claimant xxxxx   Defendant Parcel2Go 1A Parklands Lostock Bolton BL6 4SD  Particulars of Claim The defendant has failed to arrange for the safe delivery of the claimant's parcel containing a 8 secondhand golf clubs (valued at £265) that was sent to a UK address using their delivery service (P2G Reference xxxxx). The defendant contracted Evri to deliver the parcel (Evri Reference xxxxx) and refuses to reimburse the claimant on the grounds that the claimant did not purchase their secondary insurance contract. The defendant seeks to exclude their liability in breach of section 57 Consumer Rights Act. The secondary insurance contract is in breach of section 72. The claimant seeks reimbursement of £265, plus P2G fees of £9.10, plus postage costs for two first class letters to P2G of £2.70, plus court fees, plus interest. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from xxxxx to xxxxxx on £276.80 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £xxxx   Details of claim Amount claimed £276.80 I look forward to your thoughts and comments guys! As ever, many thanks - G59    
    • Hmm, that's strange how they got my email then.  I assume the below is ok to send to DCBL, Nicky?  Hello, I am writing regarding our ongoing dispute and the upcoming court claim reference xxxxxxxx. To ensure fairness and transparency in our communications leading up to the court hearing, I request that you use postal mail exclusively for all further correspondence related to this claim. Please refrain from sending any communication or documents via email. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions or need clarification, please feel free to contact me via postal mail at the address provided above. Yours sincerely, xxxx
    • In the SAR, I received the original application, lots of computer print outs, yearly statements from 2013 and the new emails regarding my complaint. They sent me a £50 cheque after I chased them for the SAR after the 30 days. They said they was waiting for me to respond to an email (which I never received) before sending the SAR

    • 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 have to send them a letter asking for payment (DONE) wait 14 days, then send a Letter before action giving them a further 14 days.

 

Then file the claim after that.

 

If you try to speed things up it will all come undone. you have to be seen to be giving them every oppourtunity to comply, any undue haste may go against you.

 

good luck

Dave - I hope you pick this one up - I am preparing my on-line claim ready to 'hit the button' on 8th August and used the online interest calculator within this site. I don't doubt it for a minute but, on a claim of around £780, the interest clocked up to around £1,040. Does that sound right to you please? If it's right, I hope it does go to court! I sent one last letter today informing RBS that there will be no further contact from me and that if they haven't paid up before 8th August I will proceed to court and inform local and national press.

 

Just wanted to say thanks as well. After years of feeling downtrodden and degraded, my self esteem is coming back with avengeance! This site has empowered me and I feel liberated! THANKS!

If the charges are from quite a wee while ago then it is feasable that they can be quite a sizeable amount. The bulk of the charges Im claiming are from 3years+ ago when I was a poor student and the interest I calculatedu sing the spreadsheet in the library is quite a bit more than yours. My claim with BOS is £3300 but with interest its nearly £5k. :)

BOS

Claim No.3 for £589.75+8%, Decree received, Sheriffs Officers instructed to serve a charge 21/4!

Claim No.4:- claiming £1507.00, Court Papers submitted 5/4 !

sorry rebecca only just seen you post

 

as gargoil said its feasable, remember its 8% per year so if some of the older charges were big the end result will be quite large. its calculated at about 0.00022 per day (8%/365) so £100 charge for 1 year works out at £8.00. the same £100 for 6 years = £48 it soon adds up

 

but recheck just to make sure

 

if you have got £200 interest on one item its probably wrong unless the item is VERY large

Roll on this time tomorrow! Unless the money has miraculously turned up in my account by the time the post comes in the morning, I'm hitting that MCOL button. OH JOY! I know I'm nowhere near arrived yet but the buzz is immense!.. And the thought of getting the interest on top makes it even more worthwhile!

 

Meanwhile, time is running out for RBS to supply a response to my Subject Access Request on my personal account... hmmmmm

Hi,

 

I maybe wrong but RBS are given 28days to put an "acknowledgement of service" then once this is recieved RBS get a further 28days to submitt a defence, once a defence is recieved the case is allocated a local county court. This is when you and RBS get an allocation questionare (AQ) to fill in and send back to court within a further 14days(i think). Once they have both been submitted, the Judge will either request further info from YOU or RBS or give a date of hearing.

 

Hope that is clear, confused myself writing it.....:-o

Hi Folks.. Back again. The full 28 days from acknowledgement has passed and I tried to enter judgement by default. The website says I have to wait 28 days.. Does this mean I just wait til Monday please? Slightly confused??? A swift response would be really appreciated! Thanks...

usually its 28 days from being "served" I think they allow 2 or maybe 3 days for the "service" so its probably a few more days :-(

As I said in my PM, they will probably try to get judgement set aside. If they do you might as well agree - it shows willing and they'll end up paying anyway! Try not to get too excited :cool: You can see from my thread how things can drag on, and on, and on......;) Good luck, I will be watching!

Rebecca,

 

looks like your case has obviously slipped through the Cobblers net. I thought mine might have what with it being holiday time, but alas no! Keep up the pressure like Blue says, have you got all of the relevant case numbers (Bank, Court & Cobblers), that seems to be one of the things that was missing from Blue's case. You may wish to consider sending a quick letter to Cobblers informing them of your actions, they seem to do the same whenever they do something (info the Court too!). This may speed things up? Make them see you mean business.....which you do!:cool:

An interesting twist... Any feedback would be appreciated. Yesterday, I phoned the court and was told that no defence had been received. This morning, first thing, I requested judgement by default, which the computer allowed me to do. I have just been back on the MCOL website and a defence has been lodged, dated 9th September. I am slightly bemused???? Has this happened to anyone else, please?

I don't actually know but it is quite common for a defence to be entered at the very last minute. This one has just been a bit slow (2nd class stamp?) :) Anyway, at least your case should proceed a bit faster than mine - not difficult I know :lol:

Rebecca,

 

sounds like another call to the Court would be worthwhile. It may be that the Court don't 'open' till 0900 and therefore didnt enter the defence received until after you requested judgement, in which case they may have 'over-ruled' your request. May be a glitch in the court system.....no dramas though, the rest of the process is much better mapped out this way!

Not sure, maybe a question for the Court, they are usually very helpful, especially if you explain the circumstances. I had a friend was was caught speeding in the UK whilst serving in Germany and he was 'let off' because the Policeman realised that the costs wouldn't be worth the eventual fine/sentence. I guess a Solicitor can represent you if you wish, you may want to speak/emither Ms Burgoyne and explain your circumstances to her and outline the costs involved in your having toreturn for an hour long hearing from wherever, don't forget the hotel, car hire, food costs as well!! It may help in an early settlement?

Well, sadly, I have received all the bumpf from Cobbetts, which I am currently working on. However, on 19th September, (days away and well within the time allowed to return the stuff to the court) the 28 days will be up before I take action on my personal account. Would it be in order to include details of both my business claim and personal claim in the one court hearing or do I have to go through the whole thing separately, please? It seems a waste of time and as Cobbetts have asked for more information, couldn't I just say that they have had adequate time to respond and that I have decided to present both claims at once?

Oo-er Rebecca,

 

not sure about that, cos would it still be below the £5k Small Claims limit? You may be better off keeping them separate, which isn't ideal considering your future life-plans. I'd be tempted to ask a solicitor about this one, seeing as you have submitted an MCOL, you could submit an N244 Application Notice to the Court to include your personal account claim. Sorry if this doesn't help. just thinking out loud before I've finished my 1st coffee of the day....

Please check out the above post as well, but I have now discovered that I have over-claimed for interest. I did post regarding this sometime back. I intend to send a revised figure to the Court and Cobbetts. Do you think this will be ok. The actual 'charges' amount was correct.
