    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • 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!

    • 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 Rory,

 

well the 14 days + 30 days are nearly up and i have still to receive a copy of my CCA

and copies of the notice of assignation to Brunswick Collections.

Are you able to help me draft a reply to them?

 

I need to be aware that the case is on hold with the court

in that the banks solicitors have provided a written undertaking that they will not minute for a decree in absence

at the present time as they are awaiting instructions from their Clients (this being the bank),

as my request in term of the consumer credit act is still outstanding.

 

I did not lodge a notice of intention to defend

as the legal advice i was given was that i did not need to because of the undertaking given

and the fact that if i had lodged a notice of intent to defend it would have set of a timescale for hearings etc

and i would have had to start paying solicitors fees which were to be £180 per day, which i could not afford

as they (Drummond Miller), said i could not be guaranteed to win.

 

i did however, lodge a letter with ther court explaining the lack on notice of intention to defend and why.

 

i asked that he letter be placed with the papers should a minute of decree in absence be applied for by the bank.

 

Do you think you can help?

Let me have a think. I think really we need to give the bank a bit of a push in terms of getting them to drop the action completely and hopefully just write the account off.

Hi Rory,

 

the 30 days have now passed and i have not received anything nor have i had anything to indicate why they have not provided me with a copy of the CCA, have you had a chance to think about a suggested response?

Link to post

Okay

I've drafted a letter to give them a poke.

 

Please be aware though that this may result in them frantically searching for a copy of the agreement

but if they haven't found it by now I think we can probably assume that they won't.

 

WITHOUT PREJUDICE

 

DearSir/Madam,

 

Re: Account No xxxx

 

It would appear that you have failed in your obligations to provide a copy of the credit agreement originally requested on (date). As considerable time has now passed since the issue of my request I am of the opinion that no such copy of the agreement exists.

 

I am therefore of the opinion that you have also failed in your obligations to comply with the various anti money laundering regulations in not keeping such documents. This, as I’m sure you are aware, is a very serious offence.

 

I now require the balance of this account to be returned to zero and your Sheriff Court claim against me withdrawn. I believe that it is in your companies best interests in order to reduce your legal costs regarding this matter and those that may be claimed against you.

 

Please note you may also consider this letter a statutory notice under Section 10 of the Data Protection Act to cease processing any data in relation to this account with immediate effect. This means you must remove all information regarding this account from your own internal records and from my records with any credit reference agencies. Should you refuse to comply, you must within 14 days provide me with a detailed breakdown of your reasoning behind continuing to process my data. It is not sufficient to simply state that you have a ‘legal right’, you must outline your reasoning in this matter and state upon which legislation this reasoning depends.

 

Should you fail to respond within 14 days, I will expect that this means you agree to remove all such data.

 

 

Furthermore, you should be aware that a creditor is not permitted to take any action against an account whilst it remains in dispute. The lack of a credit agreement is a very clear dispute and as such the following would apply:

  • You may not demand any payment on the account, nor am I obliged to offer any payment to you.
  • You may not add any further interest or charges to the account.
  • You may not pass the account to any third party.
  • You may not register any information in respect of the account with any of the credit reference agencies.
  • You may not issue a default notice related to the account.

Any continuation of the claim regarding this account would be subsequently avered as vexatious on your behalf.

 

Please also be aware, the CCA 1974 is very clear that a default can only be issued for breach of a valid, regulated agreement. As there is no agreement a default cannot be lawfully issued as no valid, regulated agreement has been breached. You may be aware of the case of Durkin v DSG Retail Ltd and HFC Bank PLC 2008 where significant damages were awarded for the wrongful impugnation of Durkin's credit reputation.

 

 

Furthermore, please be aware that your court claim against me could, under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997, be construed as unlawful harassment. It could also be considered an unfair trading practice under The Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 as the claim was issued when the account was already in dispute as well as against the Banking Code.

 

I would ask that you review this account and respond favourably within 14 days of the date of this letter. Failure to do so will result in me reporting this matter to The Financial Crime Branch of HM Treasury and any other authorities as I see fit.

 

I look forward to your reply in due course.

 

Yours faithfully

Thanks Rory,

 

"Please be aware though that this may result in them frantically searching for a copy of the agreement but if they haven't found it by now I think we can probably assume that they won't."

 

do you think i should hold off sending the letter?

i'm happy to wait a bit,

but i thought that after the 30 days had past i had to write to them.

if it's better to wait then i can.

what do you think?

No you don't have to write to them after the 30 days.

There is no longer a summary criminal offence committed after the 30 days.

There is no rush for you to send the letter but generally if they can't put their hands on it fairly quickly it's because it's no longer in their system.

 

If you're not comfortable with sending the letter yet then don't.

As I say, there's no rush.

Thanks gain for all your help Rory.

 

I'm just not sure what i should do.

 

After i wrote and complianed about them raising legal action while the account was in dispute,

their reply indicated that the case would be sisted pending the response to my request under the Consumer Credit Act.

I have taken this to read that until i receive a response from them i do not need to do anything.

Do you think i should just sit back and wait until they get back to me before i send the letter?

 

Do you know if they are committing an offence by having raised legal action while the account was in dispute?

Yes and no. You need to show your hand a little in that you are willing to do things to them, making them aware that it's not all one sided.

 

Do you know if they are committing an offence by having raised legal action while the account was in dispute?

Yes. Personally I would make a complaint to the OFT. As the case has been sisted they may not be overly interested but it's worth a punt. At the very least it shows that you are not bluffing.

Your right Rory,

 

is there any chance you could help me compose a letter to the OFT re them raising court action?,

and how do you think i should show my hand a little s

hould i just send your letter and a copy of what i send to the OFT or just a copy of what is sent to the OFT at this stage?

 

i'm sorry to keep asking questions and for so much help

but, as i'm sure you've already noticed,

i am useless at this kind of thing although i am learning and i am very grateful for all the help you've given me.

Let me think about it and I'll try and do something for you tomorrow. I had to get up very early today (and unfortunately have to tomorrow as well)so I'm afraid it's off to bed early tonight for me.

Okay this might still need a little work but here's my first go at your letter to the OFT.

Dear Sir/Madam

 

Formal complaint against Clydesdale Bank

 

 

 

I am writing to complain under the above CPUT regulations.

I have had a court claim raised against me by the aforementioned bank in respect of a purported debt which I understand is governed by the Consumer Credit Act 1974. I formally requested in writing a true copy of the credit agreement on the 14th October 2008 and formally placed the account in dispute.

To date they have failed to supply any document which purports to be a copy of the alleged agreement and on (date) became in default of supplying the true copy of the agreement.

A claim was raised against me on (date) in the sheriff court and although sisted on (date), after an official complaint made by myself to the bank in writing on (date), the claim has not been withdrawn by the bank.

I consider that Clydesdale bank are operating an unfair commercial practice in attempting to enforce an account through the courts which was clearly in dispute before the date the ordinary cause action was raised and it is for this reason that I am sending you this complaint.

I enclose copies of the letters which they have been sending to me and those which I have sent to them.

I would be grateful if you would acknowledge this letter and let me know what procedures you now intend to follow and what your targets for action are.

Yours faithfully

Thank you so much Rory.

 

The letter to the OFT looks good but i'll hold off sending it (and the other suggested letter ), for a couple of days just incase you want to amend it.

 

thanks again

 

Hi

I have also received a Citation for two Amex cards,

did you use Drummond Miller's?

I am looking at instructing counsel

and wondered if you had?

My situation is similar to your own but they have only produced a pre-contractual application

which does not contain all the prescribed terms and zilch for the second.

Hi Monty,

 

yes it was Drummond Miller Solicitors who gave me legal advice and they quoted around £160 -£180 a day, which is very expensive and why i could not lodge an intent to defend the action.

 

Good luck

Is this per day or per hour? When I consulted an employment lawyer (Partner) he was 250 quid an hour!

This may not be of any use to either of you,

but have either of you looked into the possibility of receiving some form of Legal Aid.

 

Legal Aid comes in two types of assistance for civil cases,

these being advice and assistance and civil legal aid.

 

While if you are in employment it's unlikely that you'll qualify to have all the expenses of the case paid out of legal

aid you may qualify for some form of contribution towards the expenses

Thanks Rory. I suspect that most sols, even those proposing to specialise in consumer debt will be experienced in terms of bringing a case in respect of the 1974 consumer credita act and the arguments we are proposing, or am I wrong?

A lot probably aren't overly familiar with the arguments because they are not used to having to deal with them. They are used to such actions not being defended.

Should I be armed with a stack of information or just point them to a few threads on here?

 

Do the arguments or approach in Scotland differ significantly than in England. Would you be able to provide any strategic directional input if I get to the stage of appointing counsel?

Ah okay you mean defending a case rather than bringing one.

 

Your sols are certainly not going to read threads on CAG. The arguments in Scotland are really the same as in England as the statute is the same.

 

Would you be able to provide any strategic directional input if I get to the stage of appointing counsel?

I can certainly give you a few pointers. Best dealt with on your own thread though Monty.

Hi Pumpkin

 

Are you able to PM me as to who you spoke with at DM and which office you used. I took a look at their site and they don't specifically mention consumer law as a speciality. I have two firm that do in Ediburgh but would also like to see if DM are up to the job.

 

I really want to get this 100% right from the outset, I have been waiting too long for the end game to mess up.

  • 5 months later...

Just a quick update.

 

I sent the letters as suggested in Rory's posts (#55 and #62)

and i've heard nothing from the bank since. Thought it had all gone away and i could move on.

 

I also decided to complain to the FOS about the banks insistance that they had 'sisted' the case

when in actual fact they had not, and to date still have not as i felt they were deliberately misleading me in stating this.

 

Foolish mistake on my behalf as the FOS has decided to look into everything not just my complaint

(which was simply the fact that they had deliberately mislead me by insisting that the case had been sisited when it has not),

but they are asking for the missing credit agreement to be presented to them also.

I'm not usre what good this will do as i am sure the fact that i still have not been sent a copy means that it does'nt exist.

I'm just a bit worried about what FSA outcome will now be

 

What a mess i just wish i had left well enough alone :(
