    • love the extra £1000 charge for confidentialy there BF   Also OP even if they don't offer OOC it doesn't mean your claim isn't good. I had 3 against EVRi that were heard over the last 3 weeks. They sent me emails asking me to discontinue as I wouldn't win. Went infront of a judge and won all 3.    Just remember the law is on your side. The judges will be aware of this.   Where you can its important to try to point out at the hearing the specific part of the contract they breached. I found this was very helpful and the Judge made reference to it when they gave their judgements and it seemed this was pretty important as once you have identified a specific breach the matter turns straight to liability. From there its a case of pointing out the unlawfullness of their insurance and then that should be it.
    • I know dx and thanks again for yours and others help. I was 99.999% certain last payment was over six years ago if not longer.  👍
    • Paragraph 23 – "standard industry practice" – put this in bold type. They are stupid to rely on this and we might as well carry on emphasising how stupid they are. I wonder why they could even have begun to think some kind of compelling argument – "the other boys do it so I do it as well…" Same with paragraph 26   Paragraph 45 – The Defendants have so far been unable to produce any judgements at any level which disagree with the three judgements…  …court, but I would respectfully request…   Just the few amendments above – and I think it's fine. I think you should stick to the format that you are using. This has been used lots of times and has even been applauded by judges for being meticulous and clear. You aren't a professional. Nobody is expecting professional standards and although it's important that you understand exactly what you are doing – you don't really want to come over to the judge that you have done this kind of thing before. As a litigant in person you get a certain licence/leeway from judges and that is helpful to you – especially if you are facing a professional advocate. The way this is laid out is far clearer than the mess that you will get from EVRi. Quite frankly they undermine their own credibility by trying to say that they should win simply because it is "standard industry practice". It wouldn't at all surprise me if EVRi make you a last moment offer of the entire value of your claim partly to avoid judgement and also partly to avoid the embarrassment of having this kind of rubbish exposed in court. If they do happen to do that, then you should make sure that they pay everything. If they suddenly make you an out-of-court offer and this means that they are worried that they are going to lose and so you must make sure that you get every penny – interest, costs – everything you claimed. Finally, if they do make you an out-of-court offer they will try to sign you up to a confidentiality agreement. The answer to that is absolutely – No. It's not part of the claim and if they want to settle then they settle the claim as it stands and don't try add anything on. If they want confidentiality then that will cost an extra £1000. If they don't like it then they can go do the other thing. Once you have made the amendments suggested above – it should be the final version. court,. I don't think we are going to make any more changes. Your next job good to make sure that you are completely familiar with it all. That you understand the arguments. Have you made a court familiarisation visit?
    • just type no need to keep hitting quote... as has already been said, they use their own criteria. if a person is not stated as linked to you on your file then no cant hurt you. not all creditors use every CRA provider, there are only 3 main credit file providers mind, the rest are just 3rd party data sharers. if you already have revolving credit on your file there is no need to apply for anything just 'because' you need to show you can handle money. if you have bank account(s) and a mortgage which you are servicing (paying) then nothing more can improve your score, despite what these 'scam' sites claiml  its all a CON!!

    • 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.

The thing is, even though you may well be able to prove your case in court, you need enough in your POC to show the judge that you really do have a case and that it is worthwhile letting you have a hearing. I'm rather concerned that you've been given one chance to do your POC again and it still may not be robust enough. I'd hate to see you lose even more money than you have already. You're right, they don't deny there was a contract, but they are obviously denying they did anything wrong (well they would wouldn't they:rolleyes:).

 

It is difficult to say whether there has been any misrepresentation without seeing what Barclaycard stated in the first place. Can you post up a copy of the contract and terms and conditions, or at least the relevant part(s) which show how BC have failed to meet their contractual obligations.

 

Hi, Caro

 

My scanner is playing up, trying to scan and it goes all over the places ..i will scan all the letters and "T&c" later tonight have a look at it,

 

Regards to POC ammended as per court's order now it has gone to court both claimant v Barclays Bank PLC - can i send a letter for more ammended defence ? add for judge to consider before the hearing date? or do i wait till i hear from the court? for the date - and then take the court bundle ?? meanwhile should i prepare for more grounds? i.e.

 

"mistake" and which part of "mistake law" or "misrepresentation act" Barclays i think are defending on these two law, i was reading about it for last two days and find it very difficult to understand itin line with my evidence etc etc.. i need as much help as i can from you and MARTIN3030 he seems knowledgeable too.

 

Thanks again

Your Ref: M? xxxxxxx xxx xxxx

I refer to your letter dated to the 5 June.

The card has been confirmed as counterfeit by the cardholder to his card issuer.

Lloyds TSB PLC (the card issuer) have advised ourselves that the card used was counterfeit.

I am aware that questions were asked and answered during the telephone conversation with the operator. However, I would draw your attention to section 4 of the Merchant Agreement, “We may charge a card payment back to you or refuse to pay it even if it has been authorised”. “We have the right not to pay you or to charge back in the following circumstances”.

“If we receive a claim to do with card payment. This claim could be from the cardholder or from any other person” and “If you do not give us evidence that the genuine cardholder has authorised the card payment”.

From the evidence I have seen, I would conclude that the genuine cardhotder did not make the payment at your clients premises.

The thing is, even though you may well be able to prove your case in court, you need enough in your POC to show the judge that you really do have a case and that it is worthwhile letting you have a hearing. I'm rather concerned that you've been given one chance to do your POC again and it still may not be robust enough. I'd hate to see you lose even more money than you have already. You're right, they don't deny there was a contract, but they are obviously denying they did anything wrong (well they would wouldn't they:rolleyes:).

 

It is difficult to say whether there has been any misrepresentation without seeing what Barclaycard stated in the first place. Can you post up a copy of the contract and terms and conditions, or at least the relevant part(s) which show how BC have failed to meet their contractual obligations.

I believe that requests under the Data Protection Act apply to individuals and not companies, so I don't think you could get them on that one.

 

I repeat, why do you think that they are legally required to pay the money back to you?

 

I am on your side, but you need to make that clear to the court or I can imagine the case being struck out.

 

Hi, Caro

 

Posted both letters and T&C today - DOING RESEARCH on both "mistake law" and "misrepresentation Act" - I thnink Barclays got their way around on this one and that's how they do us all, i need help on this asap and guidance for next step in the court at the hearing or if i can send any draft letters to both the court and Barclays before the hearing date comes etc etc.

 

Please let me know if you know any one else familiar with this issues on here as well, all the help greatly appreciated from you and others.

Hi, Caro

 

My scanner is playing up, trying to scan and it goes all over the places ..i will scan all the letters and "T&c" later tonight have a look at it,

 

Regards to POC ammended as per court's order now it has gone to court both claimant v Barclays Bank PLC - can i send a letter for more ammended defence ? add for judge to consider before the hearing date? or do i wait till i hear from the court? for the date - and then take the court bundle ?? meanwhile should i prepare for more grounds? i.e.

 

"mistake" and which part of "mistake law" or "misrepresentation act" Barclays i think are defending on these two law, i was reading about it for last two days and find it very difficult to understand itin line with my evidence etc etc.. i need as much help as i can from you and MARTIN3030 he seems knowledgeable too.

 

Thanks again

Abstract Copy of 20 August letter (scaner is playing up)

20 August 2002

 

 

 

Dear Mr xxxxxxxxx

BARCLAYCARD

 

1234 Pavihon Drive

Northampton NN4 7SG

 

Tifiephone: 01604 234234 www.barcuycardmerchantservices.co.

 

 

By Fax & Post.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Merchant Number: xxxxxxxxxx

 

 

 

Your Ref: M? xxxxxxx xxx xxxx

 

 

 

 

I refer to your letter dated to the 5 June.

 

The card has been confirmed as counterfeit by the cardholder to his card issuer.

 

Lloyds TSB PLC (the card issuer) have advised ourselves that the card used was counterfeit.

 

I am aware that questions were asked and answered during the telephone conversation with the operator. However, I would draw your attention to section 4 of the Merchant Agreement, “We may charge a card payment back to you or refuse to pay it even if it has been authorised”. “We have the right not to pay you or to charge back in the following circumstances”.

 

“If we receive a claim to do with card payment. This claim could be from the cardholder or from any other person” and “If you do not give us evidence that the genuine cardholder has authorised the card payment”.

 

From the evidence I have seen, I would conclude that the genuine cardhotder did not make the payment at your clients premises.

 

No evidence provided from Barclays Bank Plc / this person wrote to me, does that mean "misrepresenting the bank's interest, thus the misrepresentation Act is used against the defence?

 

need guidance and help to represent once again as forgoing to the county court before hearing etc.

I'm no expert on this claim material, but would the Misrepresentation Act be of use? If if is, you could avoid the "F" word and claim the bank made Misrepresentations that lead to having a financial loss, it then doesn't matter if they made the statements fraudulently - plus this would switch the burden of proof from the OP to the Bank to prove they didn't.

 

 

That sounds good - and BC has misrepresented also the unfair terms Act 1977 s.11

 

11 The "reasonableness" test

(1) In relation to a contract term, the requirement of reasonableness for the purposes of this Part of this Act, section 3 of the Misrepresentation Act 1967 and section 3 of the Misrepresentation Act (Northern Ireland) 1967 is that the term shall have been a fair and reasonable one to be included having regard to the circumstances which were, or ought reasonably to have been, known to or in the contemplation of the parties when the contract was made.

(2) In determining for the purposes of section 6 or 7 above whether a contract term satisfies the requirement of reasonableness, regard shall be had in particular to the matters specified in Schedule 2 to this Act; but this subsection does not prevent the court or arbitrator from holding, in accordance with any rule of law, that a term which purports to exclude or restrict any relevant liability is not a term of the contract.

(3) In relation to a notice (not being a notice having contractual effect), the requirement of reasonableness under this Act is that it should be fair and reasonable to allow reliance on it, having regard to all the circumstances obtaining when the liability arose or (but for the notice) would have arisen.

(4) Where by reference to a contract term or notice a person seeks to restrict liability to a specified sum of money, and the question arises (under this or any other Act) whether the term or notice satisfies the requirement of reasonableness, regard shall be had in particular (but without prejudice to subsection (2) above in the case of contract terms) to—

(a) the resources which he could expect to be available to him for the purpose of meeting the liability should it arise; and

(b) how far it was open to him to cover himself by insurance.

(5) It is for those claiming that a contract term or notice satisfies the requirement of reasonableness to show that it does.)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

what do i do now the claim POC has gone to County Court, hoefully next round will be hearing, do i prepare this argument for the Judge to decide in the direction or any suggestion etc etc, im still not sure how bet to word it or draft it on letter to hand over to judge with other documents which i already submitted in my first POC..

I'm going to see if I can get some more knowledgeable help than I can offer. I may be wrong, but as far as I can see you are taking a huge risk taking this to court, although the T&C's aren't clear on your posts. You've already been given one opportunity to amend your POC, and I don't know where you stand about amending them again.

 

Clause 4 of the T&Cs seems quite clear, and I don't see where any misrepresentation comes in to this.

Personally, I would be discontinuing before I risked incurring the Banks costs any further.

 

This seems like a very dodgy claim, to me, and I doubt it's reasonable success in Court, not even taking in to account the Banks possibility of successfully defending it.

Thank you

 

I appreciate the Bank's defence and being sucessful at it, as a litigant in person and individual who were deprived of the money in the first instance they have not provided any evidence, therefore i am looking at the justifying their decesion in the eyes of the law, therefore i thought i take this further and trying to get the argument in nuber of their defence.

 

still learning this, perhapse i might see light at the other side of the tunnel at the end ..

That won't work in a Court claim, sorry about that.

 

It's up to you, as a Claimant, to prove that you have a claim to bring on the balance of probabilities. It is then up to the Defendant to disprove your claim, in defence, on the balance of probabilities. The Judge will then make a decision, based on some historically binding authorities, the way he feels on the day, and some other mumbo-jumbo that us mere mortals will never understand. Case closed. (Subject to the right of appeal, of course...)

 

I can see that you feel badly done to. What I can't see is how you can legally claim in this way against the Bank, which is why I think you should discontinue.

 

One opportunity would be to amend your POC, but you've already done that and doing it again would probably require leave to do so. I don't think it's in the interests of justice to continue.

The thing is, even though you may well be able to prove your case in court, you need enough in your POC to show the judge that you really do have a case and that it is worthwhile letting you have a hearing. I'm rather concerned that you've been given one chance to do your POC again and it still may not be robust enough. I'd hate to see you lose even more money than you have already. You're right, they don't deny there was a contract, but they are obviously denying they did anything wrong (well they would wouldn't they:rolleyes:).

 

It is difficult to say whether there has been any misrepresentation without seeing what Barclaycard stated in the first place. Can you post up a copy of the contract and terms and conditions, or at least the relevant part(s) which show how BC have failed to meet their contractual obligations.

 

Thank you, Caro for sharing this with me

 

POC

 

As it happens i cooperated with barclays from beginning and at the end they gave up

 

As you can see from the two letter i posted from BC. how can they only and are allowed to keep the evidence and not forward it to me?? does this make any sence? surely they are defending by using their terms and conditions as clause and breaches, as a representee of their customer i did nothing wrong and only their word is so far i have to convince the court that there is substantial evidence missing from the banks in order to keep the money which belongs to me therefore it is a theft as far as i am concerned, due to it is business related claim i am finding it hard to get this argument and point to the court, therefore i done the POC as first approach and when the hearing date comes i wll take all the bundle together with this last legal issue for Judge to decide on the facts.

 

Limitation Act 1980 (They used 1985 - any idea as to why??)

mistake

misrepresentations

and failing to cocoperate before CPS approach

 

POC is gone to court on 26 november 2008, can i send anymore documents to court? and the defendent? or do i now just wait till the hearing date?

 

Thanks again

I would get, either, some legal advice or some help from the CAG site team in confidence before discontinuing, though. If you do this right, it won't cost you anything. Do it wrong, and you'll be open to a claim of costs against you.

 

 

Thnsks

Chris

 

I just need some legal issues / legal wordings to bring to the Judge at the hearing and open the case under Limitation Act 1980 Barclays says Lloyd's card issuer is / or has confirmed to them that it is a counterfeit card, having mentioned in their letters as PROOF they have between the tow BANKS (BIG BROTHERS!!), they have never send me confirmation as evidence i.e DISCLAIMER letter from genuine customer as PROOF to convince me or make me believe that hte card was used was fradulant.. This is what i have to show at the court LEGALLY and prove my innocents that i have sufferd a financial loss duy BC has manipulated all thier "T&C" DEFENCE ETC ETC....

 

See what you can do to help me out on this issues /any other suggestion to turn the case in my favour when i go to court and hoppe for the best...

 

Thanks again

The problem is, that you may not get as far as court. It's the POC that the judge will look at. If the POC don't make it clear to the judge (and to my untrained eye they don't) why you believe that the bank have failed to meet their legal obligations, the judge will not spend time and money on a hearing and may simply strike the claim out. I can't imagine that you will be given another opportunity to amend them.

 

I can see how you can fight the limitations issue, having correspondence that's under 6 years old, but what I can't see is how BC have broken the law. The person who has stolen from you is the person who fraudulently used the card as far as I can see.

 

What you also need to take on board, is that you may have to pay Barclaycard's costs if the judge decided that you should. It may be in your best interests to negotiate with BC that you will withdraw your claim, if they agree not to claim costs.

 

I will continue to try and get more knowledgable advice for you, because my knowledge of the law, like most people on the site is very limited. I think the fact that solicitors would not take your case should be an indicator that they don't think you'd win.

 

I hate having to say this, because as you say, you are the innocent victim and it is very unfair that you have suffered this loss. I assume you have not been able to claim it on insurance.

Thank you, Caro for you input and you great effort in these issues.

 

one question - i sent some documents / correspondents with the first POC will these count in this ammended POC??

 

As regards to Lloyd's confirming to BC that the card used was a ciunterfeit, this is the only proof they need to show to the Judge 9not provided me after their investigation, but a letter as posted here) that they have not misrepresentated / breached their legal obligation / terms under "T&C 4." "CHARE BACK". (Limitation Act 1980 s.32 (1) (b) any fact relavant to the plaintiff's right of action has been deliberately concealed from the defendant; or © the action is for refief from the consequences of mistake. This is the only defence i have / argument for this case and that i need to point out at the hearing if there will be any?

 

do you think there will be a one more chance for me to explain this to the Court. ??

Or can i still send both to court and defendent, please advice legal conditions on the two point.

 

Thanks again

no insurance to claim, because they would want evidence i.e disclaimer letter and investigation report from LLOYDS & BS - Not provided me any copy of it and thats why i want to defend the case and claim this money,

 

Thanks again
