    • Speaking of the reformatory boys, here they are with all of their supporters, some of whom traveled with them from miles away, all carefully crammed together and photographed to look like there were more than about 80 .. rather like Farages last rally with even fewer people crammed around what looked like an ice cream van or mobile tea bar ... Although a number in the crowd apparently thought they were at a vintage car rally as they appeared to be chanting 'crank-her'. A vintage Bentley must be out of view.   Is this all there is? Its less than the Tory candidate. - shut up and smile while they get a camera angle that looks better

    • Now that is an interesting article which adds afew perspective that I hadn't thought significant - but on reflection of the perspectives offered ... Now Starmer is no Blair, however 'blairite he may be perceived, but the Tories aren't tories and aren't even remotely liberal   The fast 'unannounced and unexpected election call from sunack may well be explained by the opinion linked that he hoped reform would be unprepared and effectively call a chunk of Farages largely empty bluster - making him look even more of a prat, leave scope for attacks on shabby reform candidates and mimimise core vote losses to reform - while throwing the 'middle ground' (relative) tories TO THE DOGS - and with the added bonus of likely pacifying his missu' desire to jogg off to sunny cal tout suite somewhat   thumb in the air - I expect about 140ish tory seats, but can hope for under a hundred Reform - got to admit the outside possibility of 1, maybe 2 seats with about 8% of the vote - but unlikely. I think projections of over 10% of the vote for reform is nudged and paid for speculation - but possible with the expected massive drives from Russian, Chinese and far right social media bot and troll prods targeting the gullible.
    • Commentary June 2024 WWW.ELECTORALCALCULUS.CO.UK Interesting article about just how bad it could be for the Tories.  Also Tories could be hoping on Reform not having candidates in many seats, as they were not ready.  
    • Even a Piers Morgan is an improvement and a gutless Farage Piers Morgan calls for second Brexit referendum WWW.THELONDONECONOMIC.COM Piers Morgan and Nigel Farage have faced off over Brexit and a second referendum in a heated reunion on BBC Question Time.   “Why don’t we have another referendum about Brexit?” he questioned. “I seem to remember when 2016 came around we were told there was going to be control of our borders and it was going to be economically beneficial to this country. And eight years later we have lost complete control of our borders… and economically it seems to have been a wilful act of self-harm.”   ... Piers missed off : after all somebody said a 48/52 decision would be "unfinished business" by a long way - was that person just bul lying (again)

    • 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.

Great news, Martynh99 - but it looks like you didn't compound the interest. Never mind - you got what you claimed, though !!

I've just had my claim returned by the Court unissued, explaining that I must use the precise wording in the leaflet "How to Make a Claim." THAT wording is for claiming Statutory interest, whereas I claimed CONTRACTUAL interest compounded at Unauthorised rate ! I used Mindzai's template of Particulars for claiming lower rates in the alternative. Am I wrong or is the Court Clerk wrong ?

I'm fuming - I know that !!!

Hi Bill,

 

I have no idea why they've done that to you. We haven't had anything back saying that we used the wrong wording - and our claims have now been acknowledged by the solicitors. Maybe they didn't realise you were claiming a different interest rate and have just assumed you've done it wrong. I'd get in touch and explain the situation - hopefully they've just misunderstood what you've put in.

 

Good luck. Lucid :)

Thanks Lucid - I'll try the polite questioning, first, then. Can you tell me (this is another question that I've dug up) - did you still claim a Specific Amount, even though there were two Alternative amounts ?

My thinking is that the Primary amount claimed is the Specific Amount, and any change to that is made by the Court if the Primary Amount is then contested.

Hi Bill,

 

Yes we claimed a specific amount which was the total amount with interest at the unauthorised borrowing rate. As you know from using the Particulars we detailed the other two interest amounts there. We haven't heard anything yet to say that we did it wrong so hopefully it's fine.

OK., great - I'll go from there, and be polite but firm to the Court Clerk. Cheers.

 

I suggest that what's important is that you are not asking a judge to make a judgement about how much the financial compenation should be.

 

You're asking him to make a judgement about which argument is legally correct.

 

The difference is, in the first case, the judge still has to make a decision, even if the claim is uncontested; but in the second case, the judge does not need to make a decison - you simply get what you asked for in the first place, and your alternatives are ignored.

Actually, Tim - what's important to me at the moment is that the wretched Court Clerk ISSUES THE DAMN CLAIM !!! (do forgive me - I said I was fuming.)

So far, the (prospective) Defendants are blissfully ignorant of all this, and I want MY Claim to be under THEIR noses. I'm not actually asking a Judge anything at this stage...and if this damned obstructive Clerk gets her way, I'll never get to !!!

You're right, though - if it does finally get to be heard, the judgement is all about which of the Alternatives is to be awarded. It's basically a multiple-choice option for the Judge - the amounts are already punched in.

 

What I definitely DON'T want to hear is:- "Bill-k, you had £32K.................................................You've just LOST £31K !!!!

or - even worse - ".....But we don't want to give you that !!!"

 

Just issue the Claim, woman. Let the dog see the rabbit - let the Defendants have a look at the question (like...er..."Ask the Audience ? !!!")

 

...that's my feeling on it, anyway.

I dont see how she can possibly be correct. Surely if the details of your claim differ (as they do in this case) then you CANT use the suggested wording. We certainly had no problems getting our filed, they were served on the bank so I can only assume they were acceptable.

 

btw what I posted wasnt intended as a template, its just what I used. Feel free to use it if you like but I just want to make clear i'm not *suggesting* people use it.

The only interest figure quoted on my last MBNA statement is a monthly rate of 1.8735% - so (apologies but I know naff all about rates!) I presume 1.8735 x 12 = 22.482% annual rate?

No, it's 24.44% annual rate. And I think they should quote this APR on the statement somewhere.

 

Annual percentage rate = ((1 + (MPR/100)) ^ 12) - 1) * 100

Re filing the claim

 

The clerk is wrong, if she was right you could never claim contractual interest.

 

Sec 69 interest is only there for disputes where there is no contract which includes interest rates.

 

I had the same discussion with a clerk as my local cc, they have accepted and issued the claim.

Thanks Glenn & Mindzai - I anticipated your encouraging replies, and returned the papers with a polite but firm letter explaining all and suggesting a "misunderstanding." This was a Midlands Court, so I guess they're inundated !!!

 

Mindzai - sorry to imply your Particulars were posted as a template. I have treated them as such, but I am aware that to do so is to accept responsibility myself for using them. Vamps recently asked where you had posted them, so I told her - hope that's OK. If Vamps wanted a look, then I guess that means - RESPECT !!!

 

You & Lucid have mine, too.

 

Bill.

How much was it, and how far back ??

 

That Contractual Unauthorised Compound Rate sure is strong stuff, innit ?

 

Can I be of any further help ?

 

Are you sure ??

Ecobabe - first of all check your dates are in the correct format. Excel is pretty forgiving in this respect but there are certain things that’ll annoy it – for example make sure you haven’t used full stops (e.g. 13.5.2006) because it doesn’t like that. To be safe make sure you’ve entered them like: 13/5/2006. If that isn’t the problem, let me know and ill give you my email and take a look for you if you like - that will be quicker and easier than trying to track it down over the forum.

It would be 0.295 or 29.5 and hit the %.

if we're talking about the excel one i did you can just type 29.5 with or without a % sign - 0.295 wont work, it'll read that as 0.295%.

 

Glad you got it sorted echobabe - im sure i would have stared blankly at that for hours before i noticed!
