I then wrote to all my creditor's with pro rata offers of payments but debt collectors took over the accounts.
    • Just an update for all. I received about a letter every other week, increasing in threat levels. Then I hadn't had one for a about two weeks, then Saturday received a carbon copy of the very first letter they sent me in February. Made me laugh, rinse and repeat. 
    • So, your response was not received by the SCP as you did not send it with a valid stamp. Therefore, from my two option in post #14, the first option is the only one available to you, but you do not have the option of asking to be sentenced at the fixed penalty level as the reason the SCP did not receive your response was down to you. Here's a reminder of what to do: Respond to the SJPN by pleading “Not Guilty” to both charges. In the “Reasons for pleading Not Guilty” box state that you are willing to plead guilty to the speeding charge providing, and only providing, the “Fail to Provide Driver's Details" (FtP) charge is dropped. This is a tried and tested method to deal with your problem and is almost always successful. Before the pandemic it was necessary to attend court to do this "deal" because it needs the agreement of the police prosecutor.. During the pandemic courts made every effort to have as few  people as possible attend and they began doing this deal under the "Single Justice" procedure without the defendant's attendance. Some courts have carried this procedure on whilst others have reverted to a personal attendance being necessary. If you are required to attend, your case will be taken out of the SJ procedure and you will be given a date for a hearing in the normal Magistrates' Court. If that is the way they do it in the area involved you will have to attend, see the prosecutor and offer your "deal" in person.

    • 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.

This is my first posting. I have been through the stages written to Barclays and been offered less than half back, so have now gone down the small claims court route. Saturday was the last day then I could apply for a judgement, but I have received a letter confirming they are going to defend the claim, Is this normal for Barclays?

To be honest i wouldn't worry to much about that. This happens a lot through various banks etc. The likelihood is, it will never make it to court. Read through lots of threads. There are a few in similar situations as yourself.

  • 1 month later...

Been off the site for a while as thing between me and barclays had stopped.

Here's a quick run down.

9th March 2006 - Requested Statements

4th April 2006 - 1st letter to Barclays asking to refund charges

26th April 2006 - 2nd letter to barclays

23rd May 2006 - Barclays offered less than half as gesture of goodwill

25th May 2006 - Rejected barclays offer

June 2006 - stared small claim route via courts

21st July - Barclays defended claim after extension of 14 days

2nd August 2006 - Returned allocation Questionnaire, asking for standard disclosure to end this rapidly rather than clog up courts. Sent copy to Barclays and with a letter asking them to settle rather than go to court, but letting them know i was prepared to go all the way if need be.

 

 

Then it all went quite - I heard nothig from Barclays or the court. But today I get a letter from the court headed " General form of Judgment or Order" that reads

 

Before DISTRICT JUDGE JACEY sitting at lambeth County Court (then full address).

 

Upon the courts own initiative without a hearing.

 

IT IS ORDEREDTHAT

 

1. This matter be transferred to the London Mercantile Court (ST DUnstans House) forthwith.

 

Date 25th August 2006

 

 

What does this mean ?????

Unfortunately I have been out of the loop for a few weeks, but certainly it seems odd for a personal case to be transferred to the MC. The only thought is that the judge is trying to force the issue into a court that can set a precedent.

 

I would expect a settlement to be made, but this may delay things.

This happened to a few cases a couple of months ago. It seems that the judge wants to do it in the mercantile court so that they can settle the issue of unlawful charges once and for all. As I recall, it caused a bit of a flap at the time. My guess is that all this will achieve is that Barclays will settle pronto. The last thing in the world which they want is some sort of show trial focussing on their unlawful charges!

Thank you all your replies.

 

Its a personal case

The claim is for £1680.oo, so should be covered under small claims.

I am in London, originally it was allocated to Lambeth

 

Hopefully Barclays will now pay up, if not I will just have to go to court, if that day arrives hopefully a number of you will kindly turn up as well to give me support.

 

I'll keep you all updated

Don't worry, a few of us wouldn't miss it for the world!

 

If you have a search for "mercantile", you will find a thread referring to Elliott. These were the first ones who got transferred to Mercantile. Have a read of the thread (quite a long one, it cause a bit of a stir), hopefully, it will help put your mind at rest. ;-)

Thanks Bookworm, I have read up on the Elliot case and it seems that the Daily mail are monitoring and reporting on Bank Charges.

 

When I get a firm court date I may let them know(Daily Mail) to get some publicity for the cause, what do you think?
