    • Hi. Could you post up what they've sent please so we can see what the charge is? Cover up your name and address and their reference number. HB
    • I've looked through all our old NPE threads, and as far as we know they have never had the bottle to do court. There are no guarantees of course, but when it comes to put or shut up they definitely tend towards shut up. How about something like -   Dear Jonathan and Julie, Re: PCN no.XXXXX cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea that you actually expected me to take this tripe seriously and cough up. I'll write to you not some uninterested third party, thanks all the same, because you have are the ones trying to threaten me about this non-existent "debt". Go and look up Jopson v Homeguard Services Ltd, saddos.  Oh, while you're at it, go and look up your Subject Access Request obligations - we all know how you ballsed that up way back in January to March. Dear, dear, dear - you couldn't resist adding your £70 Unicorn Food Tax, you greedy gets.  Judges don't like these made-up charges, do they? You can either drop this foolishness now or get a hell of a hammering in court.  Both are fine with me.  Summer is coming up and I would love a holiday at your expense after claiming an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to your deafening silence.   That should show them you're not afraid of them and draw their attention to their having legal problems of their own with the SAR.  If they have any sense they'll crawl back under their stone and leave you in peace.  Over the next couple of days invest in a 2nd class stamp (all they are worth) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • 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

    • 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.

After reading a lot of posts and getting the information required I sent my DPA with £10 to the clydesdale head office on the 1st july truly expecting no end of hassle due to what I have previously read. Within one week I got a reply saying they dont have to provide proof of manual intervention under the DPA but will provide all statements required. Then on the 25th July I got all my statements, now ready to ask for my money back, (over £2000) will send this during next week, and eagerly await there reply.

Hi George

 

Well done on the court papers and good luck :)

 

I'll be following your progress since I'm so closely behind you. My LBA with the Clydesdale runs out in 2 weeks, after which I'll be filing court papers with Edinburgh sheriff court.

 

What address did you end up using?

Hi Piggy bank, filed papers today and court clerk couldnt have been more helpfull, even saying make sure they pay the 39 quid costs when they phone you! she also said date would be Nov but they will pay up before that as they have done so all the time, and are getting quicker with it now.

Could this be the crumbling of the Clydesdale bank defences at last.

 

Piggy bank------------Address as St Vincent Place, Glasgow.

New LBA was sent 03/10/06 due to contractual interest, received a reply from CB today 11/10/06 apologising as it has been 8 weeks since i complained and get this quote

" WE HOPE TO BE IN A POSITION TO ADVISE YOU OF OUR FINDINGS WITHIN THE NEXT FOUR WEEKS. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO DO SO, WE WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH AN UPDATE AT THAT TIME"

 

12 weeks and no findings, stalling me thinks, interest grows.

Anyway this time assuming i can fill in the court papers correctly they will only get the 28 days as advised. Court papers due 1st November and im looking forward to court.

Mel vs Clydesdale bank

 

My Court Hearing was yesterday. I found out on Friday that they had entered a defence. Also on Friday I had been offered a settlement £735 but as this did not include interest or costs and was to be in full and final settlement I declined. My total claim is for approx. £3910 plus interest and costs.

 

They had a solicitor in court with their defence which was much the same as the contents of the bank's letter that they send you refusing payment. The sheriff asked him to elaborate on the points made in the defence but was told that he would need more time.

 

So there is to be another hearing on 1st December.

 

We were out of court within 10 minutes. (A sleepless night for nothing).

 

I am told that the ball in now in Clydesdale's court so it's a waiting game again.

Clydesdale Bank.

I hit them with 7 small claims (on my personal account) covering different periods and they have intimated that they will defend the actions but they have asked the court to "conjoin" the actions and have further asked that the "conjoined actions" be remitted to the Ordinary Roll under rul 15(1) of the Small Claims Rules 2002.

My interpretation of this is that they want to have the hearing for the total amount covered by the small claims actions but I am unsure what they mean by asking for the action to be be transferred to the Ordinary Roll.

Rule 15(1) of the Small Claims Rules refers specifically to the transfer of a claim to another court??

Anybody any thoughts or experience of this type of defence?

Hi HRB,

 

What they are doing is taking your case out of the small claims and into the ordinary cause track due to the amount being claimed, ideally you should have done one small claim at a time in chunks of £750.00.

 

The ordinary cause leaves you open to paying expenses in the event you lose and the rules are alot more complicated. If you go here :Ordinary Cause Rules it explains it all in detail.

 

I am going through the summary cause at the moment with LTSB.

Oooh Mel, well done for taking it as far as you have - I hope you kick their backsides! I am sending off my initial data protection letter on Monday with my £10 so I will see how it goes. Quick question, do I send this to my branch or to head office?

 

Best of luck on 1 December - are you the first person to take them as far?
