    • Thank-you dx, What you have written is certainly helpful to my understanding. The only thing I would say, what I found to be most worrying and led me to start this discussion is, I believe the judge did not merely admonish the defendant in the case in question, but used that point to dismiss the case in the claimants favour. To me, and I don't have your experience or knowledge, that is somewhat troubling. Again, the caveat being that we don't know exactly what went on but I think we can infer the reason for the judgement. Thank-you for your feedback. EDIT: I guess that the case I refer to is only one case and it may never happen again and the strategy not to appeal is still the best strategy even in this event, but I really did find the outcome of that case, not only extremely annoying but also worrying. Let's hope other judges are not quite so narrow minded and don't get fixated on one particular issue as FTMDave alluded to.

    • the claimant in their WS can refer to whatever previous CC judgements they like, as we do in our WS's, but CC judgements do not set a legal precedence. however, they do often refer to judgements like Bevis, those cases do created a precedence as they were court of appeal rulings. as for if the defendant, prior to the raising of a claim, dobbed themselves in as the driver in writing during any appeal to the PPC, i don't think we've seen one case whereby the claimant referred to such in their WS.. ?? but they certainly typically include said appeal letters in their exhibits. i certainly dont think it's a good idea to 'remind' them of such at the defence stage, even if the defendant did admit such in a written appeal. i would further go as far to say, that could be even more damaging to the whole case than a judge admonishing a defendant for not appealing to the PPC in the 1st place. it sort of blows the defendant out the water before the judge reads anything else. dx

    • 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 guys, this is my first post on here, read up on mr moneysavingexpert etc and sorted a few debts off my own back but this one has got me a little worried...

 

few months back I changed from Barclays to alliance and leicester (sorry santander now), having read they were a "better bank" to be with. so after a messy long winded change over I was left with a debt to barclays of about £150 in my personal reserve, not agreed overdraft, just before i changed over completly I put in for my bank charges claim too through the martin lewis website letter templates etc and "awaiting outcome of test case", but this over draft thing is now up to £287.31 and it has been passed the "collections department". now i understand its probably my fault for not sorting it sooner but other bills/ car problems and all the other cr*p life throws at you came first.

 

Can anyone help on how to resolve this either by telling me how to completely remove this debt or atleast the charges, and I pay back the £150 over time.

Hi Darkmatter and welcome to CAG. :)

 

Have you filed a court claim yet for the return of the charges. If not, you should do so now.

 

I assume, as it's for recent stuff, you have all the necessary statements with details of charges/reserve fees and interest charged.

 

If the £150 debt that was left was made up of charges, you should reclaim the charges and all associated interest.

 

If some of the £150 was not in respect of unfair charges, you may have to repay this to B's to settle the matter.

We could do with some help from you

I take it the overdraft etc is made up of charges applied to your account?

 

Even if you have the statements you need to make a subject Access Request, as the information you are seeking includes manual intervention, charges calculated etc which is important as you progress your claim.

 

You need to not only make an initial request for the charges to be repaid, but also state that the account is in dispute - this gives you the possibility of preventing debt collection action.

 

Consider sending a Consumer Credit Act request - this can arguably apply to overdrafts etc - but again it assists you in stopping/delaying debt collection. If a DCA is assigned write to them stating that the account is in dispute. Also consider using CPR requests.

 

Of course if they have all the documents this may cause you problems - but if this is caused by bank charges then you should be able to progress to a claim which may be stayed - you may then be able to delay any DCA until the OFT case is complete.

 

Good luck ..............

Thanks for you replys guys! im going to have to look through my statements and see if it was my fault or their charges for the £150 extra usage fee, i know since that time the extra charges have been added are down to barclays but as im not in "hardship" ill have to wait for the test case in OCTOBER (I found out on GMTV today) to end, is that right? unless i go though a claims compnay which is alot of hassle for £150 no?

 

Thanks again

Hi DM,

 

Using a claims company won't speed things up at all as any claim will still be Stayed until the Test Case is over. And it'll probably cost you more than the claim itself. :eek:

 

When you discover what you need to reclaim, send off a Prelim Letter. Read about the whole process in the Reclaiming Guide at Link No1 in my signature below. :)
