      Not completely black and white. ICO says if you ask for the information to be sent in a particula way, in your case electronically, then they should send in that way "if possible". So I suggest making that request firmly. I would guess if they actually only hold paper copies they'd be with their rIght to decline to scan everything for you. Or they could transcribe just your personal information.

      Hey guys, just wanting to double check since it's been a a year since my last claims mediation, this is the best stance to have during the mediation right?: "I am willing to be flexible by not taking Evri to court to get a judgement against  them and i'm willing to settle now. but I'm not here to compromise on my rights or the amount i'm owed as I have all the rights in this claim and Evri know this, despite what they may say now. I do not wish to waste the courts time and our time, it's Evri who are being inflexible and they are just wasting evryones time if the are not just paying up now. they should just offer the full £ and we can proceed The function of mediation is not to persuade you to give up some of your rights. The function of mediation is to help you obtain what you are entitled to without having to go to court and without having to inconvenience or trouble anyone further. The benefit to the defendant is that they are saved the expense and the inconvenience of going to court." I can also bring up that 1. they no showed this court in our previous mediation call and wasted all our time, and 2. they already settled in full with me last year on an identical parcel and case so we're going down the same road?

      Regarding SARs - does the recipient provide hard or digital copies of info?  I sent out a request recently. All the info was digital and I'd like it sent digitally - for expedience -  but they want to post hard copies.  Can I demand digitally?  If it's hard then I will have to labour over scanning it all back in to my computer - which is a waste of my resources.  I had this issue recently with a lawyer - they said they had too much info to send by email. Yet miraculously found a way within 2h. (It would be useful to have hard copies too - but in terms of short-term follow up communication digital is best for me)

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

remove the above post

 

They will not be able to provehow it was sent if it wasnt recorded and I feel sure they wont have the proof of postage as you can only get that at the post office and they send out their letters in bulk.

 

You can put them to strict proof of the postage method and if they cant provide it then 2nd class is assumed

Hi folks,

 

All been a bit quiet here. Bit of advice needed now though,

 

Received a letter from the court advising receipt of my defence (id sent my defence back because MBNA's solicitors hadent complied fully with the CPR request) goes on to say the claimant will contact the court informing if he wishes to proceed or not, and that the claimant needs to contact the court within 28 days after receiving my defence. Im assuming this is a standard letter?

 

Also, my CPR requests are coming through slowly and surely, (copy of CCA and statements only so far) shall i write again saying they havent fully complied or wait? Their last letter, which was sent with a copy of my statements, (that only go back to 2004, account opened in 1999) says only ..." We look forward to receiving your defence"

 

Not too sure what my next step should be , help please.

Hiya MisterV,

 

How are u.

 

Right firstly here is another MBNA thread for you to follow im giving you this link because its a very good resourceful thread and its one that was WON today.

 

Although this is Restons Solicitors they work in the same way as Optima and also all the CPR will be the same.

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/dca-legal-successes/170484-fairbyblue-mbna-restons-court.html

 

Right now onto your questions.

 

Received a letter from the court advising receipt of my defence (id sent my defence back because MBNA's solicitors hadent complied fully with the CPR request) goes on to say the claimant will contact the court informing if he wishes to proceed or not, and that the claimant needs to contact the court within 28 days after receiving my defence. Im assuming this is a standard letter?
Yes standard Letter

 

Also, my CPR requests are coming through slowly and surely, (copy of CCA and statements only so far) shall i write again saying they havent fully complied or wait? Their last letter, which was sent with a copy of my statements, (that only go back to 2004, account opened in 1999) says only ..." We look forward to receiving your defence"

I would write a letter to Optima stating something along the lines of

 

I appreciate you are looking forward to my defence, but until you fully comply with my CPR request that will not be forthcoming.

 

Now one question id like to ask you.

 

Have you recieved a copy of the comms log yet.

 

This is something you will need a its a log of every activity on your account.

 

This should be part of every CPR request but it holds true that it is never supplied unless requested. So i would add that also in your letter.

 

Regards

 

PF

The Claimant makes a claim against you the defendent and you if in a position ie unfair charges miss sold PPI etc to off set the debt will make a counter claim.This is normaly done with your defence and known as a Part 20 claim however you can issue a counter claim anytime during proceedings via the N244 (at a cost).

Your choice, the Claimants will to appear to be amicable in the matter,also provided a little breathing space.

I usually advocate waiting to the last min to submit your AQ you may recieve a copy of the Claimants which gives good hindsight in the completion of yours.They normaly provide a copy as courtasy and as such you same,if non recieved then dont send them yours.Very useful to see if they have or intend to make any applications or what Directions they have requested.

What does a 1 month stay mean? Stopped, nothing happens.

Presumably id tick yes to the court arranging a mediation appt? Only if you want to or if you prefer to handle mediation yourself then no

 

Does anyone have any experience of how these things go/outcomes?

If mediation can be achieved then why as the Claimant issued the summons in the first place and why was mediation not agreed before litigation.If you have defended the action then their must be a dispute or problem that you are not prepared to pay,so it would follow that no you want to fight this all the way,and yet still appear to be amicable.

 

Hope that makes sense.

Andy

What exactly does 1 month stay mean? A stay in proceedings nothing happens Court wise,you and the Claimant try to reach settlement

 

Obviously if i am willing to mediate i have to allow the court to arrange an appt?

That is an option open to you .You dont have to use them you can do it yourself

The Claimant usually requests a stay with say 1 month time.Evey case is unique and only you know if you have a chance of winning or agreeing settlement.

If the Claimant has opted for settlemnt this means that they are open to mediation and also prefer not to proceed to trial( consider it as the last chance to come to an agreement)They may approach you by way of a Without Prejudice letter/or a Part 36 offer or you the same, doesnt really matter who instigates it, so thats the best advise I can give really without the use of a crystal ball.

I gather from your posts that you are not keen on proceeding to trial?

Do you feel your defence is weak?

Im relying on the CCA route like a lot of people and would prefer to avoid court as i think its too hit and miss on the day. Pompeyfaith has helped me a lot and you just have to look at his experience to see why.

 

Obviously i have a DN now against my name and i need to avoid a CCJ against me. If i lose on the day what happens then? Can you mediate then or is it a CCJ and have to continue paying the debt as normal?

 

Like you said earlier, i need to wait until the last moment and hopefully see a copy of the claimants AQ, and see what their views are.

Can you mediate then or is it a CCJ and have to continue paying the debt as normal?If you lose you get the Judgement against you but are allowed 28 days to pay in full (no CCJ)if not in a position to pay, monthly instalments agreed with CCJ and on CRA for 6 years

 

Like you said earlier, i need to wait until the last moment and hopefully see a copy of the claimants AQ, and see what their views are.

 

 

The option of settlement is always open until the Trial window if you feel you are going to lose this then you must consider your position carefully whats best for you and your family.It takes courage to defend and even more to LiP and if you ar not confident or do not consider your defence strong enough then you really need to review your postion.

 

I trust the above is of help

Would a settlement at this stage be between the claimants solicitors (Optima) and myself or MBNA and myself?

Has the debt been sold, which might mean a better chance to negotitate or is it still technically with MBNA.

I did have a settlement phone call with MBNA a few months ago where they were prepared to accept approx 40%, but only as partial and not F&F.

 

I just need to explore all options at this point.

 

Thanks everyone so far, particularly PF and andyorch.
