    • 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
    • In anticipation of lodging my court claim next Weds 1 May (14 days after advising P2G that was my deadline for them to settle my claim) I have completed my first draft POC as below: Claim Claim number: xxxxx Reference: P2G MAY 2024   Claimant xxxxx   Defendant Parcel2Go 1A Parklands Lostock Bolton BL6 4SD  Particulars of Claim The defendant has failed to arrange for the safe delivery of the claimant's parcel containing a 8 secondhand golf clubs (valued at £265) that was sent to a UK address using their delivery service (P2G Reference xxxxx). The defendant contracted Evri to deliver the parcel (Evri Reference xxxxx) and refuses to reimburse the claimant on the grounds that the claimant did not purchase their secondary insurance contract. The defendant seeks to exclude their liability in breach of section 57 Consumer Rights Act. The secondary insurance contract is in breach of section 72. The claimant seeks reimbursement of £265, plus P2G fees of £9.10, plus postage costs for two first class letters to P2G of £2.70, plus court fees, plus interest. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from xxxxx to xxxxxx on £276.80 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £xxxx   Details of claim Amount claimed £276.80 I look forward to your thoughts and comments guys! As ever, many thanks - G59    
    • Hmm, that's strange how they got my email then.  I assume the below is ok to send to DCBL, Nicky?  Hello, I am writing regarding our ongoing dispute and the upcoming court claim reference xxxxxxxx. To ensure fairness and transparency in our communications leading up to the court hearing, I request that you use postal mail exclusively for all further correspondence related to this claim. Please refrain from sending any communication or documents via email. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions or need clarification, please feel free to contact me via postal mail at the address provided above. Yours sincerely, xxxx
    • In the SAR, I received the original application, lots of computer print outs, yearly statements from 2013 and the new emails regarding my complaint. They sent me a £50 cheque after I chased them for the SAR after the 30 days. They said they was waiting for me to respond to an email (which I never received) before sending the SAR
    • classic P2G. I'm sure dianne and Lesley will pop an email to you at some point.

    • 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.

Ok think I need a bit of help here. This is going to be a lengthy one but ill try to condense as much as i can.

 

My daughter had a agreement with National Westminster Bank to pay £1.00 per month for her loan , credit card and overdraft. All have been up to date untill 1st of May on the loan and overdraft and when I called on the 1st of June I was informed by them that they will not accept the money anymore and a letter is in the the post. I didnt recived anything at all and called on 2 subequent occasions stating this and my concern about the missed payments. I then called again on 1st of July and was told that the accounts has been passed to Shakespear Putsman as no payment was recived ??? I explained what had happened and offered to pay them there and then and they again refused and said I had to deal with the debt collector.

 

I then called Shakespear and they said i needed a letter of authority to speak on the account which i sent.

 

This morning I my daughter recived a claim form from Shakespear Putsman saying they are taking her to court for the two accounts issues by Birmingham Crown Court, this all within 3 weeks of speaking to them.

 

My daughter is under the doctor for depression, we have letters for the creditiors. She has 5 part time jobs just to make ends meet.

 

All of the debt incurred was under duress whilst she was with a very violent man that eventually was given a 2 year suspended prison sentance for trying to strangle her, we can obtain police records if need be. PLUS this actual loan was taken out whilst he was with her at the bank as he at the time demanded a new car and threatened her if she didnt get the money.

 

Please help, im completely out of my depth here.

 

I have 14 days to submit the claim, the post make is 24th July 2009.

Firstly, I think you need to chill out a little. ;)

 

It is quite disturbing to receive one of these claims, I know, (I've been there, done that) but honestly, approaching it with a relaxed viewpoint will make things much clearer to you.

 

There are some links in my signature that will help you out - particularly the intro to consumer credit litigation, which applies to your case here.

 

Now you're all relaxed... ;)

 

Can you grab the papers from the Court - we'd need to know who the claimant is and if you can type you the particulars of claim (POC) so we can see exactly what it is they have brought the claim for, would be a good start.

 

If they haven't sent you a letter before taking court action, they haven't complied with the Courts process of taking pre-action protocols - they should have warned you that they were going to take Court action, so this could have been avoided. They will be in the doo-doo if they haven't.

 

As for the claim, generally, the onus and burden of proof is on the creditor. Regardless of what you think your obligations are, if they are unable to demonstrate that you have legal obligations to repay this debt, they are unlikely to win. There are various things you'll need to do, but we'll guide you through it as it will be quite daunting slamming you with it all before you've got your head around it. "Slowly, slowly, catchee monkey", in this case ;) There's some CPR requests, a CCA request and a DPA SAR, but again, one step at a time with this one.

 

On the emotional front, I'm sorry to hear what has happened to your daughter. Unfortunately for her, the Bank won't care about any of that - and, to an extent at least, neither will the Court. It's harsh, but what we need to do here is fight fire with fire. We'll be just as harsh with them as they have been with you/your daughter, which will give you an upper hand.

 

I realise the natural reaction to this situation is to panic, but, you'll need to be strong for your daughter to get her through this. It's a rocky road, you're going to have to learn things that you didn't think was possible for you to take in, but you can rest assured that you're in good company here. CAG has seen many cases similar to yours in the past and we know how to handle these types of cases, to get the best result for you. If you don't believe that, have a read through some of the success forums - you'll soon get more positive.

 

Chin up :D

hi akania

 

how goes it, long time no see:)

 

Once you pst up the poc we can see where we are at, you already have postggj and car2403 on the case so advice will be forthcoming, I will keep popping in to keep your spirits up.

 

but the most important thingto do is to acknowledge the claim at mcol and put in that you are going to defend the entire claim, this will give us some breathing space

Also just a quick note before i go to bed, how is it that Natwest card extended the £1.00 payment for another 6 months and the loan and current account havent and have been so agressive? Is it because the loan is £5.500 and the current account £1,500 (even though there are some serious charges on there and the claim is for £8.500, and the credit card is for £1,500? Just a bit confused there as they are the same bank.

:confused:

even if with the same bank they cant lump them together

 

I assume you rgistered the charge reclaim with the bank re the current account, if yes then this is in dispute

 

I also assume you have cca for the cc agreement, and did you get one back?

 

I also assume you cca for the loan agreement and did you get one back

Ok I have a cca for the loan. I havent claimed back the charges on the current account, can i do this now because theres at least £600.00 worth as far as i can see. Even though they have set out in the POC the sums seperatley they have lumped them together on the amount claimed. Plus they are claiming £225.00 court fee and £100.00 solicitors fee.

 

Just gonna eat my boiled eggy and ill put up POC. :)

Ok here goes

 

The actual claim form says in the Birmingham County Court!!!

 

Clamiant is Natwest Bank PLC

 

breif details of claim : repayment of monies due in respect of the Defendant's accounts with the Claimanat.

 

Value: xxxx (didnt know wether i should put that here or not)

 

Amount claimed xxx

Court fee 225.00

Solicitors fee £100.00

Total Amount xxx

 

 

Then on the back the Particulars of the Claim xxxx

 

(the have sent 2 seperate A4 peices of white paper)

 

Particulars of Claim

 

1. The Claimant claims against the Defendant repayment of the Defendant's account numbers xxxxxxxx, and xxxxxxxx together with charges.

 

2. The Accounts are regulated accounts are under the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

 

3. The claimant has complied with Parts 111 and V1 of the Pre Action Conduct Practice Direction.

 

4. The Claimant has served on the defendant Notice under the Consumer Credit Act 1974

 

5. The Claimant now claims repayment of the amount owing in respect of the Accounts

 

Particulars

 

To principal sum due in respect of Account numbers:

 

Account number xxxxxx XXXXXX

Account number xxxxxx XXXXXX

 

AND THE CLAIMANT CLAIMS

 

1, The sum of £ xxxxxx

 

Then theres a statement of truth not sure if you needed me to put this bit down as it seems quite universal.

 

 

Post mark on envelope ated 24/7/09.

 

I have recived no letters from Natwest telling me that they were going to pass these accounts to Shakespear or any further correspondance from Triton telling me they no longer accept the payments. They just told me over the phone it had been passed to Shakespear and gave me a telephone number. I called Shakespear and they said they couldnt discuss the account with me as I needed to send it a letter of authority. I did this and then I recived the court papers. I offered to still pay Natwest and they told me no as I had missed a payment. I explained that I have tried to pay but they wouldnt accept it. It seems to me that they just wanted shot of these accounts.

Actually on re looking through all the paperwork I have no cca for the loan, no termination notice for the current account, and even though this is not applicable i guess, the credit card agreement has a little box on the top saying ;Credit Card agreement in Principal and Credit agreement' plus they have only sent me page 5,6 and 7.

Just been looking at some law cases on the net regarding Duress (my daughters partner threatened her with voilence if she didnt get the loan and give him other monies)

 

Morgan v Fry [1968] 2 QB 710.

Lord Denning MR defined the tort of intimidation as follows:

"The essential ingredients are these: there must be a threat by one person to use unlawful means (such as violence or a tort or a breach of contract) so as to compel another to obey his wishes and the person so threatened must comply with the demand rather than risk the threat being carried into execution. In such circumstances the person damnified by the compliance can sue for intimidation."

 

 

 

Universe Tankships v ITWF [1982] 2 All ER 67

Lord Scarman said that : 'duress, if proved, not only renders voidable a transaction into which a person has entered under its compulsion but is actionable as a tort, if it causes damage or loss'.

 

 

I just wondered if this would also be a good defence, or would it bring her ex partner into play? Obviously this cannot happen as she is terrified of him.

Personally, I think the duress issues should come secondary to all the other issues of enforceability of the debt, whether it was default and terminated correctly and whether their are unfair charges applied to the accounts. If I were you, I'd focus on those issues, first, and have duress as a fall back position - the reason I believe that is that seeing (and knowing what we know about NW!) these debts probably aren't enforceable, meaning you aren't legally obliged to repay the debts.

 

To establish all this, though, there's a few things you'll need to do;

 

Send a Consumer Credit Act 1974 request to the Bank - see here, template letter N; (this should go to NatWest)

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general-debt-issues/20758-creditors-dcas-letter-templates.html

 

Send a Civil Procedure Rules request for more information; (this should go to the Solicitor - see the claim form for the address for service of documents)

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/legal-issues/159445-getting-them-reveal-their.html

DCA: Using CPR 31.14 to Your Advantage - Consumer Wiki

 

Send a DPA SAR to the Data Controller of NatWest;

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-collection-industry/190251-subject-access-request-template.html

 

Without this information, you can't defend the claim. Can you say what date the claim was issued, when it is deemed served, and when you have to submit a defence, by? All this will be on the paperwork from the Court.

Ok thank you.

 

Issue date 24/07/09

 

Deemed served date of service is the second business day after posting so i guess sat being the 24th it would be the 27th july. If i admit the claim i have to respond and pay within 14 days of service. If i am disputing the claim it says the claim maybe transferred to my local court and if i need longer than 14 days to prepare my defense i need to complete the acknowlegement service form and send it to the court within 14 days. That allows me 28 days from date of service to file my defense of contest the courts juristiction.

 

So maybe i cant acknowledge online?

 

Hope that all makes sense :)

is your daughter co signatory to the loan? or is it soley in her name,

 

section 141(5) CCA 1974 requires that where a loan is joint, then both parties shall be joined in litigation

Just daughter even though he was with her at the time 'making' sure she got the loan.

 

He was even convicted by the police for stealing her purse, cashpoint card and taking money from her account.

 

Thanks for the address

Ok, usually you're given 5 days for service, so this isn't a MoneyClaimOnline Claim, it's a Production Centre claim.

 

What you'll need to do is complete the Acknowledgment of Service Form, in the response pack that is provided with the Court papers, and return it stating that you intend to defend the whole of the claim.

 

You need to get those letters off, ASAP, as well, as you may get something back from them prior to having to submit your defence - if you don't there are plenty of holding defences you can submit, but you must come back to the thread if you a) get any replies, or b) it gets to a few days within the date that you need to enter your defence by.
