    • 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
    • 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.

    • 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.

Just had a look on their site, look all brand spanking new don't they.

 

The PPI reclaim sort of appealed (momentarily) 10 squid and an 80% return, will await some reports on them me thinks......almost worth the effort on the smaller 500 quid reclaims - 110 quid all in to cover all of those pain in the butt letters and postage.

Selecting a CMC to handle a complex claim based solely on the initial audit fee could prove to be a false economy. Make absolutley certain your chosen CMC is able to appoint a decent firm of solicitors to litigate the claim, be sure to ask for details of their firm/panel. Importantly, make sure ATE is available should they identify breaches in your credit agreement. Ask if they have issued on any claim yet.

Regards these claim companies,CartelClientReview claim to use CCLS - Consumer Credit Litigation Solicitors,and apparently they win most cases i.e. FirstPlus,HSBC and others.....Does anyone have any news regards this company,you can also check Cartels website to see this for yourselves.

 

Please post any findings...:confused: KILL LILL

If you think about it - everyone wins most cases.

 

Its just the cost that varies.

 

Hi Pedross

 

Guess my thoughts are where to draw the line and where to focus ones efforts. Has to be a personal choice for everyone.

 

Looking at this recent one I have a couple of cc's which are enforceable but with 6-800 squid of PPI to recover. Very little in the big scheme of things.

 

On the other hand I have capquest and Crapwest threatening SD's for over 60k in total which I guess I should be spending more time on...... given the costs and percentage they draw for handling claims I think (although waiting to see some reviews) they may be an option for the lower end of the reclaim market.

 

Not so sure I'd trust anyone but me or a trained barrister employed by me for sorting the bigger issues.

Hi Gez

 

You have answered your own point. The PPI claims are minor in the scheme of things and will still be there when you have dealt with the bigger issues.

 

The first thing you need to do is put capquest in their place and get rid of the SD situation. Sort out the £60k first. The most important ones to focus on are the ones you have the least defence for. If you take your eye off the ball it will hit you in the face.

Cheers Pedross

 

Always good to have a second opinion that echoes my own.

 

As for capquest, now at day 34 of ignoring the twits........awaiting the SD so I can earn myself at least an extra 500 squid on the set aside.

 

Wonder what the record is for avoiding them? ......lol

 

Crapwest, not sure which way to go with them. Have a letter from Alan Dickinson advising that I was not suitable for remortgaging with O/D and loan due to O/D default........O/D default is made up of bounced d/d fees on a loan with them and various management fees for same now totalling 2k. Loan agreement with them is a 2007 (August ....bah, humbug) application refering to precontract terms regarding servicing of repayments via current account.

 

May end up paying a couple of k for a barrister to defend this one, must be a claim for restitutional interest somewhere in there

If so go for it if not try and do a deal.

 

Trying, believe me they are(EDIT) trying :D

 

Think I'll be saving my pennies for a barrister for this one, don't want to give them too much ammo before it reaches court, sticking with the gently, gently approach for now - suffice to say that the loan application they hold is not the one I signed, the 'loan' terms they rely on are described in a 4 fold glossy and .....the original bank copy of the application is held by me (still unsigned).

 

Will eventually start a thread for this one but at the mo its sort of spread around the forum in dribs and drabs picking up some pointers wherever I can.

I have 9 cases with ratio money, originally taken on by the claims warehouse who sent it onto ratio money. I always have to contact them, never the other way around. Its been over a year now and nothing is moving. In many cases the ccc's have NOT provided a true copy of my agreements so therefore unenforceable, yet they are still writing to them asking them for this when they are obvioulsy in breach. I am thinking about going direct to a solicitor to take these on for me as Ratio and claims warehouse have done nothing in my eyes other than take over £1000 from me.

My record is better - I think - Ratio Money they have obtained solicitors opinions on my two credit card agreements and I have the reports (have you?) - both appear to be not conforming to CCA requirements but I now have to wait for a solicitor to contact me .................................

Yeah, they have all been audited and i have 2 that i have got an acknowledgment of service for, so i sent them back and a defense has been filed. But the others are pending litigation HOWEVER, one solicitor said the audit isnt worth the paper its written on as it was done with documents missing. Another case was sent by ratio to a random solicitor who isnt dealing with the case so he sent the stuff back, ( breach of data protection). The claims warehouse have asked me to sign a NEW form of authority as they arent happy with Ratio money, but i have been told that if i do this i will be liable for all previous solicitors costs etc so i am unsure of signing this. My cases are paast audit so i dont see the point.! CONFUSED or what!

MMW you need to take a look at this thread on another forum

 

Ratio Money-Wipe out credit card balances [problem]

 

who told you that if you sign a new form of authority you will be liable for solicitors costs?

The fact is that if you have signed a conditional fee agreement with a solicitor then unless you can get him to agree to cancel it then you may be liable for costs.

But if that solicitor has failed to deal with your case then there is no reason why they should not release you from the CFA at no cost.

The initial fee you paid was to have the agreement audited and you have had that done so you have no liability to Ratio Money.

The fact is that Ratio Money used introducers such as The Claims Warehouse and others to find claims for them however as documented here the service from Ratio and their appointed solicitors led many of these introducers to cease introducing claims to Ratio and thats why The Claims Warehouse want you to sign the new forms of authority.

If you have already entered into a CFA with a Ratio appointed solicitor then unless he releases you from it you are stuck with him but in cases where no CFA has been signed TCW are trying to place your case with a better more efficient solicitor.

The reason that some audits of agreements are unsatisfactory is that Ratio sent incomplete agreements for audit to the audit solicitors and when they realised this and told Ratio they said "just audit what you've got" so its not surprisisng some audits were unsatisfactory.

There is much much more going on however if I post it all on here I think it might be censored so better to go to the other forum link for the full story.

Firstly I suggest you have a good look at the info on the link I posted previously.

That may give you an idea of how things are going with Ratio.

I believe that if you stick with Ratio things will certainly be no better than they have been so far- they may be going to get a lot worse.

I know that The Claims Warehouse have reliable and competent solicitors in place to replace those appointed by Ratio as they are acting for me but as for other introducers I can not say.

If you want to pm me thats fine

A friend of mine sent a claim into Ratio early July and heard nothing till 7th October when she had a letter from them saying the lender had not complied with the section 77/78 request so they were in breach and Ratio would give them 7 days then start proceedings etc.

A few days a go she then received a letter from Ratio saying they could not progress her case as 'the account type was invalid'(sic)

Well no **** Sherlock,the account number they quoted on their correspondence was not the correct account number my friend had filled in when she completed the application forms in July.

What a complete and utter load of crap not to mention the waste of 295 quid-stay well away! :-x

Some of my Ratio claims were placed by a TCW agent. The only problems I have had have been with TCW and their shoddy service and '3 months guranteed' non-sense. My TCW agent contacted me last week wanting me to pull the plug on ratio...even though I am about six months into conditional fee agreements!! As for TCW's 'competent solicitors', are you serious? If its the same firm that was mentioned to me then I will need to re-examine my undertanding of 'competent'. Is there not enough business to go around the CMCs? Seems ike an industry riddled with life insurance churners.

Read what I wrote in post #169-if you have already signed a CFA with a Ratio appointed solicitor unless they agree to cancel the CFA you are stuck with it.If your TCW agent tells you anything else he is wrong and if he told you at any time the process would take less than 6-9 months he is wrong.By the way the 6-9 months timescale was fed to TCW by Ratio along with a lot of other erroneous information about the way this process actually works.

If you pm me and tell me who he is I will put him straight.

You mention you are 6 months into a conditional fee agreement and I would be interested to know at what stage your solicitor is with settling your case.

If you have got anywhere at all you are very lucky as I know exactly where Ratio are with hundreds of cases going back up to 18 months and the answer for them is nowhere.

Typical scenarios are:

Ratio take 6 months to obtain CFA from lender and get audit done.

They then take another 3 months to appoint a solicitor.

Solicitor signs up a CFA with the client and then it all goes quiet for 6 months at which time solicitor contacts client and says sorry I can't deal with this claim as I can't get ATE insurance.

Ratio then appoint another solicitor for the client and the whole merry go round starts again.

Crucial thing to remember is that Ratio SELL these claims to solicitors so every time they do this they make some more money.They couldn't give a crap about the client.

Quote from Ratio chief solicitor "once we have passed a claim onto a solicitor on our panel and you sign that CFA then the contract is entirely between you and the solicitor and we have no further responsibility"

Bottom line is that solicitors appointed by Ratio are crap-I have even known instances where they are saying cases with prescribed term breaches are not strong enough to represent the client where proceedings have been issued by the lender so the answer to the client is 'sorry pal you're on your own'

If you want to stick with Ratio thats up to you but of the hundreds af cases I have been involved with not one has yet had any sort of a result-none have even had proceedings issued.

There have been instances where Ratio has passed the same case on to more than one solicitor.

TCW are not perfect and the advice from the agent you mention is clearly wrong but TCW and every ratio client has been seriously misled by Ratio about the likelyhood of having a successful claim and the timescales involved.

Zoe Nicholls Ratio 'Development Director" quit a short while ago as even she as hardfaced as she is could not put up with the bull**** coming from Ratio

I have much much more information on this situation and it might be worth you having a look on here
