    • Paragraph 18 – you are still talking about Boston stolen items. About time this was fixed??? Paragraph 19  In any event, the claimant's PS5 gaming device was correctly declared and correctly valued. The defendant accepted it for carriage and was even prepared to earn extra money by selling sell insurance in case of its loss or damage. New paragraph 20 – this the defendant routinely sells insurance in respect of "no compensation" items (a secondary contract contrary to section 72 CRA 2015) new paragraph above paragraph 20 – the defendant purports to limit its liability in respect of lost or damaged items. This is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights act 2015. The defendant offers to extend their liability if their customer purchases an insurance cover for an extra sum of money. This insurance is a secondary contract calculated to exclude or limit their liability for the defendants contractual breaches and is contrary to section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015. New paragraph below paragraph 42 – the defendant merely relies on "standard industry practice" You haven't pointed to the place in your bundle of the Telegraph newspaper extract. You have to jiggle the paragraphs around. Even though I have suggested new paragraph numbers, the order I have suggested is on your existing version 5. You will have to work it out for your next version. Good luck!   Let's see version 6 Separately, would you be kind enough to send me an unredacted to me at our admin email address.
    • i think theres been MORE than amble evidence of that and am astonished that criminal proceedings haven't begun.
    • Yep, those 'requirements' not met to shareholders satisfaction seem to me to be: 1. Not being allowed to increase customer bills by 40% (of which well over 50% of the new total would NOT be investment) 2. 1 plus regulators not agreeing to letting them do 'things in their own time (ie carry on regardless)
    • As already mentioned freely available "credit scores" are fairly useless. All lenders have their own "credit scoring" system, that for obvious reasons they don't divulge. And they're "scored" differently to the freely available ones. As soon as they could, we've always encouraged our two children to use credit cards responsibly... Pay off in full, etc, to generate good history. It's paid off. At quite young ages, they have both obtained loans for cars, mortgage and their credit card limits are through the roof. Personally, I have shifted debt around a lot on credit cards (even financed a house purchase once at 0% 😉) and I've only ever been refused a credit card once, sorry twice by the same company, over many years. They must have something very different in their lending criteria. You're a tight one, Mr Branson.

    • 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.

as well as some people on here being determined to make CAG an unfriendly place where other people's opinions are not welcome, but hey ho that's another story!

 

So what is the story ? I`ve been absent for a while my self and have been hearing rumours of things not being quite right. May be you can`t say here but I`ve been reading OTR, and have found things there very interesting indeed!!!

 

Good Luck Wanna.

 

Cheers Mark

You've never been 'trolled' ? !!!! Thats a disgrace, you are a valuable member on this site. !!!!

 

hmm, it seems the solicitors are not much better than welcome lol

Any advice I give, is given with the best intention of helping. I am not legally trained, so it is probably best to just ignore me;)

Hello all, it's been quite some time since I last posted here so I thought it was time for an update, also I wouldn't mind a bit of advice!

I've got a CMC coming up shortly and I was hoping somebody could advise on what to expect. To date they replied to my amended claim by instructing Cleggs who then submitted and amended defence and counter claim. They have failed to submit their witness evidence, due 26th Nov and have replied to my 'pack' with "well we've only recently been instructed so don't really have the foggiest of what's going on and so at the CMC we'll just get directions for trial"!

 

I'm so annoyed at their blatant time wasting exercises but also a little bit smug that Cleggs are trying to drag this on and it'll be costing welcome a small fortune 8-) At the Summary Judgment hearing their rep made it clear they wanted a CMC to enable time for 'liaison and negotiation', none of which has been forthcoming in the last 4 months! Their defence, counter claim and some sort of 'template' WS from Mr P are the biggest load of nonsense that was ever written! They have denied things that I have already provided evidence, contradicted themselves, failed to adhere to the Judge's directions and now they have admitted that a commission was paid to the broker but the amount received for the sale of PPI was never more than 2%!! Irrespective of the fact that I have an underwriting sheet that shows PPI commission at 58% of the total commission, notwithstanding of course that they already denied there ever was any commission!!! :mad2:

 

Does anyone have any idea of what a Judge can do at a CMC? I know it's too late for me to apply for a strike out but could it be possible that a judge might agree that would be the best option to manage the case if I decide to make certain subtle hints??

 

All opinions gratefully received :madgrin:

Hi wannabedebtfreesoon!

 

I have spent all day reading all 75 pages of your thread!

It has given me so much food for thought. My partners car was repo'd on Tuesday under similar circumstances as you- without a default notice and off private property.

I am currently writing the Letter Before Action and thought yours was excellent.

 

 

I was wondering whether, in hindsight, there would be anything that you would omit or add to yours?

 

Was there any other source, apart from CAG that you found particulally useful and do you know of any past judgements which may be helpful to use?

 

Do you have any further news on your claim?

 

 

Im so inspired by your determination to go all guns blazing against a big company. Hope you dont mind me picking ur brains :-)

Thanks Kx

Hello and welcome to CAG! Thank you for your kind words I really needed that today :!:

 

I am actually in court with them today for a Case Management Conference so will know more about what's what later this afternoon.

 

When it comes to doing things differently yes I would do a lot differently! I was lucky in that I got the opportunity to amend my claim so could go back and do things differently.

I really could go on for a lifetime about the ins and outs of a case like this because it is phenomenally complicated and the issues are endless! The bonus is that, today being a year to the day that they unlawfully removed my precious car, I have been through the mill with every eventuality that could possibly have presented itself and am more than happy to spread the word to anybody that might find it useful :-)

 

The one thing I would say to anybody considering taking on a case like this is to be prepared for a very long drawn out and draining journey, this has taken over my life for a lot for months and I've only recently been able to regain a bit of life! I suppose it depends largely on the creditor, unfortunately welcome have been overrun with arrogance and stupidity and now we are in a situation that has escalated out of all proportion and is very dangerous for them. They picked on the wrong person with this because the money means nothing to me I'm out for justice, so they are going to struggle if they think they can bung me a few quid on the court steps and I'll quietly go away!

The majority of 'normal' creditors will not want this to go to trial because a judgment against them would result in unimaginable losses when other people come forward having had the same situation but were unaware of their rights and it would also prevent them from preying on the naivety on the 'average' consumer and continuing this unlawful practice!

 

I have to go get myself ready for court now but if you start your own thread with as many details as you can I would be more than happy to help in any way I can.

 

Thanks for reading and many thanks for your support, it is greatly appreciated! :lol:

I sincerely hope that a wrong will be righted through the courts and that you come out smiling and on top of the world!

Thanks Surfer, it's not over yet- the matter has been listed for trial as expected. I must admit that I am quite smiley! The waiting room debacle was more entertaining than the actual courtroom issues :wink: it appears they are suggesting that the amount paid on the agreement is still somehow relevant in this situation, (the third rule), when I pointed out that it was irrelevant he mumbled that he would have to look into it and then promptly stormed off lol!

 

Roll on trial, they are not getting out of this now, I won't rest until I have a bona fide judgment against the ********s!!!

Hi Wannabe :)

 

I'm glad your still pursuing this, not that you'd ever give up :) just thought id bang in some more moral support and that I'd like a mention in the forth coming book after this saga is over. lol

 

Wish all the best with the trial, I know you'll keep us updated.

Thank you, all moral support is received with thanks!! :wink:

 

I must admit I do have moments where I wish it was all over but they are very fleeting and then I remember why I started this in the first place and I know I will never give up. I have the most amazing book on my side and the more I read of it the more confident I become, the only decision I have to make is whether to employ a barrister for the trial or continue it alone... all opinions gratefully received :wink:

Guest repo threat

Hi Wannabe

 

you don't need a barrister for an appeal to a county court judgement. I represented myself against Bank of Ireland and like you had to put up with a "bull in a china shop". In my case, i joined the local univeristy law library and spent 3 days solid studying the law of contract, consumer credit law etc. there were highs when i stumbled upon a case that supported my view and low's when i found a subsequent case that overturned the previous one. but heh.

 

wehn it came to the appeal, my opposing barrister, cocky sod presented me with his bill. i wasnt happy

So to date all the witness statements, disclosure, case summaries, schedules of issues etc have been submitted, the only remaining issue is waiting for a date for trial, which I'm sure won't be too long.

I've taken the decision now to enlist the help of a barrister for support on the actual day. I know my case is rock solid and theirs is fatally flawed, but I just can't shake the feeling that I need to put an end to this case with the same disproportionate intimidation that they have used against myself and many others, the only difference now is that the tables have turned and it's no less than they deserve.

I have contacted a highly prominent barrister with specialised expertise in this area and many related, notable cases attributed to him. They will soon find themselves seriously out of their depth :mad2:

If nothing else, I don't see why they should still have the option of settling this with minimal cost to themselves. They have deliberately dragged this out for over a year knowing they were in the wrong but hoping I would give up, and putting me through a lifetime of grief. I can't imagine a £750 an hour barrister will be content with 'bearing our own costs' :madgrin:

Time to bring out the big guns and put an end to this once and for all :-x Sledgehammer to crack a nut springs to mind :!:

 

Thank you to everybody that has given their support in helping me get this far, hopefully it won't be long now before this is well and truly put to bed.

This is what they do, drag it out and hope you'll get intimidated and give up. It's seriously backfired on them this time :mad2:

 

As long as you are prepared for a long drawn out and bloody battle go for it! It's the only language they understand :lol:

That's Game,set & match to you IMO:madgrin:

I really hope so! I'll know more when I've spoken to him, he's due to call either today or tomorrow.

I would think that if such an esteemed professional agrees to take on my case, he would only do so if he truly believed there was a more than average chance of success.

Nooooo, it can't be...I've just read all 76 pages in one sitting, and it's still not resolved?

 

When you win (when, not if) could you submit expenses for wear and tear on my chair and damages to my posterior? :lol:

 

I wish you all the very best with this, and please, please post results- though to be fair, from what I've read so far, I don't think there's much chance of you not :)

 

Makes me want to major in consumer law now, not conveyancing- don't hate me...

 

Ttfn,

Thanks for your support :-) I know it's been dragging on for a truly ridiculous amount of time! Not much longer to wait now, just had the letter through from court and the trial window has been set for 4th-22nd April. Fingers crossed for the 11th, I'd love a day out on my birthday :madgrin:

I have just had a very interesting email from a barrister :madgrin: I sent a copy of the papers in and after reading them the barrister has said that she thinks I have a very good grasp of the issues involved and have 'clearly' had assistance in preparing my claim! In view of that she thinks I may 'prefer' to continue on as a LiP and not bother with legal representation :???:

I don't think I'm entirely sure what she means but I've replied anyhow saying that, even though I do have a good grasp of the issues, I would still rather have some support on the day.

 

I don't really know what to do now, I'm a bit confused! I think I'd still rather have a professional there with me, just for moral support if nothing else. The date has been set for 8th April in a different court to the one I have been going to, the nice thing is that it's at least a 2 hour drive from Nottingham 8)

lol but knowing the way this has gone so far, they'll probably not bother turning up!

I doubt they would do that ha ha! Not now they've put it in the hands of their 'lawyers', (and I use the term very loosely!).

They even went to the effort of getting a report from Land Registry to find out who actually owns the property :madgrin: They really don't know their bum from their elbow, especially because the law quite clearly states "...from ANY premises..." and "...or that of a third party without the consent of the debtor or hirer..."

All the land registry reports in all the world that could show the property was owned by the man in the moon won't change the fact that they didn't have MY consent OR a court order :mad2:

Even so, that's not going to get them out of mis-selling PPI, secret commission and a default notice sent after the repossession!

 

33 days to go.....:lol:
