    • FINAL UPDATE.  I have not posted as the defence were reading the thread.  An agreement was reached on the day of the hearing.   I am unable to go into detail but for those in this position the forum has been priceless support and advice so thank you all in the site team.   for those going through this, follow the process, ignore intimidating tactics and threats and get to the Judge.  They are very supporting of those self representing.   I note her name has gone from the heading of the thread.  Was this them ?  Thanks again.  
    • I'm not sure what the "appeal" system asked but he said he definitely didn't indicate he was the driver so I'm just going to have to take his word for it. Honestly, I don't think the hirer will contact them. I think my brother will tolerate it. I did have a similar experience with another company 6-7 years ago and sought advice on here then to which you guys told me to ignore, I got the exact same DRP letters and then a "Gladstones Solicitor" letter.  After that nothing happened and it died away. Based on my experience with that I assumed the same would happen here but only asked to see if perhaps anything had changed since then.    Hopefully it doesn't get to court but if it did, I feel like we have enough evidence to sway a judge who probably hates dealing with this type of nonsense anyway. Or maybe I'm too optimistic. 
    • Your attachment showing the cinema parking restrictions seems crystal clear. Let's see what the photos turn up.
    • Meter certification periods re given in The Meters (Certification) Regulations 1998, Schedule 4. From there you can check if they are correct about your specific meter .. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1998/1566/schedule/4 If they're telling porkies then you have e clear grounds to tell them to take  hike. If they're correct or if you haven't been able to confirm then you have  few options. You could just keep fobbing them off. In general Octopus can't keep up with demand for smart meters. It took 9 months to get our. So they may not push too hard. Or ask if you can install your own choice of meter. The Electricity Act 1989 cover this in Schedule 7 (2) and (2A) https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1989/29/schedule/7 Or fight the them and their enforcement. Or go off supply.
    • We received a copy of the completed Directions Questionnaire (N181) from the solicitors along with a draft copy of their directions. I am on a course today so can upload over the weekend if needed. By 4pm on 16th May both parties must each give standard disclosure of documents by way of list by category. By 4pm on 30th May any request for inspection or copies of docs must be made and compiled 14 days thereafter. I will provide more over the weekend.

    • 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 guys this is what happened at court. I handed in my judgement. The man there said that natwest still have as long as it takes to process my judgement. That depends on the back log of work they have. Could be a week. So basically natwest could have another week to put in a defence even though I handed in my judgement today. Also even when my judgement is processed natwest could still have it set aside. So the long and the short of it is that anything can happen until the day you get your money. Timescale mean almost nothing and the judgement doesnt mean much either.

 

I can just sit and hope now that I either get an offer of settlement in the post or that natwest dont bother to issue a defence and the judgement goes through without a fight.

Ok guys now I need some HELP. Received Cobbetts Defence today. In it they say that they are embarrassed by the lack of particularity pleaded in the particulars of claim (used template on this site) and that I fail to disclose reasonable grounds for bringing a claim against natwest.

 

They say the particulars of claim set out no facts indicating what the claim is about, are incoherent and do not disclose any legally recognisable claim against natwest.

 

What do I do next please ??????

Ok I have sent back an Amended Particulars of Claim. Basically saying the same thing as the first but is different words. Have sent a copy to the Court. I pointed out to the court that their expiry time for serving a Defence was two days ago and that I had applied for judgement yesterday. Dont suppose it will do any good.

 

Will have to wait and see what happens now.

Hi Debbie

 

I am at the same stage. The court has sent Cobbetts defence - pretty pathetic really. The asked for CPR by 13 Sep - they didn't get it till 19th Sep. Boo Hoo - they had no right to ask for it it the beginning. You just have to wait, probably send a letter with an offer.

Hi Debbie,

I went to County Court with my N1 same time as you. I have phoned the County Court Three times in the last Three weeks . What has happened is that the Trevor McDonald programme opened up a avalanche of claims against the Banks that it has caused a Back log in claims. The County Court on Thursday said my claim was being seen by the district Judge this Friday and I should fingers crossed get Judgement sometime next week. The Poole County Court have been really help full but they are not used to this sort of response. Telephone your County Court with the Claim number and they will be able tigive you a rough time scale.

Hope this is of help

Called the Court today. They said my case was going before the judge for him to issue a court date. Unfortunately they have a large back log and my date will definitely not be before January. It has been quite a few weeks since my offer from Cobbetts and I am wondering whether they are going to hold out until the very last moment. For me that might mean no money before xmas. I am still keeping my fingers crossed cos you never know.
