    • Just an update for all. I received about a letter every other week, increasing in threat levels. Then I hadn't had one for a about two weeks, then Saturday received a carbon copy of the very first letter they sent me in February. Made me laugh, rinse and repeat. 
    • So, your response was not received by the SCP as you did not send it with a valid stamp. Therefore, from my two option in post #14, the first option is the only one available to you, but you do not have the option of asking to be sentenced at the fixed penalty level as the reason the SCP did not receive your response was down to you. Here's a reminder of what to do: Respond to the SJPN by pleading “Not Guilty” to both charges. In the “Reasons for pleading Not Guilty” box state that you are willing to plead guilty to the speeding charge providing, and only providing, the “Fail to Provide Driver's Details" (FtP) charge is dropped. This is a tried and tested method to deal with your problem and is almost always successful. Before the pandemic it was necessary to attend court to do this "deal" because it needs the agreement of the police prosecutor.. During the pandemic courts made every effort to have as few  people as possible attend and they began doing this deal under the "Single Justice" procedure without the defendant's attendance. Some courts have carried this procedure on whilst others have reverted to a personal attendance being necessary. If you are required to attend, your case will be taken out of the SJ procedure and you will be given a date for a hearing in the normal Magistrates' Court. If that is the way they do it in the area involved you will have to attend, see the prosecutor and offer your "deal" in person.

    • 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.

I got my statments today I only asked for them about 10 days ago my cheque for £10 was also returned which was nice they owe me just over £1500 over the last six years so let the battle commence.

Hi I have done my spreadsheet but the interest bit has got me, Looking through my statments over the last six years it looks like I have only been charged about £2.50 could this be correct or should I be adding the interest to what they owe me.

There are two bits of interest.

 

1. Interest you have been charged by being overdrawn or lost on an interest bearing account. This will be included in the refund you demand from the bank. The amount of interest will depend on the type of account you have. It should be itemised on your statements. If it is overdraft interest £2.50 sounds very low for £1500 over six years.

 

2. Interest you add to your claim when you take action in the court to recover your loss. This is always 8%pa and is only added if you start court action via the County Court system e.g. MCOL. The 8% is calculated pro rata on the number of days using the total of the unlawfully taken charges + any interest charged or lost as a result. This + the court fee then forms the basic amount of the claim.

"plus interest of XXXXX"

 

This is the amount of Overdraft Interest you have been charged in your statement's, not the 8% interest you would be entitled to if you go to court.

Hi all, I got Barclays defence today, usual rubbish!!!!!

I have been on the step by step pages to have a look at the guidance notes,which I must say were very useful, but can anyone clarify a few questions I have?

Section D applications-what does this mean?

Witnesses- myself obviously, but how do I put it politely that Barclays have been stealing from my account.

Section F Proposed Directions- what dose this part mean?

Many thanks to anyone who can help me with these points.

I recieved my court date today. Its for 28th February, however I am a little concerned regarding the directions that apply to the claim, the letter was dated the 14th Dec which I receieved this morning the 16th Dec, It states;

 

1] Each party shall deliver to every other party and to the court office copie's of all document's ( including expert's report's if the court is given permission for expert evidence to be used ) on which he intend's to rely at the hearing.

 

2] The copie's shall be delivered by 4pm on Friday the 15th Dec 06.

 

3]The original document's shall be brought to the hearing.

 

Are the court are asking me for my court bundle to be delivered by Friday 15th Dec or are they referring to the document's that I have already provided as in the Allocation Questionare, the spread sheets with the sum involved?

Can anybody shed some light onto what there asking I just hope its not the court bundle they want by the 15th Dec as I only got the letter doday the 16th Dec ( the court letter was dated the 14th Dec ).

I have spoken to the court today they WHERE asking for my court bundle, the guy I spoke to said not to worry he will sort a new date out for my bundle to be in by. He said he can't understand why the judge asked for it so early as it would just be sitting on file. The judge allocated it for the small claims on the 1st Dec the hearing date is the 28th Feb 07, I never got any letter telling me about the allocation hearing is this normal, do you think a phone call to Barcleys would be worth it or is it to early to try that one yet.

Take a look at post #240 in my thread here . It appears that cases as far ahead as that will not be settled until the New Year.

Thanks for getting back to me Welshman, just a quick one in my post I said the court had already allocated my case to the small claims but had not told me about the allocation hearing which was back on Dec 1st, my court date is the 28th Feb any reason for this.

Absolutely no idea. It may have got lost in the system somewhere. Anyway, no harm done. It's just a shame that Barclays won't at least settle with those who have their dates regrdless of how far ahead they are.

 

I feel very fortunate.
