    • Have we seen your court bundle?   If we haven't then it's probably an idea to post it up here especially the index page and the witness statement so we can see if there is anything which might need adding or changing 
    • "Care to briefly tell someone who isn't tech savvy - i.e. me! - how you did this?" Its pretty simple although not obvious. You open the google maps app > click your profile picture > Click Timeline from the list > click today > choose the date you want to see the timeline from. Then you'll see your timeline for that day. Often, places you have visited will have a question mark beside them where google wants you confirm you have actually visited. You either click 'yes' if you have, or you click 'edit' to enter the actual place you visited. Sometimes, you'll see 'Missing visit' This probably happens if your internet connection has dropped out at that time. You simply click 'Add visit' and enter the place. The internet on my crappy phone often loses connection so I have to do that alot.   OK dx, understood mate. 
    • I have now been given a court date vs Evri, 4th Sept 2024. I have completed my court bundle, when am I expected to send copies to the court and Evri and should it be in hard copy or electronic? The Notice of Allocation states that no later than 7 days before the directions hearing both parties must send to the other party their final offers to settle. Does this mean I will have to tell Evri what I'm willing to settle? Rgds, J
    • Sorry  Noted x   Ok how about this to the CEO? I know it sounds super desperate but lets call a spade a spade here, I am super desperate: Dear Sir, On 29th November 2023 I took out a loan of £5000 with you. Unfortunately very early into 2024 I found myself in financial difficulty (unexpected bills and two episodes of sickness and the tax office getting my tax code wrong resulting in less pay for two months) and I contacted you (MCB) on 13th February 2024 asking if there was any way I could extend the length of my loan to 36 months. I fully explained why I was requesting this and asked for your help. I did not receive a reply to that email so I again contacted you on 7th March 2024 to advise you of a change in my circumstances which resulted in me having to take out a DMP and asking you to confirm that the direct debit had been cancelled. You would have also received confirmation of this DMP from StepChange but you did not acknowledge receipt of my email. I have only managed to make one payment from my loan but did try and contact MCB to discuss extending my loan, help etc.  I have now therefore fallen behind on several of my debts, yours included, and as a result you have lodged a Cifas marker against my name for "evasion of payment", which has resulted in me having to change banks, which has been an extremely difficult process because of the Cifas marker. I do not feel you have been fair or given me the opportunity to fully explain my situation to you before you lodged the marker against my name. I appreciate it is a business and you have acted accordingly, but I did try to make contact to arrange alternative arrangements and at no point, not even to this day, did I ever intend to not repay my loan. I cannot stress to you enough how much this has affected my mental health. I am having trouble sleeping and my existing health condition has been exacerbated by all of this. What I would like you to do is to please, please remove the Cifas marker and let me make arrangements to pay the loan back through a DMP.  Please sir, I am begging for your help here. I am not a dishonest person and I have never been in a situation like this before. I am desperately trying to make things right but this marker is killing me. Please can you help me? I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully,

    • 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 was thinking the same thing in reference to their defence, but unsure how to go about doing that. And yes, I need to submit it by tomorrow.

 

42 man has popped up some additional links for you as regards to completing the AQ.

 

In respect of a supplemental witness statement. All you would need to do is go through THEIR defence point by point.

 

Where you have evidence contradicting their statements then you should just say..

 

In respect of the Defendant's point ? They claim their contractural interest is such n such, where the Claimant has in their possession, proof that it was even more such n such :D

 

For the minute, I would just get your AQ completed and submitted. You can submit the rebuttal witness statement up to 7 days prior to the hearing. So you have a few days in hand for that part.

Thanks, 42 man.

 

I've had a read through those threads and I think they're more geared towards me being the defendant - whereas, I'm the claimant looking to claim back all credit card charges and contractual interest.

Hence, why I thought http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general/57708-draft-order-allocation-questionnaires.html would be good to follow with a few adaptations, but also something to rebutt their defence.

 

 

Zingy, that would be fine to make amendments to that link to suit your situation.

 

As I mention in the previous post you can either put in a supplementary rebuttal witness statement up to 7 days prior to the hearing or indeed include something in the Section G part of the AQ.

I think I will add something in section G with regards to their defence etc, and will include the draft directions to suit my case.

 

I will let you know how it goes.

Hi BG, just updating today - had a couple of deaths in the family and been working away for a while (hence, not been totally concerned with my pending court cases).

 

Anyway - Capital One are still concentrating on the fact that they will only pay statutory interest on the charges etc, and that my interest calculations are wrong - but, I have 10 original copies of statements dated from 2005 which clearly shows the monthly interest rate I have calculated by - only forgot to include them earlier so hopefully will be able to show the judge on Monday when I'm in court.

 

The other thing is - what would be my legal arguments on case law (or past county court cases, etc) where contractual interest should be refunded; and what would be the technical term for them depriving me of the money. I have good info from other credit cards who have paid out contractual interest (and so might help to sway the judge's opinion if he/she isn't for having it) - although, I'm not sure of the legalities of producing this in court (but can I refer to it?).

 

Also, Capital One sent me the difference (in their calculations and the outstanding debt on the account) in the form of a cheque on Thursday, which I sent back the next day - hoepfully, this means they are thinking of not showing up (but, who knows!).

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi zingy, if you can produce statements that show that the interest you have claimed IS correct then that rebuts part of their WS.

 

I see no reason why you wont be allowed to produce them.

 

I have no idea how you would argue for why you should be allowed contracturarl interest. I will alert the site team to your query and see if anyone has any ideas for you.

Hey Mike, yes they did this on Thursday - but the cheque only covered the statutory interest and not the contractual interest. I've been battling with them for months now, so wasn't going to accept the lower offer tbh.

 

If they do show up then I'm ready for any arguments they may have, but if they don't then I'll be requesting judgment.

Well if it is only stat interest what are you going to do/act quick, should be compound interest & stat interest as lodged court papers? others probably further advise. Good luck but go for full repayment as you say.

A hell of difference between 8% & say 26.9% by any calculation that is the usual purchase interest rate, they do try, even OMB cannot see cap one figure hardly ever add up correctly. Also compound + Stat interest even better, to incl all cost by you?

Well, a Barrister turned up at Court for Capital One.

 

However, when we got into the Judge's Chambers, the Judge adjuorned the case as he hadn't had time to read through everything (too much information to read through apparently, for a back-to-back hearing) - said a new hearing would probably be scheduled for the New Year as it would require a full afternoon.

 

He was quite abrupt with the Barrister too - highlighting the fact that Capital One's defence was to totally refute the charges but the witness statement said they paid the charges but not the contractual interest, etc - a major discrepancy that they 'would be advised to change'. The Barrister didn't really know what to say tbh and said that she would need to speak to her client (lol). She was quite pleasant but I think she was under the impression that it would be an easy win for her (needless to say I had my arguments ready anyhow, lol).

 

Also, when the Barrister said about 'reserved costs' the Judge said that he 'presumed' I would want this also (for me), to which I agreed ;-) So, here's hoping the Barrister goes back to Capital One and says 'pay up'. And if not, she has a cute bum so it'll be a bonus to see her again ;-)

 

Let's wait and see.

What a nuisance this has not been done and dusted, zingy. Sounds like it was a good result nontheless. In answer to an earlier question in respect of contractual interest. One of the site team posted this for me.. but I was a bit late in picking it up.

 

THe word the OP is looking for is
restitution

Thanks, CB. I was going with 'undue enrichment' but I will have a look at that case.

 

A couple of weeks before the hearing I will be sure to ask that I have the correct information and ensure everything is watertight for the hearing - but, I'm also hoping that they pay up before then.:roll:

Well, got the order from the DJ through. New hearing to take place in January :roll:.

 

Wished it was sooner, but you can't have everything. I was thinking about writing to Capital One, asking if they would settle the claim as they have no hope in winning, more costs, etc, etc (but NOT containing without prejudice) - just not sure if this will encourage them to stop wasting my time?

Don't leave it too late - get all your advice gathered well before Christmas!

 

Many of us will only have limited time to get online with all the family around - new toys to be assembled and complex instructions to be explained by 4 year olds etc.

I was going to take a bit of time off and leave it to the second week in December, BD. I'm pretty confident of my arguments etc, just want to see if there's any similar cases with Capital One in the past (would add more weight, etc) and be sure I'm 100% on the ball.

 

Also, what do you think about me writing to Capital One suggesting they settle - re: costs and contradications with their defence/WS that the Judge highlited to the defence barrister? I will go to court, but if I do, I want to be able to show the judge that I have asked them to settle and have been reasonable (especially when I hit them with my Bill of Costs).

Depends why and for how much you want to settle. It seems to me that you would win - but for peace of mind some token settlement might make sense. I'd be interested to see if they went along with it though.

 

I need to chase CR*p One for about £4k all in - charges and contractual interest since late 2001 - I offered to settle for £2.5k a few months ago to avoid court and they turned me down - offering me under £1k. Cheeky sods!

 

I really need to get my *rse in gear and get he claim into court as I am sure I would win the full £4k.

Get your claim in BD. I'm just going along the lines of full settlement, with the point of them not having to pay their barrister to attend court etc. I'm going to leave it until the end of the month and then send a letter - pretty sure they'll say no, but worth a shot.

Good tactics - you're actually giving nothing away that you're entitled to get - just saving them further costs - hope it works - keep us posted.

 

I predict they'll settle just before the case is due - either by post a few days before - or in person just before going into court - so very important you do turn up!

 

Good luck
