    • Hi friends,  I’m a bit worried I may have got confused with timings here. I thought I had 33 days from my acknowledgment to submit a defence but the date added above says 3/6/24.   have I missed the date?   if so how can I apply for an exception due to my disability and problems with deadlines and dates etc (ADHD)?   what should I submit as a defence?   I’ve had no reply from BW so far    just been back on MCOL and it says 28 days from service if I completed an acknowledgment of service so does that mean 28 days from that of acknowledgement (I.e. 16/5) which would make deadline for defence 14/6?   Thanks! Panicking here.
    • Normally we don't advise playing your cards early in a snotty letter, but as you have appealed we might as well use what you wrote in the appeal against them. There is no rush, you have until 6 July to get it to them.  See what the other regulars think too. How about something like this? -   Dear Rachael & Sean, cheers for your Letter of Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea you'd actually thought I'd take such tripe seriously and would cough up! As usual you'll have been too bone idle to do any due diligence.  Had you done so you would have seen that I appealed to your client.  Indeed the driver on the day is a textbook example of having done exactly what you should do when you do not wish to be bound by the T&Cs in a private car park. Of course none of that mattered to the spivs you represent but do you really want to put such a useless case in front of a judge? To be fair, your clients are very useful members of the human race - as comedians.  How I loved the page turner of their antics at The Citrus Building in Bournemouth.  It was chuckle after chuckle reading about them, letter after letter, month after month, insisting they were legally in the right, even through someone who had done just the first day of a GCSE law course could have told them they weren't.  Until the denouement - BOOM - an absolute hammering in court.  In fact - SLAM, BANG - managing to lose twice against the same motorist for the same car park in front of two different judges. Your client can either drop their foolishness now or get yet another tolchocking* in court where I will go for an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g) and spend the dosh on a nice summer holiday, while every day laughing at your clients' expense. I look forward to your deafening silence. COPIED TO COUNTRYWIDE PARKING MANAGEMENT LTD   *  This word is used under licence from Brassnecked

    • Laura, I was surprised that the Director said that you hadn't appealed twice. I thought that the letter you posted on 24th June was the second appeal and that was to the IAS. And they did say that there was no further appeal possible. Could you please explain how many times you appealed. I am going to read your WS now. PS  Yes I meant to say that the keeper did not have a licence therefore it was wrong of them to assume he was the driver and the keeper. Thanks for picking that up.

    • 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.

Thanks Saintly,

 

had a read of the thread suggested. Have copied a bit from post 186 http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/barclays-bank/77430-caz-barclays-woolwich.html

about sending an email.

 

Have decided to do this, a copy of which is below. Any suggestions on the content and or right's or wrongs of doing this would be great.

 

Claim Number is in the subject line..

 

Good Morning,

 

I would be grateful if you could supply contact details of the person who is dealing with my Small Claims Case against Barclays Bank Plc.

 

The claim is due to be heard at 1000hrs on the 19 June 2007 at Birkenhead County Court by DISTRICT JUDGE ****** and although Barclays dispute my legal analysis, I still feel the charges levied to my account amount to penalty clauses and are unfair.

 

However I also feel that the amount being claimed is relatively modest and it is not cost effective for either party to take the matter to trial. Therefore, in order to avoid the inevitable time and cost associated with pursuing the claim to trial I am prepared to settle my claim out of court upon payment of the charges applied to my account together with statutory interest and costs involved, totalling £838.19 as of 25 May 2007.

 

Yours Sincerely

 

 

 

Mr ********

Razor, they wont respond to a letter, your best option is to contact tehm direct. I know its nerve racking but everyone that has come away has said "hey,,theyre actually a nice bunch".

 

They are!!!!!!

very accomodating ,,, as your claim is set for June you are in a position to be settled TODAY! is it really worth waiting for snail mail to get through only to be ignored or missed underneath all the other paperwork.

 

Call today and get paid!

 

Get your SOC's updated, add on all costs etc and talk to them, you will feel so much better for it afterwards.

Have just followed your advice dar£n and phoned Barclays. God its nerve racking, no one answered and it went straight to voicemail. Hope I didn't sound like to much of a muppet - hate answer phones.

 

Left my contact details, claim number and asked for the name of the person who is dealing with my claim and whether they intend to still take it to court. Hopefully I will here something later today.

Good news, I hope.

 

Have just spoken to a gentleman at Barclays Bank Litigation Dept and he said that I should receive a letter of settlement for the whole of my claim this week or next.

Court bundle sent last week. Thanks for T&C's - Saintly_1

 

I have received an email from the Litigation dept saying that a letter offering to settle has been sent this morning. Court date is early next week.

The offer is only for the actual charges and court fee, no interest as per S69 County Court Act 1984.

 

However i don't know if I have made a mistake now with the initial claim. In the amount claimed box I only entered the total amount of actual charges and didn't add the interest at that point to it. Did mention in the details section that I was claiming the interest though and sent a schedule of charges with the interest.

 

Did I mess the claim amount up??:confused:

Was half way through doing an email to that effect but then stopped as wasn't sure if I had messed up.

 

Should I have put the interest at the time in as well then in the claimed for amount? did wonder that at the time..

been looking around the site and its not clear to me. All the advice says mention the interest but not which type of interest. Is it the S69 interest or the contractual interest? Or both?

 

I thought the actual claim total ie the figures in the right hand column would be just the charges and in the POC you mention the S69 interest.

once you get to the claiming through court if you havent already stipulated in your LBA that you will be claiming CI then you only claim the s69 interest This is what the courts deem to be a reasonable rate and can only be claimed once you file at court

Almost there.

 

Letter arrived for the full amount of my claim. Have accepted and sent it back, with the confidentiality clause crossed out. Just waiting for the money now.

 

Not counting my chickens yet until the money is sat in my account though.

 

The court date is still on though until I get my money.

That's it, the end. Claim settled in full, can't believe it's finally over. They held out until the very last minute. Was due in court the start of next week.

 

Have spoken to the court and they said a letter stating that the case is settled is ok ( which is good as i have just sent it recorded delivery) and that I don't need to send a N279. Just need to get a letter off to Barclays to.

 

Oh and start on the wasted costs.

 

Thank you everyone that has helped and CAG for all the great templates and advice.

 

Barclaycard and Mastercard next.
