    • Thanks BankFodder for your latest, I'm in complete agreement on the subject of mediation and will be choosing to decline mediation, the longer timeline is not an issue for me, I will happily let the going to court run it's course. I really appreciate the support from the Consumer Action Group. I'll post the email text I'm sending to Evri's small claims in answer to their recent defence response. Regards, J
    • Sec127 (3) repealed, now gone. S. 127(3)-(5) repealed (6.4.2007) by Consumer Credit Act 2006 (c. 14), ss. {15}, 70, 71(2), {Sch. 4} (with Sch. 3 para. 11); S.I. 2007/123, art. 3(2), Sch. 2
    • We used to recommend that people accept mediation but our advice has changed. The mediation process is unclear. Before you can embark on it you have to agree that you are prepared to enter a compromise – and that means that you agree that you are prepared to give up some of your rights even though you are completely in the right and you are entitled to hundred percent of your money and even though EVRi are simply trying to obstruct you in order to discourage you and also to put others who might want to follow your example off from claiming and even though they have a legitimate basis for reimbursement. Mediation is not transparent. In addition to having to sign up that you are prepared to give up some of your rights, you will also have to agree not to reveal any details of the mediation – including the result of the mediation – so that the whole thing is kept secret. This is not open justice. Mediation has nothing to do with justice. The only way of getting justice is to make sure that this matter goes to trial unless EVRi or the other parcel delivery companies put their hands up and accept the responsibility even if they do it is a gesture of goodwill. Going to trial and winning at trial produces a judgement which we can then add to our small collection to assist other people who are in a similar boat. EVRi had been leading you around by the nose since at least January – and probably last year as well – and their whole purpose is simply to drag it out, to place obstacles in your way, to deter other people, and to make you wish that you'd never started the process and that you are prepared to give up your 300 quid. You shouldn't stand for it. You should take control. EVRi would prefer that you went to mediation and if nothing else that is one excellent reason why you should decline mediation and go to court. If it's good for them it's bad for you. On mediation form, you should sign that you are not prepared to compromise and that you are not prepared to keep the result secret but that you want to share the results with other people in similar circumstances. This means that the mediation won't go ahead. It will take slightly longer and you will have to pay a court fee but you will get that back when you win and you will have much greater satisfaction. Also, once you go the whole process, you will learn even more about bringing a small claim in the County Court so that if this kind of thing happens again you will know what to do and you will go ahead without any hesitation. Finally, if you call EVRi's bluff and refuse mediation and go to trial, there is a chance – maybe not a big chance – but there is a chance that they will agree to pay out your claim before trial simply in order to avoid a judgement. Another judgement against them will simply hurt the position even more and they really don't want this. 300 quid plus your costs is peanuts to them. They don't care about it. They will set it off against tax so the taxpayer will make their contribution. It's all about maintaining their business model of not being liable for anything, and limiting or excluding liability contrary to section 57 and section 72 of the consumer rights act.     And incidentally, there is a myth that if you refuse mediation that somehow it will go against you and the judge will take a dim view and be critical of you. This is precisely a myth. It's not true. It would be highly improper if any judge decided the case against you on anything other than the facts and the law of the case. So don't worry about that. The downside of declining mediation is that your case will take slightly longer. The upside is that if you win you will get all your money and you will have a judgement in your favour which will help others. The chances of you winning in this case are better than 95% and of course you would then receive 100% of your claim plus costs

    • 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.

Hi Let me explain it here as I need help fast please.

 

So here we go I need some help regarding a owed payment made to me by my cousin in Feb 10 for £5000. He gave me a cheque but I requested him not to put my name but to leave it blank as I owed money to my friend. I gave that cheque to my friend and he deposit in his account. every one was happy.

Now I had a family dispute with my cousin and he asked me to give the money back although he owed me that money. I refused to give and he instead put a claim through court that he lent the money to my friend instead of me as he know that cheque was given to my friend. My friend doesn't even know him but today he's got court papers which He got 14 days to put the defence. I don't want my friend to have any problem as I gave him the cheque. I am the witness and that cheque was given by me but in court papers my cousin is claiming that he lent the money to my friend and wants it back with intreset.

 

I hope I am clear enough if any one can help me to fill the defence or guide me any which way rather than going to hire a solicitor.

All I want is to convince court that I gave my friend the cheque not My cousin.I have a witness when he gave me the cheque.

All the help is welcome.:sad::confused::-x

Your friend can return the forms ticking the forms saying he disputes the whole amount.

 

Then it falls to your cousin to show that the friend owes the money to him and he will fail, as he will have to explain how he came to lend money to your friend. Since they don't even know one another, that should prove interesting to see how he's going to work that one out.

 

Could you post the POC here, please? what possible reason did he give to sue?

Sorry, I should have also said that your cousin's claim will fail in essence because he is suing the wrong person.

 

The contractual relationship goes like this:

cousin -> you

you -> friend

 

if there is an argument between you and your cousin, then you're the one he should pursue. Your friend's defence is precisely that: he doesn't know your cousin, YOU paid him back the money you owed him, he doesn't understand why he got dragged into this. Quite rightly too.

My cousin did find out from bank that cheque my friend. He can't take me to court due to family reason but instead he took my friend. I am prepared to go to court and witness that I gave the cheque to my friend.

 

This is the letter I asked my friend to write to his solicitor and today we got this POC>

 

I received your letter dated 25th June 2010 regarding the above reference, the contents of which are noted.

I have NO knowledge of receiving any payment from your client as you quoted in your letter. Your client never “lent” me any money at all. Above all I have neither spoke to your client nor made any agreement of retuning alleged “lent” money repayment.

Your client has got No business whatsoever with me.

So unless your client clarify with agreement evidence please do not write to me . Any more these kind of harassment/threatening letters I will take an appropriate action against your client.

Now I would respectfully suggest that please note you may also consider this letter as a statutory notice under section 10 of the Data Protection Act to cease processing any of my personal data in relation to this account with immediate effect.

 

This means you must remove all information regarding this account from your own internal records.

I hope that I have made myself clear enough to you.

I look forward to hearing from you in writing.

Copy and paste your letter from Word on to Notepad, then copy from Notepad and paste here, it will remove the formatting. ;-)

 

Is the claim form actually sent from a solicitor, or was it issued though Northampton?

 

I really need to see what are the grounds for claiming. EDIT: sorry, with the wonky formatting, I missed the .jpegs, I'll have a look now.

Please tell me you haven't sent this yet? :shock:

 

Has he acknowledged the claim? He MUST do so if not, or he will lose by default and will then have to get it set aside if he can!!!

 

He must tick the form saying "I dispute the total amount" and send it back to the court before the deadline.

 

After that, he will have another 2 weeks to send in his defence.

 

Defence, keep it VERY simple:

 

1 - Denied, the claimant is put to strict proof of the allegation.

 

2 - Denied, the claimant is put to strict proof of the allegation. It is admitted that a cheque for the sum was presented by defendant, it was however a cheque given to him by Mr XXX in payment for monies due to himself (Mr XXX will testify to his effect, as will Mr XXX, who witnessed the event. The Defendant doesn't know the claimant and has to his knowledge never had contact with him, and puts claimant to strict proof to show otherwise.

 

3 - Denied, and claimant is put to strict proof of the allegation. To the best of his knowledge, defendant has never met, spoken to or otherwise communicated with the claimant, and fails to understand why he is being named in this claim. Claimant has failed to identify under which area of the law he believes he has a contractual relationship with the defendant (which is denied in the event) and under which area of the law he believes to have redress (which is denied). Claimant's claim is totally without merit, has no basis in law or substance and it is respectfully suggested that his claim be dismissed forthwith, without wasting further the time of the Court.

 

I believe the facts stated , bla bla bla... date and sign.

 

Don't volunteer anything else, don't suppose why, don't suggest anything. it is up to THEM to prove their case and with you and other guy to testify that you were actually the recipient of the disputed money, I can't see it getting very far. ;-)

No that letter we only wrote to the solicitor NOT to the court. That was the reply when he recieved the letter from solicitors asking for the money. POC we got it today and we still need to reply to the court.

*phew*

 

Right, so as above then: tick box "I dispute all of the amount" or whatever it says on the form, then send it back, the court will then process it. You then have 4 weeks from date on the N1 to send in the defence to the courts. That should give the other side a nasty shock. :-D

Yes. First fill in and send back the N9B. You can fill in the defence at the same time if you want, use another piece of paper to continue on, making sure you write the claim nos on it.

 

Your witness statements can come later, for now, you just need to acknowledge and return.

 

Your cousin is in for a nasty surprise, I think. As the amount including interest is above £5K, the courts may well decide to kick it out of small claims, at which point his legal costs are going to soar. Word of warning: if it goes out of SCC, the loser pays the winner's costs, so if that happens, you will be best advised to lawyer up properly. But we can cross that bridge when we come to it.

I will be doing it on Moday just to send the acknowledge and N9B form.

 

I just like to prove that why he is lying to the court that he gave money to my friend. He still owes me quite amount of money instead he is trying to be clever.

 

So do we have to write a counter claim or leave it? and in No 2 paragraph where we have to write the witness name only or adresses too?

It is admitted that a cheque for the sum was presented by defendant, it was however a cheque given to him by Mr XXX in payment for monies due to himself (Mr XXX will testify to his effect, as will Mr XXX, who witnessed the event.
