    • Hurrah! We got there.  After asking four times about the defence you've answered. To win this you will have to be a hell of a lot more pro-active and get reading up.  The standard defence is on every single claim form thread here. So first task for the evening. Go to  https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/393251-received-a-court-claim-from-a-private-parking-speculative-invoice-how-to-deal-with-it-hereupdated-dec-2021/ Scroll down to  Q2) How should I defend? There is the standard defence. Change (6) into (7) and add a new (6). 6.  In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. Get if filed this evening.
    • OK, relenting on my above irritated post ... It's worth defending it.  At the very least they are likely to offer a deal. Plus  PE have added two completely invented amounts.  The £100 charge has morphed into £125.  Then they've added £50 legal representative's costs although they have no legal representative.  Even if it went all the way to court and you lost, the  judge would likely disallow the made up £25 + £50. Please fill in the sticky as dx asked. Then dx will be on with details of how to defend.
    • Quite interesting that the Conservative East Midlands  Mayor candidate doesnt mention conservative on his promotion LOL   but he does claim that he, a Conservative politician, is the man to fix the 14 years of Conservative devastation of the region - inc 'fixing' problems inc the utter devastation of the roads, bus and train services that his party have  imposed   Must all rotate around the meaning of fixing he actually means .. fixing noun dishonest activity to make certain that a competition, race, or election is won by a particular person:   .. or perhaps he just means 'fixing' - preventing change
    • Yes, absolutely normal for them to waste everybody's time and money by asking for more time – which they are entitled to do, of course – but it is simply a waste of time. They use prepared template defences. They know they are in the wrong but they simply want to make your life tough because they don't care about you. However do keep an eye out. You never know there is just a 1% chance that they could miss the deadline in which case you should apply for judgement immediately.

    • 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.

Hello,

this is my first attempt at posting. I received a reply from my bank, the Woolwich/now Barclays bank that on the total charges ***** from me, approx. £2500 over the last 6 years, they are prepared to give me only £700, 'without any admissions of liability, due to the cost and inconvenience inherent in a further dispute, and intended as a gesture of goodwill', end of quote. I found this very insulting indeed. I am not prepared to accept this. I wonder how they got to this figure. Please i need urgent advice on how to proceed, whilst looking for the right template on this site.

thanks a million. Jacqui

hi jacqi,

i myself are quite new to this!!! i have had an offer of £1000 as a good will gesture so i telephoned them once i recieved a letter stating that offer wasnt good enough after all the bad press etc and how much people are getting back they immedietly upped it to £1350 which i refused over the phone then i sent a letter stating i would accept the money as an intrim payment but would seek the rest through the small claims court. so basiclly they are admitting they are wrong i again declined this offer went on holiday for a fortnight came home telephoned barclays head office yesterday to let them know that i was going to my local county court today(i left a voice mail) a guy called james mccoombs with a very high pitched voice telephoned me today whilst i was in court handing over my £120 to say that this was there final offer so i guess i will see them in court!!!! i havent a clue what im doing either but people on here do help

Hi Jacqui,

 

Totally agree fight your corner - they have taken your money via charges - so why accept less than that back. Your comments are potentially libelous above though.

 

Keep us all informed, good luck;)

thank you all for the support and words of encouragement. I have now put in a court claim online for the total amount owed, and anxiously waiting to see what happens next. Just out of interest though, has anyone had their Woolwich/Barclays Openplan account closed as a result of taking them to court, or them using the money owed to clear any overdraft on the account whether the customer agrees to it or not?

Its taken me a while to post again because i did not know where to go see any replies to my earlier posting.

thanks.

Hi.

 

(Please accept my apologies if this is posted in the wrong forum).

 

I only found this site today, quite by accident!

 

I would appreciate help in a situation that I consider to be unfair. It may be that Woolwich are justified in what they charged my boyfriend, but if you could help it would be really appreciated.

 

 

In April 2004 my boyfriend took out a 25 year mortgage for £60,000 with the Woolwich. He paid £275 for a 2 year discounted rate and his monthly payments were approximately £360 per month. In March 2006 the sale of his house was completed and he moved in with me. When he redeemed his mortgage he was just one month short of coming to the end of the 2 year discounted rate.

 

Woolwich charged him an early repayment charge of approx. £1000 which we had anticipated, but they also charged him approx £2,000 for redeeming the mortgage ONE month before the end of the discount rate deal. Had he completed one month later this charge would not have applied. We were informed that this charge would apply whether the mortgage was redeemed 23 months early or 1 day before the end of the discounted rate deal. We thought the charge would have been pro rata, ie. because he was only one month short that he should have only been charged 1/24th of the charge.

 

For the sake of one more monthly payment of £360, he was charged £2000. This seems so unfair.

 

Please, if anyone can help, please respond to this post.

 

Many thanks

 

Joanne :)
