    • Your page numbers should run through your WX and exhibits so im concerned its page x of 9.
    • Paragraph 18 – you are still talking about Boston stolen items. About time this was fixed??? Paragraph 19  In any event, the claimant's PS5 gaming device was correctly declared and correctly valued. The defendant accepted it for carriage and was even prepared to earn extra money by selling sell insurance in case of its loss or damage. New paragraph 20 – this the defendant routinely sells insurance in respect of "no compensation" items (a secondary contract contrary to section 72 CRA 2015) new paragraph above paragraph 20 – the defendant purports to limit its liability in respect of lost or damaged items. This is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights act 2015. The defendant offers to extend their liability if their customer purchases an insurance cover for an extra sum of money. This insurance is a secondary contract calculated to exclude or limit their liability for the defendants contractual breaches and is contrary to section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015. New paragraph below paragraph 42 – the defendant merely relies on "standard industry practice" You haven't pointed to the place in your bundle of the Telegraph newspaper extract. You have to jiggle the paragraphs around. Even though I have suggested new paragraph numbers, the order I have suggested is on your existing version 5. You will have to work it out for your next version. Good luck!   Let's see version 6 Separately, would you be kind enough to send me an unredacted to me at our admin email address.

    • 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.

Could do with some urgent advice as i am not sure how to proceed

 

Cheers

Stewart

 

 

Dear Mr Nicol

I refer to your letter dated 30 August 2006.I note from your letter that you feel excessive charges were applied to your account during the past 6 years.

 

During this time,the relationship between you and the bank was governed by the banks standard terms and conditions.Those terms and conditions provided :

 

1 charges for unpaid items and irregular borrowing would not apply while your account operated in credit or within an agreed overdraft limit.

 

2 must obtain banks agreement before overdrawing on your account

 

3 cheque card misuse

 

4 draw cheques without sufficient funds in account

 

5 charges and interest applicable to the account were published in the form of tariffs and up to date tariffs were available in branches and from time to time enclosed with statements.

 

6 where appropriate,written details of overdraft charges and debit interest incurred on the account during the previous charging period)(i.e,the previous month)would be sent to you at least 14 days before the charges and interest were deducted from your account.

 

7 If the bank increased a charge for service,the bank would give 14 days notice.

I would note that the tems and conditions complied with all relevent requirement of the banking code.

 

You are responsible for the running of your account,and for ensuring that sufficient funds are in you account to meet the standing arders,direct debits and cheques which you have created or drawn on the account.As stated in the rterms and conditions governing your account with the bank,you are aware that charges will be incurred if insufficient funds are in your account on the dates the payments you have instructed are debited.The charges applied to your account were applied in accordance with the rterms and conditions,as a result of your operation of the account.

Further,the terms and conditions were fairhaving regard to the following matters

 

a cost of bank maintanence admin systems in relation to unpaid cheques,card abuse,unauthorised overdrafts etc

 

b increased risk of loss for the bank

 

c the need to set standard charges bla bla bla

 

Taking all the above into account,I am not prepared to refund any charges.I have enclosed a copy of our internal complaints handeling which you can write to or the financial ombudsman service

 

If you do not respond within 8 weeks your complaint will be considered closed.

 

Please note that you should proceed straight to cout action against the Bank in respect of this matter,the Bank reserves the right to lodge a counter claim against you for damages suffered as a result of the breach by you of your contract with the bank

 

Yours Sincerely

Hilary McGuinness

Customer Relation Officer

hi it reads like a standard foboff letter to me. Ensure you read the FAQ they will guide you through the process. have you submitted a DPA request? if not do so then send the prelim letter. :D

Hi Stewart. I received exactly the same letter from Ms McGuinness yesterday. The threat of a counterclaim is just meant to scare you and has no legal basis.

 

This appears to be the standard letter they send after people's Letter Before Action. If this letter was sent to you as a response to your initial approach for repayment letter, I would say that it has saved you 14 days' waiting time, because even if you were to send another Letter Before Action, you would get exactly the same standard response.

 

Just proceed to court. It's what I intend to do next week.

Thanks for the prompt advice,i had sent the dpa and got my statements,this was a reply to my initial letter,which i sent with the spreadsheet of charges,should i not send my LBA first though,rather than than going straight to court.

I know that this may lead to another fob off but will follow the protocall of claiming,i am just worried that if it goes to court then it may go against me if i do not go through the entire proccess.

Hope i am not being to thick here guys,apologies if i am:-?

 

Cheers again

Just to warn you that they do counterclaims against some people and not others, but if you get one the same as mine it is nothing to worry about. Six year olds could have done better with their feeble defence and counterclaim.

 

Defence - it is fair

Counterclaim - if you get your money back from us we want it back again

 

Nothing to worry about.

One point though try to stick to the timetable if you rush things the judge may think that you havent been playing fair.

 

Give them 14 days (LBA) + 14 days (reconsider) then court
