    • is the side street solely for access to your garages? who owns the land and thus the road? dx  
    • A local business has been parking on an off-street parking space in front of my garages (in a side street).  I wasn't using them for a while so didnt bother to do anything.  But now a second local business is also using the osp - taking it in turns with the 1st biz.  This has started to nark me.    The employees choose to drive to work.  There is no private parking in their business's street.  But there are some underground secure garages in their street - which cost apx £2.4k/y to rent - which works out apx £6.60/d. (I believe one of the biz owners already rent one for storage purposes).  If the employee had to park on a meter it would cost them £6.60/h - £66 for 10h and have to move every 4h.  They just don't want to pay for parking. I haven't confronted either of them.  Instead I just put 2 clear "no parking" signs in front of the garages. And a note on one of the cars specifically saying that as they don't live or rent in the street and it's private land could they stop parking.   They ignored that.  And just put notes on their dash with a # to call if one needs the car moved.  There is a sign and they've been told in writing to stop parking. And they are just ignoring it.    I don't what a confrontation.    I don't want to go to the expense of bollards (other than maybe traffic plastic ones - but they'll probs just move them).  Council won't do zilch cos it's private land. And police won't get involved - unless I clamp/ tow the cars and then they'd be after me, not the drivers!    What's the best thing to do?
    • yes might be the best idea. you'd only at best get 8% flat interest and that unusual on a GOGW if this was what it was. simply contact the FOS and let them know its resolved. dx  
    • If you’ve ever wondered how you might fare in armed combat, the first 20 minutes of Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan is likely to make you thank your lucky stars you were born too late to storm the Normandy beaches on June 6 1944. I suspect many of us might be driven to identify with those men who were absolutely turned to stone by fear. And yet these young men, mainly conscripts, screwed their courage to the sticking point and did the job the fate had chosen for them, heroes all.   .. UK PM Sunak perhaps thinks he understands mind numbing fear better than many as he dishonorably fled the beachhead to do nothing more than double down on dishonest spin and lies from the safety of a UK studio .. The Normandy heroes who not only held their positions, but advanced through hell to a victory that changed the entire course of history .. undoubtedly hold a different perspective.     from a perspective in TheConversation     ..

    • Yes, send a message to the purchaser but keep it very friendly and simply that you noticed that the package has now been delivered.  I suggest that you ask them if they want to keep the package still or if they would rather return it and that if they want to keep it then please will they return your payment to you to your PayPal address. Keep it as polite and friendly as possible and then we will decide what to do if he doesn't reply or refuses.  Meanwhile I will have a look at Google earth and see if you are able to spot the gas meter outside the house to get an idea if the delivery is real.

    • 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 Andy -

 

In my N244 draft 'draft order' can I add this?:

 

 

I respectfully request the Court permission pursuant to CPR 15.5 a 28-day extension to 4pm 11th October 2011 (extended from 13th September) granted for the defendant to file a defence in light of claimants failure to reply to CPR 31.14 and CPR 18 requests and subsequent refusal to agree to a CPR 15.5 extension upon request.

I would also ask the Court to consider the Claimants costs for this refusal.

Then I would also make a brief reference to it in box 4 on the N244 form too?

Otherwise it will be similar to the one on the thread you told me to read...

Does that read ok?

 

 

Andy

Do you mean "Claimant's" (their) or "defendants" (mine)?

Claimants any refusal to be civil or uncooperative or refuse mediation affects (reduces) their costs ( should they win)

Right, I have what seems like an acceptable agreement to a 28 day extension from the claimant (by e-mail). I will print and send this to the court and see if they accept

Right - I faxed over a letter saying that the claimant has agreed to an extra 28 days together with a print out of the e-mail. I then called to see if they received and they hadn't logged it (perhaps I was being a little hasty as I only waited 30 mins). I took the oppotunity to ask the court lady if my new defence due date would be amended to 11 Oct and she said "no, the only way you can get a 28 day extension is by doing a N244". "The due date will remain as 13 sept on the system but as the claimant has agreed for the extension, it should be fine". all sounds a bit vague to me. Is this normal?

Right home now.

 

If I have:

 

1. Got e-mailed agreement from Claimant for 28 day extension to the 11th October

2. Faxed this with a covering letter to the court with claim number referenced

3. The court confirms to me tomorrow (on thew phone) that they have received my fax and logged it on the system

 

Is that enough for me not to worry about the original deadline of next Tuesday?

 

Hopefully that is all I need to ask tonight and for a while! :-)

For those that are following - my SAR response from MBNA is due by Fri 16th so in theory, I will have details of the charges on the account in time for my defence submission. However, I don't expect they will comply fully or at all but at least I can take action if they don't.

One thing that Arrow said re my CPR 18 reqest - "MBNA wouldn't have details of all transactions and charges as it is your responsibility to keep a record of all your statements". I have now asked for these via CPR 18 and a SAR sent out 4 weeks ago (prior to the claim being issued).

As it is their responsibility to account for everything, particularly if they consider mounting a claim.

Apologies Mr DJ we don't keep records perhaps you could ask the defendant to justify our claim, its hes responsibility to maintain our files.:madgrin:

Well my CPR 15.5 request (in light of failure to reply to CPR 31.14) worked. Next is to fire off reminders for CPR 18 and also MBNA SAR. Just want to make sure that it is obvious that I have done everything I can to get docs I need to defend. If no Docs by 2 weeks before 11th Oct, I will go with the N244 approach

Hello,

 

Just back from a weekend away and have the day off today. Thought I'd plan my next few steps (thinly veiled 'calling Andy' post).

 

CPR 31.14 is now over a week late and CPR 18 is a day late - those were both sent directly to the claimant as instructed on claim form and have been received at their end. MBNA (OC) SAR is due by Friday and have heard nothing. Defence now needs to be in by 11th October (28 days from now) as an extension was agreed and filed with the Court.

 

Claimant (Arrow/Wikin Chapman) said that the would need up to 6 weeks to reply to CPR 31.14 which will take us beyond 11th October if they take the full 6 weeks. They also told me (on the phone which I recorded) that they can't help with my CPR 18 request as MBNA do not keep a history of transactions on my account and that it is my responsibility to keep all old statements.

 

Should I send off the following this week:

 

1. Reminder for CPR 31.14 - if so, how do I play this? What deadline do I give? Was thinking 27th September (14 days from defence submission deadline) then a N244 submitted if I don't receive

2. Reminder for CPR 18 - Same deadline? How do I refute their claim that MBNA cannot give me a list of transactions and charges? Any good threads for reference?

3. MBNA SAR reminder - think I can find a template for this. And should I complain about them if no response by 40 day mark (this Friday)?

 

1 and 2 could go off today. Not sure about 3.

 

How would you play this?

Hi all,

 

UPDATE!!!!

 

Just received SAR response directly from MBNA (oc) on day 40. It only covers from 2004 (a/c opened in 1999) but the charges alone (without interest) amount to £1275

 

So it seems that the entire balance is indeed made up of charges

Quick question before I do the spreadsheet.

 

Most payments are 'overlimit' and 'late' fees but a few (not v significant of the £1275) are 'returned payment fees' ranging from £12 - £25. Can I iunclude the latter in my reclaim of should I leave these out?

that's what Arrow/Wilkin Chapman said Andy. This is direct SAR response from MBNA submitted before the claim form was issued

Right - I have entered all charges on to the spreadsheet that IMS posted on here. HERE ARE THE RESULTS

 

TOTAL OF CHARGES £ 1,300 TOTAL COMPOUND INTEREST £ 3,300TOTAL CLAIM £ 4,600

 

Before Jul 06, all charges were £25 and totalled £900 (£3519 with compounded interest at 24.95%), then they went down to £12 pewr charge (I presume because of the OFT guidelines than came out back then) - which makes up the rest of the balance.

 

What now folks?
