    • Hi. Could you post up what they've sent please so we can see what the charge is? Cover up your name and address and their reference number. HB
    • I've looked through all our old NPE threads, and as far as we know they have never had the bottle to do court. There are no guarantees of course, but when it comes to put or shut up they definitely tend towards shut up. How about something like -   Dear Jonathan and Julie, Re: PCN no.XXXXX cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea that you actually expected me to take this tripe seriously and cough up. I'll write to you not some uninterested third party, thanks all the same, because you have are the ones trying to threaten me about this non-existent "debt". Go and look up Jopson v Homeguard Services Ltd, saddos.  Oh, while you're at it, go and look up your Subject Access Request obligations - we all know how you ballsed that up way back in January to March. Dear, dear, dear - you couldn't resist adding your £70 Unicorn Food Tax, you greedy gets.  Judges don't like these made-up charges, do they? You can either drop this foolishness now or get a hell of a hammering in court.  Both are fine with me.  Summer is coming up and I would love a holiday at your expense after claiming an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to your deafening silence.   That should show them you're not afraid of them and draw their attention to their having legal problems of their own with the SAR.  If they have any sense they'll crawl back under their stone and leave you in peace.  Over the next couple of days invest in a 2nd class stamp (all they are worth) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above

    • 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 for clearing that up Glenn........but just 1 last question and I think I will be 100% clear :)

 

the dailsy 20% interest is that added from the date of the first charge i.e 6 years ago? Because if it is then I would basically be taking may £1401 current total and more than doubling it?!?

 

As a rough figure without doing the daily monthly compounding etc my claim would be about (810+591 =) £1401 * 120% = £3082

 

After the compounding it would work out even more, is this right or am I getting carried away here?

 

p.s sorry its taken alot of explaining for me to get to grips with this :D

I think the best way to grasp it is like this

 

we will cal the unlawful charge 'z' and the interest you paid 'y' and the compound interest 'I'.

 

On day one you get

 

(z + y) x I = gives a new total, for day one, lets call it D1

 

On day two you get

 

D1 x I = D2

 

On day three

 

D2 x I = D3, etc etc.

 

The best way to work it out is to use one of the spreadsheets provided for the purpose by Vampiress or MINDZAI both of which can be downloaded from their respective signatures.

 

I used the one by MINDZAI and fount it straight forward and easy to use, and finally it can make a huge difference especially for charges imposed along time ago. I am claiming some from the early part of 1997 from abbey, :-)

Well, MBNA phone today and offered the last bit of my claim the day before the 14 days acknowledgment period was required.

 

Just waiting for the cheque before I inform the court.

 

Result

 

But on £300 of charges I got over £1000 paid out (well they said the cheque will be posted today).

 

check my MBNA link in the signature for more info. I would advise not to call them at the inital stage as I increased that offer by a further 100% of my claim by going to the MCOL stage.

 

they paid the charges

compound interest at 16% to court date £350

5% compound on lost interest for savings £160

£70 for my time

£30 expences

£80 court fee

OH AND THE ORIGINAL £300 CHARGES.

Cantsay, its your thread isn't it? Ha ha ha totally hijacked by everyone else and what a big help too. Tell you what any of you with munchkins out there may have watched the incredibles where Robert Parr after losing his superhero status helps everyone through the system.

 

I think Paul Miney deserves a christmas card!

 

They have probably started to threaten him now.

Out of interest, although not wanting to hijack someone else's thread but everyone else seems to be :D if I don't need to send a DPA request should I try phoning them first with a total of the charges and estimated interest and see what they say?

If you do this they will send you what they want not what your entitled to.

 

As others have proven they have lost out claiming interest on top of what they have paid in charges and interest on those charges, mainly because they think MBNA are doing them a favour.

 

YOu are entitled to claim for

 

the charges

the interest you paid as a result of those charges

interest on all the above at the contractual rates,

plus costs incurred as a result of the claim.

SAR Fee, postage, time etc.

Thanks. I didn't know we could claim the SAR fee back which is nice.

 

I've worked out £140 of charges in the last 6 months using their online statments but I'm going to do a DPA first and hope it doesn't take too long to come through.

I can't believe how easy this has been for everyone with MBNA. Really can't wait to send my stuff off this weekend.

 

Makes you wonder if this Miney guy just spends all his time answering the phone to people wanting charges back. What a job!

Not sure if you can claim for these:

 

plus costs incurred as a result of the claim.

S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) Fee, postage, time etc.

 

as you usually cannot claim for costs in the small claims court. However, if you can get away with it then go for it.
