    • Last month was confirmed to be the hottest-ever May on record, in terms of global average temperatures, completing an entire calendar year of month-by-month records.  The average temperature last month was 1.52C above the pre-industrial average, according to the Copernicus Climate Change Service, known as C3S. The average global temperature for the 12-month period to the end of May was 1.63C (2.9F) above the pre-industrial average
    • This time you do need to reply to them with a snotty letter to show you'd be big trouble for them if they did try court. We will help this evening.  
    • Hi, I just wanted to update the post and ask some further advice  I sent the CCA and CPR request on the 14th May, to date I have had no reply to the CCA but I received a load of paperwork from the CPR request a few days ago. I need to file the defence today and from the information I have read the following seems to be what is required.  I would be grateful if some one could confirm suitability. Many thanks   Claim The claim is for the sum of £255.69 due by the Defendant under an agreement regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974 for a PayPal account with an account reference of xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)  The Defendant failed to maintain contractual payments required by the agreement and a Default Notice was served under s.87(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 which has not been complied with. The debt was legally assigned to the claimant on 15-09-21, notice of which has been given to the defendant. The claim includes statutory interest under S.69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at a rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of issue of these proceedings in the sum of £0.00. The Claimant claims the sum of £255.69   Defence  The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 1. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have had financial dealings with PayPal  in the past but cannot recollect the account number referred to by the Claimant. 2. Paragraph 2 is denied. I am not aware of service of a Default Notice by the original creditor the Claimant refers to within its particulars of claim.  3. Paragraph 3 is noted. On the 17/5/2024 I requested information related to this claim by way of a Section 77 request, which was received and signed for by the claimant on 20/5/2024. As of today, the Claimant has failed to respond to this request, and therefore remains in default of the section 77 request and therefore unable to enforce any alleged agreement until its compliance. 4. Therefore it is denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, and the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) Show how the Defendant has entered into an agreement and: (b) Show the nature of the breach and evidence by way of a Default Notice Pursuant to s.87(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. 5. Paypal (Europe) S.A.R.L is out of the juristriction of English Courts. 6. As per Civil Procedure 16.5 it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 7. By reason of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed, or any relief.
    • Thanks @dx100ukI followed the advice given on here... then it went very quiet!  The company was creditfix I think then transferred to Knightsbridge (or the other way around) The scammer independent advisor was Roger Wallis-having checked his LinkedIn profile just this morning, it does look like he's still scamming vulnerable people... I know I was stupid for taking his advice, but i do wonder how many others he has done this to over a longer period of time (it came as a  massive shock to him when our IVA suddenly failed). Lowell have our current address (and phone numbers if the rejected calls over the past couple of days is anything to go by!) No point trying the SB because of the correspondence in 2019? Thanks
    • I have received the following letter from BW Legal today.  Also includes form if I admit the debt and wanting my income details.  Do I reply to this LETTER OF CLAIM please?  Looks like they are ready for court now??  Thank You BW Legal - Letter of Claim.pdf

    • 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.

How are they allowed to block the IMEI - Who will pay for the replacement mobiles and if you don't mind, what is the combined cost of the mobiles?

i know its very petty what they have done but i have sent them a nasty letter listing my costs to date to replace the phones compensation for lack of use and my time i have charged at £90 per hour so they now owe me more than i owe them

 

should it go to court i will counter claim with the amount, or if it doesnt i will take them to court for it

this was posted on MSE a very interesting email

 

"Thank you for your email.The written notice that was issued in early April 2013 was sent without knowledge of what the actual March RPI figure would be until published on 16 April 2013, however, this increase in charges is not an increase above the published month March RPI figure of 3.3% and does not give the customer a right to cancel. This was a risk that we took as a business as to what figure would be published on 16 April 2013 but that was our risk to take as a business and does not give the customer the right to cancel. As a business we anticipated the RPI figure for March, if it had been lower than expected customers would have been entitled to cancel their contracts but as this is not the case, cancellation of your contract without penalty is declined.As you have reached the end of our escalation process, if you wish to take this matter further you will need to seek external advice.Yours sincerelyJonathan BaillieExecutive Office, EE"

I'd already come to the conclusion that for my pre-October contract it was too high risk to pursue a Cancellation due to an increase in excessive of RPI. I feel T-Mobile would win in Court with such a Rationale. ie. there's nothing to stop them using Mystic Meg for determining a suitable figure should they choose, as long as it is not in excess of the RPI for the 12 months prior to the Written Notice.

 

Should they use that Rationale then I'd expect their Shareholders to vote them off the Board since they are taking a 50:50 gamble on a very large loss for a very small gain (0.1%) and if I were a Shareholder I wouldn't feel that that is the sort of Financial Management I was looking for.

 

I do feel that anyone that Cancelled before 16.04 would likely win their dispute since T-Mobile made it that Time was of the Essence in relation to the Cancellation stating it should be immediate.

 

I'm still perusing Cancellation for my post-October Contract where I feel there is no risk.

i agree to try and cancel now could be risky i did cancel before the 16th so i will fight them if it comes to it.

 

I see the press are now looking into it so anything might happen but to admit to it being a guess cant stand up in court the facts are the fig they quoted was not correct at the time it was posted.

No, how it was worded it was a good will gesture

 

i think they knew if i took it to court for blocking my phones they would loose so they combined it all together

 

its typical a good will gesture is the bog standard cop out of guilt

but i think the only reason i have won is they blacklisted as stolen my personal telephones then denied doing it, but with the letter i had from my new suppier proving they did it, they were going to loose the fight, much more simple to give in and i will go away

  • 3 months later...

If it is of any interest to people here, I have just had a decision from Cicas the adjudication scheme in my favour. I had renewed my contract for 24 months in Nov and got the price increase letter in April. I won because the adjudicator decided that my "price plan" was the price I had negotiated and not the double notional price that TM thought it was (with "loyalty discount"). Therefore if you have a "discount" and have tried to cancel you will almost certainly win via cisas. THe adjudicator was also "mindful" of the 3.2/3.3% business, so I think this may work.

However all this cost t-Mobile is a customer leaving. It would be good if someone took them through the courts so they would have to pay costs.

 

If anyone is interested I have the detailed decision which I can email if you wish.

Thanks for posting this. I had posted on the MSE thread a link to what I assume is your case being discussed on You and Yours.

 

There may be some more people over there interested in the detail so I'll update that post to include a link back to here (if it works)

I have taken T-Mobile to small claims as they did not replied for my cancellation letter for two months (even when I was sending reminders) and when I had sent 3rd reminder they refused to cancel the contract. I have supported my claim in 2 ways - first of all 3.2% vs. 3.3% - in their reply they mentioned they use the factor published as closely as possible before the date they send the letters (so 3.2% should be effective) and the fact that I received notification after 15th April so less than 30 days before the changes went live. When asked for a proof of delivery etc. there were unable to provide it.

 

I have tried to send you PM @smewing but I have not enough posts :(
