    • No, reading the guidance online it says to wait for a letter from the court. Should I wait or submit the directions? BTW, I assume that the directions are a longer version of the particular of claim accompanied by evidence, correct?
    • Thanks for opening, it's been another rough year for my family and I've procastinated a little.. Due to the age of my defaults on this and other accounts (circa 2021), I really need to avoid a CCJ as that will be another 6 years of credit issues. Mediation failed as I played the 'not enough info to make a decision' however during the call for some reason they did offer settlement at 80%, I refused. this has been allocated to small claims track, court date is June 3 and I've received their WS. I'm starting on my WS. They do appear to have provided everything required of them (even if docs could be reconstructions). Not really sure what my argument is anymore but I do want to attend court and see this through. Should a judgement be made against me then I will clear the balance within 30 days and have the CCJ removed - this is still possible isn't it? I'm going to be reading up today and tomorrow and hope you can provide me some guidance in the meantime. Wonder what your advice would be given the documents they have provided? I am now in a position to clear the debt either by lump sum or a few large installments - Is this something i should look into at this late stage? Thanks as always in advance
    • I have now received my SAR. It includes a great deal of information! Is there a time limit on how long account information is kept and/or can be provided to debtors? I have received many account statements which were not previously sent to me. I remember that the creditor should provide explanations of any acronyms and abbreviations that maybe used in the documents. Is this still the case? Also what, if any, are the regulations in regard to adding fees to a debt? Can fees be added to a debt after the court has approved a charge on a property. Perhaps due to the numerous owners of the debt, many payments I made were not properly recorded on the account, some were entered over a year after the payment was made! Following the Legal Charge, I paid every month until my payments were refused. I am trying to compute the over payments, but the addition of fees etc. is confusing me. Any comments and/or help would be appreciated.

    • 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

I'm relatively new to the site and have actually managed to get my microfiche records from Abbey. I'm about to send the prelim letter but don't understand the interest bit. I'm probably being really stupid, but can someone explain it to me in simple terms?:confused:

 

TIA:-)

You dont need to add the interest on the prelim letter unless you are claiming contractual interest. I would just claim the standard 8% at the MCOL stage later in your claim should it go that far.:D

Hi and welcome,

i am claiming against abbey (just got my hearing date) and i still don't have the microfilche records either! As i understand it -when claiming interest you can choose between contractual interest (the same as they applied to your account, mine was 9.9%) or you can use statutory interest (8%). contractual interest can be applied from the prelim request whereas statutory can only be applied at claim stage. If you are using the simple spreadsheet template from the library then the last colomn may be changed to show this interest rate. Hope this helps, it is hard to put this simply. Make sure you read as many faqs as you can to increase your knowledge and therefore strengthen your case. Good luck.

I only received the microfiche records today and funnily enough it is day 39!

I'm only(!) claiming £410 so I think I'll skip the interest.

Good Luck with your claim.

Haven't posted for ages, but we're up to the gesture of goodwill stage (£35 for my claim of £523 - they're obviously having a laugh, as someone who only claimed £300 got £50).

Going to send the LBA letter and thank them for the partial payment.

I wonder if today's publicity is going to make any difference to how the banks handle these claims?

Hi everyone.

Happy New Year to you all!

Sent off my LBA before Christmas, hoever didn't send it recorded delivery. ShAbbey seem to be ignoring me or they haven't received the letter. Should I give them a quick call to check they have got it? Officially their 7 days were up on 25/12.

Hi All

Obviously I haven't posted for ages but I have got my Court Date for Abbey.

I now need to supply a schedule of charges, Copies of the relevant statements and a statement of my own evidence - is this the basic court bundle?

This claim is taking on epic proportions - it took ages from filing the allocation questionnaire to get to this stage!

Thank you CJ.

I must admit that this claim has taken so long I thought there might have been some general ruling that would mean I didn't have to go this far.

 

I'm not sure which statement of evidence to use though. Their defence refers to Conditions and the contract (point 3) and penalty charges in point 8. No doubt this is a pretty standard defence and someone else will have seen it.

Back again.

 

Tried to find an incidence of going a tint amount over the OD limit and can only find one with the balance that actually doesn't show the amount going over the limit - it's one of those mysterious something must have been in transit ones that I'm sure all Abbey customers are familiar with.

Should I use that - these rest are on microfiche and don't show the balance.
