    • So I am now in receipt of a second Letter of Claim this time from DCBL although their letter head now says " DCBLegal"  😱 Now I'm guessing one response to a letter of claim is sufficient and I could ignore this but having been inspired by other snotty letters I wanted to have another bash at one. How does this sound? Dear Lackeys of Company with Unconscionable Morals, Thank you ever so much for gracing me with yet another Letter Before Claim on behalf of Excel Parking Services. How many of these delightful missives do you plan on sending before you muster the courage to follow through on your threats to take me to court? Just so we're clear, here is the response (in italics by that I mean the slanted text below) I previously sent to Excel’s Letter Before Claim, in case your attention to detail is as lacking as I suspect: I am currently 2-0 up in terms of Small Claims Court proceedings and I look forward to the opportunity to claim a hat trick, this case being more straightforward than my previous two. I will be asking the court for an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g) due to your conduct over this absurd claim. Despite my best efforts, you continue to assert that I have breached your terms. However, I cannot breach terms that I was not present to accept. Have you even read my initial response? I suggest you review it thoroughly and save yourself some money. Additionally, please refer to section 13 of the IPC Code of Practice, 2023 edition. I eagerly await your deafening silence. Remarkably, I haven't heard a peep from Excel since my response; instead, they've passed the baton to you to perform this tiresome routine once more. Consider this my official notice that I am sending a cease and desist letter to Excel Parking Services. Their relentless hounding has crossed the line into clear harassment. Any further demands for payment from you, as Excel's lackeys, will be regarded as nothing more than shameless acts of intimidation and harassment. I now look forward to the deafening sound of your silence. Yours sincerely,
    • Personally I'd go to it and object for the sake of it. They have to attend anyway so I can't see you being liable for any costs or anything (if they try to ask for attendance costs, just say that firstly it is their application, secondly it is from their own making, thirdly that they would have to come anyway so you shouldn't need to bear their costs.   When you turn up you should object on the basis that the witness has been in office since the time of the order, and could have done their witnes statement in advance of their AL. Their poor planning is not your fault, 7 days is too rushed for you as a LIP and there is no good reason that a company can't organise itself to sort WX in time. Also they say finalise so they already have something, its not like thye have nothing. Their amendments cannot be so important if they are being added so late.   see what @AndyOrch says but that's my thoughts  
    • Yes, in the main your understanding of my case is right. Linked below to the post with the final WS sent to the court and to Evri.   
    • Hello, welcome to CAG. As you say, appealing this ticket doesn't help as these people hardly ever accept appeals. They don't care how difficult someone's life is, they just want the money. The forum guys should be along later with thoughts for you on how to deal with this. Best, HB

    • 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.

No..... if the claimant does not respond to the defence within 28 days it is stayed...nothing to do with disclosure at this stage.

Today I have received a letter from Bryan Carter stating that the claimant wishes to proceed with the claim at this time,

 

the claimant agrees in principle to mediation.

 

We should also be grateful to hear from you in relation to without prejudice negotiation and you may contact us on (tel no)

 

to that they have attached another letter in their headed paper to the court manager stating;

 

Thank you for providing us with the claimants defence.

 

Our instructions are that the claimant wishes to proceed with the claim.

 

We look forward to hearing from the court with directions.

 

As of yet they have provided me with not one piece of paperwork requested by the CPR 14!

 

does this mean that request is a waste of time and what happens next?

 

surely they have to provide these forms if they wish to proceed!:?

The claimant is not obliged to disclose anything pre trial..the CPR is a civil request for both parties to clarify matters...they will have to disclose at the appropriate stage leading to trial....game of cat and mouse and they hope you will either throw in the towel or lose your nerve by then....patience.

 

The fact that you have requested and they have failed to comply is a plus to you the defendant in trying to clarify matters pre trial..the fact they have ignored it is further pressure for them to disclose...when the court orders them to.

 

Having said that a defence should not be purely based on whether the claimant can disclose or not.....but the alleged debt that they state is outstanding and now due.

We could do with some help from you.

I have received 2 letters today

 

1 from the court and

 

1 from Bryan carter

 

no 1; is notice of proposed allocation to the small claims track

- i must by 21 july complete the small claims directions questionnaire form n180 and

 

letter 2 from the solicitor

stating "without prejudice" confirming that their client is prepared to accept full payment either in full or monthly payments

in order to avoid either party incurring further costs,

 

if they do not hear from me they will apply to court to strike out my defence at hearing which if successful,

may result in further costs being payable by me!

 

any advice as to which step i should take next ?

Thank you

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

I dont actually have the form so would not know! assuming i need to go online to complete? received another letter from Bryan Carter today (guess ill be getting constantly bombarded now! funny they cant do that and supply the documents so promptly!) its a directions questionnaire - they have even completed the answers with pre printed ticks! i will not be sending this back!

JUST downloaded the correct form online - not their pre printed copy which they have very cleverly sent me! do you mind assisting me with a few questions - I want to get this right! I have said no to the case being referred for small claims mediation but "yes" to it being referred to the small claims track, I am guessing this is the way forward for me to defend this? thanks

That is their copy which they have submitted to court and copied you...you should reciprocate.......Copy to Court and a copy to them.

 

I would advise you to agree to mediation.

Thank you so basically agreeing to mediation means submitting a payment proposal? if so what was the purpose of requesting the paperwork with the CPR and if I originally disputed this with O2 - sorry just trying to get my head round which direction this is going?

No it does not ...its a means of narrowing of your differences with the possibility of avoiding trial.Any party which refuses to consider mediation will not stand in good light or if should costs be awarded may be reduced.

How have you gone on with this HighVelocity, did BC actually proceed with the Mediation Service ?

 

I'd like to know as they agreed at first but then pulled out of it stating they had nobody available, and I'm pretty much at the same stage as you.

 

 

Thanks

Hi

 

 

no I got lots of communication from Bryan Carter confirming the contract dates and no early termination fee!

 

 

they are in receipt of my defence and all that and kept pestering me to agree a payment scheme.

 

 

Yesterday i got a letter from the court stating it had been passed to the county court allocation hearing centre

and would be referred to a procedural judge who will allocate the claim to track and give case directions.

 

 

It has been passed to the local court so its a case of wait "wait out"
