    • Sunak actually nailed it in his boring speech yesterday  Starmers only offering is vote to be depressed  Just about sums up lefties  Humourless and Depresive🤣
    • Ah ok I will see if we receive it in the post tomorrow before I go to work. We want to see theirs so we know what documents they will list ? If their N265 is not received then best to send ours so that we do not miss the claimants deadline as per their draft directions.  What would happen if we did miss the deadline even by 1 day ? The claimant would use it against us in court ?  I scanned and posted in #159 the claimants continuation sheet attached to the N244 where they give a background of the case and reference e-mails etc. After this I will continue to work on the WS which is also causing me anxiety. This will also be used to object to their SJ application. I will advise tomorrow if anything else is received.  
    • Last September our 2019 plate Motorhome went to Brownhills of Newark for its annual habitation check/service. Whilst on their site for the day one of their drivers managed to drive it into a lamp post and put a 2m long scratch down the side of the body. They didn't own up to the damage, but luckily we noticed it before leaving the site, at which point the admitted fault and said they would fix it in house rather than go through the insurance. As they are an authorised Motor home repairer etc we agreed to this and a time frame of 3 weeks was given for the repair, which was booked in for late November. It could not be booked in sooner for the repair as we had a weekends away etc booked with the vehicle until mid November.  3 weeks, and a simple re-spray has now evolved to 18 weeks of them having the vehicle, due to the spray job having to be done 3 times, a window seal not been re-fitted correctly, leading to rain water pouring into the van and the replacement decals been applied wrong twice & having to be re-ordered from Elddis who originally built the camper. We finally got the vehicle back in late April, still minus 1 of the decals. Back in March we had an email from Brownhills asking what compensation we would accept due to the delays in returning the vehicle to us (They have had it for 18 weeks instead of the initial 3 weeks which was agreed). Once we finally got the vehicle back we told them what we expected (the value that the camper has depreciated by in the extra 15 weeks they have had it and which time we were unable to use it). They are now refusing to honour any compensation and are only offering us a free service for when this is due in September. Legally where do we stand?  Obviously we are not taking it back to them for a service, given that last time they managed to crash it and its taken so long for them to make such a simple repair. We are considering legal action, but are not really sure under what grounds/legislation we could claim. Any advice would be much appreciated.
    • Usual alarmist tripe from the Guardian exposed🤣     Many of the ‘Climate Experts’ Surveyed by the Guardian in Recent Propaganda Blitz Turn Out to be Emotionally-Unstable Hysterics – The Daily Sceptic DAILYSCEPTIC.ORG Last week, the Guardian published a survey of 383 'climate experts' and – shock – many of them turned out to be... The Guardian last week published its survey of ‘climate experts’. The results are a predictable mush of fire-and-brimstone predictions and emotional incontinence. This stunt may have convinced those already aligned to the newspaper’s ideological agenda to redouble their characteristically shrill rhetoric, but encouraging scientists to speculate and emote about the future of the planet looks like an act of political desperation, not scientific communication.

    • 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 hillards,

 

I've been thinking whats the best way to do my claim, online or by post?

 

Because if littlwoods mess up like they did in your case, I can call a judgement faster online.

 

Thanks

Andrew

It's usually advised to claim by post as you cannot fit all the wording of the POC onto the online form.

 

To be fair, it wasn't Shop Direct who messed up, it was the court. Long story but something went wrong and SD eventually got a set aside, despite settling based on the default court order.

 

The limits are the same for online and postal claims, regardless of the method. You would still have to call the court to check before you could claim judgment by default, and I doubt the same circumstances would apply.

Hi hillards,

 

I've just got a few questions on filling in the N1 form.

 

 

In the "Claimant(s) name(s) and address(es) including postcode" do I just put my name & address then Shop Direct Ltd & the address i've got for them?

 

In the "Brief details of claim" do I just put something like, I am claiming back unlawful penalty charges plus restitutionary interest to Shop Direct?

 

Is the value what I'm claiming plus the interest on the day I post the N1 form?

 

Thanks

Andrew

The CAB have a good guide at: http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/wales/consumer_w/consumer_taking_action_e/consumer_legal_actions_e/consumer_going_to_court_e/consumer_taking_court_action_e/step_three_filling_in_the_claim_form.htm

 

You are the claimant, just your details in that box.

 

They are the defendant, so their details in the next box. Make sure it is the head office (legal) address: Shop Direct Ltd, Skyways House, Speke Rd, Speke, Liverpool, Merseyside L70 1AB

 

I would not put 'unlawful charges'. I really don't want to word the claim for you but it should be something along the lines of 'the defendant applied charges to the account which I believe were unfair (because)... " and mention the 2006 statement by the OFT on what constituted fair charges. I've done several of these now and every one is different so I can't even suggest a basic template. I've also added "A letter before action was sent on Xxx 00 2015, the defendant failed to respond to this."" on a couple, where it applies

 

Value: Mine have been on the lines of "£000.00 of charges plus £000.00 interest in restitution at 00.0%, the rate they applied at the time these charges were made. (As at 00/00/15, increasing by 0.0000% per day until settled)." If you're not asking for a set interest rate in restitution then just put the value of the charges. Just how the 8% is worked out I do not know as I've not had a claim without a set rate.

My credit card charges reclaims were worded as follows

 

"Money Claim for return of credit card account default charges and interest in restitution on those charges."

 

 

Simples. Any other detail is for your POC and witness statements

If you never sent the N1 form off, you could recommence your claim

 

Start with an updated LBA giving them 14 days to respond positively then put in your N1

Hi everyone

 

I sent a letter to BW Legal to let them know I was planning to take littlewoods to court but they have gone ahead anyway.

 

I've only today found out that they have sent court papers to my old address.

 

The claim form says issue date 08/09/2015. I got a notice from BW Legal telling me what they've done dated the 09/09/2015.

 

It's been ages since I last looked at what I would need to do in court.

 

I want to get as much time as I can to research again.

 

I want to send the Acknowledgment of service off.

 

Should I put my new address on the AOS and send it with a letter explaining why there's a different address?

 

Also when sending the AOS do I cut the response pack bit off using the dotted line?

 

Would really like some help with this.

I want to see if I can get Legal aid on this case,

because I'm only on benefits and can't afford aid.

 

I will upload the claim form so you can see what they've said.

 

Many Thanks

Andrew

I left sending it a bit late and couldn't find my spread in time, so I just sent the following.

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

I am in receipt of your letter relating to the above account. I would like to make you aware that I am currently seeking legal advice from my local citizens advice bureau about taking Littlewood’s to small claims court over unfair fees that amount to over £400 with 8% interest.

 

I am also drafting my LBA letter for Littlewood’s and will be sending it in due time. I would suggest that you hold off on court proceedings until the outcome of my case with Littlewood’s.

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

 

I sent it second class recorded delivery on the 08.09.2015, they received it on the 09.09.2015.
