    • I suggested consideration of bankruptcy some years ago. It was not well received.
    • That is a superb WS. However, I have a few tweaks to suggest. In (2) "indicating" not "indication". I think to be consistent with your numbering, in (6) the Beavis case should be EXHIBIT 2. Do you really need to include over 100 pages of Beavis?  I think that would be likely to annoy the judge.  Just try and find the bit where they decide it was not a penalty due to having an interest in limiting the time that vehicles can stay. I'll have a look myself for this bit later as it's highly likely to be in WSs from PPCs who think that that paragraph means all their charges are valid always on every occasion. After your current (7) add this.  It's always useful to refer to a judgment when making a legal point - 8.  In the case PCM vs Bull, Claim No. B4GF26K6, where the Defendant was issued parking tickets for parking on private roads with signage stating “No parking at any time”, District Judge Glen in his final statement mentioned that: “the notice was prohibitive and didn’t communicate any offer of parking and that landowners may have claim in trespass, but that was not under consideration”.   In (14) if my maths are right the CPR request should be "EXHIBIT 3".  it is missing from your list of exhibits. In (16) the two figures should be £100 and £170.  They are entitled to increase fro,m £60 to £100, they are not entitled to increase to £170.  To make it clear for the judge I would write - 16. The Claimant has artificially inflated their claim for a £100 invoice to £170. This is simply a poor attempt to circumvent the legal costs cap at small claims. 17. The Claimant has also invented a second fictitious charge, for legal representative's costs, when they have no legal representative. You also need ot number your exhibits. The rest is excellent - well done.
    • Did you ever think of walking away? Become bankrupt and in 12 months it'll all be behind you. My feeling is that you may well get nothing from the sale of the property anyway. Going by the date this thread started it looks like eight years of arrears, lender's costs and receiver’s fees on top.
    • Just to clarify - I make use of evening legal clinics. It is not always possible to see a lawyer (they have limited time and days/week).  This means questions one has may never get answered or there's weeks between follow-ups.   To be really clear - I am representing myself; I am playing at being lawyer/ barrister - which means I take help wherever I can get it (and then research it thoroughly). Ae - a judge in a recent hearing pointed out the receiver is not part of my current proceedings - and suggested I have a separate claim v the receiver. Disclosure has presented damning evidence v the receiver  The receiver against whom I have a complaint is not part of the receiver governing body.   The receivership is in 2 names - a joint one.  My complaint is directed at whom I was told is the lead receiver.  The other named receiver IS a member of the governing body.  But he has now left the company.  And the lead receiver has retired - but is still a working consultant on my case.   All the evidence shows it was the 'lead' receiver who was doing all the  work/ the misbehaviour.   But if the appointment was 'joint' would I make a complaint against them both?    I am sure that wouldn't go down well with the other receiver who is at the beginning of his career. The law is very much against borrowers.   But the evidence against this receivership is crystal clear.   I just don't know how and to whom to complain.   The places I've tried so far don't offer much transparency

    • 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.

Today I received in which looks like usual fob off letter from barclaycard rejecting my initial claim for unfair charges totalling over £240.

 

All my charges were for £20 and a one-off charge of £40.

 

In their letter they state that their charges of £12 are in line with their actual and estimated costs etc and are printed on back of statements each month.

 

What next - do I reply mentioning the above statement and what I have been charged ?

 

Thanks for any help

Cheers SabreSheep

 

That was going to be my next question, I originally calculated fees plus compound interest - is that correct ? Or is there another certain spreadsheet that I should be using ?

 

Will also look at link :wink:

 

 

Will also look at these thanks. I got rejection letters on a couple of my Natwest Credit Cards last week.

 

They also mentioned referring to FOS if not happy with their decision. Is it correct that FOS will not entertain the complaint regarding credit card charges or will their stance change as per yesterdays announcement regarding underpaying by banks do you know ?

 

Cheers

Same letter as before if yuou are going to stick to your first claim. Just put at the top in big red letters LETTER BEFORE ACTION

 

First line I would add something like "I received your letter dated bla bla on the bla bla, the contents which are noted. I do not agree with your findings.

 

Copy Paste contents of orignal letter, edit to make sense

 

Then should be ok

Hi Baz,

 

Shelley's thread is a good example to read through. Also see this more recent case - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?368541-trancyb-vs-Barclaycard

 

TrancyB's thread includes mention of Sempra Metals and Kleinwort Benson being included in your PoC's.

 

Also, s.69 Stat'y Int't should only be claimed at 8% Simple Int't as the daily rate add-on after the claim is issued.

 

:-)

We could do with some help from you

Just to provide an up-date, I sent another letter to Barclaycard (before proceeding with lba) re unfair charges from 2004 - 2005 and I have now received their Final Response.

 

I have attached a copy of Barclaycard letter and should I now proceed with lba ?

 

After some financial difficulties some years ago, debt was passed to Apex Credit Management Ltd in which I have an agreed repayment plan in place.

 

Should I be contacting anyone else ?

 

Cheers

No need to contact or change anything else outside of BC for this debt.

BC will try and buy the debt back to offset some of the winnings.

 

Did you claim the charges and restitution in your lba~?

Hi Baz,

 

Send the LBA with an updated spreadsheet that includes interest to date.

 

That gives them a final 14 days, after which you file your claim with CCMCC without further notice.

Many thanks slick132 and will do.

 

Just another couple of questions, do I include all charges to date including those of £12 and what APR% do I use on relevant spreadsheet ?

 

Cheers

Hi Baz,

 

Include all charges to date on the spreadsheet.

 

Are you using the compound int't spready - if so, I would suggest 24.9%.

 

What spready did you send with your Prelim Claim letter - was is the simple in't one or the compound ?

Redo the compound int't spready to include ALL penalty charges (regardless of the amount) and use 24.9% as your nominal rate for interest in restitution.

 

Send them a further LBA with this spready and mention that you'll rely on relevant case law regarding restitutionary interest and (if relevant) charges older than 6 years.

I originally had a repayment plan in place with Barclaycard in which was passed to DCA.

 

I currently receive a monthly payment allocation statement advising balance of debt less monthly amount. Is this suffice in order to comply with what is required ?

 

I have never received any annual statements showing complete allocated payment details.

 

Thanks again.

You should receive an annual 'statement of account' which tells you how much has been paid and how much remains.

 

Who is the DCA chasing this?

Are you paying them or sharklaycard?

 

How did the debt come about?

How much?

When did you take the card out?

Have you reclaimed all fees/charges and PPI?

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

2001, definitely do a CCA request.

 

OK I will do now but should I continue making monthly payment until response received ?

 

Should I state that they have also failed to provide annual statement showing all payments made ?
