    • yes might be the best idea. you'd only at best get 8% flat interest and that unusual on a GOGW if this was what it was. simply contact the FOS and let them know its resolved. dx  
    • If you’ve ever wondered how you might fare in armed combat, the first 20 minutes of Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan is likely to make you thank your lucky stars you were born too late to storm the Normandy beaches on June 6 1944. I suspect many of us might be driven to identify with those men who were absolutely turned to stone by fear. And yet these young men, mainly conscripts, screwed their courage to the sticking point and did the job the fate had chosen for them, heroes all.   .. UK PM Sunak perhaps thinks he understands mind numbing fear better than many as he dishonorably fled the beachhead to do nothing more than double down on dishonest spin and lies from the safety of a UK studio .. The Normandy heroes who not only held their positions, but advanced through hell to a victory that changed the entire course of history .. undoubtedly hold a different perspective.     from a perspective in TheConversation     ..

    • Yes, send a message to the purchaser but keep it very friendly and simply that you noticed that the package has now been delivered.  I suggest that you ask them if they want to keep the package still or if they would rather return it and that if they want to keep it then please will they return your payment to you to your PayPal address. Keep it as polite and friendly as possible and then we will decide what to do if he doesn't reply or refuses.  Meanwhile I will have a look at Google earth and see if you are able to spot the gas meter outside the house to get an idea if the delivery is real.

    • Santander have sent their final response and have agreed that they were in the wrong. They will be refunding me the amount I am due and £50 for the delay.  Just the interest factor would be more than double the £50 that they are offering. Thinking to just close this and move on. Is this what you would do?  Opened a FOS case on the 1st of June but haven't heard back yet. 
    • It just been delivered and ive had a live chat with p2g to get some proof of deliverey and they send me a picture of the parcel placed in a gas meter box which they class as a ' 'Safe Place'  and not placed into the hands of the buyer which is either a good thing as the buyer can claim he never received It so i can claim against p2g or a bad thing . Do p2g have coordinators when taking pictures and scanning of parcels ?  I know Royal Mail do ... I'm going to send the buyer a message and see what he says

    • 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.

Many thanks, Ganymede... I have also found this, which explains it in terms that I can more easily understand;

 

DEFENDING A CLAIM

APRIL 30, 2014 LUCY BRITT

 

If a claim has been issued and served on you, you can either accept the claim against you (admitting that the claim is true, which might mean that you accept you have to compensate the person bringing it) or defend all or part of it. If you wish to defend all or part of the claim you must file a ‘defence’. A defence is a document that sets out why you say you are not liable or not at fault when the claimant has stated that you are.

If you fail to file a defence within 14 days of receiving the claim form, or within 28 days if you have filed an acknowledgement of service, the claimant can ask the judge to accept their claim automatically, because you have not denied it within the timeframe.

That may have serious consequences for you, so you should respond as soon as you can if someone makes a claim against you.

 

The defendant did not acknowledge and his defence was filed and served 31 days after my claim was served... so is out of time as I understand it.

Has the Court accepted the Defence?

 

If so, tough. Your application for default judgment will be rejected.

I have no idea whether the court has accepted the defence... but it was only 3 days ago and I'd already requested default judgement... I suppose it's in limbo at the moment... but do you agree the defendant has not complied with CPR... or am I wrong? TB

Call the Court.

 

Yeah they probably have technically. However, if the Court received the Defence before or at the same time as your request for judgment then it will be accepted and you'll just have to carry on with the Court process.

So… I emailed the court, asking what was happening as the silence was deafening, and they have written back saying that the defendant acknowledged the claim on 18 August… more than a month ago.

 

Does the court usually let parties know the status of a claim? Or must we constantly chase it up… it freaks me out a bit when there is a long silence as I always think I should be doing something and am running out of time...

 

Between acknowledgement and defence was 22 days… I'm wondering if that conforms with CPR re time limitations?

Should be 14 days between AoS and defence...and 33 days in total for service.

We could do with some help from you.

The Court has accepted the Defence so time to move on and focus on the next stage.

why we suggested awhile ago (at least from my post #69) checking with the court. yours wasnt mcol. 33 days from claim issue date to submit a defence if AofS.

as ganymede says, if the court had their defence prior to your application being actioned, then their defence is likely to be accepted. though you can raise the matter re lateness, if it was.

Thanks, guys. I guess I must move on, then. I am not sure whether to counter-defend... if I decided to do so, would it need to be before the Directions Questionnaire is received?

The defence is flimsy and a bare denial of any guilt.

Thanks Andy... there was 23 days between their acknowledgement and defence...I thought they only had 14 days after acknowledging...

Claim Served 10 Aug.

Acknowledged 18 Aug. (Apparently, although I was not informed of it by the court).

Defence served 9 Sept.

There is no such thing as "counter defend."

 

You can file a Reply to Defence if you choose to but unless they're raising new issues it's not worth it for a straight up denial.

There are some questions on the DQ which I don't understand..... can anyone help me, please? TB

Oh yeah... some great news from one of my 'witnesses'... he has written to say that he won't be providing me with a signed statement as he plays golf with the defendant and doesn't want to 'cause any friction' at the golf club...

(I think the Def has probably paid his membership fees).

Should I keep this and show it to the court... or will they not give a flying fortress?

Hi Ganymede...

 

Most of them, if I'm honest, but especially Practice Direction 31B, (Disclosure of electronic documents)... I've tried to find out more but all the info online seems to be written with lawyers in mind... if they need help with this, what hope is there for me?!

Also found this;

 

What happens if I do not comply with the CPR requirements in respect of electronic documents?

Whilst use of the EDQ is not mandatory, CPR PD 31B is couched in obligatory terms. Further, in relation to non-PI claims proceeding on the multi-track, compliance with CPR PD 31B is required where any documents to be disclosed are electronic (CPR 31.5(9). As such, a failure to comply may result in sanctions and/or wasted costs being awarded against your client or your firm. If mis-management is sufficiently serious, disciplinary action from the Solicitors Regulatory Authority could follow.

 

Oh dear... sooo confused! TB
