    • I doubt HMCTS holds any data on whether arrests by AEAs required police assistance.  They couldn't or wouldn't provide data on how many of warrants issued were successfully executed - just the number issued!  In my experience, arrest warrants whether with or without bail are [surprisingly] carried out with little or no fuss.  I think it's about how you treat people - a little respect and courtesy goes a long way. If you treat people badly they will react the same way. Occasions when police are called to assist are not common and, having undertaken or managed many thousands of these over the years, I can only recall a handful of occasions when police assistance was necessary. On one occasion, many years ago, I arrested and transported a man from Hampshire to Bristol prison on a committal warrant. It was just me and he was no problem. I didn't know the Bristol area (pre Sat Nav) and he was kind enough to provide directions - seems he knew the prison.  One young chap on another committal warrant jumped out of his back window and I had to chase him across several garden fences.  When he gave up (we were both knackered) I agreed to drive by his girlfriend's house to say farewell for a while.  I gave them a few moments and he was fine. The most difficult are breach warrants but mainly in locating the defendant as they don't want to go back to prison - can't blame them.  These were always dealt with by the police until the Access to Justice Act transferred responsibility from them to the magistrates' courts. The fact was the police did not actively pursue them and generally only executed them when they arrested someone for something else and found they had a breach warrant outstanding.  Hence the transfer of responsibility.
    • thats down to mcol making that option available for you to select, you cant force it. typically if there are known processing delays at northants bulk it will be atleast 14 days later if not more.

    • nope, as the display model was not the colour the customer wanted. but your question is totally immaterial anyway as custom built doesn't come into it. dx
    • as long as aos is done by day 19 from the date on the claimform they get a total of 33 days to file a defence. (whereby the date top right on the claimform is ONE in the 33 day count) dx

    • 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 this is mine:

 

20/09/06 - AoS LCB/MJM

 

13/10/06 - Defense covering letter AMB

13/10/06 - Actual written defense signed by LCB

 

18/10/06 - 50% offer LCB/EPG

 

21/10/06 - Notice defense filed (from court) LCB/MJM

 

3/11/06 - Full offer LCB/LZD

 

7/11/06 - Copy of their AQ LCB/JLZB (received after cheque)

 

You can see how messed up mine was with the order of things I also never got a CPR18....have no idea why cos at the time everyone else was. I know who LCB is as she signed her full name on the Defense other than that everyone else works off initials and a squiggle signature.

I was discussing with other NatWest claimants about the apprarent lack of any logical way in which we seem to be having payouts.

 

Ie it doesnt matter how much you are claiming for or for how long you have been claiming. And we were wondering if it was down to the particular solcitor we are dealing with.

 

So I thought out of interest I would start this thread to see if I could look up a sort of timeline (it may help or forewarn some of us, when to expect our money).

 

I would be grateful if you could post up the details regarding your particular contact in Cobbetts (their intials will be the first 3 after "Our Ref" on the letter.)

 

This is especially important if you have had a settlement.

 

Also If you have the full names and job titles that would also be apprecaited!!

 

Im not saying that there is any connection but it may be worth a look at (besides Im twiddling my thumbs until my day in court LOL!)

 

I will edit this post when I get more information from you all:

 

LCB = Lynsey Clare Burgoyne - Head of Banking Litigation

 

 

 

Allyxia

Claim £1460 Start (Prelim) 040906

Issued 190906

Defence 191006 From LCB

Offer £1100 241006 From LCB

AQ 061106 From LCB

 

Lynsey Burgoyne most certainly isn't the head of banking litigation at Cobbetts!!! She was only admitted to the law society about 2 years ago.

 

She is a junior solicitor in the department.

 

The banks wouldn't pay the high rate of a department head for a case like this.

Hi all

here are my details should it be of any assistance.

LCB

LZD

RR

Started my claim on 23 August 2006 for just over 3k Cobbetts LLP have paid up this morning however id did contact them last week to see where my acceptance to partial payment was they stated they were waiting for response from the bank. then 7 days later my cheque arrived. hope this is ok and the details you wanted.

 

I think this is LCB/LZD/RR.XXXXX?

 

LZD will be the secretary, paralegal. legal executive or trainee/more juinor solicitor assisting Burgoyne. I believe RR is just the client code/ref (i.e NatWest/RBS/RBS Group/Group Litigation/whatever) and the any number/code/alphanumeric ref after the "RR" will probably relate specifically to the individual case.

 

With some law firms the name of the partner who the fee-earner (Burgoyne and any junior solicitor/legal exec working under her) is working under comes first in the reference.

 

It will be more benificial if you quote the ENTIRE ref (excluding the bit after the RR, if you wish to retain some sort anominity).

Hi I believe main person is Lynsey Burgoyne she is the head of banking litigation she has the overall say regarding the claims and payouts.

 

No she isn't head of banking litigation. Goto the law society website you will see that she has only been admitted for about 2 years.

Most of mine have been LCB with the occasional AMB thrown in.

 

Interestingly though, the representative at the set aside hearing was one Emily Duckworth. I can't trace ever having had anything in writing from her.

 

Was she a solicitor or barrister? Cobbetts seem to love sending briefs.

Hi Allyxia,

By allocating LCB to approximately all cases presented against NatWest, Cobbetts concedes terrain to all the Claimants reclaiming charges from NatWest (in our cases). LCB is left with a cyclic administrative mission: printing out template letters. Cobbetts is a massive law firm with branches in Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester. If there was a loop to be exploited, their partners would have, by now, found one. All they can do is try to struck cases on technicality.

Well, dear LCB, if you read that, I am (we are) please you are dealing with our cases.

Is it worth looking at Cobbetts AQ Part G - Other Information? I wonder if this is standard stuff too?

 

Mine reads "Case Management directions cannot be proposed until the Claimant serves a reply to the Request for Further Information which was due on 8 November 2006. In light of this, the Defendant may amend its Defence or apply to strike out"

 

Is this unique to me or have they used it for everyone?

 

All the best!

Thats a very good idea madge - i was going to start to look at these on friday anyway.

 

I had that nonsence about CM direction as well - dont panic!!!

 

Maybe we could also start a thread on "nonsence requested by Cobblers in their defence or AQ" so If people get something they are not sure of or cobblers start to change they tack slightly in stead of eveyrone panicing they could just look up what has been said and what to do next!!!

 

If people could also add that info by editing their previous posts here (rather than starting a new one please).

 

It would save time rather than searching all the previous threads here which could be overwhelming!!!

Firstly, it would be a good idea to start your own thread, that way you can post up all your progress in the one place. It makes it little easier for everyone to keep track of what stage you're at.

 

With regards to your questions, have a read through this thread.

SBFIDO v Natwest

 

Claim Filed on 16/11/06 6QZ843@@

 

Defence filed by Lynsey burgoyne 29/11/06

 

Cobbetts Letter Received enclosing defence - with an admission to receiving my SAR and stating they acknowledged this with 4 letters and statements! mmmmmmm on a winner here as they also charged me an additional £5 for statements. No other infromation disclosed.

 

Reference RLM/RR

 

Do not accept charges unlawful blah blah blah.

 

Responded by return with nice letter stating they were attempting to intimidate by requesting information that was not relevant. FAXED AND POSTED TO COBBETTS BY RECORDED - They were received.

 

27/12/06 During telephone confirmation of receipt they denied receiving the information so stated that a signature had been obtained and a copy was being sent by royal mail.

 

When they offer F and F should I still pursue none disclosure and make them panic as this is part of my claim. Compensation ideas please as charges and none disclosure are the basis of my claim to the court, they have admitted receiving the SAR Request in there defence and responding with four letters. but 3 letters relate to statements and the final one said take legal action as they have complied ( Sorry started action prior to joining this site)

 

I would love judgement entered against them for this breach. Idea or should i include the fact when i accept the offer for F and F of claim. stating that i accept in full and final but will continue to pursue your failure under the Data Protection act as admitted in your defence.

 

Let me know hope this helps any advice would be useful and if this needs a new thread can a moderator assist please.

No more will I be bullied or harassed.

 

When informed that the call is recorded for training and monitoring I always say I don't want it used for training. :razz:

 

I always ask for the ICO registration information - they often dont have it, shame i never discuss my personal data unless I know they comply with the DPA.

 

Finally I always record calls and state at the start of there call. Although I don't have too.

AMB was dealing with my case. It took a month from Cobbettts/Natwest agreeing to pay in full to actually receiving payment. Leaving it till the last minute to pay me. It then takes 5 days for their own cheque to clear!!! In that time I had no choice then but to prepare my case for Court. It would be useful if there was a standard template to follow for Court preparation as I found this to be the most difficult part to prepare, the Court Bundle though helpful is not very specific. AMB proved to be very nice to talk to on the phone and I would recommend those of you at the stage of waiting payment ring regularly to chase through. I was even wished a Happy New Year. Which of course I will, having now received cheque for £2800.

Although it does vary from person to person most people are being settled between 33 - 40 days after the AQ deadline!

 

Bare in mind though if you get given a court date you will be settled before that.

 

This is just an average timeline so please dont start typing up if you have been settled shorter or longer as it will confuse matters for other people.
