    • The 3 pieces of mortar that fell on the same day, at the same time, were approx. 25-30cm long and weighed around ½-1 kilo each from a roof that is above the 2nd floor; they were by no means tiny pieces of mortar but large chunks falling from a rather great height. I believe the size and weight is enough to cause serious injury and if it falls on your head, I assume it could potentially be lethal if unlucky, but we don't wish to put that theory to test... We can't in good conscience let a contractor install a patio and a gazebo as it is in the exact spot where the mortar fell, nor do I think anyone would be willing to take the chance. Looking at the roof, there are multiple other remaining pieces from the same 'line' or 'row' of mortar that can potentially fall. The mortar is right underneath the slate tiles on the neighbour's roof and I don't know whether the tiles are also (becoming) lose due to the loss of the mortar. I was trying to upload a photo but it seems it's not allowed. The first contractor to work in our garden in preparation for the patio and gazebo is scheduled to start on 10th June, that leaves the neighbour 5 workdays to sort their roof which is unlikely, so it seems we will have to postpone our patio contractor without knowing when they can come back. We have already had extensive work done in the garden in preparation for the wedding reception and it will become very costly for us if we have to move the wedding reception to a venue (if we can even get one at this short notice) rather than have it at home which was our dream.
    • Is this sufficiant for a letter of claim  ? Letter Of Claim       Reference: Techzone Mobile Phones Samsung A71 Mobile Phone £140 Purchase date 29. 5. 24     I the claimant purchased a 2nd hand Samsung A71 mobile from Techzone Mobile Phone unit 10 of the indoor market at the Potteries shopping centre. Initially the phone worked well until I used the camera and found debris in the camera lens spoiling pictures making it not fit for purpose. I contacted the seller who offered a replacement which I initially accepted but later rejected and wanted a refund in full which the seller refused saying they Do Not give refund is unlawful and goes against the Consumer rights act 2015. Therefore I intend to issue proceedings against you in a county court without further notice unless you reimburse me the above amount in Full within 7 days from the date of this Letter     ------------------------------------------    I think its best if i hand him the letter as posting it might not get through so can claim expenses traveling up there ?   or would it be best to just post and get 'Signed for'  ?   Should i also put in the letter of claim interest added or leave that till the Particulars letter ?

    • Sorry to shatter your leftie dreams 🤣😂🤣😂     Donald Trump gets a SIX-POINT bump in approval after being found guilty on 34 counts according to snap Daily Mail poll: 'I think it was a waste of taxpayer money' WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK Teflon Don rides again, according to an exclusive poll for DailyMail.com which found that the guilty verdict in Manhattan... James Johnson, who conducted the poll, said Trump might be waking up as convicted felon but he was winning over the voters who matter.   Our snap poll of a representative sample of likely voters shows that for most Americans the trial has not changed their deep-set views of Trump,' he said.  'But amongst those who are open to changing their mind, people feel more positive by a margin of 6 points. That is outside of the margin of the error of the poll and we are saying that is significant. 'It extends to Independent voters too. Look at the explanations and it is clear why: people feel it was a politically motivated trial and view Trump as a "fighter" against what they see as injustice.

    • 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.

Just starting my thread, trying to claim £1507 + 213 interest.

 

Already sent 3 letters, got all the usual responses, and now I'm at the Issuing a claim part.

 

This site has been great so far, I will finalise my Moneyclaim details tonight and issue the claim tomorrow.

 

Will post each development.

 

Cheers

Well I've submitted my moneyclaim on line case tonight.

It cost £120 which I paid by mastercard.

 

Glad its done now, I'm pretty confident that I have all the calculations right as I've checked & checked again.

 

Quick question though, I have been reading some other cases etc., and for those people who have used the paper claim method rather than the online claim method, it suggests that they enclose 2 copies of their schedule of charges with their claim, however when I did my online claim tonight it did not give any option to do that. Is that normal or do I need to send my schedule of charges somewhere? however I have looked but I cant find anything.

 

Also What happens next? do I get an acknowledgement from the bank or court?

 

Cheers

Hi

If you do this:

Send 2 copies of your schedule of charges, clearly marked with your claim no. + a brief covering letter asking for them to be filed with your claim to:

The Court Manager,

Money Claim Online

Northampton County Court

21-27 St. Katharine's Street

Northampton

NN1 2LH

Dear Sir/Madam

(Your Name) –v- (Bank)

Claim No: ********

Date Issued: xx/xx/xx

Please find enclosed a schedule of penalty charges taken from me by the defendant, along with interest claimed at the annual rate of 8% pursuant to section 69 of the County Court Act. The interest in addition to the amount in charges equates to the total amount of my claim, namely £(AMOUNT).

I respectfully request that the enclosed schedule should be attached to the particulars of my claim.

Yours Faithfully

 

 

Then when they acknowledge your claim send the same to SCM (lloyds solicitors).

 

LTSB have 14 days from when the claim is served to acknowledge, and then a further 14 days to enter a defence.

Just recieved my acknowledgement through the post today.

It has the banks solicitors address on it

This should show them that I mean business.

 

I will keep you posted.

I've just checked the status of my moneyclaim online file and it has changed from acknowledged to defence.

 

it also says:-

 

You are unable to take any further action online on this claim.

The Defendant disputes the whole amount you have claimed. Your claim cannot proceed online and will be transferred to the appropriate court for continuation. You will receive confirmation to where the claim has been transferred to shortly

 

is this normal or should I worry?

 

Its starting to get a bit scary now.

 

Does this mean that I will get a court date now, also I have read that a lot of people get an allocation questionare which they have to pay for, is that the next stage for me. I'm a little confused.

 

Also one last question. I am going to be moving house soon, will that cause problems or should I just send a letter to moneyclaim and the bank just stating my new address.

 

Thank you in advance for your replies.

cheers for your reply.

 

Any advice on my house move, am I ok sending a covering letter to everyone or is there an administration fee to the court or something like that.

 

I am just hoping that someone who has perhaps been in a similar position can help.

 

Thanks

Its normal. Lloyds always file a defence.

 

You will now get a copy of it, which will more than likely be the 9 point "our charges are fixed price contractual services" nonsense. Should you recieve the 14 point "claim too vague" one, see the sticky thread at the top of the Lloyds forum.

 

With the defence you will also get an AQ to fill in and send back to the court. This carries a £100 fee, which you will get back in settlement. See the guide notes in the templates library for help with filling this in. You could also try a new approach as described in this thread -

Also one last question. I am going to be moving house soon, will that cause problems or should I just send a letter to moneyclaim and the bank just stating my new address.

Change your address with your local court - thats who will be dealing with your claim from now on.

 

It's worth having a good read of some of the "won" threads from the LTSB 'successes' forum. It'll give you a good idea of what to expect at every stage.

Well I've just filled in the allocation questionare, I will drive down and post it by hand tonight then I know that it has definately got there.

 

Cant wait for this to be resolved as I have now paid out two fees, £120 for Moneyclaim and £100 for the court allocation questionare.

 

I just pray now that they settle quickly and I get back this money as its not easy to find these fees when your already skint.

 

Anyway fingers crossed and I will keep you all posted.

Hi all

 

I've just been reading some other threads on here, and I have noticed that some people are being advised to send a copy of their allocation questionaire back to lloyds tsb's solicitors as well as sending the completed form back to the court.

 

Is this a really important thing to do or does it not matter too much, the reason that I ask this is that it did not mention it anywhere in the paperwork that I received with the AQ and I hadn't seen it mentioned before.

 

I sent my AQ back to the court on 4th Jan 2007, but I have not sent a copy to lloyds tsb solicitors.

 

What do you think; should I just sit and wait or should I send one now, I am wondering what the best thing to do is, as I have left it for a few days since I sent my AQ to the court.

 

Also if I do need to send one to their solicitors what should I put in the covering letter?

 

Cheers

:D Got home tonight to a letter from SCM which starts with yet another "We are in the right and you are in the wrong, Blah Blah Blah type thing and we still defend our position"

 

However after a full page of blowing their own trumpet and telling me how misconceived my claim is the next paragraph blew me away.

 

As you have read, the Bank, together with other major banks, is presently discussing the legal basis for these charges with the office of fair trading. The bank considers it unhelpful to pre-empt the outcome of those discussions by requiring the court to adjudicate on a particular claim, especially because the legal and other costs involved can easily exceed the ammount in issue regardless of who "wins" at the end of the day. This is as true for you as it is for the bank.

 

Accordingly, the bank is, without prejudice to the position set out above, willing to pay you the £XXXX,XX, plus accrued interest since issue of the claim of £XX,XX, plus the court fees of £220 in full and final settlement of this claim.

 

It then goes on to list the conditions such as I much keep my account in credit or in the approved limits etc, and some other bull.

 

But who cares as soon as I have my money, I am closing the account, so whatever they try to impose it completley immaterial.

 

I can not believe it, I honestly thought that this would go all the way to the court day before settling, and they would drag it out as long and as difficult as possible.

 

Its great, I will make a donation to this site as soon as the money is in my account.

 

Many thanks for everyones help, you've been fantasic.

 

 

Quick question though, Do I have to inform the court that a settlement has been reached. I do not have a court date or anything like that. The last thing I did was file my Allocation Questionaire at the court and now they've settled.

 

Another reason that I ask is that the settlement is based on the terms of confidentiality between me, SCM and the back that I have to agree to. If I agree to this confidentiality then I'm worried that telling the court that they have settled then I will be in breach of the terms and will get nothing.

Excellent, well done. Another early settlement!:D

 

You need to inform the court that the claim has been settled. Here's a template - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/lloyds-bank/58011-sc-m-court-bundle.html#post487345

 

If you are agreeing to confidentiality, you should'nt really be disclosing the terms of the settlement in public - ie by posting here. You've no obligation to agree to confidentiality though, or any other condition. http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/lloyds-bank/50315-lloyds-tsb-have-filed-8.html#post499460

Hi folks

 

Sent the letter last weekend saying that I agree to settle and they would have got it Monday(I sent it special delivery).

 

How long do they have before they put the money in the account?

 

I thought it would be fairly quick so as I can tell the court that they have settled, but I have been checking my bank every day but still no money.

 

I hope they arnt going to drag it out unnecessarilly

Hargy001, hi

 

Just keep checking. If not in soon, say within next 3 days, you could write to SC&M asking where your money is. Keep on eye on your own timetable and remember that until the money is with you, the matter is not over. Obviously you must tell the court as soon as you receive the money that the case is settled.

 

well done by the way

Hi Folks,

 

Received my money today (at last), seems they dragged it out for as long as possible after receiving my letter. Sent back my letter 22nd Jan 2007.

 

3 phonecalls later to SCM, (who by the way have an automated phone service dealing with bank charge reclaims before you even get to speak to anyone... I guess they must have had a lot of phonecalls!! LOL)

 

Anyway checked my account and it was finally there.

 

So thats it, the final chapter.

 

I have just donated to this superb site so it can carry on the good work and I hope that it provides help to more and more people, who just like me would never have even attempted something like this until I found out about this site.

 

Anyway good luck to everyone.

 

Cheers
