Hi DK, i put in my defence that I wish to show a video entering the car park and pictures to show the T & C. They are there but it would be dangerous to stop the car and read these as they are at the entrance to the car park you cannot safely walk down to them to read There are no signs where the driver parked. And no T & C at the pay stations. I believe no contract can be enforced because you cant read the T & C . -
I have this morning received from the County Court Business Centre a Notice of Proposed Allocation to the Small Claims Track. Should I do anything other than fill it in requesting my nearest County Court? Clearly I won't be requesting the mediation service. -

It would be helpful if you could simply produce a skeleton – bullet pointed – chronology of your letter because it's rather a lot to go through. I do understand that you are asking for a refund of the entire cost of the works. If this is correct then I think that this is unachievable. Presumably some of the materials which have been supplied and some of the installation is useful and at the very least you would have to pay for those. The starting point here would be to get an independent inspection – maybe two independent inspections – of the quality of the work and to make a report as to the problems. You would then need a couple of independent quotations for the costs of repairing the defects to the standard which was expected when you first commissioned the work. If you could get loans, then we can take it further. The fact that the builder is not limited liability company is important to the extent that they are not able to phoenix themselves – meaning that they not able simply to go into liquidation and then reappear under a similar name but escaping their legal liabilities. On the other hand, if you find that you're going to have to you bring the claim then you are going to have to identify the builder – and any assets – and preferably any property that they owned. Can you do this? Also, it will be in your interest to keep this issue to a figure less than £10,000 in order to keep you within the small claims limits for County Court claims – otherwise you risk a fair amount of costs if you happen to lose the case -

Thanks for opening SO, nothing since May as you saw before I received a debt collection letter from a 3rd party. As they got no response ON CHRISTMAS EVE I received a new 'CLAIM FOR DEBT' containing a handy 'previous case notes' from a court appeal that went wrong. They include an affordability schedule, they have upped it to £182 They are sending the letter in accordance with Pre-action Protocol for Debt Claims (PAP) contained in the Civili Procedure Rules (CPR) You have 30 days to complete the enclosed or possibly face court acton. 'If you ignore this letter and fail to respond proceedings will be issued against you and may increase you liability for costs" I can then tick a box saying A,B,C,D etc. I owe the debt, I owe some of the debt, I dispute the debt, I dont know i owe the debt,, I will pay buy need time, Im getting debt advice, I h ave provided docs, i need more docs or info, sign and send back. Ignore or respond? Cheers! -

Post in Court Claim Against Hermes - item sent via Packlink was lost/tampered with **WON**
jj58 posted a post in a topic,
Hi @BankFodder
Sorry for only updating you now, but after your guidance with submitting the claim it was pretty straight forward and I didn't want to unnecessarily waste your time. Especially with this guide you wrote here, so many thanks for that
So I issued the claim on day 15 and they requested more time to respond.
They took until the last day to respond and denied the claim, unsurprisingly saying my contract was with Packlink and not with them.
I opted for mediation, and it played out very similarly to other people's experiences.
In the first call I outlined my case, and I referred to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 as the reason to why I do in fact have a contract with them.
In the second call the mediator came back with an offer of the full amount of the phone and postage £146.93, but not the court costs. I said I was not willing to accept this and the mediator came across as a bit irritated that I would not accept this and said I should be flexible. I insisted that the law was on my side and I was willing to take them to court. The mediator went back to Hermes with what I said.
In the third call the mediator said that they would offer the full amount. However, he said that Hermes still thought that I should have taken the case against Packlink instead, and that they would try to recover the court costs themselves from Packlink.
To be fair to them, if Packlink wasn't based in Spain I would've made the claim against them instead. But since they are overseas and the law lets me take action against Hermes directly, it's the best way of trying to recover the money.
So this is a great win. Thank you so much for your help and all of the resources available on this site. It has helped me so much especially as someone who does not know anything about making money claims.
Many thanks, stay safe and have a good Christmas!
