    • We used to recommend that people accept mediation but our advice has changed. The mediation process is unclear. Before you can embark on it you have to agree that you are prepared to enter a compromise – and that means that you agree that you are prepared to give up some of your rights even though you are completely in the right and you are entitled to hundred percent of your money and even though EVRi are simply trying to obstruct you in order to discourage you and also to put others who might want to follow your example off from claiming and even though they have a legitimate basis for reimbursement. Mediation is not transparent. In addition to having to sign up that you are prepared to give up some of your rights, you will also have to agree not to reveal any details of the mediation – including the result of the mediation – so that the whole thing is kept secret. This is not open justice. Mediation has nothing to do with justice. The only way of getting justice is to make sure that this matter goes to trial unless EVRi or the other parcel delivery companies put their hands up and accept the responsibility even if they do it is a gesture of goodwill. Going to trial and winning at trial produces a judgement which we can then add to our small collection to assist other people who are in a similar boat. EVRi had been leading you around by the nose since at least January – and probably last year as well – and their whole purpose is simply to drag it out, to place obstacles in your way, to deter other people, and to make you wish that you'd never started the process and that you are prepared to give up your 300 quid. You shouldn't stand for it. You should take control. EVRi would prefer that you went to mediation and if nothing else that is one excellent reason why you should decline mediation and go to court. If it's good for them it's bad for you. On mediation form, you should sign that you are not prepared to compromise and that you are not prepared to keep the result secret but that you want to share the results with other people in similar circumstances. This means that the mediation won't go ahead. It will take slightly longer and you will have to pay a court fee but you will get that back when you win and you will have much greater satisfaction. Also, once you go the whole process, you will learn even more about bringing a small claim in the County Court so that if this kind of thing happens again you will know what to do and you will go ahead without any hesitation. Finally, if you call EVRi's bluff and refuse mediation and go to trial, there is a chance – maybe not a big chance – but there is a chance that they will agree to pay out your claim before trial simply in order to avoid a judgement. Another judgement against them will simply hurt the position even more and they really don't want this. 300 quid plus your costs is peanuts to them. They don't care about it. They will set it off against tax so the taxpayer will make their contribution. It's all about maintaining their business model of not being liable for anything, and limiting or excluding liability contrary to section 57 and section 72 of the consumer rights act.     And incidentally, there is a myth that if you refuse mediation that somehow it will go against you and the judge will take a dim view and be critical of you. This is precisely a myth. It's not true. It would be highly improper if any judge decided the case against you on anything other than the facts and the law of the case. So don't worry about that. The downside of declining mediation is that your case will take slightly longer. The upside is that if you win you will get all your money and you will have a judgement in your favour which will help others. The chances of you winning in this case are better than 95% and of course you would then receive 100% of your claim plus costs
    • Nice to hear a positive story about a company on this form for a change. Thank you
    • too true HB, but those two I referred for starters - appear to be self admitted - One to excuse other lockdown law breaking, by claiming his estate away from his consistency and London abode was his main home the other if he claims to have 'not told the truth' in his own words via that quote - to have mislead his investors rather than broken lobbying rules   - seem to be slam dunks - pick which was your law breaking - it seems to be both and much more besides in Jenricks case Starmer was director of public prosecutions yet the tories are using seemingly baseless allegations for propaganda and starmer is missing pressing apparent blatant criminality in politics

    • 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.

Payments of £232.96 were received up to 20/03/20108 and adjustments have been applied in the sum of £14.56.

 

5.AND THE CLAIMANT CLAIMS

1. The sum of £4793.79

 

An Egg CC debt £4793.79 + court costs

 

Have you received prior notice of a claim being issued pursuant to paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre Action Protocol) ?Yes

 

What is the total value of the claim? £5058.79

 

what is the claim for: egg credit card

 

When did you enter into the original agreement before or after April 2007 ? 2005 should I request the CCA I believe they won't have a problem proofing I owe this debt?

Is the debt showing on your credit reference files (Experian/Equifax /Etc...) ?No it came off about a year ago

Has the claim been issued by the original creditor or was the account assigned and it is the Debt purchaser who has issued the claim.Debt purchaser PRA

 

Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment? Yes sure I did !

 

Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor? Yes

Was there a dispute with the original creditor that remains unresolved? No

 

Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor and make any attempt to enter into a debt management planlink3.gif? Yes

 

How shall I defend / respond to this

they seem to be using bully tactics and fishing for me to pay up the full amount which I don't have.

 

in March last year they sent me a full and final settlement letter asking for £1680.37

I counter offered £1200

they refused it and said they would only take £1945 which is bizarre.

 

PLEASE SEE ATTACHMENT,

I questioned this on another forum and was told the wording is not right and the balance should be zero.

 

If you have not already done so – send a CCA Requestlink3.gif to the claimant for a copy of your agreement

(except for Overdraft/ Mobile/Telephone accounts)

 

Will Do !

 

Particulars of Claim

An Egg CC debt £4793.79 + court costs I went into arrears in 2010 after a head injury and have been making monthly payments. Egg was bought by Barclaycard since then and then they assigned/sold the debt to the PRA group 17/08/2015.

 

I have been paying without missing a payment but have not done their constant requests for income and expenditure.

I got a letter November 13th say my account had been transferred to the investigations and litigation department which I ignored.

 

Thanks for your help I don't have long to respond to this claim :(

Request the CCA and CPR from the solicitors.

 

its unlikely theyll get a compliant egg agreement from that far back. Most simply dont exist. Plus the debts are chock full of charges.

 

First, go to mcol and acknowledge the claim, make sure contest jurisdiction is unchecked and click through to the end and exit mcol. This submits your acknowledgement and gives you more time for a defence.

 

The likely reason theyve gone to a claim is because youve blindly paid without question for all this time, and they have you marked as gullible. Put them to proof that they can indeed chase you for this.

and dont tell them it was egg. If they try to come up with a barclaycard agreement, theyve already done the work for you and the claims sunk.

Hi again,

 

I have sent the CCA and CPR via first class signed for which they should receive Monday, I have also acknowledged the claim(AOS) but this has not been approved yet I hope MCOL do this on Monday!

 

But what would my defense be to this claim if they produce the CCA that is?

 

That I was making regular payments under an old agreement and they should not have cancelled it ! Thanks in advance.

Dont jump ahead of yourself just yet. They wont be able to produce the CCA. Why? Because they think its a barclaycard. It isnt. SO theyve already screwed themselves over with it. Of course you dont tell them that. Its also highly unlikely they will even fulfil the CCA request, so the claim will just get stayed.

 

Be aware they may send you letters of their own back saying they have requested judgement, even though the courts timeframe is still in effect. They do this so you dont fill in you side of the claim, and then they WILL go for judgement by default, leaving you with no avenue of counter.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

need to get reading up steve

as far as I can see you've not read one other claimform thread in this forum.

 

although your defence is not due till day 33 [21st by 4pm]

no harm is finding out the stages of a claim and what to expect/do in the 'downtimes' between stages

Hi Everyone,

 

Due to a family issue I have not give a defense to this court action and its due tomorrow I requested CCA and PRA have sent a letter 16.01.18 saying they have requested the required information from Barclaycaed.

 

But what would be my defense be in this case, do I dispute the whole claim on the grounds that no CCA has been produced ?

 

Thank You in advance

PRA also included a letter from Barclaycard posted to me in Sep 2015 which basically said that my account was closed with BC and transferred to PRA group with an outstanding balance.

 

So they have not produced the original CCA but I am unsure how to defend this.
