    • Hi dx, thanks. Yes actually, that is the case with this one! I've taken tomorrow off work, I need to review the whole binder for each of these and I'll refrain from further questions until I do just that. Just on hold for court ref Claim #2
    • 1. who knows... 2. not the whole A/C vanishes from your file on the DN's 6th b'day ...already carefully explain this. 3.yes 4.already carefully explain this.
    • if i remember rightly, long ago in one of the first drafts of the old proposed gov't overhauls, there was a listing of recommended 'charges' that inc wrong reg = £20. some PPC's implemented such changes in advance. then later as it looked increasing likely the new code was never going to be implemented after it's 1st review and another set of codes was to be debated they all quietly revert back .......... dx
    • Potentially it may not even get sold on? Just the default left for 6 years then gone? but if it is sold on ill get a letter from the DCA which is the notice of assignment? Sorry what is the different between a default notice and a default cal marker? yes, i may try and work arrangements out with the OCs after the breathing space but I'll see my circumstances then thank you again for all your help and patience, I really appreciate it and apologies If i am too fast or repeating myself.
    • receiving a default NOTICE (forget simple default cal markers) does not mean it will get sold on... OC's very very rarely do court themselves.  if it does you would receive a Notice of Assignment from the debt buyer/DCA.  as for reduced payment if it remains with the OC and they issue a DN, no harm in trying but lets get all your ducks inline first. 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.

Truth42, maybe it's because I sign my letters "Lots of love, Mad Nick" !

 

Newbody, always a pleasure. FWIW my latest research project is Abbey's account archives (because after this claim I'm going after >6years). GlennUK reckons that a company called Recall (US-based but sites in UK) does Abbey's data storage and retrieval; and I found "Restore UK" which is the UK banks restoring dormant accounts from the 1930s/40s to descendants/estates - and guess what, Abbey confirmed they had all the information. Mmmmm. Curious that.

 

Regards, Mad Nick

I'll be watching your case with interest as I'm a step or so behind you. I start court proceedings tomorrow.

 

Truth - I've not had any GOGW from Abbey either, just bog-standard bog-off letter with a smidge of intimidation.

 

Any ideas how they choose which customers to send GOGW's to and who to try to scare off?

Another little titbit. I gave Abbey the chance to choose SCC or Fast Track and to comment on my draft AQ Other Information and draft Directions. They make it as plain as day that I'm after them disclosing their actual costs. Well, surprise, surprise, even though claim is for £8K+, they replied “We are content for the matter to proceed in the Small Claims Track. No Directions are required in the Small Claims Track.”

Funny that (LOL), because my understanding (and anyone correct me if I'm wrong) but Directions are entirely at the Judge’s discretion. I think young James is a bit confused between Standard Discloure (which is only Fast Track and above) and Directions. So that went straight in my AQ - that should get the Judge annoyed with Abbey. Tee hee. Regards, Mad Nick

Just want to say that, in the light of Glenn's recent experience, I have spent the last 2 hours making sure I've got proper justification for claiming restitutional compound interest. As I suspected about a month ago, it's a bit of a minefield. I'm just glad I stuck to reclaiming the interest they took rather than seeking interest off them at the unauthorised ovedraft rate. All I can say is that the sooner that draft Bill "Interest on Debts and Damages" becomes law the better. Regards, Mad Nick

Truth42, no, it's all gone quiet. I sent James Arrandale an E-mail scanned copy of my AQ (got a read receipt !) and I've worked out how to combat them if they try to settle just the charges and challenge the contract interest I'm reclaiming (much like they did with GlennUK). I've printed out my Court Bundle, but I'll wait for the Directions and a Court date before I do much more. So now I'm really just watching with envy all those people being settled - congrats to them all. Regards, Mad Nick.

Barney, Yes, and I even sent Abbey my draft AQ before I returned it (inc the LLoyds @ Lincoln abuse of process and list of settled Abbey claims). Abbey haven't taken the hint yet though. Have to wait to see what the Judge directs. Regards, Mad Nick

  • 2 weeks later...

It's raining and I'm bored. Abbey returned their AQ to the Court one day before the deadline (2 March). Vaguely interesting bits :

  • they ticked YES to using expert evidence but have ticked NO they haven't obtained any, LOL. This is a bit of giggle anyway because they are requesting SCC (see below) where no experts are allowed LOL.
  • Then in reasons for which track they've written : "In the interests of commerciality the Defendant consents to the entirety of the claim being dealt with in the Small Claims Court." You bet they do - to avoid Standard Disclosure. Have to see what the Judge does about my draft Directions. LOL

And the funniest bit - the copy they've sent me is barely readable. I think their photocopier toner has run out with all the claims they're processing !!! Told you I was bored. Regards, Mad Nick

Hi Mad Nick,

Things seem to be dragging a bit now dont they. Im at more or less the same stage as you. My AQ deadline was 26th Feb and I returned it a week before. Havent received a copy from Abbey or any correspondence so Ill get my boyfriend to phone the court tomorrow and see if they actually filed theirs before the deadline. I assumed they would but maybe not hey..... (well wishful thinking anyway)

adw, FWIW I'm going to give the Court a couple of weeks before I ring them - presumably, a Judge has to wade through a whole pile of AQs and decide on track & directions (and their Admin have to schedule a date) for each one, then each one gets typed up and posted out to all parties. Regards, Mad Nick

that post made me chuckle Nick, sounds like they are drowning under the mass of claims flying at them & starting to make daft mistakes! Keep us posted on your progress, BTW many thanks for your advice on my case so far.

April 2007: Claim v Abbey settled £680!

July 2007: Claim 2 for £307 WON! after quiet word from the bailiff!!

Mick, still trying to decide what interest to charge on mine. Exactly what interest are you claiming? you talked about claiming contractual, then say

 

Just want to say that, in the light of Glenn's recent experience, I have spent the last 2 hours making sure I've got proper justification for claiming restitutional compound interest. As I suspected about a month ago, it's a bit of a minefield. I'm just glad I stuck to reclaiming the interest they took rather than seeking interest off them at the unauthorised ovedraft rate. All I can say is that the sooner that draft Bill "Interest on Debts and Damages" becomes law the better. Regards, Mad Nick

 

Then you say

 

It's all gone quiet. I sent James Arrandale an E-mail scanned copy of my AQ (got a read receipt !) and I've worked out how to combat them if they try to settle just the charges and challenge the contract interest I'm reclaiming (much like they did with GlennUK). I've printed out my Court Bundle, but I'll wait for the Directions and a Court date before I do much more.

 

Did you claim at authorised rate (about 16.9% I think)? instead of going for unauthorised rate or statutory 8%

 

I've got plenty of time to decide I guess, in the process of getting 2 defaults removed which I believe are wrong from HSBC, before open parachute account. Don't want a basic account. So I keep going backwards & forwards as mentioned in my thread here.
