    • Paragraph 18 – you are still talking about Boston stolen items. About time this was fixed??? Paragraph 19  In any event, the claimant's PS5 gaming device was correctly declared and correctly valued. The defendant accepted it for carriage and was even prepared to earn extra money by selling sell insurance in case of its loss or damage. New paragraph 20 – this the defendant routinely sells insurance in respect of "no compensation" items (a secondary contract contrary to section 72 CRA 2015) new paragraph above paragraph 20 – the defendant purports to limit its liability in respect of lost or damaged items. This is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights act 2015. The defendant offers to extend their liability if their customer purchases an insurance cover for an extra sum of money. This insurance is a secondary contract calculated to exclude or limit their liability for the defendants contractual breaches and is contrary to section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015. New paragraph below paragraph 42 – the defendant merely relies on "standard industry practice" You haven't pointed to the place in your bundle of the Telegraph newspaper extract. You have to jiggle the paragraphs around. Even though I have suggested new paragraph numbers, the order I have suggested is on your existing version 5. You will have to work it out for your next version. Good luck!   Let's see version 6 Separately, would you be kind enough to send me an unredacted to me at our admin email address.
    • i think theres been MORE than amble evidence of that and am astonished that criminal proceedings haven't begun.
    • Yep, those 'requirements' not met to shareholders satisfaction seem to me to be: 1. Not being allowed to increase customer bills by 40% (of which well over 50% of the new total would NOT be investment) 2. 1 plus regulators not agreeing to letting them do 'things in their own time (ie carry on regardless)
    • As already mentioned freely available "credit scores" are fairly useless. All lenders have their own "credit scoring" system, that for obvious reasons they don't divulge. And they're "scored" differently to the freely available ones. As soon as they could, we've always encouraged our two children to use credit cards responsibly... Pay off in full, etc, to generate good history. It's paid off. At quite young ages, they have both obtained loans for cars, mortgage and their credit card limits are through the roof. Personally, I have shifted debt around a lot on credit cards (even financed a house purchase once at 0% 😉) and I've only ever been refused a credit card once, sorry twice by the same company, over many years. They must have something very different in their lending criteria. You're a tight one, Mr Branson.

    • 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.

Hello all

I have received a letter from Lowell stating that I owe them money from an old Sky account.

I replied asking for any statements, contracts relating to the account and any NOA.

They responded with a template NOA, nothing else. 

 

I was wondering what the next stage is, as I see that they like to take people to court.

Thanks dx.

 

I also received an information sheet which lists what documents I should request from them, including a copy of a written contract for the debt, a full statement of the account, a noa and a description of any admin charges on the account.

 

They've not provided any so this will be pointed out should this go to court

claimform date is ONE in the count...so nov 29 + 33 days is 31st dec

but you get 1 extra day for xmas = 1st Jan

but as you are a litigant in person(a member of joe public) ..you are given certain leeway.

Defence below, currently I have not received any paperwork from Lowells:

 

 

The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and

generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case

below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular

allegation to which a specific response has not been made.

 

1. Paragraph 1 is accepted insofar that a relationship did exist

between the Defendant and Sky and BT however, I cannot recall this

account (Agreement) and the Claimant has yet to supply me with a

copy of the Account/Agreement mentioned in particulars of Claim.

 

2. Paragraph 2 is denied, the defendant does not recall any breach

and again the Claimant has yet to supply me with a copy of the

agreement requested through the PAPDC reply form and CPR 31.14.

 

The Defendant denies failing to maintain the required payments to

Sky and BT. It is denied that I have failed to respond to demands

for payment sent by the claimant and/or its agents. The Claimant

is put to strict proof that any such demands have been sent to me

by the claimant

 

 

 

3. The defendant did not receive and is unaware of any legal

notice of assignment or Notice of Assignment pursuant to Law and

property Act 1925 Section 136(1).

 

a). The Claimant admits it is the assignee of a debt, it is denied

that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to

contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act 1925.

 

4. Therefore, the defendant denies owing any money to the

Claimant and the claimant is put to strict proof:

 

a. Show how the Defendant has entered into an Agreement.

 

b. Show how the Defendant has reached the amount claimed for.

 

c. That Defendant failed to maintain the required payments and the

service was terminated as claimed.

 

5. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4) it is expected that the

Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed; having been

provided with written requests for information under CPR 31.14 and

to date have failed to provide any such documentation as detailed

on the particulars of claim.

 

6. Notwithstanding the above should the alleged amount claimed

include an early termination charge(s) amounting to the entire

balance of the remaining contract. OFCOM guidance states that any

Early Termination Charge that is made up of the entire balance if

the remaining contract is unlikely to be fair as it fails to

consider the fact that the provider no longer has to provide and

pay for their service.
