Understood the letter is signed. Still not a contract though. Insist on double dipping. Firstly, judges often "hone in" on one part of the WS in particular to try to get the case over quickly, so you need to chuck in the kitchen sink to give the judge various chances to hoy the case out. Secondly, the judge's decision will be based on the balance of probabilities, and if you come across as a honest witness the judge may well think you probably moved your vehicle (especially when the opposition are complete crooks who hide their charges in the tiniest of tiny writing on signs too small to be read).

In 2008 Barclays were challenged on unlawful charges. Shortly after Barclays terminated the overdraft and the account was closed....apparently banks were known for this behaviour at the time. Although a termination letter was served Barclays never sought payment, nor did they enforce. Barclays sent annual statements until 2019 and the overdraft was registered at the CRA as a "live" account with a status of 6 (the worst status).. The bank decided to write the balance off in 2019 and update the credit file as settled, although the negative data remains. In 2019 the bank was informed that the account was statute barred in 2014 and the negative data should not have been recorded on the credit file between 2014 and 2019 - the bank disagreed. The credit file continues to show the negative data and will not drop off untill 2025. The damage continues as a loan was declined last week. Is it fair to damage an individuals credit status for 17 years?????.... Barclays seem to be in breach of the FCA 6th principle of treating customers fairly, the DPA 1998, and the GDPR.

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!
