    • Thank you very much for your letter in regard to the above mentioned shipment.  Due to the high volume of parcels coursing through the courier network each day, undergoing continuous processing and handling, certain packages may experience delays or even can get lost in the course of this journey. Please note that due to the time that has passed, this shipment has been declared as lost.  I have today processed the claim and made offers to the value of £75 as a goodwill gesture without prejudice. I do acknowledge that you have mentioned in your letter that the value was higher, however, you did not take out any protection to that amount. The protection for this shipment was £20 and we will not be increasing our goodwill offer any further.    Please log into your account online in order to accept our offer. Once accepted, our accounts department will process the claim accordingly. The claim payment will be processed and received within 7 working days.                                  In addition, a refund of the carriage fee will be processed as a separate payment and will be received within 3 working days.  If I can further assist, please feel free to contact me.   I have also just noticed that yesterday afternoon they sent me an email stating that "after my request" they have refunded the cost of shipping. I did not request the refund so will mention that in my letter as well.
    • Hi I had to leave Dubai back in 2011, during the financial crisis. And only now have I received a letter from IDRWW. Is this anything to worry about about as I have 2 years left until it’s been 15 years(statute barred in Dubai). Worried as just got a mortgage 2 years ago. Could they force me in to bankruptcy? Red lots of different threads on here. And unsure what true and what isn’t. 
    • Not that TOR will see this now he's thrown in the hand grenade. Rayner has plenty of female supporters on X, for a start. As for the council and HMRC, fair enough and I thought Rayner was already in touch with them.

    • Often with the Likes of Lowells/ Overdales that 'proof' doesn't stand up to scrutiny.   Think about it like a game of poker, they want to intimidate you into folding and giving up as soon as possible, and just get you to pay up and roll over, that is their business model, make you think your cards are rubbish. What they don't expect, and their business isn't set up for it, is for a defendant to find this place and to learn that they have an amazing set of cards to play. Overdales don't have an infinite number of lawyers, paralegals etc, and the time / money to spend on expensive court cases, that they are highly likely to lose, hence how hard they will try to get you to roll over.  Even to the extent of faking documents, which they need to do because the debts that they purchased were so cheap, in the first place. Nevertheless it works in most cases, most people chicken out, when they are so close to winning, and a holding defence is like slowly showing Overdales your first card, and a marker of intention that this could get tricky for them. In fact it may be,  although by no means guaranteed that it won't even go any further than that.  Even if it does, what they send you back will almost certainly have more holes than Swiss Cheese, and if with the help you receive here, you can identify those weaknesses and get the whole thing tossed in the bin.

    • 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.

Ex called CCBC asking to confirm receipt of her original defence dated 14/02/20: Yes.

Also when asked agreed that all contents of the file in this case had been sent to our local court as per N180  and recent N24 etc.

 

Ex is now attempting to speak to someone at local CC to ask why the Judge has requested her defence, given the CCBC say they forwarded everything.

She will ask for local CC email address to resend the original if necessary.

 

The fellow who called her yesterday, called her again this morning.

Said he was from SW&S offering New Start and whatever else is possible.

 

He asked who was giving her her advice CAB or Money Matters?

He got confused when ex stated the matter is in court, pretended not to know.

 

She took his numbers too.

How can I get these to you?

 

Thanks

SO:

Yet another call to my ex from the chap at SW&S this morning.

It appears that the Litigation Team at SW&S were(allegedly) unaware of any interventions being undertaken regards New Start.

 

He then went on to explain that Litigation team will not be making any such offers, the matter is in going to court and things will be decided by a Judge. He is confused because the litigation team instructed him to try and make the offer etc,. They now seem to be in denial.

 

Given the issue of the state of health of my ex partner this seems to be yet another failure/lack of understanding of their own Codes Of Practice.

 

Huge round of applause please.

Update:

 

My ex received a text yesterday asking her to " Please contact UK Search on 01246488927 regarding Southern Water (quoting a ref)

 

Called them back at 17:25 Spoke to someone named Sue, who asked if she was going to pay by credit card the outstanding amount of £4k+ today? Answered no.

 

Why did you call this number then? 

Answered: Because of a text message that was sent. (Sue) I will redirect you to our litigation department.

 

Then redirected to someone from litigation called Linda who proceeded to ask "have you submitted your defence and have you(she) had the result?

Answered no.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Why is this account back on the desks at UK Search? Who are UK Search for that matter? DCA?

 

Post#50,52,53 show that SW&S Dumped Shulmans and chose to conduct matters themselves.

 

They seem to be freely sharing information using tactics in an attempt to gain an out of court settlement.

Is it possible that sharing this info with a DCA  still, at this stage, using personal contact information, a data breach?

No-one has given authority to share court case info.

 

Thoughts please

Hiyya,

Here's the latest update.

 

Southern Water have issued a Notice of Discontinuance against me.

(On the basis that they accept that I have not resided at the account address as laid down in my original defence).

 

They phoned me on Friday to explain that they hadn't received confirmation from of this from me.

Having had it explained, I accepted the fact.

 

However, they are continuing to pursue the case against my ex-partner Theresa. 

Case being heard via telephone tomorrow (Monday) 12.30pm

pointed out that this would likely impact heavily upon her mental health.

( The issue of her mental health was frankly met with little, if any, empathy.)

 

had brief discussion pointing out that no response had been given over the sum of the debt which is Statute Barred. Which after a few moments resulted in approximately £920.00 being removed.

How they arrived at this figure I am not at all sure, even though it is welcomed.

 

By the way.

 

At no time have either of us received any response in regard to CPR31.14 requested by us back in February.

WHY?

 

The discussion evolved and became quite clear that they seeking to get a judgement based upon a regular re-payment deal regardless.

 

This leaves my Theresa somewhat blindfolded as they have all the information at hand.

When I asked if whether Theresa could ask for an adjournment to better prepare, they immediately responded that she would have to pay court costs in the order of £320 to get it.

 

They have agreed that I can be available at the telephone hearing to assist her in asking questions and giving any info we do have at hand, providing Theresa makes a request directly to the judge each time.

 

Its my view that Covid 19 may have circumvented court processes.

 

Any guidance that you could offer would be very welcome

Sorry about the length of post.

Thanks

so she never exchanged witness statements?

CPR is simply a request they don't have to respond

but they must include anything they intent to rely upon in their WS

No exchange of witness statements whatsoever from/to any of the parties involved.

 

Earlier posts #55,56,59 61,62, 65,76,80 could be constued as an attempt by SW at mediation I supose, however it was stated by them during these exchanges that no account would be taken regarding Statute Barred sums.

 

Are we to assume that this is now a hearing rather than a mediation process?

 

Thanks

After originally setting a hearing date of 12/Aug/2020, which was set within a timeframe where Theresa had expressed on her N120 her unavailability to attend, the case was then re-scheduled for tomorrow.

 

The court sent that out months ago.

Received nothing else since then.

It was SW that contacted us both on Friday to say they were going ahead with the matter.

 

Not sure why Court doesn't confirm matters.

 

Thanks

NO.

No witness statements have been exchanged-- period.

AOC, Defence, Allocation and other legal documents but no Witness statements.

 

N24 also orders that

1. The claimant is ordered to arrange the remote hearing

3. The telephone hearing must be arranged through BT-Connect or other court- approved provider.

 

Going on to say: This is a telephone hearing and it is responsibility of the legal representative for the Claimant to arrange this, with a telecommunications provider from the approved panel of service providers. It then lists 4 such providers.

 

Which flys in the face of what the head of litigation said to me on Friday: quote: Please make sure that Theresa answers the phone when the court calls.

 

Thanks

30 mins ago got a phone call from the Court postponing the hearing for today due to listing error.

Declined the offer to re-list for tomorrow 2.30pm due to other commitments.

 

Court will re-allocate for a date in the near future.
