    • Hi. Could you post up what they've sent please so we can see what the charge is? Cover up your name and address and their reference number. HB
    • I've looked through all our old NPE threads, and as far as we know they have never had the bottle to do court. There are no guarantees of course, but when it comes to put or shut up they definitely tend towards shut up. How about something like -   Dear Jonathan and Julie, Re: PCN no.XXXXX cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea that you actually expected me to take this tripe seriously and cough up. I'll write to you not some uninterested third party, thanks all the same, because you have are the ones trying to threaten me about this non-existent "debt". Go and look up Jopson v Homeguard Services Ltd, saddos.  Oh, while you're at it, go and look up your Subject Access Request obligations - we all know how you ballsed that up way back in January to March. Dear, dear, dear - you couldn't resist adding your £70 Unicorn Food Tax, you greedy gets.  Judges don't like these made-up charges, do they? You can either drop this foolishness now or get a hell of a hammering in court.  Both are fine with me.  Summer is coming up and I would love a holiday at your expense after claiming an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to your deafening silence.   That should show them you're not afraid of them and draw their attention to their having legal problems of their own with the SAR.  If they have any sense they'll crawl back under their stone and leave you in peace.  Over the next couple of days invest in a 2nd class stamp (all they are worth) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above

    • 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.

So received letter from Lowel with a copy of their DQ, yet to receive one from court. How long should I wait?

 

They have asked for mediation.

 

If I was to offer then £5 full and final is that an admission of the debt?

Just out of curiosity if you offered a full and final amount, that does constitute an admission of the debt?

Still valid?

 

For completion once a defence has been submitted and the claimant wishes to proceed.

 

Yes to mediation No if its statute barred or a parking claim.

Yes to Small Claims Track

State your local County Court 

1 witness = yourself

 

The rest is self explanatory

 

Run 3 copies..Court/Solicitor/File

Will do

 

Just looking at their DQ answers, why have they put down 0 for How many witnesses, including yourself, will give evidence on your behalf at the hearing?

 

Does that inc other lawyers? Surely that should say at least 1.

 

It also says that claimant has 28 days after receiving a copy of defence to inform court if they wish to proceed. I dont have a date but would assume that they received their DQ after I filled my defence and that they issued me a copy dated 6th Jan, so roughly speaking they have 28 days from 6th Jan to inform court.

Claimants do not use witnesses to present the case.....counsel are not witnesses to the claim. 

 

The receipt of Lowells DQ is not confirmed precedence of the claim.....check the status of the claim on MCOL and see if it states DQs sent out.

I received my DQ today, filled in and ready to send copies to court and sol. What I am asking is on the paperwork from court it states that the claimant has 28 days after receiving my defence to proceed, so claimant must have received my defence early Jan with his DQ, as the letter to me is dated 6th Jan then I can assume that that they have 28 days from 6th to tell court if they wish to proceed. MCOL only states

 

Your defence was received on 31/12/2020

DQ sent to you on 19/01/2021

DQ filed by claimant on 19/01/2021

ok thanks

 

So now it will move to mediation, tried to google some info but could find much just that cases are taking ages to get to court. I would assume that mediation would be via phone due to covid?

 

As all I have seen in terms of their paperwork my position would be "I dont have a copy of the original agreement" and stick to that.

issuance of a claimform halts the SB clock.

if you read the acknowledgement letter from the court regarding your filing of a defence 

it tells you how long they have ...go read it!

 

If small claims are taking ages to go to court this therefore will increase the time that debt will be SBd by months. It says that FT claims took 62 weeks to reach trial.

Why do you keep wasting your time on Google

wHen there are 1000's of lowell claimform threads on cag?

 

mediation has always been by phone..

if when it actually happens

the same q's ..are asked again as the n180 form

if you've not received enough information to make an informed decision to progress it. Then tell them so.
