    • Hello CAG Team, I'm adding the contents of the claim to this thread, but wanted to open the thread with an urgent question: Do I have to supply a WS for a claim with a court date that states " at the hearing the court will consider allocation and, time permitting, give an early neutral evaluation of the case" ? letter is an N24 General Form of Judgement or Order, if so, then I've messed up again. Court date 25 May 2024 The letter from court does not state (like the other claims I have) that I must provide WS within 28 days.. BUT I have recently received a WS from Link for it! making me think I do need to!??
    • Massive issues from Scottish Power I wonder if someone could advise next steps. Tennant moved out I changed the electric into my name I was out the country at the time so I hadn't been to the flat. During sign up process they tried to hijack my gas supply as well which I made it clear I didn't want duel fuel from them but they still went ahead with it. Phoned them up again. a few days later telling them to make sure they stopped it but they said too late ? had to get my current supplier to cancel it. Paid £50 online to ensure there was money covering standing charges etc eventually got to the flat no power. Phoned Scottish Power 40 minutes to get through they state I have a pay as you go meter and that they had set me up on a credit account so they need to send an engineer out which they will pass my details onto. Phone called from engineer asking questions , found out the float is vacant so not an emergency so I have to speak to Scottish Power again. Spoke with the original person from Scottish Power who admitted a mistake (I had told her it was vacant) and now states that it will take 4 weeks to get an appointment but if I want to raise a complaint they will contact me in 48 hours and it will be looked at quicker. Raised a complaint , complaints emailed me within 24 hours to say it will take 7 days till he speaks with me. All I want is power in the property would I be better switching over to EON who supply the gas surely they could sort it out quicker? One thing is for sure I will never bother with Scottish Power ever again.    
    • Hi. Please don't follow McD's advice to contact Met to appeal. They won't listen and you could end up giving them helpful information. HB

    • 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.

i assume therefore you are not part of the administration staff?

 

what qualifications do you have?

 

I'm sorry, that's none of your business is it? I answered your question about staff out of courtesy, you didn't get the answer you wanted so you moved on to something else. It doesn't matter what string of qualifications I came out with, it wouldn't satisfy you, you have already made your mind up on this issue. I have asked you various questions, which you have chosen to ignore, why should I continue to answer yours?

 

I've already stated that I don't want this thread to turn in to a personal battle between me and everyone else, it really isn't going to get us anywhere is it?

 

Lets just agree to disagree shall we?

sorry i am not aware of any question you have asked me.

 

if you were a qualified to degree level and have a LLB in Law then i wouldn't have any problems with what you are doing, but by your response i again assume you don't.

 

ask what you like.... i have nothing to hide.

We've covered this already haven't we? You asked me earlier what qualifications I have, I told you I have no legal qualifications. Nor do I feel I need them (although I am considering training as its something that interests me). I'm a claims manager not a solicitor, but as I have already said I have a solicitor that advises me. I have run a successful business in IT for over 7 years though, I think that qualifies me in running a business.

 

I asked you what qualifications Richard Branson had? Was he a qualified pilot when he set up Virgin Atlantic?

Probably not but then I don't think he used BA's planes to do it either.

I'm sorry, are you suggesting that I have used the material on here in my business? I worked as an engineer for various IT firms, I now use that knowledge, built up over 10 years to run my own Computer consultancy firm. I'm not however using their car, tools or customers to do it. I first made a claim against my bank in December 05, and I believe I joined here in February 06.

 

As and when I have useful info to pass on, I will of course do so.

he is a qualified pilot actually, although probably not when he started his business, but he did and does employ qualified pilots to do their jobs.

 

are you hiring qualified solicitors to work for you?

 

Well I have a firm of solicitors that I use to advise us on various issues, but no they are not directly employed by me, hopefully in 6 months time we will be in a position to hire one full time if we felt it necessary. Again, I fail to see why this is relevant. The law is quite clear on penalty charges, its not like there are complex legal issues involved here that are open to interpretation or debate. When a situation arises that we are unsure about, we ask for advice from our solicitors. To be honest the process of claiming back charges is just a business process that needs a degree of automation when you are dealing with large numbers of claims. There is a financial risk on our behalf, while we haven't invested £100k, we have invested a significant amount of money, something we stand to lose if this doesn't all pan out. I know some people will say that we have jumped on the band waggon, but setting up this business has not been a trivial matter or especially easy. Both my partner and I are in IT and have developed quite a sophisticated system for handling this business, this piece of software is probably worth quite a sum in and of itself.

 

In summary, we are not a bunch of chancers that are out to make a quick buck from the vulnerable, I consider myself to be diligent and ethical, and it does matter to me that our customers get an honest and fair service.

No, what inspires confidence is when they get a big old cheque from their bank. If a company does not offer a good service, customers won't use them. I would say that each customer recommends us to on average 4 other people. :-p

my point was the public will see you as an authority on the matter and will give you trust, do you state in your advertising and any correspondence with your customers that you in fact have no legal authority are not qualified to offer any legal advice. and that they should be seeking a qualified professional !?

I would argue there are plenty of businesses that people use and receive a bad service. however in a one-off service you really can't do alot about it. Besides, the argument isn't whether people will getr (some of ;)) their money - that's pretty much a given. The point is that they could very easily do this on their own but probably don't realise it. Also 9/10 statistics are made up on the spot and 87% of those are completely meaningless.

 

Incidentally regarding your first comment, I thought it was worth highlighting as a cynic would say it could be interpreted as "when I have anything of my own to add to the work already provided for free by others...".

banks don't offer a good service, nor do the post office, yet they are still used! millions of times a day, because there is nothing else convienient or available. indeed though some company's are useless and they end up losing business because of it. but it doesn't apply in everycase!

 

slightly off topic, i apologise

Yes I suppose I am, for someone who knows enough to charge others to provide this service, you appear to have asked a lot of questions

 

Well done, you can use a search facility.

 

Have I used material from this site, ie letter templates in the course of my business? No. I have never said I have not asked questions. I could of course come on to this thread under a different username but I'm really not trying to hide anything. You will notice that the other day on the Halifax thread that a user got a settlement simply because I posted some feedback, not a big deal but every little helps.

The difference here is there is an excellent FREE resource available. The fact that people still choose to use a fee based service shows that there is demand for such a service. People have lots of options, thats the difference.

full settlement? or did you take your 'cut' ???

 

 

nothing to do with that persons hard work, or people on this site, or the banks giving in, as they do.

 

all down to your 'feedback' yes. aren't you great!

yes I can, and I can cut and paste too, wonderful thing universities.

 

Sent preliminary letter,

Got 6 years worth of account/charges info via Data Protection Act request

Sent letter before action

 

Now making the court claim, which address should the summons be sent to?

 

So what you mean is, you sent the prelim letter for your own claims then rewrote one of your own to use for your 'clients', or perhaps you wrote your own before posting this back in March?

I make it quite clear that I have no legal qualifications. I've not had a single person be put off by this. As I say, personal recommendation is a powerful marketing tool. There is no reason not to trust us, we will get their money back.

 

I think there is room for both free and fee paying services. I understand your objections to our service however surely the proof of the pudding is in the eating. If they get their money back (in most cases they get all their charges plus interest) what's the problem with that?

Yes I did write my own before I knew anything about this site.

 

Can you only copy and paste in Universities ;-)
