    • 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
    • In anticipation of lodging my court claim next Weds 1 May (14 days after advising P2G that was my deadline for them to settle my claim) I have completed my first draft POC as below: Claim Claim number: xxxxx Reference: P2G MAY 2024   Claimant xxxxx   Defendant Parcel2Go 1A Parklands Lostock Bolton BL6 4SD  Particulars of Claim The defendant has failed to arrange for the safe delivery of the claimant's parcel containing a 8 secondhand golf clubs (valued at £265) that was sent to a UK address using their delivery service (P2G Reference xxxxx). The defendant contracted Evri to deliver the parcel (Evri Reference xxxxx) and refuses to reimburse the claimant on the grounds that the claimant did not purchase their secondary insurance contract. The defendant seeks to exclude their liability in breach of section 57 Consumer Rights Act. The secondary insurance contract is in breach of section 72. The claimant seeks reimbursement of £265, plus P2G fees of £9.10, plus postage costs for two first class letters to P2G of £2.70, plus court fees, plus interest. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from xxxxx to xxxxxx on £276.80 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £xxxx   Details of claim Amount claimed £276.80 I look forward to your thoughts and comments guys! As ever, many thanks - G59    
    • Hmm, that's strange how they got my email then.  I assume the below is ok to send to DCBL, Nicky?  Hello, I am writing regarding our ongoing dispute and the upcoming court claim reference xxxxxxxx.

    • 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.

Sorry, what I meant was, when claiming back from credit card companies, I thought I read somewhere on here that you could claim back the interest at the rate they charged you, from the LBA stage (you didnt have to wait until the court stage)? i.e. £100 of charges 6 years ago would now be £380 if interest was 25%

 

Am i right, or is it like the 8%, and you can only add this on at the court stage of the process?

 

Cheers

you can claim - the interest they charged you on the charges and the same rate of interest on the total for fines and interest - this is known as contractual interest and you claim it with the prelim.

 

or

 

you can claim the charges and the interest you paid on them and the 8% p.a. but only when you raise the claim at court

So, the rate I had was 24.9%, I can claim this on each of the charges? Then if I have to take them to small claims, I can whack on the 8% as well?

 

They offered me a "goodwill" gesture today of £180 in full and final settlement, I am just writing the letter and working out what they do owe me! I assume I can use the original creditc card letter, but change the interest column to calculate interest at (amount * 0.00068 ) * number of days. I have used 0.00068 as that is 24.9 (interest rate) divided by 365. Am I getting this right? I only ask as it makes my claim leap from £383 to £579 (which sounds a nicer figure).

 

Then if it goes to court, I can add the interest at 8% onto this?

You only add 8% if you do not claim contractual interest (this is in addition to the interest they charged you which you can claim back).

 

You cannot claim 8% if you have already claimed contractualinterest.

Cheers for your help. I sent the prelim letter last week which totalled £370 in charges, which amounted to £580 when I added Contractual interest onto the charges.

 

I called their customer line the other day to say I will not accept a payment of £180 in full and final settlement, and if they could speak to me it could stop it getting "messy", and they said they would not be willing to do any more for me, So I advised I will be writing some letters, and that if I have not been paid back my £580 within 28 days, then I will file a small claim against them!

Hi, the whole credit card thing confuses me, I went through my statements last night, my interest rate at the time was 15.9%, every month I was getting charges of around £15 in interest. Can I claim that back as well as my late payment charges??

Can anyone help?

Cheers:?

Hi nagumos!

The Interest % Rate on your CC MAY have been 15.9%

...But any unlawful Charges and their Associated Interest would have been charged @ the Cash Withdrawal % Rate...which would be MORE than the normal purchase % rate.

Also dependent on which CC U have, it is feasible that there is a strict hierarchy with regards which category of balance is repaid in full 1st when U pay your monthly statement.

Usually it is the lower bearing % rate balance that is paid of in full 1st!!!

Hope this helps?!

Hi Milktrayman,

 

I have been reading your thread re claimimg back interest. My initial claim with MBNA did not include any interest. They offered "goodwill payment" which I declined as full settlement and I reiterated my claim for full amount. When they failed to respond, I re-sent claim for full amount but this time including contractual interest which more than doubled the amount. They responded by offering further "goodwill payment" equal to the whole of the charges but not the interest. I again declined this, pressing for inclusion of interest and giving them further 14 days. Time is about up now with no response. I am wondering if I have blown it by not including the interest in the original letter or should I press on with LBA and MCOL?

Hi impactman!

If U have read my post (sm4423's thread btw) in the link I pointed to above, U would have also read the link contained within it, a post in which johnny2bad suggests that a Claim position is recoverable right up to and even beyond the Filing @ Court stage!

MBNA are one of my next targets and my claim will involve Default Removal + PPI. Am currently busy with other Claims at the moment, so haven't researched how MBNA are dealing with Claimants and don't honestly know if it's normal or the exception, for people to be given such goodwill offers of a FULL REFUND...But I would assume that they would only do that as a Damage Limitation exercise cos of the now added CI + to test to see if U fall for their, in effect, small offer before U would win at the Court stage.

IMHO I would continue with your LBA and include a printout of your up dated CI spreadsheet. Be prepared for MBNA to try to fob U off by saying that they have offered U everything in their Full + Final Offer though!

Hope this helps?!
