    • Paragraph 18 – you are still talking about Boston stolen items. About time this was fixed??? Paragraph 19  In any event, the claimant's PS5 gaming device was correctly declared and correctly valued. The defendant accepted it for carriage and was even prepared to earn extra money by selling sell insurance in case of its loss or damage. New paragraph 20 – this the defendant routinely sells insurance in respect of "no compensation" items (a secondary contract contrary to section 72 CRA 2015) new paragraph above paragraph 20 – the defendant purports to limit its liability in respect of lost or damaged items. This is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights act 2015. The defendant offers to extend their liability if their customer purchases an insurance cover for an extra sum of money. This insurance is a secondary contract calculated to exclude or limit their liability for the defendants contractual breaches and is contrary to section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015. New paragraph below paragraph 42 – the defendant merely relies on "standard industry practice" You haven't pointed to the place in your bundle of the Telegraph newspaper extract. You have to jiggle the paragraphs around. Even though I have suggested new paragraph numbers, the order I have suggested is on your existing version 5. You will have to work it out for your next version. Good luck!   Let's see version 6 Separately, would you be kind enough to send me an unredacted to me at our admin email address.
    • i think theres been MORE than amble evidence of that and am astonished that criminal proceedings haven't begun.
    • Yep, those 'requirements' not met to shareholders satisfaction seem to me to be: 1. Not being allowed to increase customer bills by 40% (of which well over 50% of the new total would NOT be investment) 2. 1 plus regulators not agreeing to letting them do 'things in their own time (ie carry on regardless)
    • As already mentioned freely available "credit scores" are fairly useless. All lenders have their own "credit scoring" system, that for obvious reasons they don't divulge. And they're "scored" differently to the freely available ones. As soon as they could, we've always encouraged our two children to use credit cards responsibly... Pay off in full, etc, to generate good history. It's paid off. At quite young ages, they have both obtained loans for cars, mortgage and their credit card limits are through the roof. Personally, I have shifted debt around a lot on credit cards (even financed a house purchase once at 0% 😉) and I've only ever been refused a credit card once, sorry twice by the same company, over many years. They must have something very different in their lending criteria. You're a tight one, Mr Branson.

    • 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.

Ok, ive been going through the process outlined on this site for some time now, sent S.A.R, sent prelim letter and also sent LBA. Have initiated a summary cause action against CB and have hearing set for Feb 2007.

 

The question I have is this:

 

On 14December 2006 I went to Sheriff court (as in Scotland) and submitted my summary cause summons, recieved this back in the post and on 19 December 2006 went to sheriff officers for them to serve on CB. Now also on the 19 December 2006 I recieved a letter from a name which may be familiar, Mr N Kirdy. This was a full and final settlement offer of £1200 in the form of a cheque, my claim is over £2.5k (although broke down to suit Scottish small claims limit)

 

I have issued this response:

 

Dear Mr McKirdy,

 

 

 

Thank you for your letter dated 19 December 2006 (your ref: *******************), I respectfully decline your offer of full and final settlement of this claim as I wrote to your organisation on 08 July 2006 and again on 02 November 2006 requesting you refund a total of £2366.50 which had been taken unlawfully from my bank account. This was my attempt at settling this matter without the need to involve my local sheriff court. These letters were regrettably declined by your organisation.

 

May I take this opportunity to advise I have now started a summary cause action against Clydesdale Bank PLC for the sum of £1496.00 plus interest at the judicial rate of 8% p/a and costs. Unfortunately as I have had to involve the sheriff court the only figure I will be accepting is £1496.00 plus judicial interest and costs.

 

I understand the responsibility of maintaining my bank account lies solely with me, however I also understand when I entered into a contract with your company you agreed to conduct yourselves lawfully and in a manner which complies with UK law. I feel confident I can show a court you have acted unlawfully and have breached Scottish common law. All productions I intent to rely on in court will be issued to you in due course.

 

With regard to your offer of £1183.25 I will accept this sum, however pleased be advised, this I accept as part-settlement only and on the clear understanding that I will pursue recovery of the remainder through the summary cause action which is imminent.

 

I trust this clarifies my position and will await a response before any further action is taken with regards to the cheque you have issued to me.

 

 

 

Your sincerely,

 

BigShep41

 

 

Now my question is this, the cheque they have issued to me can I cash this??

 

I am unsure as in their letter it states "this is paid in full and final settlement of this claim and your encashment of it will be taken as your acceptance of this" or does my letter cancel out my acceptance???

 

 

Thanks in advance for any replys.

Have they sent you a cheque or credited your account?

 

If it is a cheque, you can either send it back with your letter or keep it but don't cash it, because if you take the benefit of the offer, at this stage, the bank could argue that by accepting the payment, you are accepting the final offer.

If it is a credit to your account, then leave it, untouched, in your account, until the claim is finished.

 

Your last paragraph reads.

I trust this clarifies my position and will await a response before any further action is taken with regards to the cheque you have issued to me.

 

Replace this with...

I require repayment in full of this money. If you do not comply fully within 14 days then I shall begin a claim against you for the full amount plus interest, plus my costs and without further notice.

 

Good luck with your claim.

 

Regards, Rooster.

Thank you for the quick replys, yes it was a cheque they issued to me Rooster, it as yet has not been cashed. I thought I could cash it as the letter I have issued states it will be accepted as part payment only, however im not currently in need of the money so would be willing not to cash it.

 

And yes I am afraid the letter detailed in my previous post has already been sent to Mr Kirdy so the change you suggest cannot be actioned.

 

Just to confirm then, I should definetly NOT cash this cheque??

Hi, any help greatly recieved.

 

First off, I have court tomorrow for a prelim hearing against the CB in Glasgow sheriff court, my son in law will be representing me as he has been through the process against LTSB.

 

I today recieved a second settlement offer offering full charges + £39 costs and judicial interest from the date the summons was served on CB.

 

I understand this is standard in Scotland but differs in England, however on my summons box 4 (claim - form of decree or other order sought) this is what I put " The pursuer claims from the defender the sum of £xxx.xx, the pursuer would ask the court to consider that judicial interest be added to that sum at the rate of 8% per annum from the date of service on each individual penalty charge together with any/all expenses of bringing this action to court."

Now my intention is to ask the court as I will show the charges are unfair and unlawful that interest be calculated from the date of service to my bank account.

Would anyone have an opinion as to whether the sheriff would allow me to request this.

Hi,

 

I recieved a cheque today from the CB offering me £1563 of £2220 claim. They state that the interest that I have applied is only vaild from the date that the summary cause was served on them.

 

As per you...I plan to reject this offer and not cash the cheque. My 3rd court hearing at Perth Sheriff Court will be heard on the 2nd of March, however during my 2nd hearing the judge said that the CB had 2 weeks to come back and agree on a settlement. This 2 weeks no ends this coming Friday.

 

Is the CB's point about the interest only being applied from when the summons has ben served valid?

I think that if you claimed 8%, then that is from date of charges to date of action being raised. That is the amount you are claiming. But then when the action is won, it so happens that judicial interest of 8% is paid from date of serving the papers to the date of settlemet.. For most cases both ratea have been the same, save for contractual interest, where many and more and more are being successful. In that case the first interst rate applying to charges is that contractual rate and then same as before, 8% is applied from date of raising action to date of settlemnt

Although not familiar with the Scottish system of law, but as long as you put on your claim that you were claiming from the date of the charge to the date of the settlement, which I believe you have, then I don't think the Sheriff will have a problem. Best way to find out is to ask him when you see him.

 

EDIT oops, seems you have already been to court before I posted this. How did you get on?
