    • Oh, one other thing. It may sound a silly question, but as they say - silly questions are better than silly mistakes. The correspondence address in the current case and the previous one is correct and current. I've never actually written to the banks to confirm my address, as is regularly advised, because I presumed if Moriarty/IDR/J&P are using that address, there would be no need to. So because both cases seem to have my address correct, should I still write to the bank or take it that there's no need in this instance?
    • Yep, that's it @dx100uk - thanks for the clarification. My bad... Cheers again for all your help 👍
    • Hi all Just coming back to this Forum, as it helped me so much a few years back with ADCB/Moriarty. So I've had the circulars from IDR chasing Emirates NBD debt. They've been on and off over past few years, seem to be a run of letters, emails SMS and then go quiet, then start again.   A few months ago, same started with J&P, just a basic letter, email, sms asking to get in contact. Then last week I saw an email from Emirates NBD saying J&P were acting on their behalf. Up to this point, the main thrust of the letter seems to be please contact us, or contact ENBD about payment. Then I received a letter - I can't scan/upload it at this time but I will as soon as I can - which appears to be similar to what I've seen on other threads. Namely giving bank details of ENBD, saying they've been "instructed to pursue action", and saying they've enclosed a copy of Information Sheet, Reply Form in compliance of Pre-Action Protocol They state I have 30 days from date on letter to reply, and "if you fail to do so our client may have no option but to pursue further action against you". I'm of the view, as per advice on other threads and my experience with the other lender/company, to reply as per thread #5 in the main thread. On the basis that I wouldn't wish to give them ammunition by not replying or missing the opportunity. I'm aware that on some threads, in similar situation, one poster had been advised by sols not to reply and apparently J&P didn't progress from there, other than sending same requests. I feel these things are always down to the individual's choice, and I'm keen to see what others may have done/may be doing so will actively read other threads also.   Please feel free to ask if I can help with anything, or share any opinions, and in the meantime I'll get the uploads done ASAP.   Thanks again for everyone's help in the past, and hopefully the future, and good luck to all

    • 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.

Thanks a lot :) . Do you have a template letter about refusing a full and final settlement offer but making another offer of settlement before the court date. Abbey offered me £1700 but I want to tell them that i won't go to court if they pay me £2000 ( they owe me around £2300). I'm ready to settle for £ 2000 and avoid the court. I need a ready made letter please. Thanks a lot in advance.

I need urgent help i've just received this order general form of judgment sent by the court What does it mean? do I have to prepare the bundle for wednesday or not yet? :

 

1) the action is stayed until wednesday 20th june 2007 during which period the parties shall try to settle the matter or narrow the issues or refer the matter to mediation...

 

2)by 4 pm on wednesday, 20 th june 2007 the claimant shall notifiy the court in writing of the outcome of negociations ( without disclosing any matters which remain subject to without prejudice terms) and what, if any, further directions are required. Failure to comply with this direction or to engage properly in negociationns may result in the application of sanctions. If settlement has been reached, the parties shall lodge a consent order signed by all of them.

 

3) Because this order has been made by the court without considering representations from the parties, the parties have the right to apply to have the order set aside varied or stayed. A party wishing to make an application must send or deliver theapplication to the court ( together with any appropriate fee )to arrive within seven days of service of this order.

 

I am about to email inga to ask her to settle before court as i can't reach her by phone, can you help me and give me a nice ready made email?

I EMAILED INGA YESTERDAY WITH A SETTLEMENT OFFER, HERE IS WHAT SHE REPLIED, THE JUDGE GAVE US UNTIL TOMOROW 4 PM TO SETTLE, WHAT SHOULD BE MY NEXT MOVE? (it's my second or third attempt to settle only coz I was in hospital for 2 weeks):

Without prejudice"

 

Dear Madam

 

Thank you for your email, however we are instructed to reject your offer. Our offer of £1716.50 is more than reasonable in view of the transactions that have occurred on your account. Further, we do not believe that an offer of settlement representing a £188.00 reduction in the total value of your claim 1 day prior to the end of a period of stay for settlement, represents a genuine attempt by you to resolve this matter without recourse to the Courts.

 

There is no entitlement to claim for preparation for a court bundle that has not been ordered to be served by the Court.

 

Should you wish to reconsider your position we will be more than happy to continue discussions.

 

Kind regards,

 

Inga Kirkman

:( How come nobody is helping me anymore:-? ??? What did I do wrong?

I wrote to the judge last week ( at the end of the stay period) saying that no settlement was agreed between abbey and myself because their offer was not reasonable and that abbey had refused my offer. I asked for a court date. I've since written to inga three times and given her more chances to pay me the amount that I want out of court but she 's ignored me completely and hasn't even bothered reply. ANY ADVICES ARE WELCOME. Thank you. Please reply, a bit of support would be nice especially at this time.

Hi there

 

I really can't offer you much help, but at least this will bump your thread back up to the top.

 

Are you using the new email address for Inga & Co? Read on another thread that they moved offices last week and changed emails.

 

It is now [email protected] if that helps. She is out of the office on Monday but you should get an auto response with another name on it - Ronan Coyle I think - to contact.

 

Hope that helps a bit.

 

Best regards

:) Good news everyone I WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Inga and I agreed to settle at £2000 and I haven't received any directions from the court or court date yet (in total it was £ 2300 including costs and interest). I harassed her with emails until she accepts to pay £2000. That's great!! I'm so happy!!:razz: Thanks to you and to this site. I will make a donation as soon as I receive the monies.

 

Just a final question: I asked Inga to post me a cheque but she replied that if my account was opened it will be paid in it but I really want a cheque, is this normale procedure??? Don't I have a choice to choose between a money transfer or a cheque???:confused: ( as I'm £1000 overdrawn, I don't want my money to go into this account just in case they decide to stop my overdraft facility taking half of the refunded money)

EXCELLENT NEWS :D

 

Really chuffed for you, on one hand.........

 

But, on the other, they do seem to insist on paying the settlement into an open Abbey account :( - however, it then clears your o/d and gives you cash in hand, so it's not too bad?

 

Take care and best regards

Hi everyone.I am back:( after winning my case against Abbey last year.

This time Abbey charged me again around £800. So I followed AGAIN the same route as before, took them to court. After sending the AQ I received(a month later) a court oder: the claim is stayed bla bla bla until 15th June. At the end the letter says within 28 days of the end of the period of stay the claimant and the defendant shall notify the court in writing of their proposals for he further case management of the claim,by agreement if possible (dated 15May) :confused:not sure what to do?? Can you explain plz? What should I do now?
