    • 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. To ensure fairness and transparency in our communications leading up to the court hearing, I request that you use postal mail exclusively for all further correspondence related to this claim. Please refrain from sending any communication or documents via email. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions or need clarification, please feel free to contact me via postal mail at the address provided above. Yours sincerely, xxxx
    • In the SAR, I received the original application, lots of computer print outs, yearly statements from 2013 and the new emails regarding my complaint. They sent me a £50 cheque after I chased them for the SAR after the 30 days. They said they was waiting for me to respond to an email (which I never received) before sending the SAR

    • 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'm back.....and i lost on tie break, so i'm REALLY in a bad mood now!!!:mad:

 

I must confess to having asked some questions earlier and once i'd posted them, Bill-k had already replied to some of them.....so sorry Bill-K......i'm just so far ahead of myself.

 

BUT......it's nice to see it wasnt ME who was going mad and it not working. I'm currently preparing a large portion of humble pie for anyone who cares to take some.....no names mentioned of course!!!!!!!!:D

 

I'll look forward to the resolution of 'The Case of the Missing Calculation'!!!!

 

In the meantime i'm looking forward to sending the charges of £3879 and possible £3743 in contractual interest @ 29.5%.

 

Seems like a fair deal if you ask me......after all, i've had to put up with threats from Apes and Angels! worse thing is.....it's Angels money........but it's MY HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!:p

OK - RB - Please pass me a large slice of that pie, mate. The new one should work. At least it did last time I tried it !!

 

Thanks for helping out there Bobbair. That's a nice fast link you got there, too !! I'll have to find my own webspace sometime !!

 

As I think you realised later, it only calculates simple interest, and not compound, but thanks for stepping in there.

 

Hopefully, we're back to business as usual now, then. I better check the other threads and see who else I've wound up, now !!! :-|

Yeah realised it was wrong after i posted it, have changed the file now (fixed it using your formula!) in case anyone downloads it in error!

 

What you reckon is best interest rate to apply for contractual interest? 8% The bank's standard overdraft rate? The bank's standard unauthorised borrowing rate? (things could get interesting using that last one!!!!!)

I always recommend claiming ALL THREE !!

 

I know that sounds stupid, but it is generally recommended that when we file our claim with the court, we claim alternatives. This allows us to claim the max (unauthorised) rate primarily, but allows fallback positions of the lower (authorised) rate, and then the Statutory 8% rate.

 

I have been working on a spready that shows all three, as I believe BF has asked Vamp to do one. I've got a "prototype" which I have based on one of Vamp's Google spreadies.

 

http://upload2.net/page/download/KH5DXXfx6GF1KzW/Copy+of+16_Throughout_claim_with_compounded_contractual_interest.xls.html

 

It is always recommended to only show the primary (max) claim to the bank (ie., with the prelim & LBA), and submit the three rates only when one submits a claim to court.

 

HTH, mate,

 

Bill.

Looking at my (or littleangels actually!) claim it makes a massive difference.

 

If i was to claim just the charges, and miracle upon miracle, they just paid up, it'd be £3879.

 

If it they didnt, and it went to court and i got the statutory 8% it'd be £4895.

 

If i charged the agreed borrowing rate of around 15% it'd be £5774.

 

If i charged the Unarranged Borrow rate of around 29.5% it'd be £7622.

 

I know which one i'm going for.

 

Does anyone have any views on charging say a compromise rate of 25% because we dont actually have the actual rate of interest for some periods, and saying it's a compromise rate in the 2nd letter?

Well, thank **ck for that - I really couldn't face any more of that bl**dy pie RB !!

 

Post up a sample line of your spready. Use the oldest charge - we need to know: the amount, the date, and the interest rate, and the interest the spready calculated on it. Just as a check.

 

No - do NOT use any rates other than those used contractually. You claim lower rates in the alternative, and only when you submit the claim to court.

 

As I said, use just the current published rates - there is no need to look for older rates. There will be plenty of scope for accepting less than you claimed for, believe me, they will make sure of that !!!

Cheers bud.

 

The pie always tastes fine....it's the after taste thats bitter! Ha ha

 

Tell me where you hang out.........there'll be a donation to the site for sure, a repayment of my loan to littleangel and a bunch of banana's for your good self at the end of all this.

 

Well 2 out of 3 are certs..........!!!!!!!!!!:(

2 out of three included the banana's and the donation.........i know my place!!!!!

 

Ok, so now the examples:

 

06/06/01 CHQ RTN FEE £30....Interest @ 29.69% (Current Rate) = £49.57

12/06/01 CARD MISUSE FEE £75....Interest @ 29.69% = £123.57

 

I've used the basic spreadsheet and added a couple of columns and then calculated the interest as follows: (£30*0.00081)*Days_Since_Offence

 

0.00081 is the current rate of interest (29.69%) divided by 365 to give the daily rate.

 

The letter to Nat West will have the basic spreadsheet attached plus the new column and will look like this:

 

In Respect Of.........Amount....Date Incurred....Interest Accrued

CHQ RTN FEE...........£30.00......06/06/01.............£49.57

CARD MISUSE FEE.....£75.00......12/06/01.............£123.57

UNPAID D/D FEE........£30.00.......14/06/01............£49.38

 

......and then totals at the end.

 

Amazing to see the interest on each individual fee....the second of those being unbelievable!

 

Any comments....suggestions.....or opinions???

 

Be gentle with me....it's saturday morning.....the morning after the night before!:o

Errr... I would suggest you try Bill-k's sheet that he has posted..... your second £75 charge would have earned some £317 interest using that method!! :D

 

I will do.....i hadnt had a chance to download Bill-k's as mine is a work system which blocks internet downloads. Littleangel is on the case for me.

 

I assume thats the difference between a basic interest rate and a compound one......and if it is, it's gonna be big!

OH BLIMEY............using bill-k's SS the numbers are.....wait for it...... £3879 in charges.......and.............

 

£7121.68 in interest!!!!

 

So..... On 6/6/01 a CHQ RTN FEE of £30 gives £127.58 IN INTEREST

 

This means a major court case no doubt.

OK, i'm ready to rock n roll on his one but there seems to be a number of different letters which i could use....does anyone have one which details the claim including contractual interest etc etc.

 

I've also read that it may be worth putting in the lower rate as a fall back. Is this correct?

I'm using the prelim template from here, amended for the contractual interest element as follows:

 

What I require

I calculate that you have taken £3879.00 plus I have also included the amount I calculate in compound interest at your published Unarranged Borrowing rate of 29.69% totalling £7121.68. The total amount I am claiming from you is £11000.68. I enclose a schedule of the charges which I am claiming with this letter.

Can anyone who's better than i confirm that this would be ok before i post it to Bishopsgate?

Sorry been away - apparently there's life outside of CAG !!! :D

 

Thanks again Bobbair - yes, that's right RB. £127.58 on the first charge, £317.02 on the second, and £126.55 on the third.

 

Yes, also right, RB. I always recommend claiming the max rate primarily, but if/when you have to claim in court, you claim the lower and Statutory rates "in the alternative."

 

This gives you a legally-respected fallback.

This is fine, you just need to make them aware exactly what your claiming with regards to charges and interest right from the start, and you've more than covered that.

 

I see Bill has managed to get you sorted......top man (or should I say gorilla)....lmao!!!

Yeah, looks OK to me, mate. Just one thing - that's a fair sized claim. Is it all within the past 6 years, or do some charges go back further ?

 

Oh, and Josamolly - sorry to ignore your question !!

 

The spready is fine for calculating contractual interest on both credit card and current accounts. The difference between the two is only when you use them to claim the actual individual apportionments of interest actually charged on each penalty. You will need the correct sheet if you are doing that, but it depends on your circumstances. It can be very time-consuming for very little gain.

Stop interrupting....RB's here with me now!:D :o :oops:

 

It's all within the last 6 years, the first being 6/6/01. The claim's for £3875.....the interest is £7k+

 

I know this goes beyond the small claims level but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

 

Thanks for all your help with this.......up to.....and from....now!!!:)
