    • Before you start this claim you need to have a lot more confidence in what you're doing which means that you need to understand the way forward in the principles involved more thoroughly. We will help you and you will probably get your money back but this is a self empowerment forum and so you have to do your bit as well. Please will you spend at least the next couple of days reading through the stories on this sub- forum. Try to understand them thoroughly. We have lots of stories very similar to yours but even those which are not similar, have principles in them which apply. In particular you need to read and understand the information in the pinned topics at the top of the sub- forum. I know that you have been reading around here for the past couple of hours but it needs a lot more. You aren't in a huge hurry. Wait a few days before sending a letter of claim and also that needs some amendment as well. Come back here when you've done your reading and then we will have a look at your letter of claim and help you to refine it Also, please tell us the value of the laptop. Was it properly declared as a laptop – and was the value properly declared
    • Unsure what would be classed as appeal I first contacted the applicant then IAS. I am not aware I could appeal again as Bank state I was informed that is news to me. I would have to look through the paper work, I apologise I forget so much due to my caring duties wish I had quality time to get so much done. Will try and look tomorrow, appreciate everyone's time and input.

    • Hi, I've been reading the invaluable advice on this forum and reading about the problems with Evri and lost delivery of items.  From what I gather the initial steps after having exhausted every's own lost item claim process is to draft a Letter of Claim, I think it is called and to register with the government Money Claims.  I have got a login for Money Claims and have made an initial stab at the letter but I'm not certain I have got it right. Am I right to assume that having exhausted Evri customer service's claims process and having received the denial of any compensation because the laptop I was sending is on the non-compensatory list that my next step would be to send the Letter of Claim to them? Let me provide some basic details which I hopefully have addressed in the letter. I purchased a laptop through Amazon.co.uk which a business in Belfast sold refurbished laptops through.  They had a 30 day money back guarantee for a full refund if you have any issues with the laptop.  I have the invoice from Amazon showing the purchase.  On 27 April, 2024 before the end of the 30 day period I used their ParcelShop (inside a Tesco) to send the laptop back and have the tracking reference mentioned in the letter.  As mentioned in the letter there was they advised they could not give me or sell me any insurance because laptops are on the non-compensatory list so I just paid the normal delivery cost.  It was scanned as leaving the ParcelShop on 29 April and the tracking has been like that ever since.  After a 28 working day Evri claim process they gave the expected response that they could not provide any compensation and simply could not proceed with my claim. I was hoping to get some advice on whether I go ahead now and email this to Customer Services straightaway and should I send a hard-copy to the Evri address as well?  Or are there any steps I have missed out on first?  I believe 14 days is the reasonable period of time for them to respond so if I were to send it tomorrow, for example 12 June then I should expect a reply by 26 June, is that correct and fair?  And assuming they don't reply with a full refund then I would then go down the government Money Claims site to proceed with that? Sorry for all the questions, I want to make sure I go about it properly.  I'll continue to read through other cases on here so I can get an even better handle on the process. I attached a LOC, happy for any edits or updates that will make it even better. Thanks so much for anyone's help! Regards, Matt Evri letter of claim.docx
    • The date was 3 June. Get on MCOL now. The legal principle is that, even if you defence is late, if the other party hasn't requested judgement, then your defence takes priority and is accepted. You might be in time. When I say now I mean now.  Recently we had someone who was nine days' late and this was pointed out to them at 5:30pm.  They faffed around till 11pm.  When they went on MCOl they saw that judgement had been entered at 7pm. Every minute is vital. File the below standard defence if you still can - 1.  The Defendant is the recorded keeper of [motor vehicle]. 2.  It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3.  As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance.  The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner.  Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim.    4.  In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5.  The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer.  6.  The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety.  It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at 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.

:cool: Hi all

 

I Have just input all the Unauthorised Overdraft Fees and Paid Refferals into the Excel complex-bank-charges-calc and although the Total is correct, the Interest Tab shows errors. I know it's not important right now but would apreciate help with this at a later stage from any Excel experts out there.

As soon as I have double checked all my entries I will send prelim letter but I see from reading threads here, there are two possible addresses I could send it to...

Thank you Simpson and mumofthreeboys for your help. I noticed that I have mistakenly put the same post twice. oops! sorry, I did try to delete 1 of them but couldn't see how to do it.

Again from reading threads the advice is not to ask for interest back at the prelim letter (step 2) but reading over this letter template @ sub heading ....

What I require

I calculate that you have taken £xxxxx plus £xxxx which you have charged me in overdraft interest for the sum which you have taken. Total £XXXXX .

You see there is a request for interest at this stage. This is confusing me.

Could someone please clarify and explain this for me please?

Thank you and good luck to you all.

If you are claiming interest as per the complex excel sheet, this goes on the letter as the interest you are claiming. But NOT the 8%, this only goes in when you have made your court claim.

 

This is because you are claiming the interest back at the same rate as the bank were charging you, so you have in theory lost/not had, and is part of your hopeful pre-court stuff settlement.

 

When it comes to court filing, you add the 8% interest which is the court allowed interest.

 

Think that makes sense!

Sent my prelim letter off yesterday 10/01/2007 by recorded delivery (68p) and omitted the interest bit from the letter.

 

I have decided to download the simple excel spreadsheet and transfer all the charges into that in an effort to overcome the error that occured in the complex calc spreadsheet.

 

Encountered problems in the simple spreadsheet to. It seems that I have to put the date and charge details in the same format that the simple spreadsheet was created in so that means a lot of work as there are a lot of charges but hey, at least I will learn more about spreadsheets and I do like working things out so not too much of a bother.

Hi all

 

I have noticed that under my User ID it states that I am a Basic Account Customer. This is not true as I have a First Additions Account that I did not apply for, they just upraded me without my consent. How can I edit this in the CAG site?

I think you'll find that this is just to indicate the status of you ID with the CAG. The more posts (or reputations) you receive dictates what is displayed under your User ID.

Hi all

Wednesday 24 Jan 07 Prelim deadline expires

Thursday 25 Jan 07 Received offer of £890

LBA letter opens with

*I am very disappointed that you have failed to respond to my letter of the 10 January 2007

I havn’t sent this letter off yet because I will have to open it differently to *above because they have now responded to my prelim with an offer.

So do I just open the letter differently like…

Thank you for responding to my letter dated 10 Jan 2007

I will accept your offer only as part of the settlement and I will continue with my claim to recover full funds

And then add the rest of the body of text in the LBA? or is there a better way?

Many thanks

Hi All

 

I am now ready to issue a court claim. I have read the CAG Particulars of claim N1 hard copy version and I have just realised that I have not included Overdraft Interest

I think I overlooked this initially because I thought that as I have been overdrawn for long periods at a time and often, Barclays could argue that I have not opreated my account in a responsible manner as laid out in their Terms and Conditions.

 

I did not add Overdraft Interest in the schedule of charges that I sent with the Prelim letter.

Is it too late to add them now before I issue my claim?

Comments and/or advice would be very welcome. Thanks

Hi all

 

I have decided to do the Excel simple spreadsheet again from scratch and this time I spotted a few Paid Referrals that had been refunded. The new completed spreadsheet Total is £145 lower. I just wondered if this is going to cause me any problems as the Prelim and LBA were both accompanied by copies of the original spreadsheet?

 

I am about to issue a court claim. Do I need to declare that this is a new and revised schedule of charges to the Bank/Court?

I am stuck a bit now

 

I am on the MCOL site now and just about to enter my particulars of claim. My claim total is now £1570 and according to the Simple Excel Spreadsheet the 8% interest is showing as £435.40 which doesnt seem right to me.

I am currently editing CAG template for particulars of claim and am unsure of what to put in

 

5b 'until judgment or settlement at a daily rate of £0.xx;'

This is the only part I need to complete my MCOL

Your interest does look high. Assuming that you charges were incurred relatively constantly during the 6 year period, sum is around 20% of the penalty sum.

 

I would check again, if you are having difficulties, then PM me and I will look at your spreadsheet. It may well be that they are correct if you incurred lots of charges on in the early years. I have a claim going back 10 or so years and the interest is more than the penalty sum claimed.

 

As to 5b, after you are happy with your interest calculation, just alter the date at the top of spreadsheet by one day and take that away from the previous interest total, this then gives you the sum interest accrues at per day.

 

As you are using MCOL you need to send 2 copies of your schedule of charges, clearly marked with your claim no. and a brief covering letter asking for them to be filed with your claim to:

 

The Court Manager,

Money Claim On Line

Northampton County Court

21-27 St. Katharine's Street

Northampton

NN1 2LH

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

(Your Name) –v- (Bank)

Claim No: ********

Date Issued: xx/xx/xx

 

Please find enclosed a schedule of penalty charges taken from me by the defendant, along with interest claimed at the annual rate of 8% pursuant to section 69 of the County Court Act. The interest in addition to the amount in charges equates to the total amount of my claim, namely £(AMOUNT).

 

I respectfully request that the enclosed schedule should be attached to the particulars of my claim.

Yours sincerely,

 

Wait until you receive the Notice of Acknowledgement (not the Notice of Issue) from the court and then send a copy to the bank’s solicitors, since they are the ones who will now be dealing with your claim

 

Dear Sir,

 

(Your Name) -v- (Bank)

Claim No: ********

Date Issued: xx/xx/xx

 

 

Please find enclosed a copy of my schedule of charges relating to the above claim.

Yours faithfully

I omitted to mention on the email because you used a different spreadsheet to mine that your daily rate (5b) would be £435.40 x 0.00022 = .10p per day.

Thanks GuidoT

 

I have received Notice that Acknowledgement of Service Has Been Filed (dated 21 Feb 2007)

 

I have not received an AQ yet, does this mean that the bank has not filed a defence yet? and if/when they do, I will then receive an AQ?

 

any comments would be apreciated
