    • I drove a friends a car for a few days and I used cuvva car insurance to insure myself for the time period. Here's the problem: I made a mistake with the dates on the insurance, I ended up driving uninsured for one day and I got a speeding ticket. My friend named me as the driver on the Notice of Intended Prosecution as she should and I will take the blame of course. Will met police ask for proof that I was in fact driving? I mean, any more other than me replying to the NIP that I will soon receive from them? Cause I assume that my insurance for the day will be the proof that they need... Secondly,  if caught driving uninsured, what will happen please? I read it's £300 and 6 points. Is that all or is it worse? I'm only asking for information from knowledgable people. If you intent to just mock, you're certainly not helping. Thanks
    • Hi, Please find letter sent to BMW with all evidence off issues which is a link from Audi. Unable to share the footage on this forum as I am not the best with tech BMW FAULTY CAR LETTER.docx
    • This is the first item that I've ever claimed for - I don't really send too many parcels, probably 5 in the last 5 years, and only two with P2G / EVRi. I've attached two emails from P2G regarding their requiring the documents. They don't specify in the emails what documents I should be sending, although when opening the claim they were requesting that I needed photographic proof of sending - picture of the parcel with their label attached, in the EVRi ParcelShop. The second email is their closing the enquiry due to my failure to produce said document(s). I haven't yet drafted my claim letter, I wanted to be sure of this document situation first before I began action. But therein lies another problem. Not having a P2G account, I cannot be sure of the item value that I declared. The retail value at the time was £600, which is less than the £650 I paid several months earlier, so I would likely have used that, but cannot be sure. And without having an account I can't check either. But, I know that I did properly declare the item and a value that reflected its then retail price - I was concerned this declaration may have been used to single the item for theft. But now that the retail price has reduced substantially, even though the nature of compensation is to return the claimant back to their original position, without my purchase receipt, I was concerned that I may have to claim for less. And yes, I've been through your huge document store of information, in addition to MoneySavingExpert, Which, Citizens Advice, Gov.uk "make a court claim", my own law books (annoyingly I specialised in consumer law when I studied for my law degree, but I graduated 17 years ago), and so now feel that its time to either act, or drop it.

    • 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.

Hi Jester.

I think it could do no harm in asking to settle before court, on several points, Saving the court time, The Overiding Objective, also the fact that they have never defended one case in court.

On the question of extra incurred charges it would probably be best to start a whole new claim for them, i have.

Re: Jster - v – Barclays Bank t/a The Woolwich

account no, xxxxxxxx

claim no 7QZ25540 and filing date 28/02/07

 

With regards to my claim against Barclays Bank t/a The Woolwich you should be aware that we now have a court date for the 20th July 2007. I am mindful of the vast number of claims with which you are currently dealing with. Should you wish to review your position with regard to the charges made on my account then I would be more than happy to enter into further discussion with you in the hope that you might avoid wasting anymore of the court’s valuable time.

 

I can be contacted on xxxxxxxx or xxxxxxxxxx or you can email me xxxx@xxxx

 

Yours sincerely

 

does this sound ok?

 

I'm sure they wont respond but thought it would go for me as it shows i'm still trying to sort it out before going to court!!!!

 

i will still phone them nearer the court date.

 

any advice welcome

Hi Jster, I also have a Prelim hearing date for the 7th June, I received the letter last Fri so not far away. Getting quite worried, even though I'm confident they will settle before its still scary!

I going to use your letter if thats OK as I havnt sent anything yet,

I'm also going to send a witness statement, draft for directions and try and get a copy of all settled cases so the courts can see how much time the banks are wasting!!

 

I'll follow your thread and see how you get on.

 

Good luck! Kim

i phoned barclays litigation dept to see if they were ready to settle and got an anwser machine so down went the phone (i hate speaking on those things!!!) about an hour later i finally plucked up the courage to phone again with a note of what message i was going to leave and a katherine ashton anwsers the phone.:eek:

 

so i gave her my name and she says i see you have a court date. would you be able to email a schedule of your charges....yes i say. she says she wont be able to do anything this week as she has lots of settlements to sort out but aims to get back to me sometime next week.

 

she said she will email with an update of my claim.

As such, no further action is necessary in respect of this claim.

 

I would like to record my thanks for all the help I received from the staff at the County Court in the pursuit of this claim.

 

Please accept my sincere apologies for the waste of the courts valuable time spent processing and managing this claim. I do wish to inform the court however, that the decision to enter into this litigation was not taken lightly and that ample opportunity was given to the Defendant to resolve this matter by way of negotiation before proceeding with this claim. Regretfully, all attempts at meaningful dialogue were either rebutted or ignored.

 

A copy of this letter has been sent to the Defendant.

 

Yours faithfully,
