    • Have we seen your court bundle?   If we haven't then it's probably an idea to post it up here especially the index page and the witness statement so we can see if there is anything which might need adding or changing 
    • "Care to briefly tell someone who isn't tech savvy - i.e. me! - how you did this?" Its pretty simple although not obvious. You open the google maps app > click your profile picture > Click Timeline from the list > click today > choose the date you want to see the timeline from. Then you'll see your timeline for that day. Often, places you have visited will have a question mark beside them where google wants you confirm you have actually visited. You either click 'yes' if you have, or you click 'edit' to enter the actual place you visited. Sometimes, you'll see 'Missing visit' This probably happens if your internet connection has dropped out at that time. You simply click 'Add visit' and enter the place. The internet on my crappy phone often loses connection so I have to do that alot.   OK dx, understood mate. 
    • I have now been given a court date vs Evri, 4th Sept 2024. I have completed my court bundle, when am I expected to send copies to the court and Evri and should it be in hard copy or electronic? The Notice of Allocation states that no later than 7 days before the directions hearing both parties must send to the other party their final offers to settle. Does this mean I will have to tell Evri what I'm willing to settle? Rgds, J
    • Ok how about this to the CEO? I know it sounds super desperate but lets call a spade a spade here, I am super desperate: Dear Sir, On 29th November 2023 I took out a loan of £5000 with you. Unfortunately very early into 2024 I found myself in financial difficulty (unexpected bills and two episodes of sickness and the tax office getting my tax code wrong resulting in less pay for two months) and I contacted you (MCB) on 13th February 2024 asking if there was any way I could extend the length of my loan to 36 months. I fully explained why I was requesting this and asked for your help. I did not receive a reply to that email so I again contacted you on 7th March 2024 to advise you of a change in my circumstances which resulted in me having to take out a DMP and asking you to confirm that the direct debit had been cancelled. You would have also received confirmation of this DMP from StepChange but you did not acknowledge receipt of my email. I have only managed to make one payment from my loan but did try and contact MCB to discuss extending my loan, help etc.  I have now therefore fallen behind on several of my debts, yours included, and as a result you have lodged a Cifas marker against my name for "evasion of payment", which has resulted in me having to change banks, which has been an extremely difficult process because of the Cifas marker. I do not feel you have been fair or given me the opportunity to fully explain my situation to you before you lodged the marker against my name. I appreciate it is a business and you have acted accordingly, but I did try to make contact to arrange alternative arrangements and at no point, not even to this day, did I ever intend to not repay my loan. I cannot stress to you enough how much this has affected my mental health. I am having trouble sleeping and my existing health condition has been exacerbated by all of this. What I would like you to do is to please, please remove the Cifas marker and let me make arrangements to pay the loan back through a DMP.  Please sir, I am begging for your help here. I am not a dishonest person and I have never been in a situation like this before. I am desperately trying to make things right but this marker is killing me. Please can you help me? I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully,

    • 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.

It seems The Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Order 2001 applies to NI

 

The Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Order 2001

Interpretation

1. - (1) In this Schedule -

 

"court", without more, includes a tribunal;

"judgment" has the meaning given by Article 32 of the Regulation;

"magistrates' court", in relation to Northern Ireland, means a court of summary jurisdiction;

"maintenance order" means a maintenance judgment within the meaning of the Regulation;

"part of the United Kingdom" means England and Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland;

However over £5000 would mean Fast Track, where you would be liable for costs of up to £750 if you lost, but there is Standard Disclosure, which means the bank would be forced to disclose a breakdown of their costs, something they have steadfastly refused to to do. Plus, assuming you managed to overcome the Woolwich's local County Court possible initial reluctance to accept the claim, should there be a Direction Hearing/ Case Management Hearing, you would have to travel to England to appear.

 

If all this sounds too involved, it might be better to split the claim as Paddym suggests.

If there 12 W days are up i would write to them and tell them they are in default and the account is now unenforcable under the CCA1974 because of their failure to supply Copy of fully executed agreement.

They have untill (31 days) (from date of default) to rectify this or they will be committing an offence.

Hi Hughes

Just pad out what i put in my last post about, unenforcable, further calender monther and further month an offence is committed.

As it stands you dont have to pay them anything as they are in default.

You may want to get further info from Tamadus (pm Him) about weather in this situation they can process information to CRA's, i dont think they can because the agreement is unenforcable.

If they have gone over the 12 working days then any agreement is now unenfoirceable until such time as they provide it.

 

I'd just send them a letter quoting the relevent section and reminding them that they have so long left before they commit an offence. Pretty much what Al has said. You want section 77 for a fixed sum loan and 78 for a credit card.

Oh. Still unclear re wording of letter re DCA default quoting relevant Acts.

Can I please have further advice/draft letter? - I want to be really sure of my action. I feel my claim for refund of unfair charges is more complicated than the norm with DCA involved. Woolwich is now over 14-day limit on Request for Repayment of charges and they are now in receipt of LBA and the clock is ticking on that! (They would have received LBA Mon last, 5 Jan 07). :rolleyes:

your claim for charges is no different to normal so just go ahead and issue when the LBA expires.

 

In your letter include that pursuant to sec 77/78 of the CCA that as they have failed to respond with 12 working days that any alleged agreement is unenforceable and that after a further month they commit an offence which will be reported to the appropriate enforcement authority.

 

email it to me before sending and I'll take a look at it for you.

 

Personally I would ignore the DCA to a great extent. I regard them as somebody to have a bit of fun with while I carry on with the real work :D

A NOTHING UPDATE:

Two letters received yesterday - One from Barclays (dated 05 Feb 07) and one from Woolwich (dated 06 Feb 07).

Barclay letter appears to be a response to me for Woolwich referral (see earlier post) of case to Barclay (they elevated it!): '. . . while we will endeavour to respond to you within timescale outlined in your letter, we cannot guarantee that we will do so . . . however we do aim to find a solution within 4 weeks.' (???WHAT???).

Woolwich letter appears to be response to LBA (they received 05 Feb 07): 'We have taken responsibility for fully investigating the issue you have raised and aim to resolve by 06 Mar 07' (???WHAT???). I thought they had passed case to Barclay (see earlier posts).

 

I'm afraid this all appears unaccectable - not only to me but to all claimants out there.

 

Comments please. :rolleyes:

Woolwich escalate every claim up to Barclays so that's normal.

 

I'd ignore their timescale and stick rigidly to your own.So 14 days after the LBA fiel on MCOL.

These are standard letters which we have all received a typical claim against the woolwich from SAR letter to court issue usually generates approx 11 letters so as Tam has advised you above stick to timescales and as they say "carry on regardless"

if my advice has been of any help to you then please click the scales ! Thank you :D
