    • That explains it then. MET's fantasy is that it's a pay car park.  You're only let off paying if you are a Starbucks customer which you can't be when Starbucks is closed.  'Cos otherwise lots of people would abuse the car park facilities on the far edge of the Stansted Airport area in the middle of nowhere to ... admire the bushes?  Look at the cloudy sky? The important thing is that we have around 140 cases for this site, and MET have only tried court seven times.  Even then, they had no intention of getting as far as a hearing, they were attempting to intimidate the motorists into paying, when the Caggers defended the cases MET discontinued.
    • She's an only child and he as a brother and sister. He has no will and we have done a check on this to find out if he had left one and nothing has come up. He has savings of around 28k His sister and brother are well off so 28k is nothing to them and aren't interested in his money. This just leaves my wife/his daughter. Would this still need to go to probate there is no estate e.g house or business to sell and the amount left in his bank is just small? When his wife died they just closed her bank account and moved her money across to his account and we just assumed that once my wife has handed in the death certificate and shown evidence of who she is the same would apply to her? We don't know yet the council have only just written to us today with a guide of what to do next.  
    • Did your FiL leave a Will and if so who is the Executor? Strictly speaking banks could refuse to take instructions until Probate is granted but In practice I would expect the bank to take instructions to cancel the DD if the Executor presents the death certificate and a certified copy of the Will
    • Hi   Sorry I probably wasn't clear enough. He had lived in the flat until December 2022 with Dementia by this time it was unsafe for him to have capacity to live on his own and he had to move into a nursing home. We had left it too late to apply for power of attorney so approached a solicitor in March last year for Deputyship. We were still in the process of dealing with it by May 2024. He passed away a few weeks ago and the solicitor was contacted to halt the application and we will just pay the fees of what work he has done up until now. My wife was the named person on her dads bank account but we didn't have the ability to alter any direct debits hence the reasons for applying for Deputyship as we were having problems trying to stop some payments coming out of his account Eon being another difficult company. We kept his flat on from December 2022 - August 2023. it was at this point I contacted Sancutary housing to inform them he was no longer living in the flat, it had been cleared out and was ready for a new tenant and that he had Dementia and had moved into a nursing home December 2022 and explained the reasons why we kept it on. As the named person to speak on his behalf I asked them what proof they needed in order to give notice on the flat e.g proof of dementia and proof that he was living in a nursing home and anything else they wanted. The lady in the upstairs flat and some of the other residence in the street had asked about him and we had told them he had moved into a nursing home. The lady in the upstairs flat wanted his flat for medical reasons so asked us once we had given notice could be let her know and she'll ask them if she can have it. We explained the difficulties and it was left at that but I did tell her I would let her know once notice was given. I contacted the company by email a number of times and also telephone conversations and nobody followed it up and it wasn't till the end of February this year that the housing manager for the area wrote to our home address to ask about him that he had been to the flat a couple of times and nobody answered and he had asked some of the residence in the street and they hadn't seen him for sometime. There was an email address on the letter so I contacted him and copied in the last 2 emails I sent Sanctuary regarding me wanting to give notice on the flat for at least 9 months explaining that it went ignored as well as telephone calls. I also stated I wanted to have his rent payments returned from the date I wanted to give notice which was from August 2023 as the bank wouldn't let us stop the DD without POT or deputyship explaining we were in the process of Deputyship. He gave some excuse about not having POT to cancel on his behalf and spoke to someone in HR and said he would contact the nursing home to confirm he was there with Dementia and if it all checks out we can give notice on the flat which came to an end on the 22 March 2024. There was not mention of back payments for the rent already paid or the fact I had asked to give notice in August 2023. Despite someone living in the flat from 1st April they continue to take DD payments for the flat and have taken another 2 payments of £501. another concerning thing despite Eon not allowing us to cancel the DD to his account the lady upstairs informed Eon that she was moving into the flat February 2024 and Eon refunding the account to his bank and said in an email sorry you are leaving us and canceled his account. Something they wouldn't let us do but a stranger. She also changed her bank account to his address despite the fact notice hadn't been given on the flat yet. So we need to find out how much information Sanctuary actually had for her to tell her power company she was moving into the flat in February despite the housing manager only just getting in contact to find out where he was. So a complaint is going into Eon and Sanctuary and we are going to take advice and ask the bank to charge back the rent. My wife hasn't taken the death certificate to the bank yet to inform them of his passing.

    • 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 have just received acknowledgement of service from the court. It says they have 28 days from the date of service to file their defence. Is this from the date it was deemed to be served (the 22nd April) or the date they have acknowledged? (1st May)

 

The solicitor is Sechiara Clark and Mitchell, Brighton.

 

Has anyone had dealing with these? What can I expect to happen next?

 

Thanks again for your advice

HI Kevin

 

I believe its 28 days from when it was served so effectively they get an extra 2 weeks

 

With me they then entered a defence and got it transfeered to local county court within the time frame and it looks as if there is 100s of cases being seen to on 25th June

The Court expects them to be settled and have not asked for Allocation Questioaires as it is all the same defence

 

Good luck

Hi Kevinbacon,

 

I got exactly the same response on my claim.

I then got a letter to inform me that my case was transferring to my local court (oxford). Then a second letter a few days later giving me a date for court of 10th August. With:-

1. The defendants do file and serve skeleton legal arguments at least 21 days before the hearing.

2. Claiment at liberty to reply at least 7 days before the hearing.

3. 30 minutes has been allocated for this case....blah blah blah.

 

So you will probbaly receive a letter shortly to tell you where you case has been moved to.

 

Regards

Bev :)

Should I contact the bank or their solicitors again? Maybe I should tell the solicitors I will accept charges of £5 for each penalty as will deduct that amount from my claim if they will settle it.

 

I should start to collect information for court then I guess {sigh}

Hi

No don't send them a letter like that, it'll make you sound desperate and they'll drag it out even longer.

Everything is going to plan so far, you have nothing to worry about.

You will receive a copy of their defence and you may receive an Allocation Questionnaire to fill in. These links will help you to fill it in if you get one:

If you don't receive an AQ, read this:

Hi again,

 

As Barty wisely advises above - don;t send their solicitors a letter.

I got a 14. para defence from SC&M with the normal blurb on it.

I didn;t have to fill in an Allocation Questionarie (and hopefully you won;t get one either). It all seems rather daunting at times but stick with it - everyone on here is really helpful and have encouraged me go on with my case when I felt like giving up.

 

Good Luck

:)

I just recieved the letter from my local court (Chesterfield). As you said before it has the allocation questionaire crossed out.

 

Lloyds or their solicitors have also entered their defence I presume its the same stuff they send out to everyone, saying their charges are not penalties etc and we agree to the charges when opening an account.

 

Also, the charges are terms which relate to the price payable by the customer for a service provided by the bank, and pursuant to regulation 6 of the unfair terms in consumer contracts regulations 1999, are not subject to the assessment of fairness.

 

I called the court and the lady said directions will be sent out by the court.

I have just read an interesting link from barty's response about not recieving the allocation questionaire. Is this what we should send out to the court as a polite request of what to include on the directions? If so I should get this printed out and sent off right?

 

Did you send this out ironman?

 

Reading some of that statement of evidence it looks like we could have the bank by the short and curlies! :D

HI Kevin

 

I did nt send the letter from Bartys link as I ve not got round to it yet.I rang my court to find out who to make a cheque payable for £100 and they wer confused -see below

 

The court just asked me to send a letter in stating I d received conflicting advice re the £100 fee from them and asking Court Manager to advise accordingly.The staff at my court weymouth did nt seem to know whether a fee was payable or not when AQ have been dispensed with

 

So at least my attempt to pay them is on file

Hi all,

 

On my letter giving my court date there was nothing about paying a £100 fee - so should I just take it I don;t have to pay one or is it best to ring the court??? I didn't have to send an AQ by the way.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Bev

Having read threads relating to further action that can be taken when given a court date, I am contemplating sending out the following letter to the court with the attached draft order for directions.

 

Just want to check that this is a wise move or not?

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

If the court is in agreement, it is respectfully suggested that special directions may be given as per the attached draft order.

 

I believe the proposed directions will further the Overriding Objectives in that they identify the most fundamental issues in dispute, and will allow them to be assessed in advance of the hearing so that this claim may proceed justly and expeditiously.

 

If the Defendant has the serious intention of defending this claim at trial as is indicated by its defence, I would contend that it is incumbent upon it to disclose such information. Further, the proposed directions are now routinely ordered in claims of this nature in the Mercantile Court in London, as well as in small claims track cases in Leicester, Derby, Chesterfield, Northampton and Mansfield County Courts.

 

As the law relating to contractual penalties is long established, I believe the outstanding issues to be of fact. Accordingly, I would respectfully request that this claim is allocated to the small claims track, and estimate that the hearing of the claim should last no longer than one hour.

Please find the following attached to this cover letter;

 

1) Draft order for directions

 

A copy of this letter and its attachments were sent to the defendant on the 19th May 2007.

 

This website has been of great help and continues to be, thank you to everyone who has given me advice and those which have submitted literature templates.

I have just had confirmation of my court date, the judge has allocated 1 hour of time on the 20th of August.

 

I have 21 days to submit my stuff. In light of the 2 recent victories by Lloyds TSB is there any new evidence i can submit to support my claim?

 

I think the court manager had taken my draft of directions as they more or less match what i had suggested. The best part would be Lloyds have to provide evidence of their costs involved in relation to the charges they provide for the service. As of yet no Bank has been prepared to explain those costs in a court of law.

 

Any help is appreciated!
