    • If the legendary dx could offer his wisdom it would be greatly appreciated 
    • Hi there Manager for our soccer sixes team moved overseas mid season and we struggled for numbers so we told the ref about 5 weeks prior to seasons end that we would see out these games then be done and he told us he’d ’pass the message on to the relevant people’. Heard nothing, then 3 days prior to the new season beginning we were given our fixture for that weekend. Told the guy over text we had pulled out and the ref should’ve passed a message on but we were told sufficient notice wasn’t given and it needed to be in writing. I argued it’s not our fault the ref didn’t do as he said but we were countered by the T&Cs.    now being chased for what was £608 kindly reduced to £476 to pay off remainder of the season. Been sent a letter in the post from their accountancy team and told needs to be paid by Friday.   seen a lot of the other threads saying we can literally just ignore everything but im concerned about debt collections and credit score being harmed. Can anyone confirm if this all works/what we should do?   thanks
    • Hi,   I have given an official police witness statement for the prosecution in an upcoming criminal court case, and I am very anxious about what might happen.  Specifically regarding being cross-examined.  My statement is very short, and only a couple of paragraphs long, regarding a conversation I had with one of the victims.  I have tried to research online about what information about me the defence barrister might be able to find and use to discredit me.  I have by no means have a shady past but, I am concerned about what private information might be brought up, and as this is a case that will be in the national press as it is in the public interest.  The two preliminary hearings were reported in the papers.   I have tried to research  online what information the opposition can seek, but it is all very complicated.  I believe that they can legally access public records, but I'm not sure what information public records hold.  Can they access my medical records, educational history, HMRC, and Department for Work and Pensions? (I am a self employed sole trader).  I was arrested once, and this was unfortunately instigated by the victim in this case, so could well be of interest to them.  It resulted in no further action, however I have only discovered this week that that, in fact, this means I have a criminal record, and will be so until I am 100 (no chance)! This has really annoyed me to say the least, especially since I asked him afterwards why he rang the police and he said 'for a laugh'.  So I have started to look into applying for it to be deleted, but again, if anyone has any advice on this I would be appreciative. At the moment, my name isn't on the confirmed list to give evidence, but the detective I have been dealing with has said it is 'likely'. The names of the victims in this case will not be allowed to be reported, are witnesses fair game for the press? I really need no know how deep they can delve in to my life so I am prepared if my character gets assassinated in front of the nation. I really wish I'd never agreed to this.   Many thanks
    • A belated thanks dx. Yes I may take your advice regarding StepChange. I am finding that I am telling them (on behalf of my Son) the true balances outstanding? They never seem to check properly in which worries me. If I was to take on myself is there another way of dealing with various debts? I have already submitted other IRL complaints on his behalf. Today I have received a further response from Quidie T/A Fernovo confirming that they will waiver all interest paid.
    • Good evening  Case hearing this Friday 26/04. looking to have all my prep/papers ready.    just checking in to get update on my last post , ( the t&c’s attached). No name or address on them as per #49   thank you UCM

    • 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 James33,

 

I have just been reading your thread as I have just received a court date for the 3rd september and I am claiming £2500, but need to work out additional intrest. I had a good will offer of about £400 afew months back, but no contact since and I have also had additional charges put on account.

 

do you think it is worth a try for me to make contact with ms kirkman at abbey, if you could let me have e mail, as all my correspondence has been from james arrandale.

 

I thought it might be worth a chance before I have to do evidence etc, what do you reckon?:-?

I have just emailed Louise my phone number, was hoping to get some advice about this first as I am a bit nervous about speaking to her directly on the phone. Hope she is not really snotty with me because I'll find it really difficult not to be rude back to her and blow all chances of an early settlement! Will post back here if I hear anything.

sorry i was a bit late picking this up. I would advise against speaking on the phone but now your there dont let it worry you. apparently Louise is quite nice. Stick to your guns essentially the reason you want it all is much like a thief stealing from you and saying i'll give you 90% back...the whole act was unlawful therefore none of it can apply.

Thanks so much for all the messages of support. In the end she didn't phone last night - bit gutted as I sat for ages poring over my Abbey file making sure I knew exactly what I was asking for!! Never mind, perhaps she won't phone at all but at least I feel a bit more prepared if she does. Thanks Michael Browne for the tip about recording the conversation - I like the sound of that!

Keeping my fingers crossed that I hear something from Abbey tomorrow, not sure if they will phone or email. Was wondering whether it would be worth my while sending an email to them in the morning informing them that as my deadline for settling at a reduced amount has now passed, I am now only prepared to settle for the full amount. Do you think this would be a good idea or not, was thinking if I begin negotiations at the higher amount, it wouldn't be too bad if I then agreed to knock a (very) small amount off so that it looked like I was compromising. Any ideas?

Have just sent a further email to Abbey pointing out that I now require the full amount of my claim and will wait with crossed fingers to see if they will reply!

Hi Jules, yes I had an email today from Clare Fletcher:-

 

Please also note that I will not be able to include any figure for your costs in a settlement offer unless and until there is a court order requiring a bundle to be created and filed, and the deadline for that filing has expired. In the meantime, once we have received notification from the court of a hearing date I or one of my colleagues will be able to verify your claim and contact you to attempt to reach a settlement.

Many thanks

Kind regards

Clare Fletcher

I replied saying that I would accept a figure without my costs in order to bring about a swift settlement and to avoid wasting any further court time. I can always put in a wasted costs order once they have settled. They have not replied to that one though! How is your claim going?

They did reply to my emails that I sent to them once I had submitted my AQ but not for a couple of days initially. Another person you could try is [email protected] she is very helpful and has answered all my emails very promptly. Good luck with your claim Bungleboy!!

Thanks James!!

 

I'll try her then...! I know this sounds realy thick...but what exactly is an AQ??

 

I'm realy confused of what happens! I have been reading the forum, but certain things dont make any sense to me!

 

Like I said Abbey have acknowledged the courts, but now have 28 days to enter the defence....will abbey enter a defence or do they usually come back to settle before then?

 

But please can you explain what the AQ is....??

 

Thanks Guy's..and James good luck with your claim also...and to everybody else in this aggrovating situation!!:confused:

Hi Bungleboy, the AQ is the Allocation Questionnaire that the court sends you to fill in so that they can decide which track your case should be heard in (small claims or fast track) You usually receive this after both you and Abbey have filed a defence. Some courts though are doing away with them so you might not have to fill one in at all. These are links to the most useful AQ threads

Well my claim has ground to a halt at the moment:( Abbey are now refusing to negotiate further until I have a court date. Been phoning the court on a daily basis hoping that being a nuisance might get them to deal with my claim quicker (not working at the mo!) Today was told that cases being dealt with today are receiving court dates at the beginning of August so they presume mine will be sometime in mid to late August. Looks like I have got a long wait after all which is a bit disappointing after the flurry of activity lately. My only hope is that the judge will go with the abuse of process order but I think this is highly unlikely. Feeling really deflated at the moment. Think I need a drink.
