I am not sure which section Paypal Credit would come under. If the claim was issued on the 9th May am I correct with my defence filing date of the 11th June? Is there anything else I need to do?

    • In addition to the advice and questions asked by my site team colleague above, where did you get the template from which you used to reply to the letter of claim?
    • should have come here first really. What you requested was a load of irrelevant twaddle. What was the original debt? Have you moved since taking it out? If TM Legal are chasing, that should means that Perch own it now? Did you get the letter of claim by email or post? You should kill the emails immediately.

    • 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,

 

This is my first post so hello everybody. I am about to start my claim against First Direct and I have some questions that don't seem to be answered in the FAQ:

 

1) The "days to leave before next letter" specified in the step-by-step guide, are these working days or everyday days?

 

2) If I wanted to claim for a £35 charge, would I claim for £35, or £35 minus what it actually may of cost the bank eg £35 minus £1.50 for instance?

 

3) I've complained about a charge in the past (on the phone) and the bank has subsequently refunded 50% of it. Does this mean that I can no longer claim the other 50% because I have "agreed to it"?

 

4) If for some reason I get the calculations wrong about how much is owed to me and the case ends up going to court, does this mean I will loose by default?

 

5) I have quite a large sum of money (well it is to me) in a savings account with the same bank, I also have another savings account with their parent company (HSBC). Is this money safe or should I consider moving it?

 

Thanks a lot for reading this, any help or advice would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Jon

1) everyday days

2) £35 minus nothing

3) leave that charge out or claim half of it

4) its a possibility, do your research first

5) it should be fine if you are not claiming from these accounts... however anything is possible but they should give plenty of notice if they were to close them

3) claim the other half

4) yes, but unlikely as you will ask for help on here

5) advice here is to open an account with another bank.

Dam that was quick (you must of been waiting to respond :-) )

Thanks for your answers.

 

The reason I asked 3 and 4 is that there are lots of occasions where I have complained about charges and the bank has given 50% refunds (I would like to get the other 50% back if possible). Unfortunately this makes it a bit harder to identify what I've actually ended up being charged - Because I've had partial refunds one month for charges the previous month. I just wouldn't want to get to court for them to say "Well actually Sir we refunded half of that £30, so you can't have anything at all".

Hope you don't mind me hijacking a bit JustJon - you've raised something i havent considered.

 

RE point 4) Should you lose by default, can you simply launch another claim afterwards for the correct amounts?

 

Cheers

Mike

Not at all, I'd like to know the answer as well.

Also, how inaccurate do you have to be to have it thrown out of court? (Not that I'm planning to make mistakes I'd just like to know)

If your claim is excessive, the court may adjust it down, but it will not adjust it up if you claim too little.
