    • Good Evening, I've got a fairly simple question but I'll provide some context incase needed. I've pursued a company that has operations in england despite them having no official office anywhere. I've managed to find a site they operate from and the papers there have been defended so I know they operate there. They've filed a defence which is honestly the worst defence ever, and despite being required to provide their witness evidence, they have not and have completely ignored the courts and my request for copies of it. I'm therefore considering applying to strike out their defence on the grounds the defence was rubbish and that they haven't provided any evidence for the trial. However, it has a trial date set for end of june, and a civil application wouldn't get heard until a week before then, so hardly worth it. However, my local court is very good at dealing with paper applications (i.e ones that don't need hearings, and frankly I think they are literally like 1-2 days from when you submit it to when a Judge sees it. I'm wondering if I can apply to strikeout a defence without a hearing OR whether a hearing is required for a strikeout application.   Thanks
    • I have just opened another bank acc with lloyds (i have a few already) After doing some research they may have some relation to tsb or be apart of the same group will this cause me issue if my salary is paid into my lloyds account? Also, if the debts do go into default and nothing is paid then after 6 years it all goes away? As the DCAs cannot do anything? I do want to start paying in like 3/4 months or do you advise I leave it if it goes into default? again sorry for all the questions, i am just processing everything

    • 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 the best advice I can give is to read! ;)

Start with the FAQS and step by step instructions also read some of the success threads in your bank forum.

Cheers!, right here goes with the preliminary letter tomorrow, so this goes off to Charles Bacon along with the schedule of charges that I'm claiming - just over £2000.

 

I'm right in thinking this should not include the 8% interest charge at this stage am I?

I am too starting to claim against Nationwide but for £110 being 3 bounced cheques at the exceeded o/d fee. I tried the nice approach but they sent me two letters saying basically no chance. I called them to discuss it but guess what.. they can't as the people who answer the phones don't have the authority. Today I sent them the first letter giving them 14 days to repay or I'll take them to court. Good luck!

Hi yes follow the set proceedure, send the LBA . The 8% is added at the court stage.

Have U checked out threads telling U about successful Claims using Daily Compounded Contractual Interest @ 24.9% APR instead of s69 Statutory Interest @ 8%???

It can often double/treble your Claim amount, depending on how far back the unlawful Charges were debited from your account!!!

Here's a link to a very user-friendly spreadsheet (...courtesy of Mindzai).

Use V1.9 and just follow the instructions, enter your personal data and see for yourself!

Contractual Interest figures and the fact that U intend Claiming C.I. needs to be mentioned when U send off your Preliminary Letter!

Hope the above helps?!

U could always start the process again and re-send your Preliminary Letter adding an apology for your mistake and quote your NEW higher figures!

Read through the following thread link (...in particular #18 + #19) and also the links contained therein:

Best of Luck!

Just so I am totally clear, to claim s69 8% I don't mention it until I put the court claim in.

 

If I wanted to claim 24.9% I should have mentioned that I would be claiming CI in the preliminary letter and all correspondence thereafter. As I didn't I should rewrite the letter adding "I am also claiming CI at 24.9% being £xx"

Hi Richard P,

YES + YES + YES...lol

Here's a link to a different thread. It contains a few pitfalls that hopefully U won't succumb to the same:

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/nationwide/52581-wilko-nationwide.html

 

I can't emphasise how important it is to FULLY research the WHOLE Re-claiming process BEFORE embarking out on it!

Hope the above helps further?!

Hi Richard P!

 

When U get a reply to your PL?

...Don't U mean IF??...lol

 

If U DO get a reply though, it will probably just be a standard "Fob off" letter.

The flavour of the month seems to be the one saying that "If U have a complaint, U can complain to the F.O."...or something very similar!

Nationwide will just try to confuse/slow U down/put U off.

If the letter doesn't offer U a FULL Settlement of the monies that U are claiming (...which is very, very, very, very doubtful!), ignore it and proceed to the next stage of sending them your LBA after the timescale U have previously allowed them to Settle your Claim with U.

 

I personally would send your LBA to the same address that U sent your PL to.

...Nationwide have an internal post system and it will get to the correct Dept eventually I'm sure!

The only address U will need to be precise about, will be Nationwide's Registered Address, when it comes to putting one down on your Claim Form for Filing @ Court.

Right, help needed!

 

I got a reply from NW, the usual bog off, you agreed when you opened the account etc etc

 

Do I ignore it and wait for the full 14 days before sending the LBA or should I send it sooner? The 14 days will be up on Friday, I know its only five days to wait but....................

Good morning Richard P!

...Do I ignore it and wait for the full 14 days before sending the LBA or should I send it sooner?
What is there constructively, that U could say in reply to Nationwide's letter to U, to make them give U YOUR money back asap???...nuff said methinks!

 

14 Days is 14 Days I'm afraid.

...U would expect the same if U were the Defendant wouldn't U?

Just imagine what U would be saying in your Defence, if someone rushed into Court action against U!!!

 

Use the time researching the next few steps of the process.

Here's some essential reading for U:

Hi Richard P!

 

If in doubt, just err on the side of caution and date/send it on the 23rd Feb.

U wouldn't want your Claim thrown out of Court on a technicality of NOT giving Nationwide enough time to comply with your request to Re-pay U, and possibly have costs awarded against U, now would U??...lol
