    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above
    • In anticipation of lodging my court claim next Weds 1 May (14 days after advising P2G that was my deadline for them to settle my claim) I have completed my first draft POC as below: Claim Claim number: xxxxx Reference: P2G MAY 2024   Claimant xxxxx   Defendant Parcel2Go 1A Parklands Lostock Bolton BL6 4SD  Particulars of Claim The defendant has failed to arrange for the safe delivery of the claimant's parcel containing a 8 secondhand golf clubs (valued at £265) that was sent to a UK address using their delivery service (P2G Reference xxxxx). The defendant contracted Evri to deliver the parcel (Evri Reference xxxxx) and refuses to reimburse the claimant on the grounds that the claimant did not purchase their secondary insurance contract. The defendant seeks to exclude their liability in breach of section 57 Consumer Rights Act. The secondary insurance contract is in breach of section 72. The claimant seeks reimbursement of £265, plus P2G fees of £9.10, plus postage costs for two first class letters to P2G of £2.70, plus court fees, plus interest. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from xxxxx to xxxxxx on £276.80 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £xxxx   Details of claim Amount claimed £276.80 I look forward to your thoughts and comments guys! As ever, many thanks - G59    
    • Hmm, that's strange how they got my email then.  I assume the below is ok to send to DCBL, Nicky?  Hello, I am writing regarding our ongoing dispute and the upcoming court claim reference xxxxxxxx.

    • 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.

Hello All

 

Have spent many evenings reading through threads on Martins money tips & finally sorted out my statements and realised I had approx. £1600 to claim back.

 

Sent off my first letter on Weds 14th Feb. claiming this plus the £8% interest as per Martins template letter.

 

I came across this site from one of Martin's threads and have been up all hours reading many facinating threads, especially the HSBC ones.

 

I hope you can assist me with my claim as now the letter has actually gone I'm feeling a bit queasy.

 

I need to send the LBA after 14 days - does this include weekends?

 

Can the bank stop me from paying by switch / cheque during the claim period?

 

Any particular advice I need at this initial stage??

 

Thanks in advance!!

Hi Pinkdutchess.

Yes, the 14 days includes weekends.

The banks can stop switch/cheque payments but it would be very unusual.

 

Any particular advice I need at this initial stage??

Yes. Spend a few days reading the FAQs and the step by step guide in the library section. That will answer most of your initial questions.

 

Good luck.

Regards, Rooster.

Hi guys

thanks for your replies.

 

So... 1st letter sent 14 Feb 07

 

due to send LBA 1st MAR - this allows 14 days from when they would have received the 1st letter - yes?

 

Any other posters out there sending their LBA on or near 1st Mar so I can keep an eye on your threads & give / receive encouragement?

just thought of something else. I orginally sent claim for £1600 (+ 8% interest).

 

I didnt realise I could claim the overdraft interest. Is it too late to check what this amounts to and add it on when I send the LBA.

 

I have no idea how much it would be. I went through all my statements & just added up the OD fees & excess OD fees.

 

To be honest I would just be happy to get the £1600 back if its too late but thought I'd ask before I do my LBA.

the long and the short of it is yes, you can claim for o/d interest - trouble is you don't just add it up and stick it on.

here's a part of another thread:

 

Overdraft interest

 

This is the single most confusing part of most peoples claim, and one of the most frequently asked questions

 

overdraft interest is applied to your whole overdraft, however if some of your overdraft is made up from (unlawfull) charges,

then a proportion of the interest has been wrongly applied and is therefore reclaimable

 

Example

 

you have a £400 overdraft, you purchase something that day for £200 so now you are -£200 on your current account balance, but on the same day £200 of charges are placed on your account, which means that your current account balance is now -£400 and the bank will charge interest on the whole £400, but as we are contesting that these charges are unlawfull, then the interest should not be placed on the whole amount, only on the amount that you have actually spent,

therefore in this example you can claim back 50% of the interest, however these calculations have to be done daily to truly reflect the amount which can be reclaimed,

 

Dont worry, Vampiress has made a spreadsheet that will calculate this for you, you can find it here, but please read the instructions that come with it;

 

 

so, if you understood that - then go ahead - because if you don't and you just plop it on there - the bank/solicitors will hang you out to dry.

 

if you decide to do it - you must use vampiress' advanced spreadsheet

on the tab charges and interest - charges go on the left and interest on the right - and as you put in the balance at the time of the interest debit - the s/s will pick up some, all or none of each entry. you will end up with a running total which at the bottom will become your claim for o/d interest. try it - see how much it adds to your claim

it isn't too late - if you decide to do it - once you have that spreadsheet - you do the 8% tab and that gives you the interest which you don't ask for until you file your claim (a change from martyn's advice).

if you do decide to do it - send the bank a copy of your "revised schedule of charges" but stick to your timetable - 14 days after the lba you file your claim.

hope this helps.

thanks for your quick response. Yep I realise I need to work it out properly on the spreadsheet which I will do now tomororrow if only to satisfy my curiosity on how much it will be. If I decide its worth adding on I will send an amended letter to HSBC (shall I send direct to Colin Langdale where I sent my LBA?) & should I still stick to the LBA deadline as I only gave them 7 days? Sorry for so many questions in one go.

yes, i'd send it same place as the lba (in fact you could copy the lba and attach the "revised schedule of charges") - don't change the sent date at the top - you could just put a note on the top saying "please find enclosed my revised schedule of charges. Please note the deadline is for your response is xx/xx/07 (and make that 14 days from your original lba). your threads will be merged soon.

I've done the excel spreadsheet - (up till 2.30am this morning!!). I first filled in column J putting in my monthly overdraft and it came up with less than £200 interest. I then read further & realised this column should be left blank unless the overdraft was interest free. That changed the figure to over £600. Does that sound right? I was charged monthly interest. If so I will definately send an amended schedule. Also how do you delete the extra lines before printing?

And what date do I put in period to: ??

welcome to the forum - finally!!!!

 

as for period to - i put oldest charge to latest charge:(xx/xx/xx - xx/xx/xx).

as for deleting extra lines - once i had it to the latest charge, i think i highlighted extra lines and deleted and highlighted extra columns and deleted - it's been awhile (last july) since i did it.

my son's claim was approx 1500 charges - o/d interest added 300 and then 8% interest added another 300 - just for comparison.

as for the o/d interest: as long as you are using the advanced s/s and it is picking up some, none or all of the interest debits - you are most likely doing it correctly (if you were just picking up the whole interest every time - that would be wrong, wrong, wrong - some do - please don't - it is wrong!)

as for the 8% interest - once you've done the charges and interest tab, then you do the 8 % tab - although you don't mention this 8% until you file your claim - so just send the s/s without that column (cover it and copy it) showing.

 

are you happy with all that?

firstly how do I message people - should I just post a reply on here or send individual pms??

 

thanks for your response lattie - my spreadsheet is showing 1600 charges, 650 ish interest. This is made up of a % of the interest charged but on some its giving me all of it. It is giving me a percentage for every transaction but I was overdrawn for all of these. that sound right? I havent done the 8% yet.

Link to post

yes, that sounds like you've done it correctly.

as the post above says o/d interest is applied to your whole o/d but if a portion of your o/d is made up of charges then the portion of the interest which has been applied to the charges is reclaimable. and if all of your o/d is made up of charges then all of that debit is reclaimable for that entry. and that is what the advanced s/s does - by asking for the balance at the time of the interest charge - it calculates how much of the interest is reclaimable.

 

if you want to say something to everyone put it here - if you want to say something to one person specifically send a pm.

right I think I'm happy with the revised schedule of charges so I am going to prepare a letter & get it sent off tomorrow.

 

Thanks to all for your help.

 

My mind is whirring with all this at the moment & as if I haven't got enough to think about my car is in the garage with "dodgy fuel" syndrome!
