    • Hi, I am aware there’s been few threads about this already but just wanted to confirm information on my case. I was with Village gym last year(2023) on initial 6 month usual contract they do, I lost my job and due to that I couldn’t afford to pay for gym nor I had any motivation to go to gym at that time so they sent me arc phone message in September 2023 that I owed them £140 so I paid them back on instalments in 2 months time.  Then I started receiving new years deals in December 2023 and I decided to give them a call but they never mentioned anything about 6 month contract or anything, only that it would be monthly rolling contract and I paid them for 2 months and then I realised both months they charged me £59 instead of £38 they offered me on the phone when I mentioned that I am still student, even though before I was paying £43 a month in mid 2023. I spoke to gym entrance lady and she said I should give a call to gym on the phone number so I did and whoever answered said they’ll pass my info to manager and he will give me a call back in 24 hours, of course no one called me back so I called again and they said same thing. And of course once again no one got in touch with me so I got tired of them charging me more than they should and decided to cancel my direct debit and stopped going there as I got new job with rotation shifts which is not good for me as I cannot visit gym after I finish at 10pm every second week.  And now in April I received arc message saying this :  Also they have my old flat address where I used to live. What is the  best thing to do for me please? Thank you!

    • 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 would have thought that HSBC would have to send everything relating to the case to DG, but DG sometimes request that you send a copy of your charges to them after you have filed with the courts. I'm beginning to wonder if HSBC actually talk to DG at all!

I know what you mean, why would they file a defence when HSBC Bank sent me a full offer, albeit late??

 

I think i will send it to them so they have all the facts on the table from the beginning rather than asking me for more information later. Will also send a copy of my reply letter to HSBC stating that as letter was received after i had submitted an MCOL, it is not acceptable to me and wish to proceed with my claim as filed and then everybody is clear on the current situation.

even saying that pete - dg never acts like they have received a copy of the breakdown from the court - they always ask for one - maybe they are just sealed up in a room somewhere with no outside communication at all except one phone call a day and they let the postman in and out quickly.

  • 1 month later...

... HSBC Filed a defence at the last minute back in May, i had a letter from the court advising me of this and a Notice of Transfer of Proceedings dated 22nd May and haven't heard anything else since.

 

Is there something i should be doing?

 

Also if i go to court what evidence will i need to show the judge? How likely is it to end in a court case?

 

Any help would be apprecaited.

the local court will be in touch - they may or may not require an aq to be filed - most local courts are dispensing with it - see post one of this thread:New---after 28 Days - Maybe No Aq!!!!!!!

 

these cases still aren't going to court - but it may be necessary to produce the court bundle at some point - so i've written a new thread with that in mind - but don't even think of doing it until you are asked for it.

 

mainly now, you need to wait to hear what the local judge directs - you should hear within a couple of weeks - if you hear nothing for 2 weeks - ring the local court with your claim number and ask what the next step is.

Hi, it does take a long time for your local court to write to you, your case will have to go before the judge and he will decide which way he wants to play it and then you will get a letter. They are really busy at the mo. and it can take about a month before you hear anything. On the plus side thay are usually pretty helpful and wouldn't mind if you phoned up and asked nicely if they wouldn't mind telling you an update on your case and if/when it was going before the judge.

Don't worry too much about what you need to take to court yet, it probably won't get that far, and this site has all the info. about what you need. Its called a basic court bundle and Lateralus has just done a brilliant post called court bundles for dummies with everything you need to know in it.

I would ring the local court and ask if they wouldn't mind updating you and also you could do a nudge letter to DG the HSBC solicitors with an updated spreadsheet of charges.And just read as much as you can on this site,:)

Hope this helps a bit.

Ok thank you, I have just read a thread about this and i will do lots of reading in the meantime, it would have been 3 weeks tomorrow since it has been transfered, so will give they a call in the morning to see whats happening as due to go away soon and don't want to miss anything important.

It tool from the 12th April to the 9th may for my local court to send anything to me. If you haven't heard anything after a week or so, give your local court a ring and ask them what is happening. also ask if an AQ is to be done and if not will the AQ fee still be payable. As for DG, send a nudge letter every 10-14 days or so together with a copy of your schedule of charges. If you are claiming the daily interest aswell just add a note to the bottom of your schedule telling them how many days has passed since you have filed your claim, your daily interest rate and the daily interest accrued to date.
