    • We need to see the actual document from the IAS where it is written - "The Operator's evidence shows no payment for the Appellant's vehicle, or anything similar. It does show two payments for the same registration in quick succession. I would take a reasonable guess, based on the circumstances described, that the person paying has paid for the registration of the person they assisted again." You can't just type it up yourself. At the hearing in July or August or whenever the judge will have two Witness Statements. One from Bank's director says you never made a second appeal. You say you did make a second appeal and the IAS concluded that payment was made. The judge will immediately twig that either you or the director is lying.  But who? Fail to show the documentation form the IAS and instead just produce something you've typed yourself will make it look like you just made up the appeal and you are lying and you will lose the case. Please let us see what the IAS adjudicator sent.
    • I used to have a retail outlet in London selling my husband's photography.  We also had a co-op with staff so they weren't directly employed by me, but I paid for the other overheads etc.  When my husband died, I carried on as usual for a while but then I became ill and moved quite far away so logistically was becoming very difficult.  I came to an arrangement (verbal) with one of the guys I trusted, that I would send him the images to print and sell as normal, and I wouldn't take any money, as a short term solution until I got back on my feet and worked out the best way to do things. He would pay all the  rent, insurance etc... Over a year later, not able to give things away for free anymore,  I drew up a contract as a wholesale agreement, so I would get everything printed and sent to him and I would invoice his for what he ordered. I noticed form the beginning that he wasn't ordering enough or frequently enough to be making any money, and was suspicious he was doing his own orders on the sly and ordering just enough from me to keep my happy.  I checked with my printer, which I've been with for 20 years, and he sad he wasn't getting orders for my images from anyone else. I emailed a few other printers to ask them to keep a look out for some images but I soon realised this would be impossible to police.  The only option really would be to buy a print from him and check the stamp on the back of it.  I finally managed to get hold of on the prints on sale, and sure enough, he did not order it through me.   In the contract he signed in 2022 it explicitly states that he must destroy all files I had previously sent him etc etc so e is in breach of that.  When I drew up the contract, I was careful to make sure it was legally binding, but before I let rip at him, I need to know where I stand.  The contract is here: PARTIES This WHOLESALE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made effective as of 30th June, 2022, by and between ############################## The Supplier and the Client, collectively referred to as the "Parties," hereby agree to the following terms: TERMS AND CONDITIONS SALES OF GOODS The Supplier agrees to provide the following goods to the Client (“Goods”): Description of Goods ################################# Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b BOTH PARTIES AGREE: The Client purchases the Goods through the Supplier directly, and agrees to delete/destroy any previously held digital images (Goods) owned by the Supplier, and agrees not to use any such files for monetary gain, outside of this agreement, either directly or through a third party from immediate effect of this agreement. The Client purchases the other materials necessary for resale of the Goods independently of this agreement. The Client shall have exclusive rights for resale of Goods at ###########, and also with permission, as a retailer of the Goods elsewhere, provided that there is no conflict of interest between the Supplier and the Client. The Client is free to decide their own retail prices, for the Goods. The Supplier shall use #####  to provide the printed Goods on Fujifilm Crystal Archive paper, with Lustre finish, and will not use any other Printer unless #### cease to trade, without prior approval from the Client. The Supplier shall not impose restrictions on size or frequency of orders made by the Client. The prices provided by the Supplier shall not increase for a minimum of 3 years, unless the prices of the raw materials rise, in which case the client will be informed immediately. Any discounts/promotional prices of raw materials shall be passed on to the Client by the Supplier, and the invoice will show adjustments for this, as well as credit for return postage of any damaged goods. This agreement can be terminated by the Client without notice; the Supplier must give notice of no less than 90 days, unless the terms of the agreement are breached, in which case, the agreement can be terminated with immediate effect. PAYMENT Orders must be paid for upon receipt of invoice, via Bank transfer: ######### Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b DELIVERY AND INSPECTIONS All orders received by 12.00am (midnight) shall be processed by the Supplier the following working day and delivery of order shall arrive in accordance with the Royal Mail schedule, or DPD, should express delivery be requested. The Client shall be liable for the delivery charge which shall be added to the invoice. The Goods will be delivered to the address specified by the Client. The Client shall be provided with order tracking, and should any problems arise with the ordering system or the couriers (Royal Mail, DPD), the Client shall be informed without delay of any such issues. The Client will inspect the Goods and report any defects or damage to the Goods in transit as soon as possible upon receipt of Goods, and will retain damaged Goods for return to Supplier for refund/replacement. GENERAL PROVISIONS CONFIDENTIALITY The prices of the Goods and other information contained in this Agreement is confidential and will not be disclosed by either party unless with prior written consent of the other party. INDEMNIFICATION The Client indemnifies the Supplier from any claims, liabilities, and expenses made by any third party vendors or customers of the Client. GOVERNING LAW This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with UK Law. ACCEPTANCE Both parties understand and accept the wholesale arrangement stipulated under this Agreement. Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Parties has executed this Wholesale Agreement as of the day and year set forth above.   Signed by us both electronically.   I haven't broached any of this yet, and I am looking for some advice about what action to take.  The main issue I've got is that he has still go those images.  If I terminate the contract, I will need to know that he no longer has those images and I can't think of a bulletproof way to do this. I'm thinking I might tell him I will continue with the contract but ask for a  sum in damages and say that if I find out he's still doing it down the line I will terminate the contract and sue him for damages. The damages side of things I'm not sure how it would work as he is self employed, and I'm positive he doesn't declare all of his earnings to HMRC, in order to find out how much I have lost, would the court demand to go through his tax self assessments?  I'm not sure how to proceed with this, I don't want to lose that place as an outlet as it is in a prime spot in London, which is why I let him have those images in the first place as I would have had to pull out altogether at that point.  I am regretting it somewhat now though.  Please help.
    • I cannot locate anything in my paper work that states 2 payments were made? Perhaps you could point this out? In reply from IAS it states "The ticketing data has been attached" nothing was sent to me. I made a response to the IAS all this was done online
    • Thanks again for your responses. The concern I have here, is that freeholder of the land (a company, who presumably would have been the ones to have initially instructed PPM to manage the parking here), will have proof of exactly how long the vehicle was on site for, as the driver was meeting operatives from that company on a separate matter. On this basis, if the matter was to get to court, I feel all the other technicalities about signage, size of signage/font, lack of start/finish times, will not be enough to have any case dropped? This PCN was brought up to the freeholder but they have advised that PPM will not waive this charge.

    • 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.

Further to my post (#620) I received an email from the manager at MCOL today saying he has requested advice from the 'Civil Rules Team' and will get back to me as soon as he hears back.

 

Also found out today that my claim was issued without query on the fee front.

Sorry I missed you, Bong. Got called away. I'll have to post on Bear Garden sometime - but "post your post number" sounds about as desperate as the "Win £100 for being the last post" thread !! Any jerk knows it's only the mods who can close down threads !!!

Can I just get something straight about interest? If you're claiming compounded contractual interest on charges & they offer in full & final settlement a refund of all the charges but not the interest, should we be accepting. Or, as they've not offered the full amount we're claiming can we take them to court? claiming the compounded contractual interest or the 8% in the alternative.

 

Sorry if it's an obvious question - too many things going on at once here...

Acerfan - I know what you mean, trying to hold all this info in without dropping any. It duz yer 'ead in, dunnit ?

 

You can of course accept their partial offer (of JUST the charges) in F & F - but that's NOT why you're here is it ?? !!!

 

You can still accept what they have offered you IN PARTIAL SETTLEMENT (and you should make that clear to them, if you do). That way, you may get some cash this side of Christmas. You then carry on with your claim for the rest, acknowledging that they have been good enough to make some effort toward restitution meanwhile !!

 

Or you can totally reject their offer and tell them it's all or nothing.

 

Either way, you continue with your claim for the full amount. The main thing to remember (if I remember correctly !!) is NOT to sign any "Full & Final Settlement" forms. IMHO, there's no need, and no advantage to you in doing so.

 

I notice you mentioned claiming the 8% Statutory in the alternative. You've read up well on this, by the looks of things ! Been there - got the headache - well done, mate. Now don't let them diddle you out of the fruits of your labours !!

 

They just blinked. Don't blink back !!!

 

HTH, matey

Thanks for your help bill-k, too much info definitely getting the better of me, specially with 5 claims going on at once - having to keep strict records of who should be replying by when & all that.

 

Will definitely NOT be accepting as full & final settlement. Just wanted confirmation as the Post Office closes at 12 & want to get my letter off asap.

 

Thanks again

Does that mean' date=' they have to pay contractual interest, before a Court claim is issued?[/quote']

No, PO - they don't HAVE to pay it. If you have claimed it, then they can CHOOSE to pay it before you issue a claim in court. But the choice they usually make is NOT to pay it, and they might then try and fob you off with a sod-off letter, then offers of less than your claim, etc.

 

The choice YOU have is whether or not you want to accept any of their offers. If you don't, then eventually you issue a claim in court. They will usually then pay up at the last minute (but that is still THEIR CHOICE). They could (if they thought they had a chance) let the court case continue.

 

It is only when, and if, it ever gets that far that they actually HAVE to do anything.

 

Basically, you're negotiating until then, and both sides can offer choices and/or take them.

 

Well that's my take on the ball-game, anyways !!!

Good on yer, Acerfan !

 

Yep, with 5 on the go, you look like you've got it well organised !! I'm sure that's how the banks do it, as they seem to be able to leave stuff 'til the very last minute every time !! They must have some all-dancing, all-singing spready that flags up every deadline as it comes up.

 

All the best with 'em, matey.

Hi, thanks for that bill-k,

Am just about to send rejection of offer letter. Would you mind looking it over to check it out for me? Want to get this right as it's my biggest claim!!

 

Thanks again,

Acerfan

 

 

Response to settlement offer.

 

Dear Mr XXXXX

 

Thank you for your letter dated 15th November 2006

I respectfully decline your offer of settlement and request, once again, that you return to me all charges imposed on this account plus interest on these charges as stated in my letter of, totalling £XXXX.XX

 

I will accept the sum offered only as part settlement and on the clear understanding that I will pursue recovery of the remainder, with a County Court claim if necessary.

 

My letter before action dated 28th October 2006 expired on 14th November 2006. Court action will now commence.

 

I enclose an updated schedule of charges for your attention. Please note, I will continue to update this schedule, adding interest and any additional charges to my claim until the date on which my claim is settled.

 

I trust this clarifies my position.

 

 

Yours faithfully

 

XXXXX

 

Unfortunately, some of my charges are dropping off the 6 year mark cos of their delaying tactics, but hopefully will get some back in interest!!

Morning all.

You're right Bill. I think P'O you are getting confused about the interest issue because statutory interest can't be claimed before court proceedings have started, whereas you are claiming contractual interest from the outset because you think that is fair or reasonable remedy given the circumstances, not because of any legal right to do so. I think.

 

I'm not sure if you can reject a partial payment of your claim if it is offered, thus allowing you to go to court over the whole claim. I'm not sure how that would stand in court if it had been offered and not accepted. I'm not saying I know that, these are just my thoughts.

 

I also think it needs to be pointed out that if the bank pays up your charges but not the claim for contractual interest, the court might have no interest in whether or not the charges were unlawful as that part of the claim is no longer in dispute. Therefore you will be fighting the case for contracual interest on its merits alone.

 

I think it would be really useful to have a new forum section for this which allows people with ongoing or settled claims for contractual interest to post individual threads, a bit like the litigation in progress/concluded forum, with just a link to their main thread.

 

As I said above, these are just my thoughts. Don't take them as facts.

Hi Acerfan

 

I'm not trying to get in Bill's way here but I think the more help and suggestions we get with these things the better.

 

My personal opinion is that you need to decide when you are going to start your court claim. If you are going to start it this weekend, I'd change it because the letter sounds as if you are still asking them to consider your request even though you are commencing court action.

 

Thank you for your letter dated 15th November 2006

 

I respectfully decline your offer of settlement and will accept the sum offered only in part settlement.

 

My letter before action dated 28th October 2006 expired on 14th November 2006. Court action will now commence.

 

I enclose an updated schedule of charges for your attention.

 

I trust this clarifies my position.

 

However, if you're going to give them another 7 days leeway, I'd say send it like this

My letter before action dated 28th October 2006 expired on 14th November 2006 however I am prepared to give you another seven days in which to reconsider your position. Failing this court action will commence on xxdate.

 

I enclose an updated schedule of charges for your attention. Please note, I will continue to update this schedule, adding interest and any additional charges to my claim until the date on which my claim is submitted to court.

 

I trust this clarifies my position.

 

(Bold emphasis only to show my additions not that they should be stated in bold)

I think if it were me I'd go with option 1. They've already had long enough to settle, plus if they still want to do so they can - with county court interest as a minimum. I tried giving my bank extra time and they didn't respond at all. I'd say the sooner you get the claim in the sooner they have to respond.

Hi Bong

I think you've hit the nail of the head regarding a seperate thread/forum for people who have had the unlawful charges refunded but not the contractual interest.

I'm in limbo at the moment waiting for direction from the judge and it is really difficult to research the next step on the road as people are all in different forums.

How about it Mods? Anyone else think this is a good idea?

hi all a bit of advice needed

my girlfriends got a claim against halifax involving c/i [already filed at court] , had an offer yesterday offering all charges and overdraft interest [ which we didn't go for to complicated ] and the £250 court fees but saying we're not entitled to the [ £2000ish] c/i. and not even offering s69, what should we do, we REALLY need this money now, but would like to hold out for the c/i ? any ideas.

her thread is here me v helifax and will be updated with more details when she finishes work this aft

Rbs £114 + contractual at 29.84% I won total=£125 no laughing it's a win

Sorry guys - I was logged off for a bit (up all night !!)

 

Thanks Bong for being here !! The more the merrier, as they say !!

 

With regard to PO's claim, I personally feel that, unless the full amount of your claim is offered in settlement, then you can reject partial payment if they are attempting to offer it in full & final settlement. However, I am also of the opinion that it is best to accept the partial payment but on the CLEAR condition that it is NOT in F&F settlement.

 

Interesting point about the court just having to consider the interest, though. Good idea the forum section on this. It's a bit like a massive car boot sale here sometimes, innit ? !!

 

Well done for answering Acerfan's query. Looks good to me !!

Personally I would reject their offer and wait for them to pay out the CI, but it really depends on your own situation.
