    • 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.

no, I think Bill and I are agreed that we should use the current rate. Not that I'm an expert on the subject but Bill has done a lot of work on it. I think if you can understand why you're choosing one way over another it helps if you have to back up your argument in court. Funny enough we have just been covering that topic in Livelylads thread.

Oddly, P'O, I've been looking into this, but hadn't noticed that they keep changing. Chatting to some of them, apparently it can be quite hard work, so I reckon they have to take time off to unwind from dealing with us lot !! I expect there's a kind of rota system. Any Pinkies care to break the "Official Secrets Act" here ?

Do Pinkies get time off ? Do they go blue again for a bit, to take a break ?

 

It can be tough work, by all accounts, dealing with us lot !!!

 

Hi Bill.

 

Site helpers (and mods of course) are all volunteers and we all do what we do because we like to help people to stand up to the organisations that have walked over us all for so long.

 

There's no specific "tour of duty" but there aren't that many of us compared to a site with a membership of around 100,000 so it can be a bit hectic sometimes. OTOH most of us have various areas of specialisation (mainly gained from our own and others experiences although there is training as well) - about the tactics of a particular bank say, or specific legislation; mine is Lloyds TSB and the Consumer Credit Act.

 

We all come and go by necessity really, some of us have day jobs, others not, some, like me are self-employed and so can never predict our availability but we all have one thing in common - we all spend way too much time on here :D Virtually my every spare moment is spent on here.

 

There is a small turnover of "pinks" but it's not a lot and we've had quite a few new pinkies brought onto the team recently. There's still not many of us though :)

 

It can be hard work sometimes, welcoming new members can be especially hard because we have to remember what it was like when we were newbies and how confused and scared we were and then try to lead others through the same minefield without making any assumptions.

 

It's pretty good on the whole, and we all keep learning more and more and are thus able to help others that bit better.

 

I dunno if that ramble helps at all? :D

There is no doubt that in law if the rate of interest is specified in the contract then you are entitled to claim that rate. That is the "contractual rate" of interest. It is only a question of arguing to the judge that there is an implied term which permits a contractual rate. In any other type of contract which interest is not referred to at all this would probably be impossible and you have to rely only on the 8% in court. However because you are dealing with a financial institution and there is an express rate of interest in the contract for the benefit of the bank when it lends money, in my view it now becomes possible to say that there is an equivalent term which benefits the customer when the bank owes the customer money.

 

I certainly don't see any risk. You simply have to claim the 8% under the County Court act in the alternative. You'll get one of them. Hopefully it will be the higher implied contractual rate.

 

Charging the unauthorised rate is of course much more attractive. The arguments are exactly the same and in theory if you could win on the basis of one being you could succeed on the faces of the other. The principle of mutuality is identical. It is simply that it seems a little bold to me. I would want to feel my way on this. But go ahead if you want. However you would have to start introducing the idea of this implied contractual rate in your preliminary letter. If you have already sent preliminary letter but you would like to increase your claim by the implied contractual rate of interest, then you should send another preliminary letter with the adjusted amount and explain how you arrived at that new total.

 

I think that it is worth trying. There is nothing to lose. It can't hurt.

 

If anybody tries this please keep me informed. It will be useful for others to know about

 

 

 

 

 

Hi

Thanks for that

 

However my, bank Barclays are still arguing the toss about only going back three years for my 'notification of charges', they have rang me three times and told me they only save data for three years, i have asked for this to be put in writing but yet have not recieved anything, do you know if this is correct or just a ususal blag. They added they had spoken to data protection and notification of charges are not classed as personal information so are not kept beyond three years, have you heard of this before.

Hi Helen. Welcome - you'll get the hang of it here eventually !! As Dave says, it's six years MINIMUM. You can file a complaint to the Info. Commisioner online.

 

Meanwhile, while you're waiting for your data (and it will probably take some time !!!) I suggest you have a good read of the various threads here pertaining to your situation.

 

I'd suggest this one (obviously), and any others connected with contractual interest. Also, you may be interested in checking out the Limitations Act, I suspect that you are NOT limited to just claiming back over six years in your case.

 

Don't forget to read the forum rules and FAQ's, if you haven't yet.

 

It seems a lot of reading, but you will eventually start to focus and get a grasp of what you will need to do.

 

Relax and take your time. Hurry, and you may trip !!

 

Hope that helps.

Have spent ages reading through... I am about to my a moneyclaim through the courts using the contractual amount of interest... but am getting baffled with the court bundle... how do I work out the daily rate?

Hi again, Maxine. Bl**dy well done, if I may say so, for reading through this thread. Take a break !!

 

Firstly, if you're claiming contractual, then your claim particulars will be too long to fit on the MCOL form. To avoid problems, you might want to consider using the N1 method instead, which is what a lot of people are finding is better for this.

 

Secondly, if you've read up, then you can't go far wrong using Mindzai's example of claim particulars. This covers the alternatives, which I believe are important to include.

 

Don't worry about the court bundle - you won't need that unless it has to actually go to court. Just get your figures right first. If they're wrong, then your entire claim is wrong. Then you can put the figures into your Particulars of Claim (POC). As for the daily rate, some people just put that down as "as calculated in the schedule of charges" - but others work out a flat daily rate by advancing their spreadsheet date by one day, and noting the difference in interest.

 

HTH

back up back up back up folks.

 

Contractual interest I.e the interest in the contract is based on the bank's lawyers assumption that bank charges are lawful because they pay fir the bank's charges. Is this there argument in your opinion?

 

Or are they saying because it states in the contract we have supposed to have signed in good "honest" faith, that these claims are in there view lawful?

 

 

Well the banking code "is not LAW" Common law is a policeman's law it is not something that was ordinarily written down and uphold in court.

 

You may argue that there has been a lot of common law cases and there has believe me but it is still not commonly used at least in the case of the small claims department..

 

 

When approaching court for the first time after simply touching on the threads available on the site, they suggest a "pack" is needed on top of the approach letter.

 

I am not a lawyer I am a trainee probationary special constable. I do not claim to understand all the aspects of law nor can any one.

 

But before we go to court it may be a good idea if the judge knows exactly what we are going to be claiming to the exact word.

 

If we can all get out thinking caps on and out typing finger out then I would be interested in seeing what comes out of this. :-)

James, I wholeheartedly agree that people need to read up and prepare properly before they sue a multinational and maybe step in a Court.

 

Not sure what point you're making about contractual interest, so I'll let that go. But on Common Law, I hope you weren't implying that Common Law is a PC's common sense. Common Law (precedent derived from Courts' consideration of Statute Law down the years) is as important in Small Claims Court as it is in any other Court. Precedent can't be set in Small Claims - far as I know that's the only difference in principle. Regards Mad Nick

You will find that MCOL does not allow enough space to include the necessary info in your POC claim to cover contractual interest. I would consider filling in a hard copy instead.

Contractual interest is interest stated within the contract.

 

It's important to realize there is no rights or wrongs before you get to court when asking for interest. Ive heard of people getting 29.9% or variations of that before they get to court.

 

Court can award you 8% if your claim is successful and if you have claimed under law then it will be.

 

How much do you think you should be given ? This is the amount you should be claiming back before you get to court.

 

But when you get to court you can only claim back whats been lawfully taken from you. (isn't it great when you no whats going on of course it is :-D)
