    • Well, it's good that you have five days before you're supposed to go there, there is time enough to sort things out.  See if Booking.com rear their head tomorrow.
    • It is an interesting Final Notice. Firstly because there is usually a reminder Notice before the final Notice. Secondly because it contains some of the wording that should be in the original PCN [aka Notice to keeper]. It could be that the necessary wording in the NTK is missing so they put it in the Reminder Notice to cover their error. If they have it hasn't worked. But the only wat we will know if you post up the back page of the Notice to keeper along with the other details asked for on Post 8 .  If they have got it wrong it means that they are unable to transfer the liability to pay the PCN from the driver to the keeper . I take it that you are the keeper and not the hirer? And do you know how long you are supposed to stay in that car park? In the past I have found Sainsbury's pretty good at cancelling PCNs for their customers. Take both PCNs in to the store and point out if you are a regular customer and that the driver spent a lot of money in their store and see if they could please do something with the ticket for you. if the manager can't help, then come back and we will give you their Head office and write to them. It is the easiest and quickest way to get the ticket cancelled. No point in appealing since that would mean they lose the chance to make any money out of you which is their whole reason for running the car park. If you cannot get Sainsbury to cancel then we rely on ECP getting things wrong so that you don't have to pay  on a technicality or technicalities. For example if the PCN does not comply with the Act and the keeper is not then liable it makes it difficult for ECP to win should it go to court as so many people are legally able to drive your car and Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person. Which is why we do need to see the questionnaire filled in and the rest of the NTK. Also it would be helpful to get photos of the signs in the car park. Ones that can be read by us, and the sign at the entrance as well as the inside ones especially those that are worded differently. Poor signage is another defence that works well and you will  need a good defence should they decide to go to Court.
    • Thanks for answer ref address/bank. Thought it wise to double-check.   When I reply to them as per post #5, what should my reason for dispute be?   " dispute this debt because..recommended reason as advised from your thread and add the debt purchaser has yet to provide any or all of the required documentation."

    • 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.

Thanks for this. I was aware of the 8% bit but wasnt sure about how to work out the overdraft interest. I sorted it by looking at the statements which pointed it all out and added up to a whooping £500!! Thanks for the reply :) Parkes

If you follow the instructions on the spreadsheet it tells you how to deal with interest from a bank account.

 

Basically it estimates the portion of interest paid on an overdraft that is due to the charges.

 

Then you can either charge the contractual rate before filing at court, or go for the 8% when it gets to court.

Hi and thanks for the reply. I have sent my letter to Abbey claiming the overdraft charges that were listed on the bank statements. I think I have done the wrong thing :( I have had a look at the advanced spreadsheet and Im finding it a little confusing?? Have I done it wrong guys?

Hello Parkes

 

Yes, I think you may have.

 

When it comes to working out the interest that the bank have charged you since you were unlawfully charged, I personally think it gets very complicated, even with the aid of the spreadsheet for doing this in the templates, and is why I did'nt go for them charges as well.

 

When calculating these interest charges, you have to break them down in to 2 parts: 1. Part of the charge is legitimate, if you have an agreed o/d with the shABBEY, and 2. Part of it has been charged due to the unlawful charges they have put on your a/c.

 

If it goes to court, you will have to be able to show to the court how you worked this out, so that is why you have to be extra careful when doing this, as it is an area they could trip you up on!

 

If the interest over the time you are claiming has always been due to the fact they have put these ridiculous charges onto your a/c and made it overdrawn, then your calculations are correct, if not you need to go back over them and re-calculate.

This is only my personal, honest opinion!

HI Phill thanks for the reply. Ok so what can I do now? I have sent the letter to Abbey last week. Can I send another letter with revised charges excluding the overdraft charges? I feel like I have screwed up big time. Can anyone help?

Hello Parkes

 

You have'nt "screwed up"! Like you say, just do another copy of the letter with a revised schedule of charges attached, and get it off to them. In your letter, tell them that the list has been revised. It won't make any difference, you will still have to send them a LBA after the Prelim, and you will still have to take them to court!!!!

 

Phil

PS. And you will still receive their bog standard, computer generated letters like the rest of us;)

This is only my personal, honest opinion!

HI Phil thanks again. I will send the revised letter at the 14 day excluding the interest charges. The actual charges I'm claiming is £2817.50 over the six years. At one point I had an overdraft of £2000 and paid it all back in 18 months. It got that bad because of Shabbys constant charges. One month they did me for £225!! I cant wait to get it all back. Thanks again for the great advice :)

Hello averyone I have had to delay my claim with Abbey as I did not have the money to start court prcedings. I had got to the point where I sent them my LBA and had also been given the good will payment of £250.00. I accepted this payment as part settlement and included that wording in my LBA. It has been over 2 months since my last corospondence so can I still put my claim in to the court system or do I need to start all over again?

Thanks

Parkes

Hi Parkes

 

You need to start your claim through the court system now as they have had long enough. read the procedures for that before you go online to make sure you get your claim wording correct. There is some info on this in the Guidance Notes on this site. Start a thread under the bank name so that we can answer your questions quickly, it also keeps the site tidy.

 

Good luck

Hello all I have sent the court my AQ and heard back from them with a direction to the small claims track. The court date set is May10 I think?

I sent the A149 in on Jan 30th to the court. I remember reading something that the bank needs to respond within 14 days or I can win by default. I have only heard from the court and not Abbey so will I hear from them or do I go for the strike out by default and if so how?

Thanks

Hi all have been given notice of allocation to the small claims track (Hearing) Just trying to get all my evidence together and the case is set to be heard on May10th but all paperwork has to be at the court on Monday March 5th. I am taking a day off to sort it out tomorrow and have photo copied two lots of bank statements which I will be sorting into piles tonight :( (Joy) I have looked at the FAQ but still feel a little unsure of a few things.

1 Can I copy and paste the evidence in the FAQ as evidence?

2 Can I realistically get all the evidence in before Monday even with doing at all tonight and tomorrow as Im sure a few of you have done this.

 

Claim is for £2817

Accepted £250 GWO but continueing the claim.

 

Thanks Parkes

No the FAQS can not be submitted as evidence. The court bundle lists the items you require. It will take some time to gather your required bundle most things can be downloaded from this site all publications/regulations are linked. You need to stick to one thread for this claim this allows us to follow it easier.
