    • Page 33 general conditions  "Your duties You must contact us as soon as reasonably possible and provide all the information,  documents, evidence and help we need to settle your claim or pursue a recovery." Some policy wordings are more specific than others. But even in this policy example, this Insurer may decide not to offer renewal, if they are not informed of a potential claim, if they find out from third party first. It is your risk to take. Do nothing and you may never hear anything further or the third party armed with your registration number makes a claim and your Insurers are contacted. Then your Insurers see you as someone who is careless.  
    • Good evening, The court date for this is 3rd June and I've decided I will defend in court. Following some very interesting happenings in my other claim at court the other day (thread will be updated after this one) I am certain I want to defend this not because I'm confident of it's success, but rather I want to experience the day and press on my belief (I know it's only a belief) that a copy of DN and NOA's themselves, is not proof of serving, which MUST have taken place. Much better evidence of serving, would just be proof of postage or signature of recipient with the correct date, even without the letter copies themselves. Their evidence in exhibits is not strict proof. Law of Property Act 196(4) "Any notice required or authorised by this Act to be served shall also be sufficiently served, if it is sent by post in a registered letter........." Isn't a 'registered letter' proof of postage/receipt (signature)? It might not have mileage, but its my first claim and I will be levelled up for experiencing it and trying. Meaning I can make more informed decisions on the numerous others pending within months. including claim #2 Thank you for helping me get this far, I've learned so much already and already making better decisions on accounts I don't have a thread for. I welcome discussion, thanks  
    • thats a good point. I've attached the policy but can't see anything about reporting accidents being mandatory. Unless I'm missing something?  this is only the policy document. But I can't see it being in any of the others (list below)?  Schedule & IPBY Shows the details you gave us when you bought your policy. Includes main and additional driver details, add-ons and excesses. Insurance Certificate Proof of your vehicle insurance. It shows who's covered, your vehicle use, and any cover exclusions.

    • I've never thought they were reliable enough and stories like this just confirm what I thought. Tesla owner says car in ‘full self-driving mode’ failed to detect a moving train WWW.AOL.CO.UK The close-shave in Camden, Ohio, was captured from multiple angles by the car’s cameras  
    • Hi,  I had a look through the credit agreement again, despite the signature looking legit I've noticed the below and wondered if they'd work as part of my defence, a)    The document headed ‘Your Personal Details’ has an office stamp which is unreadable. b)    On the above mentioned document under section ‘What to do next’ it states turn to agreement form on page 3 however 2 pages are provided. c)    The above mentioned document is unsigned & dated on behalf of Halifax PLC. d)    Two sets of documents headed ‘Credit Card Agreement Regulated By The Consumer Credit Act 1974’ was received containing dissimilar information. Under Parties to this agreement, both papers contain different name / address of the banking institute as well as Defendants address. This document is not on letter headed paper, the layouts are different, paragraph numbers differ as does the document content. Thanks again for any help.

    • 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.

received a response from phil beaumont today saying he was investigating. whoops, too late phil! you just reminded me to submit my claim - which i did today :)

 

LOL! That made me chuckle! Good luck circuit. I hope it goes well.

 

You mentioned earlier in the thread about getting into the overdraft cycle. I know that only too well. I only ever seem to go overdrawn by a similar amount to what they charged me in the previous month! If only the sods would let me off with a month or two then I could get back on track. Still, I'll hopefully get it all back when I eventually claim.

 

Once again, good luck.

thanks for the kind words.

 

my claim has now been in since wednesday and i got postal confirmation today. i have gone from dreading court action to feeling quite intrigued as to how the system works. and the idea of getting nearly £400 is spurring me on as are the success stories from other people posting here. time to write to mint to get my statements... here's hoping HSBC settle soon.

 

incidentally, the co-op were useless trying to open me a cashminder account. tardy postal correspondence, useless branch staff. in the end i decided not to bother. natwest were also useless. i applied for an alliance and leicester premier account online and have now got the vanilla (basic) current account instead, but it'll do. no fuss at all. thanks all.

Hi

Just been reading your 'goings on' with much interest. All I wondered was, did they actually pay up? Don't want to know the details, just a 'yes' would be confirmation that all your hard work paid off.

Am just going to post a DPA to the imaginary 'Mr Bowden'. He's the one who signs my letters too!

So here's hoping my hard work will pay off too.

Good work!

fair comment. would you really care if they knew anyway?

Surely the banks are more interested in totting up how much they've made from people in unfair charges!

I think circuit is taking the right line. As he's apparently signed a confidentiality agreement he must be honourable and keep the confidence. It could backfire badly on him if he broke the agreement, as they could find out who circuit really is and then he could be in trouble and so could this group, if only by association. I know it seems frustrating, but surely we must keep things within the law ourselves.

 

This is of course only my opinion and not that of the group.

 

Neil.

circuit's a she ;)

 

incidentally, today i got a letter (not bound by any confidentiality agreement) offering £250, which is just over half the amount i claimed for in court. bear in mind, i received this AFTER the solicitors got in touch.

 

so, my advice to anyone getting a part-settlement letter - hold out a bit longer because you never know - another letter may already be in the post.

Not 100% but if circuit has signed a confideniallty agreement, then she must of been happy with the outcome. Just a hunch ;-)
