    • Thanks for opening, it's been another rough year for my family and I've procastinated a little.. Due to the age of my defaults on this and other accounts (circa 2021), I really need to avoid a CCJ as that will be another 6 years of credit issues. Mediation failed as I played the 'not enough info to make a decision' however during the call for some reason they did offer settlement at 80%, I refused. this has been allocated to small claims track, court date is June 3 and I've received their WS. I'm starting on my WS and wonder what your advice would be given the documents they have provided?. They do appear to have provided everything required of them (even if docs could be reconstructions). Not really sure what my argument is anymore but I do want to attend court and see this through. Should a judgement be made against me then I will clear the balance within 30 days and have the CCJ removed - this is still possible isn't it? I'm going to be reading up today and tomorrow and hope you can provide me some guidance in the meantime. Thanks as always in advance
    • I have now received my SAR. It includes a great deal of information! Is there a time limit on how long account information is kept and/or can be provided to debtors? I have received many account statements which were not previously sent to me. I remember that the creditor should provide explanations of any acronyms and abbreviations that maybe used in the documents. Is this still the case? Also what, if any, are the regulations in regard to adding fees to a debt? Can fees be added to a debt after the court has approved a charge on a property. Perhaps due to the numerous owners of the debt, many payments I made were not properly recorded on the account, some were entered over a year after the payment was made! Following the Legal Charge, I paid every month until my payments were refused. I am trying to compute the over payments, but the addition of fees etc. is confusing me. Any comments and/or help would be appreciated.
    • did you submit your directions
    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?

    • 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.

There is a spready with a list somewhere but I'm going to watch the football so I'll have a little look for it later tonight Also I've calculated using the survey on the front page averages, that Abbey have refunded about 300 customers from this site, which I thought was quite a telling stat to use.:)

Hi,

Not sure if I should write to Abbey and ask for there cooperation to the terms of the court order dated.................... and tell them that I am now preparing my Court Bundle and will also be asking for £80.00 towards ink and paper and 40 hrs @ £9.25 for the time it has taken me to prepare to go to court.?????????????????

Ordinarily there are no costs awarded to either party in the Small Claims Court. But if one party behaves unreasonably, the other can ask the Judge to award costs in accordance with CPR27.14; namely £9.25per hour Bundle prep and £6.75 per letter. However, don't write to the Judge (or Abbey) Just ask Abbey for it as part of the settlement prior to Court (ie include it in the inevitable telephone conversation with James/Inga just prior to Court). They didn't even raise an eyebrow at my 34hrs. I had ready a schedule of how that was made up but they didn't ask. Clearly, if they refuse to pay prep costs, just threaten Rule 27.14. http://www.dca.gov.uk/civil/procrule...enus/rules.htm

Regards, Mad Nick

Abbey £8370 settled 17 Apr 07

Hi everybody,

 

Bundle all done and ready to send to abbey :D god it took some time, and had couple of sleepless nights, anyway its done now so lets just see what happens

 

Am just putting details together and will pin so that when I finally get a phone call from somebody I will be ready to talk settlement.

 

I am going to ask for 35 hrs @ £9.25 for putting bundle etc together and £50.00 to cover cost of ink, paper postage etc.

 

so with the court costs this will put my amount up to £1818.72 - £230.00 goodwill gesture they have already paid.

 

total due £1588.72.

 

Would I need to advise court that the amount has gone up or just leave it as I understand that on small claims you cannot claim for costs.

Foxy,

 

On my N160 ( Notice of Allocation) it says in a box at the bottom under "Notes"..........As you have consented to your claim being heard in the small claims track, any costs allowed to the successful party will be limited to the maximum sum which can be awarded in the fast track".

 

 

Is yours the same?

Hi Foxy,

 

Haven't been on here for a couple of days, glad it's going ok for you! Did you send a letter with your bundle requesting your costs or are you going to wait until they contact you?

 

I've had so much on the last few days but I really must get back on track with my witness statement & bundle & get it off to them!

Well done Foxy lady ....really good news . Am I right in thinking that you did NOT submit your court bundle ?

 

Checked with the Court yesterday and my AQ is still with the Judge !!!!

Absolutely nothing heard from the Abbey , I am a little tempted to call them but on the other hand I would prefer that they contact me , as I dont want to look as if I am begging .

 

Charleyfarley have you had something in the post ??
