    • IMG_2820-IMG_2820-merged.pdfmerged.pdf Case management was this morning. Here is the Sheriff’s order. Moved case forward to 24/05.   He said there was no signed agreement and after a bit of “erm, erm, yeah but, erm” when he asked them, he allowed time for sol to contact claimant.  what is the next step now? thank you UCM  
    • I've had a quick (well, quick for a thread of this length),  read of this thread and to be honest I'm struggling to make heads nor tails of the actual crux of the issue here. You seem awfully convinced that whatever is going on is worth the fight and the odds are in your favour but with how the thread has gone it seems that one trail goes cold so you simply move on to another in an attempt to delay the inevitable. All it does is end up digging holes and confusing others and yourself which means any advice given to you is completely pointless. I note that for the life of this thread there has not been any documentation or correspondence uploaded for people to have a look. Have you got any that you'd be willing to redact and upload for members to assist you? Right now, it seems people are shooting out advice while being in the dark because it's starting to become very difficult for people who weren't here at the start of this (including myself) to follow along. Right now, this whole thread is just hypothetical "He said, she said" and is going nowhere fast. Nothing more than basic advice can be given which, as you've sought out some legal advice, is likely not sufficient to actually come to any sort of conclusion. I, personally, am starting to agree with others that it may be best to consider bankruptcy and put the matter behind you.  
    • Thanks for coming back to us. There are no guarantees - but remember that so far MET have not had the guts to put even a single case before a judge.  Not once. Yours is one of seven court cases. Three ongoing like yours. In two MET bottled it as Witness Statement stage approached. In one the allocating judge decided their Particulars of Claim were rubbish and threw the case in the bin. Just the one victory by MET by default when the motorist stupidly didn't file a defence. So there is every chance that MET will throw in the towel in your case too if you stand firm. Please keep us informed of what is happening. Regarding being abroad, that is no reason for things going wrong, you can request an on-line hearing and we've had several cases where the PPC gave up when the motorist moved abroad. But please keep us in the loop.

    • 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.

Hi to all,

 

I cant put this off any longer, I've absorbed about as much as I'm going to at present, there's nothing more to do now than to dive in......

 

I must add that if I hadn't come across this forum, with all the brilliant advice to be had, and the support everyone in general, I think I may have either ended up as a very tentative starter on this journey, and most certainly would have faulted at the first sign of muscle flexing done by my bank. Its by reading the case studies of everyone before, and the knowledgable constructive advise from those of you in the "know" about theses dealings, I feel quite empowered and rearing to take back whats rightfully mine, and what has caused a great deal of misery to my family over the last 10 or so years...........

 

Watch this space I will report back .......

Im sorry if this is duplicated in the forum, my pc just went crazy opened a million copies and froze...aggghh

 

Back to important issues, I ned to ask what is probably a really stupid question, but is the Data Controller for the Woolwich the Data Controller for Barclays and is that who I send my DPA to?

 

Once again, terrific site and helpful people Thank you

Yes, for your Woolwich claim, you send to Barclays Data Protection.

:???: :-? Thanks Welshcakes for your support.....its quite scary specially asI havent been able to rustle up a parachute account....(details are on my post on HSBC forum).

Just use one of the template letters for the basic SAR request. If you're having problems getting a parachute account because of poor credit or unemployed etc, have you tried going online to Alliance & Leicester? You just need to have £500 going in each calendar month (and it doesn't have to be wages, it can be benefits, they don't require you to specify). You get a visa debit/cheque guarantee/cashcard card, cheques book and online/tele/branch banking which is also linked to the post office so you can bank through your local post office counter. You can apply online and they normally email you within 24 hrs with a yes or no.

 

I don't work for them lol, but I got my parachute with them recently. Also if you have really bad credit, I think you can still get a basic account with places like the Co-Op but obviously just a bank account with a cash card.

 

If you get at all worried about which letter to send, where to send, PM me and I'll send you my letters for you to copy and paste into Word.

Hi,

I hope you dont mind me taking you up on your previous offer of help, as I am in a quandry as to my next move with the Woolwich.

I sent off 3 x SAR requests by recorded post to Woolwich, HSBC, and Barclays on April 10th.

I received a acknowledgement reply from Woolwich on 13th, then amore detailed reply on May 14th.

 

In it they included a 2 page list of charges incurred on my now current account, but on another page showed just one entry for my previous current account which was closed a few years back,( I'm not actually certain of the date. )

 

Following on from that was a final page cwhich consists of an offer in Full and Final settlement and quotes both my upto date and closed account numbers as the reference for the offer.

 

The offer made by the way does not even cover the list for the current account charges let alone adding on any owing from the pnow closed account.

 

Im not sure therefore which action to take. Do I send a Data Protection Non complience letter for the info I feel they have neglected to include, or do I send a letter rejecting their offer but accepting it as part payment and requesting at the same time the Full details as per my SAR.

 

I dont want to get it wrong and give them any excuses or let outs.

 

any advise I would be very gratefull

 

 

regards

 

Georgi
