    • The Letter of Claim information is not absolutely essential, but it would be useful for two reasons. Firstly, judges take a dim view of companies or individuals who rush to court without giving the other party notice and a chance to settle - the Letter of Claim.  If they didn't send it we could include this point in your defence and it would be detrimental to them. Secondly, we know Countrywide.  They are a very small cowboy company.  The are reluctant to do court, simply becasue they are very bad  at it.  Their record of beating Caggers in front of a judge is exactly 0%.  They have lost every time.  They send the Letter of Claim also to look for people who don't reply, thinking that the person might not reply to a claim form either, giving them an easy default win.  Conclusion - always best to reply to a Letter of Claim and ridicule the PPC's case.
    • Any update here? I ask as we have someone in a similar situation.
    • Thanks!  I already sent the acknowledgement as i panicked and thought today was the last day to respond.  Then i remembered this wonderful forum.  I'll follow the steps in the sticky next.
    • It's possible.  I suffer from ADHD and also anxiety and depression currently and struggle with paperwork.  I'll have a search around to see if i can find anything.  If they did send something I haven't replied.  I thought there's no way that they will pursue this because I know for a fact i didn't park in a private space and the evidence they have sent is so ridiculous.  What impact does this other paperwork have?
    • The particulars of claim doesn’t mention statement of accounts.  Should I include that in the cpr letter?

    • 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 I'm new to all this and am trying to get my head round a few things -

Firstly before i notify Nationwide that I want my charges back should I open another account ( i did see the advice on parachute accounts) it's just that I have such a BAD BAD credit rating I'm worried about N/W closing my account - also has anyone been sucsessful getting their charges back before starting court proceedings (cause that just scares me! big wus I know) However I feel N/W have ripped me off and I am sending my SAR letter on the 31st - any advice in the simplest terms (cause it does take me a while to get the jist of things!) would be great!:-D

Hi Merlin,

 

Welcome to the forum. I haven't got the credit rating of an angel but I managed to open a NatWest Step account. It was very quick, easy and painless. Not sure about payouts before court claims are issued. Don't worry about it.

Follow all the instructions to the letter - FAQs & Step-by-step instructions

They are tried and tested - have you seen just how much CAG members have successfully reclaimed to date?

Read this before you start so you are aware of what you are getting yourself into:

IMPORTANT Things You REALLY Need To Know

N/W will try to intimidate/deter you all the way. Have faith in what you're doing - it's your money

 

If you need anymore advice or support just ask.

Hi merlin and sound advice there, just a couple of things to note, when you are in the process of claiming YOUR money back if you are not 100% sure then ask away before you act on it, and always update your thread as you go along, this will help other peeps give advice looking at your history, good luck.

Just another quick question - I donn't think I was ever defaulted by N/W never recieved a letter - but when a D/D bounces does this mean N/W set a default against you?

I don't think so. Well, certainly not in my case. Maybe someone could verify that.

 

You can use Credit Expert from Experian to check you credit report for Default Notices. They offer a free 30 day trial, just remember to cancel it after.

Of course! They still have your money. You just don't need to ask for the removal of default notices.
