    • The NTK is pretty good at complying with the Act  as is the Notice to Driver so no help there. I seem to remember OPS getting hammered by a Judge [in brighton I think] so they seem to have tightened po their act since. The organ grinder is the MA and the monkey is OPS.
    • @jk2054 and @BankFodder - Your feedbacks in posts #199 and #202 have been incorporated into the attached WS. As usual, amends are in blue in this draft. Based on other WS drafts I've seen where the issues in dispute are part of the WS, I built my first draft WS in the same format and hadn't seen it to be an issue before. You will notice that the 'witness statement' has been replaced with 'Claimant's Statement' so that issues in dispute does not need to be on a separate page before the WS. This is especially given the work that has gone in to reduce the size of the WS to 8 pages. Also thanks for the suggestions re: confidentiality - I agree with your views and will stand firm on this if a condition of confidentiality is brought up. I have not been approached by Evri on this forum or by email. I haven't yet had success in paying the hearing fee. I am calling the court as often as I can (during work breaks/lunch etc.) and have sent 2 emails to the court requesting a call back. If i don't have any success by the end of this week, I'll send another email chasing for a call back. @BankFodder - Also attached is an invoice from Packlink which shows that I was charged by Packlink for these services: "drop-off at EVRi - Next day delivery" and "Proof of Delivery". It also has the payer's address and there are "Origin" and "Destination" fields which have the postcode of the sender and the recipient (I have redacted personal details in the attached invoice).  I am already including this in my evidence bundle (without the redaction) but wanted to share this redacted version so that other people can consider this as example in their bundle of Packlink and Evri's contract being instigated by the sender of the parcel who has paid for the service, and further shows that there is information in the invoice to identify that a third party beneficiary (sender / recipient) is present in the contract between Packlink and Evri. If this invoice is no good, then please let me know / delete it from this post. Draft - Witness Statement and Court Bundle redacted.pdf Packlink invoice - REDACTED.pdf
    • It can be frustrating when clients fail to pay for services or products rendered, ignore payment reminders, or claim an inability to pay. How quick do you pass to a Debt Collection Agency like www.corporatedebtrecovery.co.uk 
    • The Court s pretty informal. The Judge [who you call "Judge" rather than Sir or madam] will not be wearing a wig and gown just a suit and it is advisable that you do the same and a tie. Other than that the Judge will do most of the talking .If they haven't received a WS from the scrotes either the case will probably be thrown out straight away. Usually the Judge will ask their lawyer a number of questions then ask for your take on things and then the case will be decided.  UKPC 0 Mystic Bertie 5. Then ask for your expenses time off work [if not being paid by your company while in Court, travelling and parking costs and occasionally they will allow something like 5 hours research at I think £8 per hour. Later celebrate and post us the result and how much fun it was. You will wonder  why you worried about it so much. Next time will be much easier.🙂

    • 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, this is my first time on here. I fond this trying to find a site for advise on claiming back my bank charges of £4800, but it should be more. I forgot to add the interest on. I sent the first 14 day letter 2 weeks ago. Of course they replied with a load of bull s**t!. I am now taking Lloyds TSB to court.

If you have sent the first letter without results, then it is now time to send the Letter Before Action (LBA) giving them a further 14 days to reflect and informing them that if they don't give you a positive response you will file in the county courts without further notice.

Good luck.

Regards, Rooster.

I have already put claim in at my local court. I hvent got a solicitor.

 

We don't advocate using solicitors for straight-forward claims. Why pay someone an arm and a leg to do something we can do ourselves.

It is difficult to know how we can help you, because you have only just registered, this is your first post, We know nothing of the history of your claim or the content of any letters you have sent.

Unfortunately the information on some sites is less than reliable.

 

What I would advise is that you start your own thread in the Lloyds TSB forum and post all the details of your claim there, in as much detail as you can. Then, if you should need help, we will know how best to advise you.

We have been with Lloyds TSB since 1994. We got into trouble with money due to me not able to work. Any way we arranged on overdraft. Things were ticking along ok till about 1999. We were getting charged most months for returned dd's and cheques. Things have been spiralling out of control since then. They have been charging us £100 pm just for using the overdraft, plus overdraft interest ( which i havent included ) Plus account charge. We have paid out to them as much as £290 in just 1 month, ( £210 ret dd and chq ) £80 overdraft usage. Since july 2002 our charges add up to £4795, I dont know how much charges are from Jan 2000 to July 2002. They even take the charges out when we are at our od limit, that puts us over the od limit, then we pay more charges the next month. It's 1 great big circle that we are stuck in. Since Jan 07 we have already paid out ot them over £300.

I downloaded the the 14 day letter from the bbc website, as a friend saw tv programme and recomended it to me. I posted it on 19th feb07, special delivery, checked on post office website to confirm they recieved letter. They did. They replied within 9 days with a load of crap, saying they believe it is fair charges. I have now taken it to my local court to claim back £4800 without the interest, just waiting for a date.

Hope that frightens them, but i doubt it.

Is it 2 late to add the 8% interest on now my claim is at court?

If not too late, do I multiply the amount im claiming by 8%?

Is it advisable to go as far as i can, or take any offer they may offer ?

I would appreciate as much advise as poss please.

I will keep you all informed of progress.

hi all,

i have put my claim in my local court, today i have got letter back from court confirming they had there papers served today.

I havent put the interest on to the omount claimed,

can i still add it on to claim?

How is interest worked out?

I worked mine out by multipling each seperate charge by 8%, then add them all up to one total EG : in 1 month they charged me £210 returned cheque, £80 overdraft excess fee. I multilplyed 210 by 8%, and 80 by 8%, added both answers together.

Please someone tell me if this is the right way.

Also, I have another account with LTSB, with charges, can I add these on to exsisting claim?

I would please appreciate as much advise as possible.

Will also keep you informed how I get on.

Good luck with your claims everyone.

Be in touch soon.

Hi neeno,

 

Firstly I think you should start your own thread which you can do by clicking here: http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=11. Having your own thread makes it easier for yourself and others to track your progress, and you won't be hijacking somebody elses thread then. ;)

 

You can amend your claim once it's been filed by using a N244 form but you need to pay £35 which you won't get back. So whetehr it's worth doing depends on how much interest you're missing out on.

 

You have got the wrong idea of how to calculate the interest as you earn interest on each charge since the date that charge was taken. The easiest way to work it out is by using one of the spreadsheets (there's one linked in my signature) or therer are spreadhseets on the forum you can use.

 

So I guess you need to work out how much interest there is and then decide whetehr it's worth paying the £35 for.

 

Good luck. Lucid :)

Mindzai & Lucid vs Lloyds TSB

*Won unconditionally with contractual interest (29.85% compounded)

Lucid's Account - £749.62 * Joint Account - £2019.64 * Mindzai's Account - £595.65

The 8% is per year. You will have to put the figures into a spreadsheet and it will work it out for you. The 8% is over the year and equates to 0.02p per day multiplied by the amount of the charge mulitplied by the lenght of time the charge has been there. There are plenty of spreadsheet examples on this site.

Even if you were exempt from the original court fee, you still have to fill in Ex160 again for exemption from the AQ fee (which is payable on claims over £1500)

:( Hi everyone,

I got my defence letter today with the Allocation questionnaire.

I need HELP completing some questions:

A)- settlement- Do I tick the YES or NO BOX?

B)- Location Of Hearing?

D)- Witnesses?

E)- Experts?

G)- Other information? - For this question I thought of putting down something like this: It is the amount of charges that Im claiming for. I know charges of about MAX £10,( NOT £35 ), are just about reasonable.

I have read charges should be £4.50.

PLEASE advise me. The notes on back are not very helpful!!

Hi folks,

Well, I have just recieved a letter from LTSB solicitors based in brighton, dated Monday 26th March 2007.

It says " with reference to your claim. Our clients (LTSB) are going to settle my claim in full"

the money will be in account within five working days. It also states that this is NOT an admission for liability, this is merely to resolve the matter amicably between the two parties.

Well, I still havent recieved the money into account yet. They will probably leave it as long as possible. I can see me having to fight for this, but at least ive got somewhere ( I THINK ).

I started the claim on 19th February 2007.
