    • as said at least once already .....the name change is immaterial, forget it. until of unless you get a letter of claim by surface mail you ignore everything. block and bounce all emails, txts and never answer the phone. move on. dx  
    • it seems they can do what they like then. I contacted them before the date was due for the course, I explained i was trying to book and it would not let me,  I just find it frustrating they can revoke the offer because of the times it has taken them to respond, they issued another form which i sent back but due to the timing of everything it went over. They should have the decency to review the situation, I understand it was not signed but they still had all the information to see I had sent the details. Thank you for the reply.
    • My Debt has also transferred to J&P,  I was getting letters to my previous address which stopped - i still have access to but its not where i live, there a letter on the way to Dubai confirming my current address as advised above. 4 weeks ago out of the blue i get a text regarding credit card debt and to call a number, ignored the message, the next day i get a letter from J&P to my current address. A couple of weeks in a row i get the same text and again a letter. They have managed to get my current phone number and address. I have just received a phone call from 07441 362857, I answered and they asked if my name was xxxxxx which i confirmed, they only asked my first name. after i confirmed they just put the phone down. Does this sound like a tactic to try and get me to ring them back, or could it be some other, totally unrelated scam? just seems weird they knew my name.

    • So not entirely down to the ticket office, then. In fact you have been quite fortunate. The "Section 172" response provides the evidence the police need to prove that you were driving if they wish to prosecute you in court. In England and Wales there is a legal precedent which has determined that an unsigned s172 response does not meet the requirements of that part of the RTA. In effect, an unsigned response is equivalent to no response at all. (This precedent is not recognised in Scotland and there is a strategy to "go unsigned" to avoid conviction). When they receive an unsigned response the police are perfectly entitled to prosecute you for "Failing to provide drivers details" and they more often than not do. This offence carries six points, a hefty fine and insurance grief for up to five years. So you got lucky. The situation now is that the deadline for accepting a course is passed. Four months is the absolute maximum, with some forces cutting it back to as little as three months from the date of the offence. The police will not extend this because if you fail to complete the course before six months has elapsed, they can no longer prosecute you. They can only begin proceedings up to the corresponding date in June (i.e. if the offence was December 10th, they have until June 10th to begin proceedings). You will gain nothing by taking this to court. On the contrary you have a lot to lose. Courses are offered entirely at the discretion of the police, you have no right to one and the court has no powers to order one. Presumably you have been offered a fixed penalty of £100 and 3 points. If you are sentenced in court it will cost you at least three times that, possibly more (depending on your speed and your income). My advice: accept the fixed penalty and do it soon as there is a deadline for that as well and if you allow it to pass your matter will be taken to court anyway. Do not forget to submit your driving licence details as instructed when accepting the offer. If you fail to do so the police will have no time left to remind you (and they don't usually send reminders for this anyway) and, again, your case will end up in court.

    • 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 there everyone. I have been reading everyone's threads and Oh my god i was shocked at how standard the responses and procedures all seem to be and yet how different everyones claim is. Anyway although i am quite into my claim now i thought i would start a thread as i think i have quite a big claim going and i want to share it with you all.

 

Back in August i put in my first letter for my first claim to Natwest for my single step account. My claim was for £600. (Approx) Natwest wrote back and said we are not paying full amount but as a gesture of goodwill have this offer of two hundred and something. I said no only as a part payment and that i wanted the full amount. They wrote back and said no we have passed it onto our customer relations. I issued a Court claim including my 8% interest and they paid out the full amount plus interest within 7 days. I have to say i was impressed with their service ha ha

 

At the end of November i claimed back the charge for my Ad Gold account. Over a 6 year period i asked for approx £6,500. Needless to say Natwest wrote back laughing however they did offer a settlement of £1,250. I wrote back the same letter saying ha ha i'll accept the payment as a one off but apart from that i want the rest of my money. They wrote back saying no and that \they were passing my complaint onto their customer relations dept. I received a couple of letters from natwest customer relations dept saying they were sorry they could not deal with my complaint now but please bear with them. What a laugh that was this was into January now and they had already had longer than they should have.

 

On the 13th January i issued proceedings and to my total claim is now in excess of £8,000! I issued proceedings corbetts have got invoplved they have put in their standard defence and request for further information and i have to say it is laughable how standard their response is. They give everyone the same one liner. And there was me thinking i was special. Ha Ha. I replied to Corbetts no doubt not with the answer they were looking for. I even phoned them and gave them one last chance for us to settle this matter before i filed my AQ and wasted even more of my time and the COurts time and their time and money........ Corbetts were very professional i have to say they eventually dragged my ressponse out of the post pile apparently and to cut a very short conversation short she told me to go ahead and file my AQ. So i did.

 

I have now been told by the Judge and it has been ordered that disclosure has to be made by the 11th April. Iam correct i believe in thinking that Corbetts have or disclose their clients fees? Isn't this all that i asked in my very first letter back in November? He has given various other dates to get applications in if you are relying on witnesses. Also whereas i requested an hour trial time and Corbetts requested 1/2 a day the Judge has ordered not only that it be fasttracked but that he wants a days trial and its to happen over a possible date in July. Wow.

 

Anyone got any thoughts on this? Anyone been at this late stage in the game? I'm currently gathering a Court bundle together.

 

Your thoughts and comments would be much appreciated........

Wow! Haven't heard of a judge saying he wants a day for the trial. Sounds as if he thinks it is going to happen! Hopefully it won't but hope more expert people here can help :(

Thanks pula for your comments. Hopefully someone somewhere will no whats going on. Ha Ha. I have had ten years legal experience so Corbetts picked on the wrongt person for their legal jargon ha ha. As for the judge requesting a days trial i think he's using his own tactics into frightening Natwest. At the end of the day it could cost Natwest alot of money to pay someone a days wages to stand in Court and defend them..........however i'm hoping that it won't go past 11th April............

Here's a copy of the order forgive any typing errors and i have abbreviated if poss as the order is quite a long one.....

 

It is ordered that:-

 

1) The claim is allocated to the Fastrack.

 

2) Disclosure of documents shall be dealt with as follows:-

a) The parties shall give to each other standard disclosure of documents by serving copies together with a disclosure statement by 4pm on Wednesday 11th April 2007.

b) Any request to inspect the original of a copy document shall be made by 4pm on Wednesday 18th April 2007 and any such request shall be complied with within seven days of receipt of teh request.

 

3) Each party shall serve on each other party the witness statements of all witnesses of fact on whom the party intends to rely by 4pm on Wednesday 23rd May 2007.

 

4) Neither party has permission to call or rely on expert evidence.

 

5) Completed pre-trial check lists shall be sent to the Court by 4pm on Wednesday 13th June 2007.

 

6) The Claim shall be listed for trial during the trial window from Monday 9th July 2007 to Friday 27th July 2007 inclusive with a time estimate of one day.

 

7) The Parties shall serve on each other copies of all legal authorities upon which they rely at least 14 days prior to trial and do lodge copies with the trial bundle.

 

8) Because this order has been made by the court without considering representations from the parties the parties have the right to apply to have the order set aside varied or stayed. A party wishing to make an application must send or deliver the application to the court (together with any appropriate fee) to arrive within seven days of service of this order.

 

Well there it is a copy of the order. Any thoughts? I am frantically preparing a court bundle. There are so many statements to copy and i don't have easy access to a copier! How frustrating.........

 

Does anyone know how i can move my thread to the natwest forum please.

Really interested in the responses you get. Sure an expert will post fairly soon. Don't know if the thread on the alternative allocation questionnaire will help you - post 4 onwards. It doesn't seem to fit in with the wording of your order exactly but perhaps it means the same thing.

I'm also expecting (hoping) for an order to bring this long road to an end, but if it doesn't follow the format presented on this site then I'll be lost - hence my real interest in your case so keep us posted! Sure a mod or more experienced person than me will post you soon.

Good luck! Sure you will exhaust Cobbetts soon! They seem to send standard replies to most people so it will be very interesting to see how they will deal with this. My gut feeling is they can't (won't) disclose and will cave in. Hope so! :):):)

I hope they will cave in soon too. The problem is i hAve to be prepared for all eventualities and i am getting my court bundle ready.

 

I would love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar position to me and i too hope that i can pass down information to anyone who has been where i was once was.

 

Your thoughts are most welcome.

I have moved the thread to the Natwest forum for you.

This is a very good order I would expect a settlement from cobblers rather soon. Please make sure you stick to the deadlines outlined in the order.

 

which court made this order?

Hold off on the bundle for the time being, you don't need it yet - and probably never will.

 

All you need do at this stage is file and serve a disclosure list, alongside a disclosure statement - this satisfies clause 2) of the order.

 

What you need to do is list every single document of any nature which you will refer to or rely on in court. This includes correspondance between you and the bank, your statements, settled cases and statutes, any other supporting evidence, etc. You don't need to actually send the documents themselves at this stage, only list them. Use Karne's example as a guide -

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/abbey-bank/57385-examples-witness-statements-disclosure.html#post479224

 

Then fill in a form N265 (most won't even apply) and sign the disclosure statement - http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/courtfinder/forms/n265_1005.pdf

 

Take 3 copies of the list and of the N265. Keep one, file one at the court and serve the other on Cobbetts - ensure this is submitted by the 11th at the latest.

 

Cobbetts will have to serve you their disclosure list by the 11th as well - which is obviously highly unlikely. If they don't, give it to the end of next week, then send them this (the first letter) - SC&M court bundle non-compliance. Amend slightly to reflect the fact that its a list which they were ordered to submit, not documents.

 

If by some miricle they do submit a list, you should make an immediate request to inspect each and every document listed.

 

I would'nt start work on the witness statement just yet - its likely that Cobbetts will settle before then. If not, start work on it around the end of this month.

 

The pre-trial checklist carries a £275 (I think) fee, but again its highly unlikely that it'll get anywhere near that far.

Sorry, I made a mistake - you do need the actual documents. 99% of disclosure orders are by list, but if thats the exact wording of the order then it looks like you need the actual documents.

 

Follow the same as above, just submit copies of the documents + the N265, as opposed to just listing them.

And on that note, remember to tot up all your hours spent on the case at £9.25 per hour, and keep any receipts for paper, ink, other stationary, etc. Costs are allowed in the Fast Track, so you'll be able to claim it all back when they settle.

 

Have you remembered the disclosure statement?

I'm very interested to see what happens to you as I too have submitted my Court bundle to cobbetts and to the Court. That was at the end of March and Cobbetts have until end of April to submit theirs. Haven't heard anything as yet. Court date is in May. Just wondered whether it was worth phoning them to see what they were doing. Have you?

How stupid are Nat West. They must be paying cobblers out thousands of pounds for what ? Nat West are ripping people off for thousands of pounds. Urr it doesn't take much working out where alot of this money is going. Nat West have not defended ONE case in a court room, because they would have to dislose their true charges.

They would prefer to keep honest , loyal customers hanging on and on to the very end. What a pair of companies Nat West AND COBBLERS ARE. Both living on a seemingly endless gravy train.:mad: Apologies von,for my speech on your thread, but it makes me so angry how they are carrying on. I wish you and anjipl the best of luck.

Should i phone the County Court and ask them their advice and have they received something i have not?

I'm getting really peeeeeeedddddd off now i'm a woman on the edge!!!!!!!

Thoughts please people!!!!!

If you have complied with all that the court has asked you. Then you have nothing to worry about. Cobbetts have done this before. I wouldn't contact Cobblers.Try a letter to the court, http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/lloyds-bank/58011-sc-m-court-bundle.html#post485266. It might be worth phoning the court. You are so very close now.

As I posted above, send the first of these letters, to Cobbetts and with a copy to the court - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/lloyds-bank/58011-sc-m-court-bundle.html

 

The court will not really be that interested at this stage - its only today that clause 1 had to be complied with.

 

If they still haven't complied by the time you've filed your witness statement, then you should send the second letter to the court which requests a strike out. At this point Cobbetts will have then breached 2 clauses of the order - so the court will be much more inclined to issue a punitive order.

Call me mad or organised i'm not sure which but in with my disclosure bundle was a witness statement. I think i just cut to the chase. Hope that was ok and i take on board what you are saying. I feel a little hard done by i have to say in that if i don't comply with an order i would be penalised from the outset!

 

Thank you for your kind help!
