    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above
    • In anticipation of lodging my court claim next Weds 1 May (14 days after advising P2G that was my deadline for them to settle my claim) I have completed my first draft POC as below: Claim Claim number: xxxxx Reference: P2G MAY 2024   Claimant xxxxx   Defendant Parcel2Go 1A Parklands Lostock Bolton BL6 4SD  Particulars of Claim The defendant has failed to arrange for the safe delivery of the claimant's parcel containing a 8 secondhand golf clubs (valued at £265) that was sent to a UK address using their delivery service (P2G Reference xxxxx). The defendant contracted Evri to deliver the parcel (Evri Reference xxxxx) and refuses to reimburse the claimant on the grounds that the claimant did not purchase their secondary insurance contract. The defendant seeks to exclude their liability in breach of section 57 Consumer Rights Act. The secondary insurance contract is in breach of section 72. The claimant seeks reimbursement of £265, plus P2G fees of £9.10, plus postage costs for two first class letters to P2G of £2.70, plus court fees, plus interest. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from xxxxx to xxxxxx on £276.80 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £xxxx   Details of claim Amount claimed £276.80 I look forward to your thoughts and comments guys! As ever, many thanks - G59    
    • Hmm, that's strange how they got my email then.  I assume the below is ok to send to DCBL, Nicky?  Hello, I am writing regarding our ongoing dispute and the upcoming court claim reference xxxxxxxx. To ensure fairness and transparency in our communications leading up to the court hearing, I request that you use postal mail exclusively for all further correspondence related to this claim. Please refrain from sending any communication or documents via email. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions or need clarification, please feel free to contact me via postal mail at the address provided above. Yours sincerely, xxxx
    • In the SAR, I received the original application, lots of computer print outs, yearly statements from 2013 and the new emails regarding my complaint. They sent me a £50 cheque after I chased them for the SAR after the 30 days. They said they was waiting for me to respond to an email (which I never received) before sending the SAR

    • 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 recently received my judgment from the court and was just about to sort out enforcment.

 

However, this morning I got a letter from a solicitors representing HSBC with a copy of a letter they have sent to the county court asking for a stay of execution...

 

I thought that if it was with the small claims court you werent supposed to use a solicitor...

 

They are disputing my claim of 6 years of charges, stating that I estimated it (which I did, 1 years of charges x 6) and that they could prove what my charges were. The bank failed to send me proof when I asked for this at the beginning..

 

They are also disputing the unfair term and conditions ACT. They say their defence didnt arrive on time due to a faxing error!!

 

What do I do now?

I sent 2 letters at the start of this process by recorded delivery explaining exactly what I was doing, the second being the letter you can download from the BBC website..

 

I then proceeded with the small claims court - I have done everything in the right order as described on various websites such as BBC website, penaltycharges.co.uk and this one..

 

The relief of getting my judgment has now turned to despair again..

I need additional information to be able to respond appropriately.

 

So let me get this straight, the charges you are claiming for are an estimate and not the actual charges incurred?

If this is the case on what basis did you manage to come to an amount to claim?

I have never known HSBC not to comply with the DPA/SAR and send the relevant information regarding outstanding charges, did you send the DPA/SAR letter and then follow it up with the non - compliance when nothing had been received within the 40 day period?

As stated on various websites if your bank do not send you copy statements you can estimate your bank charges over a 6 year period. I had 1 years worth so multiplied it by 6 to get the total - if anything, this was an underestimation..

 

I send 1 letter saying I needed proof of my charges over the 6 years and explaining I needed a breakdown of the £25 charge so I knew what it was made up of, I gave them 14 days.

 

I then sent another letter asking the same and saying if I did not recieve a response in 14 days I would pursue it through the courts.

 

I applied for my small claim - the bank then on the lats day asked for an extension of 1 month, after the month expired they had not responded so I asked for a decision which was made in my favour.. I was then about to enforce my decision..then letter from my banks solicitors

 

The Bank did make me an offer of less than half saying this was the total charges....

 

I did not respond as it was at the courts deadline..

 

In fact the amount the Banks said it was is in fact different to what their solicitors is saying..so they are not even being consistent in this respect. I have kept copies of all letters sent and recieved...

What 2 letters did you send. The process would have been -

 

1. DPA/SAR letter

2. Non compliance of the above

3. Initial letter (should the above information have been received) requesting repayment of charges accompanied by a schedule of charges (spreadsheet of all charges claiming for).

4. LBA - letter before action if no response made or letter of non acceptance of partial settlement

5. Count Court - Small Claim submitted

 

Which of these were the two letters you sent before making a claim?

I have done everything in the right order as described on various websites such as BBC website, penaltycharges.co.uk and this one..
Except by not bothering to find out exactly what your charges are, it's come back to bite you. You are bringing the calim and it is up to you to prove each and every charge, which you clearly can't do. The bank merely has to say what charges and when?

 

You need to send a DPA request:

1. Data Protection Act, Subject Access Request letter - List of charges

Apologies - but I'm going to have to ask someone with more knowledge than I to advise you on this. I personally was not aware that bank charges to be claimed could be estimated! Why would anyone then apply to have copies of bank charges incurred as they could just estimate and submit a claim for any amount. I am not saying this is not the case but seems a little dodgy to me:confused:

As stated on various websites if your bank do not send you copy statements you can estimate your bank charges over a 6 year period.

Just out of interest, on which sites does it say you should do that?

 

Unfortunately, thats very bad advice.:(

The BBC (the last paragraph is laughable):

 

 

You have only some statements from the past six years

 

You can submit an estimated claim if you genuinely believe you have been charged during a period for which you have no statements. Calculate all the charges from the statements you have and if you believe the missing statements would also record similar charges, then estimate the missing amount by doing the following equation:

  • If one year's statements show £70 of charges then you can estimate the total amount of charges for 6 years will be: £70 x 6 = £420.00
  • If you have 5 months of statements and these show that you have accumulated £150 of charges in that time, then you can calculate that you have been charged on average £30 a month. (£150 divided by 5 = £30). There are 72 months in six years so 72 x £30 = £2,160.00 (if your account hasn't been open for the past six years then only multiply the average amount by the number of months the account has been open).
  • Fill in the necessary details in the template for the "estimated charges letter" in the box below and post it Recorded Delivery to your bank/lender's branch address.
  • Your bank/lender will almost certainly work out how many charges you have actually incurred in the past six years. It may contact you within 14 days to either make you an offer, in part or in full, or to state that it has refused to refund your money. o.gifDOWNLOAD THE LETTER

Thats unbelievable! Certainly not what you'd expect from the BBC. I think they should be told - its causing us, not to mention the claimants, no end of problems.

I am more than happy to just claim what charges I have on my account but HSBC would not send me the info after several requests..

 

I ,therefore, quite rightly, can estimate based on what they have already charged me.. If they dispute this then they should provide proof which they will be able to when we go to Court..

The onus is on you to prove what you are claiming for. The bank is under no obligation to provide any data, unless forced to do so under the DPA, which you haven't done.

He's right I'm afraid Dazzler - you've brought an action against them for an amount of money you alledge they owe you - it would be incumbent upon you in court to prove the sums had been taken

 

As an example of this, look at the directions which many courts now order -

The Claimant shall within 14 days of service of this order send to the Defendant and to the Court:

  • a) A schedule setting out each charge repayment of which is sought, showing the date, amount, and reason given (if any) for that charge being made;

  • b) Copies of any statement or other document relied upon as showing that each and every charge has been made;

  • c) A statement of evidence of all matters relied upon as tending to show that the charges are irrecoverable as penalties or otherwise;

  • d) Copies of decided cases and other legal materials to be relied upon.

If the Claimant fails to comply with this order, the claim will be struck out without further order.

statements only go back 1 year online...

 

Thats what happens when you follow the advice of the BBC. I was unaware of this website when i started this case.

 

I understand a Barrister is taking Natwest to court for bank charges even though they have offered way over what he was charged as he intends to sue for damages...anyone know what his chances are?

 

Its a bit too far down the line to back out now and I will fight it to the death!!

 

I will send off a SAR asap

I can't understand why your statements only go back 1 year, are you looking in the right place?

 

after you have logged on to your current account, on the left hand side there is a menu, underneath "my accounts" there is an option to click on "my statements" which brings up a box showing last years worth of statements, on the right of this there is a box "next set" which brings up the year before that, if you click it again it carries on bringing up the previous years..it might be worth you having another look just to see.

If not, I believe the correct DPA address is;

 

Ian Shepherd

Coventry DSC

Harry Weston Road

Binley

West Midlands
