    • Isas already allow you to earn tax-free interest on up to £20,000 each tax year. But under recent reforms, they are now supposed to be more flexible.View the full article
    • 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 All,

 

Has anyone had to attend a "Pre trail reveiw"? My claim has recently been transfered to my local court from MCOL - on the transfer papers, it stated I would have to file a AQ unless the jude at the court I was transfering to (Cambridge) ordered differently.

 

I have received no AQ, just a date for a Pre Trail review "When you should attend".... This is in three months time though.

 

Any advice/comment's or links to other threads (that I have tried to find) would be a great help...

 

Also will SC&M be asked to attend, if they dont show does anyone know what may happen next...

 

 

Thanks in advance for any advice offered...

Hi,

 

I'm not sure I've heard of that but check out GaryH's thread GOT A COURT DATE? A guide to the later stages. You may find some relevant information there. If not then contact the court and find out - don't leave it to the last minute though in case you need to prepare something.

 

Good luck. Lucid :)

Hi Reigs1979

 

I have had exactly the same - and also from Cambridge County Court.

 

I've posted it on my thread, but I'm wondering if it's an attempt by the Court to cut down on what would otherwise be pretty standard timewasting stuff by the banks - especially LTSB?

Hi

 

You should not be too concerned about this.

 

It is likely that this review will not take place as SC&M will not want to attend and will advise their clients to pay you before this date. The purpose of this review is to decide a timetable for the trial, who will give evidence and in what order, the content of the 'trial bundle' (papers required for trial) and the date it has to be delivered to the court and the time to be allowed for the trial.

 

In all likelihood, the judge is trying to make work for SC&M in an attempt to force them to advise their client to settle. Part of the bundle that both sides need to prepare will be all the documents you intend to rely on.

 

As the claimant it is up to you to plead your case but at the same time, the other side may not simply deny it - they have to prove why the deny it. In doing so, they would be forced to reveal the true costs to their client of the contract breaches or "services" and why they charge what they do for returned DD's, cheques etc.

 

A pre-trial review is similar to a preliminary hearing, so you could write to SC&M in advance of this hearing and suggest the draft directions. Look here at post #10 by GaryH, our resident Lloyds/SC&M specialist.

I had occasion to call Cambridge court recently - they are a trial court and must keep their list as free and as fast moving as possible. Therefore they are listing upwards of 30 cases at a time on the basis that in over three quarters of cases, neither party even attend as they have been settled.

Hi Fellow CAGER'S

I wont hurt to remind them that thay are wasting the Courts time time as well as theirs by delaying the inevitable !!!!

Ok thanks. I think the case they won in Birmingham may have given them some "dutch courage" whereas in reality it did us a favour by focusing on the areas they may wish to attack. In my case I have letters from the local branch stating that any attempt to exceed an agreed overdraft facility would be a breach of the terms of the agreement to provide the facility, in other words "breach of contract" - something the Birmingham Judge said hadn't happened?

  • 4 weeks later...

Two weeks tomorrow and due in court, still heard nothing from LTSB or SC&M, with the exception of one leter from Lloyds months ago and then a follow up, after the FOS contacted them, following my complaint (saying SC&M are dealing with case!!)

 

John72 - hope all is well with you...

Hi Adam

 

Same here, not a word from them despite regular letters from me inviting them to talk, which I have copied to the Court. This has been going on for so long now that I'm setting some time aside to refresh my brain and prepare for the 13th on the basis that it may actually come to a trial of the issues on that date - even though it's listed as a pre-trial review.
