    • I'm not sure we were on standard tariffs - I've uploaded as many proofs as I can for the ombudsman - ovo called last night uping the compensation to 100 from 50 pounds for the slip in customer service however they won't acknowledge the the problem them not acknowledging a fault has caused nor are they willing to remedy anything as they won't accept the meter or formula was wrong.   I'd appreciate more details on the economy 7 approach and I'll update the ombudsman with any information you can share. 
    • To re-iterate and highlight my urgent question on this one: The N24 from the court did not include any instructions to submit paperwork 28 days before the date, unlike the N157 received for other smaller claims. Do I have to submit a WS for this court date? Link has!...
    • No, reading the guidance online it says to wait for a letter from the court. Should I wait or submit the directions? BTW, I assume that the directions are a longer version of the particular of claim accompanied by evidence, correct?
    • Thanks for opening, it's been another rough year for my family and I've procastinated a little.. Due to the age of my defaults on this and other accounts (circa 2021), I really need to avoid a CCJ as that will be another 6 years of credit issues. Mediation failed as I played the 'not enough info to make a decision' however during the call for some reason they did offer settlement at 80%, I refused. this has been allocated to small claims track, court date is June 3 and I've received their WS. I'm starting on my WS. They do appear to have provided everything required of them (even if docs could be reconstructions). Not really sure what my argument is anymore but I do want to attend court and see this through. Should a judgement be made against me then I will clear the balance within 30 days and have the CCJ removed - this is still possible isn't it? I'm going to be reading up today and tomorrow and hope you can provide me some guidance in the meantime. Wonder what your advice would be given the documents they have provided? I am now in a position to clear the debt either by lump sum or a few large installments - Is this something i should look into at this late stage? Thanks as always in advance
    • I have now received my SAR. It includes a great deal of information! Is there a time limit on how long account information is kept and/or can be provided to debtors? I have received many account statements which were not previously sent to me. I remember that the creditor should provide explanations of any acronyms and abbreviations that maybe used in the documents. Is this still the case? Also what, if any, are the regulations in regard to adding fees to a debt? Can fees be added to a debt after the court has approved a charge on a property. Perhaps due to the numerous owners of the debt, many payments I made were not properly recorded on the account, some were entered over a year after the payment was made! Following the Legal Charge, I paid every month until my payments were refused. I am trying to compute the over payments, but the addition of fees etc. is confusing me. Any comments and/or help would be appreciated.

    • 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

i need some advice i sent my prem letter on 03/03/07 and let the 14 days go and then sent the lba on 18/03/07 to which we reiceved a complaint leaflet (which is nice)no mention about the charges what so ever since then we have had threating letters asking for the checkbooks and cards which we handed in(no love lost) i spoke to a person called becky this morning as reguards to getting my money back (thought i ask outright just incase they said yes sorry have a full refund for a laugh)becky told me that they decline of giving monies back so i informed her i am taking them to court i have filled in and printed 3 copys of the n1 forms and including the s69 interst and going to courts on monday to hand in.

the advice i need is when i win i do not want the monies to pe paid into their a/c i want a cheque so i can put it in the parachute a/c how do i go about this and also since i started this action abbey have continued to put charges on this a/c even tho i have told them it is in dispute so how do i go about getting these extra charges back, in 3 months they have taken me well over my overdraft by 600quid do i start new action for these charges or is there a way i can add them to the existing claim, what im actually hoping for is that when i win the intial claim they will know i am seriuos and they wipe off the extra 600quid, anyway i will keep posting and good luck to you all this is a superb site and dont let them get away with it becuse its your money not theirs!!

If you have submitted your N1 claim form already, it is better to finish with this claim before commencing another case for the current charges.

 

You are not limited by the number of claims you can make. You can begin a second claim after your current one is completed with the same bank.

Its a waiting game now. wait for the court to advise you what happens next. Usual course of action is an allocation questionairre (AQ) although this is sometimes being dispensed with. If you have to submit an AQ check the recent update in the stickies around applying to strike out their defence as an abuse of powers.

Don't phone, keep everything in writing. Send this:

ACCOUNT NUMBER: XXXXXXX

 

Dear Sirs

 

Re: Account in dispute

 

I am writing to clarify that I am currently in the process of requesting a refund of bank charges unlawfully made to my account.

 

This is now the subject of a claim (No. XXXX) in the County Court.

 

I note from your latest correspondence that you are proposing to issue me with a Default Notice on this account - I need to make you fully aware that I am disputing the sum owed and, as such, you must refrain from any further action until this dispute is fully resolved.

 

If you do not stop this default action and proceed by making any adverse comments on my credit reference files, I shall be forced to take legal action against you under the Data Protection Act 1998.

 

Yours sincerely,

thanks guys for your help much appreciated

i have another couple of questions just finishing off my court bundle and i see that i must send copys of bank statements as well as list of charges the thing is i have loads of statements and microfiche must be a 100 pages at least have i goto photo copy the whole lot 3 times or can i just do a few copys so the judge can see that the charges are going out on the dates and cross reference them with my list of charges.

the other question is i read somewhere that i can claim for my time preparing the bundle @ 9.25 per hour is this correct and what is the max allowance,as you are aware i have a preliminary hearing on 29th june (friday)and i am trying to get it sorted as much as possible as we go on holiday on 18th june and come back on 25th june and i dont really want to take paperwork to turkey wife would not be happy :rolleyes:

hi all

i have been very busy with my court bundle, it is nearly completed and that i have a preliminary hearing on the 29th june at ashford county court so i have been flat out with the court bundle what i didnt realise is that i didnt need the court bundle for this sort of hearing mind you for the last three days at this site i have learned an awful lot so it has not been all in vain i did however send the statement of evidence and a number of other documents along with the new draft order and witness statement to the court and to shabbey today following the aq which was sent on 30th may so they should get within 14 days as sent recorded and 14th day is wedensday so hopefully might get some news before we goto court which would be nice.

however i must say the amount of infomation i have for the court bundle is very impressive i bought 3 new folders from staples today and it must be in each folder at least 350 pages i printed the full report of the commision in northern ireland (200 pages) and the macarma interview plus all the cases won and loads of other documents i hope abbey have got plenty of time to go through that lot :p and i hope the judge likes a bit of bedtime reading there is some really good info in there my favourite has got to be the bbc report outstandin anyway these bundles will be on there way to the court by hand and posted (recorded) on friday 16th june and see what happens let battle commence

only take that course of action if your POC included the request to remove he default otherwise you may need a seperate action to get that removed.
