    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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.

Well we have done everything by the book really. We have followed the instructions step by step until now-am lost. Nat West stated that the POC was embarrassing and that they were sorry to hear that we were claiming- all the usual stuff u know? AS the court has been moved from northampton to cardiff to carmarthen -we have sent a few bundles and sent everything to Cobbetts to cover ourselves.

Weve had a Notice of Acknowledgment of service from Northampton court 23.11.06 ; We had a notice of transfer of proceeding on 15.12.06 to carmarthen court;

15.12.06 cobbetss send the defendants defence saying it is denied that the claimant is entitled to the relief claimed, and saying that the defendant will apply to the court for an order striking out the POC.The defendant embarrased by lack of POC!

3.1.07 we received an allocation questionnaire completed by nwest/cobbetts. Notice of transfer of procceding to cardiff court on 12.1.07. General Form of Judgment order recvd 23.1.07 - the court has made this order of its own initiative without hearing - case on march 26th 07 in cardiff. We sent all paperwork again-written representation.

31.3.07 - general form of judgment or order asking us to serve and file a schedule of bank charges(again!!!) for reimbursement to incl dates/charges/reason for reimbursement . States also there will be a stay until 4pm on 18th may and then the defendant shall serve an amended defence by 4pm on 1st june 2007! last point states that the claim be restored for directions hearing at cardiff court on 14th august before judge hickinbottom.

We started this claim on august 22nd last year.

Dont know what to do now- send everything again to cardiff court for the last time? am fed up now.many thanks for your reply earlier.x

Hi ok the way forward I think is for you to send a strong letter to Cobetts asking them to settle, I have drafted a letter have a look please. Include a schedule of bank charges as directed to the court, also I would like to see your POC and can you post the latest order as its written please.

 

 

 

(includ addresses,ref etc)

Dear

 

I am writing in response to the Court Order dated xxxx issued by Judge xxxx at xxxx court in respect of claim xxxx.

I again request that you settle this claim in full within 1 week of this letter. The amount required to bring this action to an end is £xxxx. This includes interest and applicable court fees. I will accept no conditions to this settlement.

 

I am sure that you will agree it is in the best interests of all concerned to settle this matter without incurring any further costs or wasting court time.

I have enclosed as directed a fully particularised schedule of all charges and interest, a copy of this letter and the schedule will be sent to the court.

If you decide that you wish to decline my offer of a settlement then I suggest that you let me have your amended defence directly as well as filing your copy with the court.

 

If you fail to settle this matter within one week I will request the removal of the stay and inform District Judge xxxxxx that you have made no attempt to resolve and settle this case.

 

This offer will remain valid for 7 days after which I will proceed with the application to have the stay removed.

 

 

Yours sincerely

Hi its me again.

Sorry but I missed the other part of your requirement.

When you requested the POC, unfortunatley, I had to do this in my own handwriting, as my PC was out of bounds and couldnt copy and paste for some reason or other, but I used the POC template on the monsysavingexpert.com site, adding our charges and our own amounts. Does this help at all?

Then we wnt online with the claim but as it amounted to over 5k they told us it had to be dealt with in the court itself.

 

Hope this is of some help to you??????im quite scared of this whole thing by now as i dont understand a lot of the terminology.

 

best regards.

That general form of judgement or order looks quite straight forward. They seem to be trying to help you. The court that is. Just do as they say and Cobblers have no chance of striking out the case. Don't be to fazed by the legal jargon. You can always ring the court and ask them any general information you don't understand. Good luck.

Yes I agree the order is in your favour, you need to comply with the order. Send the letter I drafted for you hopefully this will nudge cobblers. But you must comply with the orders should cobblers not respond positively.

Hi its me again!

Well unfortunatley I haven't received a cheque as yet.

I sent the letter which livelylad advised me to send - I got an immediate response but not the one I was hoping for! Unfortunatley I had mis-calculated the interest and had to send a revised schedule of charges. I did immediatley and received another letter from Cobbetts (Cobblers!!!) dated 23rd april saying that 'our client will be in a position to discuss further your offer to settle in your letter dated 16th April 2007.'

I haven't heard another word.Any suggestions please??

Am seriousley fed up with it all but want an end to this now. I feel that I made a terrible mistake when I mis-calculated the interest and don't know how the hell I managed that but thats it I did!!

i think i have jeopardised it all now.

Can anyone advise me please?

thankyou.

Tomorrow, first thing,, ring Cobbetts. Speak to the person who last sent you a letter about this. Be nice, but not grovelling, explain, it is in both your interests to settle this now, if they disagree, then we all know they wont turn up for court, so dont panic. But at least you can try calling them and see what they say. ?? then post back on here and one of us will be here to advise from there. But whatever you do, dont sound desperate............ just like you are trying to settle before court so the judge can see you have both tried to negotiate this prior to hearing. Keep your cool, and ring them, and be calm, but bold and brave. Youve nothing to lose, and dont worry, the judge wont throw something out just because Cobbetts say he should. They have no power or control over what the judge decides, and if theres anything missing with your claim and the court are thinking of striking it out, they would tell you first, so you have the opportunity to amend it. So dont worry........... really. xxxx

Phone and ask for the e-mail address of the person dealing with your claim, who are your letters addressed from? I normally e-mail them and they get back to me within 48 hours.

Well just received a message from Cobblers saying that they now require me to list down what the charges are for? I sent the table for bank charges from the website and completed it, and they have a copy of all bank statements so are they correct to ask for these details again? or are they biding time?

your advice would be much appreciated.thank you.:mad:

If you listed:

 

What each charge was for, Amount, Date of Charge, etc.

 

then theyre just being obnoxious like they usually are. You dont have to do anything the Cobblers ask for. Only whatever the courts ask for............ You could be sarcastic back and just send another copy of your spreadsheet back to them stating, by recorded delivery obviously with a covering letter stating..........this is my list of charges, can you tell me exactly whats wrong with it ? That will shut them up. Fendy xxx

Hi! thanks for your advice. I have done just that - sent a cover letter saying that they already hold a copy of the detailed spreadsheet but have enclsed another copy, and I have sent a copy of my letter to Cobblers regarding this ridiculous request to the Judge stating how I am trying to resolve this matter as soon as I can blah, blah ,blah......so fingers and everything else is crossed with me now!!!!!

thank you so much for your valuable advice.
