    • You probably do need to ignore it, but show it to us just in case. Cover up your name, address and anything that could ID you like your car reg. HB
    • Hi all! I've now had a "final notification letter" through from ECP. I assume I should continue to ignore this, but is there likely any action I need to take? Do you need to see a copy of the letter? Thanks
    • Please will you upload the defence in a PDF format document
    • Afternoon All - after 3 weeks of silence, this morning I received an email from HMCTS advising that P2G have rejected my claim. Decide whether to proceed Parcel2Go.com has rejected your claim. You need to decide whether to proceed with the claim. You need to respond before 4pm on 25 June 2024. Your claim won’t continue if you don’t respond by then. This is their ‘defence’ Their defence Why they disagree with the claim When choosing a service on the Defendants website, the Claimant chose to book their order with Evri and selected to take out £20 parcel protection which comes with the service. On the first page of the booking process, the Claimant entered the value of £265 for the contents and was offered parcel protection for loss or damages against their goods for £13.99 + VAT. The Claimant selected no, which then produced a pop up which explained 'We strongly recommend that you protect the full value of your item(s).' however, the Claimant still did not take this protection out and instead continued with the booking process. At the end of the booking process, the Claimant was offered this again which was refused and the Claimant continued with the booking by accepting the terms and conditions which re-iterates the information provided in the booking process. The parcel was sent, however, seems to be delayed in transit. The parcel finally started to track again, however, when delivered the parcel was empty with no contents. As such, the claim was re-opened and attempted to be settled for the £20 protection taken out in the booking process. This was refused by the Claimant as they felt they should be paid the full amount of the value entered when booking. Unfortunately, due to the refusal of the parcel protection in the booking process the Defendant is not liable to settle the claim to the value and only to the parcel protection taken out. The Defendant shall rely on the Terms and Conditions of carriage in particular section 9. The Defendant understands that the contents have not be handled with due care and attention, which is not being disputed, however, they are disputing the amount they are liable to. They have requested mediation, I’m sure not least to drag the case out even longer, but I can see no benefit to me in this and so shall reject it. As ever, I’d welcome your thoughts guys. g59   
    • I doubt HMCTS holds any data on whether arrests by AEAs required police assistance.  They couldn't or wouldn't provide data on how many of warrants issued were successfully executed - just the number issued!  In my experience, arrest warrants whether with or without bail are [surprisingly] carried out with little or no fuss.  I think it's about how you treat people - a little respect and courtesy goes a long way. If you treat people badly they will react the same way. Occasions when police are called to assist are not common and, having undertaken or managed many thousands of these over the years, I can only recall a handful of occasions when police assistance was necessary. On one occasion, many years ago, I arrested and transported a man from Hampshire to Bristol prison on a committal warrant. It was just me and he was no problem. I didn't know the Bristol area (pre Sat Nav) and he was kind enough to provide directions - seems he knew the prison.  One young chap on another committal warrant jumped out of his back window and I had to chase him across several garden fences.  When he gave up (we were both knackered) I agreed to drive by his girlfriend's house to say farewell for a while.  I gave them a few moments and he was fine. The most difficult are breach warrants but mainly in locating the defendant as they don't want to go back to prison - can't blame them.  These were always dealt with by the police until the Access to Justice Act transferred responsibility from them to the magistrates' courts. The fact was the police did not actively pursue them and generally only executed them when they arrested someone for something else and found they had a breach warrant outstanding.  Hence the transfer of responsibility.

    • 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.

Make sure you are charging them interest on the charges.

Best of luck.......Rory

I've not charged any interest. I read a few of the threads and couldn't understand how it worked (and the link to the spreadsheets aren't working).

 

I understood that other than that, the standard 8% should only be added if I get to the stage of going to court? I'm not clear on that either to be honest, but it's some time away yet anyway!

What are you saying PPMAN159.....an interest free loan to your bank. I don't think so!!!

rpgsx3r the bank have used your money to invest and make money for themselves, you are entitled to interest. The minimum rate you can charge them is 8% (this is the rate the court would award you if you had to take the bank to court), however you can ask them for the contractual rate (usually around 29%) but if you are not comfortable with this as its a bit more difficult to argue just charge them 8%.

But for goodness sake charge them some interest.

I've only sent the Preliminary letter without interest included at this stage. Are you suggesting I should charge 8% interest on every charge from the date it was made to present at this stage? The posts I have read on this matter on the forums have argued the contrary.

The 8% is under Section 69 of the County Courts Act and is only applied when proceedings are issued.

Then you should read some more........most people charge interest that's what the spreadsheets in the templates library are for. You can charge 8% interest on every charge from the date it was made to present, or you can charge at a higher rate if you feel you can justify it (any claim over 8% you would have to justify to the court if it went this far). I would just send the bank another letter (if you want to charge them interest) stating you are now aware of you rights and the owing is now £xxxx plus interest at x% giving a total of £xxxx. The timescale give in your original preliminary letter still stands.

Alternatively use the template in the templates library http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/671-2-letter-preliminary-approach.html

You will notice the inclusion of overdraft interest.

That's interest charged on overdrafts Rory, has nothing to do with S69 of the CCA.

 

I agree you SHOULD be able to claim interest on the amounts taken from your account and I would be interested to see what would happen if you tried.

 

As for the suggestion that I should read some more - take a look at this when you have a spare couple of hours http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/natwest-successes/17630-thecobbettslayer-natwest.html

Hi Cobbett Slayer the reference to "Then you should read some more" wasn't directed at you it was directed at rpgsx3r. No offense was intended - please don't take any.

Then I apologise Rory - it's so easy to take things out of context.

 

It's still a good read though:D

No need to apologise. I'll have a look at your link when I've got a minute (or maybe an hour or two from what you've said). Always interested in winning claims.

Ok, I read that thread (well, most of it!) very interesting stuff - and gratz on the outcome!

 

So can we get a consensus on the 8% now? ;) I was under the impression that I should claim only for the charges, but then add 8% if it gets to the MCOL stage. Right? I have several other claims at just the SAR stage, so it would make significant difference.

You can only claim interest at the court stage. Your initial claim is for the charges only.

Quick Update:

 

NatWest Current Account

19/4/07 - Checked statements. Owed £1237 in charges.

19/4/07 - Phoned NatWest and asked for money back - no joy.

19/4/07 - Sent Prelim letter based on template.

Received a letter today saying "We are currently investigating your claim and will respond to you as soon as possible."

 

I guess I'll just continue with the LBA after the 14 days since sending the Preliminary letter are up.

Yes continue with the LBA. A banks idea of responding to you as soon as possible when recliaming your charges is...........well how long is a piece of string.

Had a response regarding my partner's account:

 

NatWest Current Account (partner)

23/4/07 - Sent Data Protection Act letter.

02/5/07 - Received partial statements

03/5/07 - Received 'as soon as possible' letter

 

 

Yesterday we received an envelope with statements dating back only as far as June 2006. I thought this was odd, but then realised this was around the point that we were married, so her account before this date would be in her maiden name. However, I've re-read the CAG S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) template and surely they should still send everything?

 

Today we received another letter saying, amongst other things, "Any information required to be provided to you under Section 7 of the Data Protection Act will be forwarded to you as soon as possible." Followed by a lengthy paragraph about Manual Intervention.

 

Does anyone think it necessary for me to contact them again explaining the issue with the maiden/married name? Or should I just wait until the 40 days are up? It seems crazy to me that this would affect the S.A.R - (Subject Access Request), as the account quite obviously still belongs to the same person.

Hi rpg, might be worth a phonecall from your wife to explain she's received some statements but that the clock's still ticking on the SAR deadline and they only have xxx days to comply. They may get their skates on if jogged! Good luck, hedgey xx :p

-----

 

Ok, I've had no response to the LBA, so I'm ready to claim in court. I've completed the simple bank charges template spreadsheet now that they're back online (yay!) and the 8% column adds around another £200 to make a total of around £1450.

 

I've mostly completed the N1 form based on the template information as provided here, but have a couple of questions.

 

1) I have the charges, s69 8% total and court fees and the total of this, but I’m unsure about the template part that says:

 

Plus interest pursuant to S.69 County Courts Act 1984 from date of issue to date of judgement/settlement at £xx.xx per day [(enter daily rate here - (CHARGES+OD interest)x 0.00022 = pence per day)] OR at such rate and for such periods as the court deems just.

 

Is that just the charges+s698% total multiplied by 0.00022? (It’s about 30p a day). Is that correct?

 

2) In the particulars I’ve changed point 1 to show two accounts as I’m claiming for a personal and joint account. Any problems with this?

 

 

3) I’ve put the claimant’s and defendant’s addresses in, but there is another box at the bottom of the 1st page asking for the defendant’s name and address again. Is this for the defendant to complete, or do I have to fill it in again?

 

Advice appreciated!
