    • Thank you both, I will make those changes. I have also downloaded the compensation list to add to the evidence and complete the protection bit off their website.  I am going to court next Thursday to deliver the bundle; I will confirm this on Tuesday. I have been to court a few times to represent the military when a soldier is in court, but I will be going. Thank you for all the additional advice. Once I have the whole bundle, I will email it to the admin email. Ill be honest, this is not about the money for me, I do not mind losing that, so I will not be signing a confidentiality agreement.   You guys are amazing
    • Actually there wasn't a massive amount of work to do on the WS.  The "meat" was there because of the great work you'd already done. Here is a version which I think is nigh-on finished. However, with Easter there are a few days for the other regulars to suggest tweaks. Defendant WS.pdf
    • Hi all, We bought a part to fix our washing machine approx 13 months ago direct from the manufacturer of the washing machine via phone. This part then failed 13 months later, as confirmed by their own engineer, who was sent by the manufacturer (who is also the retailer for the part) FoC. The engineer actually installed a replacement part, the machine came back to life, but they then removed the part used for testing (and ours reinstalled) as "we would be charged for it". The retailer are refusing to replace the part, stating that they only warranty parts for 90 days. When I stated that I believed the Consumer Rights Act gives me longer than that, they insinuated that it did not, and this was repeated by many representatives. AIUI for goods bought more than 6 months ago, I need to get an engineers report to confirm the part has failed? Or that it has failed due to manufacturing issues? Or would the companies own engineers report suffice? Also, does anyone have any other decent contact details for Hotpoint (or the Whirlpool group)? Thanks, GH
    • Thank you for that "read me", It's a lot to digest, lots of legal procedure. There was one thing that I was going to mention to you,  but in one of the conversations in that thread it was mentioned that there may be spies on the Forum,  this is something that I've read quite some time ago in a previous thread. What I had in mind was to wait for the thirty days after their reply to my CCA request and then send the unenforceable letter. I was hoping that an absence of signature could be the Silver Bullet but it seems that there are lot of layers to peel on this Onion.

    • 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.

I have got an allocation hearing this afternoon and I have got the small bundle together. I am bothered by the "Allocation hearing witness statement" as it is for claims below £5000.00 and mine is above this. Is there a witness statement for claims above £5000. I know that I have raised this question before and was told that it did not matter. Can someone explain why it does not matter, when it would seem to me to be lying on the statement??????????????????????????????????????

Hi, i dont know why it doesnt matter, have you been allocated the small claims? If that was the advice given, then follow it as it will be ok, anyway, chances are that they will settle anyway ;)

I am so sorry about this.

 

 

In no.7, it says "The claim is well below the 5K threashold. The claimant filed the claim believing it would be dealt with in the small claims court and did not anticipate the risk of bearing the costs in the fast or multi-track. To allocate the claim outside the small claims would be grossly unfair."

My claim is for £9000. So when filing my claim I must have known that it would be fast or multi-track.

 

Also I am not able to print out the list of settled cases.

 

Thanks

just take it out and state that you are aware that it is over the 5k limit but would ask that it is allocated to the fast track (yes, you want this is comes with automatic disclosure - they settle quicker) or you can ask that is it put into small claims, just adjust it to suit

Thanks for that. Can you help me reword the paragraph below because now I am asking for fast track

 

5." Under the overriding objectives of the Civil Procedure Rules there is an obligation of the judge to ensure the parties are placed on an equal footing. As the Defendant is a huge financial institution it would be unfair to place this in the fast or multi-track as this would give the defendant the advantage in being able to bear the risk of costs whereas the Claimant does not. The Defendant has ready access to legal advice and representation whereas the Claimant is a litigant in person."

I THINK I HAVE WON

My allocation hearing was today at 3.30pm. Due to a lot of other drama, I got there at 3.40pm. Anyway, while I sat waiting to be called, I asked the lady at reception if a anybody from Abbey had turned up. She said no, but she did put a fax onto my file.

 

Got called in and it was just me and the judge in the room. He said " This is the situation, Judge XXXXXX had allowed you to file your amended claim and he also set a date for an allocation hearing for today. Judge XXXXXX also stated that if either party did not turn up that judgement should be made against them." He then said "The court received a fax from Abbey on Friday at 10pm stating that for the past week they have been in ongoing negoiations with the claimant by email and letter and felt the they were close to an agreement so felt no need to attend court today."

They are a bunch of bloody liars. On Tuesday, I emailed Inga to tell her that I would not accept less than 9000.00. On Wednesday she email me back to say that offering a reduction of only 139.00 was not commercially attractive to them. On Wednesday night I replied and told her that when they were taking gross amounts of unfair charges out of my account, they did not consider that it would not be commercially attractive to me, so why bring up the commercially attractive arguement now. Inga did not answer me back. And that was Wednesday, they faxed the court on Friday night.

The judge then asked me had I come to an agreement with Abbey. I told him no. He said he thought it was absurd that Abbey did not turn up and thought they could send a fax even though no agreement was made. He then asked if I had any objections to him entering judgement against Abbey, I said no sir. We then went through the figures. Funnily enough he thought that the £1.92 daily rate I was charging was a bit high ( i told him it was 8% of the total) but he still went along with it. So I got my charges, interest, court costs and 78 days daily charge totalling the tidy sum of £9158.41. He said Abbey will have 14 days to pay.

 

I would like to say a very, very, very big thank you to all who have posted on my forum helping and encouraging me, and to all those who been there and done it, their forums were very inspiring.

Thanks for all your help this morning. I was sh---ing myself over nothing. When the judge asked if I had come to an agreement with Abbey and I told him no. I was going to show him the emails that I had sent. He said he did not want to see them because no agreement was made. In fact he looked at nothing I brought.
