    • Care to briefly tell someone who isn't tech savvy - i.e. me! - how you did this? Every day is a school day.
    • Hi Guys, well a year on and my friend has just received this in the post today, obviously a little scared so looking for more of your advice.  Letter from the NCC dated 1-May-2024 is as follows.......   Before deputy district judge Haythorne sitting at the national business centre, 4th floor st Kathrine's house Northampton Upon reading an application from the claimant  it is ordered that  1. The claim be sent to the county court at #### (Friends local Court) Because this order has been made without a hearing, the parties have the right to apply to have the order set aside, varied or stayed.  A party making such an application must send or deliver the application to the court (together with any appropriate fee) to arrive within seven days of service of this order.  If the application is one which requires a hearing, and a) the party making the application is the defendant: and b) the defendant is an individual, then upon filing of the application the claim will be transferred to the defendants home court.  In all other cases requiring a hearing the claim will be transferred to the preferred court.    As a result of an order made on the 1 May 2024, this claim has been transferred to the county court at ##### (friends local court) 
    • I am heading over to hers tomorrow so I will find out.  Will there be something written in the agreement or does it depend on the agreement its self ? Just so I know what to look for, so I can provide as much information as possible on here. 
    • The answer to this is going to depend on what the agreement your friend signed says. Or contact the housing provider and ask them.

    • 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.

Intrestingly, The Acknowledgment Of Service has been filed by their solicitor. Is this normal? Does anyone know where I can find out when the claim was served? I cant find it anywhere in the documentation. I want to work out when their 28 days is up!

Usually it is deemed to have been served 5 days after it has been issued.So as they have acknowledged on 3rd May I would start the clock ticking from that date.

Ive just realised that although I made the claim on MCOL (issued on 30th April) I have not sent a schedule of charges to the court (slight oversight on my part). Should I send them now at this late stage? Nationwide of course have numerous copies!

How confusing!

Calim issued: 30th April

Nationwide acknowledge: 3 May

Add 28 days: 31 May

So you would expect 31 May to be the deadline, NO.

Just spoke to MCOL, they say it was deemed served on the 5th May. Add 28 days you get 2 June. Now as that is a saturday they have until midnight 4th June!

I will shortly be setting up a new charity for all the poor people addicted to checking their balance online every few minutes. I am a sufferer myself and its getting worst.

This does seem unfair, especially as NW acknowleged the claim on 3rd May.

 

It seems that the courts are prepared to give the banks a few extra days to file their defence rather than sticking to the stated 28 days deadline.

 

What would happen to us if we did not file for judgement on the correct date-would they give us a couple more days?

 

I think not

Whiskas sent the following by email to evershed earlier today:

 

Dear Mr XXX

 

RE: Whiskas V NATIONWIDE CLAIM NO XXXXX

 

I would like to remind you that Nationwide have until midnight tonight to file a defence. I will be filing for judgement at midday tomorrow if I hear nothing.

 

whether or not it worked is still up for debate (It could just be that they were about to pay out anyway)

 

In any case Congratulations Whiskas.:)

 

I have less than a week left to go and now have a couple of questions that may spark a debate:

a) In a legal sense is there anything wrong with what Whiskas did?

b) Does anyone think that by doing something similar now I might push mine to an earlier conclusion?

Hi there, we are at exactly the same stage with dates, keep checking my account - still nothing - I know they have until midnight monday to file their defence but getting concerned now as it would appear that some have been paid out well before 28 days are up - keep thinking I have not done things to the letter and that will be their defence!!! Have you heard anymore yet?:)

Hi everyone,

 

If you read Sarahlou V Nationwide you will see they actually put in a defence against her claim and it was heading for the courtroom. I dont know weather this is going to be their new tact tick now just to draw it out even longer but they did pay out before it went to court so I think they are trying to scare people now by putting in a defence, so be prepared. They have upuntil the 13th June to defend my claim so just have to wait and see. Good luck!

Most of the time they leave it to the eleventh hour to pay up. I would expect them to file a defence monday afternoon and pay either later that day or later in the week.

Its great to hear sarahlou has been paid. I am positive that they are now employing further delay tatics by submiting a defence and then paying up.

I think the court will take a very dim view of this as it is wasting a lot of their time. One judge has already publicly criticised this tatic and a nwide case is due before him this july.

One way to fight back is to apply for wasted costs orders.

Nothing yet so I just fired this email off.......

 

Dear xxxxxxxx

 

Further to my last email sent on the 30th May 2007 I would like to remind you that Nationwide have until midnight tonight to file a defence. I will be filing for judgement at midday tomorrow if I hear nothing.

If your interested this is what I sent on 30th May - no response.

 

Dear xxxxxxx

 

I would like to remind you that the deadline for Nationwide to enter a defence is fast approaching. I will be filing for judgment when the deadline passes, if I hear nothing.

 

So heres to waiting.....

Defending a claim and them settling at the last minute seems to be well used tactic by Nationwide.

 

As McWillis said it is done to scare people into possibly withdrawing the claim but dont be panicked.

 

As long as your claim has been properly prepared then the only thing that you will have to worry about is how to spend the money when it arrives.

Hi

Just spoken to MCOL, no defence yet - the lady said I am well within my rights to seek judgment after midnight but suggested (not allowed to give advice) that I call them tomorrow to see if a defence has been submitted.

 

Apparently, if I file for judgment and they have already filed a defence it will not allow me to continue.

 

If it says 'Judgment Filed' and they file a defence on the same day as mine is actioned, theirs would be given priority!!!!

 

Furthermore, it could delay things for various reasons, mainly to do with administration.

 

So unless I hear anything sooner, looks like I've got to sit it out until mid morning tomorrow to find out whats actually happening!!

A wonderful site.

 

It is very difficult some days to fit in the expected workload with the vieiwing and posting on CAG-so much so that some days I do not bother!!!

 

Even though my two claims have been settled I cannot draw myself away from here-maybe I have some form of compulsive disorder that needs medical assiatance!!!
