    • It is already trespass, nothing further needed to make out trespass. Not sure where ‘interference with goods’ helps you / how you’d bring a claim for that that stops them parking there.
    • Thanks Dx,    For some further information, the holiday was booked as a package holiday for 2. One of the 2 had to be changed, and changing costs £700 for a new flight as "tickets had been issued and they cant do a name change". I cant quite figure out how compensation works for things when it comes to package holidays.    From what I can tell  - The plane was due to land in Turks and Caicos to drop off passengers, something happened during descent, resulting in technical fault.  - The rest of the original flight from Turks & Caicos -> Montego Bay was cancelled  - A New flight was put on today, which was then delayed by 1.5hrs aswell  - Hotel was provided for the night after much hassle.  - 1.5 days, 2 evenings of holiday lost  If I understand correctly, since the original flight (LHR -> Turks -> Montego Bay) was cancelled, they are both entitled to a refund on that full flight? I can't quite work out if they are only entitled to a refund for the equivalent of Turks -> Montego Bay, or for the full LHR->Turks->Montego Bay, since it was issued as one ticket/all Virgin, and they should have arrived yesterday..?)  I can't work out how to get the cost of that compensation, or whether its a set figure, and how the loss of days of holiday is factored in   I am aware:  If you received less than 14 days’ notice of the cancellation, you are generally due compensation, awarded in pounds or euros depending on where your flight was due to depart from, according to the following scale: £220 / €250 for all flights of 1,500km or less (e.g. Glasgow to Amsterdam); £350 / €400 for all flights between 1,500km and 3,500km (e.g. East Midlands to Marrakech); £520 / €600 for all other flights (e.g. London to New York). Compensation will be reduced by 50% if the arrival time of the replacement flight doesn’t exceed the arrival time of the original flight by: two hours for flights of 1,500km or less; three hours for flights between 1,500km and 3,500km; four hours for all other flights. So I "think" its £520pp for the flight part as compensation... but some sites say its a full refund for the flight... is it both?  Thanks,  Ryan  
    • Our business was only transacted digitally as I was not in England at that time.  
    • Funny. But not sure I should ! Wondering if I could place pots and plants - which a) would look nice and b) would it then be trespass and interference of goods?
    • probably this buy out everyone goes on about. well just make sure they do properly sanitise your credit file. dx

    • 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 y'all. :) Although I signed up some time ago it has taken me until now to finally try to get this claim on the road. I went through my statements last night but unfortunately have some missing (oh how I was looking forward to having them all - but thats life). Can someone let me know, whether I can claim beyond the 6 years? and if so, it is better to claim in one go or break them down in £5,000 claims? Looking forward to your responses.

Hi Slim

 

They seem to be just getting in around the 40 day mark even though the standard response blurb letter they send out to acknowledge your request will state a date that is usually a calendar month from the date they write...ignore this and just stick to giving them 40 days + 2 days (for your friendly postman). If it's not landed on your doorstep on day 42, send the next letter - LBA for DPA breach.

 

There's lots of info about the pre 6yrs rule but I haven't read. I think the general feel is to break them up, seeking the 2001-2007 first.

3 Active Claims:

Barclays Refund of Bank Charges (Sole account) - Applied to lift court ordered Stay

Barclays Refund of Bank Charges (Joint account) - Awaiting court date

Barclays Refund of Bank Charges (Joint account) Pre-6 yrs- LBA sent.

 

 

3 Wins :

Barclays t/a The Woolwich (Data Protection Act breach costs & compliance)

HSBC (on behalf of brother)

Settled Out of Court - £3,874.76

Alliance & Leicester (on behalf of friend)

Settled Out of Court - £723.41

I got home last night to find a Schedule of charges from The Woolwich. Now the amount the shown on the cannot go through small claims. I am in the process of typing up the schedule to include interest charges once I have done that I will be send my request to them.

 

I am quite surprised that they have responded so quickly I haven't had a chance to look through the website properly.

 

I am intended to make a full claim rather than in £5,000 purportions. Has anyone done this and been successful?

 

Thanks in advance.:p

Quite a few on here have successfully gone for the £5k + sum in one go so you'll find plenty of experience on the site.

 

Barclays t/a Woolwich don't appear to be following any set pattern for discriminating between snail pace block all the way -v- making an offer early on in case (unless perhaps it is influenced by whether or not claimant is still an attractive customer).

I'm new to CAG. I have a £3.5k claim against the Woolwich that I submitted via MOC. This has now reached the defendant (Woolwich) submitting their defence. I am waiting for a communication from the local court. Has anyone reach this stage? what should I expect? and any advice on preparation for the court?

 

All help welcome.

Dear slim69

 

My claim is well over the 5K, and I have been told by my court that it would be allocated to the Small Claims. I don't know or have read anyone going to the Fast Track as yet. You don't have to worry about it yet not until the AQ stage. Best of luck

 

WarrenTuff

i have just recieved notification from the courts that mine is fast track and i dont know what to do

The Good thing about this is that Barclays HAVE to disclose how much the charges are, and they do not want to do this, so they will settle before court date. The bad I have read that it could take longer for a court date, have your court given you a date yet. Have Barclay's offered a defence yet, if so you will get a Allocation Questionaire, from this point you should get a court date.

 

Let me know the exact stage you are at, so that I know what stage is next.

thank you for replyin to me, i have recieved a letter titled general form of judgement or order and it states that the judge has considered the case and ordered that the claim is allocated to fast track, the action is stayed untill 6.7.07 and me and the bank are to talk, by 4pm on the 20.7.07 we both have to file a report, it does state that because this order has been made by the courtwithout representation from either party we both have the right to apply to have the order set aside, varied or stayed i have not been given a allocation questionaire, or been asked to pay anymore money

Sounds really legal, however give barclays a call to see what their response will be. I'm sure you will be told that they will settle 2-3 weeks before court date (I was) refunding full chagres with 8% interest and court costs. You will find the various numbers on my thread. You can all but try. Let me know the outcome.:)

With Woolwich apparently switching over permanently to Barclays on 20/7 (new account details not yet received), who do I send my LBA to. I have been fighting with my schedule for nearly a month now and just want to get it off. The principle amount is correct but the interest can be different from one day to the next. I would prefer to send this by email as with a busy little one and work commitments I may drag my heels to send it by recorded deliver.

 

I received my schedule from a Carla Rundle from Openplan. Has anyone had any dealings with her?

 

Congratulations to all who have been successful in their claim in the last couple of months.

 

Thanks

Wow I have now had a response from Barclays (not bad for email them on Sunday night/Monday morning). The have made a goodwill gesture of just over half my claim. Of course I am not happy with that and wondered if at this stage anyone has experience of asking for a schedule of charges either side of the period they are claiming.

 

What I would like to do is assess those figures first before making them an offer.

 

Thanks for all the assistance I have received so far from members.

Hi Slim

 

Why would you make them an offer? Surely you want all your money back so will be sending a rejection offer (in which you accept the GOGW as part payment only).

 

If they have added more charges since you sent your Preliminary Letter, just send an update Schedule of Charges with your rejection letter.

 

Truth is Slim, Woolwich are not going to turn around and make this easy for you by caving in and refunded the full amount so why would you want to make an 'offer'? It is all your money, you don't have to try and negotiate with them to try and get a good deal - you take them to court and get it all back!

 

Don't delay in sending back the rejection (partial payment acceptance) and don't delay in following up with LBA which I suspect is about due now.

 

Don't combine the two - send them seperately and both registered.

 

Only once you file a claim with the court can you add the 8% remember :)
