    • “Not realising it was a no parking zone” doesn’t help you if the timing is correct, as (at least, on Google Maps / View) there is clear signage ('7am to midnight', parked at 15:22) What might be worth pursuing is the "ticket handed to driver" aspect : do you have any view on why they would be  stating that?
    • it's 85k of turnover (well, now £90k). However, you're digging yourself into another hole here. That ship has probably long since sailed. Is it worth pursuing this? You're not going to get anything back from it either way.
    • Hi,   A few pointers from yesterday to take note of evris cpr 27.9 failed again so we should really make issue of this also their WX fail to comply with CPR so again we should take issue with their statement of truth  you cant get tort if you get damages under subsection 7 of CRA because its double recovery  - not sure what we think of this? however its the first time i saw the judges make reference to your non automatic rights from s49 which s54 and 57 assist with. We should start stating this specifically for claims as I think its much better than just 49 and 57 as we need to make it clear where our non automatic rights come from as 54 automatic frankly dont help  I have sent the claim form and defences to the admin email because I can’t upload them for some reason as it wont let me but thought this may help as its the first time we’ve taken tort to trial. although i think the DDJ was honestly struggling to understand some parts of the law because he was asking me about them and how he should interpret them, especially for the automatic. Will apply for transcript if you want it?
    • I decided on confrontation - which I hate.  Omg the arrogance of the driver.  They refused to say who had given them the alleged permission to park on the private land - unless I proved ownership.  I couldn't believe they could be so objectionable.   They advised they couldn't take public transport to work as they lived too far away.  They couldn't rent a local garage as none were available. I simply said that's their issue not mine. It was infuriating that this person had such misplaced entitlement.  However I decided to humour them and show them the title deeds.   They couldn't respond.  Although at this point they alleged some guy in a city up north - whose name they couldn't remember - gave permission!!    They then asked if they could buy the garages and land!! Yet can't afford to park on a meter !! They seemed to back down and agree to now park elsewhere.  I hope so.

    • 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 there

 

This is my first claim and das it’s for around the Scottish Small Claims limit I’m hoping it won’t be too difficult.I’m in Scotland and my nearest court is Kilmarnock. So here’s where I’m at and would greatly appreciate any advice you can give me:

 

9th Feb 2007 – Requested Statements

Received Response in April – charges amount to £753 (788.68 incl. interest)

 

18th April I sent 1st request for repayment of charges – Deadline was 4th May

1 week later HBOS advised they were considering my claim and would give me an update in 4 weeks

27th April I sent another letter re-affirming deadline of 4th May

 

4th May I sent a letter to advise that I would commence court proceeding if no response received by 18th May.

 

I have not yet started the court proceedings but don’t want to hold off much longer before I make my next move. I have seen the FOS mentioned at this stage – is this the route I should be taking or should I just fill in my small claim?

 

(This is my first claim – I have a larger one for Abbey which is for around £2k and I will be at the court stage on 1st June for that one. )

Received a letter from HBOS saying they would get back to me no later than June 20th. My deadline for them was 18th May - should I wait or move forward. Still v confused about whether to do a small claim, go to the FOS and now I've read about a summary cause. Can someone help please?

Well, from what I've read elsewhere in this (great) Forum - the mods are always saying "Stick to your time-scale - not the bank's." And I see that the May 18th deadline has been exceeded.

 

HAMMER THEM!

 

And good luck on June 1st as well. Again, from what I've read here, they never turn up to defend!

 

 

PS. (And I'm still waiting for ALL my statements!)

Stick with your own timetable...you are the one raising a claim against them. Just check the FAQ's etc, to make sure you're doing it ok.

 

Also - I know this sounds silly, but the Small Claims Limit is £750 (not including any interest etc). You are claiming for £753, which exceeds it. Me personally, I wouldnt split it (£750 + £3!) or go down summary cause, I would cap it at £750,(a bit wimpish I know!) but as I said...that's just me. Perhaps FOS is another route? Be careful...hopefully one of the more knowlegable guys will post on this one to give more advice. Good Luck! ;)

Splitting claims is no longer really an option. You can go down the summary cause route, but the simplist thing would be to just lose the £3. Remenber the £750 limit is before interest.

Well I submitted my claim to Kilmarnock Sheriff Court on Friday and I must say they were very helpful. I was pretty intimidated by the whole court thing but the lady who checked over my wording said it was perfect - a big thanks to CAG ;) ! I hope this encourages others. I did however only have to pass over form 1 and 1b.

 

She said that the banks were defending more and more and BOS was turning up on the day too. Any worries or questions to just give her a call. She reckoned my date would be 3rd August.

I'll keep you posted.

My court date is 3rd August but I received a letter today from BOS advising that after investigating my complaint they are satisfied that the charges are correct, why they were applied and how they (BOS) can help. I'm assuming this is just standard and I should ignore it and wait for the court date?

Completely standard. Continue with your court claim. BOS (Bag Of Sh*te) will soon change their tune.

Hello,

The return date for my BOS claim was Friday and when I called the court today they said that BOS had not submitted a defence (which is apparently very unusual). I've to hand in my Form 11 by Wednesday stating Decree + expenses. Does this mean I've won? :eek:

You should now read this.

 

The form you need if you go for judgement is on the acknowledgement letter you recieved.

I'm still confused - sorry:confused: I understood that as the bank had not given a defence by the return date then that was an end to it? The court told me yesterday that I needn't do more and just wait for payment now but it seemed too easy. Also, this is in Scotland - if that makes a difference?

Hello,

I was delighted to receive my extract for payment this morning as the bank didn't lodge a defence in my case. I see that there are letter templates for the English system but I'm in Scotland and I'm not sure if there's a specific letter I should be sending the bank requesting payment based on the decree? Also, how long should i give them to pay up?

Many Thanks

Funky1
