    • Well we can't predict what the judge will believe. PE will say that they responded in the deadline and you will say they don't. Nobody can tell what a random DJ will decide. However if you go for an OOC settlement you should still be able to get some money
    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • 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 tried, but i am not too clever with words. How does this look like?

Dear Mrs Kirkham,

i'm writing to you regarding the above claim nr.xxxxxxxxx jellybabe v Abbey National Plc (Cahoot).

 

After having received no further communication from you, I like to inform you that i have now sent the Judgement

It's a pain up the backside!I still can't understand why they drag it out like that.They very well know that they will pay out.

Anyway....i wish you good luck for an early settlement, and i'm glad you pop in every now and then to give me advice.It's good to know not to be alone.

As much of a pain as it is waiting, just means they are going to have to pay you more money in interest. :)

no probs - My court is very busy at the moment... they were going to strike over 0.5% pay rise. They were offered 3.5% and they wanted 4%! in the end the didn't strike but refused any overtime - so now they have a backlog :(

 

Wish I got a pay rise each year at all!!

 

only 2 months i suppose - I've got my smaller credit card claims to keep me busy, they are going along a lot quicker!

 

Good luck, hope your court date isn't too far away.

Another good thing in my case is that i might be able to negotiate with the settlement after all. There has been another £140 in charges since i put my claim in. And i might just ask them to include those with the settlement, and see what they say.

Another question:

Is it still ok to send letters to them marked as "without prejudice" or should i send them without it. Does anyone know? As i heard split opinions about it.

i contacted Inga Kirkham by email, and this is the reply i got today:

Dear jellybabe,

 

Thank you for your letter.

 

Due to the extreme volume of cases being dealt with at Abbey National Plc I am undable to prioritise your in front of those older claims on foot unless there is some commerical advantage to Abbey National Plc to do so.

 

A settlement in full at this stage does not offer Abbey any commercial advantage that is different from any other request from another claimant who would have commenced a claim before you i.e. ongoing interest/ court costs etc. Please appreciate all claimants take this view.

 

The conduct of all claims is being strictly monitored in accordance with the Civil Procedure Rules and dead lines imposed by the Court. This is a necessity in view of the number of claims we are dealing with. It is simply a timing/ volume issue.

 

If you would like to reconsider your position and put a settlement offer to me, that gives me a commercial reason to extract and verify your claim ahead of normal time schedules, I am more than willing to do so.

 

Kind regards,

 

Inga Kirkman

Any advice on what i could answer to that??

naw, shes basically asking you to put in a lower offer than what you are claiming for and she will see what she can do.

my other half settled with cahoot for only 75% of his claim, however the whole process only took about 3weeks!! they seem to act fast if you lower your claim. ie; cost them less in the long run.

Thats what i thought she was saying. I will deff not settle for anything less than the 100%. If they really wnated to save costs, then why don't they settle straight away??

I guess i will have to play the waiting game, but would have been nice if i could answer something to make them realise, not to toy with me.

Thanks for your reply missm, much appreciated.

i've been reading and reading and reading on other abbey threads on here.

I have to admit i am starting to get a bit nervous, or maybe it's just dissappointment. Almost everyone seems to get an offer latest at the AQ stage, i haven't had one single offer yet.

This waiting is nerve wrecking.

I'm the same as you - I don't think they are bothering with offer now as no-one is accepting.

Just keep going!!!

CAhoot seem to be one of the most stubborn banks out there... and to tell you the truth I would be quite interested to see how their charges can equate the same as a bank with say BRANCHES or say, TELLERS???????

oh, at last, i received a letter of the court this morning!The Hearing of the Claim will take place on the 23rd April (!) and should take no longer than 1 hour.The directions are:

 

1)The Claimant shall within 21 days of service of this order send to the Defendant and to the Court:

a)A schedule setting out each charge repayment of which is sought, showing the date, amount and alleged reason (if any) for that charge being made.

b)Copies of any statement or other document relied upon as showing that each charge and every charge has been made.

c)A statement of evidence, if such is to be relied upon, as tending to show that the alleged charges have been made, or that they are irrecoverable as penalties and, if so, identifying the relevant clause(s) pursuant to which the charges were applied.

d)Copies of decided cases and other legal materials to be relied upon.

If the Claimant fails to comply with this order, the Claim will be struck out without further order.

2)The Defendant shall within 21 days thereafter file and serve a response to the Claimant's schedule, stating in respect of each item claimed:

a)Pursuant to what contractual provision such charge was being made, producing a copy of the contractual document relied upon,

b)Whether such charge is accepted to be a penalty, and if not, why not;

c)If such charge is alleged to be a pre-estimate of teh Defendant's loss incurred by the Claimant's actions (whether or not such action is to be treated as a breach of contract between the parties), all facts and matters intended to be relied upon as showing that such is a proper estimate of such loss, and all evidence to be adduced at trial as to what the true cost of dealing with the matter was.

d)Any witness statements.

e)Copies of decided cases and other legal materials to be relied upon.

If the Defendant fails to comply with this order, the Defence will be struck out without further order.

3)The original documents shall be brought to the Hearing.

4)The court must be informed immediately if the case is settled by agreement before the hearing date.

 

So, looking at this, the only chance to get settlement a little bit quicker is to send my docs off asap, so they have to send theirs within 21 days after receicing mine.Is that right?

Any Advice for me before i start? And, is this the normal court bundle i will be preparing?

Thank jkop, i do hope so.

I've got everything ready to print.

Got my schedule,

Copies of statements....well the printouts they sent me,

statement of evidence...i seen that on another thread i'm watching

and last but not least,

the relevant bits out of the court bundle.

Is that it??Or do i still print out the whole court bundle??

Also, it doesn't say anything about including all the letters i've sent and received of cahoot??Does that mean i don't have to include them??

Hope your court date will arrive soon!

Hi, i wonder if anyone could help with a letter.I'm not too good at finding the right words.

I would like to send an email to Inga Kirkham as a last resort to reach settlement before i send my bundle off.So if anyone out there could assist me, it would be greatly appreciated.

received a read receipt at last.Let's see if she wants to settle yet.I offered her to settle for statutory 8% instead of the contractual rate i was going for. I am more than happy to do that, after all, that is more than i was ever hoping for before i found tis website.
