    • if i remember rightly, long ago in one of the first drafts of the old proposed gov't overhauls, there was a listing of recommended 'charges' that inc wrong reg = £20. some PPC's implemented such changes in advance. then later as it looked increasing likely the new code was never going to be implemented after it's 1st review and another set of codes was to be debated they all quietly revert back .......... dx
    • Potentially it may not even get sold on? Just the default left for 6 years then gone? but if it is sold on ill get a letter from the DCA which is the notice of assignment? Sorry what is the different between a default notice and a default cal marker? yes, i may try and work arrangements out with the OCs after the breathing space but I'll see my circumstances then thank you again for all your help and patience, I really appreciate it and apologies If i am too fast or repeating myself.
    • receiving a default NOTICE (forget simple default cal markers) does not mean it will get sold on... OC's very very rarely do court themselves.  if it does you would receive a Notice of Assignment from the debt buyer/DCA.  as for reduced payment if it remains with the OC and they issue a DN, no harm in trying but lets get all your ducks inline first. dx  
    • okay thanks do you know how long it will take for it to get to the DCA or could the OC try and issue a CCJ? even though it's unlikely also for example would the OC agree to a reduction and a small payment over a super lengthy period of time if agreed? Rather than go through chasing apologies again for all the questions, just trying to understand all the possible scenarios.  
    • Currently - "the maximum daily price at 100p / kWh for electricity and 30p / kWh for gas – keep in mind that's a lot higher than the Ofgem Energy Price Cap, so if you can't afford prices to increase further, you're probably better off sticking with a protected tariff such as Flexible Octopus." Octopus Tracker is a product of our labs, available now to customers through our beta programme. Octopus Tracker is a beta product. Some things may not work the first time, and installations and processes may take longer than we'd like. Third party tech like In-home Displays won't always work, and on occasion data issues with smart meters can take significant time to fix or prevent things from working at all.   Copied straight from octopus   Feel free to shove it somewhere else

    • 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.

Hello everyone

 

I wonder if anyone could help me. I have filed a claim against my bank, Abby, and have just recieved a reply from the courts which I am confused about.

 

The letter states the following:

 

"Upon the courts own motion. The court has made this order of its own initiative wothout a hearing. If you object to the order, you must make an application to have it set aside, varied or stayed within 7 days of recieving it."

 

(first of all what does this mean, what happens in each of the three options i.e. to have an application set aside, varied or stayed and how would you go about either of them?????)

 

The letter then continues as follows:

IT IS ORDERED THAT

 

"This matter be listed on the 4th of July at 2:00pm to consider striking out the claim as disclosing no reasonable prospect of sucess in the light of the recent decision of Berwick -v- Lloyds TSB 15 May 2007."

 

My understanding is that the above case was dissmissed from court as the Judge, Judge Cooke from Birmingham, "took the view that the bank charges were legitimate fees for a package of services and not excessive penalty charges" (This Is Money, 2007) and was referring to charges of an overdraft.

 

My case is not claiming for fees incurred from an overdraft as I did not have one but from Direct Debits. All the charges I want to claim back are of approximately £2200 including interest all of which I was charged over a one year period. I was charged twelve times in one day at £35 per time as they just kept trying and trying repeatedly.

As a result I see my charges as extremely unfair penalties and would like to ask if I can appeal against the District Judge Besford for considering striking out my claim on the grounds of an unrelated claim?

 

Please answer as soon as you can as I have to reply to the court by tomorrow, my 7 days are over. I would have asked earlier but I have only just found your site :-(

Hello again

 

Just to say that I have now had things explained regarding the letter I recieved (must have been having a dizzy day). I simply have to go to court on the date set where the Judge will decide whether my case is worth pursuing. :-)

Which court is this?

 

I think you would be wise to do a bit more than just turn up at court and see what the judge decides. He has obviously misunderstood/not read the judgement on the Birmingham case.

 

You ought to have your own thread - you might get missed here at the tail end of a successful thread.
