    • You have to request judgement when no defence submitted.. The question is how with Money  Claim Online?
    • There are example threads where AOS is done but defences are submitted late, it happens, sometimes because MCOL is broken! As the claimant you will be able to reference a late filing and request it be struck out for not following Court Directions, for example if the defendant arrived at court with it on the day without submitting... but I believe there is some (slight) wriggle room for defendants (reasons depending) on late defence. I believe you just need to continue your claim, no defence and not following court directions will almost certainly strengthen your case
    • I'm afraid it's against site rules to recommend lawyers. You could look on the Law Society's Find a Solicitor page for local firms with the right expertise, or google nwnf lawyers in the uk, then check out reviews on social media, review websites and so on, to see how other people rate them. If they say they don't do nwnf, I would ask if they know a firm that does. 403 - The Law Society SOLICITORS.LAWSOCIETY.ORG.UK HB
    • Thanks for that information. I seem to think they have similar names and similar addresses and I thought it was Aldi that was offering the great deal that attracted you to that car park. So we are still stuck with Nexus. Please do not call DCBL about a settlement figure.The first reason is that they have your telephone number which is not something you want to give to those vultures as you rightly call them. They will then harass you on the phone and try and send you last minute details the day before the case -which they shouldn't do. And second they are already charging you £60 to £70 more than they should lawfully, to that they will then add the Court costs that they haven't yet paid or incurred and then say that they will give you this great offer of £150 to avoid going to court.Big deal-not. Were it around £50 that would be a better deal but they would not accept that.   
    • Hugo, how are you getting on? the deadlines can creep up on you. It's useful to have a week or two in drafting a defence, so you can understand it for yourself before submitting.

    • 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 Buby...

 

Hi. I received a letter from Southend to say that my court allocation hearing is in September.Good.

 

I, this morning, have received another letter saying that my case has been stayed untill the outcome of the high court hearing about charges. Who sent this letter? If it was the bank/solicitors, it's not up to them if a stay is granted. If it's the court, the stay can be challenged.

 

What is this high court hearing they are talking about...Am a little confused. The court hearing referred to, is the test case brought by the OFT. See link:

Thanks for your reply...Have not been around for 7 weeks, hence only just resuming my bank charge claim.

The letter about the stay was sent to me by southend court, does this mean I will still have to attend in september.

How long before the high court hearing or is that still in the early stages.

Hi Buby

 

Does it say on the letter that the hearing on xx/xx/xxxx has been "vacated?" If so then no, you do not have to attend.

 

If you are still unsure, post up the contents of the letter here, then someone can advise you further.

 

Best regards

The form that was sent reads as follows.....

 

Upon proceedings having been issued in the High Court to determine the lagality or otherwise of Bank Charges;

 

Before District Judge Dudley sitting at Southend County Court at Tylers House.

And upon it appearing to the court that this claim will be affected by the outcome of those proceedings;

IT IS ORDERED THAT

1. This claim be stayeduntil determination of the high court proceedings.

2. liberty to either party to apply on notice under CPR 23 to lift the stay.

3. The hearing of any application to lift the stay be reserved to district Judge Dudley

 

This order was made of the courts own initative pursuant to CPR Part 3.3(4). You may apply to set aside, vary or stay the order but such application must be made within 7 days of receivng it. ( I received it on about 10th August).

 

 

 

There is also a letter attached from the court saying as follows...

 

You will find attached an order from the court in relation to your case.

 

All cases have been stayed( all proceedings halted until the test case is determined)

 

If you need to get in touch do so in writing blah blah.

 

Thanks for your help.

Hi Buby

 

OH I replied earlier, but it is not here?:confused: My fault I guess.

 

Anyway, my interpretation is that you do not have to attend, because the Court have issued the Stay.

 

I would ring the Court tomorrow to confirm that the Hearing has been stayed, and also contact a Mod/SiteHelper re an apllication against the stay, as you are now outside the time limit set by the Court.

 

Sorry I can't be of more help.

 

Best regards

Hi. Thanks for your help. I don't like to pm a mod helper as I'm sure they are very busy. So wondered if one of them would pick this post up!!!!!!!1. I am now outside my time for putting in an application against the stay. Wondered if there was anything I could do as I don't want to have to wait till 2008 to get my money owing.

Hi Buby...

 

Personally, although out of the time limit, I see no reason why you shouldn't request a removal of the stay. You have absolutely nothing to lose by doing so. I and many others are in exactly the same boat!!

Hello to all.

I had my claim stayed back on 31st july 2007 and also my Barclays claim stayed on the same date. I never tried to get the stay lifted but now with christmas looming up I could really do witht he money or even know I'll get it soon after. I am severly struggling financially. I am not on any benifits but my credit cards are on there lilmits . am I able to apply to get the stays lifted at this late stage.

Has there been any news on the pending case with the oft.

Hi there, I am afraid that you probably wouldnt be able to get the stay lifted now before the test case, alot of hardship cases havnt even been allowed to have the stay lifted so I am afraid that you might well be wasting your time trying.

Hi All and Happy New Year.

 

As I await the test case the lovely Abbey have given me a little new year pressie.......Yes more charges...... How can they still be allowed to give us charges when we are not allowed to claim them back until after the test case. This is surely not fair. is there anything I can do as I just don't have the money to pay these charges.

Well have you rang them to see if they will reverse them? if they wont, there isnt alot more you can do about it apart from wait a while and perhaps file an N244 at the court and add on these charges.

 

Im sorry, cant be more help. Unless you open a new account and have everything put through the new account and put the old account into dispute

Can anyone tell me what is going on with the test case. i understand that the banks are going to appeal. My claim has been stayed at my court so is it just a waiting game now... If the banks don't have to repay our charges because all the claims are stayed then how come they are still allowed to charge us for going overdrawn. surely they shouldn't be allowed. Whats good for us should be good for them.

Hi....My claim, like every one elses, was pout on hold till after the test case. Then the banks lost and appealled so how long do we have to wait till we can get our money back It seems a little unfair that the reclaim process has been put on hold but the banks are still allowed to charge us if we go overdrawn.

Can anyone give me an up date as to whats happeneing

Hi Buby

 

The only way the stayed claims with Abbey are being paid 65% of claim is if you can show that you are in financial hardship as defined by the FSA waiver. In order to do this you must first complete and income and expenses statement, provide all the evidence that support your claim and write a nice letter.

 

If you believe you come under the present FSA waiver guidlines you could stand a good chance of getting an interim payment.

 

Regards
