    • Seems as if Germany has their own version of Boris🤣   ”I know that some of you are impatient with my posts about German politics, and particularly my repeated pieces on our retarded Health Minister. I get that this can seem like inside baseball, and that all of you suffer under the very similar idiocies of your own Covid politicians. But, I just can’t help myself. Lauterbach is a special case, a truly monumental idiot who in his boundless incompetence and stupidity vastly exceeds his peers. It is my aim to make him the international symbol of pandemic derangement. I want pictures of this human incarnation of everything that is wrong with masking children and force-vaccinating millions printed next to future dictionary entries on Covidianism.

Had some momentous event occurred that had made them question their prejudices? Later in the morning, I stumbled on a possible cause. There was an article prominently displayed in the Guardian print edition and on its website under the byline of the paper's Economics Editor, Larry Elliott.

    • 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,

This forum is absolutely class, and without being a brown-nose the mods etc are doing an excellent job helping out poor souls like myself !!

OK, I'm a bit thick and have read everything I can understand on this site, so here is the lowdown.

I've just wrote my letter requesting repayment of charges (without the 8% - which is added when I file my claim?)

I've worked out £1030 altogether and £730 of that from 2000 - 2001 when I had just turned 18!!

Do people have better responses e-mailing or posting their letters?

 

If anyone could clarify this for me it would be most appreciated,

Thanks again,

Claw

DrClaw,

 

You're correct - 8% doesn't get added until you actually file your claim in the courts.

 

Re method of delivery - do both. E-mail it and follow up in the mail. That's what I did although having said that, they took six weeks to respond to my LBA by which time I'd already filed a claim! I don't think that had anything to do with my method of delivery though.

Cool, going to get down to the post office in the morning and send it !!

It's amazing how much these companies make off us, I remember being offered a £12.750 loan/credit card/check book-guarantee card when I turned 18 and I didn't even earn that in a year!! I thought 18-19 was a bad year for me but £730 over 12 months is rediculous... No wonder this country is in so much debt. WHEN I get my money I am going to go on holiday and send a nice postcard to the branch...

I would suggest that you send any mail by recorded delivery. Just so that they can't deny receiving it!!

Not being ignorant, but I think this post was missed - does anyone know if you have to be more specific than this or is their information provided by online banking enough?

I've had a mail this morning from HSBC as follows...

 

Dear Dr Claw (not my real name!)

15 June 2006

Thank you for your recent email.

I am looking into the matters you have raised and will contact you with a full response as soon as I have completed my investigations.

I am formally obliged to advise you of the Bank’s complaint handling procedures that you can view by logging on to www.hsbc.co.uk and Contact Us, then 'How to Complain' which sets out the relevant details for you.

Once again, thank you for taking the time to contact us. I am only sorry it has been necessary for you to do so.

Yours sincerely

Customer Relations Officer

 

Does this mean I should now send my letter Before Action or do I have to wait a further 12 days (14 in total) before sending it? I await your responses!

My advice would to stick to your timetable rigidly, these letters are just to try and put you off track.

It is good to demonstrate that you have given ample time for the bank to respond, but not give them too much time either.

 

All the best with your claim!

So I should wait another 12 days to send the next letter even though in the request for repayment letter it says the following...

 

I will give you 14 days to reply to me accepting, unconditionally, my request in principle and letting me know a date by which I will receive payment.

 

If you do not respond, or you do not respond positively, within this time period, I shall send you a letter before action giving you a further 14 days in which to reflect. I believe that these targets are more than sufficient for a large company such as yours with dedicated staff and departments.

They have responded to this in a non positive way, so does that not mean I should send the Letter Before Action and obviously this time give them the full 14 days before I file the claim regardless of whether they respond or not?

The best thing to do is 14 days, then 14 days LBA.

Stick to your original timeframe, this shows you to be professional, and you cover your back:D

Well, they haven't actually responded non positively though. They've acknowleged receipt of your complaint and have advised that they are investigating which actually shows a little courtesy.

 

Wait til the 14 days are up.

Re 'total charges' and finding out specifically what these were for, if you click on the 'total charges' sometimes it tells you what the charge was for.

Hope this helps and good luck!

Well after a standard reply to my first letter and 14 days notice (which went very quick!) I sent my letter before action this morning. Hopefully someone will actually read it this time and not just hit the 'send letter' button on their special keyboard...

Ok, so further to my letter before action on the 28th June HSBC have come back with an offer i'm very tempted to take. They owe me a total of £1030 and have offered me £930. I know it's £100 less but so far I have not had to put in my claim yet. I didn't put in the letter the total interest they would owe me, does this matter?

Also how long could they potentionally make me wait for my further £100 and do you think I should take the money and run?

Link to post
Share on other sites

Obviously it's entirely up to you but why should you settle for anything less than the full amount?

 

I don't know about you but I could think of a lot of things to do with an extra £100 so why let them keep it?

 

Also if they don't pay the full amount before you start legal action then you will get 8% interest too.

Yeah, good point... do they usually offer the FULL amount before it goes to court (or once I send back the letter declining) Also, what do I write in the response. I remember seeing somewhere it was 'I accept this offer in part payment' or something but I can't find the post

Share on other sites

You coluld send the following:

 

Dear Mr Banker

 

Thank you for your offer of £xxx.xx as part settlement of my claim.

 

Your offer is not satisfactory, although I am prepared to accept this sum, unconditionally, in part-settlement of my FULL claim of £yyy.yy.

 

I shall continue to proceed with my action to recover the remainder of my claim.

 

There's only 2 possible outcomes: either they give you the full amount; or they stick to their guns, and you take them to court and still get the full amount, and interest too.
