    • Please go back and read my message posted at 10:27 this morning @jk2054. I didn't say that I wasn't going to provide documents, only that I will upload them to an online repo that I am in control of, and that I would share links to these. You shall still be able to read and download them no different from if they were hosted here. And, the issue I have is not so much with hosting, but using an online pdf editor to create a multi-page pdf, again I have discussed this that same message.
    • Thanks ,DX, I'd forgpotton about that letter and can't remember sending a SB letter. I must have left it and they did not chase. Unclebulgia. Yes several periods of no contact. Think its time for the SB letter . 
    • well if your not going to upload documents because you are too scared of your data being stolen and someone rocking up to you we are going to struggle to help you peoples energy data breach has nothing to do with a hosting site...

    • 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.

Good stuff.

I did get one bounce back from one of my emails (yahoo)but tried again on MSN and looks to have landed.

I take it that you have sent Citis copies with proof of posting/delivery ?

You will know from these forums that Citi were prolific when it came to bundles-seems they rarely got them ?????????

Eversheds I have to say have been a little more on the ball....so long as you forget about the very sensitive gov docs they were entrusted with but somehow lost on the train (ahem cough )

It is time for results and time for a swing.

No disrespect to Citis legal team-Uncle Brians days were memorarable but we all have to move on......and CAG has always led the way when it comes to Citi claims.

I am waiting for Brians memoirs-it should be a better read than anything Archer ever written.;)

And so the malarky starts :rolleyes:...

 

Both bundles due into court and to the other party by 4pm on the 14th January by order of the Court... Mine was in by the skin of my teeth but Citi... or rather Speechly Bircham LLP did not submit and still havent...

 

I now have a letter from Speechly Bircham LLP stating "Please be aware that we are no longer instructed by Citifinancial Europe Plc in respect of the above claim. The matter has been passed to the new law firm Shoosmiths"

 

So we will see what they do :D

 

I cant wait for next Thursday just to see what kind of excuse they use for not having the correct information in court for the hearing :D.

If you have the draft order adopted whereby their defence is struck out for non-compliance i'd be requesting that.

Advice offered by ENRON is without prejudice and is for your judgement as to whether to take it. You should seek the assistance or hire of a solicitor or other paid professional if in doubt.

Lucky Pete?

 

I hope so. Rather depends on whether the Court follows the rules and regs.

 

I love the solicitors' names:p

 

Personally, I would go for the old established firm of Messrs. Sue, Grabbit & Runne.

 

Will await next instalment.

 

As ever.

Hi CB,

 

Have you served a copy of your bundle upon Shoesmiths?

Well the plot thickens :) I have had a phone call from Shoosmiths asking if I was willing to negotiate a settlement :rolleyes: but they would need an adjurnment to organise it... they also offered to send the documents I have been asking for for the last two years. So I have also had an email enclosing a blank generic application form, a glossy leaflet stating welcome to Citibank and a glossy leaflet detailing the terms and conditions of the PPI insurance... the email states that these would have been sent to me as a welcome pack

 

Unfortunatly documents 1 and 2 of the correspondence section of my bundle are actualy what was sent to me as a welcome pack (I know, I know I'm analy retentive :rolleyes:) and its nothing like any of the documents I have just been sent... added to that the terms and conditions that Shoosmiths have sent are nothing like the two sets of terms and conditions Speechly Bircham appended to the defence document.

 

Anyway this is all of no consequence its all just minor amusment along the way... My claim is against CitiFinancial Europe Plc. It is their choice who they instruct to represent them and when, and if they choose to change this 6 days before a hearing again its their choice but it cannot affect the proceedings that have been put in place by me, the claimant and Birmingham County Court.

 

CitiFinancial have already had a 21 day extension to allow them to locate their documents and prepare their defence and on that basis I have objected to an adjournment.

 

Finaly on the basis that one of the orders listed on the notice of hearing was:

The parties should note that the court may decide not to take into account a document or the evedence of a witness if no copy of that document or no copy of a statement or report by that witness has been supplied to the other parties.

I have requested the defence to be struck out because with no bundle submitted it has no reasonable expectation of succeeding.

I assume they have a number of solicitors they use so they can muddy the water, confuse and delay things as much as possible.

You just need to be aware of the litigation philosophy CitiFinancial use and when something a little odd happens ask yourself how and why it has happened and send it right back to them with bows on :).

Yes they do use locals but the lead works has predominantly been overseen.

 

I suppose theres an upswing in that Shoesmiths have been a name on many Caggers files-I think they have dealt with most of the banks at some point and are prolific in DC orientated circles

 

Not much we dont know about them then.

My experience of almost all Citi claims and cases is that their inhouse team has the last say and directs the case in the background.
