    • Sunak actually nailed it in his boring speech yesterday  Starmers only offering is vote to be depressed  Just about sums up lefties  Humourless and Depresive🤣
    • Ah ok I will see if we receive it in the post tomorrow before I go to work. We want to see theirs so we know what documents they will list ? If their N265 is not received then best to send ours so that we do not miss the claimants deadline as per their draft directions.  What would happen if we did miss the deadline even by 1 day ? The claimant would use it against us in court ?  I scanned and posted in #159 the claimants continuation sheet attached to the N244 where they give a background of the case and reference e-mails etc. After this I will continue to work on the WS which is also causing me anxiety. This will also be used to object to their SJ application. I will advise tomorrow if anything else is received.  
    • Last September our 2019 plate Motorhome went to Brownhills of Newark for its annual habitation check/service. Whilst on there site for the day one of their drivers managed to drive it into a lamp post and put a 2m long scratch down the side of the body. They didn't own up to the damage, but luckily we noticed it before leaving the site, at which point the admitted fault and said they would fix it in house rather than go through the insurance. As they are an authorised Motor home repairer etc we agreed to this and a time frame of 3 weeks was given for the repair, which was booked in for late November. It could not be booked in sooner for the repair as we had a weekends away etc booked with the vehicle until mid November.  3 weeks, and a simple re-spray has now evolved to 18 weeks of them having the vehicle, due to the spray job having to be done 3 times, a window seal not been re-fitted correctly, leading to rain water pouring into the van and the replacement decals been applied wrong twice & having to be re-ordered from Elddis who originally built the camper. We finally got the vehicle back in late April, still minus 1 of the decals.   Back in March we had an email from Brownhills asking what compensation we would accept due to the delays in returning the vehicle to us (They have had it for 18 weeks instead of the initial 3 weeks which was agreed). Once we finally got the vehicle back we told them what we expected (Basically the value that the camper has depreciated by in the extra 15 weeks they have had it and which time we were unable to use it). They are now refusing to honour any compensation and are only offering us a free service for when this is due in September.   Legally where do we stand?  Obviously we are not taking it back to them for a service, given that last time they managed to crash it and its taken so long for them to make such a simple repair. We are considering legal action, but are not really sure under what grounds/legislation we could claim. Any advice would be much appreciated.
    • Usual alarmist tripe from the Guardian exposed🤣     Many of the ‘Climate Experts’ Surveyed by the Guardian in Recent Propaganda Blitz Turn Out to be Emotionally-Unstable Hysterics – The Daily Sceptic DAILYSCEPTIC.ORG Last week, the Guardian published a survey of 383 'climate experts' and – shock – many of them turned out to be... The Guardian last week published its survey of ‘climate experts’. The results are a predictable mush of fire-and-brimstone predictions and emotional incontinence. This stunt may have convinced those already aligned to the newspaper’s ideological agenda to redouble their characteristically shrill rhetoric, but encouraging scientists to speculate and emote about the future of the planet looks like an act of political desperation, not scientific communication.
    • Thanks all. Just by way of an update, I've emailed the supplemental WS to both the court and UKPC on Sunday evening.   Had the following autoreply from UKPC, so not sure if anyone would look at it before Thu, is it worth calling them to see if they have received it? Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you for your email. Please be advised that we aim to respond within 28 days. Please note that we cannot accept appeals against parking charges via this inbox and the opportunity to appeal this parking charge has expired. Many Thanks, Litigation Team UK Parking Control Ltd

    • 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.

12.Accordingly the Claimant claims:

i. The return of the amounts debited in respect of charges in the sum of £1892.00 as set out on the attached list of charges.

ii. Court costs (court fee of £120.00, Allocation Questionnaire fee of £100.00).

iii. interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from 21 Mar 2005 to 15 Sept 2006 of £XXX (8% interest figure)as set out on the attached list of charge,and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of 0.42p

I hope you don't mind me butting into your thread, chica. I'm at the same stage as you.

 

Michael - Where does the "...daily rate of 0.42p" come from? Why have you only suggested claiming the 8% interest up to 15th Sept 2006?

Daily rate is just your charges X 0.00022

ie £1892 x 0.00022= £0.42p

The dates are Chica's not mine. 15th Sept is presumably when she originally filed the claim.

Well I've handed in my witness statement and as of 12.00pm, Abbey hadn't filed theirs!!! I realise they have until 4.00pm but what are the chances of them submitting it before then!!!!

Is there a template letter I could use to write to the Judge asking him to strike out the defence. I've still heard nothing from Abbey or the courts??

Thanks for that Karnevil, but its not needed anymore!!!!

I recieved a letter from Abbey yesterday.

It says:

In view of the amount that you are claiming and the legal costs that Abbey National plc (Abbey) would incur in arranging defence and representation at the Court, the decision has been made that, in this instance, your claim will be settled in full.

 

Payment will include bank charges and interest totalling £2000.25, continuing interest totalling £43.54 and court fees of £220. This gives a total settlement amount of £2263.79. Abbey is raising a cheque for this amount, which will be paid into your account (if open) or posted to you. Please would you confirm receipt of the funds by signing and returning the additional copy of this letter.

 

This payment of £2263.79 represents full and final settlement of your claim. It is on a 'without prejudice' basis and is entirely without any admission of legal liability by Abbey.

We have written to the court to inform them that the case is being settled in full and asking them to withdraw the Preliminary Hearing from the court list. Once payment has been made we would be grateful if you would inform the Court that you have withdrawn the claim.

 

Yours faithfully,

Abbey National plc

 

 

(I have to sign this statement)

I, XXXX, have recieved the sum of £2263.79 in full and final settlement of my Claim against Abbey National plc, 6QZ66186, and confirm that I will write to the court and withdraw the claim.

Dated and signed by ME!

 

 

 

SO TO CONCLUDE WE HAVE BEATEN THE B***ERS AGAIN!!!!

 

Can I request that it is sent by cheque even though my account is still open with them?

 

Thanks everyone for your help. Donation on its way when I get the cash!!

Just had a read through this whole thread as I'm thinking of starting the ball rolling to claim back my charges from the last 6 years.

 

Quality reading I must say. I've now just opened an account with Natwest so I can transfer everything over to that before I write to Abbey and they take my overdraft facility away!

 

Good stuff Chica
