    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the 02/01/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the 19/05/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, 02/06/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

    • 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 received an anonymous-looking postcard addressed to me by my first name, not by my surname as well.

 

It started off with the We have an important delivery for you that requires a signature hokum; but it looks suspicous.

 

Where there would be a full name, it just has my title and first name; not my surname.

 

Where there is space for a postcode, this is left blank.

 

On turning the card over, I note that the date for which the item is available is blank.

 

I note that there is further bumps pointing to the web site which is www.thedx.co.uk/delivery where you are invited to post in a reference number which takes the form of DX 0000 0000 0GB (where 0 stands for any number between 0 and 9).

 

The phone number quoted is that of the one in the title of the post and the time and date of the delivery is left blank.

 

Are these Edit trying to catch people out? I understand that they do rather a lot of bulk mailing for the government.

 

There are conflicting views about what they will and will not deliver; for example, some popular websites positon them as delivering visa and other credit cards, while their own web sites state categorically that they do not ever undertake to deliver such items.

 

I have looked around the internet and cannot seem to find anything to identify who these people are, so I think it is worth drawing everyone's attention to this, as it could save people a great deal of grief.

There are no postage details on it, particularly.

 

DX Secure is itself a postal company that offers an alternative service to that of the Royal Mail.

 

I do have my suspicions about them.

 

Their full address is:

 

Secure Mail Services Lt. Registered in England and Wales N. 04072377, Registered Office DX House, Ridgeway, Iver, Buckinghamshire SL0 9JQ.

 

They do seem rather worrying, partly due to the incompleteness of the postcard, but also the rather sinister anonymity this entails.

There was a piece on watchdog last week about people getting these, when they phoned the number they were asked to pay £2.50 via cc to have the goods redelivered.

It was a [problem] and people have lost thousands of pounds.

It certainly sounds suspicious to me, which is why I thought I would post it here.

 

Google might pick up the details I posted in my original post; which hopefully will give others the heads-up when investigating the matter for themselves.

Hi - I've just stumbled across this thread after receiving a card from DX - it has my name etc on it and I've just rearranged a delivery to my work address via their website - I'm waiting for gig tickets so got a little bit excited! I just wondered if any original posters had any further experience with DX Secure?

 

Thanks,

Steph

I suspect DX itself is a [problem], even without dodgy characters trying to pretend to be them. I got a card on Saturday delivered when I was at home - they did not buzz the doorbell to try to deliver the Home Office documents they were meant to get to me. When you call, you are CHARGED for the line and then they try to force you to pay a fee to have a timed delivery. If you do not want to pay, they will only give you an eight-hour window, and it has to be from Monday to Friday, and at your home address, and in office hours. So for vast majority, impossible - forcing you to pay or else go to one of their pick-up centres which in my case will be a three hour round trip which again has to be done on one alloted day, or else your item will be removed. And they don't even tell you when during that allotted day the item will arrive! It is I believe actual blackmail - they have your Home Office documents, and they will do everything they can to force you to ring up (making them cash) and then finally in emotional exhaustion, to pay for the timed delivery. Outrageous that the Home Office is using such an organisation.

It sounds as though this 'DX Secure' is deliberately trying to create confusion with the Document Exchange (DX) system using in the legal world.

May be worth reporting to Trading Standards.

 

If they are asking for £2.50 then it is definitely a [problem]. Send it straight off to Trading Standards. It might even be of interest to the police as this sort of [problem] happens occasionally.

I really do appreciate all those 'thank you' emails - I'm glad I've been able to help. Apologies if I haven't acknowledged all of them.

You can also ding my gong if you prefer. :)

I have had the pleasure????????? of dealing with this company on two occasions, firstly with getting some tickets for an event (finally delivered to a work address and then stolen) and this time with a passport (GB) delivered twice, at home both times, still no passport, still waiting.

 

This is not a [problem] but a company that tries to hide behind anonymity so that no one can complain. The service may work for solicitors and the like who have constantly manned reception desks, but for private addresses it is a less than useless service.

 

The ticket companies do not care about non delivery, they have had their money and the passport office is a government department. Say no more.

 

A point of contact.

A week ago (10th) I returned home to find a DX Secure card as previously described in this forum. I couldn't think of anything I was expecting at the time but decided to contact the company. Rather than ring a 0844 number I opted for the web address on the internet.

I followed all the directions, entering the tracking number etc and was given options of delivery dates for re-delivery. I chose the earliest date I would be available all day (16th).

Today at 1pm the item was delivered. A package from QVC which I wasn't expecting until the 23rd March.

Yes I was asked for proof of identity (strange considering it was my home address) but all I can say is that DX is in my experience a bona fide delivery company and not a [problem].

Please stop looking for conspiracy theories.:cool:

Morning

 

This lot appear to be the old SMS . . Secure Mail Service . . they deal with things like Credit Card/Ticket/Passport deliveries (among other things)

 

I have a regular courier that delivers here who I believe is from them, next chance I get I'll try to get confirmation

 

However knowing the dodgy practices used by DCA's I can understand the caution

 

R

 

As I thought . . the courier confirmed that DX/SMS are one and the same . . he deals with redirected CC's/Passports that could not be delivered to peoples home addresses due to them being at work

The courier delivers to my Building at least twice a week and has been doing so for over a year so his info is accurate and he has no reason to tell porkies :-)

I can confirm that DX Secure does exist as I work for them and have done for the past 6 years. Its is not that we try to hide anything we are driven by what information our customers allow us to give out, are calling cards are genuine and we offer a high value, secure service for various companys and we deliver to home addresses but if you are not it then there is not a lot we can do so the best way to re-arrange a delivery is through the web. We try our best to get the delivery to you but you are a difficult bunch to satifiy and we cant please everyone can as I say we are a geuniue company and not a fraund or [problem].

Well, we shall see - Had a postcard through the door at 8.30am this morning. Interestingly I am expecting 2 things - a parcel from QVC-see post#15 but also a threatend SD albeit a SB Account, but that has not stopped them before.

 

Being of a suspicious nature thanks to DCAs I did a search and interestingly this thread jumped out at me. Going to go through the website now to arrange a new delivery time. Will update later.

hear hear, i also have worked for them for 10yrs+. deliver up to 100 items a day, usually clear 95% plus. only occassionally leave the dreaded cards when client requires mandatory signature or consider it not secure. if i post an item and it goes missing it costs me 150quid! bit rough when only getting about 60p for delivering it! Not the best job in the world for not the best company in the world but generally delivering good things to people and nothing underhand or in conspiracy with the csa

In my experience this company is legit, in that it delivers for QVC. However, having said that I had cause for complaint as they never appear to 'want to bring their delivery to your attention!' and by that I mean, their first delivery attempt then card was very obtuse in that I never heard them and was in all day. I arranged 2 further delivery dates through the website (free within a 5 hour window) - on the first attempt a card through the door but definitely no knock or ring. The second 'attempt' never happened - it was Christmas Eve and I waited by the window and when no delivery had been made by 2pm I telephoned to be told 'a delivery was attempted at 10.19 am' Funny that as I sat by the window (my sister provided 'comfort breaks'!. Upon further investigation, no-one in my area got a delivery and it was later admitted that the driver took a half day off, telling all customers they were not in!!. So no delivery until after Christmas, I was up and about the next delivery day, and caught the card on the mat and a private car driving away. I managed to telephone and they contacted the driver to return, he was 4 miles away.!!

 

I sent in a formal complaint and just received the usual 'sorry, we will look into it' by post.

 

Since then I have had 2 deliveries from QVC via DX which have been successful. I now have a note I put on the front door if expecting a delivery via these people that they should knock loudly and ring the bell and then WAIT and give me time to answer the door!!

dont doubt you (some of my colleagues can be prats):sad: but i can honestly say the process to deliver is quicker than not delivering and leaving a card. do not know what he/she gains by not delivering. a 2nd call for redelivery invariably takes longer. id check etc. the 4 miles is interesting though, there may be the problem. imagine doing 4 miles between deliveries on 100 drops. its supposed to be multi drop but generally turning into occasional drop, average 1 mile + between drops. and paid per delivery not hourly. sooner your done the better. only way to make money is speed up and do more deliveries.:|
