    • Your page numbers should run through your WX and exhibits so im concerned its page x of 9.
    • Paragraph 18 – you are still talking about Boston stolen items. About time this was fixed??? Paragraph 19  In any event, the claimant's PS5 gaming device was correctly declared and correctly valued. The defendant accepted it for carriage and was even prepared to earn extra money by selling sell insurance in case of its loss or damage. New paragraph 20 – this the defendant routinely sells insurance in respect of "no compensation" items (a secondary contract contrary to section 72 CRA 2015) new paragraph above paragraph 20 – the defendant purports to limit its liability in respect of lost or damaged items. This is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights act 2015. The defendant offers to extend their liability if their customer purchases an insurance cover for an extra sum of money. This insurance is a secondary contract calculated to exclude or limit their liability for the defendants contractual breaches and is contrary to section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015. New paragraph below paragraph 42 – the defendant merely relies on "standard industry practice" You haven't pointed to the place in your bundle of the Telegraph newspaper extract. You have to jiggle the paragraphs around. Even though I have suggested new paragraph numbers, the order I have suggested is on your existing version 5. You will have to work it out for your next version. Good luck!   Let's see version 6 Separately, would you be kind enough to send me an unredacted to me at our admin email address.

    • Yep, those 'requirements' not met to shareholders satisfaction seem to me to be: 1.

    • 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.

If you have the number of an arbitrary postal order, can anyone quote the number to Royal Mail to see if it's been cashed? Or is this privilege limited to the person requesting it (with the receipt) or the person to whom it has been sent?

 

I'm not trying to track an order myself, but am curious.

I've been able to check encashment at the issuing PO by showing them the receipt (There are no counterfoils anymore). I was told it hasn't been casged, and was offered a form to cliam a refund. I don;t know if this can be done online, as I've seen no reference to it.

... and what if you don't have the receipt? What if you just happen to have the number? Can a third party with the PO number (e.g. it's gone missing in the post and they have the number) check up on it?

Don't see why they would benefit from checking when they have the postal order anyway? You can issue crossed postal orders in the same way you do cheques so they have to be paid into the bank account of the recipient, if you're going to send one, this would be the way to do it.

There are many ways in which someone might have the number of a PO without having the PO itself.

Still can't see the benefit, without the PO is the number not worthless?, I suppose you could cancel it with the number or you could check whether it had been cashed but I still don't see how you would benefit from either action? There is a warning on the post office site:

 

WARNING: Please note that there are currently some Postal Orders scams being perpetrated - particularly on online auction sites. Please note that under no circumstances would Royal Mail or the Post Office™ issue an email notification of receipt of a Postal Order to a potential recipient. Should you receive such a notification, please report it to the police.

 

I suppose this could be used to get a number out of you and then be used to report it lost?

There are many uses for the information. You can prove if money was or was not received. Trivial example - someone sends me a PO through the post, gives me the number via another method. Said person then goes on holiday for 2 weeks. If I had the number of their PO, without any evidence that they had sent it, or that I was the recipient, could I walk into a Post Office and find out if it has been cashed (e.g. intercepted, delivered to the wrong place)? This is not the actual situation, btw.

OK did the simple thing and rang the PO, you can check with just the number but you need to do so in writing, either by filling in a claim form for lost mail or writing to the lost mail department, you do not need a recepit to do this but I am guessing you would need to know where the PO was bought or where it had been sent, if it had gone through the post.

Hello all, I emailed Royal Mail, and this is the reply they sent. (may be of some use)

 

"To trace if a Postal Order has been cashed you would need to complete a

P58 form available from any Post Office® branch. When you’ve completed the

form hand this in at the Post Office® and this will be forwarded to Royal

Mail to investigate.

 

Alternatively you can send the P58 form and the receipt for the postal

orders to:

Postal Order Group

PO Box 168

Chesterfield

S49 1ZL

 

It is recommended that you keep a copy of the receipt for your own records."
