    • I've looked through all our old NPE threads, and as far as we know they have never had the bottle to do court. There are no guarantees of course, but when it comes to put or shut up they definitely tend towards shut up. How about something like -   Dear Jonathan and Julie, Re: PCN no.XXXXX cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea that you actually expected me to take this tripe seriously and cough up. I'll write to you not some uninterested third party, thanks all the same, because you have are the ones trying to threaten me about this non-existent "debt". Go and look up Jopson v Homeguard Services Ltd, saddos.  Oh, while you're at it, go and look up your Subject Access Request obligations - we all know how you ballsed that up way back in January to March. Dear, dear, dear - you couldn't resist adding your £70 Unicorn Food Tax, you greedy gets.  Judges don't like these made-up charges, do they? You can either drop this foolishness now or get a hell of a hammering in court.  Both are fine with me.  Summer is coming up and I would love a holiday at your expense after claiming an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to your deafening silence.   That should show them you're not afraid of them and draw their attention to their having legal problems of their own with the SAR.  If they have any sense they'll crawl back under their stone and leave you in peace.  Over the next couple of days invest in a 2nd class stamp (all they are worth) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above
    • In anticipation of lodging my court claim next Weds 1 May (14 days after advising P2G that was my deadline for them to settle my claim) I have completed my first draft POC as below: Claim Claim number: xxxxx Reference: P2G MAY 2024   Claimant xxxxx   Defendant Parcel2Go 1A Parklands Lostock Bolton BL6 4SD  Particulars of Claim The defendant has failed to arrange for the safe delivery of the claimant's parcel containing a 8 secondhand golf clubs (valued at £265) that was sent to a UK address using their delivery service (P2G Reference xxxxx). The defendant contracted Evri to deliver the parcel (Evri Reference xxxxx) and refuses to reimburse the claimant on the grounds that the claimant did not purchase their secondary insurance contract. The defendant seeks to exclude their liability in breach of section 57 Consumer Rights Act. The secondary insurance contract is in breach of section 72. The claimant seeks reimbursement of £265, plus P2G fees of £9.10, plus postage costs for two first class letters to P2G of £2.70, plus court fees, plus interest. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from xxxxx to xxxxxx on £276.80 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £xxxx   Details of claim Amount claimed £276.80 I look forward to your thoughts and comments guys! As ever, many thanks - G59

    • 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.

I'm slowly working through all the myriad of problems that are stored up and trying to get myself back on my feet.

 

Last year I was on JSA. It was stopped as I failed to apply for a job. I wrote back to say that the job had been totally unsuitable and that I did not have the required qualifications. I have been fighting with the JC since then about this but they lie, refuse to answer questions or deliberately misunderstand. I am now at the stage of taking it to the independant claims assessor.

 

However, the stopping of JSA triggered my HB to stop. Also fighting the council about this.

 

Can anyone tell me whether the council are right to stop HB when JSA is stopped, as my award of HB was income based and my JSA suspension didn't increase my income, it stopped it.

 

For information I am close to the tribunal stage with the local council.

 

Lastly, has anyone noticed that the lower you slip down the financial scale the more organisations rely on maladministration to try and make you go away? Sometimes I think I'm going insane because it is by far the biggest problem in my life yet almost nothing appears about it in the papers.

 

So to clarify, I really need to know about whether the council were right to stop my HB because JSA was stopped.

Hi I am not talking law with this just experience I was getting incapacity benefit and due to IB sending a form to wrong address so that I was unable to reply my IB was stopped. They informed HB that I was no longer in receipt of IB, HB then assumed that I was working so stopped HB. I found out about this set of circumstances after talking to someone in HB I would assume that the same practise would occur with JSA and HB. I had a struggle to get IB reinstated, but HB just said that as long as I paid same amount of rent etc as when in receipt of IB they would back date HB when IB was reinstated. It was approx 6 weeks before all was sorted.

 

The council can stop your HB due to there being notified of a change in your circumstances by JSA

 

all the best dpick:)

Jobcentre Plus gives what benefits can be claimed while seeking employment, are you now claiming income support now your JSA has been stopped, it pays the same amount of benefit but is payable to persons of no income, reading you thread your JSA was stopped due to you not attending a interview over a year ago , this benefit is payable to persons actively seeking employment,( you failed to seek employment by not attending the interview ) if you can proof you are seeking employment re-apply for the benefit, otherwise if not doing so by now, claim income support....see the website for what benefits can be claimed in your postion...

HB is not dependant on JSA, but if you are getting income based JSA it does guarantee you full HB. This might be why they stopped it — your income is still low enough to get full HB but it is no longer guaranteed by way of the JSA, so you will have to prove your income separately.

 

Have you tried the CAB?

Post by me are intended as a discussion of the issues involved, as these are of general interest to me and others on the forum. Although it is hoped such discussion will be of use to readers, before exposing yourself to risk of loss you should not rely on any principles discussed without confirming the situation with a qualified person.

When the JSA dept stopped ur payments/benefit, it automacally informs the HB depts, hence this benefit stops also, untill you prove to them ur new form of income, you would have received a letter from the HB dept, informing you of the intended stoppage of benefit, giving you the time to hind to there request of proof of income/benefit. if ur claim from JSA goes to income support ur HB will re-start and will be paid from the date of the JSA stopping. hence no loss of HB just a pause.

  • 5 weeks later...

I work 40 hours a week and get about £180 after tax. My rent is £85-£90 a week. My partner was on jsa as jobs are really hard to get round our area. However now he has moved in with me they have stopped his JSA. He has NO other income. Now i am having to pay for rent and for my self and for him. I personally think it is wrong for the JC to just assume i'll pay for him. I have my own stuff to pay for i.e debts ect.

Are they allowed to let 2 people like that?

It depends if he was on income based on contributions based JSA - If on income based then I'm afraid your income will be taken into account now you are living together. It might be worth applying for housing and council tax benefit and maybe working tax credit - i'm not sure of the income requirements but you have nothing to loose by trying.

Poppynurse :)

aye. well he says he was on contribution based but they stopped it anyway. I tried working tax credit but I'd have to be either; over 25 workin over 30 hours a week; Have kids; Or be working under 16 hours a week.

I definately dont have kids. I cant afford to work only 16hours a week and im only 21. so thats out the window. I pay alot of tax from my wages per week for people that could even just be conning the system, drunks, and drug addicts. u'd think i could get some kind of benefit. we have applied for housing benefit just over 2months ago. weve had one correspondence from them since asking for another copy of one of my payslips. HB will back date any money from the date we applied until the date it starts wont they?

Thanx We handed all the stuff in on a tuesday but put reason for why we couldnt get down the day before. do they just give to you as a lump payment into your a.c or do they send a cheque. Our housing benefit will be paid directly to our estata agents. Not our choice but thats the way it is.lol :grin:

I have been fighting with the JC since then about this but they lie, refuse to answer questions or deliberately misunderstand. I am now at the stage of taking it to the independant claims assessor. If you did not have the rite qulifications then they sould not have been making u apply for the job in the first place. My Local does not with my brother. Also if they say u need to be experianced and you have never done the job b4 you should not be made to apply for the job.

 

However, the stopping of JSA triggered my HB to stop. Also fighting the council about this.

 

Can anyone tell me whether the council are right to stop HB when JSA is stopped, as my award of HB was income based and my JSA suspension didn't increase my income, it stopped it.

Yes i have and i am currently fighting this my self for my partner.

 

So to clarify, I really need to know about whether the council were right to stop my HB because JSA was stopped.

 

Yes they can stop th hb but you can appeal as the suitation made your income worse as you had no money

Most HB forms you can nominate where the money goes. Some landlords/agents wont take the benefit so you can have it paid to you. You can also nominate to have it paid to you if the landlord gets funny about only being paid monthly and he wants it weekly or something.
