    • Better version attached with the late appeal explained more clearly for the judge. This will sound silly, but I think it would be a good idea to e-mail it to the court and UKPC on Sunday.  It's probably me being daft, but Sunday is still March, and as it's late, sending it in March rather than April will make it sound like it was less late than it really is.  if you get my drift. You can still pop in a paper version on Tuesday if you want. E-mail address for the court: [email protected] And for UKPC: [email protected]   [email protected] Defendant WS.pdf
    • Update 15th March the eviction notice period expired, and I paid my next month rent along with sending them the message discussed above. After a short while they just emailed me back this dry phrase "Thank you for your email." In two weeks' time I'm gonna need to pay the rent again, and I have such a feeling that shortly after that date the contracts will be exchanged and all the payments will be made.  Now my main concern is, if possible, not to end up paying rent after I move out.  
    • they cant 'take away' anything, what ever makes you believe that?  dx  
    • The text on the N1SDT Claim Form 1.The claim is for breaching the terms and conditions set on private land. 2. The defendant's vehicle, NumberPlate, was identified in the Leeds Bradford Airport Roadways on the 28/07/2023 in breach of the advertised terms and conditions; namely Stopping in a zone where stopping is prohibited 3.At all material times the Defendant was the registered keeper and/or driver. 4. The terms and conditions upon  entering private land were clearly displayed at the entrance and in prominent locations 5. The sign was the offer and the act of entering private land was the acceptance of the offer hereby entering into a contract by conduct. 6.The signs specifically detail the terms and conditions and the consequences of failure to comply,  namely a parking charge notice will be issued, and the Defendant has failed to settle the outstanding liability. 7.The claimant seeks the recovery of the parking charge notice, contractual costs and interest.   This is what I am thinking of for the wording of my defence The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and are generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4. 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. 1. Paragraph 1 is denied. It is denied that the Defendant ever entered into a contract to breach any terms and conditions of the stated private land. 2. Paragraph 2 and 4 are denied. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was only contracted to provide car park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. 3. It is admitted that Defendant is the recorded keeper of the vehicle. 4.  Paragraph 6 is denied the claimant has yet to evidence that their contract with the landowner supersedes  Leeds Bradford airport byelaws. Further it is denied that the Claimant’s signage is capable of creating a legally binding contract. 5. Paragraph 7 is denied, there are no contractual costs and interest cannot be accrued on a speculative charge.   I'm not sure whether point 4 is correct as I think this side road is not covered by byelaws? Any other suggestions/corrections would be appreciated.
    • Dear EVRi parcelnet LTD t/a evri   evri parcelnet isnt a thing also you say defendant's response which is a bit of a weird format.   Something like   Dear EVRi, Claim no xxxx In your defence you said you could not access tracking. Please see attached receipt and label Regards

    • 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 evening,

 

I am not sure if this is the right place to be asking for advice about this but I thought I would post a thread.

 

I recently ordered a sofa set,

I paid them via online banking,

the first payment was the deposit and the second payment was the remaining money due,

they are clearly not what I ordered.

 

The sofas were delivered today and it was all a farce,

as I live in a flat I had to pay an extra £20 for them to carry them up to my first floor flat which I already did,

I had to argue with them for sometime before they rang up the company to get it confirmed.

 

They pretty much took all the packaging off before bringing them up and then just dumped them in my tiny hall way when they should have brought them in to my living room first and then unpacked them.

 

Now, heres the issue,

when one of the couriers brought the cushions up I thought they were the right ones

but after taking the last of the packaging off from the smallest sofa

it turns out the sofa does not match the picture on their website, the colors do not match etc.

(See images attached).

 

I have spoken to the manager over the phone and over email and he insists the correct sofas have been delivered and that I shouldn't have signed the delivery receipt if something was wrong and that he's willing to accept a return at my cost of £89

 

I shouldn't have to pay £89 if the sofas are not what I purchased,

no where on their website does it say if you want to return them, it will cost £89.

 

On the receipt it says the couriers should have unboxed them in my living room not outside,

it also states no price in the box where it says how much it would cost if the items needed returning.

It's states nothing on their website regarding returns as well.

 

Where do I stand legally with this as a consumer?

 

(I can't add pictures)

Take a look through sections 20-24 of the consumer rights act 2015.

 

All you need to know should be in there. Anything you are unsure about, pop back to check.

 

Personally i wouldnt expect to pay a return charge for incorrect items delivered

You have a short term right to reject if the items are not as described and have a look at para 8 re: returns charges

I can attach documents yet but I have copied and pasted it below, I thought I said all the right things, whoops.

 

Letter;

 

(My address)

 

 

 

UKSOFAS

Mr Jamil Hussain

41 Litchfield Road

Birmingham

B6 5RW

 

18th March 2017 Receipt # 0140

 

Dear Mr Hussain,

 

Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, I have legally rejected the goods delivered on the 17th March 2017 which are the ‘Lucy 3 + 2’ Sofas Set as they do not match what I ordered. I can legally do this even if you think the correct sofas have been sent, please see below;

 

Under paragraph 8 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015;

 

(8) Whether or not the consumer has a duty to return the rejected goods, the trader must bear any reasonable costs of returning them, other than any costs incurred by the consumer in returning the goods in person to the place where the consumer took physical possession of them.

 

Please arrange collection of the sofas as soon as possible.

 

This letter has been sent to reserve my legal position.

 

I look forward to hearing from you,

 

Yours Sincerely,

 

Mr Kian O’Tierney

I would have also included the s22 short term right to reject within 30 days after delivery if the items are not as described or expected.

 

But not to worry, its sent so hopefully they will see sense and do the right thing.

If youve already sent the letter then save the additional info for later if you need it, sending an updated one now will look like you dont know what you are doing.

I would be contacting your bank to see if you can reverse the payment.

 

for want of note to other readers of this thread

never ever pay by bank transfer.

 

it severally limits your consumer rights and the retailer will know this

which Is why they asked for payment that way.

 

use a debit card number to pay, or the very best way is use a credit card.

A standard timescale for a response would be within 14 days, some may say 7 days, allow at least this before sending a letter before action.

Before doing so tho, come back and have your draft LBA checked over.

The only difference i can see is the rear cushions arent as in the pic, could you maybe ask them to change the cushions instead of rejection, i mean as an alternative resolution.
