    • 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    
    • Hmm, that's strange how they got my email then.  I assume the below is ok to send to DCBL, Nicky?  Hello, I am writing regarding our ongoing dispute and the upcoming court claim reference xxxxxxxx.

    • 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.

Hi

My son worked in Dubai until losing his job in January this year.

Like many others here he left the country rapidly due to bounced security cheque leaving behind a debt ( years rental loan) of approx. £11k

 

His Dubai bank account had money left in it and direct debit continued to service loan until April

He hoped he would get a job back here in Uk and continue paying it off

 

Unfortunately soon after securing a job here he underwent life saving surgery and was on sick pay for 8 weeks His contract was terminated and obviously he could no longer afford payments during this time

 

CDW contacted him wanting full settlement of now £ 19k

 

We sent them income expenditure which showed a negative balance ( he has no assets) but they have now sent a statutory demand for full amount

 

If he files for bankruptcy ( I'm assuming as he has no assets they will not bankrupt him ) will the Dubai debt be included in the UK bankruptcy

 

I would appreciate any advice you can give.

Thankyou in anticipation

Nicky

( worried mum)

Yes the Dubai debt should be included. If your Son has no assets, then perhaps he should write back to CWD saying he would welcome them applying for his bankruptcy and for them to ensure the Dubai debt was properly dealt with in the bankuptcy.

 

I doubt CWD will be instructed by their Dubai clients to go ahead with bankruptcy, as it will cost them money, they would not get back.

 

If they don't make your Son bankrupt, it might be worth him looking into it. But he has to do this within 3 years of the Dubai debt being created, Limitations period in UEA is something like 20 years, meaning that if the debt is not cleared by bankruptcy if necessary, then the Dubai creditor has a very long time in which to try to enforce in a UK court.

 

There are companies out there who specialise in bankruptcy from abroad. If you search for that online, you will find one and they can provide helpful advice in this topic.

We could do with some help from you.

Thankyou Uncle Bulgaria . I think bankruptcy is sadly the best option both for the short and long term future

To have the possibility of this hanging over his head for possibly 20 years is an awful thought

We will contact CDW as you advise

I assume we just let the statutory demand run its course ?( we have been given 18 days to "set aside" )

The statutory demand is just a document CWD have issued and is not registered anywhere such as a court.

 

It gives them i believe 6 months to proceed with bankruptcy if they choose to do so.

 

So yes, your Son does not need to do anything, if he does not want to avoid bankruptcy, as it could relieve him of this debt.

 

The other issue which is odd,

is that creditors are now required to go for a CCJ first and only then if the CCJ is not paid,

other options including bankruptcy could then be followed up.

 

So makes me think they issued the SD to see if your Son would be panicked into borrowing money off familiy to pay the debt.

They can't issue an SD

Its fake ignore it. Out of jurisdiction

 

Neither can they issue a CCJ out of jurisdiction for UK courts

 

Its all to make you/him panic

 

You've sent I&e now ignore

 

Shame he paid whilst in the UK...

That's why they think they can mug him with a fake SD

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If the UAE contract does not restrict rights to only use UAE courts, then a claimant can issue UK court claims.

 

See one case precedent that is used https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maharanee_of_Baroda_v_Wildenstein

 

If the debtor is resident in the UK and the creditor is not restricted in bringing a UK court claim then they can do so.

Then it is open to argument.

 

Whether they can issue an SD and start bankruptcy proceedings without an unpaid CCJ would be subject to argument.

 

But of course the SD was issued to frighten the debtor.

 

If they have no money or assets, then the creditor would most likely lose money.

But that is their choice.

All good

You don't need a CCJ to be in place for them to issue an SD

 

It . the SD form can be downloaded by anyone and filled in and sent off to a supposed debtor

 

in early 2000's was the UK dcas favourite trick to frighten UK debtors into thinking the were being taken to court

 

The truth is the court has nowt to do or know about the SD until or if the fleecers send it to the court

Which they never do in 99\100 cases

The UAE contract does not limit rights just to the Emirates.

CDW sent us the contract which shows that

 

You're right DX re scaring people

 

The SD does initially look like they are taking it to court and even name the court

giving us 18 days to have it set aside.

 

as shown below

Part A Appropriate Court for Setting Aside Demand

Rule 10.4(4) of the Insolvency Rules 2016 states that the appropriate court is the court to which you would have to present your own bankruptcy petition in accordance with Rule 10.48 (1).

 

In accordance with those rules on present information the appropriate court is:

***** County and Family Court *** Street ****

 

Any application by you to set aside this demand should be made to that court.

CWD are not the original creditor so cannot bring an SD in their name

it must be the owner of the debt that files it or CWD must be operating on behalf of their client the owner.

Just a quick update.

Son responded to CWD

to say he would not be contesting any bankruptcy action.

 

Not surprisingly have heard nothing more from them since :)

 

Will let you know if anything changes

 

Thanks all again for support / advice :-)
