    • 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. To ensure fairness and transparency in our communications leading up to the court hearing, I request that you use postal mail exclusively for all further correspondence related to this claim. Please refrain from sending any communication or documents via email. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions or need clarification, please feel free to contact me via postal mail at the address provided above. Yours sincerely, xxxx
    • In the SAR, I received the original application, lots of computer print outs, yearly statements from 2013 and the new emails regarding my complaint. They sent me a £50 cheque after I chased them for the SAR after the 30 days. They said they was waiting for me to respond to an email (which I never received) before sending the SAR
    • classic P2G. I'm sure dianne and Lesley will pop an email to you at some point.

    • 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 received an email from Harlands saying that my DD payment bounced because I had insufficient funds.

However, I clearly had enough funds in my bank account because I had consciously transferred the required funds into the account three days before the payment was due and I had not used the account since the transfer (my bank statement can verify this).

 

When I called Harlands, they informed me my sort code was incorrect, that this was my fault and therefore the administration fee cannot be waived.

 

Firstly, there was no avenue for me to check my sort code or details provided to JD Gyms (the gym membership I had signed up for) on their members page. Secondly, I had received an email from JD Gyms when I signed up that contained this statement:

'You have chosen to pay by monthly Direct Debit and we can confirm that the Direct Debit details provided by you are correct.'

 

I do not want to pay this administration fee of £15.

I believe it is unlawful to penalise a consumer this way when I had no notice of the alleged misinformation.

I do want to continue my membership at the gym.

 

For reference purposes, this is the relevant part of the email I received from Harlands:

 

Harlands administer the collection of all payments due under your agreement with JD Sports Gym. Your bank have advised us that your May instalment has been returned unpaid "refer to payer" as there were insufficient funds in the account to pay the amount due.

 

We will therefore debit your account on 29 MAY 18 for the total amount of £34.99 made up as follows:

 

Instalment Amount £19.99

Administration Fee £15.00

Total Due £34.99

 

Please advise. I sincerely appreciate any views on this. I feel terribly wronged.

Hi Brcr and welcome to CAG

 

You now have your own new thread for your case to use from now on

 

Cancel the DD mandate immediately or Harlands will continue to try and use it to collect the m/ship fee AND their increasing admin fees. Do this now via your bank - you need not give the bank any reasons.

 

Don't worry about doing this = Harlands/CRS will do nothing as they are powerless chancers trying to bump up their fees whenever they can.

 

Let us know when the DD mandate has been cancelled.

 

Also, let us know if you WANT to continue with the m/ship at JD Gym or whether you're happier to get away from Harlands greedy ways. Either way, we can help you ditch the m/ship, or try to get it reinstated on YOUR terms via JD Gyms by contacting them.

 

:-)

We could do with some help from you

Thanks for your detailed reply! It sure is reassuring.

 

As an update, I did email JD Gyms and Harland to notify them that I did receive an email upon signing up with JD gyms that said that my direct debit details are correct.

 

As for now, I am contacting my bank to check about the direct debit set up and to cancel it (using Monzo bank - hopefully it won't be too much of a hassle).

Yes, go online and cancel the DD mandate.

 

Let us know when this is done and we'll move on.

 

Make no contact with the Harlands or the gym.
