    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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

 

Having a complete nightmare with this company

I sold a TV on eBay about 3 weeks ago paid 16 pound delivery fee for next day delivery

 

Packaged the parcel up on the Sunday ready for the collection Monday

they failed to collect the parcel

kept getting texts delivery driver will collect between the times stated

no sign of him

 

He decided to strut up my drive way on the Thursday to collect it

told him your only 4 days late

didn't seem to give a toss.

 

off he went and threw the parcel in his van and drove off

 

next day get a message on eBay buyer has started a return request

turns out the TV arrived smashed and the box was crushed,

 

VI paid another 16 pound to have it returned and I'm now 200 pound out of pocket plus 32 pound for the postage charges and they had the cheek to refund me £1.64 for the 4 day late collectionV

 

I have sent all my pictures and evidence to their claim department and filled out their form for damages over 10 days ago and not a single email off them. Emailed them last week for an update not a single reply

 

Anything else I can do because I'm losing my patience

 

Anyone else had any dealing with these people

Not heard of these people before – but frankly you should simply send them a lba giving them 14 days and then you will sue. Don't bluff. If you're not prepared to follow through with your threat at the moment that the deadline expires then don't bother.

 

It is extremely easy to bring a small claim, cheap, you will get your costs back so long as you win and if you lose your and have to pay the other side's costs. On the basis of what you say, the chances of you winning are better than 95%. Your claim would comprise all the delivery fees, the value of the TV, any eBay fees, PayPal fees – et cetera so that you are absolutely not out of pocket.

 

Lots of information on this forum about bringing a small claim. Send the letter first class recorded delivery tomorrow morning. Spend the rest of the time getting to know how to use money claim online and drafting your claim form.

 

Claim form would probably be:

 

the claimant contracted with the defendant delivery company to deliver a television set to an eBay customer – reference number XXXX (courier reference number)

 

The parcel was delivered to the purchaser in a badly damaged state and is unusable. The claimant was obliged to refund the purchaser. The damage was caused by the defendant company or their agent.

 

The claimant claims £XXX – do all the calculations and list it.

 

Plus interest 8% plus costs

  • 3 weeks later...

today i received a letter from ipost parcels/DHL

 

copy of the letter

 

https://imgur.com/a/7Dizxvi

 

They are refusing to settle the damage claim and they seem to think a picture i sent them as part of the claim shows insufficient packaging

 

im sorry but by looking at a slight tear in the box how do you decide if a parcel has not enough packaging in it

 

they are using any excuse to not pay out for the damage they have caused and claim they cant accept liability for items damaged in transit, the way the item was returned back to me is more than a dropped item

 

the screen is cracked and the side of the tv is dented like it has been trapped in a door, thrown around a warehouse or stood on the box was crushed and an absolute state when it arrived back to me and wasnt not sent in this way.

 

What are my next steps now any help appreciated

 

Many Thanks

Hi

I have just read on their site about breakable items and they state that televisions over 37" would not be covered. I can't see why that should be an issue. TVs under 37" are just as able to be broken by poor handling.

 

 

Did the recipient send pictures of the delivered item?

 

 

 

Did you give them 14 days to rectify (Letter Before Action). If so then it really means that your next step is the route mentioned by Bankfodder.

 

 

You will need to find out the actual name of the company (DHL trading as Ipostparcels or similar)

 

 

It may be at the bottom of any letters received but looking on the Companies House website shows masses of them.
