    • ok your WS is wrong. Paragraph 16 and 17 says  you did not contract with evri but this is not true - see below  Furthermore to the eBay Powered By Packlink T&Cs that Evri is referring to, Clauses 3b and c of the T&Cs states:  (b)   Packlink is a package dispatch search engine that acts as an intermediary between its Users and Transport Agencies. Through the Website, Users can check the prices that different Transport Agencies offer for shipments and contract with the Transport Agency that best suits their needs on-line. (c)  Each User shall then enter into its own contract with the chosen Transport Agency. Packlink does not have any control over, and disclaims all liability that may arise in contracts between a User and a Transport Agency post 251 of occy thread - £844 lost    you should also add a paragraph on donough v Stevenson talking about the fact that even without contract there is still duty of care to goods and by failing to deliver this duty has been breached.   Make those changes and post it back up here and I'll check over things again

    • 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

 

Have got all my statements from Citi, spreadsheet done and will be posting Prelim today.

This is a closed account, no outstanding balance, no DCA, no defaults. just straightforward charges.

I realise Citi are the worst of the lot, whats their normal system?

Do they usually make an offer before filing N1 or not?

 

I just want to get an idea of how they operate so I go in with my eyes open and know what to expect from them.

 

Cheers

 

Wendy

And is it worth claiming debited interest on the charges or not? Whats their previous form on this? Don't want to go for CCI as it seems a bit of a minefield, but got DI recently with Crap One. Just haven't got the stomach for a long drawn out battle, got loads of other stuff on at the moment - I try to maintain a life outside of charges claims lol, and this is gonna be my last one so i just want to take the easiest option and get it over and done with asap. I know I'm wimping out!

 

I'd welcome thoughts please.

I personally am not bothering with DI, just the Statutory 8%.

 

If you read through this forum you will see how difficult Citi are, there are plenty of cases about though.

 

You WILL have to go to court though, they don't whimp out like Crap one do at the final furlong.

Thanks MK. To be honest that was what I was thinking, just wanted it confirming by someone. I'd had a read through and decided that for the relatively small amount of my charges its not worth the extra hassle.

 

Do they always turn up at Court? or might they cave in a couple of days before the hearing? I hope so!

Read through some of the cases that have been won.

 

You'll see that they have turned up in the past, not turned up for some hearings or, more recently, sent solictors (Eversheds LLP) on their behalf to represent them.

 

Either way, they're still basing their defence on the Potter case, and provided you follow the process through correctly, you should be ok.

 

They will try you patience by stretching time limits to the extreme, and you may find the court stays your claim on the basis of the OFT test case, but there are ways around this.

 

Saying all this though, i'm only a massive n00b, but the above comes from my new found knowledge of reading this forum!

Well my Prelim was received by them on 17th, absolutely no response, not even a bog off letter, so its nearly time for LBA, all printed off and ready to go by the end of the week.

Have been looking around and see that they try to get out of paying up by saying that the account was charged off due to non payment etc, however this is not the case with me. The account is closed(as far as I know). No balance owing and no default. What are their usual tactics in this situation? Am I likely to get an offer of the difference between £25 and £12 do you think?

They'll try and make it as long winded as possible, and are likely to offer you the difference to make themselves look more reasonable in the eyes of the court.

 

When you get the AQ contact me as will have additional stuff for you to submit with it.

 

Citi as a rule will always go to hearing, but enough of us have been through the process to prepare you well (they have lots of weak points) and let you know exactly what happens.... its not that daunting once you get going.

 

P.s. always check the wording of their letters if its anything to do with receiving a payment.

I actually got a reply last week dated 24th October. basically guff, saying that they aim to provide a full written update within 10 days. yeah right. I've been a bit lax on this, other things on the go, life and suchlike, but have now done my LBA and am about to post it.

 

by the way, the letter was from the Office of the Chief Exec and was signed by a Hedley Pringle. This has got to be a made up name, surely????? (No offence intended to any real Hedley pringles out there)

I never got anything after the LBA.

 

Let's send out N1's at the same time! Team work!

Have just phoned the Chief Execs office (on their conveniently freefone number). Strangeley enough no Hedley....but anyway, according to the girl I spoke to, they raised a cse on 24th Oct, they've ordered copies of my statements so they can check the figures, they will definitley refund the difference between £25 and £12, and the date it will be sorted by is 24th November. oh yeah, and they'll be sending me a cheque. How sweet is that. Yeah right I'll believe it when I see it.....

Watch the wording on the letter, it will most likely say that the cheque is in full and final settlement - they've done this crafty ploy beforehand.

 

If there is no such wording cash it, if it does have that wording then return it saying that you cannot accept it as full and final payment.

I always do.....

but to be honest I don't know if I can be bothered with yet another N1, spending out more money, time effort etc. There's not really very much involved here, so it might not be worth the effort on my behalf. I'll see how I feel when the time comes......

I'd personally be inclined to go all the way, lots of us here to help you - because every person that accepts a partial settlement is a win for them.

 

However at the end of the day the decision is obviously yours.

You can always accept the cheque as a partial repayment of what you are claiming (providing their letter doesn't say full and final settlement).

 

And then go to the FOS for the remainder, I have information which will be useful should you decide to go that route.

It'll materialise but just be aware of the wording, know a couple of people who have been caught out by it.... and a couple who spotted it, Citi's solicitors saying it was a mistake - yeh right.

Apparently the cheque has now been raised, but only for £13 per charge "because the law says we can charge £12" Oh dear, Citi really do make you laugh don't they. Lets see what their letter says when it gets here, then decide whether to go N1 or FOS. It should be here in 10 days, perhaps Santa's bringing it........

So even if their letter says Full and Final Settlement, can't Ii accept the cheque but write back to them saying thanks very much, but its not full and final and I'll be filing at court for the rest of it? Do I have to send it back? Or would cashing it be accepting their terms? Just don't know if I'll have enough willpower to send it back to them:D
