    • Oh I see! thats confusing, for some reason the terms and conditions that Evri posted in that threads witness statement are slightly different than the t&cs on packlinks website. Their one says enter into a contract with the transport agency, but the website one says enter into a contract with paclink. via website: (c) Each User will enter into a contract with Packlink for the delivery of its Goods through the chosen Transport Agency. via evri witness statement in that thread: (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 I read your post at #251, so I should use the second one (and changing the screenshot in the court bundle), since I am saying I have a contract with Evri? Is that correct EDIT: Oh I understand the rest of your conversation. you're saying if I was to do this i would have to fully adjust my ws to use the consumer rights act instead of rights of third parties. In that case should I just edit the terms and stick with the third parties plan?. And potentially if needed just bring up the CRA in the hearing, as you guys did in that thread  
    • First, those are the wrong terms,  read posts 240-250 of the thread ive linked to Second donough v stevenson should be more expanded. You should make refernece to the three fold duty of care test as well. Use below as guidance: The Defendant failed its duty of care to the Claimant. As found in Donoghue v Stevenson negligence is distinct and separate to any breach of contract. Furthermore, as held in the same case there need not be a contract between the Claimant and the Defendant for a duty to be established, which in the case of the Claimant on this occasion is the Defendant’s duty of care to the Claimant’s parcel whilst it is in their possession. By losing the Claimant’s parcel the Defendant has acted negligently and breached this duty of care. As such the Claimant avers that even if it is found that the Defendant not be liable in other ways, by means of breach of contract, should the court find there is no contract between Claimant and Defendant, the Claimant would still have rise to a claim on the grounds of the Defendant’s negligence and breach of duty of care to his parcel whilst it was in the Defendant’s possession, as there need not be a contract to give rise to a claim for breach of duty of care.  The court’s attention is further drawn to Caparo Industries plc v Dickman (1990), 2 AC 605 in which a three fold test was used to determine if a duty of care existed. The test required that: (i) Harm must be a reasonably foreseeable result of the defendant’s conduct; (ii) A relationship of proximity must exist and (iii) It must be fair, just and reasonable to impose liability.  
    • Thank you. here's the changes I made 1) removed indexed statement of truth 2) added donough v Stevenson in paragraph 40, just under the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 paragraph about reasonable care and skill. i'm assuming this is a good place for it? 3) reworded paragraph 16 (now paragraph 12), and moved the t&cs paragraphs below it then. unless I understood you wrong it seems to fit well. or did you want me to remove the t&cs paragraphs entirely? attached is the updated draft, and thanks again for the help.

    • 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,

 

before I post, can I just say how warming it is - that so many people are decent enough to share their experiences.

 

I was once in a debt I once thought was massive (around 7k) - but now all is good, however I have paid some people I maybe shouldn't have (if these forums are anything to go by!) and all has been ok for me for a while now.

 

My Girlfriend, however - has only just admitted (after being seriously scared by some of these DCA's) that she's in trouble - and in looking at her debts, the value's aren't massive - but the letters being sent, are pretty harrowing?!

 

I've looked across the forums, for a while actually too - and found out a great deal about how I should handle the DCA's, and in most cases I've managed to sort or at least appease the debtors.

 

There are two left, Bryan Carter and Horwich Farrelly - Bryan Carters have just issued a warrant number, claiming that bailiffs will be around to collect our possessions - (good luck to them, neither me nor the Mrs are famous for our reasonable tempers when put in intimidating positions by people demanding your sofa/Tv etc) However, when I sent the CCA letter to them in reference of the debt - they sent me back a statement?! - nothing like a credit agreement, nothing even close! and this Warrant letter is the first thing I've received from them since... can anyone advise me whats my best course of action from here?!

 

Also, the Horwich Farrelly is a Gas bill - from Shared accomodation when she was at Uni - they're actually requesting that my Girlfriend pay the outstanding, as well as part of a bill for the period after which she moved out... only issue is, they're sending it to a different address (her parents), and when she queried the amount she owed (using the CCA letter, as I couldn't find one more appropriate) - they replied telling me that this debt doesn't fall under the laws within which a CCA letter applies? - what do I do next? I suppose I just have to pay it don't I?

 

As for Bryan Carters, I called them on her behalf (before looking on here).... to attempt to sort payments and rather than just being told politely that she needs to call, I got a fair bit of abuse - I even had someone give me the old 'How dare you attempt to call on her behalf, don't you know that you're breaking the law?' - I couldn't help but giggle, which seemed to just inflame the situation.

 

Now, I honestly feel stuck...

 

I'm half tempted to just set up payments - to get these people of my Girlfriends back, no matter how much I tell her its ok, and that they do this to everyone - she still seems to spend most of her life worrying about every penny she gets.

 

Can anyone help me? Please?!

With regard to Bryan Carter .... have you read this?

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-collectors-debt-collection/88566-bryan-carter-ceased-company.html?highlight=Bryan+Carter+....+ceased+trading+as+a+company

 

Makes for interesting reading regarding this company.

 

Secondly, do they have a CCJ against your girlfriend because if not they're talking hot air and empty threats regarding the use of bailiffs. The only time bailiffs can attend is if there is a court order in place and the order has been breached.

 

I'd also look in here

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general-debt/55579-oft-guidelines-debt-collection.html

 

you may find that they are breaching several of the guidelines.

 

Can't help with the gas bill part I'm afraid but I'm sure someone with knowledge of steps you can take will be along shortly.

They cant collect for time after your GF moved out of the property. This has to be down to the other tenants.

Well, I've read through that Forum (Bryan Carter-Ceased as a Company), phew.... a bit of reading done there, not all that laborious due to the spirit within which the guys posting, have posted!

 

So, now.... I'm still a teeny bit confused as to what to do next.......

 

Do I resend the CCA? an SAR or do I goto the SOS or Trading Standards? - what?! (sorry, I just can't quite relate whats happening to my Girlfriend, to any of the issues these guys are resolving).

 

Basically, the letter states it has been passed to a bailiff, to come and pinch all her (my) stuff!!

 

It looks like the guys on the forums, may already have nipped them in the bid prior to this....

Help!!

 

Another letter came this morning, Warrant order - with a bailiff's contact details?

 

They haven't sent the requested CCA - but she already has a CCJ against her (if Bryan Carters letters are anything to go by).

 

Any Ideas? - I can't see anything on the forums that relates directly to the problem my Girlfriend has, can anyone help!

This "bailiff" letter should have some court contact information on it, certainly the warrant will have.

Time to get ALL the information from the court and try and get this set aside.

 

Removal of CCJ's - Valid reasons to have your judgements set aside

 

This could very well be another scare tactic, but better to be sure.

Can you scan the warrant and post it here, after removing personal info.

Best to host on photobucket or similar.

Be VERY careful whose advice you listen too

Well, that link is pretty interesting! - Cheers Ben!

 

My GF has been living with me for starters, and the letters going to her parents!

 

Also, her mother opened the letter - and paid the £70 odd they'd requested via a judgement just before Christmas - does that affect our position when fighting these guys about this debt?

 

Plus, I really don't understand how they've managed to push it as far as they have when they didn't produce a valid CCA!?

 

I'm so bemused, I did this once when I was about 19 - but didn't have any of you guys around to help, now its easier than it was - but jeez, they still make it tough don't they!

 

Should I contact the SoS (with the letter on headed paper) and Trading Standards still??

 

Cheers Guys.
