    • I left a trustpilot review and P2g have emailed me with the obligatory apology and have refunded the postage costs and are will to give £10 extra pre pay as a good will gesture. However,  as i wrote this the Buyer has just txt.me.to say they have received the parcel !  So obviously im now going.to suggest that she pays via Paypal ... I rang her this morning to see if it had arrived but she said she was on holiday and there was someone in her house she would have to contact to see if it had arrived which she obviously has ... So now i know its been delivered i cant go for P2g But i Can accept the exta £10 ...
    • The defendant in this case is Parcel2Go.com Limited The claimant sent a parcel using Parcel2Go Ltd as a broker and Evri as the shipper via the Defendant's service containing which contained two handmade bespoke wedding trays to a customer with  under  tracking number P2Gxxxxxxxx. The parcel was never delivered although the defendant stated that three attempts had been made to deliver the parcel.  The claimants customer waited in for four days to receive the delivery but no delivery was attempted. There was no communication with the claimants customer.  Despite many web chats and emails the parcel was not delivered and on the Parcel2Go website it stated that the customer had refused delivery. This was not true as no delivery had been attempted.  I was The Defendant informed me that the parcel was being returned to me but after waiting three weeks I was informed by the courier that the parcel was lost. I was offered compensation of £20 + shipping fee which I refused and after sending Parcel2Go a Letter of claim this was increased to £75 which I also refused. The Claimant did not purchase the Defendant's insurance policy as requiring people to pay extra for rights already guaranteed under the consumer rights act 2015 is contrary to section 57 and 72 and therefore unenforceable. The Claimant rejected the Defendant's standard compensation offer. It is clear that the defendant is responsible for the loss of the parcel as they did not act with reasonable care and skill when handling the claimants parcel, contrary to section 49 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015.   By failing to ensure the safe delivery of the Claimant's parcel the Defendant breached section 49 of the CRA 2015.   AND THE CLAIMANT CLAIMS £370.00 being the value of the lost goods £xx.xx being the price of shipping and interest pursuant to s69 cca 1984.   See what BF thinks but I think something like this is better. Remember you are suing P2G not evri.
    • I disagree with the charge and also the statements sent. Firstly I have not received any correspondence from DVLA especially a statutory notice dated 2/5/2024 or a notice 16/5/2024 voiding my licence if I had I would have responded within this timeframe. The only letter received was the single justice procedure notice dated the 29.5.2024 this was received on 4.6.2024. I also disagree with the statement that tax was dishonoured through invalid indemnity claim. I disagree that the licence be voided I purchased the vehicle in Jan 2024 from RDA car sales Pontefract with agreement to collect the car on the 28.1.2024. The garage taxed the vehicle on the 25.1.24 for eleven payments on direct debit  using my debit card on my behalf. £62.18 was the initial payment on 8.2.24  and £31 per month thereafter the second payment was 1.3.24.This would run from Jan 24 to Dec 24 and a total of £372.75, therefore the car was clearly taxed before  I took the car away After checking one of my vehicle apps  I could see the vehicle was showing as untaxed it later transpired that DVLA had cancelled my tax , without reason and I did not receive any correspondence from DVLA to state why it was cancelled or when. The original payment of £62.18 had gone through and verified by my bank Lloyds so this payment was not declined. I then set up the direct debit again straight away at my local post office branch on 15.2.2024 the first payment was £31 on 1.3.2024 and subsequent payments up to Feb 2025 with a total of £372.75 which was the same total as the original DD that was set up in Jan, Therefore I claimed the £62.18 back from my bank as an indemnity claim as this payment was from the original cancelled tax from DVLA and had been cancelled . I have checked my bank account at Lloyds and every payment since Jan 24  up to date has been taken with none rejected as follows: 8.2.24 - £62.15 1.3.24 - £31.09 2.4.24 - £31.06 1.5.24 - £31.06 3.6.23-£31.06 I have paper copies of the original DD set up conformation plus a breakdown of payments per month , and a paper copy of the second DD setup with breakdown of payments plus a receipt from the post office.I can also provide bank statements showing each payment to DVLA I also ask that my licence be reinstated due to the above  
    • You know hes had it when they call out those willing to say anything even claiming tories have reduced taxes on live tv AS Salmonella says: The Conservative Party must embrace Nigel Farage to “unite the right”, Suella Braverman has urged, following a disastrous few days for Rishi Sunak. The former home secretary told The Times there was “not much difference” between the new Reform UK leader’s policies and those of the Tories, as senior Conservatives start debating the future of the party. hers.   AND Goves replacement gets caught booking in an airbnb to claim he lives locally .. as of yesterday you can rent it yourself in late July - as he'll either be gone or claiming taxpayer funded expenses for a house Alongside pictures of himself entering a house, Mr McGuinness said Surrey Heath residents “rightly expect their MP to be a part of their community”. - So whens farage getting around to renting (and subletting) a clacton beach hut?   Gove’s replacement caught out on constituency house claim as home found on Airbnb WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK Social media users quickly pointed out house Ed McGuinness had posted photos in was available to rent     As Douglas Ross says he'll stand down in scotland - if he wins a Westminster seat - such devotion.
    • I've completed a draft copy to defend and will post up here for review.  Looking over the dates and payments this all stemmed from DVLA cancelling in Feb , whereby I set up a new DD in Feb hence the overlap, why they cancelled when I paid originally in Jan I have no idea. Anyway now stuck with pending court action and a suspended licence . I am also firing off a letter to DVLa recorded disputing the licence revoke

    • 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 Groovy Lizard

 

Firstly, the company that charged you £37 hustled you I'm affraid.

 

Secondly, if you need a decent solicitor it will cost you at least 5 times that an hour.

 

Thirdly, you don't need a decent solicitor or in fact any solicitor - all you have got is an unenforceable invoice from a private parking company. It is a [problem]. All you have to do is ignore them. Court cases are very very very rare and usually end up in a loss for the private parking company when a decent defence is produced.

 

Finally, the golden rule of PPC bashing is never correspond with them. You have done so already but do not anymore. Also, don't get your hopes up about court, there is more chance you will win the lottery before they take you to court.

 

Best Regards,

 

TFT

 

Thanks TFT, much appreciated. Although Law Answers hustled me i think I probably got my £37 worth in fairness :) they gave me enough confidence to stick it out and so I guess they really saved me £43 overall. Will add to forum again if I receive any further nonsense from VCS but will take your advice and will not contact them again. Cheers.

Hi - Im new to the site and would appreciate a bit of advice as Ive just been ticketed by these guys for the outrageous sum of £80 ... only the car in question was my company car which I was not the driver of at the time

All advice seems to be "just ignore" but unless I contact them then all letters threats etc will be sent to my employer. What would you advise?

 

I know the people in accounts very well and am unlikely to get into any trouble over threatening letters turning up so not too worried on that score - they'll just pass the letters straight to me unanswered. I also know that under Data Protection legislation my employer cant pass over my details - but its possible they may inadvertently give out my name and / or transfer any calls etc.

 

How do you recommend I proceed? Write giving them my home address or wait for the letters to arrive at work?

 

All advice gratefully received

Are you sure the company is the RK of the vehicle and not just leasing them? If they are on lease then the PPC letters will go to the lease company who have a nasty habit of paying them then charging it through to you (with a 25 quid "admin" charge for their trouble!)

 

If the cars are owned by your company and they are the RK on the V5, then just make absolutely sure they will not pay the charge blindly then charge you. You are probably contractually obliged with your employer to pay PCNs and FPNs, but make sure they understand (in writing if necessary) that these are no more than invoices for an alleged contract which you dispute.

 

If your company are happy just to pass the PPC mail to you then you are better not to have any contact with them at all.

Wow - thanks for such a quick response. Yes, the company definitely owns the vehicle outright.

 

As soon as I'm back at work I'll let them know to expect letters, that Im in dispute with the company in question and to pass all correspondence straight to me.

 

Will also be making a donation to say thanks - without this forum I (and no doubt many others) would have simply paid up.

Hello to you all. I have a PCN from Vehicle Control Services. in which it states we have contravened CODE 94 (Parking without displaying a valid ticket/permit). The date was a Sunday, which in Leeds, usually means no parking charges. VCS say they affixed a parking charge notice to the vehicle (there was no notice attached when we returned to the vehicle & they havent sent a copy, so this is the first we have heard of it). They want £120 in 7 days (backed up with usual threats).

 

What do you say, ignore? Just not sure about the lack of parking ticket/permit, whether this should be considered.

 

Many thanks.

Just ignore. If you do owe them anything it would just be the actual cost of the P&D ticket, not that stupid £120.

 

My my, they do try and make themselves appear official and legitimate with that "CODE 94 (Parking without displaying a valid ticket/permit)" nonsense.

Hi, am new to the site, have had a read of some of the posts, and am pretty sure I know what the answer to my question will be, however I will explain anyway.

 

I got an £80 Parking Charge Notice from Vehicle Control Services Ltd today, to be honest I have parked on the same car park loads of times, and I have saw the signs but thought no-body bothered to check as I know loads of people park and don't get tickets. You are supposed to have a car pass to park there, and I have just not got round to getting one yet. They have said I have contravened code 94 - Parked without displaying a valid ticket. And I apparently have 7 days to pay it. I am in the armed forces so don't really want to be getting myself into trouble, but don't want to pay £80 fine.

 

I am guessing you will advise not to pay, but what is the liklehood that this may cause trouble for me???

 

Thanks in advance for any help and advice x

Hello and welcome to this forum. For a start this is not a "fine" as you have not broken any laws and have not committed an offence. Just ignore any correspondence from the company and don't contact them. Nothing will happen to you, and such things as your credit record will not be affected.

 

This is just a civil matter. If the company want that money they will have to take you to the civil court (very unlikely) and you lose (very, very unlikely).

 

So just relax and don't worry. If there are any more developments please come back on here for reassurance you need.

As you are in the armed forces you will be familiar with the NATO phonetic alphabet. In the very, very unlikely event of a debt collector turning up at your door then tell them to Foxtrot Oscar or you will call the police!

Hi, I am a medical student and I attended a meeting at a hospital last Thursday. I parked in the hospital car park, which is parking by permit only, and there were signs in the car park from Vehicle control services stating that you needed a permit to park there. Under these signs it stated that a permit was available from reception, so I went to the reception to get a permit. On returning to my vehicle ( 15 minutes later because this is how long it took me to queue for a permit) I had been given an £80 parking charge, even though I had the permit on me. No parking attendants were around and I sent VCS a letter explaining the situation. They replied and told me that they would not revoke the charge because I parked there without a permit- even though you have to leave your car in order to get a permit from the reception. They also told me that I should have rang the helpline number to explain my situation. However, on returning to the car park for photographic evidence, the helplne number is misprinted and it is an invalid number.

 

So i wrote the company another letter, telling them about their invalid signs, and the sign instructing me to get a permit from the hospital reception. They have replied stating that they will not revoke the charge, and If I do not pay the £80, it will increase to £120, and after this it could result in court proceedings. I am scared of going to court but on the other hand I cannot afford an £80 charge. They have also told me that no further appeal will be considered or responded to and that they have made their final decision. I was just after some advice please? Not only do their signs have an invalid telephone number on, but I was issued this charge when I went to obtain the permit and the'r charge is also over the recommended charge of £75 from the British Parking association of whom they claim to be a member.

 

p.s I only just found this thread today and its great, thanks to all

 

Many thanks
