    • 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 Everyone,

 

I have three on-going battles with Lloyds TSB and my business account - two of which are not really relevent in this forum but for completeness I am trying to recover £4k of loan insurance missold to me and £1.2k for "Business Partner Scheme" which did nothing except make my situation worse.

 

My third issue is recovering charges totaling £1370 + interest. I wrote a really nice letter asking for a printout of my charges (Ltd Company so DPA not applicable). The response was amazing. My new Business Manager who is quite a good bloke and has proved helpful recently was on the phone within hours. His comments in a long rambling kind of way were interesting (don't think he has faced the situation before):

 

1) If you rock the boat you will find the bank gets inflexible

2) You need to be specific about exactly which charges you mean

3) We don't hold records going back six years - if you want duplicate statements you may have to pay for them

4) You should have kept you statements for 6 years (we have)

5) You can work them out for your self that's why we send you statements

6) You need to contact the Snior Business Manager ( I have)

7) The Bank is satisfied that charges have been made in accordance with the popublished terms.

 

Phew

 

I have now escalated the matter and have sent LBA - details to follow

Welcome to the LTSB forum, Keith. Good luck with your claims, you clearly have your hands full, but you have much to gain.

Hi,

 

I held back on posting the LBA because the local branch phoned to say the Senior Business Manager had put a letter in the post to me.

 

Well.... received the letter which was short and dismissive of my points. He didn't answer any of them. His first para is interesting "With regards to the history of charges, Richard (he's the local manager) examined the recent ones, and is satisfied that all are in accordance with the Bank's tariff. We do not hold the records for the last 6 years, and should you require further information if you no longer hold your statements, Richard can obtain duplicates. I will ask him to contact you to clarify your exact requirements, as a charge may well be incurred for duplicate statements"...... and that's it regarding charges.

 

I have already extracted the information manually but did not include interest in my draft LBA because I was not sure what to do. My monthly statments have three entries:

 

Band A Overdraft 0.96% pm

Unauthorised Overdraft 2.20% pm

Hardcore +3.00%

 

I presume that it is just the unauthorised bit that I need to enter into the spreadsheets? Can anybody please advise.

 

There is a complicated background to all this but as I am approaching retirement, struggling to run a very small business and look after a disabled wife I could really do without the hassle... BUT they have taken my money and I want it back!

Well, said, who the hell does he think he is?

 

Yes, it's just the unauthorised interest.

 

Best of luck, sounds like you've had a pig of a time of it with Lloyds.

 

What is the situation with the business? Is it still running with a bank account? If so it may be worth looking into moving your business account elsewere before starting the claim process. I am concerned that if they closed your accounts suppliers wouldn't be able to pay you and vise versa, which could have a potentially damaging effect.

Hi and thanks

 

Yes I actually have another small business account with a second business which really supports the loans on the first one. The original company is not trading, it has no assets, debtors and the only creditor is the bank. They have refused to allow me to transfer the loans to my second company so I have to maintain the first just to service the loans and make monthly transfers. It is this first account that I am trying to recalin money on to hopefully reduce the loans. Hope you can understand this as I'm not sure I have explained it very well. Just to be sure I have an account with a different bank for the second company which is operating in credit - just!

Sorry - forgot to ask in last post. Does anybody have any information on how the Lloyds target scheme for employees works? Some years ago a manager told me they have 10 targets per month and have to meet 6 of them if they are not called to acount. Any info would be most helpful as I believe I accumated loads of extra charges on my business account which would normally not have happened as I would have been covered by a temporary increase in overdraft limit.

Link to post
Share on other sites

Well,

 

Some sort of progress. My normal business manager rang to say that he had been asked by his boss (thats where the LBA went) for his recommendations as to how to proceed. He says that he has examined all of the proceedures, taken advice etc and that we are likely to end up in stalemate (really! I don't think so). He wants to meet at my convenience to discuss all charges etc and to see if a solution can be arrived at that "would benefit me and avoid the stalemate".

 

Now this guy is usually very helpful and has done a lot in the past for me but ultimately he does work for the bank. I wonder exactly what authority he has and why the matter has been passed back to him for his recommendations. I am surprised that my LBA has not been passed up the chain by the senior business manager (they received it on July 4th) - is this some kind of new tactic? It almost sounded as though this was the first time this branch has ever faced this situation and they were unsure as how to proceed. I'm sure that can't be right - they must all be well briefed by now.

 

What to do next? Has anybody else had this approach? As far as I am concerned the LBA stands.

You're absolutely right about the last bit, Keith, the LBA stands. Unless your business manager sits you down and offers you a full refund, that is!!!

 

Actually it seems just like the normal response, but verbal instead of written. It's tempting to agree to meet him, just to get a feel for what they are up to. He might feel the same....Will this guy accept if I make him an offer of say £300 of charges refunded? There is no reason why you shouldn't ask him the same questions that you have posed in your second paragraph above.

 

You hold the trump card, which is the threat of court action if they don't come across with the lot. As meetings between manager and customer go, just for once you would be in the driving seat!!

Just a quick thought as I am about to leave work. I want him to communication in writing what he would like to cover in the meeting. when you meet record the meeting...tell him that you are doing so. In the meeting only cover the points he covered in writing before so. This way you have time to prepare and won't be taken off guard. I will think about this some more on my way home!

Had my second phone call from local manager LAST EVENING asking if I would like to attend a discussion on the way forward "at a time convenient to me....no battle lines..... open and transparent.......look at all charges......can continue court action......not trying to influence me....this is not a review....etc etc etc...."

 

Made appointment for Thursday and am delivering written agenda to the bank today. I really have to attend this meeting because I sent two letters prior to joining this forum in which amomgst many other things I complained that the Bank would not negotiate with me. I was hoping their refusal would help me with the Judge if the case ever got to court.

 

I have made it clear that the LBA stands and the clock is ticking. Action due on 18th July.

Well I went to the meeting and as expected it was a waste of time. I was well prepared thanks to this forum and had just about every document you could imagine with me. The manager was a bright cookie but he didn't expect me to have all the information I had so he was a bit incoherent. Truth is I thoroughly enjoyed nearly two hours of cut and thrust! Thing is they can make the figures show anything so I had a few minutes lecture about my responsibilies, "its illegal to write cheques without the funds to cover them" etc etc! The notes they had from interviews with my previous manager were quite something. I couldn't deny what they said but I barely recognised my own business. As a former lecturer I'd have given him an A* for creative writing.

 

I do need some help please. Apart from charges I am trying to get back miss sold insurance premiums, two in 2004 and 1 in 2005. I was told there was no way this was going to happen as the FSA was not around in 2004 and therefore the selling of insurance at that time was not regulated by them so I can't make a complaint to them if the need arises. Can anybody throw any light on this please?

 

Just as a final point he was absolutely adamant that charges (I presume on business accounts but possibly personal ones as well) are NOT generated automatically. In fact he demonstrated the process to me and clearly there was intervention before letters were sent out. Wonder if this true all the time or was this a one off demo?

 

Anyway we agreed to differ and parted very amicably. The LBA still stands and I'll be at the court door on the 18th with my cheque in hand. Funny thing is I think I can feel an offer on the way to me - that's how I read the final moments of the meeting.

"its illegal to write cheques without the funds to cover them" etc etc!

 

I haven't heard that one for years. Not since they dicovered how much profit was to be obtained by letting us!!

 

Sorry I can't help with the misselling problem Keith, but there are others who will.

 

Looking forward to reading on, as I too have a business claim in the offing.

Thanks for the support Elsinore.

 

You know I did wonder about that sentence. So if it is illegal to write the cheque where does that leave the Bank when they pay it and then charge us £15?

That bit about 2004 doesn't sound right.

There's some stuff here about FSA. Don't know if it will be of any help to you.

The FSA certainly was around in 2004, however, it didn't have the right to regulate... I've had a FINAL RESPONSE to my counter-offer re- a mis-sold personal loan, Keith22, in which they've offered to refund the LPI againste the loan, in order to "put me back in the position prior to taking the LPI".

 

Now, my understanding of Contract Law is that Reinstatement (Putting me back in the position...) is a resolution to Mistake, so I would interpret that Lloyds are very subtly admitting they have "mistakenly" sold me a loan I could not afford.

 

In which case I would ask that the put me in the position I was in prior to selling me the loan... Which was a hell of a lot better off than I am now...

 

Shame that I *did* actually pay the credit cards I took the loan for, so they won't ever deal with me, let alone ask for my £7k debts back...

 

I would send a letter Keith, to "Neal Lucas", Director of Lloyds' Customer Service Recovery Centre. (That's not advice, I'm just stating what I would do, were I in a similar position to yours, which co-incidentally, I am)

Thanks Oggie,

 

I'll give it a try. I'll have a few glasses of wine then put my head around the letter. On second thought ... better do that first!

 

I'v become of the opinion that things won't be taken seriously by Lloyds, until such time as you actually issue either Press statements OR legal proceedings.

 

The latter always seemed such an obvious (and hard to back up) threat, but since I've found this site, and know I have £50,000 legal cover (either as plaintiff or defendant) available to me through my home insurance (check out your own policy peeps, you'd be surprised how little this gem of an extra costs - £14.50 for a year) I know now I can, and will, be able to take my complaint to the highest authority in the land... (How Tony Blair wishes it was him...) :cool:

 

Truth is, we shouldn't worry. We are, after all, the consumer and without us, the CEOs, Directors and other FatCats, would be in the dole queue if we all decided to flex our law-protected muscles.

 

The law is there to protect us, it just takes knowledge and patience to use.

 

Best of luck, and do keep us posted...

Update time.

 

Was going to commence Court Proceedings on 18th July - but thought I had better wait until I had a written response from my business manager following the meeting on 13th.

 

Guess what - I've just got the standard "One of our assistant managers will investlgate your concerns........" letter from Customer Service Recovery so it looks as though my local manager has escalated matters. At least I'm on the same track as the rest of the forum now!

 

I'll send "Fabian Yeo" the Case Officer a short sharp wake up call - just to let him know that I'm not prepared to delay any longer and on Monday I'll amble over to the local court and hand my form in.

 

Once the charges are sorted out I'll get on to the other two issues.

Share on other sites

Yes - looked at that name & thought at first it was too much vino - then too much heat - then me age.

 

Since its a standard letter they probably don't exist - I expect somebody is having a bit of fun at their end. Even if its some poor downtrodden clerk I fancy a mini rant about their time wasting - I'll feel better.

 

Not very important I guess but I've got to fill all these extra hours that LloydsTSB are going to make we wait. Still the 8% clocks up so its better than nothing I suppose.

 

Is it too early for a G & T?
