    • Unsure what would be classed as appeal I first contacted the applicant then IAS. I am not aware I could appeal again as Bank state I was informed that is news to me. I would have to look through the paper work, I apologise I forget so much due to my caring duties wish I had quality time to get so much done. Will try and look tomorrow, appreciate everyone's time and input.

    • Hi, I've been reading the invaluable advice on this forum and reading about the problems with Evri and lost delivery of items.  From what I gather the initial steps after having exhausted every's own lost item claim process is to draft a Letter of Claim, I think it is called and to register with the government Money Claims.  I have got a login for Money Claims and have made an initial stab at the letter but I'm not certain I have got it right. Am I right to assume that having exhausted Evri customer service's claims process and having received the denial of any compensation because the laptop I was sending is on the non-compensatory list that my next step would be to send the Letter of Claim to them? Let me provide some basic details which I hopefully have addressed in the letter. I purchased a laptop through Amazon.co.uk which a business in Belfast sold refurbished laptops through.  They had a 30 day money back guarantee for a full refund if you have any issues with the laptop.  I have the invoice from Amazon showing the purchase.  On 27 April, 2024 before the end of the 30 day period I used their ParcelShop (inside a Tesco) to send the laptop back and have the tracking reference mentioned in the letter.  As mentioned in the letter there was they advised they could not give me or sell me any insurance because laptops are on the non-compensatory list so I just paid the normal delivery cost.  It was scanned as leaving the ParcelShop on 29 April and the tracking has been like that ever since.  After a 28 working day Evri claim process they gave the expected response that they could not provide any compensation and simply could not proceed with my claim. I was hoping to get some advice on whether I go ahead now and email this to Customer Services straightaway and should I send a hard-copy to the Evri address as well?  Or are there any steps I have missed out on first?  I believe 14 days is the reasonable period of time for them to respond so if I were to send it tomorrow, for example 12 June then I should expect a reply by 26 June, is that correct and fair?  And assuming they don't reply with a full refund then I would then go down the government Money Claims site to proceed with that? Sorry for all the questions, I want to make sure I go about it properly.  I'll continue to read through other cases on here so I can get an even better handle on the process. I attached a LOC, happy for any edits or updates that will make it even better. Thanks so much for anyone's help! Regards, Matt Evri letter of claim.docx
    • The date was 3 June. Get on MCOL now. The legal principle is that, even if you defence is late, if the other party hasn't requested judgement, then your defence takes priority and is accepted. You might be in time. When I say now I mean now.  Recently we had someone who was nine days' late and this was pointed out to them at 5:30pm.  They faffed around till 11pm.  When they went on MCOl they saw that judgement had been entered at 7pm. Every minute is vital. File the below standard defence if you still can - 1.  The Defendant is the recorded keeper of [motor vehicle]. 2.  It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3.  As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance.  The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner.  Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim.    4.  In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5.  The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer.  6.  The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety.  It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.
    • Hi friends,  I’m a bit worried I may have got confused with timings here. I thought I had 33 days from my acknowledgment to submit a defence but the date added above says 3/6/24.   have I missed the date?   if so how can I apply for an exception due to my disability and problems with deadlines and dates etc (ADHD)?   what should I submit as a defence?   I’ve had no reply from BW so far    just been back on MCOL and it says 28 days from service if I completed an acknowledgment of service so does that mean 28 days from that of acknowledgement (I.e. 16/5) which would make deadline for defence 14/6?   Thanks! Panicking here.

    • 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.

Perhaps we need a specific thread which brings together all of IJ's misdemeanours then when it's about 100 pages long we can send it to the Minister..............& tell him to chew on that

I absolutely agree with you .... I'm not sure if we can take it any further ... I suppose we could direct a campaign to James Plaskitt at the DWP (address #74 above) opposing the use of these DCA's based upon the expereinces of CAG members :(

 

Boa.. ..

Over 30 years ago I worked as a junior civil servant in what was then called the Secretary of State'e Private Office. My role as Correspondence Clerk was to log all letters from MPs etc and arrange for some official to draft a reply. The final draft letter went to the junior Minister to sign and if he wanted to add anything other than his signature, he was told not to quibble but sign. Two copies of the signed letter were then sent to the MP. Why? So that the MP could forward it to the consituent with a brief covering letter. Nothing has changed has it!

 

The only was to be effective is for every CAGer to write to their MP and then add a multiplier effect by writing directly to the Secretary of State, the Under sercretary, the Queen, the Prime Minister, the government department itself, your Euro MP, in fact anyone else you care to think about. The letters will all find themselves on the desk of the same official. He will deal with 20 or so letters a day without raising an eyebrow. Give him 20,000 a day and some action may be taken. Otherwise it is simply a waste of time & effort to complain.

Well I'll be b......d.

 

You mean 'Private Office' as in now 'Richmond House'???

 

I'll say no more, but I'm getting that "what a small world!!!" feeling. :)

 

The highlighted portion of your last paragraph will seem like overkill to many, but I have stated often enough one must complain to everyone who might listen and might be prepared to do something - even 'St John's Ambulance' if it comes down to it.....

HOIST BY THEIR OWN PETARD.

 

Blimey it works....:-)

Yes, but before it moved there. I'm very, very old now. Most of the MPs are dead and even the then young political advisers are now 'grandees'.

Did you receive any kind of reply? At least an acknowledgement to say they've received your letter. If not, then he's supposed to - I believe MPs are given a very short time limit to respond to initial letters (four days, is it?).

My 2c worth.

 

Being a very popular site, I wonder why it is that CAG doesn't organise something along the lines of collecting evidence against specific organisations and then seeking publicity over why the OFT et el are not taking action? Even if the organisors of this site don't have the time, volunteers could be sought - I would be willing.

 

As an individual you can be fobbed off, but with evidence of thousands of abuses, it becomes of interest to the media. To my mind the gov organisations who are supposed to be regulating these organisations are the ones we should be attacking...

I would be up for that .... don't work, eBay is crap, plenty of time to spare nowadays ... not even getting DCA letters to fend off anymore:D

Ive just read the whole of this thread trying to work out what it was that was on Youtube. I am at work at the moment, Youtube is a blocked site so I cannot get on.

 

Could someone please give me a synopsis of the audio file?

 

Many thanks

Advice given is my opinion only, I am not a legal or financial expert (far from it).

I'd love a synopsis too please because until I visit a friend's house I can't listen to audios.. For some reason my computer's completely silent.

I've just been reading all this thread and am keen to join in with the fight back.

As far as deciding who to vote for at the next election, I think the only hope is for independent candidates to stand in each constituency. I don't think swapping one corrupt political party for another is ever going to get us anywhere but deeper in the mire.
