    • Good morning all, No further communication with P2G so now submitting my small claims action. Would be grateful for any feedback on my description of claim before I submit later. The defendant in this case is Parcel2Go Limited The claimant sent a parcel using Parcel2Go Ltd as a broker and Evri as the shipper containing two handmade bespoke wedding trays to a customer with 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 informed that the parcel was being returned to me but after waiting three weeks was informed by Evri 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. 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. The claimant therefore seeks £370 in respect to the value of goods plus court costs. I thought it might be better to use the CRA rather than the Supply of Goods and Services Act as we are sole traders - is this correct?
    • No new development, I'm afraid. The last update I received was a letter from the court, advising that the case had been transferred to Croydon County Court.

    • Hi, I am aware there’s been few threads about this already but just wanted to confirm information on my case. I was with Village gym last year(2023) on initial 6 month usual contract they do, I lost my job and due to that I couldn’t afford to pay for gym nor I had any motivation to go to gym at that time so they sent me arc phone message in September 2023 that I owed them £140 so I paid them back on instalments in 2 months time.  Then I started receiving new years deals in December 2023 and I decided to give them a call but they never mentioned anything about 6 month contract or anything, only that it would be monthly rolling contract and I paid them for 2 months and then I realised both months they charged me £59 instead of £38 they offered me on the phone when I mentioned that I am still student, even though before I was paying £43 a month in mid 2023. I spoke to gym entrance lady and she said I should give a call to gym on the phone number so I did and whoever answered said they’ll pass my info to manager and he will give me a call back in 24 hours, of course no one called me back so I called again and they said same thing. And of course once again no one got in touch with me so I got tired of them charging me more than they should and decided to cancel my direct debit and stopped going there as I got new job with rotation shifts which is not good for me as I cannot visit gym after I finish at 10pm every second week.  And now in April I received arc message saying this :  Also they have my old flat address where I used to live. What is the  best thing to do for me please? Thank you!

    • 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 there

I received my first notice to pay £45 because I parked in a lidl's carpark last Saturday night, we were at a concert over the road, I think everyone parked there.

Am I right in thinking I ignore all the letters these people will send me even though they have photos of my registration.

Thanks

You might like to know that after sending a letter off to Athena ANPR contesting their outrageous parking "charge", composed using the helpful advice found here, I received a cancellation notice of the "charge" in the post.

 

So that's at least £45 quid saved thanks to the contributors on this site. Thanks everyone. I hope this encourages others to fight back.

 

Regards

Who knows. It's not what I expected.

 

FYI here is the text I used:

 

Dear Sir,

 

Re: your letter dated 99th November, 2010. Reference 123456789

 

Thank you for your letter dated 99th November 2010.

 

It seems that you have got my details from the DVLA and I confirm I am the keeper of the vehicle in question. I request that you take this matter up with the driver of the vehicle at the time in question.

 

I absolutely deny your claim that the amount claimed, or any amount at all, is due to you from me.

 

I note your comments about debt collectors. Given that this debt is in dispute I shall simply advise them that the debt is in dispute and they will have to refer back to you.

 

Yours faithfully,

Hi i got a letter on 27/4/11 stating that my vehicle over stayed...

I ignored this and now have another letter stating that this is a final reminder for payment and if not paid this will be past over to debt collectors.

Shall i do the same as before with this letter?

Thanks

Hi all i received this a few days ago..? I still have made no contact with the company at all just been listening to you guys.. But on this letter it says it'll be passed to debt collectors..? Any advice

 

For "debt collectors" substitute the words "tea boy" and it is just about the same effect. (actually it probably is the same person really!) :)

Yep. Everyone gets this letter, here it is again, snap! (very common, this is not mine BTW):

 

http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/m604/FTPPCs/AthenaLetter3-1.jpg

 

It's a standard computerised template threatogram. Ignore it.

 

Google the words 'PPC letters, what to expect' and the result will show you pictures of Athena's whole letter-chain, that's where I got the above picture from. Then you will know what to ignore next, pathetic rubbishy letters from LRC unless they have changed their debt-collector recently.

 

Debt-collectors are just pen pushers, they cannot send the boys round nor affect your credit rating as there is no credit agreement involved. Nothing happens, it's bothersome but that's it, like ignoring annoying phishing emails.

Thank you, Will take your advice. Who are the appropriate authorities for complaint under Consumer Credit Act?

 

Trading Standards and the OFT are the best two.

M Drew Have you a debt to pay? No you just got a speculative invoice wait till you have had the rest of the letters including the last chance before court action you may get several of these and then it will all go quiet having contacted them you may get more than the usual run of letters Ignore everything unless you actually get a county court summons or win the lottery which is more likely

Hi all. A friend has received his first "Civil parking charge notice" from Athena ANPR. I have been researching and came across this site packed with great information.

I can see a lot of people say just ignore.

Is there anyone here who is no longer recieving letters by ignoring them and if so how long did it take for them to leave you be?

Also, has ANYONE been taken to court or had a CCJ imposed because of a civil parking charge imposed by Athena ANPR?

I would greatly appreciate answers from people that have been through this process before I give any advice.

 

Many thanks in advance

Paul

Hello Paul. You should find all the information you need from reading around this forum.

 

PPCs don't do court and on the rare occasions when they try, it regularly goes wrong.

 

My best, HB

I am so glad I found this site..! After reading majority of the posts I intend to email them (as the Notice had an email address)

 

 

I have received your letter regarding the overstay parking fee/invoice at Lidl – not Waitrose – Lidl. After contacting the Consumer Action Group I will not pay this extortion amount. If you decide to send me letters from legal recoveries and debt collection companies or possible court proceeding letters I will choose to ignore them. I have not broken any laws and therefore will not accept to pay your unlawful fine.

 

Your reminder letters in red, blue or black will not provoke me to pay towards your fee/invoice.

 

I will not be appealing.

 

In the meantime I will be contacting Birmingham Trading Standards in relation to your inappropriate parking charge.

 

Regards

 

What do you think??

 

 

Send some a letter something like... just remember to edit to suit your requirements.

 

 

 

 

Don't admit to anyone who was driving the vehicle, unless of course it is a different matter.

 

Hopefully someone else will come along to add some input too.
