    • 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.

:D Well I've finally done it, after reading the forums and FAQ's for a while now I sent my Data Protection letter on 4th July. Received my reply from Pete Townsend on the 7th saying statements on the way.

 

All seems to be following the usual pattern of the other forum threads so its fingers crossed time !!!

 

I'm also going to claim for my hubbys credit card and my Mums bank charges. Her charges are going to be HUGE but the support and stories on these boards has given me the confidence and motivation to claim them back for her.

 

Thanks all in advance and I'll keep you posted.

Hi all, still waiting for my statements. By my reckoning they have until Saturday to reply. I've been reading through the forums about different experiences with Barclays delaying tactics and I'm wondering what the best thing to do is. Should I ring them and remind them they only have until Saturday to comply, or, just wait until the 40 days are up and send the template letter about none compliance that Bankfodder posted?

Hope all goes well on Friday.

 

I think the General advice is don't get involved with telephone calls with Barclays. If you send a letter (recorded delivery is best), then you can prove to a court what has been happening.

In the past few weeks it seems Barclays are using all of the 40 days as yet another delaying tactic. When I started my claim in May they were sending back statements within a few days.

Hi Emble

 

Hi all, still waiting for my statements. By my reckoning they have until Saturday to reply.

 

They have 40 Days from Receipt of the DPA request, which I recon will be the 14th August, if received on the 7th July.

 

I've been reading through the forums about different experiences with Barclays delaying tactics and I'm wondering what the best thing to do is. Should I ring them and remind them they only have until Saturday to comply,

 

You could ring them to chase them up, but probably they are in the post now, or they will wait till Friday to send.

 

or, just wait until the 40 days are up and send the template letter about none compliance that Bankfodder posted?

 

If they have not been received by you by Mondy 14th, send the Non compliance letter

 

Been a bit busy the past few weeks as I'm getting married on FRIDAY !!! :D

 

Congratulations, hope you and your partner have a better financial future, and a loving Marriage.

Where is my invite, I always cry at weddings :p

Sophie

Hello All ! Wedding went well and I'm now a MRS :D

 

More importantly, I received my statements on Monday, Day 40, and they were posted on Friday (my wedding day!)

 

Things must be bad at Barclays as the covering letter wasn't even signed. Have worked out my charges and what I thought would be about £75.00 is actually £200.00

 

Am typing my letter now ......

Hi all, just a quick question to all you helpful dudes out there.

 

I'm typing up my schedule of charges and from the statements Barclays have sent me I've added up £200 But, by the time Barclays actually got round to sending the statements, 2 of the charges are now out of 6 years i.e July 2000.

 

So my question is am I allowed to claim these charges as my original request for statements was June and these charges would have been within the timescale or do I now have to accept that I've missed the boat so to speak and can only claim charges from the date of my Preliminary letter ?

 

Any help much appreciated

Hi all

 

Haven't been on a while so need to bring you all up to date. Having received my statements from the last 6 years I calculated £200 in charges. I sent off my Prelim letter on 27th of September. Had a response from Martin Bennett, Customer Relations Advisor saying 'we are sorry you have had to contact us about the level of service you have received from Barclays. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to do so. We are looking into your concerns and will let you have an answer or update as quickly as possible, but no later than 25 October 2006'

 

From looking at the other threads this seems to be the usual ploy of giving a date after the 14 day expiry. I will be sticking to MY timetable with my LBA however I just wanted a bit of reassurance that others have had the same letter and if anyone had a letter from Martin Bennett as I've searched the forums for him and found nothing

 

Thanks in advance, Emble x

Hi all

 

Surprisingly no satisfactory response from Barclays before my deadline :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Have posted my LBA today. I'll give them the 14 days + 2 days to allow for delivery (i'm nice like that) and if not resolved will start my claim. Oooooooh, exciting !!

 

As a small aside I've just had a very nice chap from Barclays on the phone asking if he could go through my accounts with me. I feared the worst and braced myself for a grilling about my action but none was forthcoming.

 

Poor chap went through my balances ('looking okay there') and then stopped when he realised all my direct debits had been stopped. When I informed him I'd switched accounts to another bank he enquired why. When I told him my new current account gave me 5% interest his words were, 'well I can't argue with that, thanks for your time goodnight' :lol: :lol: :lol:

Another update - received a 'gesture of goodwill' on 25th October for £100. Needless to say there haven't been any other offers so I'm going to start my claim tonight.

 

I'm very nervous but I know its the right thing to do and it's good to know I've got so many people who've been there, supporting me.

You wont be needing the court bundle for quite a while yet, at least not until you receive a court date. It's definately worth a read through though.

Hi all, I'm after some advice.

 

Received my AQ and a copy of Barclays defence. Usual sort of stuff but I did notice the following :-

 

"In the alternative, which is denied, if the said charges amount to sums payable on breach of contract, it is averred that the charges asserted by the Claimant to have been applied to the account prior to 6th November 2000 would not be recoverable for reason of exhaustion of time in bringing contractual claims from the date of accrual, pursuant to the Limitation Act 1980."

 

Now as I see it they are trying to say I didn't start legal proceedings until the 6th November therefore I can't claim back any earlier than 6 years before this date. HOWEVER, I made it perfectly clear in all my previous letters (including my Data Protection Act letter) that my intention was to claim these charges back and was making an effort to settle out of court (as MCOL etc advise).

 

I seem to remember reading another thread where the same thing had happened, but for the life of me I can't find it.

 

Any help much appreciated
