    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above
    • In anticipation of lodging my court claim next Weds 1 May (14 days after advising P2G that was my deadline for them to settle my claim) I have completed my first draft POC as below: Claim Claim number: xxxxx Reference: P2G MAY 2024   Claimant xxxxx   Defendant Parcel2Go 1A Parklands Lostock Bolton BL6 4SD  Particulars of Claim The defendant has failed to arrange for the safe delivery of the claimant's parcel containing a 8 secondhand golf clubs (valued at £265) that was sent to a UK address using their delivery service (P2G Reference xxxxx). The defendant contracted Evri to deliver the parcel (Evri Reference xxxxx) and refuses to reimburse the claimant on the grounds that the claimant did not purchase their secondary insurance contract. The defendant seeks to exclude their liability in breach of section 57 Consumer Rights Act. The secondary insurance contract is in breach of section 72. The claimant seeks reimbursement of £265, plus P2G fees of £9.10, plus postage costs for two first class letters to P2G of £2.70, plus court fees, plus interest. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from xxxxx to xxxxxx on £276.80 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £xxxx   Details of claim Amount claimed £276.80 I look forward to your thoughts and comments guys! As ever, many thanks - G59    
    • Hmm, that's strange how they got my email then.  I assume the below is ok to send to DCBL, Nicky?  Hello, I am writing regarding our ongoing dispute and the upcoming court claim reference xxxxxxxx. To ensure fairness and transparency in our communications leading up to the court hearing, I request that you use postal mail exclusively for all further correspondence related to this claim. Please refrain from sending any communication or documents via email. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions or need clarification, please feel free to contact me via postal mail at the address provided above. Yours sincerely, xxxx
    • In the SAR, I received the original application, lots of computer print outs, yearly statements from 2013 and the new emails regarding my complaint. They sent me a £50 cheque after I chased them for the SAR after the 30 days. They said they was waiting for me to respond to an email (which I never received) before sending the SAR
    • classic P2G. I'm sure dianne and Lesley will pop an email to you at some point.

    • 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 all, please could you someone help with the above. I received it in the post today with regards to a credit card debt owed to Halifax which i took out July 02 and was passed to Capquest April 06. The Halifax were originally taking money from my account randomly without any notice and then passed it on to Capquest who have pestered the life out of me for the last 2 years phoning 3 x a day and numerous letters all of which i have ignored, as i had originally tried to get Halifax to agree to pay off the debt at 25.00 a month, which they refused. I have read all the literature on here and don't know whether to gamble and ignore it or reply. I do not have any assets and rent a council house, which incidentally is how I obtained the credit card when i went to the Halifax to see about a mortgage to buy the flat but then thought better of it. When I was there they practically gave me a card, well got me to sign an agreement and sent the card. The debt is for 5402.15 although nearly half is interest acrued and charges for late or non payment. Can anyone please advise me on the best course of action. Many thanks. I also have 3 CCJ's from First National of which i am paying 4.00, 4.00 and 10.00 respectively and have received no correspondence since the CCJ which i think was about 4-5yrs ago. I dont even know how much I owed originally or how much i owe now.

 

Thank you all and what a find this site was.

Hi Fifimed. I got a Statutory Demand from CapQuest as well, re: a very old Egg CC. I'm a total newbe here - but for what it's worth, here's my view. Other, more experienced hands will hopefully post and correct/elaborate.

 

1. The DCAs - esp folks like CapQuest - are just issuing SDs like confetti to see if they can chance their luck. This is not what they were designed for, and the courts take a someone dim view of it.

 

2. Most of the time, they don't follow them through - ie: if you don't reply they may well just let it drop. BUT the received wisdom here is that you don't want to risk it - you should fight it. It's far, far easier to have a SD withdrawn, then it is to fight a bankruptcy order.

 

3. You may feel that fighting the SD means you are raising you head above the parapet - but you seem to have been in contact with them to one degree or another. But remember - they are issuing THOUSANDS of these - just in the hope that some folks will panic and rob a bank or something to pay-up!

 

4. If they really did want to make your bankrupt, it would cost them at least £2,000-£3,000 in court fees and solicitor charges. So it's very unlikely they would pursue you if you have no assets - house etc. And the fact that you DON'T own a house, makes it all the more likely they have just issued the SD as a fishing trip. They are a commercial organizations, making commercial decisions. They are not going spend 3K + to get zero back.

 

5. So I think if you fight the SD, then you are showing them you are not to be messed around, and they will learn you have no assets. You might even find that the debt is unenforceable due to the Consumer Credit Act etc and/or their failure to produce the CCA etc. BUT as you have CCJ that may not be the case - other here will know much more than me.

 

6. I am fighting my SD at present - I've put all the documents into the court.

 

Bit's I've learnt so far:

 

The 18 days you have is from the date you swear that the document "came into you hands". But the sooner you get your application to set-aside in the better.

 

The courts can be very helpful - many of the bigger ones have special divisions to help folks free of charge and give them advice. BUT they won't know all the great tricks and knowledge on this site, and they won't "act" for your interests like folks here.

 

It will not cost you anything to file the application, if you turn the statement into a "witness" statement. When you file they will show you what to do.

 

You must take 3 copies of all the forms etc - you must even copy the SD 3 times.

 

When you go to file - be nice and pleasant to the folks at the counter. They get hassle all day, and will do anything for a smile!

 

Good luck - they most likely won't even turn up - you should file your expenses claim before the day, you might even make a few hundred quid out of it!!

I dont know very much about Statutory Demands, apart from the fact that you are specifically advised by all on here not to ignore it.

 

If you pop "statutory demand" into the search box at the top where all the headers are you will fetch up lots of threads, have a read through some of them for some advice. :D

Hi All

 

Many thanks for the advice. I have decided to ride the storm and see what happens. To be honest going bankrupt would not be such a bad thing for me anyway. Will stop people hassling me at work, constant letters and phonecalls at home and work are making me really depressed. The way I see it I have nothing to take, other than my credit rating which must be in minus now anyway. Fed up robbing Paul to pay Peter so to speak. I just don't have the energy anymore to fight these people. What's the worst that could happen, they take everything, they have done that already, my credibility at work is zero as they have sent letter which my boss opened so I think my whole workplace knows what a loser I am. Anyway, thank so much for all your kind words and advice it is the first time in a long time that I felt that someone cared and wasn't judging me for getting in to this mess.

 

Thanks

Fifimed - you're NOT a loser - millions of people are in the same position as you are; including many of the major banks around the world!

 

If you follow the advice here, you may well be able to stop the harassment, and maybe even get the debts put aside. But it may be best to go bankrupt if you really want to wipe the slate - but not if you own your own house etc.

 

I would think it VERY unlikely that you current creditors as mentioned would make you bankrupt; and you could stop them from hassling you.

 

At least post your total situation here, with all you debts and let folks give you advice.

Hi Scott

 

Thanks for your reply. Hopefully it is a bluff but to be honest there is nothing I can do if it isnt. Do you know what is likely to happen next, if it is not a bluff.

Kind regards
