    • You probably do need to ignore it, but show it to us just in case. Cover up your name, address and anything that could ID you like your car reg. HB
    • Hi all! I've now had a "final notification letter" through from ECP. I assume I should continue to ignore this, but is there likely any action I need to take? Do you need to see a copy of the letter? Thanks
    • Please will you upload the defence in a PDF format document
    • Afternoon All - after 3 weeks of silence, this morning I received an email from HMCTS advising that P2G have rejected my claim. Decide whether to proceed Parcel2Go.com has rejected your claim. You need to decide whether to proceed with the claim. You need to respond before 4pm on 25 June 2024. Your claim won’t continue if you don’t respond by then. This is their ‘defence’ Their defence Why they disagree with the claim When choosing a service on the Defendants website, the Claimant chose to book their order with Evri and selected to take out £20 parcel protection which comes with the service. On the first page of the booking process, the Claimant entered the value of £265 for the contents and was offered parcel protection for loss or damages against their goods for £13.99 + VAT. The Claimant selected no, which then produced a pop up which explained 'We strongly recommend that you protect the full value of your item(s).' however, the Claimant still did not take this protection out and instead continued with the booking process. At the end of the booking process, the Claimant was offered this again which was refused and the Claimant continued with the booking by accepting the terms and conditions which re-iterates the information provided in the booking process. The parcel was sent, however, seems to be delayed in transit. The parcel finally started to track again, however, when delivered the parcel was empty with no contents. As such, the claim was re-opened and attempted to be settled for the £20 protection taken out in the booking process. This was refused by the Claimant as they felt they should be paid the full amount of the value entered when booking. Unfortunately, due to the refusal of the parcel protection in the booking process the Defendant is not liable to settle the claim to the value and only to the parcel protection taken out. The Defendant shall rely on the Terms and Conditions of carriage in particular section 9. The Defendant understands that the contents have not be handled with due care and attention, which is not being disputed, however, they are disputing the amount they are liable to. They have requested mediation, I’m sure not least to drag the case out even longer, but I can see no benefit to me in this and so shall reject it. As ever, I’d welcome your thoughts guys. g59   
    • I doubt HMCTS holds any data on whether arrests by AEAs required police assistance.  They couldn't or wouldn't provide data on how many of warrants issued were successfully executed - just the number issued!  In my experience, arrest warrants whether with or without bail are [surprisingly] carried out with little or no fuss.  I think it's about how you treat people - a little respect and courtesy goes a long way. If you treat people badly they will react the same way. Occasions when police are called to assist are not common and, having undertaken or managed many thousands of these over the years, I can only recall a handful of occasions when police assistance was necessary. On one occasion, many years ago, I arrested and transported a man from Hampshire to Bristol prison on a committal warrant. It was just me and he was no problem. I didn't know the Bristol area (pre Sat Nav) and he was kind enough to provide directions - seems he knew the prison.  One young chap on another committal warrant jumped out of his back window and I had to chase him across several garden fences.  When he gave up (we were both knackered) I agreed to drive by his girlfriend's house to say farewell for a while.  I gave them a few moments and he was fine. The most difficult are breach warrants but mainly in locating the defendant as they don't want to go back to prison - can't blame them.  These were always dealt with by the police until the Access to Justice Act transferred responsibility from them to the magistrates' courts. The fact was the police did not actively pursue them and generally only executed them when they arrested someone for something else and found they had a breach warrant outstanding.  Hence the transfer of responsibility.

    • 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.

Bit of background.

My partner has two children that he isnt allowed to see. Long story, but the ex ignored all judges orders, and this is still ongoing two years later.

He earns £780 a month.

He hasnt paid CSA as we have two children (one is three, the other is 6 months) and we ourselves dont have enough money to even pay the mortgage or bills, let alone the csa money.

Our mortgage is £777 a month, so that counts for his wages. We scrape by on nothing, and are left with no disposable income.

The ex is completely on benefits, so anything she needs will be paid for.

CSA have caught up with my partner, and are now going to start taking the money out of dp's wages before we even get them.

This month they will be taking £274, leaving us with £516 a month to live on. This means the mortgage wont be paid, and probably not much else will be either.

On New years Eve, they will be taking £280.

On the 28th April they'll take £74, and then TWO DAYS LATER they'll be taking £139.

At the end of May they'll be taking £74.

 

This will leave us with absolutely no money at allto live on, and taking into consideration that we have no disposable income at all, infact, we are down about £1000 each month, I find this to be amazing!

I am all for paying for your children. Of course you should, but what are MY children meant to live on? It seems like favouritism to me.

His children get money that we dont actually have, whereas my children are thrown even deeper into this hole of a life where we csnnot even afford food.

 

Can somebody PLEASE help??

Hi There,

 

I have had similar problems in the past.

 

You can ask the independant case examiner to look at your case and review dependant on your current circumstances of even write to your MP asking him to intervene on your case.

Hope you have some better news soon

Oh thats brilliant, thanks very much. Much better help than I got on MSE. Iv written a sob story/factual letter to CSA. Not sent it yet though. Im not sure it'll do much good.

A lady from csa rang a few weeks ago, and when we said we didnt even have enough money to look after ourselves or ou children, she just said theyd ake it into consideration, but it doesnt look like they have.

I really feel for you on this....

 

It doesn't seem to matter to the CSA about the second family's children.

 

My husbands ex-wife had one daughter to him...he left the marital home but continued to pay the mortgage on the property, we didn't know it at the time but she was claiming housing benefit for the house aswell as taking his money.

 

She had a valuation done & realised the house was in negative equity, so she chose to leave...because she said she didn't want to get stuck with it & wanted nothing to do with it.

 

She claimed housing benefit on a rented property. We had to leave my council house & move into the former marital home. Then when the house was back in equity she decided she wanted money from it.

 

We had to remortgage & he had to give her over £12000.00 in a lump sum. We're also paying CSA. Our mortgage payments were five times higher than previously and were now having to try to sell the house because we can't afford the payments or it will be repo'd.

 

We also got all of their marital debt to pay, even though she took the loans!

 

She's living the high life & also gets away with ripping off the system....while my husband, our three children & myself are giong under and don't have a pot to p*** in 'so to speak' :-x

 

It doesn't seem right does it?

 

I really hope this gets sorted for you :)

I had a sort of similar problem a few years ago...this time paying for me and my partners kids (while living with them)

 

Basically my son Harry was born and for the first year me and his mum where not living together (my partner was on income support i was a student living with my parents still with a part-time job).

After a year I moved in with my son and his mum and 6 months later the csa came along asking for several hundred pounds despite us now been a working family with both parents living at home. (They where after the csa payments I owed them while i wasnt living there) Despite the fact they where actually taking money from the very child they claim it was to support. I refused to pay on the above grounds. After several weeks of harrassment from they're debt collectors in N-Ireland in the end I heard nothing, and havent done to this day (and hopefully wont...im still living with my partner and harry and our second child charlotte)

 

Hope they never get back in touch...how this government seems to luck after people who dont work at the expense of everyone else is beyond me.

Cheers

It's a long time since I had dealing with the CSA (on both sides of the fence - first with my ex-husband's first wife leaving us broke and later after we split up I was made to make a claim as I was on benefits for a while. Was still over four years until I had anything out of them, mind, and I'd been working for three years ny then! Anyhow, I digress...) in terms of what's allowed and what's not, and I believe rules have changed fairly recently so it may depend on the date of the first claim, but if I recall correctly (and do remember that this may be slightly flawed)...

 

A new partner's earnings/income would not be taken into account, so whether they're on £5 a week or £500 a week it should not affect the calculations on the 'absent parent'.

 

All other children should be taken into account, whether the absent parent lives with the new children or not, and a deduction from the calcualtion made per child according to their age.

 

I don't think the parent with care's income matters unless they're on benefits (when they start to remove some of the benefit in relation to money paid in maintenance).

 

But, I do know that once they've finally sorted a claim out, they're very strict on arrears.

 

Not much help, I'm afraid, but might be some things worth checking out (like whether any new children have been accounted for in the calculations)
