    • Hi BankFodder, Thanks for the reply.  I will take your advice and read through more thoroughly. To answer your question, the value of the laptop is £255.  When filling in the online form to prepare the shipment it asked what the contents of the parcel was and the value and I specified "laptop" and "£255". Thanks.
    • Before you start this claim you need to have a lot more confidence in what you're doing which means that you need to understand the way forward in the principles involved more thoroughly. We will help you and you will probably get your money back but this is a self empowerment forum and so you have to do your bit as well. Please will you spend at least the next couple of days reading through the stories on this sub- forum. Try to understand them thoroughly. We have lots of stories very similar to yours but even those which are not similar, have principles in them which apply. In particular you need to read and understand the information in the pinned topics at the top of the sub- forum. I know that you have been reading around here for the past couple of hours but it needs a lot more. You aren't in a huge hurry. Wait a few days before sending a letter of claim and also that needs some amendment as well. Come back here when you've done your reading and then we will have a look at your letter of claim and help you to refine it Also, please tell us the value of the laptop. Was it properly declared as a laptop – and was the value properly declared
    • 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

    • 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.

I recently visited my girlfriend in halls and was subjected to a parking ticket. The idea is you need to display a permit or a pay and display ticket.

 

However I'm wondering if I can contest it. The entrance from the south side has no warning signs. You drive along a stretch of road and then on the right is the halls and parking. Further up the main link road about 50-100yds is a pay and display machine with sign of the charges and to display and pay park on Keele campus.

 

However in the halls car parks there are a few signs dotted on trees, but nothing facing the entrance to the road.

 

The parking ticket says:

 

'Civil Penalty Notice'

 

NOTICE OF BREACH OF PARKING CONDITIONS AT KEELE UNIVERSITY. ISSUED BY THE CAR PARKING PARTNERSHIP.

 

Veh Reg: On ticket

Make: Ford

Seen in Location Keele University:

KU - Residents Parking and Pay & Display Ar

Ticket Issued at 11.06 on 16\12\08

Civil Enforcement Officer 003 has reasonable cause to believe that a civil penalty has been incurred because:

Code: 01

Parked without clearly displaying the required permit or pay and display ticket.

 

A CIVIL PENALTY OF £50 IS DUE WITHIN 28 days of issue..

Discounted amount of £25 will be payable within 14 days.

 

What are my rights here exactly? Fair enough I didn't display a ticket but there isn't exactly signs everywhere stating Pay and Display except on the uni road further up from where I turned off.

 

They also don't state my exact location either...

 

Any help appreciated.

You say the ticket says "civil PENALTY notice"?

 

I wouldn't bother doing anything about contesting it with that wording on. They cannot charge you a "penalty" for parking, only charge you for a breach of parking conditions so they are unlikely to take their claim anywhere near a court.

On the back it quite clearly states breach of CONTRACT codes!!

 

I would advise the following. (Same advice as I gave earlier today)

 

1 Fold the ticket in half

2 Fold it in half again

3 and again

4 and again

5 again

6 once more

7 and again

8 now try and fold it in half again - if you can then you have disproved the theory that you cannot fold a peice of paper in half more than 7 times.

 

9 having proved/disproved that theory drop the waste paper in the nearest bin...

its the CONTRACT that is the important bit.

 

The fact is they are a PCC which relies on contract law.

 

You park in their carpark and in doing so agree to pay as per an implied contract with T&C displayed near their ticket machines.

 

(much of this is dependant on sineage but forget that for now)

 

1 by law, even if you accede the fact that the sineage was sufficient (which we dont at this moment but leave that for now) the most they can hope for in your breaching the contract is their own losses - which will be nowhere near the money they are asking for - this would then fall under the unfair terms and conditions and probably the utccr also.

2 The parking company can apply to the DVLA to get the Registered Keepers details (after paying a fee) but you are under NO LEGAL OBLIGATION to divulge who the driver is.

3 As the contract would be with the DRIVER of the vehicle and not the owner - and unless they can PROVE who the driver is - they have no case to take anywhere near a court. (Never outright deny being the driver - I would say answer enquiries with - you will have to take that up with the driver of the vehicle)

PCC's know that they basically have not a leg to stand on on this but rely on scare tactics to bully people into paying.

It is £2 a day to park or £1 for half a day. The ticket was issued as I overslept and the machine only lets you get a ticket from 8am and there are only two parking machines, one at the main entrance to Keele in a laybay and this other near the halls which has been out of order for a few weeks but is working again now.

 

I mean I know they are bullies, but potentially by leaving it will I end up getting in further trouble. I'm a bit of a worrier over things like that...the registered keeper isn't actually me yet, the car is new to me and the details haven't changed yet.

they quote "Civil Enforcement Officer" aka CEO as used in real council parking under TMA. Looks fraudulent to me especially with the layout and wording. Ignore the PPC and photocopy the ticket, send it to the council parking department as part of an informal appeal and ask for a copy of the CEO's notes :)

My opinion is that you will not - watch your thread for a couple of days and see what other people think - they will either confirm or contradict my point of view - then you can make your mind up - you can spare a day to get further opinion.

Which council though. The notice was issued with a Keele Uni header. Would I send this to Newcastle under Lyme council which Keele comes under or Staffordshire County Council?

its not council it is a PPC fraud. they are even using a Northants postcode to make it look more "TEC like". This clearly an outrageous unlawful and illegal piece of paper. fear not, its the PPC that is hugely and clearly in the wrong. see http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/parking-traffic-offences/164651-problems-ppcs-face.html?highlight=problems+ppc+face and FAQs - PPCs - fighting back. The forces are aligned haven't seen many as outrageous as this one is.

So are they likely to take this furhter or will they leave it unpaid. I don't want to be spending ages fighting £25 for it to backfire and its more about time and effort as well but I certainly don't agree with how they go about there business.

lamma, that seems a very naughty thing to do! If he does this the PPC may get into serious trouble for using terms like "penalty", "CEO" and the postcode near to TECs. Surely you wouldn't want the PPC to get into bother for these minor transgressions would you? :D

You will receive 4 or 5 threatening letters, maybe a couple from debt collectors, before they give up and go away.

 

• do not pay

• do not contact them

ignore the lies and threats in the letters

• they will give up and go away after 4 or 5

• they will not go to court, but will happily threaten court action to try and scare you into paying. And maybe threaten to kidnap your dog, beat up your granny etc etc.

• if you get a debt collection letter, don't confuse them with bailiffs. Debt collector = private company with no powers apart from letter writing.

did you read my post about how unlawful this paper is ? and follow the links ? I would love to get one of these and have them try to take it to court - the judge would destroy them. Fear not.
