    • Oh I see! thats confusing, for some reason the terms and conditions that Evri posted in that threads witness statement are slightly different than the t&cs on packlinks website. Their one says enter into a contract with the transport agency, but the website one says enter into a contract with paclink. via website: (c) Each User will enter into a contract with Packlink for the delivery of its Goods through the chosen Transport Agency. via evri witness statement in that thread: (c) Each User shall then enter into its own contract with the chosen Transport Agency. Packlink does not have any control over, and disclaims all liability that may arise in contracts between a User and a Transport Agency I read your post at #251, so I should use the second one (and changing the screenshot in the court bundle), since I am saying I have a contract with Evri? Is that correct EDIT: Oh I understand the rest of your conversation. you're saying if I was to do this i would have to fully adjust my ws to use the consumer rights act instead of rights of third parties. In that case should I just edit the terms and stick with the third parties plan?. And potentially if needed just bring up the CRA in the hearing, as you guys did in that thread  
    • First, those are the wrong terms,  read posts 240-250 of the thread ive linked to Second donough v stevenson should be more expanded. You should make refernece to the three fold duty of care test as well. Use below as guidance: The Defendant failed its duty of care to the Claimant. As found in Donoghue v Stevenson negligence is distinct and separate to any breach of contract. Furthermore, as held in the same case there need not be a contract between the Claimant and the Defendant for a duty to be established, which in the case of the Claimant on this occasion is the Defendant’s duty of care to the Claimant’s parcel whilst it is in their possession. By losing the Claimant’s parcel the Defendant has acted negligently and breached this duty of care. As such the Claimant avers that even if it is found that the Defendant not be liable in other ways, by means of breach of contract, should the court find there is no contract between Claimant and Defendant, the Claimant would still have rise to a claim on the grounds of the Defendant’s negligence and breach of duty of care to his parcel whilst it was in the Defendant’s possession, as there need not be a contract to give rise to a claim for breach of duty of care.  The court’s attention is further drawn to Caparo Industries plc v Dickman (1990), 2 AC 605 in which a three fold test was used to determine if a duty of care existed. The test required that: (i) Harm must be a reasonably foreseeable result of the defendant’s conduct; (ii) A relationship of proximity must exist and (iii) It must be fair, just and reasonable to impose liability.  
    • Thank you. here's the changes I made 1) removed indexed statement of truth 2) added donough v Stevenson in paragraph 40, just under the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 paragraph about reasonable care and skill. i'm assuming this is a good place for it? 3) reworded paragraph 16 (now paragraph 12), and moved the t&cs paragraphs below it then. unless I understood you wrong it seems to fit well. or did you want me to remove the t&cs paragraphs entirely? attached is the updated draft, and thanks again for the help.

    • 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.

Response contested.pdf

 

Hello one and all.

 

I have restarted this thread as I couldn't add attachments on the RBS thread and ended up with a confused thread combined with my CapOne dispute.

 

I have attached all previous correspondence in Post 1 and the latest letter received today to this post.

 

To summarize my situation, I live in an EU country having left the UK just under 2 years ago. A combination of the credit crunch/crises leaving me with reduced income, the diabolical exchange rate sterling to euro and having a car accident on the 7 Feb 2009, for which I am still having physio, leaving me not working at all now and arguing with an insurer about income protection payments, left me with no alternative but to look for ways of managing debt which is why I found CAG. Thank god I did because I have no way of paying credit card debts at the moment and what really annoyed me as well was the huge hike in interest rates being charged which I find indefensible.

 

I am now in dispute with 5 credit card agreements at different stages and this RBS Mint one is the most advanced so far.

 

RBS do seem to like playing games! My original CCA request sent on the 27 Feb 09 was responded to with a date of 20 March 09 but the envelope was postmarked 24 March 09! By my calculations 12+2 days was the 19th.

 

Similarly I gave them 21 days to respond to my last letter dated 23 March 09 and the response letter is dated 9 April 09 when the envelope shows 14 April 09, either side of the Eatser weekend.

 

Anyway, the letter attached states 'We have supplied a copy of the credit agreement that you agreed to after you received the credit card'. The 'agreement' they have sent is the application form which is not possible to be an agreement 'agreed to after you received the credit card' because I would have had to receive the card before applying!!

 

I cannot receive a card before I apply for it!!

 

Other idiocies are 'If you are not satisfied with this response, you may seek whatever legal redress they consider open to you'. Who are 'they'?? Looks like templates with various paragraphs to choose from being used.

 

They call my application 'credit agreement/application form' in a paragraph on the second page. Which is it, an app or an agreement?

 

They also state I 'cannot retrospectively withdraw consent' to data processing, is this true?

 

They threaten to add non payment info and defaults to my credit file. I am not UK resident and do not have a current UK address. Does anyone know if they can still add to a credit file in the UK on my old UK address?

 

I had about 14 calls to my mobile number from RBS Mint which stopped 2 weeks ago. All were ignored but I checked the number to find out who it was.

 

I would appreciate views on what to do next.

 

I cannot make payments due to lack of income and when it comes to paying credit cards or feeding the kids, it is obvious that the credit companies will come second every time.

 

I want to fight this and appreciate that my circumstances may be different to most in that I am not in the UK.

 

Apologies if this is a long post but it has now become serious so I need to know where to go with this.

 

Many thanks to all who respond.

Thanks again blueda.

Anybody got any opinions on other questions I have? Like the data processing, not able to retrospectively withdraw consent or the credit file additions when I do not have a UK address?

 

Thanks in advance.

If RBS are saying the account is not in dispute but I am can I get the account marked as 'in dispute' with any credit agencies who can update my file even if I am outside te UK?

 

I really would like to know where I stand with CRA's if anyone knows the answer please.

I would imagine that they will register the defaults with your last known UK address. If you come back to the UK and register to vote, this information will link to your old address(es) and your old debts. If your debt if unenforcable then I suggest you write to the CRA stating this but otherwise the defaults will only come off your file 6 years after they were 1st posted.

 

I would suggest signing up to Equifax and Experian and see what is going on your file on a monthly basis. I've been checking mine regularly over the last 8 months and its surprising what misinformation can creep up in there.

 

Hope this helps.

I think this probably is true, but you are entitled to the data they share to be accurate,

 

They threaten to add non payment info and defaults to my credit file. I am not UK resident and do not have a current UK address. Does anyone know if they can still add to a credit file in the UK on my old UK address?

 

Do you have any connection with your old UK address? Where are RBS Mint sending your correspondence? I know debts can be pursued in EU countries, but I don't know anything about CRAs overseas. If they are using the wrong address, ie your old one, then it seems to me that the data is wrong, unless you still own the property perhaps.

 

I had about 14 calls to my mobile number from RBS Mint which stopped 2 weeks ago. All were ignored but I checked the number to find out who it was.

 

I would appreciate views on what to do next.

Hi caro, I appreciate you taking the time to read the thread and for the response.

 

I do not own any property in the UK (my only 'asset' is a bank overdraft)and all correspondence is coming to my correct current address.

 

So I probably don't need to complain about anything for Data Protection from what you are saying.

 

I am aware that there are european laws in place to allow collection of 'uncontested payments' (I am using the wording in the legislation) across EU borders but not sure if that allows for accounts 'in dispute'.

 

I still don't know what my next step is. In post 10 blueda said I had already responded implying I should do nothing, I think?

 

I did not intend to be in this mess and I was happily repaying everything until last summer when everything started to go wrong.

 

I know, having read extensively on this site, that this is a long process but I am feeling unsure about the next move.

Told by Experian can't sign up on line without a UK address. I didn't want to give my current address as this would link my addresses together too easily when they may not be linked at the moment!

 

So don't know for sure what is being added to CRA's.

Copy of Response 3 230409.pdf

 

Having sent a CCA request and then a CPR request the response to the CPR request is attached.

 

They continue to play games with the dates on letters as the letter is dated the 23 April 2009 but the envelope is postmarked 27 April 2009. I gave them 21 days to reply to the CPR request sent on the 31 March which was up on the 21 April!

 

The content of the letter is written as if to my legal representative and your client which I do not have! They have conveniently (for them) not mentioned that the last letter was for a copy of my agreement under CPR 31.16.

 

They refuse to acknowledge the account is in dispute (twice!) and refer 'your client' to the FOS twice as well.

 

Very poorly constructed letter from a 'Senior DCA Ofiicer'. What would a junior have sent!

 

Any thoughts on my next response?
