    • I have now been given a court date vs Evri, 4th Sept 2024. I have completed my court bundle, when am I expected to send copies to the court and Evri and should it be in hard copy or electronic? The Notice of Allocation states that no later than 7 days before the directions hearing both parties must send to the other party their final offers to settle. Does this mean I will have to tell Evri what I'm willing to settle? Rgds, J
    • Ok how about this to the CEO? I know it sounds super desperate but lets call a spade a spade here, I am super desperate: Dear Sir, On 29th November 2023 I took out a loan of £5000 with you. Unfortunately very early into 2024 I found myself in financial difficulty (unexpected bills and two episodes of sickness and the tax office getting my tax code wrong resulting in less pay for two months) and I contacted you (MCB) on 13th February 2024 asking if there was any way I could extend the length of my loan to 36 months. I fully explained why I was requesting this and asked for your help. I did not receive a reply to that email so I again contacted you on 7th March 2024 to advise you of a change in my circumstances which resulted in me having to take out a DMP and asking you to confirm that the direct debit had been cancelled. You would have also received confirmation of this DMP from StepChange but you did not acknowledge receipt of my email. I have only managed to make one payment from my loan but did try and contact MCB to discuss extending my loan, help etc.  I have now therefore fallen behind on several of my debts, yours included, and as a result you have lodged a Cifas marker against my name for "evasion of payment", which has resulted in me having to change banks, which has been an extremely difficult process because of the Cifas marker. I do not feel you have been fair or given me the opportunity to fully explain my situation to you before you lodged the marker against my name. I appreciate it is a business and you have acted accordingly, but I did try to make contact to arrange alternative arrangements and at no point, not even to this day, did I ever intend to not repay my loan. I cannot stress to you enough how much this has affected my mental health. I am having trouble sleeping and my existing health condition has been exacerbated by all of this. What I would like you to do is to please, please remove the Cifas marker and let me make arrangements to pay the loan back through a DMP.  Please sir, I am begging for your help here. I am not a dishonest person and I have never been in a situation like this before. I am desperately trying to make things right but this marker is killing me. Please can you help me? I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully,
    • Just be careful with your language on what you post here - Keep it above board Lets see what you send to the big boss. 
    • I made that payment on 13th Feb, then it all went down hill.

    • 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.

Errrm no, it wasn't the reason I "came back" as you put it.

 

But well done for your constructive comments, and addressing the issues plaguing CAG at the moment.

 

Oh, wait. No you didn't. You just put your fingers in your ears and went; LA, LA, LA.

 

It doesn't mean I speak with forked tongue, no matter how much you try to deny things to yourself.

 

No dear, I merely refused to rise to your oh-so-obvious baiting attempt. And will keep on doing so.

 

You chose to leave, don't let the door hit you on the way out. You want to imagine dark deeds, that's up to you, you won't be the first one on the Internet, I believe. You want me to say this and that so that you and your little bored chums can then dissect it and snigger from your lickle hidey-hole, not gonna happen. :-)

 

This is the smiling thread and I am smiling as I type this, because you DO make me laugh. You have no idea how much. Bless your little festering cotton socks. :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

It's a nice day outside, I'm sitting on the veranda with my laptop, feet up, my darling man of 25 years and I debating where to go for Sunday (late!) lunch, the dog snoozing at my feet. Just now, life is good. Honey, people like you and your ilk can't touch me, nowhere near, not ever.

 

Have a great Sunday, will you? Don't want you to choke on your own bile after all. :-D :-D :-D

 

PS: If you really have a beef with the forum, there is another thread for people to spot the niggles and tweaks needed and all suggestions are welcome, as far as I am aware.

 

If it's because you're a luddite and can't come to grips with the techie side, then the "swear" thread might be the place for your gripes.

 

If you just want to create an argument... Nope, can't think of anywhere you'd be welcome. :-)

I think it's great if we can rep in the Bear Garden. Many's the time I've been really down and come in here for a bit of release from DCA cr*p, and the posts that cheered me up and kept me going that day are to my mind just as valid as the ones that showed me how to kick the idiots in the banks up the bum.

 

Plus I'm fairly certain my owl joke would have got me dozens of reps had it been allowed at the time:lol::D

 

What owl joke would that be then, Lexis ?
