    • Wow thats incredible. Thank you so much
    • If the purchaser denies having received it then sue P2G. If you simply don't hear anything more from the purchaser then you have the purchaser's name and address – and frankly for £48 I would go ahead and sue. As long as you have good proof of delivery then your chances of success are probably better than 95% and frankly the purchaser would probably put their hands up as they would effectively be being sued for the civil equivalent of theft. I wouldn't let it go if I were you. It would be a good exercise for you and gives you confidence the next time something comes up which is may be much more valuable
    • Thank you again Emmzzi for your insight. Not only did I do the work, but as a maths tutor delivering financial literacy workshops under the Govt Multiply project, the college were paid £400 for each student I recruited, which makes it an even bigger kick in the teeth! I spoke to Citizens Advice Bureau on Friday who advised me to go back to ACAS for advice and assistance, as ACAS are the experts in employment matters. They did also mention small claims court, as being more straightforward and less complex, but surely their solicitor would just contest this and I would lose the £80 court fee? If I did submit a claim through the small claims court, would I just leave the employment tribunal running until the outcome? The deadline for me to submit my schedule of loss is tomorrow, so I will submit today so that they cannot hold me in breach.
    • Ive just checked the tracking again and its actually out for delivery today! Anyway,  I refunded the buyer on Ebay off my own back on the 2nd of June they havent opened a case or anything like that so surely i cant take action against either the buyer or P2G/ Evri can i ? Id hope the buyer would see fit and pay but you know what people are like these days ... Once its delivered I'll send him a polite message asking for payment but i suspect there'll be no reply      
    • Thanks for this update. Let's not if you have any more difficulty – in particular if you have difficulty getting paid back from the purchaser. We can help you either against the parcel delivery courier or against the purchaser

    • 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.

Well here we go, I have written my prelim letter and my schedule of charges, and as I am only after bank charges and interest that goes back eight months I was able to work everything out from my statements, and tomorrow morning I will be delivering my letter by hand to my local branch, so date and time will be recorded and I will ask the person I hand it to for a reciept (better safe than sorry), I have spent the last three days reading over the FAQs and loads of different threads, and they have given me the confidence to go through with this little adventure (still a little nervous though I don't mind admitting)

I wont be handind my letter over until around 11am just so I can check my thread and see if there is any advice and the like before I take the plunge........anyway guys wish me luck!

My prelim letter was delivered by hand to my local branch this afternoon at 12.35 and was recieved by a very friendly member of customer services called Natasha C Fathers, I asked for a reciept and for her to forward it for me to Dawn Pugh who is the senior customer relations manager in leeds, after a five minute visit to her Manager she said that it wasnt a problem and she would send it first class today, she then proceeded to type out a reciept, I thanked her for her help and she said that it was a pleasure, I just hope that when they find out the contents of the letter they will be just has helpful.

So lets see what happens within next 14 days, I have my LBA and another schedule of charges waiting for them to be sent on the 21st as Im sure they won't respond positively to my prelim letter.

 

Prelim letter sent 07/08/06 claim for £600.73 inc interest.

What really suprises me about all this is I cant understand why after all the claims against all these banks they still insist on going right to the point of taking them to small claims court, why when they first get the prelim letter just say oh well heres another one lets give them the cash, they know they are going to loose in the end, stubborn as we are I suppose....lol

Thing is though I'm not sure how many fall and give in before then? So maybe it's worth their while.

 

Anyway I want mine to go to court, the interest amount is £348 and I'd quite like that too. :)

I recieved a reply this morning to my prelim, and suprise suprise they sent me a leaflet on personal customer complaints titled heres what well do.

The letter was from Joanne Carmichael, a customer relations officer, I had originally sent my prelim to Dawn Pugh.

The letter thanked me for my letter and stated that they were sorry that Im unhappy about the chatges applied to my account and that they are keen to deal with my concerns as quickly as possible and that a customer relations mananger will investigate the points that I have raised and I will receive a reply shortly, but certainly no later than 4 weeks (no chance they have until the 21st then my LBA goes out, not forgetting my schedule of charges).

they have also given me a reference number to help them with their enqueries..... how thoughtful!!!!

Well lets see what happens next you would have thought that they would have clicked on by now and started to deal with these claims a lot quicker!

Yeah the holiday went great - thanks for asking...full of kids & fun. Just got to get the business back up and running now.

 

I've been reading as and when I can, I'm just glad that we decided to start with Halifax, seems as though the other banks I'm with are tougher...I like to ease myself in gently, and familiarise myself before tackling them.

Letter printed and in the envelope, I will hand it into my branch as I did with my prelim letter so I can get a reciept.....this bit is a little more nerve racking as the content of the LBA is quite rigid in its intention, biu I know we are all doing the right thing, fingers crossed for you all.

I will update you in the next few days I suppose, bye all
