    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above
    • In anticipation of lodging my court claim next Weds 1 May (14 days after advising P2G that was my deadline for them to settle my claim) I have completed my first draft POC as below: Claim Claim number: xxxxx Reference: P2G MAY 2024   Claimant xxxxx   Defendant Parcel2Go 1A Parklands Lostock Bolton BL6 4SD  Particulars of Claim The defendant has failed to arrange for the safe delivery of the claimant's parcel containing a 8 secondhand golf clubs (valued at £265) that was sent to a UK address using their delivery service (P2G Reference xxxxx). The defendant contracted Evri to deliver the parcel (Evri Reference xxxxx) and refuses to reimburse the claimant on the grounds that the claimant did not purchase their secondary insurance contract. The defendant seeks to exclude their liability in breach of section 57 Consumer Rights Act. The secondary insurance contract is in breach of section 72. The claimant seeks reimbursement of £265, plus P2G fees of £9.10, plus postage costs for two first class letters to P2G of £2.70, plus court fees, plus interest. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from xxxxx to xxxxxx on £276.80 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £xxxx   Details of claim Amount claimed £276.80 I look forward to your thoughts and comments guys! As ever, many thanks - G59    
    • Hmm, that's strange how they got my email then.  I assume the below is ok to send to DCBL, Nicky?  Hello, I am writing regarding our ongoing dispute and the upcoming court claim reference xxxxxxxx. To ensure fairness and transparency in our communications leading up to the court hearing, I request that you use postal mail exclusively for all further correspondence related to this claim. Please refrain from sending any communication or documents via email. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions or need clarification, please feel free to contact me via postal mail at the address provided above. Yours sincerely, xxxx
    • In the SAR, I received the original application, lots of computer print outs, yearly statements from 2013 and the new emails regarding my complaint. They sent me a £50 cheque after I chased them for the SAR after the 30 days. They said they was waiting for me to respond to an email (which I never received) before sending the SAR
    • classic P2G. I'm sure dianne and Lesley will pop an email to you at some point.

    • 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.

Hi,

 

Well after a lot of letters to lloyds on behalf of my stepson, and finally resorting to FOS complaint... the outcome is that ... well nowt can be done on bank charges as test case , etc etc etc etc ... On fact that LLoyds closed account and have now put it to credt agency (APEX CREDIT MANAGEMENT) , the FOS feel that the bank has done everything it could under the Banking Code... so my stepson is advised to phone APEX and work out a payment plan......!!! WITH WHAT?? fresh air??

 

Awwwwwwwwwwww:-x!!!!!!

 

So to sum up...

No help from LLoyds, FOS, Chancellor of Excheq, Shadow Chancellor (George Osbourne), the only person who said they would look into matter if we wanted was our local Lab MP.

 

 

Where do I go from here?

 

Basically £510 debit plus charges/fees totalling £1157 just over last year... at present the balance is £2367.60

 

He has filled the hardship forms out too. Basically , with only Job Seekers Allowance in and living and a couple of debt payments he has £1 left disposable.

 

Do I negotiate with this Apex lot? or should I turn it around and say...

If the fairness of charges are on hold til 'whenever' ... then that sum should be removed from the equation, and therefore we will only discuss the £510 .

 

It's no use going to court as the 'HOLD' will apparently apply.

 

any ideas??

Hi smiler_38:)

 

Sorry to hear about your stepson's problems with LTSB. My OH and I are in a similar situation (account closed, passed to Apex etc) and have recently asked the FOS to investigate - so a similar response will probably be heading our way very soon.

 

You mention Financial Hardship - were LTSB and the FOS made aware of this - does your stepson have priority debt arrears (mortgage/rent, Council Tax, utility bills)? If so did you send copies of the arrears notices? Does your stepson have arrangements in place to repay the priority debts (if he has them)?

 

Did your stepson receive a Final Response/closure letter from LTSB explaining why they disagreed with his claim?

 

Our situation is slightly different in that our charges amount to more than double what we owe and I'm afraid I have no intention of agreeing to pay them anything:-x

 

Yourbank is the expert on hardship claims etc and will, I'm sure be along to offer advice/assistance soon.

 

Regards,

Have you started the claim for the unfair charges?

 

Whilst everybody is awaiting the final decision in the "TEST CASE" you must if you have not already started, put your claim in asap. Claims are stayed in the courts but that does not mean that you can't start to claim. Apex are Lloyds.

yourbank,

 

The fact that his claim is acknowledged by the bank what does that mean that the claim is in the system???

 

SO do we assume that because the claim is acknowledged by the BANK that it is in the/their system.

 

OR that it is in the COURT system??:confused:

 

You must explain to us lesser mortals, what exactly do "YOU" mean?

I would guess that the claim for the charges is logged within Lloyds TSB systems.

 

The best course of action would be to write to Lloyds TSB Bank Plc stating that this is a claim under circumstances of hardship, which would be allowed to proceed with the FOS and County Courts system.

 

Likewise it would be an idea also to write to the FOS explaining the circumstances and that you wish for the claim to proceed as their is an issue of hardship here. Though don't think the FOS would be able to strike out the interest that has acrude here on the charges.

 

As for Apex, if you outline to them that the account is in dispute because of the penalty charges that make up the majority of the alleged debt. They should not attempt to collect on this once you outline this. And if they do say that you'll send them a copy of the OFT Debt Collection Guidelines which outline that it is considered an unfair practice if they proceed to attempt collection on this account.

 

Heres a copy for you to have a read of, its pretty invaluable to be aware of this when dealing with requests for payment etc.

yourbank,

SO do we assume that because the claim is acknowledged by the BANK that it is in the/their system.

It is in their system and part of the FSA Waiver is that they supply regular details of stored complaints to the FSA on a monthly basis.

OR that it is in the COURT system??:confused:

Court stays the claim so if you incur more charges you have to start from scratch again whilst with the bank storing the complaint you simply update it with charges.

You must explain to us lesser mortals, what exactly do "YOU" mean?

yourbank,

 

Thank you for your replies to my queries.:)

 

I also never did Latin at school, but I do know what "EXEMPLO DUCEMUS" means to me and what it stands for, as I am sure you do also, but just in case here follows Latin to ENGLISH.

  • 2 weeks later...

well, hitting my head against this brick wall is starting to smart a bit :/

 

Lloyds have sent my stepson a lenthy "FINAL RESPONSE" letter, most of which I believe to be just pure waffle. The main point in the letter is that they cannot deal with me direct as my stepson has not given them authority to deal with me .... WRONG.. letter dated 14th Feb 2009 stated that he gave full permission for me to deal with this stressful matter. Also they state that the account is NOT in dispute... ???? it's the bank charges that are in dispute... !!! Urrrm?? surely the account balance of £2300DB + is in dispute due to the £1800+ charges ... theirfore is not the account ( which the balance is a major part of) in dispute? And aparently he has not been defaulted, Lloyds still own the debt... and have just asked APEX to manage it??

 

This gets more and more frustrating.

 

Any suggestions were we go from here. SHould I negotiate a payment plan for the undisputed balance of about £500 or just run around naked outside Lloyds offices shouting "They've taken the clothes off my back.... "
