    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • 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.

    • 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.

Right, first step of a long haul journey. CCA'd Egg, agreement attached.

 

I've read all of PT's thread on Egg agreements (and loads of others!), and these seem to be the main issues with mine:

 

1. Approved/Individual limit as opposed to Credit Limit

2. No Default charges mentioned

 

Looks like they have amended (added) the interest rate for cash advances, which was missing from agreements only slightly older than mine (Feb 2005) - shame. Anything else potentially dodgy, that I have overlooked?

 

I presume the next step is an 'Account in Dispute' letter, is this correct? And would you be specific in what you believe makes the agreement unenforceable, or keep it general? For info, I missed last month's payment, and have made a token payment at the beginning of this month, but won't pay them any more once the Dispute letter is sent.

 

If there are any Caggers out there who have the exact same agreement, and are fighting Egg over it, it would be great if you could post up your thread so we can sub and check on each others' progress, and help each other where possible (I'm a novice but hoping to learn fast!). I'm prepared to take this all the way with Egg, got nothing to lose other than my sanity and natural hair colour!

 

Thanks in advance for any comments/tips/info etc.

Hiya I had a look at your agreement scans but they are too small on photo bucket :| I cant read them.

 

You should be looking for the prescribed terms, credit limit, interest rate, repayment terms etc, if any are missing or wrong then the agreement is unenforceable.

 

Just as an aside, a lot of the financial institutions are sending out blank copies of their current terms and conditions. If you have one of these you should be arguing that they have not complied with your CCA section 78 request to provide a "true copy" of your own agreement and confirming the account is unenforceable anyway.

 

Be careful stopping payments totally, if they do find your agreement the account will no longer be unenforceable and you will have to pay :rolleyes:.

My agreements are exactle the same as this so might be wise to compare notes going forward, I have just got my agreement through like yours so I am thinking the next stage would be to pay the tenner and get the full correspondence and then just take them to task and chance my arm. I am still paying the min payment ad will do for now but might as well go down the path of litigating as they have just increased my rate massively and effectively cancelled my card. 9 years of loyal service!!!

Thanks rennuz, for coming to my thread. Yes, I think it could be very useful to 'join forces' and compare notes etc.

 

As to SAR, I am not planning to do that any time soon because, a) I really don't have the tenner spare atm, and more importantly, b) there wouldn't be much to see at this stage. I have been sent my CCA, I believe it is defective, next step is dispute letter and stop payments. I'll reserve the SAR for later, when there is more 'action' for them to report on my file, such as DN, termination etc. Like I said, I'm a novice, but this seems a good idea to me; if anyone has any better advice, please let me hear it!

Update, and some advice needed please.

 

Before I requested the CCA, I had written to Egg advising of my financial difficulties and offering token payments. Having received the CCA, I was going to send an 'Account in Dispute' letter but hadn't done so yet when yesterday I received a letter from Egg, accepting my token offer of £2 per month, to be reviewed in 6 months (I hadn't asked for a timescale at all). I was very surprised about this, but thought it was a good thing as it would buy me some time.

 

Today I get a DN from them! Do they just do this as a routine, even with an agreed payment plan in place? Or is this the first step of the usual course of events - termination, DCA etc? Have I now missed the boat by not sending the dispute letter soon enough?

 

Apologies if this sounds a bit convoluted but I am really confused now, and not sure what to do. Any help much appreciated!

Hi PH

 

It does not seem to matter if you send a dispute letter or not they still default the accounts and act as if it was not received.

 

I am surprised if they have sent a DN after just one missed payment. It might be just the standard notice of a £12.00 default charge which is different. The DN we refer to is under section 87 (1) CCA.

 

I believe the best thing to do at the moment is make use of the time you have bought and pay the £2 p month. Hopefully, there will soon be some feedback regarding the legality of the approved limit situation which appears to be your main challenge to the agreement and a favourable situation on that could be your answer. When we know decide the way forward.

 

The only other issue at present is the amount of the debt and if you have had any unfair charges added on over the years which could reduce it to zero. That would be the easy way out but from what you have posted it does not appear to be the case.

Hi pedross,

 

Thanks for the quick reply. It is a proper DN as per s 87, and I had missed two payments already, three including the one that was due this month, 10 days ago. The statements look a bit messy as I made some below minimum payments outside the (bounced) DDs.

 

I am not sure how to work out whether the arrears claimed in the DN include any unlawful charges (possible ammo for later down the line). Up until June this year, my payment record was squeaky clean, never missed a single one, so there aren't many unfair charges on the account, plus I've never had PPI. By the way, their standard amount seems to be £16 now for everything, late payment, overlimit, DD return.

 

My thinking was exactly like you say - token payments to buy time, and hope for some positive movement re. the approved limit issue, but getting the DN has thrown me a bit now. Anyway, will pay the £2, sit tight and wait.

 

Thanks again for your help.
