      EVRI have lost parcel £300 model kit

      By Strider713 · Posted

      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

      Can I get a Cifas marker removed?

      By LilMissM · Posted

      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,

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

Hello,

I have been reading different messages and see how kind and helpful people are.

I am in trouble and have been extremely stupid!! I know that!

I started a job as a teacher in January. I am a good teacher. The school however had OFSTED not long after I started and went into Special Measures. It is to say the least badly managed etc. as OFSTED have stated.

To cut a long story short, it has been very stressful and I have never worked in a place like this before.

All staff had an email regarding more OFSTED stuff etc. and I one evening stupidly responded and it sent to everyone! I basically criticised the school and the unsatisfactory teachers and had quite a rant!

I have had a lot of personal issues to deal with as well as tremendous pressure at work.

Needless to say, I have been suspended. There will be a disciplinary hearing soon and I suspect I may be dismissed.

I did write and apologise the next day!

Also, my union fees aren't up to date so I can't be represented and I am not allowed contact with colleagues.

I know I've done wrong! I don't want to be sacked and have some job interviews in line. I don't know whether I should resign?

I would appreciate any help and advice.

Thank you.

Can you give a bit more info re your suspension - why were you suspended? Is it to carry out any investigations or are they saying your email was offensive? Also perhaps you could post details of what you said (anonymised of course) and if any of the comments are not justified,

 

#Also go to the union and beg/ plead with them to allow you to bring your dues up to date.

 

finally look at your home/ car insurance and see if you have any kind of legal protection - and read the fine print, you might be covered.

Hi Moneychicken

 

Sending a PM is extremely helpful as the OP would receive advice from an expert, of course this will only happen if they pick up on the PM

It all depends on what was said in the Rant!!

 

If the op slagged off the head and or teachers then they may find that they get more than suspended/sacked

 

without info on the content then it is hard to offer advice.

 

however you are entitled to impartial representation at any diciplinary hearing, either a union rep fees up to date ot not, or a work colleague, assuming you have not alienated them all

Andy

The experts give their time for nothing (and we are all grateful), however, if I were an expert, I'd rather not have a plethora of PM's with links to various posts, I'd rather look and provide assistance when I can (and when I have some time).

 

Reading PM's pointing me to posts (seems to me to be very similar spam) would simply use up my time less constructively than I would wish.

 

But of course I'm not an expert.

Hannah1,

 

I do not profess to an expert but I do run payroll and HR for a company of about 175 people so I would qualify by experience and my time is free!!

 

Have you had an actual date for the hearing yet?- or have they contacted you in writing with the actual wording of the accusation against you?

 

I'm afraid as you have less than 12 months service with the school (I assume you joined the school as a new contract) your rights are more limited than post 12 months service.

 

Beau

Please note: I am not a lawyer and as such any advice I give is purely from a laymans point of view;-)

Hannah - were you personally inspected by OFSTED?

 

I am just thinking about mitigating circumstances etc - as a new teacher you should have been exempt from any inspection and if they have allowed you to be inspected this would have of course placed undue pressure on you.

Thank you for all your comments. I was not observed, I wish I was though cos my lessons are good and the management have observed me enough to see that and also I raised the GCSE results in my subject from 4% to 77%.

I have now offered my resignation which they have accepted but want to to think about.

I did not name anyone personally and there are staff that do support me but reluctant to say so as is totally understandable.

I feel for my daughter who is in Yr 13 at the same place!

They say they may still have to report me to the GTC.

I have email evidence of having asked my line manager for support before half term and I had no response andwasn't taken seriously. They seemd to thinK I could cope with the relentless pressure.

Again thank you all and please keep responding, all viewpoints help!!

I very much doubt they would report the matter to GTC as realistically noone was named in your email there were no specifics and therefore I would find it hard to see how they can justify the GTC involvement nor really what the GTC could do about it.

 

I would write to them detailing your exam success rates speak for themselves - this is something a school in special measures obviously needs - why risk a slump in success rates by getting rid of you.

 

I would highlight that you have repeatedly requested assistance and have not recieved any - a no no for newly QTS - do you have AP support or something equivilant on a regular basis or like most schools is it just offered when OFSTED or QA happens??

If AP doesn't happen this needs to be highlighted as well - also what do they have in place regarding staff development?
