    • Do not under any circumstances plead guilty until we know what we are dealing with. It's a sure way to 9 points. The tried and tested way to handle this is to plead not guilty to both charges and offer to plead guilty to speeding provided the "Fail to give information" charge is dropped. But I am concerned about this "ticket refused" sticker. I've never heard of this before. A "ticket" is not a term used in connection with speeding offences. There seems a distinct possibility that your response was received by the police but one thing worries me: I've never heard of a sticker being placed on a response and it being returned "Return to Sender". t's just not what ticket offices do. If you could post a picture of this document and the sticker it might help.  If you can show the response was received you may have a defence to the "Fail to Provide" charge (provided you completed your response properly). If the police are saying you did not respond they cannot succeed with a speeding charge (as they have no evidence you were driving). But if you did not respond, who put the sticker on the document and sent it back yo you?
    • lolerz, many thanks for your reply and correcting my big mistake, oh dear start again. They sent the section 48 along with the Form NO 6A, it was sitting on top of the paperwork, sorry about that. SO they have sent me a Form No 6A and i have received the court paperwork with the claim form and defence paperwork.

    • Hi, below is a draft of the letter Address: Hugo Martin Director of Legal and Company Secretary EVRi Parcelnet Ltd trading as Evri CAPITOL HOUSE, 1, CAPITOL CLOSE LEEDS LS27 0WH REQUEST OF CONTRACTS      Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing in regards to the ongoing small claims case ____. In your Defendant’s response you make reference to a pre-existing commercial agreement between yourselves and Packlink (2.7). In that, you claim to have a clause removing customers third party rights under the Contract (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999. I would like to request a copy of this contract and confirmation of the date on which the exclusion of third party rights term was included in it. If you refuse to provide this then I will be henceforth referring to that refusal in the claim, including to the Judge. I also notice that you have destroyed tracking information due to "lapse of time" in line with your data protection policy (2.12). Can you share where this data protection policy is disclosed to customers? I also ask you to forward you a copy of that data protectiono policy, and again if you refuse to provide this then I will be henceforth referring to that refusal in the claim, including to the Judge. Kind regards,
    • Firstly, thank you for filling in the sticky so quickly - we wish everyone who comes here would do that! You're in the clear.  MET don't know who the driver was.  They can use Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 to transfer liability to the keeper if their bilge arrives within 14 days - they didn't send it out till 102 days after!!! So sit on your hands.  MET will come out with threat after threat but ultimately will do nothing. Have a read of other threads for this car park - we are having a tsunami of cases at the moment. Be sure to come back here though if they ever send you a Letter of Claim.

    • 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.

Cover your back...Short letter thanking them for the cheque and insisting, before you cash it and confirm their suggestion, the blance of the alleged account be returned to zero and a statement confirming same to be supplied, all trace of default be removed from your CRFs, all three. :)

Thank you babybear.

It makes sense.

t present there is no mention of that in my credit score, but since they threatened to earlier this year I have to make sure that is so.

They must know there is no debt, otherwise why wait five years?

I will keep you posted.

The whole thing has made me very tired indeed.

You can still go to court with this, and I'm sure they would either discontinue or you would win. If you made a further representation to Carter - ie. your version of a consent order, asking for £1,000 and a statement that the account will not be sold on, and that they acknowledge no debt ever existed - and it was refused, then they would be in trouble.

 

The choice is yours. You have a strong case. Personally I would ask them for £1,500, which is half of your counterclaim, plus the other conditions. They do not have a leg to stand on.

 

The issue for you, EMT, is the stress factor. If you want us to draft your version of the consent order, let us know.

 

Do not trust Carter one little bit. He is backpedalling at top speed.

Dear DonkeyB

I would very much like you to draft a letter for me along those lines. Yes, I am stressed, but at the same time I have come this far. I told them when I received the summons that there was no debt, yet they have persisted.

I remember reading somewhere, long ago, that if you contest a bill, write to the firm, enclosing a cheque for final settlement of on account and they accept the cheque and pay it in, that is final. Is this still correct?

I am not sure whether I should say here, but I was told on good authority last December, that BC saying they will withdraw does not mean they will not bring an action again! The writer of that email was well qualified to know.

That was why I joined your site, and very glad I was to do so.

I have always kept records of things for much longer than the recommended five years.

This has stood me in good stead over the years.

I wrote to Mary Kelly of BC explaining that I had made a final payment in 2006 which was accepted, and that I will no acknowledge that there is a debt.

Her reply is very untrue.

None of it is correct, and I cannot understand it.

I believe it is a deliberate attempt to cause more harassment.

It is by email attachment in the form of a pdf.

I would like to forward it to someone, if it is possible for you to allow me access to an email address.

Sent you a private message (PM) with an email address.

Well, well, a real, genuine, completely useless witness statement from Bryan Carter & Co!

And what a lot of tripe it is!

Will liaise with EMT and get the info here asap.

Edit: EMT,

I've emailed the WS to another trusted source who hopefully can pop in and give some input.

Dear DonkeyB,

What I don't understand is what happens to this latest from them?

I have until 9 June.

They have increased the amount, despite the Court extension of time.

Can they do that?

I am not refusing to pay because I cannot, but because I returned the faulty item.

They have never asked me for paperwork copies or details of the accounts.

All the paperwork in connection with this is listed on the Allocation Questionnaire.

The instructions from the court are not to enclose them with the form, so I did not, and this woman has never asked for them, as she says in the Witness, nor have I ever denied having ordered the item.

Can she make me send copies of my bank accounts and credit card statements?

Those things are private.

I have never requested a breakdown of items.

Why would I?

The sum was for one item ,£1,999.99 and if I have to pay it I should have a new TV.

There is only one purchase involved, and as I told her, I settled the account to nil in 2006 after deducting the item which they did not take off the account.

I have never denied that I have statements, as I said above.

I cannot understand why they should say these things.

Anyone would think I had not listed them, back to Nov/Dec when they sent the claim and it was moved to my local court.

Are they acting lawfully?

Should they not have raised this before now?

If I had kept the cheque and cancelled my counterclaim, could they have started the whole thing over again bringing up my recognition of the contested debt?

If it is possible, then they are making fools of the law.

I have no knowledge of this woman apart from that posted earlier in the year.

EMT is a redoubtable old bean and is an LiP. I was wondering about seeing if we had a litigation/court friend in the Oxford area.

 

I'm just topping off EMT's statements. Carter has tried to discontinue with a consent order which is unsatisfactory, and their late WS is laughable. Will post it all up afterwards. You will need a handkerchief to stem the tears of laughter.

I'm tight on time - it will be a taxi! Still not heard from EMT...

 

You may need to be quite persuasive with the taxi driver as they can be reluctant to go from the station to St Aldates. There's a large pedestriansied area in the way. Not sure about busses but I know what nos 1 and 5 stop near there.
