    • I'm trying to unravel this – but I get the impression that there was no contract between you and EVRi and that you didn't even choose them but instead you decided use some third party parcel broker in the USA which organised the delivery. Is this correct? EVRi came into the picture because they would then eventually selected for part of the journey although you had no knowledge that it might be them and I suppose it didn't really matter as long as the item got to you. Secondly, I really don't understand the journey which this item made. You bought the item from somebody in the USA. They then were meant to dispatch it to you to another address in the USA but for some reason or other it came to the UK and then into the hands of EVRi at which point it was lost or stolen. More confusion here because you now tell us that EVRi marked it as being out for delivery but it was never delivered. This suggests that it was going to be delivered to a UK address but earlier on you said that it was going to be delivered to USA address. I think you need to look at the story. Maybe show it to a friend of yours who is not particularly where the details and ask them if they can make head or tail of it and then come back to us with clarification so that we fully understand. Also, I think we'd like to know what the item is, how was it declared, what was the value which was declared. You said it was a valuable item because it was rare and collectable. I gather from this that it is non-fungible. We need to understand more about this. Was an insurance policy purchased to cover it during the delivery process. I understand that this rare and collectable item be valued at £200. Have evidence this value. This could become very important. Also you have given is no idea when this happened. We need to understand the full timescale. There are a number of possibilities here including the possibility of the contract action against EVRi on the basis of your third party rights or an action for negligence but we need to know far more and we need to get a story that makes sense.   Finally, I understand that you have sent the letter of claim. What did it say? How much time did you give them? What did you expect to happen as a result of the letter of claim? Whatever the answers to those questions might be, clearly you had no idea how to proceed after having sent such a letter. A letter of claim is meant to be a serious threat of some legal action if some condition which you have stipulated is not complied with. You set a deadline for compliance and at the end of that deadline you issue the court action. Clearly you are not in a position to do that so your letter of claim is a bluff and undermines your credibility and it will find its way into the EVRi wastepaper basket – if it's not there already.  
    • Good morning. I just wanted to check something please. The other side have moved slightly and negotiated a full and final offer price to end this matter. I am happy with this. However, I want to make sure this is the end of the matter and am emailing the following over to them prior to payment. Is this enough to ensure they can come back for nothing else? Thanks -------------------------------------------------- Dear Sir.   With regards your last email below.   I am pleased to agree to the full and final settlement figure given below.   Can you confirm this payment will be in full and final payment with no further claim to be brought against me in this matter?   Best regards

    • 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.

ok the empire strikes back

i cca d egg they sent me a signed documment now carter has sent one to me

thanks for any assistance that can be given

im on JSA so i dont have any money my house is in negative equity so theres no money in bankrupting me i wonder exactly what they can do ?

ill upload the rest of the docs in a while

 

Ok, found the answer - I would *seriously* consider bankruptcy - it's not as awful as the DCAs make out, I haven't gone that route but 3 of my friends have and they are now getting back on their feet having started afresh whilst I'm still fighting DCAs and creditors.

 

It's only for 1 year then the slate's clean and you get your life back. If you're on JSA then you won't pay anything week to week and after a year it's all gone.

 

Might be worth getting some advice.

IMHO CAB will just work out how best to pay them. They will not challenge validity.

 

IME Egg will not accept token repayments, they will go for a quick result and then try for a charging order.

 

ISTR you've got a fair amount of unsecured debt - do you own your own home? if so is there much equity in it?

 

It's obviously up to you whether to fight it out or not. You get to the point where you have very little to lose ......

 

 

i do own a home yes and i have a mortgage

 

i have considered belly up

 

its not a good prospect but is an option - second charges against my property - i dont dispute some debts are owed its just how they can be repaid and once i have got these debts in order i can get back to work

 

you say you are fighting as well ?

Some light reading ;)

gh is quite correct, and 'yes' he's fighting as I am too. I have my own reasons why bankruptcy was not an option (which I can't put on here but will happily disclose by PM if you're interested), but sometimes it can be a quicker and easier option.

 

You don't lose your house nowadays either so not always as bad as it seems. And it can get rid of the lot.

Following a dramatic change in my life a few years ago, I also thoroughly explored BR and again have my own reasons for not going down that route (lots to do with my self employment - you can't be a Director of a Ltd Co)

 

If it wasn't for that I would have gone for it 100% and by now I would have been getting back on my feet for the last 18 months rather than having 1 CCJ and a half a dozen creditors and 5 figure sum of mostly unenforceable debt hanging over my head for the next 4 years (till they're all statute barred or 'dealt with')

 

If there is little equity in your property then you will not have to sell. If there is some you can also arrange with the OR to sell your share at a 'discount rate' to family etc.

I would seriously recommend seeking proper legal advice.

 

As I see it and from your PMs you could end up with the following

 

1. manage to fight them all off 1 by 1 winning every case

result 6 years of bad credit rating 6years of hassles good result all in all

 

2. lose 1 or more - creditors go for charging orders and therefore secure their judgements (with interest) against future equity in your property.

 

3. Go Bankrupt. You keep your house (if there is very little equity in it) if there is a fair amount then that can be bought by family or friends at a favourable rate. Non essential possessions are lost. Anything owned outright by another person or a Ltd company is excluded + cheap car excluded etc etc.

 

Go and get proper advice you will be able to tell then the whole situation and they will be able to give advice.

 

For info, your account, if they have proof of service of that Default Notice, would be enforced by the majority of District Judges, if you defended and lost you could face maybe £5k+ in costs.

Your only defence would be the 'Approved Limit' factor - which is bein tested in teh High Court by PT in June and teh service of the Default Notice, where basically you'd have to put them to strict proof they sent it, although if they put you on the spot and asked you whether you had received it ....... they do monitor these forums ........

I'm afraid the receiver will want such items sold at a current market valuation. Cheap deals for your mates is a strict no-no.

I really do appreciate all those 'thank you' emails - I'm glad I've been able to help. Apologies if I haven't acknowledged all of them.

You can also ding my gong if you prefer. :)

There is hope - even with Bryan Carter!

 

I received a letter from BC last week - threatening FINAL letter before court proceedings on unpaid debt - re: Lowells who had bought it from someone else, etc. etc.

 

I wrote to BC informing him that as I already had HUGE CCJs that I was repaying at £1/month, another one wouldn't make any difference to me.

 

I was surprised, to say the least, when I received a letter almost by return saying that in light of the new information, no further action would be taken and my account would be closed. End of!!

 

Nice one BC!!

 

 

Impecunious! :)

I didn't have anything as formal as a template letter. I had to attend a hearing to obtain information last August - the CCJ was for c. £28,000 - they asked me to make an offer -- I said £1/month - they said it was "unacceptable" - I continue to make payments of £3/quarter whether they like it or not. They can't take what I haven't got and, to date, they haven't made any attempts to enforce payment.

 

The National Debtline advised me to complete one of their Income and Expenditure sheets (it allows you reasonable latitude with your spending) - then it shows you how to work out what you have left over to pay priority debts (and what they are). After priority debts come credit debts - and basically they are way down the list!

 

Once you've worked out your budget, you can then find the templates on here - I think they can be found under DCA template letters and offer whatever you can afford. Even if they ask, don't send DCAs a copy of your I&E - it's none of their business. Only YOU know how much disposable income you have each month to repay debts.

 

Hope this helps but there's always plenty other CAGgers who will offer you great advice.

 

Main thing is NOT to worry - life is far too short. Just do what you can and stick to your guns!

seklof, in response to your pm, I am working my way through your threads:)

 

The Default notice does look ok. However, this is obviously a copy against the generic document they also sent you. Did you ever receive an original default notice from Egg ?
