    • You can easily argue your case with no sign on the nearest parking sign
    • Same issue got a fine yesterday for parking in suspended bay which was ending at 6:30 yesterday, next thing I see a fine 15 minutes before it. The sign was obstructed 
    • Hi all, an update on the case as the deadline for filing the WS is tomorrow i.e., 14 days before the hearing date: 7th June. Evri have emailed their WS today to the court and to myself. Attached pdf of their WS - I have redacted personal information and left any redactions/highlights by Evri. In the main: The WS is signed by George Wood. Evri have stated the claim value that I am seeking to recover is £931.79 including £70 court fees, and am putting me to strict proof as to the value of the claim. Evri's have accepted that the parcel is lost but there is no contract between Evri and myself, and that the contract is with myself and Packlink They have provided a copy of the eBay Powered By Packlink Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) to support their argument the contractual relationship is between myself and Packlink, highlighting clause 3a, e, g of these T&Cs. They further highlight clause 14 of the T&Cs which states that Packlink's liability is limited to £25 unless enhanced compensation has been chosen. They have contacted Packlink who informed them that I had been in contact with Packlink and raised a claim with Packlink and the claim had been paid accordingly i.e., £25 in line with the T&Cs and the compensated postage costs of £4.82. They believe this is clear evidence that my contract is with Packlink and should therefore cease the claim against Evri. Evri also cite Clause 23 of the pre-exiting commercial agreement between the Defendant and Packlink, which states:  ‘Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 A person who is not a party to this Agreement shall have no rights under the Contracts (Right of Third Parties) Act 1999 to rely upon or enforce any term of this Agreement provided that this does not affect any right or remedy of the third party which exists or is available apart from that Act.’ This means that the Claimant cannot enforce third party rights under the Contract (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 and instead should cease this claim and raise a dispute with the correct party.   Having read Evri's WS and considered the main points above, I have made these observations: Evri have not seen/read my WS (sent by post and by email) as they would have recognised the claim value is over £1000 as it includes court fees, trial fees, postage costs and interests, and there is a complete breakdown of the different costs and evidence. Evri accepts the parcel is lost after it entered their delivery network - again, this is in my WS and is not an issue in dispute. Evri mentions the £25 and £4.82 paid by Packlink - Again, had they read the WS, they would have realised this is not an issue in dispute. Furthermore to the eBay Powered By Packlink T&Cs that Evri is referring to, Clauses 3b and c of the T&Cs states:  (b)   Packlink is a package dispatch search engine that acts as an intermediary between its Users and Transport Agencies. Through the Website, Users can check the prices that different Transport Agencies offer for shipments and contract with the Transport Agency that best suits their needs on-line. (c)  Each User shall then enter into its own contract with the chosen Transport Agency. Packlink does not have any control over, and disclaims all liability that may arise in contracts between a User and a Transport Agency   This supports the view that once a user (i.e, myself) selects a transport agency (i.e Evri) that best suits the user's needs, the user (i.e, myself) enters into a contract with the chosen transport agency (i.e, myself). Therefore, under the T&Cs, there is a contract between myself and Evri. Evri cites their pre-existing agreement with Packlink and that I cannot enforce 3rd party rights under the 1999 Act. Evri has not provided a copy of this contract, and furthermore, my point above explains that the T&Cs clearly explains I have entered into a contract when i chose Evri to deliver my parcel.  As explained in my WS, i am the non-gratuitous beneficiary as my payment for Evri's delivery service through Packlink is the sole reason for the principal contract coming into existence. Clearly Evri have not read by WS as the above is all clearly explained in there.   I am going to respond to Evri's email by stating that I have already sent my WS to them by post/email and attach the email that sent on the weekend to them containing my WS. However, before i do that, If there is anything additional I should further add to the email, please do let me know. Thanks. Evri Witness Statement Redacted v1 compressed.pdf
    • Thank you. I will get on to the SAR request. I am not sure now who the DCA are - I have a feeling it might be the ACI group but will try to pull back the letter they wrote from her to see and update with that once I have it. She queried it initially with 118 118 when she received the default notice I think. Thanks again - your help and support is much appreciated and I will talk to her about stopping her payments at the weekend.
    • you should email contact OCMC immediately and say you want an in person hearing.   stupid to not

    • 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.

Another one of the "upto 6000" of us left up in the air here. I joined advent about 4 years ago but due to family issues was unable to complete/continue with my course at the time, advent let me restart the course in december'09 and I passed the CompTIA A+ and Tech earlier this month, I was there yesterday on the workshop for the mcdst exam with Kam, Kam was called into a meeting as we left and that was when he found out.

I contacted Barclays earlier (2 payments left) who told me as I had not informed them the expected completion date had changed then to go away! Consumer direct have told me to send barclays a letter (template at Consumer Direct - 1 Consumer Credit Act 1974 - Template letter for use when Goods and Services have been bought on credit ) stating a breach of section 75 of the CCA and giving them 14 days to respond, not sure what my course of action will be after this.

I am looking into other channels to resolve this.

May I wish all the ex staff and tutors all the best as everyone I have come into contact with there has been brilliant.

May I also mention the advent students forum Social Junction • View topic - Please Read - Announcement from Advent

My agreement just says Clydesdale on it which I assume is a bank. But the agreement was clearly for Advent to provide me with the MCSE certification which they have not done.

 

I'm definitely seeking legal advice tomorrow!

This is really outrageous. We've been left in the dark and not knowing what actions to take to find justice! I paid the full £6000 in November 2009 to avoid the hefty interest rates and all I got from it is 2 books???

 

I'd like to thank everyone here in this forum for sharing their opinions and information. Please keep us posted.

Hey all,

 

I joined this site just now and I'm a student as well. Very disappointed! I haven't even done the first exams yet (due to personal problems) and I was just about to request it.

 

How crazy is that? I'm going to contact Barcleys tomorrow and see whats happening on their end about my loan which obviously I'm paying monthly for sadly. I'm hoping what I'm hearing is true about them finding another provider as I still want to get my MCSE.

Advent student from Northern Ireland here.

Both me and my friend were studying for the COMP TIA A+ exam

This is totally messed up and I feel like my trust has been voilated by SOMEONE, I just dont know who yet! Barclays or Advent.

 

My friend had went to the workshop in Kidderminster for the workshop, I feel bad for him seeing as he paid out more money for that. But were both 5k in the hole now, same as most of the people here it seems...

 

If we all stick together in this we should be able to get some kind of resolution.

Hi All

 

Just thought that i would share this info and hope that it helps all who are in the same situation as myself,

 

I paid my loan off before the interest kicked in, i paid my loan off back in may 09,

 

I spoke to barclays finance just about 15 mins ago and, was advised that they are looking at changing to another provider for the training, i emphasized the point that the loan was agreed with Advent doing the course, they stated that a full refund would not be an option if they found a suitable provider. (Although i did not ask what would happen if they did not find a suitable provider) they said because i paid it off last year my account would be in archive and to email [email protected] and request info, i have asked them to explain in writing why i am not entitled to a full refund as i am not happy with an alternative provider and that people would not feel comfortable in agreeing to this as we would be wary of this happening again. I also quoted part 3 from the contract "3) If the contract is not fulfilled, perhaps because the supplier has gone out of bussiness, you may still be able to sue us." (thanks to mozzer0734) and that this is a breach of contract.

 

Hope this helps, and hope that you guys would do the same to put a bit of pressure on them to listen to us and not try and fob us off!!

 

thanks Nic

Hello to everyone who is as pi**ed off with advent.

 

I'm in luton and again got the same email last night and was in complete shock. no-one anwsering the phone and only just managed to get through to the gent who signed me up, and he knew nothing about it, and got the same email as everyone else. I am lucky in some respect as i have only just started and only had made a couple of payments. I will be getting onto barclays bank tomorrow to try and get this sorted.

 

This was my passport into a new life and a decent wage, but look like that has all gone to pot now. Just hope i can get this all back on track.

 

I'll let you all know if i get anywhere.:-x:-x:-x
