    • This must be part of the new tactic from Evri.  They know they are going to lose. They take it to the wire and then don't bother to turn up in order to save themselves costs and of course they don't give a damn about the cost to the British taxpayer and the extra court delays they cause. This is a nasty dishonest company – but rather in line with all of the parcel delivery industry which knows that their insurance requirements are unlawful. They know that their prohibited items are for the most part unfair terms. They know for the most part that a "safe place" is exactly what it means – are not left on somebody's doorstep in full view. They know that obtaining a signature means that they have to show the signature not simply claim that they received a signature. They are making huge profits especially from their unlawful and unenforceable insurance requirement. Although this is less valuable than the PPI scandal, in terms of the number of people who are affected nationwide, PPI pales into insignificance. I hope the paralegals working for Evri are proud of themselves and they tell their families what they have done during the day when they go home.
    • Your PCN does not comply with the Protection of freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9[2][a] (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; The only time on the PCN is 17.14. That is only  a time for there to be a period there would have to be a start and and end time mentioned. of course they do show the ANPR arrival and departures  times but that is not the parking period and their times are on the photographs not on the PCN. They also failed to comply with S.9[2][f] as they omitted to say that they could only pursue the keeper if they complied with the Act. That means that they can only pursue the driver as the keeper cannot be held liable for the charge. As they do not know who was driving and Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person they will struggle to win. Especially as so many people are able to legally drive your car and you haven't appealed giving them no indication therefore of who was driving. Small nitpicking point-the date of Infringement was 22/04/2024. They appear to be saying that they can charge an extra amount [up to £70 ] if they have to use a debt collector. You do not have a contract with a debt collector so they cannot add that cost. You paid for four hours so it can only be the 15 minutes they are complaining about. You are entitled to a ten minute minimum grace period at the end of the parking period which would be easier to explain if the car park had been bigger. However if you allow for two minutes to park and two minutes to leave that gives you one minute to account for. Things like being held on the way out by cars in front waiting to get on to Northgate or even your own car being held up trying to get on to Northgate at a busy time. then other considerations like having to stop to allow pedestrians to walk in front of you or being held up by another car doing a u turn in front of your car. you would have to check with the driver and see if they could account for an extra one minute things like a disabled passenger or having to strap in a child . I am not advocating lying since that could lead to serious problems [like jail time] but there can be an awful lot of minor things that can cause a hold up of a minute even the engine not starting straight away or another car being badly parked as examples. Sadly you cannot include the 5 minute Consideration period as both IPC and BPA fail to comply with the convention that you can include that time with the Grace period.

    • Hi all, I wanted to update you and thank you all for your help. I am delighted announce that after the case was struck out due to no response from Evri, judgement was issued after I submitted the forms and I was just about to take it to warrant.  today I received an email from the claims department requesting my bank details to make payment for my full award. The process has been long since the initial proceedings  in January i must say your help and guidance has been greatly appreciated.

    • 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.

I am one of the 200+ employees who have been affected by the so called insolvency. Whilst I sympathise with each and every student I would like to point out that the Training Advisors are in no way to blame for what has happened. They were only doing their jobs and like myself and many others who were your initial point of contact, were completely unaware of what was going on. Many of us have young families and were the main bread winners, now we have no jobs and as Lindsey says have not been paid. I hope all of you get either your money back, or an alternative provider.

Hi guys, i have recieved a e-mail from advent today telling me that they'll no longer be able to provide me with training on a course which i paid £4500 for, I have attached the email below:

 

It is with the very greatest regret that I have to write to you to tell you that having tried our very best we have been unable to secure ongoing funding for the company and accordingly as matters currently stand we are unable to continue to provide your training.

 

Arrangements are being made for an insolvency practitioner to be appointed and I am sure you will be hearing from him. No doubt you will want to discuss the position with him or an adviser.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Advent Computer Training

 

 

I have tried to contact Advent but have been unsuccessful so i guess my question is, has anyone been in this situation before and if so what should i expect?

 

Thanks in advance,

Dan

i have not received an email yet and i am with anglo capital

Hi everyone,

 

I'm in the same boat as most of you an i paid my fees upfront without a loan really regretting doing that now.

 

Anyway the long and short of it is this I have been in touch with MICROSOFT and they are investigating advent, if we get really lucky then microsoft may offer us something to help us carry on with the course.

 

Also I have sent an email to WATCHDOG you know the ones off the bbc. I am hoping that they may be able to do something for us. What I want to ask EVERYONE who is affected by this is can you all send watchdog a email outlining your position the more noise we make with larger numbers the more likely they are to sit up and take notice and may even be able to help us, as, when watchdog is on the case people have a habit of getting their money back

 

Hope this helps i will post any feedback i get as a matter of urgency

I also have registered a "story" with Watchdog about this.

ALthough it is encouraging to see that Barclays Partner Finance are trying to find other people to carry out the training, my confidence in the whole thing has been somewhat shattered and I'd probably prefer my money back if I had the choice.

Insiders claimed Advent and Access2Trade, both part of Anglo Capital Limited, were accepting cash for courses just TEN days ago.

A Facebook group "Advent training scammed us - we want our money back" was launched yesterday.

i've just noticed advent have took the notice off their website! hmmm !

 

Just logged onto the Advent website IT Training Courses for a New Career in IT – Advent Training UK and the official announcement has vanished from the main page! Whereas earlier there was a big explanation at the top of the site. Very odd!

 

I'm so pleased to see Advent appear on the BBC website and The Sun newspaper. We must carry on and stick together.

Anglo,Advent Training, Advent COnsulting and Access 2 careers are all part of the same company. I have been told that Anglo Capital do have a finance license to give credit. If anyone has an Anglo agreement then they should look at their terms and conditions to see if it is regulated by the consumer credit act.

it is covered but as i pointed out all advent companies have collapsed therefore the money is only been collected automatically and who is pocketing the monies because the firm has collapsed with all staffed sacked and there fore cannot provide the services been paid for one can only assume the dirctors who by now probably are holding a meeting somewhere to restart under a different name

I managed to save a picture with the news of them ceasing.

 

Thought it might come in handy with them saying Barclays pulled out so i will be printing it out and taking to the CAB.

 

If anyone wants it, PM me your msn and i can send it over there.

 

I have also kept the Facebook photo's just incase they might come handy.

I have just spoke to Barclays Clydesdale, I explained to them that I had an agreement with Anglo Capital, The searched their database and I am not on there. So as I am not one of their customers they advised me to cancel the direct debit and await any letter or contact to see where the money is going. I was told that so far I am the only one they have heard this has happened to.
