    • 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.

We're right, you're wrong so shut up and pay up. This mantra is repeated in the hope that many people will do just that - give up and pay up. This doesn't change until either they lose in court, or it is obvious they will lose.

David

 

Thats just about it.

And at this time they really are not sure with a class action possibly pending.

They thought that was all wind,but to many students involved now.

What with students from other training courses funded by BPF all up in arms as well - bigger than they thought.

hi guys, no calls since last week..i just would like to know any updates from FOS. I knew most of the guys here complained to FOS, its nearly 4months gone..did anyone had a final outcome from FOS? we reached almost 200 pages on cag, still we are nowhere:-x

 

At PP+ we are on a similar timescale (company went into administration on 3 February). One of the trainees has been told to expect result from FOS on 18 June. Keeping fingers and toes crossed.

Just in case anyone's unsure how it works, Hausfeld asked me to keep the list of everyone who contacted me to be part of the action, which I've done as a contact list on the fuzzbutt hotmail address. This is translated into an Excel spreadsheet, so even if you haven't sent docs to Hausfeld you're on my list. That means you are part of the group action.

 

Hope that explains better if anyone isn't sure. I understand this is a really stressful, confusing situation for everyone and I'm in a bit of a priveliged position in being contact person with our lawyer, so I know 'stuff is happening behind the scenes' which is a reassurance the rest of you don't have.

 

Hi Fuzzbutt

Thats good to know.. I have not yet sent in my docs.. but count me in fuzzbutt.

I have downloaded some of the files.. but been busy with other things.

 

I had another threatening letter off BPF the other day telling me I am in arrears and adding another £22.50 charge to my account.. and I have to try to stay clam.. no mention of my letter to them.. no mention of account in dispute.. arrogant bastards.

 

I feel like driving up to their place and telling them what I think of them..

in fact i was thinking what would they do if a whole group of us went and visited them.. would that put the willies up them.. give them a bit of what they have been giving us.. we could have a noisy sitdown protest in their office :)

Hi!

 

I've now started getting about 3-6 calls a day from BPF.

The first one I answered as before, ever since, I've either picked up and no one's said anything, I can just hear the background noise of the call centre, or if I let it go to answer machine, I get the same background noise!

Has anyone else had the same!? This seems so strange and pointless!!!

Do you think it's an automatic dial thing and anyone just picks up the call when the poor customer answers!?

 

WEIRDOS!!!!

 

Fuzzbutt...thanks again for all your hard work, you're helping so many people in SUCH a crappy situation!

I thought the exact same thing when I was told my apparently 'open ended' contact with Advent only had a 2 year shelf life. There is a minute clause on the back of the 'Enrolement Form' (Section 1.1 'Term') that states basically the contract will end when you take your final exam or after 2 years, which ever happens first.

I too was told by the sales rep that the contract was open ended - just another lie, although I do have evidence that Advent were apparently not enforcing this as they continued to provide support beyond the 2 years

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone on this forum, I found out that BPF would not be continuing my training on Monday and I didn't sleep a wink that night. I now feel much better knowing that I am not on my own and that something is being done to bring these B******s to justice.

hi all ,i just checked my credit report and there is no sign on it of any missed payments from loans or any such things.

surely as a lot of us are not paying barclays any thing some thing should show up on our credit reports if they where in the rite to try and force repayment?

just a thought i could be completely wrong!:lol:

I don't think BPF is the right company to go after. You have been sold inadequate services by Advent. BPF only lent you the money, they had nothing to do with the course, materials, etc.

 

I think you should go to local trading standards in the first place with as much (writen) evidence as you can - letters, enrollment form, course materials, etc - with a view to them taking up your case under the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982

Steven: I believe the onus now is on the fact that BPF are forcing us to go with computeach and not give us refunds on our fees.

 

We will get nothing out of Advent as they were wound up with no assets to pay in final dividends.

This is the big problem, BPF gave the money to Advent, not the students.

The students are on a linked loan.No money passed hands between BPF and students.So they came up with an out of date, much cheaper tacky

training company that costs £1,200.Meaning that they would generate even more money. They should cancel agreements and go on the creditors list from the Advent administrators. Thats the normal route when a company goes into administartion.I think if this went to court, BPF might even be in danger of being accused of trying to defraud people.Nevermind S75.

Why is my finance agreement 0% interest??? It's 5995 over three years!!

 

so is mine! One of the reasons that my slick salesman got me to finally sign was that he had never seen an offer like this before! ...... and like a lamb to the slaughter I was finally swayed! :mad:

 

On a side note I am just recovering from a horrendous gastric bug the type of thing that I never usually get and I'm blaming that totally on the 6 months of stress I've had with this fiasco and the daily phone calls from BPF's army of pesterers! :mad::mad:

Does anybody have any news from the Financial Ombudsman?! I have a reply from the Adjudicator and he doesn't seem to be on my side. I don't want to do the alternative training with Computeach!

 

Please could you post the details up, Dinky? It will be something the lawyer representing the group action will be interested in if an adjudicator is ruling in Barclays favour!:eek:

 

Thanks.

 

I guess a few of us will be getting a decision from FOS soon.
