    • 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.

    • 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.

Hi, Heidi! Sorry, as you rightly gathered, I have been busy busy busy (holidays? What's that? Oh yeah, that's the time where my brats are actually diverting me from this site, lol)

 

Prelim hearing? Yeah, there's a few of them around. But what for, who knows... I suspect he might be on the ball and try to force a faster settlement from the bank, he might want to decide about standard disclosure... There could be a range of reasons why. Don't let it worry you.

 

Remember you can always call the court and ask them what it means, they are usually very helpful and will reassure you where they can.

 

Try to arrange to visit the court, see if you can sit in on a hearing, it makes all the difference if you can see for yourself that it is nothing like what we imagine (Old Bailey's, long black gowns, horsehair wigs, etc... NOTHING like that, lol!!!)

 

Making a note in my diary now ;-)

 

You def need your diary- is a long way off. I have all my court bundles ready and will drop off before I go away. I will call the court also and ask about the Prelim hearing.

 

As for sitting in on court.. I did jury service this year...hah! I def now my way around the procedure so won't be intimidated. Wow, who would have thought jury service came in handy?!

 

And, busy mum, enjoy your cash (FROM YOUR WIN!!!!!!) and treat yourself... you deserve it!;-)

Well, called the court today and asked what a prelim hearing is. The lady said it is an informal chat before the court hearing takes place. I asked if I need to send my docs to the court (cause I am going away for a while) and she said there is no need to do that. But, I think I will anyway - as I have gone to all the trouble and I am moving house etc... I would not want my 353 page doc to get lost!!!

Hi - long time no speak!

 

I contacted Rebecca Connolly the other day and asked if barclays wanted to settle before the court date and the reply was 'That is the idea'... always good to hear! She also siad that Celyn Evans is dealing with my case.

 

Anyway, I left my email address (as I am away at the moment) and they haven't come back to me. Does anyone know his (Celyn Evans) email address? I will try calling him Monday anyway, but wanted to leave an email.

Hello Bookworm

 

No, I haven't heard :rolleyes: .

 

I called Celyn Evans the other day and asked if Rebecca Connolly passed on my details as I am away etc etc and he said 'yes, I have your email address etc and will be in contact'.

 

Still not heard and that must have been nearly 2 weeks ago. I am not going to reply to my email in a hurry when I do eventually get it:p

 

Anyway Bookworm, you have a wonderful xmas too with your family and I WILL be contacting you in due course as to the good news!!

 

Take care

Hi HeidiK

 

Its been a while since I've been on this site, but this week has seen a flurry of activity from the courts. I first recieved a letter asking for me to send a schedule of charges etc, and to have them at the court (either though I've sent them already) by the 7th January. Then they stated that Barclays have until the beginning of February to reply before a court date will be issued.

 

I now have recieved a letter giving me a court date of 23rd January! You mention about a court bundle, is this similar to the one suggested in the FAQ's, or have you added your own stuff? (Just need to get one prepared as knowing my luck it'll go all the way.)

 

Cheers...

Hello jigr69

 

I have sent the court and barclays numerous copies of the schedule of charges (with EVERY single letter and when lodging moneyclaim form). The courts then gave me a date but it is not a hearing it is more of a mediation meeting. I think they are calling the banks bluff... they obviously know the banks have had many cases against them which effectively waste courts time by settling before the court date.

 

I sent my court bundle in November (courts commented on how organised I was!). It is the one in the FAQ and the one theat Jonni2bad states and the lovely Bookworm states a lady whose site came in very handy for the court bundle.

 

I hope this helps?! Goodluck with everything.

Hello All!

 

Long time no chat ;) ! Well, seems the pressure of it all at Barclays has made Mr Celyn Evans quit? I now am dealing with Kyrsta Campbell. Good news... they have made an offer. Not the full amount I was wanting but pretty good. My circumstances have changed (I am pregnant) so I would prefer as little stress as poss! I have accepted their offer but I will not get excited until it is in my account.

 

They actually sent me a letter to my home address but alas, I informed Mr Evans on many occasions that I am away from November to 20 January hence, email me. My hubby got home and saw the letter with the offer and I got on to them. Incompetence? I certainly let them know bout it anyway :D .

 

I will inform you all when I have WON!!!

Wow, he didn't last long, did he??? :shock:

 

I swear we're wearing them down one by one!!! :-D

 

Heidi, well done. You do know if you'd held out, you'd have got the full amount, don't you?... Still, you must do what's best for you.

 

Congratulations on the pregnancy as well, that's what I call a double whammy, talk of growth and prosperity! :lol:

Hi Bookworm

 

Long time no speak hey! I know I would have got the full amount but I really can't be bothered... I have such bad monring sickness I have not been able to get the the PC lately?!

 

My hubby sent the form back (joint account) and under my strict instructions he crossed out the confidentiality term and stated clearly we will not be calling the court as to the settlement until all money is in the account. So they should get it Thursday. I am also in Australia so it makes the whole process so drawn out.

 

Bring on 7 months!
