    • I've looked through all our old NPE threads, and as far as we know they have never had the bottle to do court. There are no guarantees of course, but when it comes to put or shut up they definitely tend towards shut up. How about something like -   Dear Jonathan and Julie, Re: PCN no.XXXXX cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea that you actually expected me to take this tripe seriously and cough up. I'll write to you not some uninterested third party, thanks all the same, because you have are the ones trying to threaten me about this non-existent "debt". Go and look up Jopson v Homeguard Services Ltd, saddos.  Oh, while you're at it, go and look up your Subject Access Request obligations - we all know how you ballsed that up way back in January to March. Dear, dear, dear - you couldn't resist adding your £70 Unicorn Food Tax, you greedy gets.  Judges don't like these made-up charges, do they? You can either drop this foolishness now or get a hell of a hammering in court.  Both are fine with me.  Summer is coming up and I would love a holiday at your expense after claiming an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to your deafening silence.   That should show them you're not afraid of them and draw their attention to their having legal problems of their own with the SAR.  If they have any sense they'll crawl back under their stone and leave you in peace.  Over the next couple of days invest in a 2nd class stamp (all they are worth) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above
    • In anticipation of lodging my court claim next Weds 1 May (14 days after advising P2G that was my deadline for them to settle my claim) I have completed my first draft POC as below: Claim Claim number: xxxxx Reference: P2G MAY 2024   Claimant xxxxx   Defendant Parcel2Go 1A Parklands Lostock Bolton BL6 4SD  Particulars of Claim The defendant has failed to arrange for the safe delivery of the claimant's parcel containing a 8 secondhand golf clubs (valued at £265) that was sent to a UK address using their delivery service (P2G Reference xxxxx). The defendant contracted Evri to deliver the parcel (Evri Reference xxxxx) and refuses to reimburse the claimant on the grounds that the claimant did not purchase their secondary insurance contract. The defendant seeks to exclude their liability in breach of section 57 Consumer Rights Act. The secondary insurance contract is in breach of section 72. The claimant seeks reimbursement of £265, plus P2G fees of £9.10, plus postage costs for two first class letters to P2G of £2.70, plus court fees, plus interest. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from xxxxx to xxxxxx on £276.80 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £xxxx   Details of claim Amount claimed £276.80 I look forward to your thoughts and comments guys! As ever, many thanks - G59

    • 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.

Mollycat, there is nothing to stop you writing to the CEO of the council and clearly mark the letter FORMAL COMPLAINT. As I understand it - whilst your comments may have been noted - only Formal Complaints are logged for statistical purposes...

Best Wishes

Thanks Rae, You're kind, I live by that same policy.

 

I have a long a complicated past, but in short after the horrible death of my parents(they were hit head on by a drunk driver and killed instantly) I lost everything, i was 17, and my whole life disappeared, i didnt know how to deal with it so i turned to drugs, i got addicted, ended up homeless etc, I was a heroin addict for 4 years.

I was 9 years clean last week infact, and that brief episode in my life opened my eyes to a lot, and from that my policy has always been to help others as much as i can, I worked for the YMCA for a long time as an ex addict drug counsellor, sadly working for a charity is bad pay, i do volunteering with them now and then though.

So you dont need to worry about that, When all this chaos is out the way i hope the knowledge you have shared with me i can relay to others and help them, I dont disappear easily :-)

 

I think i need to be clear on something, and please forgive me for lying.

 

My 'wife' is a he, So a gay relationship, I chose to say 'she' as i posted on another forum recently and encountered a load of homophobia, and it was just very nasty and i thought it easier to od it this way, but truth be told im a crappy liar, and i dont like doing it, so there you are.

 

To be honest i love him to death, but all the things recently i guess its just been too much for him, hes 5 years younger than me, Hes 25 im 30.

Im not sure there is much chance of reconsiliation at this point sadly, Im sorry if i sound heartless, but if i am too sincere ill only break down in tears again, hes the love of my love, i will only marry once, im totally lost without him, but i need to focus on this and get this sorted before anything can move forwards.

He isnt the type to sit down and read something like this sadly, as much as ive asked him, i have told him whats been said here.

 

Ive had a long day today, I dont think they called in, my ex was here all day as hes sick with whatever i had, and i spent the day out looking for a job, there were no letters thru the door so i assume they didnt attend, i feel a little safer in the knowledge that i dont actualy 'have' to answer the door, and i wont, i just pray that he wont either.

 

It's Sunday! Thank god, A day where i dont have to worry about them coming, i hope it lasts a long time.

 

Thanks again for all you guys have done to help me, i really hope i can resolve this situation soon and start to move on with my life.

 

Rae, i owe you a drink for the letter and the help, I hope you take up on it one day :-)

Damn i didnt see page 2, will read this tomorrow morning, far too tired now.

 

And yes im a night owl, night is far better than day :)

 

On another note, Mollycat i appreciate you are having problems too, But im having HUGE problems, and would be really cool if you started your own thread as i did instead of doing it on mine, good luck.

EnglishN, have absolutely no fear here. It was a joy to read your story, to see you'd been through the mill and come out smiling on the other side. Clearly you have more within you than the average person.

Lied? I don't think so. Cautious perhaps. Your boyfriend? Where is the problem?

I would still advise bringing him into the thread. His age is immaterial. 5 years younger or 5 years older is no never mind. You need each other. But the choice is yours.

Best wishes.

Rae.

Hes actualyl by law my Husband, We had a civil partnership and are effectively 'married'.

 

Im glad it doesnt phase you, normally im very very open, i always have been, just when i got the homophobia form the other site i thought it may be easier to do things this way.

Trust me, he wouldnt look on this thread, if he didhe wouldnt read it, hes a difficult guy indeed.

If the choice were mine he'd still be with me, sadly its not my choice.

Anyways, today is sunday, and im classing it as my day off, so i will do whats needed tomorrow, I wish you all a great day and speak tomorrow.

Hi Nick

 

I was so upset to read you felt the need to hide your relationship due to mindless morons.

 

I can see you are in excellent hands with Rae and note PT is also available to you so your worries are now only a proportion of what they were when on your own.

 

I sincerely hope your husband will reflect for a few days over what has happened and come to realise that two people truly in love are a formidable combination when either of the union are threatened.

Perfectly said WD. I do have my fingers crossed for a happy ending but, whatever may happen, they both have my best wishes for the future...

Hi EN

 

How far have you got since this all started. Did you contact your local Councillor? he is there to help you. You also need to contact the Council to find out how much the Liability Order was for and how much is still outstanding. Incidentally are you both named on the LO or just yourself? It's probably a good time to send the Bailiffs a letter too asking about their charges as it appears they may be about to overcharge you.

 

Send the Bailiff the following - adapt to your own needs and send by email & letter:

 

"From:

My Name

My Address

 

To:

Acme Bailiff Co

Bailiff House

 

Ref: Account No: 123456

 

Dear Sir

 

With reference to the above account. Can you please provide me with a Statement of my account including Computer Screenshot. This is not a Subject access requestlink3.giflink3.giflink3.giflink3.gif under the Data Protection Act S7 1998 so does not incur a fee of £10. I also require the name of the attending Bailiff and the name of the Court he was Certificated at. You are obliged to provide this information.

 

I require this information within 14 days.

 

Yours faithfully

 

Ripped off customer"

 

If you can you should also start making payments direct to the Council online. Pay at a level you can sustain but also bear in mind next years CT bill is due shortly.

Hi Bubbles, I know your intentions are good and - like many of us here you have Nicks best intentions at heart.

But the joy of the Consumer Action Group is that it is a FREE self-help service run by those who give their time FREELY for the benefit of those in need. I'd suggest to anyone considering paying £125 for advice they can get for FREE just donate to this site instead.

Best wishes.

Rae.

Hi Nick,

Mixed news I see.

Glad you've got rid of Equita but sad to hear about your ex.

Do take a little time out for yourself now and then look to getting your own life back together.

Best wishes.

Hi Nick

 

Like Rae I'm sorry to hear about part of your news but pleased to hear you appear to have put the nightmare behind you. Now that all is paid you can if you wish play from a position of strength by asking about the charges you have paid. There can be no come back on you now as they have no hold over you. If however you wish to just put it down to bad luck and not continue then I fully respect your decision.

Hey guys,

 

Thanks for the good wishes.

To be honest, I know they have over charged me, I know i can probably get some back, But i just dont want to deal with them ever again, It was my own fault i got into this mess, So i guess there is a certain amount of karma due there, So im going to write it down to bad luck.

 

I true as i stand here today, i wont ever let this happen again, I was also appalled by their behaviour, so im debating whether to send the letter about how they acted so it doesnt happen to anyone else.

Probably pointless, Andrex would be more use.
