    • Good morning all, No further communication with P2G so now submitting my small claims action. Would be grateful for any feedback on my description of claim before I submit later. The defendant in this case is Parcel2Go Limited The claimant sent a parcel using Parcel2Go Ltd as a broker and Evri as the shipper containing two handmade bespoke wedding trays to a customer with tracking number P2Gxxxxxxxx. The parcel was never delivered although the defendant stated that three attempts had been made to deliver the parcel.  The claimants customer waited in for four days to receive the delivery but no delivery was attempted. There was no communication with the claimants customer.  Despite many web chats and emails the parcel was not delivered and on the Parcel2Go website it stated that the customer had refused delivery. This was not true as no delivery had been attempted.  I was informed that the parcel was being returned to me but after waiting three weeks was informed by Evri that the parcel was lost. I was offered compensation of £20 + shipping fee which I refused and after sending Parcel2Go a Letter of claim this was increased to £75 which I also refused. It is clear that the defendant is responsible for the loss of the parcel as they did not act with reasonable care and skill when handling the claimants parcel, contrary to section 49 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015. The claimant therefore seeks £370 in respect to the value of goods plus court costs. I thought it might be better to use the CRA rather than the Supply of Goods and Services Act as we are sole traders - is this correct?
    • No new development, I'm afraid. The last update I received was a letter from the court, advising that the case had been transferred to Croydon County Court.

    • Hi, I am aware there’s been few threads about this already but just wanted to confirm information on my case. I was with Village gym last year(2023) on initial 6 month usual contract they do, I lost my job and due to that I couldn’t afford to pay for gym nor I had any motivation to go to gym at that time so they sent me arc phone message in September 2023 that I owed them £140 so I paid them back on instalments in 2 months time.  Then I started receiving new years deals in December 2023 and I decided to give them a call but they never mentioned anything about 6 month contract or anything, only that it would be monthly rolling contract and I paid them for 2 months and then I realised both months they charged me £59 instead of £38 they offered me on the phone when I mentioned that I am still student, even though before I was paying £43 a month in mid 2023. I spoke to gym entrance lady and she said I should give a call to gym on the phone number so I did and whoever answered said they’ll pass my info to manager and he will give me a call back in 24 hours, of course no one called me back so I called again and they said same thing. And of course once again no one got in touch with me so I got tired of them charging me more than they should and decided to cancel my direct debit and stopped going there as I got new job with rotation shifts which is not good for me as I cannot visit gym after I finish at 10pm every second week.  And now in April I received arc message saying this :  Also they have my old flat address where I used to live. What is the  best thing to do for me please? Thank you!

    • 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 we are new to this forum but unfortunately not new to debt problems! We are currently on a DMP with the CCCS which has been working fine until the MBNA instructed Restons Solicitors to gain a CCJ on the outstanding debt, even though we were paying them monthly on our DMP.

 

All our other creditors have been really good and accepted the DMP by the CCCS. We feel really annoyed that this has not been the case with the MBNA as initially we were making payments to all creditors albeit with a struggle until they (MBNA) put up their interest rate to 37%APR. Which is what tipped us towards the CCCS. We now feel that they are using the bully boy tactics to jump the queue for payment and even though we agree we have got ourselves into this mess, we now begrudge paying them. They are the only ones that have given us a hard time, telephoning us and generally trying to get extra money above the agreed amount set by the CCCS.

 

Anyway, back to the CCJ - the case was heard at Northampton CC and it was agreed that the payments would stay the same as the DMP. However, we have now received a redetermination by the claimant to our local County Court. A date has yet to be set. It is not our intention to avoid this debt as at the end of the day we have spent the money, but if they want to be difficult then we can to (if possible anyway)

 

We have noticed that on some of the forum threads that advice has been given to ask for a CCA, what we would like is maybe a bit of information or advice if this would help our case. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Many thanks in advance

Help! We have dropped a major clanger and are hoping that someone out there can throw us a rope!!

 

We have recently received a CCJ via Restons/MBNA/Northampton CC. Having read threads on this site, we realise now that we should not have admitted liability for the claim without asking for the CCA etc from Restons/MBNA.

 

Is there any way we can get the judgement set aside and with our new found knowledge contest this CCJ??

 

Regards

 

Ian

You would need to request a set aside of the CCJ which would take the claim back to the point of Restons having submitted their claim to Northamton CCBC

Hi - thanks for the links.

 

We have read through Spamalots case and there are some similar issues to ours.

 

Action we are taking:

 

Request to Restons Solicitors for a CCA

 

Request to MBNA for a Subject Access Request

 

Both using the templates found on the site.

 

Our only concern is because Restons have gone for a redetermination to our Local County Court, what happens if the redetermination date is set before we receive the information requested from Restons and MBNA.

 

Do we still need to request for a set aside to the Court - can someone confirm we are taking the right actions as we want to post the requests tomorrow.

 

Many thanks Ian

Did you attend the original hearing ?

If the Court was minded to keep the repayments in place,then it is likely that any redetermination will arrive at the same conclusion.

It is more difficult now to challenge the debt by relying on MBNA being unable to comply with a request under the CCA,because the CCJ has been entered,and also given your DMP in repaying it.

How old id the debt ?

When was you defaulted ?

I'm not sure exactly of the best way to go about this, but if you are opposing Restons re-determination application, then you could inform the court that you are intending to apply for a set aside and request that enforcement of the Judgment be suspended pending the outcome of your set aside application and/or that Restons application be delayed.

 

As I say, I'm not quite sure about how you would go about this, but it might involve making an application of your own, or it may require you to submit your actual set aside application.

 

Hopefully someone else will be able to clarify the issues here.

 

Cheers

Rob

Hi ianjen , make sure that you turn up at the court date, it is quite likely that if you get a good judge that the determination order is thrown out. bring evidence that you have paid payments set by court on time. bring evidence that your other creditors have accepted payments without court action. All the judges that I have come across so far have been very fair if you can prove that you are doing your best towards your debts and that a creditor is being greedy and using the courts to get ahead of other creditors. I will keep an eye on your thread and try to help if I can. The main thing is don't worry ,a lot of people on this site found it though MBNAs tactics myself included.

Hi thanks for merging the thread we will use this one now.

 

In reply to Martin3030 - no we did not attend the original Court Hearing - this was done at Northampton and we were never given a date for the hearing.

 

The debt was defaulted on the 4th December 2009. We made the first payment via the DMP on the 1st August 2009.

In reply to Supasnooper - no we were not aware we had any legal rights i.e. requesting CCA etc. We were advised by the CCCS to complete the summons forms and send off ASAP and admitting the amount.

 

As regards to paperwork received:

 

Default notice was dated for both cards - 4 December 2009 requesting for an arrears payment to be paid by the 21 December 2009

 

On the 5 January 2010 notice received from Restons demanding full payment of both debts by the 19 January 2010

 

On the 22 and 27 January 2010 summons received from Northampton CC filled out as per advice from the CCCS and returned.

 

10 Febuary 2010 received Judgment for Claimant received instalments the same as the DMP - only thing added were the court costs of £345 to each debt.

 

This weekend we have receive redetermination to our Local Court the date to be advised.

Ok.

You have lots to think over now then-given the response here.

I agree with getting everything together to show that you are willing to pay,and your ability to do that.

You have to decide whether going for a set aside here to challenge the authenticity or legitimacy based on the CCA request options will not backfire.

Whats the date for a redetermination ?

Hi Martin3030 - we do not have a date for the redetermination as we only received it this weekend. If only we had found this site before we signed the admission!!

According to the dates you have given above, even if posted 1st class, the DNs were invalid. Therefore if the alleged agreements were terminated as a result of these DNs, they were done so unlawfully, and the claimant did not have a cause of action.

 

You'd have thought they would have learned by now! Just how dumb are they? :rolleyes:

 

Cheers

They are probably hedging their bets-Northampton madfe the orders at the Courts own notion so no hearing.

They must think that a redetermination could give them more.

 

Theres time to get further comments and views-hopefully from anyone who has faced the same situ.

 

At the end of the day its down to the Judge,and we have seen instances where they have leaned towards the other side recently where there have been challenges made on agreements that have been subject to repayment plans.CMCs have a lot to answer for.

 

In one case the Judge asked the guy outright "did you spend the money ?"

are you saying you DIdnt have this money ? the guy spluttered yes-and Judge sided with the claimant.

Theres lots to consider here including the process leading up to the CCJ-were they done right ?

Only you can decide which road to go down-hopefully there will be more posts here to help you make that choice.

If the DN's are incorrect could we bring this up in Court as a defence on the day?? Sorry really not up to speed how the Court proceedings would work

 

As you can appreciate we don't want to make matters worse and this is our greatest fear at the moment.

ianjen, do you own your home ,if so they may look at you not attending again and getting judgement changed to forthwith ,this will then open the route for a charging order, something that Restons and MNBA seem to like.

Yes we do own our own house.

 

So it maybe as well to attend court and see what happens??? We may get a 'nice' judge and see what they are really like??

 

Will the courts give us a chance to say anything at all in our defence??

 

We have sent off the requests for the CCA etc today anyway.

You will have every chance to speak-I have no doubt CAGGERS will prepare you and brief you.

Not only will you have chance to speak in your own defence,but also to ask questions.

 

We have encouraged our Court buddy arrangement too.

This means that if you would like-we can put out a shout for a more experienced member to attend Court with you.

More on that if you feel its something that you would like.
