      If the purchaser denies having received it then sue P2G. If you simply don't hear anything more from the purchaser then you have the purchaser's name and address – and frankly for £48 I would go ahead and sue. As long as you have good proof of delivery then your chances of success are probably better than 95% and frankly the purchaser would probably put their hands up as they would effectively be being sued for the civil equivalent of theft. I wouldn't let it go if I were you. It would be a good exercise for you and gives you confidence the next time something comes up which is may be much more valuable

      Employment Tribunal

      By scott425 · Posted

      Thank you again Emmzzi for your insight. Not only did I do the work, but as a maths tutor delivering financial literacy workshops under the Govt Multiply project, the college were paid £400 for each student I recruited, which makes it an even bigger kick in the teeth! I spoke to Citizens Advice Bureau on Friday who advised me to go back to ACAS for advice and assistance, as ACAS are the experts in employment matters. They did also mention small claims court, as being more straightforward and less complex, but surely their solicitor would just contest this and I would lose the £80 court fee? If I did submit a claim through the small claims court, would I just leave the employment tribunal running until the outcome? The deadline for me to submit my schedule of loss is tomorrow, so I will submit today so that they cannot hold me in breach.

      Ive just checked the tracking again and its actually out for delivery today! Anyway,  I refunded the buyer on Ebay off my own back on the 2nd of June they havent opened a case or anything like that so surely i cant take action against either the buyer or P2G/ Evri can i ? Id hope the buyer would see fit and pay but you know what people are like these days ... Once its delivered I'll send him a polite message asking for payment but i suspect there'll be no reply

      Thanks for this update. Let's not if you have any more difficulty – in particular if you have difficulty getting paid back from the purchaser. We can help you either against the parcel delivery courier or against the purchaser

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

My friend had is disability reduced to which he appealed. It was reinstated at the same amount but instead of indefinite it was for three years. Today he has received a letter completely reducing it to low care and no mobility. Surely an appeal decision changed at the end of March after appeal can now not be changed again Can anyone please help?

What reason have the provided in the letter for the reduction of the award?

The decision is made on completely the opposite of what was filled in - it says based on your clam form your gp and advice from a care professional. He was in receipt of mobility middle and care middle - he has mental health issues - everything they say he can do he cannot - aware of common danagers not at risk of aggressive behaviour not at risk of self neglect and not at risk of falling - I am so made he has serious problems.

 

His GP a few years back filled the form in wrong on this occasion it was appealed end of March and reinstated and now at 16 April they have changed it again. Thanks for helping.

The original claim was a few years back, and his appeal only went ahead in March?

 

So, is this a renewal?

It was a renewal claim. It was at the stage when you are put on it indefinitely. They changed the rates to low on each part at end of March. A letter of appeal was sent and it was reinstated at the beginning of April to medium rate care and high rate mobility. Three weeks later they have changed it to low rate mobility and no care. and put it back to indefinite. Surely they cannot change it after 3 weeks.

 

Thanks for helping.

This seems very strange. An appeal within a month doesn't happen. Are you certain this was an appeal and not a reconsideration? When it went up to MRC and HRM at the beginning of April, was the notification of this award sent by the tribunal service or DWP?

They can if there is information which would supercede the decision. I'd suggest an appeal if your friend believes there is nothing to substantiate their decision. An appeal would need to be sent within one month from the date on the most recent decision letter. That's quite a dramatic change after 3 weeks is crazy.

 

I've left an appeal form in the attachment.

Hello again. I had a bit of a panic when I read that! It's so long since I started a thread.

 

Use the back arrow to come out of this thread, so you're seeing the titles of all the threads on Benefits. Scroll down to the bottom of all the mesages and there's a button that says New Thread. Press that and you get a box to type in.

 

I hope you'll be OK now, if not shout.
