    • 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!

    • 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.

I understand that it is now not possible for RK's to self-certify the scrapping of their vehicle. If they receive this box ticket, theta respond by rejecting the notification, asking for a 'certificate of destruction' supplied by a registered scrappy. Unregistered scrap dealers will still leave the RK as an active liability.

 

Watch out for this!

Hmmmm...

I am in the process of 'breaking' a motor bike and selling the parts.

Presumably, if I cannot sell the basic frame and, being a good citizen, take it to the metal section at our local Recycling Centre (posh for Dump) I must still pay a registered scrapper for a certificate?

 

And I thought we were in an era of less government.

 

Not actally a problem in this case - it has not been on the road for over 12 years and therefore not in the SORN endless loop.

But interesting for the future.

my car was mistakingly taken by a scrap business in feb 2009. the scrap business still had my car in late Apr 2009. i am still claiming against them for the loss of my vehicle due for hearing in nov 2010. in a hearing for judgment to be set aside in Apr 2010 the individual whom i hold responsible for my loss admitted the car is now gone/disposed off.

 

is the scrap business/individual breaking the law by not informing the dvla the car has been scrapped/disposed off?

 

it is currently classes as sorn since feb 2009 and i am not the reg, keeper on record since then.

 

i obviously never gave my v5 documentation to the scrap business and they are not the registered keepers but they have admitted possesion of my car in a letter i recieved apr 2009.

 

Cheers.

Perhaps! All I can see from the current implementation is that the RK should obtain a certificate of EU mandated Eco disposal, and it is this alone that will allow the vehicle record to be updated to show destruction. I've not yet seen the new V5C documents being issued from this month (red) to see what the wording actually is.

The inside of the new V5C is almost identical to the old one. Page 3 has a different wording at the top and a new section 12. I have tried to attach a picture of the front and the changes inside. The advert to the right is none of my doing and sorry included some text that was not intended to be included.

The extract below is taken from an SI.doc

Can always get around this by filling in the 'permanently exported' section. It has been exported to China. In lots and lots of very small fragments after the shredding machine has done its job. :)

 

Exactly what I was thinking. Either send that in or send in the disposal notification. If the car doesnt exist the important thing is to get your details removed from their system.

Do be careful with this. Exporting refers to a complete vehicle, NOT one in parts. Therefore if scrapped, will require the recognised scrapping confirmation certificate from the firm that did it. DVLA are contacting those who who send in the scrapping slip asking for formal proof before accepting the removal of the RK from the record.

I suppose the response should be "Are you suggsting I am not telling the truth - if so on what basis?"

 

Although the concept of innocence until proven guilty hardly exists if a vehicle is involved.

 

More realistically, when does the vehicle cease to be that vehicle and therefore require such a Certificate?

When you remove a blown exhaust pipe? or a broken suspension unit? or a dead battery? or a spark plug? or a window glass? or a blown light bulb? or the radio? or the cigar lighter?

 

I would have thought it can only refer to the part that has the VIN number on it (the main frame) - all the rest of it essentially comprises normal wear, or damage, related replaceable componants or luxuary additions.

I had a vehicle removed from a garage because the mechanic had a rent despute with the landlord. The landlord removed several vehicles in order to sell/retain in lieu of payment but had mine crushed straight away as it had little resale value, Police not interested although I reported vehicle as stolen. I am still the RK how do I stand?
