    • Thank you both for your expert knowledge and understanding. You're fighting the good fight by standing up for people like me and others with limited knowledge of this stuff. I thank you. I know all my DVLA details are good. I recently (last year) renewed my license, and my car's V5 is current with the correct details; the same is valid for my partner. I'll continue to ignore the love letters 😂 and won't let it bother either me or my partner.  I'll revisit this post if/when I get a letter of claim.  F**k ém.

    • 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.

    • 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 guys

 

I attended a work focussed interview last month and I have another one on wednesday (6 sessions I believe.)

 

I was told that I had to find voluntary work (part-time) within 6 months and full paid work within 9 months otherwise I would lose my benefits.

 

But early this year, I had an atos medical and was deemed unfit for work. I am on esa and middle rate of dla.

 

I was under the impression that the personal advisers are there to help me, and not to threaten me to find work before I'm well enough.

 

I suffer from a mental health condition, and my therapist has said that finding work before I have completed my treatment would be extremely detrimental to my condition. He has even put this in a 16 page report which I'm taking to the job centre on wednesday.

 

I'm left feeling very worried and confused. This situation is not helping me at all. Can anyone offer any advice? thanks

Hi, firstly i'm no expert, i been through all 6 of my WFI's but my case is different because i failed( or is that passed) my medical, so mines going to appeal.

First question which springs to mind is, did the ATOS dr give a time frame of when he/she judged you'd be fit to go back to work? if they did, has this time elapsed? if not then i would complian very strongly about the "advisors" actions.

As for (compulsory) voluntery work WTF? i think the clue is in the title really! I would really like to see which document has made voluntery work compulsory :smile:.

I can't really say much else but i think that the above should give you some ammo for the next "interview" and if all else fails you must not forget that you have a duty to inform any potential employer about anything which may have a baring on your ability to safely and reliably do a job, if you know what i mean:madgrin:. Somehow when i do this i never get invited for an interview :jaw:

Rbs £114 + contractual at 29.84% I won total=£125 no laughing it's a win

Don't moan about it DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT :D

No they didnt. They just said I was deemed unfit for work. Can these people at the WFI's force me to go back to work under threat of losing my benefits? Like I said before, my psychotherapist feels that returning to work at this stage would have a serious adverse affect on my condition, but I told the adviser this last time and they refused to listen.

 

thanks.

Hello there. I hope I'm not mixing up benefits, but it may depend which group you've been recommended for by the lovely Atos. Do you know which one you're in?

 

As regards the voluntary work, you may need to wait for one of our experts to come along. With the best will in the world, Hadenough [hello to you] and I are claimants rather than people who've worked with the system. I hope someone will be along later with some more comments for you.

 

My best, HB

Illegitimi non carborundum

I am currently attending A4E pathways to work interviews after being signed off by ATOS for another 18 months minimum :jaw:

 

Talk about a waste of taxpayers money, surely they should've waited until my 18 months was up?

 

Subscribing anyway

It's the government penalising the genuinely sick and disabled yet again. Most of us do want to work, but we are simply just not well enough, but I think they believe are all just "work-shy" which is not the case.

Just wanted to say, i was supposed to start all these interviews under the labour govt so it's not just this govt to blame lol

Terrible Firm that A4e - Poverty Pimps - just look them up on You Tube ...you'd probably want to strangle that Hayley Taylor with those scarves she wears round her neck

 

New Labour did let the Genie out of the bottle - Cameron says that Labour's plans were " half hearted " ....they get their hysterical rags like The Daily Sieg Heil & Murdoch's comic to stir it up ....Divide & Conquer to divert attention away from corruption & incompetence .

I was so angry how that woman treated the vulnerable pushing sick or others into work without proper care and training expect them to just take any job as long as they can cross their jobless list how I wish I can meet her she'll sure watch her step with me.

Yes I saw that programme - they got them all working at " Poundland " , that's the [problem] they use ; ASDA is also involved , their top brass backed the cuts , OK they'll take a few on only because it's been on the telly , all good PR ; but usually they sack them off after a month .

 

There was a comment on Digital Spy re the woman that was coming in smelling like a distillery / brewery - " At least she's now a smart alcoholic " - The point is Hayley Taylor is NOT trained / qualified to deal with complicated & involved problems like addiction . What she's doing is bush medicine , & her ignorance can do more harm than good .

 

There was all this Sales Talk about caterpillars and butterflies , a few women wanted Sherrie & Hayley to fly away too in a manner of speaking ....another said if she ( Hayley ) spoke to me like that , I'd knock her teeth so far down her throat , they'd eventually end up in the toilet pan . Not to mention comments about too many pies , chips , burgers & cakes too .

 

I think there was a middle class woman with a degree , her marriage had broken down & fallen on hard times . Hayley got her a job in the care profession ....translated from corporate speak into English it means wiping ars** and mopping up effluent .

 

There's also been the carrot sending people on these courses run by Quacks & Charlatans to supposedly boost esteem & confidence etc http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuro-linguistic_programming ....they'll be all right , they'll stay in work on a good number ! .

 

They do not need their heads filling with all this American Psycho Babble ....they've enough problems ! ....there's also these motivation courses ....all this positive thinking stuff is fine to a point .....but the other agenda is getting ideas out of your head that you've taken a shafting with no KJ or had no sugar to swallow sh** with .....i.e. the " deserving poor " that "play the game" and don't give their " betters " a problem .

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucwniJCVcuM&feature=related

 

They're hoping people are too thick to see this .

 

Another cow ! [video=youtube;a-XAZDdK3PI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-XAZDdK3PI&feature=related

 

Sherrie ....these are real people .....you're not selling double glazing ! and you're not a Doctor nor is everything in The Daily Mail / Express gospel ....shock horror

 

She tried to get them all sales jobs .....if sales was so good Sherrie .....why don't you go back to it ?? no she won't because she's on a good number with The Shaw Trust in a nice office , not tramping the streets in the pouring rain knocking on doors and getting told to **** off ! .....that'll do their confidence good !

 

To be a saleswoman Sherrie had to be a right pushy cow with more faces than a town hall clock and thick skinned ....unfortunately some of them aren't cut out for it .....there's also a high turnover & why ??? are they recruiting ?

 

They wheeled Hayley out on the telly again ...she'd " left " A4e .....and there was the sycophantic articles in The Sun ....amazing how people suddenly find work when there's a camera crew behind them .

 

You really are going to get a job looking through old copies of Pornographer Dirty Desmond's " Daily Star " that just happens to only cost 25p ....unless people fancy being Sex Line Operators for " Ring this number from work & get the sack " ..." My knickers are wet ...I must put them in the tumble drier 0898 666 666 " or going on the game as an escort / doing " modelling " / " films " or fighting with another 15 of you for some PC running Windows 95 they've recovered from a skip / bought from the Car Boot Sale on 56kb Dial Up Modem

good point ! - there are daft ones that will do anything to go on telly & are too thick to realise they're having the rise taken out of them ....but if you ended up in The Sun ...you'd get so much stick ....so yeah suspicious
