    • Unsure what would be classed as appeal I first contacted the applicant then IAS. I am not aware I could appeal again as Bank state I was informed that is news to me. I would have to look through the paper work, I apologise I forget so much due to my caring duties wish I had quality time to get so much done. Will try and look tomorrow, appreciate everyone's time and input.

    • Hi, I've been reading the invaluable advice on this forum and reading about the problems with Evri and lost delivery of items.  From what I gather the initial steps after having exhausted every's own lost item claim process is to draft a Letter of Claim, I think it is called and to register with the government Money Claims.  I have got a login for Money Claims and have made an initial stab at the letter but I'm not certain I have got it right. Am I right to assume that having exhausted Evri customer service's claims process and having received the denial of any compensation because the laptop I was sending is on the non-compensatory list that my next step would be to send the Letter of Claim to them? Let me provide some basic details which I hopefully have addressed in the letter. I purchased a laptop through Amazon.co.uk which a business in Belfast sold refurbished laptops through.  They had a 30 day money back guarantee for a full refund if you have any issues with the laptop.  I have the invoice from Amazon showing the purchase.  On 27 April, 2024 before the end of the 30 day period I used their ParcelShop (inside a Tesco) to send the laptop back and have the tracking reference mentioned in the letter.  As mentioned in the letter there was they advised they could not give me or sell me any insurance because laptops are on the non-compensatory list so I just paid the normal delivery cost.  It was scanned as leaving the ParcelShop on 29 April and the tracking has been like that ever since.  After a 28 working day Evri claim process they gave the expected response that they could not provide any compensation and simply could not proceed with my claim. I was hoping to get some advice on whether I go ahead now and email this to Customer Services straightaway and should I send a hard-copy to the Evri address as well?  Or are there any steps I have missed out on first?  I believe 14 days is the reasonable period of time for them to respond so if I were to send it tomorrow, for example 12 June then I should expect a reply by 26 June, is that correct and fair?  And assuming they don't reply with a full refund then I would then go down the government Money Claims site to proceed with that? Sorry for all the questions, I want to make sure I go about it properly.  I'll continue to read through other cases on here so I can get an even better handle on the process. I attached a LOC, happy for any edits or updates that will make it even better. Thanks so much for anyone's help! Regards, Matt Evri letter of claim.docx
    • The date was 3 June. Get on MCOL now. The legal principle is that, even if you defence is late, if the other party hasn't requested judgement, then your defence takes priority and is accepted. You might be in time. When I say now I mean now.  Recently we had someone who was nine days' late and this was pointed out to them at 5:30pm.  They faffed around till 11pm.  When they went on MCOl they saw that judgement had been entered at 7pm. Every minute is vital. File the below standard defence if you still can - 1.  The Defendant is the recorded keeper of [motor vehicle]. 2.  It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3.  As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance.  The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner.  Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim.    4.  In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5.  The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer.  6.  The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety.  It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.
    • Hi friends,  I’m a bit worried I may have got confused with timings here. I thought I had 33 days from my acknowledgment to submit a defence but the date added above says 3/6/24.   have I missed the date?   if so how can I apply for an exception due to my disability and problems with deadlines and dates etc (ADHD)?   what should I submit as a defence?   I’ve had no reply from BW so far    just been back on MCOL and it says 28 days from service if I completed an acknowledgment of service so does that mean 28 days from that of acknowledgement (I.e. 16/5) which would make deadline for defence 14/6?   Thanks! Panicking here.

    • 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.

Well it would appear the claim is 'stayed' now. 33 days were up on wednesday just gone. Is this a good sign? Now they have gone to their own 'LCS Solicitors' and not replied in time I would guess that is helpful? Many thanks.

Well here we go again!! Over 12 months later finally got reply to my defence statement!! Just received notification from Crudders that they now have the part 18 CPR information to hand and intend to apply for summary judgement under part 24 CPR!! They are inviting me to make an offer of payment by next week!! Where do I go from here? Will try and post up letter later and refresh my memory on all previous details etc. Any advice gratefully received. Cheers.

It may help to do a quick summary of your case so far as a starting point for newcomers to the thread.

 

As for the immediate situation, you should receive a notice of hearing, application for summary judgment and supporting witness statement in due course. Post up the details when you get them. You may want to do a bit of preparation by reading Part 24 of the CPR.

Surely, they only have a certain period of time to continue the previous court claim.

 

It might be worth speaking to the clerk of court about this or wait for someone on CAG with more knowledge to reply. I suspect that another CPR will be of help to you here.

We could do with some help from you.

Remember also that a Part 18 response MUST be accompanied by a statement of truth. You should have opted for a strike out earlier, IMO, as CPR 18 requests should be answered VERY quickly – not after several months.

I will check later but seem to remember a previous response to CPR request. I submitted my defence by end Feb 2011 I think. They did not respond so claim has been stayed for over 12 months!!! There is a copy of the loan agreement with PPI of over £1000 on the agreement - reclaimable? There are some bank statements showing the overdraft balance and payment history but that is the extent of it!!

Hopefully this should attach the latest letter from these clowns! They appear to have a copy of the loan agreement and payment history. Also enclose bank statement for period stated. No paperwork to show how or why accounts merged etc.

Thanks for your help with this fiasco! Just to recap a little. This debt originates from 2000 onwards. Consists of a current account with approx £9000 overdraft and a loan of £5000. These two accounts with Lloyds were amalgamated into one account circa 2004 and assigned to Crudders in 2006. They chased me for a while and in 2007 I did make several payments (under duress I might add as they are not nice people and I didn't know any better). Stopped paying and had usual round of threatograms etc until Dec 2010 when they tried to obtain a CCJ for debt. POC were vague and I asked for details under CPR18. I did receive a vague reply and they said they were trying to get full information etc. I submitted my defence on basis of poor information received and they didn't respond in time so claim was stayed as of March 2011. Now they have just written informing me that they now have the CPR 18 information (not quite within 14 days!!) and intend to apply for summary judgement under CPR 24. The CPR info consists of a loan agreement which I did sign, loan payment history and bank statements for current overdrawn account between Oct 2003 to September 2004. They have given me until the 16th to make contact with proposals for repayment or they will proceed to lift stay etc.

 

Couple of things that come to mind. I did not realise they were still intending to reply to CPR18 albeit over 14 months late!! Does this help? Loan agreement has PPI premium of over £1000 listed, can I reclaim? They knew it was no use to me as was and still am self employed? No agreement was ever signed in respect of overdraft or amalgamation of the accounts!

 

Many thanks for all advice so far.

Yes definitely make a complaint about the PPI and look to reclaim.

 

In regard to the legal situation now, I think you would be wise to see if you can get some tailored legal advice about your situation. A solicitor who is clued up about this might be able to derail First Credit taking this forward.

Thank you for that. Trouble is time is marching on! Letter reads as if they would come to an arrangement and repayment plan. I was offered a £5000+ settlement some time ago but was not in position to sort at the time. That also led me to believe they were on shaky ground or why offer such a discount? Many thanks.

Thinking about this yet again. I had a response from the clowns claiming to be my CPR PART 18 response before I submitted the defence in Feb 2011. This latest letter claims to be the Part 18 response as has taken 'considerable time' to obtain information. They also only have a few bank statements relating to the overdraft debt, is this enough in court? Got to make a judgement call soon as 16th is their imposed deadline. Presuming they apply to lift the stay what sort of timescales are we looking at fro proceedings to continue? Thanks again.

When did you last make a payment or wrote to acknowledge the debt ?

 

When was the current stayed court claim issued against you ?

 

In a previous post you mention a default in 2004 and then it appears that the court claim was not made until late 2010 ?

 

Statute barred ?

Unfortunately I made several payments in 2007 (under duress as they were particularly nasty to deal with and I didn't know any better). After stopped paying ignored them until Court Claim arrived December 2010 (conveniently over Christmas). I asked for CPR info etc and submitted defence. As they didn't reply claim was stayed Feb 2011 until now when they say they are going to lift stay and apply for summary judgement. Statute barred doesn't apply I presume? Many thanks.
