    • This must be part of the new tactic from Evri.  They know they are going to lose. They take it to the wire and then don't bother to turn up in order to save themselves costs and of course they don't give a damn about the cost to the British taxpayer and the extra court delays they cause. This is a nasty dishonest company – but rather in line with all of the parcel delivery industry which knows that their insurance requirements are unlawful. They know that their prohibited items are for the most part unfair terms. They know for the most part that a "safe place" is exactly what it means – are not left on somebody's doorstep in full view. They know that obtaining a signature means that they have to show the signature not simply claim that they received a signature. They are making huge profits especially from their unlawful and unenforceable insurance requirement. Although this is less valuable than the PPI scandal, in terms of the number of people who are affected nationwide, PPI pales into insignificance. I hope the paralegals working for Evri are proud of themselves and they tell their families what they have done during the day when they go home.
    • Your PCN does not comply with the Protection of freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9[2][a] (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; The only time on the PCN is 17.14. That is only  a time for there to be a period there would have to be a start and and end time mentioned. of course they do show the ANPR arrival and departures  times but that is not the parking period and their times are on the photographs not on the PCN. They also failed to comply with S.9[2][f] as they omitted to say that they could only pursue the keeper if they complied with the Act. That means that they can only pursue the driver as the keeper cannot be held liable for the charge. As they do not know who was driving and Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person they will struggle to win. Especially as so many people are able to legally drive your car and you haven't appealed giving them no indication therefore of who was driving. Small nitpicking point-the date of Infringement was 22/04/2024. They appear to be saying that they can charge an extra amount [up to £70 ] if they have to use a debt collector. You do not have a contract with a debt collector so they cannot add that cost. You paid for four hours so it can only be the 15 minutes they are complaining about. You are entitled to a ten minute minimum grace period at the end of the parking period which would be easier to explain if the car park had been bigger. However if you allow for two minutes to park and two minutes to leave that gives you one minute to account for. Things like being held on the way out by cars in front waiting to get on to Northgate or even your own car being held up trying to get on to Northgate at a busy time. then other considerations like having to stop to allow pedestrians to walk in front of you or being held up by another car doing a u turn in front of your car. you would have to check with the driver and see if they could account for an extra one minute things like a disabled passenger or having to strap in a child . I am not advocating lying since that could lead to serious problems [like jail time] but there can be an awful lot of minor things that can cause a hold up of a minute even the engine not starting straight away or another car being badly parked as examples. Sadly you cannot include the 5 minute Consideration period as both IPC and BPA fail to comply with the convention that you can include that time with the Grace period.

    • Hi all, I wanted to update you and thank you all for your help. I am delighted announce that after the case was struck out due to no response from Evri, judgement was issued after I submitted the forms and I was just about to take it to warrant.  today I received an email from the claims department requesting my bank details to make payment for my full award. The process has been long since the initial proceedings  in January i must say your help and guidance has been greatly appreciated.

    • 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.

Yes my copy is pretty blurry too. I can type out the 2 paragraphs if you like.

 

CREDIT AGREEMENT REGULATED BY THE COMSUMER CREDIT ACT 1974

I am applying for a visa credit card, pin and cheques issued by Barclays bank, subject to status. I have read and agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions. I am a UK resident who is at least 18 years of age and am not bankrupt. All the information privided by me is accurate, I authroise you to send me a visa care with the terms stated int he enclosed T&Cs. I am not an existing Providian or Monument cardholder.

 

I have read section 22 of the T&Cs which sets outs my rights in relation to information about me including my right to object to receiving marketing and I agree that this information may be used in accordance with those terms, including processing outside the EEA. I understand that you will telephone me in connection with my application to gain additional relevant details. I agree that calls may be monitored and recorded.

Then if they supply those exact T&Cs they would have complied with the CCA request. Thie T&Cs are what you must now demand. In the letter putting the account into dispute, you should state what the problems are, viz:

 

1. No T&Cs supplied with original application form.

2. No varied T&Cs supplied from the time of termination.

(required as per Carey v HSBC)

Please help!!!I have sent the letter to HFO as discussed asking for the terms and conditions etc and I have just received not one but 3 calls to my work. I have told them on the first 2 calls that I cannot talk as I am at work and hung up. On the 3rd call he demanded to be put through to my Supervisor because I keep hanging up the phone. I told them this has nothing to do with my work and he became very aggressive on the phone. I hung up again stating I am going to lose my job. I need to contact someone - anyone to stop them ringing again. If I am not at my desk and they get through to my Supervisor then I will lose my job for sure as I have had several warnings about personal calls to work (ALL FROM HFO LEAVING MESSAGES). I am terrified now. What do I do?

Call Consumer Direct and ask them to contact Trading standards urgently. You can also make a non urgent complaint to the police and get a crime number. Report to your employer that you are receiving this harassment, through no fault of your own and request their support in dealing with this.

Many thanks for that.

 

I rang the consumer group and they gave me the number for fair tradings. I rang a gentleman there who was very helpful and informed me that they are not allowed to do this. He asked me to email them with a complaint and that they will deal with this as a matter of urgency. I have done this so will wait for a reply now. I have also wrote another letter to HFO recorded delivery with copies of my correspondence to them stating that they continue to harrass me at work and I have now taken this matter further. They really need to be stopped as they are getting quite abusive and intimidating now.

They are not allowed to inform ANYONE ELSE that you are not taking their calls, they really really need to have a complaint put into the OFT who are MINDED TO REVOKE their licence, I would suggest a draft letter as suc

 

 

Dear OFT

 

FORMAL COMPLAINT AGAINST HFO

 

HFO - MINDED TO REVOKE

 

I wish to add my complaint about this company to your list, please take this letter as formal notification of a complaint.

 

On xxx date they telephoned me at work (against your own guidelines...) three times. (put the details of each call and time they called)

 

The final call was very disturbing as the person asked to speak to my supervisor about me not speaking to him on the phone... this has nothing to do with my employers and everything to do with the company being extremely agressive and intimidating.

 

They are already in default of a valid CCA/SAR request (if this is applicable).

 

I still do not know whether this debt is mine, nor whether it is statute barred, nor the REAL amount that I may owe after xxx time of them first contacting me.

 

This cannot be fair treatment of a customer.

Is this the fair tradings? If so I have emailed a complaint to them yesterday as I really had had enough. I was not going to put them through to my Supervisor and since their calls were not related to my work then I feel I had every right to hang up on them after stating that I could not talk due to my work restrictions. I share an office and do not wish to discuss this in front of everyone in the office. My work and my private life are totally separate. If he wanted to complain to them about me then he only has the right to do so if it is related to my work which clearly wasn't the case .....

Hi

Welcome to The Consumer Action Group.

 

 

I am just letting you know that as you haven't had any replies to your post yet, it might be better if you post your message again in an appropriate sub-forum. You will get lots of help there.

 

Also take some time to read around the forum and get used to the layout. It is a big forum and takes a lot of getting used to.

 

 

Once you start to find your way, you will soon realise that it is fairly easy to get round and to get the help you need.

 

It can be bit confusing at first.

Please be advised that my time will be limited for the next few weeks.Thanks for your understanding.

Steph, did you get any response from the OFT re your complaint? Has anything else happened?

 

Hi Sorry for the delay, I haven't been on here for a while! I have indeed had lots of contact with someone from the OFT and they are taking this matter seriously. They have done an interview over the phone with me and then sent me some forms out to sign giving them power to use my complaint to deal with HFO.I have sent copies of everything that I have sent to HFO including the letter that they recently sent me saying they are taking me to court for the money as I have never responded (despite me sending in numerous letters to them). They are going to put a case together against HFO and hopefully something will be done about this horrible company and their intimidating behaviour.I will keep you posted.....

HFO just send me the same letter over and over again telling me they are taking me to court as I have ignored all their calls and letters. I have proof of all the letters that I have sent to them and have given the OFT all the copy letters that I have sent proving that I have tried to find out what this is all about. I will gladly go to court and show the court all the correspondence. Maybe the court will get to the bottom of it because I certainly haven't even though I have tried. Hopefully the OFT can sort them out.

Time to inform them that you are happy to respond to every letter (as you have done, mention recorded delivery) but from now on each letter will cost them £25 as they are subject to an SAR/CCA dispute and under investigation by OFT etc...

 

Should keep them quiet for a while:razz:
