    • You can easily argue your case with no sign on the nearest parking sign
    • Same issue got a fine yesterday for parking in suspended bay which was ending at 6:30 yesterday, next thing I see a fine 15 minutes before it. The sign was obstructed 
    • Hi all, an update on the case as the deadline for filing the WS is tomorrow i.e., 14 days before the hearing date: 7th June. Evri have emailed their WS today to the court and to myself. Attached pdf of their WS - I have redacted personal information and left any redactions/highlights by Evri. In the main: The WS is signed by George Wood. Evri have stated the claim value that I am seeking to recover is £931.79 including £70 court fees, and am putting me to strict proof as to the value of the claim. Evri's have accepted that the parcel is lost but there is no contract between Evri and myself, and that the contract is with myself and Packlink They have provided a copy of the eBay Powered By Packlink Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) to support their argument the contractual relationship is between myself and Packlink, highlighting clause 3a, e, g of these T&Cs. They further highlight clause 14 of the T&Cs which states that Packlink's liability is limited to £25 unless enhanced compensation has been chosen. They have contacted Packlink who informed them that I had been in contact with Packlink and raised a claim with Packlink and the claim had been paid accordingly i.e., £25 in line with the T&Cs and the compensated postage costs of £4.82. They believe this is clear evidence that my contract is with Packlink and should therefore cease the claim against Evri. Evri also cite Clause 23 of the pre-exiting commercial agreement between the Defendant and Packlink, which states:  ‘Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 A person who is not a party to this Agreement shall have no rights under the Contracts (Right of Third Parties) Act 1999 to rely upon or enforce any term of this Agreement provided that this does not affect any right or remedy of the third party which exists or is available apart from that Act.’ This means that the Claimant cannot enforce third party rights under the Contract (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 and instead should cease this claim and raise a dispute with the correct party.   Having read Evri's WS and considered the main points above, I have made these observations: Evri have not seen/read my WS (sent by post and by email) as they would have recognised the claim value is over £1000 as it includes court fees, trial fees, postage costs and interests, and there is a complete breakdown of the different costs and evidence. Evri accepts the parcel is lost after it entered their delivery network - again, this is in my WS and is not an issue in dispute. Evri mentions the £25 and £4.82 paid by Packlink - Again, had they read the WS, they would have realised this is not an issue in dispute. Furthermore to the eBay Powered By Packlink T&Cs that Evri is referring to, Clauses 3b and c of the T&Cs states:  (b)   Packlink is a package dispatch search engine that acts as an intermediary between its Users and Transport Agencies. Through the Website, Users can check the prices that different Transport Agencies offer for shipments and contract with the Transport Agency that best suits their needs on-line. (c)  Each User shall then enter into its own contract with the chosen Transport Agency. Packlink does not have any control over, and disclaims all liability that may arise in contracts between a User and a Transport Agency   This supports the view that once a user (i.e, myself) selects a transport agency (i.e Evri) that best suits the user's needs, the user (i.e, myself) enters into a contract with the chosen transport agency (i.e, myself). Therefore, under the T&Cs, there is a contract between myself and Evri. Evri cites their pre-existing agreement with Packlink and that I cannot enforce 3rd party rights under the 1999 Act. Evri has not provided a copy of this contract, and furthermore, my point above explains that the T&Cs clearly explains I have entered into a contract when i chose Evri to deliver my parcel.  As explained in my WS, i am the non-gratuitous beneficiary as my payment for Evri's delivery service through Packlink is the sole reason for the principal contract coming into existence. Clearly Evri have not read by WS as the above is all clearly explained in there.   I am going to respond to Evri's email by stating that I have already sent my WS to them by post/email and attach the email that sent on the weekend to them containing my WS. However, before i do that, If there is anything additional I should further add to the email, please do let me know. Thanks. Evri Witness Statement Redacted v1 compressed.pdf
    • Thank you. I will get on to the SAR request. I am not sure now who the DCA are - I have a feeling it might be the ACI group but will try to pull back the letter they wrote from her to see and update with that once I have it. She queried it initially with 118 118 when she received the default notice I think. Thanks again - your help and support is much appreciated and I will talk to her about stopping her payments at the weekend.
    • you should email contact OCMC immediately and say you want an in person hearing.   stupid to not

    • 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.

Any advice on the following would be helpful.My brother bought a car private on the 23rd May for cash.Has full service history two main dealer and two local garges , also in May the previous owner took it to a local garage who stamped book and replaced Clutch (two recepits for work in service book).My brother took it to his own local gargage that he uses to get a service ( he knows and trusts the mechanics there ) and they claim that it looks like no clutch has been replaced on top of this spark plugs/filters all look like they need replacing.I know as a private sale he is stuffed getting his money back but can he claim from the gargae that has stamped the service book.In my mind can he under sales of goods act ? The mechanics in his local Garage have serviced all his previous cars for years and he knows they are trustworthy as a loyal customer so surely he can go back to this other garage as I assume there should be warranty on the clutch ??

I would think the previous garage would say that the work was between them and the previous owner though if the seller used the receipts to make a claim as to the condition of the car then, if you can prove these were false, you might have some claim against the seller; very 'iffy' though as it would be your garage's word against the previous garage/seller. It might be worth checking what the previous garage say in case the stamps and receipts are not genuine. Is there a problem with the clutch now?

how can your garage confirm clutch was not replaced? thats impossible unless they remove the gearbox and i cant see that happening when they would have to remove gearbox first !! also filters etc arnt something you can complain against as the condition depends on mileage and environment covered since being changed, but more importantly here is that you have in my opion no way of going anywhere whith this claim as everthing is circumstanstial and any previous work or servicing is a contract between the garage and the person paying at that time and not transferable to subsequent owners/drivers, i really cant see you getting anywhere with previous owner either as the contract is still between him and his garage and i cant see him taking up issue with that garage about a car he no longer owns !! ( would you do that?) sometimes we live and learn with these things but frankly i cant see the point in chasing after money after the fact when it could be argued that you had opertunity to look over the car and have it checked correctly prior to the sale, your arguement is you thought all was good and welll maintained but previous owners argument is the same thing as yours so where does any claim come into play here?? i think its a loser

Surely if stamped fpr new clutch but hasn`t had one then fraud is there somewhere lurking???

I await the pro`s

 

you may well be correct but that would be something the seller had done and therefore would be his problem with the garage that fitted/not fitted it, and the car is no longer owned by that person so the current owner has no comeback on the garage in question, as i said before the currect seller has no contractual agreement with that garage as they didnt pay for that work/invioce

it would be like me complaining to the gas board about your gas bill?? obviously they would tell me to go away

 

but again i also say where is evedence to prove it never had the clutch anyway unless the gearbox was taken out to find out if it looks old or new?

 

incidently in the past we have had people have new clutches fitted at a rate of 1 per month when we discover they have bad habit of riding the clutch and burning it out so is that our fault in these circumstances? i think not even though some would disagree, one old lady had 3 clutches in her car ( 2 of which we footed the bill for) on the 3rd occasion we went to collect her from her home to pay her bill and she drove her car back and with our lad as passenger and it was then that we discovered how bad her driving was as she was constantly riding the clutch and couldnt even hear how bad she was making the engine scream due to have bad hearing aswell, we explained to her politely as we dont like to tell people there getting old and not as good as they once was, she said she hadnt had the car long and was surprised at us thinking it her driving and off she went, 3 weeks later the car comes back, this time with her son who is not happy at all, we explained everthing to him and he didnt believe us so we said we will fit another one on the basis that we pay if we are wrong and they pay if we are right but he must come to the garage when we say the car is ready and he did so, we then asked him to go passenger with his dear old lady for a test drive , 10 mins later he came back and appoligised for everthing and paid up and we then sugested he sells that car and helps her get an automatic

Many thanks for the advice on here...The advert on autotrader stated that new clutch fitted and recent service.At the moment fifth gear keeps popping out the the rest all work fine, which could lead to a gear box or synchro fault .If this garage has replaced the clutch why would fifth gear not connect properly if the gearbox did not need work.Also the garage may have fitted the clutch incorrectly.It sounds like they have used a cheap aftermarket clutch anyway...In the service book it is stamped 16/05/2011 with the garages name and number plus underneath in pen Full Service & Clutch, also there is are two receipts one showing a three in one clutch was purchased and labout total £217.We both know the mechanics at our local garage for years that why we know they are not just touting for business, he showed me the air filter for example and it was totally filithy, the antifreeze level was low , the brak fluid was also low.The mechanic ownes the same type of vehicle and knows what the correct fluid and levels should be.In his opionion it does not look like a full service has been carried out .Therefore im tempted to ring the garage and ask what work has been done surely stamping a service book without carrying out the work is tantamount to fraud !!

Whether or not it stays in 5th gear has nothing to do with the clutch; only the gearbox. if there is not actually a clutch problem, I don't see that you have any complaint and an uphill struggle to prove that the clutch was not renewed. What quality of clutch they used is irrelevent as the advert only says it was 'new'; not that it was a genuine part fitted. Air filters are not changed at every service; usually every other service. i expect they only did oil and filter.

ed is correct here, clutch changed on advery and in your book, fith gear jumping out is a gearbox fault and has nothing to do with clutch, dont assume because you use a clutch to change gear automatically means the two are the same thing becasue there not and even if clutch was incorrectly fitted it would not cause that problem, also synchro stop gears crunching between shifts so again its not a synchro problem ( although the synchro is part of the gearbox), you really are wasting your time here, sorry

Don't suppose it's a RAV 4 is it?

 

Jumping out of gear as the others have said is predominantly a gearbox issue however I have seen it also related to a knackered clutch slipping/catching. Very, very rare though and unlikely to be seen on main stream production cars.
