    • Hello!  Wondering if someone can help with this.  I suspect not but worth a go.  I appreciate the "contract is with the seller" line, which is what Evri has fed me but wanted to see if someone with experience in these things could suggest anything else I could do here.  I appreciate there are many topics about lost parcels - My parcels weren't lost, until the driver walked up to my door with them and then decided to make them lost/stolen... I'll summarise what has happened.  Wednesday of last week - Evri delivery driver stole / walked off with 3 of my parcels.  -  Arrived outside my properly, took photos (3 separate photos as its 3 separate deliveries) of the tops of the parcels (pointlessly zoomed in on just the labels, couldn't see anything else, other than a small piece of the pavement and a little weed, which doubly confirms it was outside my door as I can see the same plant), marked the order as delivered and walked off with them.  He's marked on the Evri GPS marked that he was outside.   -  3 different deliveries, from the same company (same boxes etc.), but 3 separate tracking numbers. -  Went through the Evri bot which opened a case on each tracking number.  I then phoned them and left a voicemail explaining what had happened. -  24 hours later had a canned response asking me if the packages had turned up and to check around etc..  I responded explaining again what happened and that they've definitely been taken. -  4 days later,  this morning, I get a response telling me to ask the merchant to refund me. I've responded to this message with a long email, repeating what I said, that I believe the driver has stolen these packages and that he took those suspicious top down shots of the packages, marked them as delivered without ringing or knocking etc.  I've said that I expect them to investigate further, but I gather they won't. In my several messages to them initially and later, I told them I don't care about a refund and wanted the parcels.  They contain some sentimental stuff, nothing of high monetary value, hence me going to this trouble.  I only paid £25 for the contents. I did contact the merchant when this first happened and they asked me to wait a few days.  They ended up refunding me despite me asking them not to and that I wanted them to escalate it with Evri because this appears to be a case of theft.  They didn't seem bothered - Refunded me and told me to go back to Evri and escalate it with them? So - Is there any way to compel Evri to conduct a proper investigation with this driver?  Search for my parcels? Appreciate any assistance - Thanks for reading. Al.

    • Hi I have to agree with @unclebulgaria67 post#3 For the funding side of moving to a new area and it being private supported accommodation I would also suggest speaking to private supported accommodation provider about funding but also contact the Local Council for that area and have a chat with them about funding because if you are in receipt of Housing Benefit certain Supported Accommodation that meets a certain criteria is treated as ‘exempt accommodation’ for Housing Benefit purposes but you need to confirm this with that relevant Council in your new area especially since it is Private Supported Accommodation as each Council can have slightly different rules on this. If you have a certain medical condition look up the charities and also have a wee chat with them as they may be able to point you to different Grants to assist with moving costs and your question about funding for private supported accommodation as well.
    • Hi Just to be clear a Notice to Quit is only the very start of the Housing Association going down the Eviction route there is a long process to go. Also to be clear if you leave at the Notice to Quit date only and go to the Council claiming you are Homeless they will more than likely class you as Intentionally Homeless therefore you have no right to be given temporary housing by the Council. The only way that works is when the Court has Granted a Possession Order then you can approach the Council as Homeless with the Court Order. As for the Housing Association issuing the Notice to Quit because there investigation has proved it's not your main residence but you have witness statement to prove otherwise. From now on with the Housing Association you need to keep a very good paper trail and ensure to get free proof of posting from the post office with anything you send to them. You now need to make a Formal Complaint to the Housing Association and please amend the following to suit your needs:   Dear Sir/Madam FORMAL COMPLAINT Reference: Notice to Quit Letter Dated XX/XX/2024, Hand Delivered on XX/XX/2024 I note in your letter that you stated that the Housing Association has carried out an investigation into myself and came to the conclusion that I am not using this property as my main residence and have evidence of this and have therefore issued a 'Notice to Quit' by XX/XX/2024. I find the above actions absolutely disgraceful action by the Housing Association. 1. Why have I never been informed nor asked about this matter by my Housing Officer. 2. Why have I never been given the opportunity to defend myself before the Housing Association out of the blue Hand Delivered a Notice to Quit Letter. 3. I have evidence and witnesses/statements that prove this is my Main Residence and more than willing provide this to both the Housing Association and the Court. I now require the following: 1. Copy of your Complaints Policy (not the leaflet) 2. Copy of your Customer Care Charter (not the leaflet) 3. Copies of your Investigation into this not being my main residence.    As well as the above you need to send the Housing Association urgently a Subject Access Request (SAR) requesting 'ALL DATA' that simple phrase covers whatever format they hold that in whether it be letters, email, recorded calls etc. The Housing Association then has 30 calendar days to respond but that time limit only starts once they acknowledge your SAR Request. If they fail to respond within that time limit its then off with a complaint to the Information Commissioners Office (ICO).

    • 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 have just been informed by the person at my local Trading Standards office,that Wescot have informed them that the trading standards office at Hull has been dealing with them concerning my complaint ,since the 25th January 07.

 

This I find difficult to understand,as the Hull office ,have not requested any correspondence between myself,Wescot or Studio,so that they can study all the paperwork on this matter.So how could they know all details of this matter,if they haven,t the proof in front of them,to read for themselves.????

 

I have just informed the officer at my local T/S office,of this.

Don't worry too much though... TS are actually on your side, whichever end is dealing with it. And rest assured that all the correspondence you have sent to TS at your end will now be forwarded to TS at Hull. TS aren't stupid and they won't be running around after ghosts for too long ;)

Hi Stonelaughter,

 

Took you a very long time to clear your doorstep.ha !ha!

 

I have contacted the T/S officer at my branch on this,so I will wait now,and see what happens.

 

Maggie

 

Excellent... Wescot need a good slap - and TS is just the man to give it to them!

I'm fine Maggie thanks, chasing a few rabbits just now ( banks and companies) but the hopping keeps me young! Glad to hear you're on the mend now, a few croaks won't hurt anyone and I'm sure a gruff voice has a certain attractiveness to it!;) Tide and Tom seem to have been good minders, you are in good company, and these companies that gave you grief will be gone soon and life will begin to smile again and your days have a bit of sunshine on them. I feel for so many on here, If only some of the outfits could actually see the reality of what they do to people and try to help them get back on the road rather than keep putting the boot in all the time then life could be so much more bearable for them - it's like banging your head against the wall sometimes trying to make them understand. I've had it for 2 yrs after my business went bang and it's those accounts I've been getting my own back on, but it's been a long time coming and the depression it caused me can never be repaid. Still, it's given me the strength now to help others so some good has come of it. Keep smiling. Andrew xx

Hi Maggie,

 

I got your PM, and believe Wescot are claiming that you would have received a copy of the CCA from them and were told to keep it safe. This is for your reference, and you should now go back to TS and ask that Wescot provide a copy of the original agreement as requested. The onus is on them, not yourself.

 

With respect to payments made, you should point out to TS that you have requested full details of the outstanding amounts in the past, and they have failed to provide these. The fact you have paid something does not mean you are automatically liable for whatever amounts they might seem fit to charge.

 

As I remember it, you do not have any agreement with Wescot. TS should now get in touch with Express Gifts Ltd. and ask them when they are going to comply with your request for a copy of the original agreement and all statements in support of any claims they believe they have. Until such time, Wescot should not be processing your data, as Express Gifts Ltd. have offered no evidence that they lawfully communicated your personal information to Wescot. At the same time, Wescot have failed to produce same with respect to the processing of your information, nor provided you with their registration number with the Information Commissioners Office, a legal requirement to ensure that they are capable of storing and processing your information properly and securely.

 

Ask TS how Wescot are a party to this matter. If they have been instructed to act by Express Gifts they should have already have a copy of any CCA you have signed.

 

Where payment has been extracted from you under duress using telephone calls and threatening letters, ensure TS are aware of this as this is illegal under S.40 of the Administration of Justice Act 1970. Any payments made were as a direct result of threats made by Wescot.

 

You now require the following: -

 

i) A copy of any agreement made between any party in particular a copy of the original CCA signed by both parties

 

ii) Details of Express Gifts Consumer Credit License Number

 

iii) Copy invoices of all goods or services provided

 

iv) A copy of any authority signed by yourself upon which either Express Gifts or Wescot would rely upon when they have communicated your personal information to any third party or each other.

 

v) Details of the registration number of Express Gifts or Wescot with the Information Commissioners Office.

 

Without having sight of the CCA, why are TS dealing with a third party?

 

They should go directly to Express Gifts and get the above information, together with copies of all correspondence. Wescot are not a party to this contract, they have simply been instructed.

 

Please feel free to forward this to them and the fact that you are still in ill health.

Hi Tide,

Studio sent a letter to T/S with a copy of a specimen credit agreement and it is Studio who state that the signed agreement would already be in my possession as it is sent out with the first order,and they also state in the letter to T/S that to acknowledge approval of the goods ,I was asked to sign the agreement and keep it safe,and they have also stated that I have made payments towards the account myself.(can,t remember signing any agreement including the ppi I was supposed to have asked for?)

 

T/S then says that a credit agreement is only executed if it is signed by both parties,but if payments are made towards an outstanding amount,then unfortunately the debt is legally admitted by the person making the payments i.e. me .

 

HELP!

Tide,

I will scan your reply to me ,and send it to T/S ,s.

Would that be ok.?

 

If I could scream without croaking,I WOULD.

 

Maggie xx

 

Just had a thought,will have to check back thru my paperwork,but I am sure that Wescot have stated in black and white ,that there is no agreement,so they will refer the account back to Studio.

I will also scan in the letter I received last Novemeber from Studio,the same time as they sent statements in reply to my S.A.R. and send it to you Tide,on second thoughts,I will find the letter and post it here.

That is absolute nonsense. You were bullied into making payments. If they don't have a copy of an EXECUTED* agreement regulated under the Consumer Credit Act then they have NOTHING and must return all monies paid.

 

*EXECUTED = signed by BOTH PARTIES.

Ok ,as promised ,here is the letter I received from Studio with my statements.

Please find enclosed the full trading statement of your account.

I would be most grateful if you could please clarify if this is sufficient for your requirements or if you require further documentation.

 

I trust this is to your satisfaction and assure you of our best attention at all times Dated 27th November.

No Maggie,

 

This is not acceptable. I am conscious about your position and think it would be a good idea to put this back with TS - we have requested all of this information in the past and they are now out of time.

 

They had 40 days from the time of your original SAR, and instead of providing the information they are lawfully obligated to do so, they decided to bombard you with threats including the tel calls.

 

Point out to TS that you have no agreement with Wescot, and ask them to deal directly with Express Gifts.

 

We want a copy of an agreement upon which they would intend to rely should they seek to enforce any of their claims.

 

Put up or shut up.

 

Then we'll go after their rights to process / provide your information to a company who have thus far failed to provide their registration no. with the ICO which enables them to process ANYBODY'S data.

 

If I promise to calm down will you?

 

Can you send a copy of my post to TS and see how they come back, I don't think this has been looked at thoroughly enough.

Quite so Tide. And to say that because she's made some payments she owes it all?!?!? Nonsense. By all means she could admit the original debt if they can produce some relevant paperwork to show that she is legally bound by it; but not the unlawful charges and not whatever crap that Wescot have added to it. I'm not sure that TS are really on her side, here. Not the way they should be. I would want to challenge this statement of theirs that she "admits" liability by demanding that they show the legal precedent or the Law they are relying on.

Where would I be,and what on earth would I do without you guys?

 

 

I will forward your previous reply Tide,to trading standards,and also ask if he would forward it to the office at Hull,whom Wescot state ,are dealing with them.

 

My CCA request to Wescot was up in Oct/Nov. last year,and the DPA request time limit was up for Wescot,on November 17th 2006..I have received no correspondence on either of these.

 

The CCA request to Studio cards has not been replied to either,and that was requested 06/11/06.

 

Just looking back through all my paperwork,it seems that Studio have/are misleading T/S and/or myself,as in a letter dated 2/10/2006 from Wescot ,they state the following.=

 

We can advise you that you have NOT signed an agreement,therefore a copy is not available in this instance.

 

The next paragraph is really interesting.It says=

 

NO AGREEMENT IS REQUIRED TO ACCEPT THE GOODS!!!!!!!

 

Should you have any further queries concerning the account,please contact our client direct.

 

 

A second letter received from Wescot dated 10/11/06

 

We can confirm that as a consequence of the query you raised,the above account has been returned to our client.

 

What does this mean? (THEIR WORDS NOT MINE)We have closed the debt on our computer system and returned the account to our client.

 

No further action will be taken by Wescot credit services Ltd. to recover the above account.

 

All the above and more,were sent to my local Trading standards office.so I am unable to fathom how they arrived at the conclusion they have.
