    • Thank you everyone!  thought to share some points from my experience in court today that may help others who are taking Evri to court: The judge sets out how the hearing will go and how each party should behave; while i was certainly feeling anxious/nervous ahead of the hearing (and I'm sure @jk2054 may have also observed this), the judge really does try to put any non-legal persons at ease; refrain from talking to the other party and instead speak to the judge if you have any questions/responses; the judge and the advocate spoke about tort of negligence - i wasn't sure how this applied to my case but the judge was questionning the advocate about this so i chose to stay out of this; the judge made reference to a historical case of Donaghue v Stevenson which established a duty of care; the judge observed that some of the points in Evri's witness statement by george wood needed cross examination but george was not present today for questionning; While i was claiming 8% interest, the judge pointed out that is the upper limit and that today, savings accounts give 4-5%. I therefore opted for 5% interest which was agreed to by the judge and the advocate; above all else, ensure you know your court bundle and have any notes to help you refer to specific sections - it helped me to structure my answers to the judge/defendant's queries, and point to specific evidence where i was asked to prove e.g., the value of the item. @honeybee13 - yes, will confirm when payment is received. I have emailed the Evri.claims email with my bank details and also provided them after the hearing to the advocate. @BankFodder message received and i am replying to it
    • Looks promising then.  Well done   Dx
    • So a little update.  I sent a complaint to ico and have heard nothing. I just got the general reply email and that's it.  Sat twiddling my thumbs and thought about what I should do next. I searched for the CEO of Studio but then found that he'd left so as keep getting letters from studio about the arrears etc. I thought I'd email the David Twigg. Sent him all the bumpft and a copy of my original complaint and sars request.  Got no response. So didn't know what else to do. Then I thought I'd try through the financial difficulties option on the online form. One last try before I just give up and let them default me.  Then on the 5th June. I got an email from their customer services. That the items that had gone AWOL have all been cancelled. Nothing else on that email, so I had a look in an email account that I don't use anymore and there was an email from the customer service.  That they were sorry for the problems I've had for the last 9 months. That the sars info was emailed to me on 14/04, it wasn't I've kept all spam and deleted emails on that account, they have raised a complaint with their studio pay team regarding the issues, balance dispute, fee's and my credit file. They are hoping to resolve in 3 days but they have upto 56. They also said in regards to my other issues I have to raise a complaint with studio retail but haven't told me how I do that.  The sars info only goes upto the end of December 2023. It has my previous complaints on there but nothing after so I don't know how I get hold of that information. Luckily I've kept copies of every time I've contacted them. Every web chat or social media contact.  Apologies for the extremely long post but I wanted to add everything I could just incase.  I have checked my account balance and it's still minus 900 odd pounds but I'll keep checking to see if it's all cleared and on my credit file.  I'm hoping this is the end of the whole debacle and they close my account because I never want to do this again. Although it's been a learning experience.  Thanks to dx100uk for pointing me in the right direction. Much 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.

Hi folks

 

I received a letter from iQor recovery services yesterday, addressed to "fat boy", honestly! The letter started "dear boy", it went on to accuse 'fat boy' of owing ebay buyer protection a few hundred quid, and that they were acting on their behalf. I spoke to ebay via their live chat and they agree my account is fine, its even a couple of quid in credit.

 

Get back from the school run and there is a message on my phone from these jokers, starts out "Hi this is a message for fat boy", I nearly fell over when I heard it. They left their number and asked the mysterious 'boy' to ring them back. Now I'm pretty positive my names not fat boy and my ebay name isn't ether. They have my address and phone number I presume from ebay, but not my name! What a bunch of incompetent idiots, I have no debt with ebay, and these people are chasing an imaginary person.

 

I'm obviously not going to ring them or write to them, I hope they take 'fat boy' to court, should be a giggle. I've made a complaint to ebay, but not heard anything back yet.

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Well Slim Jim that is certainly insulting :lol:

 

Be interesting to see what ebay say.

 

Would not normaly advise speaking to a DCA but in this case I couldn't resist. Next time iqor call answer the phone and keep calling the peron on the other end dog breath - see how they like it.

The letter did make me laugh, and my mates found it hilarious, only a small beer gut. Its the phone call I found creepy, how the hell can you ring a number and ask for fat boy? I've emailed watchdog, I'm sure they would love the letter. Sadly I deleted the call before I thought about it, I was angry! but I intend to screen my calls.

I had a reply from ebay this morning, which is totally irrelevant, I said it was a letter, they cant even get that right....

 

Hello xxxxxxx, Thank you for writing to us regarding the email you received. I understand you're concerned as you were informed that you incurred fees for the item you didn't listing. I've checked your account and I can assure you there's nothing wrong with your account at this time. eBay did not send this email to you. Based on the information you've given us, the email is likely to be a fake, or 'spoof' email. xxxxxxx, we recommend that you ignore this email and delete it from your email account. Don't respond or click on any links, buttons or pictures in the email. Please be aware that Spoof emails claim to be from a trustworthy source like eBay and ask you to provide personal account information such as passwords and payment details. They often ask you to click on a link in the email and sign in to a fake website. eBay would never ask you to provide personal information in an email or link to a secure page from an email. eBay never sends attachments.

 

Do these people actually read what you send. I replied....

 

Morning

 

I obviously didn't make myself clear. This is a letter, not an email from a debt collection company called iQor

who ebay uses to chase debts. The letter if you can believe it is addressed to 'fat boy', not personally to myself,

although it has my postal address. It states that they are acting on behalf of EBAY BUYER PROTECTION, and

demands payment of £248.

 

I also received a phone call from iQor, when I was out. The left a messages asking for 'fat boy' (I know it sounds insane) to ring them in regards to a debt to ebay. Im pretty sure my name isn't 'fat boy', and neither is my ebay user name. Somehow they have my details from you, chasing someone for a debt at my address which you and I know is false.

 

I spoke to ebay live chat yesterday and they agreed too that my account was fine. So the question is why am I being

harassed by a company engaged by you? Receiving abusive letter and phone calls? This need sorting before I need to contact trading standards and the police.

 

I would appreciate a swift conclusion to this.

Have you looked on ebay - is there anyone listed on there called fatboy.

It could be a case of mistaken identity - especialy if, like you say, you have a bit of a beer belly :lol:

 

Yes I've looked, there is a fatboy, but in the U.S., even iqor couldn't be that stupid. He has a 100% feedback. There are variations of 'fatboy' from the UK, but they have 100% feedback too . Dealing with ebay is like banging your head off a brick wall, and I'm certainly not ringing them up wasting my money.

 

My ebay account is in credit, and my paypal has a zero balance.

 

Very small beer belly :-)

Plus nobody has a real name of 'fat boy' so if ebay did give iQor my address they would have my full name. My name and address are also linked to a verified account with paypal, part of ebay.

This is monumentally dumb, even by a DCA's standards, this is exactly why these clowns should never be taken seriously, I hope Watchdog do pick this up as I would like to hear idiot Iqor explain this!

 

Absolutely ridiculous, complain also to the OFT&TS, and the media/press.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Suggest sending a sarcastic letter to Ebays UK head office. Dear b*llock brain.

 

I would think the emails you send are answered in India.

 

If you come up with a funny letter in response, you might get some press coverage. One of your local papers might be interested.

We could do with some help from you.

That's what I thought, a little abrupt. The bloke who left a message on the answer phone also said, "Its a message for fat boy". Not Mr fat boy, how rude. :wink:
