    • The defendant in this case is Parcel2Go.com Limited The claimant sent a parcel using Parcel2Go Ltd as a broker and Evri as the shipper via the Defendant's service containing which contained two handmade bespoke wedding trays to a customer with  under  tracking number P2Gxxxxxxxx. The parcel was never delivered although the defendant stated that three attempts had been made to deliver the parcel.  The claimants customer waited in for four days to receive the delivery but no delivery was attempted. There was no communication with the claimants customer.  Despite many web chats and emails the parcel was not delivered and on the Parcel2Go website it stated that the customer had refused delivery. This was not true as no delivery had been attempted.  I was The Defendant informed me that the parcel was being returned to me but after waiting three weeks I was informed by the courier that the parcel was lost. I was offered compensation of £20 + shipping fee which I refused and after sending Parcel2Go a Letter of claim this was increased to £75 which I also refused. The Claimant did not purchase the Defendant's insurance policy as requiring people to pay extra for rights already guaranteed under the consumer rights act 2015 is contrary to section 57 and 72 and therefore unenforceable. The Claimant rejected the Defendant's standard compensation offer. It is clear that the defendant is responsible for the loss of the parcel as they did not act with reasonable care and skill when handling the claimants parcel, contrary to section 49 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015.   By failing to ensure the safe delivery of the Claimant's parcel the Defendant breached section 49 of the CRA 2015.   AND THE CLAIMANT CLAIMS £370.00 being the value of the lost goods £xx.xx being the price of shipping and interest pursuant to s69 cca 1984.   See what BF thinks but I think something like this is better. Remember you are suing P2G not evri.
    • I disagree with the charge and also the statements sent. Firstly I have not received any correspondence from DVLA especially a statutory notice dated 2/5/2024 or a notice 16/5/2024 voiding my licence if I had I would have responded within this timeframe. The only letter received was the single justice procedure notice dated the 29.5.2024 this was received on 4.6.2024. I also disagree with the statement that tax was dishonoured through invalid indemnity claim. I disagree that the licence be voided I purchased the vehicle in Jan 2024 from RDA car sales Pontefract with agreement to collect the car on the 28.1.2024. The garage taxed the vehicle on the 25.1.24 for eleven payments on direct debit  using my debit card on my behalf. £62.18 was the initial payment on 8.2.24  and £31 per month thereafter the second payment was 1.3.24.This would run from Jan 24 to Dec 24 and a total of £372.75, therefore the car was clearly taxed before  I took the car away After checking one of my vehicle apps  I could see the vehicle was showing as untaxed it later transpired that DVLA had cancelled my tax , without reason and I did not receive any correspondence from DVLA to state why it was cancelled or when. The original payment of £62.18 had gone through and verified by my bank Lloyds so this payment was not declined. I then set up the direct debit again straight away at my local post office branch on 15.2.2024 the first payment was £31 on 1.3.2024 and subsequent payments up to Feb 2025 with a total of £372.75 which was the same total as the original DD that was set up in Jan, Therefore I claimed the £62.18 back from my bank as an indemnity claim as this payment was from the original cancelled tax from DVLA and had been cancelled . I have checked my bank account at Lloyds and every payment since Jan 24  up to date has been taken with none rejected as follows: 8.2.24 - £62.15 1.3.24 - £31.09 2.4.24 - £31.06 1.5.24 - £31.06 3.6.23-£31.06 I have paper copies of the original DD set up conformation plus a breakdown of payments per month , and a paper copy of the second DD setup with breakdown of payments plus a receipt from the post office.I can also provide bank statements showing each payment to DVLA I also ask that my licence be reinstated due to the above  
    • You know hes had it when they call out those willing to say anything even claiming tories have reduced taxes on live tv AS Salmonella says: The Conservative Party must embrace Nigel Farage to “unite the right”, Suella Braverman has urged, following a disastrous few days for Rishi Sunak. The former home secretary told The Times there was “not much difference” between the new Reform UK leader’s policies and those of the Tories, as senior Conservatives start debating the future of the party. hers.   AND Goves replacement gets caught booking in an airbnb to claim he lives locally .. as of yesterday you can rent it yourself in late July - as he'll either be gone or claiming taxpayer funded expenses for a house Alongside pictures of himself entering a house, Mr McGuinness said Surrey Heath residents “rightly expect their MP to be a part of their community”. - So whens farage getting around to renting (and subletting) a clacton beach hut?   Gove’s replacement caught out on constituency house claim as home found on Airbnb WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK Social media users quickly pointed out house Ed McGuinness had posted photos in was available to rent     As Douglas Ross says he'll stand down in scotland - if he wins a Westminster seat - such devotion.
    • I've completed a draft copy to defend and will post up here for review.  Looking over the dates and payments this all stemmed from DVLA cancelling in Feb , whereby I set up a new DD in Feb hence the overlap, why they cancelled when I paid originally in Jan I have no idea. Anyway now stuck with pending court action and a suspended licence . I am also firing off a letter to DVLa recorded disputing the licence revoke
    • Thank you both for your expert knowledge and understanding. You're fighting the good fight by standing up for people like me and others with limited knowledge of this stuff. I thank you. I know all my DVLA details are good. I recently (last year) renewed my license, and my car's V5 is current with the correct details; the same is valid for my partner. I'll continue to ignore the love letters 😂 and won't let it bother either me or my partner.  I'll revisit this post if/when I get a letter of claim.  F**k ém.

    • 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, I am looking for all the advice I can get! I have got myself into arrears with my Council Tax over the last 5 years as such I now approx £1000 in unpaid Council Tax. I have been unable to set an arrangement with the Council as I have had many arrangements in the past and broke them all. So since about Feb I have made a payment of at least £10 per week every week without fail I am also up to date with this years council tax so after paying £130 a month for this years I cannot pay more than £10 a week. A liability order was issued in May 2010.

 

Last Thursday I came home and had received a hand delivered letter from Newlyn Bailiffs saying they had levied on a car which isn't even mine and saying I have 5 days to pay. They have added on £216.50 in charges as well.

 

So I have written 2 letters one to newlyn saying I am making my payments to the council, their charges are illegal and the car isnt mine and the other 1 to the council asking them to take back the debt (which i doubt they will), telling them i am going to make payments direct to the council and informing them of newlyns conduct.

 

have i done the right thing? does the fact that they have levied on a car even if it isnt mine mean they can now come into my home and use force? I know bailiffs can only charge for 2 visits but can they come to your home more than that and just not charge?

 

Thanks

You need to find out exactly where you are especially if you think you owe differing amounts over a period of time. In theory therefore the Council should have a Liability Order for each year. You should ring the Council and ask them:

1 - how many LO's they have

2 - how much each one is for

3 - when each one was obtained

4 - the period each one covers

5 - how much is still outstanding on each one

6 - when they were passed on for enforcement

Whatever you do don't rely on the figures the Bailiff gives you - he failed Maths

 

Still carry on as you are with payments. There is no law that says you have to speak to or deal with a Bailiff. Even if it were your own car he levied on does not give any right to come into your home, unless he gains peaceful entry. If he does call you are better off speaking through the letterbox or from an upstairs window. You are right in thinking he can only charge for 2 visits but how many times he does come is up to him - if he isn't getting paid he may decide to go elsewhere but this will not happen overnight.

Hi, A few weeks ago I had a letter from Newlyn bailiffs for outstanding council tax from a liability order from may 2010,

i had been making payments to the council but it wasnt enough and they refused to set an arrangement so i had just been paying anyway.

 

newlyn sent me a letter levying a charge on a car which isnt mine (i dont even drive)

 

i wrote to them by recorded delivery to say the £216 charges were unlawful,

that they had levied a charge on a car which is nothing to do with me

and that i would be continuing to make payments to the council.

 

this was just over 2 weeks ago and i have had no acknowledgement of my letter

 

today i had 2 phone calls from them and a voicemail stating that they were coming to remove my goods and to avoid this i needed to call them, - i didnt.

 

my question is how long do i need to give them to respond to my letter and who do i complain further to if they dont respond.

 

i also copied in the council and they havent responded either.

You send a formal complaint to the CEO, your councillor the council leader and MP, if after you notify the council that the bailiffs have made an unlawful levy on a third party car and ask them to remove the fee, they refuse, you should also keep the bailiff out and you don't legally have to deal with the bailiff.

 

others will be along soon to help further I'm sure

 

in the meantime check out this sticky from tomtubby regarding levys on third party motors.

 

Pay particular attention to this paragraph from the sticky

 

"The final paragraph is very important and I would suggest that when writing a letter of complaint that a copy of this article is provided to them as well. You should also copy your letter to the local authority and ensure that it is marked as a FORMAL COMPLAINT and addressed to the CHIEF EXECUTIVE. "

Have you read http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?262730-Has-a-bailiff-quot-levied-quot-upon-a-car-that-is-NOT-owned-by-you-...-LOCAL-GOVERNMENT-OMBUDSMAN-S-Report-!!!!

 

The chances are they will tell you you have to prove the vehicle isn't yours. If so that is a load of bull. The Council are liable for the actions of their contractor and it is them you turn to to sort it out. If the Council are deciding to ignore you and wait for a response from the Bailiffs then they are just making a rod for their own back - it will then prove they know nothing of the rules & procedures the Bailiff should have followed and can leave themselves open to further action.

 

At the time you wrote to the Bailiffs did you also ask for a breakdown of their fees. You say you wrote by RD did you check the RM Track & Trace to make sure it was delivered - it will pay you to send them a reminder by email. Their threats to come and remove goods will be just that - a threat - if they make good their promise they will leave themselves wide open to action by the vehicle owner. I assume they have not been in your home? You appear to be doing fine so far but may have to remember to budget for some Fees which may be due, providing no other goods have been seized this should be a maximum of £42-50 only.
