    • 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.

    • 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.

Many thanks Mike 770,

 

I do have another question relating to my Bank Current Account. Been with HSBC some 25yrs now, never had an issue with them, although I have had Bank loans through them which DEFINATELY had PPI on them.

 

I am undecided whether to rock the boat or not, I dont want to put myself in a position where the bank closes my account due to me claiming back the many PPI payments I have made.

 

Anybody know on General tems how HSBC react ?

 

Thanks

I found if you put a good case to HSBC why PPI mis-sold they were quite quick to respond and offer was made, so important that your reasons are genuine i.e. events happened (provable), and that you are not using one of these claims companies (HSBC sit on the fence if you do I found i.e. I cancelled claims company after getting no -where, Then HSBC moved and made a offer of all PPI + interest).

 

The claim has not made any notible difference with the relationship with them in my case.

Not had any communication from either Northampton or Cardiff.

 

Where we/i were at:

 

7 Oct 2011 - MCOL submitted and acknowledged.

7 Oct 2011 - CPR 31.14 submitted and was received on 11th Oct 2011

10 Oct 2011 - Part 18 sent off recorded delivery - Delivered on 11th Oct 2011

25 Oct 2011 - Email from Link agreeing to 28 day extension

31 Oct 2011 - Letter to Link stating they had not sent Copy of orginal T&C's and Copy of Original agreement

12 Dec 2011 - Letter from Northampton Bulk Centre to state transferred to Cardiff

13 Dec 2011 - Letter from Cardiff CC stating judgement awarded.

 

I have NOT heard anything from either Northampton or Cardiff relating to a hearing or a date. It was only yesterday I was asking for advice on how to get this transferred to my local court where I can fight my corner.

You have missed your defence date the claim as to be transferred out of CCBC to the Claimants Court to enable judgment by default.I assume its a forthwith judgment

and therefore you now need to make a variation on payment arrangements via the N245.Include a I&E and an offer of monthly payment (including that first payment)

If the offer is accepted no further enforcement should be taken. If not they may well apply for a ICO to secure the debt.

Sorry HTH I cant be more positive but you really need to keep your eye on the dates when a summons is issued.

Even though they have added a stupid amount of interest which they should'nt of done ???

 

Apart from the N245 is there totally nothing can be done to argue the amount of judgement....I know its partially down to me and my ignorance of the process.

 

Whats ICO ??

 

Thanks

Thanks Andy, your efforts really are appreciated. Just been reading about contacting the court for an N244. If I submit this will it automatically get moved to my local area for hearing ? - How do these Judges (dont know if thats the correct term) view these things ?

 

Part of my arguement would also be that I am currently going through PPI process with MBNA on the Credit Card and a Loan agreement held by them, and that is a large part of the outstanding amount. There is another issue which I will PM you about, as its sensative.

 

And final question (Promise) can I assume that whether or not they agree to set aside, you loose your £80 ?

Yes- How do these Judges (dont know if thats the correct term) view these things ? Research throughly before application make sure you have grounds before further cost.

Part of my arguement would also be that I am currently going through PPI process with MBNA on the Credit Card and a Loan agreement held by them, and that is a large part of the outstanding amount. That is separate to this claim and as such should not be used to try to counter There is another issue which I will PM you about, as its sensative.

  • 5 months later...

Well its been some time since any real activity. To bring everyone up to speed, here is where I am, and now asking kindly for advice/help:

 

 

  • Link Financial Applied for a charging order on our property
  • I submitted documents to the court to ask for the hearing date and location to be changed. (I paid)
  • Hearing was changed to my local County Court.
  • Hearing date set for 30th May 2012

 

The local CC made a major screw up, in that documents were sent to me advising me of the new court date; 30th May 2012. Then 2 weeks ago, we received a letter from the court, stating that in my absence the judge had awarded to "Link Financial" and added another £2k interest.

Spoke to the court, they admitted straight away they screwed up and assured me they would get it revoked on the following working day, which they did.

Only thing now is that I hope the judge does'nt feel miffed with me when I do appear.

 

 

So, I have a bundle of docs to take with me, and the crux of my argument will be that:

1. I believe the sum Link are going for it wholy incorrect, as there is a large sum within that amount that I am reclaiming on PPI

2. Link are claiming Interest on the outstanding amount, I have never had an agreement with Link, or given them anthing to say that I accept they have

taken over the debt, so how can they get interest.

3. Interest being charged after the date Link gave me a letter (attached) stating they were not going to charge interest.

 

I am sure there are other reasons I can present to him, but to be honest my head is so screwed with this, and the lack of sleep through worry is not helping.

 

Would really appreciate some advice on this, and maybe information from others who were in the same position on how it went for them.

 

Many thanks

Hi HWTH

 

I have unapproved your attachment as the case number and accounts numbers were showing on the summons.

 

Back to your claim did you make application to set a side ? Your last post being 13th December 2011 does not allow continuity, difficult to advise.

Very sorry about that......My head seems to be somewhere else at the moment.

 

After I received their court document and mis-calculated when I had to have my responses in by, I submitted the "N244" (attached). This was then transferred to my Local court, for a date in March, but due to other commitments and by the agreement of Link, this was then reassigned to the 30th May 2012.

 

I have attached the previous document (duly corrected) and a copy of the N244. Many thanks for the speedy response.

Ok so you have an hearing for your set a side to be considered on the reasoning supplied in your N244 on the 30th May 2012.

 

I would simply create a skeleton Argument of the points to be considered, the DJ may only want to consider the points for set a side at this stage and then request a full defence be submitted within 28 days. Have you had any further guidance or Orders on preparation?

So may not be as dramatic as my imagination would like me to think :-) "Courts - Judges" conjur up some bad dreams.

 

Okay I will start getting my act and documents together.

 

I have not had any further guidance on preparation, so any advice/assistance would be very much welcome at this stage.

I am going to try and get up there later this week, just so that its all a little familiar on the day.

 

So any advice on how best to prepare for this "meeting with the DJ". I had planned to do myself some notes in bullet point format, giving what I think is my arguments in the points I submitted.

 

I am concious that the 30 mins or so they allocate, I cannot afford to waffle, so need to make sure everything is relevant and valid.

 

Is there anything I can use to my advantage to argue against the massive amount of interest Link have pilied on, and additional charges they make ?

 

Thanks

The basis of the hearing is (or can be ) 2 fold to determine your application to set a side, so prep on the reasons for that first and then as stated he/she may touch on your proposed defence should he/she allow the set a side.You have to have a reasonable defence as this effects the decision to set a side, but approach it in the two stances I have outlined.

I will follow that guidance, will also do some research on forms and our friend "Google" to see if I can come up with anything to help with the defence and to make it as strong as possible.
