    • Please will you upload the defence in a PDF format document
    • Afternoon All - after 3 weeks of silence, this morning I received an email from HMCTS advising that P2G have rejected my claim. Decide whether to proceed Parcel2Go.com has rejected your claim. You need to decide whether to proceed with the claim. You need to respond before 4pm on 25 June 2024. Your claim won’t continue if you don’t respond by then. This is their ‘defence’ Their defence Why they disagree with the claim When choosing a service on the Defendants website, the Claimant chose to book their order with Evri and selected to take out £20 parcel protection which comes with the service. On the first page of the booking process, the Claimant entered the value of £265 for the contents and was offered parcel protection for loss or damages against their goods for £13.99 + VAT. The Claimant selected no, which then produced a pop up which explained 'We strongly recommend that you protect the full value of your item(s).' however, the Claimant still did not take this protection out and instead continued with the booking process. At the end of the booking process, the Claimant was offered this again which was refused and the Claimant continued with the booking by accepting the terms and conditions which re-iterates the information provided in the booking process. The parcel was sent, however, seems to be delayed in transit. The parcel finally started to track again, however, when delivered the parcel was empty with no contents. As such, the claim was re-opened and attempted to be settled for the £20 protection taken out in the booking process. This was refused by the Claimant as they felt they should be paid the full amount of the value entered when booking. Unfortunately, due to the refusal of the parcel protection in the booking process the Defendant is not liable to settle the claim to the value and only to the parcel protection taken out. The Defendant shall rely on the Terms and Conditions of carriage in particular section 9. The Defendant understands that the contents have not be handled with due care and attention, which is not being disputed, however, they are disputing the amount they are liable to. They have requested mediation, I’m sure not least to drag the case out even longer, but I can see no benefit to me in this and so shall reject it. As ever, I’d welcome your thoughts guys. g59   
    • I doubt HMCTS holds any data on whether arrests by AEAs required police assistance.  They couldn't or wouldn't provide data on how many of warrants issued were successfully executed - just the number issued!  In my experience, arrest warrants whether with or without bail are [surprisingly] carried out with little or no fuss.  I think it's about how you treat people - a little respect and courtesy goes a long way. If you treat people badly they will react the same way. Occasions when police are called to assist are not common and, having undertaken or managed many thousands of these over the years, I can only recall a handful of occasions when police assistance was necessary. On one occasion, many years ago, I arrested and transported a man from Hampshire to Bristol prison on a committal warrant. It was just me and he was no problem. I didn't know the Bristol area (pre Sat Nav) and he was kind enough to provide directions - seems he knew the prison.  One young chap on another committal warrant jumped out of his back window and I had to chase him across several garden fences.  When he gave up (we were both knackered) I agreed to drive by his girlfriend's house to say farewell for a while.  I gave them a few moments and he was fine. The most difficult are breach warrants but mainly in locating the defendant as they don't want to go back to prison - can't blame them.  These were always dealt with by the police until the Access to Justice Act transferred responsibility from them to the magistrates' courts. The fact was the police did not actively pursue them and generally only executed them when they arrested someone for something else and found they had a breach warrant outstanding.  Hence the transfer of responsibility.
    • thats down to mcol making that option available for you to select, you cant force it. typically if there are known processing delays at northants bulk it will be atleast 14 days later if not more.

    • 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.

Please can someone help me with this im really at the end of my tether.

 

On 20th July 2011 I rang the Council and told them I would be moving to a new address in a different neighbouring borough and gave them my new address and told them I would be moving on 29th July. The woman I spoke to said she didnt think there was anything outstanding but that they would send the final account to my new address.

 

We moved on 29th July and I am now paying on time by DD my COuncil tax for the new property.

 

Never heard anything from the old Council Tax until Saturday morning when I got a C Tax Final Notice - cancellation of installments 2011 and amount due amount.... has to be paid within 7 days.... i received this through the post on Saturday 3rd December... the Final Notice is dated 14th November!!!!!!!!!!! so more than 7 days have elapsed already...

 

I rang the Council today to ask about this and was told that they had sent out bills to the old address.... I explained I had moved on 29th July and had told them about it on 20th July and what had been said by their representative.... then she said that she could offer me 4 payments starting today but would have to add on £75 as even if i agreed to payment plan it would still have to go to Court and get Court costs... she told me it goes to Court on 13th December when they will get a judgement and a Bailiff will be instructed to attend my new address and collect the monies owing...

 

The woman said they had sent me a ntofication in October to my new address, I have not received anything until this on Saturday and when I told her she said.. well we can both argue over it but you owe it and it needs to be paid...........

 

I said I wanted to speak to someone higher in authority to complain and she said she would send me a complaint form but it would make no difference because i still have to pay it..... When I asked for her name she just gave me her christian name, when i asked for her surname she said she doesnt give it out and there is only one Clair in her department!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

How can they do this? I told them well in advance of moving and I gave them my new addres so i wasnt trying to avoid anything... I was told that it looked like i didnt owe anything and now ive got a bill for £306.14 + £75 costs.......

 

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do? I am fuming - its 3 weeks before Christmas, there is only me working - my husband is now unemployed and we have a 15yr old son - we have no savings to draw on.... Im at the end of my tether.. Please help!!

I thought there would be something to pay when we moved - i wasnt in arrears or anything, I just cancelled the DD to stop them taking too much out and notified them on the 20th July that I was moving on 29th and they said if anything was owing they would send me a final bill.. but she said she thought there would be nothing or very little.... then i have heard nothing and now im being told i will have to pay costs etc when I havent even had any correspondence from them... just this final notice on Saturday 3rd Dec which was dated 14th November so dont know why it wasnt sent on time...... surely they should have contacted me...

OK, Councils are renowned for getting dates mixed up and I would not be surprised to find they have charged for a period of time after you moved. It does sound as if a Liability Order has not yet been obtained. You will need to contact them again and ask the following:

1 - ask them to confirm the amount outstanding for Council Tax minus any costs.

2 - the dates they are claiming the debt is owed for.

3 - the address the debt relates to - strange question I know but not the first to get their addresses mixed up.

4 - the dates and the addresses they say they have written to.

 

Did you back your phone call up with a letter when you informed them you were moving? If not are able to prove that at least you made a phone call to the Council on the date you said?

I have now received a phone call from head of Customer Services and she tells me they do not have a facility for recording calls!!!!!!!!! however she apologised for the way I was treated by one of her employees and she is holding an investigation.... in the meantime she has agreed to me paying £50 per month for Dec and Jan and I have to ring her beginning of Feb to let her know if my situation is the same.....

 

Even £50 a month is a lot but its better than being taken to Court for non payment I suppose...
