      Lost items sent through Parcel2Go and EVRi

      By Madmart58 · Posted

      Thank you very much for your letter in regard to the above mentioned shipment.  Due to the high volume of parcels coursing through the courier network each day, undergoing continuous processing and handling, certain packages may experience delays or even can get lost in the course of this journey. Please note that due to the time that has passed, this shipment has been declared as lost.  I have today processed the claim and made offers to the value of £75 as a goodwill gesture without prejudice. I do acknowledge that you have mentioned in your letter that the value was higher, however, you did not take out any protection to that amount. The protection for this shipment was £20 and we will not be increasing our goodwill offer any further.    Please log into your account online in order to accept our offer. Once accepted, our accounts department will process the claim accordingly. The claim payment will be processed and received within 7 working days.                                  In addition, a refund of the carriage fee will be processed as a separate payment and will be received within 3 working days.  If I can further assist, please feel free to contact me.   I have also just noticed that yesterday afternoon they sent me an email stating that "after my request" they have refunded the cost of shipping. I did not request the refund so will mention that in my letter as well.

      IDRWW letter and email received this week

      By Angryman1404 · Posted

      Hi I had to leave Dubai back in 2011, during the financial crisis. And only now have I received a letter from IDRWW. Is this anything to worry about about as I have 2 years left until it’s been 15 years(statute barred in Dubai). Worried as just got a mortgage 2 years ago. Could they force me in to bankruptcy? Red lots of different threads on here. And unsure what true and what isn’t.

      Not that TOR will see this now he's thrown in the hand grenade. Rayner has plenty of female supporters on X, for a start. As for the council and HMRC, fair enough and I thought Rayner was already in touch with them. That's where it should be dealt with, not the police force. @tobyjugg2 Daniel Finkelstein thinks the same as you about tax. The Fiver theory.

      Lowell/Overdales Claimform - old Cap1 Debt

      By London1971 · Posted

      Often with the Likes of Lowells/ Overdales that 'proof' doesn't stand up to scrutiny.   Think about it like a game of poker, they want to intimidate you into folding and giving up as soon as possible, and just get you to pay up and roll over, that is their business model, make you think your cards are rubbish. What they don't expect, and their business isn't set up for it, is for a defendant to find this place and to learn that they have an amazing set of cards to play. Overdales don't have an infinite number of lawyers, paralegals etc, and the time / money to spend on expensive court cases, that they are highly likely to lose, hence how hard they will try to get you to roll over.  Even to the extent of faking documents, which they need to do because the debts that they purchased were so cheap, in the first place. Nevertheless it works in most cases, most people chicken out, when they are so close to winning, and a holding defence is like slowly showing Overdales your first card, and a marker of intention that this could get tricky for them. In fact it may be,  although by no means guaranteed that it won't even go any further than that.  Even if it does, what they send you back will almost certainly have more holes than Swiss Cheese, and if with the help you receive here, you can identify those weaknesses and get the whole thing tossed in the bin.

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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've just joined this site as I a problem that has arisen that might affect my employment.

 

I was convicted in MAr 2000 for 4 counts of theft by deception at my employers. I got 30 months but was released in Apr 2001.

 

I have been working for this company for almost 10 years now. Originally I was taken on as an agency staff (in Sep 2001) and was then made permanent back in 2002. As far as I can recall I was never asked about a criminal record. However, since then I have applied for internal positions and moved around the company. On these internal applications there was a question about having a criminal record and I have always said no.

 

I now have chance to apply for jobs within our sister company in Canada. The visa process will force me to reveal my record and also tell the company in Canada. Which I'm happy to do.

 

But, I'm worried that the HR over there might speak to the HR over and discuss the record.

 

I would like some advice on what I should do. Do I inform HR here? And if I do what could happen to me? I have no blemishes on my work record.

 

I really would like move to Canada and easiest and quickest way of doing it is by transferring internally to our sister comapny.

 

And advice would be helpfull. Thanks in advance.

I would suggest that you need to be completely honest. That way, if you survive it, there will be nothing that can come up and bite you in the bum.

The question is - what is the best way to tell the truth.

 

If you are good at your job then you will have managers who think that you are good and who like you. I would think about deciding who among the senior management is the most well-disposed towards you.

 

Ask for a half hour appointment and go and see them and lay it all out and say that you are worried and could do with some help and a kindly word from above.

 

That senior manager might be able to approach someone even more senior so that all the people who matter, know about you and are on your side.

Then with their blessing - you ask for a meeting with HR. Maybe your manager would speak with HR first.

 

If you do it this way, you remain in reasonable control of events and also you come out completely which will give you huge peace of mind

Thanks Bankfodder.

 

I spoke to one of the senior managers I get along with. He basically adviced me to speak to these guys that we can ring for any problems (presonnal or work related), confidential and free service for employees at our place. See what they say, then get some advice from an employee lawyer, then speak to my manager and let him before applying for jobs in canada. The thing is that senior manager is leaving the company soon, so I don't think he would have got too involved, plus I think when I told him this morning it might have come as shock to him as I have known for almost 4 years.

Hi

Just so you are aware (In case it gets mentioned; forewarned is forearmed after all) if you have been convicted of an offence, you will be unable to take part in the visa waiver scheme. This does not mean you can't go to Canada, but the process is a bit more complicated and costs a little bit more. Basically the police have to do a report and the Canadian Embassy have to rubber stamp it before allowing entry.

Might be an idea to offer to pay the cost (it was £70 but it has gone up now I think)

I'm not saying any of this to upset you or anything it's just for you to be aware in case it's mentioned.

I think the new life in Canada sounds fab!

All the best

Hi again compaq

Found this for you

 

If you have committed or been convicted of a criminal offence, you may not be allowed to enter Canada. You may have to apply for criminal rehabilitation under Canada's Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

 

Criminal offences include both minor and serious offences, such as theft, assault, manslaughter, dangerous driving and driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. For a complete list of criminal offences in Canada, consult the Canadian Criminal Code.

 

If you were convicted of a crime when you were under the age of 18, you can probably still enter Canada.

 

There is information on the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website regarding overcoming criminal inadmissibility, as well as a useful Frequently Asked Questions section. *

 

However, in accordance with a Canadian decision, Burgon (case dated 21st February 1991 in the Federal Court of Appeal in Canada), criminal convictions obtained in the UK are generally assessed under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 instead of under the Immigration & Refugee Protection Act.. As a result, once your criminal record becomes spent under the 1974 Act, you cease to be inadmissible to Canada. For more information about this, see letters from the High Commission of Canada and the Citizenship and Immigration Canada.

I'm sure if you tell them the truth and the fact you've worked for them for 10 years will go a long way, after all we've all done daft things when we were younger (no

I'm not telling you what I did ;-)

As the OP hasn't been on the site since 2012, and the last post on this thread was a little over 6 years ago. I think perhaps that this one has run its course.

 

I'll close it for now unless & until the OP asks for it to be reopened.

Please note that my posts are my opinion only and should not be taken as any kind of legal advice.
In fact, they're probably just waffling and can be quite safely and completely ignored as you wish.
