      Evri driver walked off with packages - Advice on possibly recovering them?

      By jk2054 · Posted

      Hello, You can't make EVRi investigate something. The only thing you could potentially look to do is take EVRi to court for the value of the lost parcel, however with a value of only £25 there will be limited point to doing that.

      Is the letter headed Letter of Claim/before Claim or similar? If not, it sounds like more of the threatogram chain. If you're not sure, post up an anonymised copy of the letter and we'll check. HB

      So guess what, we have received a final demand letter for £100. It states if payment is not made by 11/06 they will have no option but to forward the case to their litigation dept with a view to commence County Court Proceedings. So just wondering if anyone has any advice. Do we ignore this? or do we need to take action? Thanks

      Homeowner - Struggling to now pay minimums on unsecured debt

      By SPM87 · Posted

      hi dx, thanks for helping just re-reading everything this morning and I must have missed this one from uncle in his thread "What you should not do, is not contact the Banks and simply default on payments. "  are you in disagreement with this based on your last sentence?

      General question about CCJ's if not enforced or extended after 6 years

      By Andy111 · Posted

      Thanks for the reply and clarification, that might just explain why in my case contact has pretty much ceased. Though with such companies it doesn't mean they won't ever threaten to return to court as a tool to force one's hand if they feel they are not self informed on their chances etc.  But concerning how last year they tried to use the CCJ to get a charging order and the court granted an intirum order on our mortgage using the CCJ that would have been a good 2-3 months beyond the 6 years, should the court not have checked the age of the CCJ in the first case or would they always grant an interim order simply off the back of a CCJ being produced without even checking the age of it?.  Had I not defended that action at the time they may well have got a default using a CCJ older than 6 years which could be a concern going forwards. At the time when I contacted the court to question the paperwork for a final order application the clerk suggested people don't get informed when companies apply for interim charging orders, they are automatic if a claimant has a CCJ and people only get contacted once a date for a final order application goes through. kind of begs the question if such companies can continue a seemingly backdoor method to attempt default action if un-defended if the initial application doesn't need to check the age of a CCJ?.

    • 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.

Before you criticise another man you should first walk a mile in his shoes. Then, when you criticise him, you'll be a mile away and he won't have any shoes on.

 

Don't get me confused with somebody knowledgeable by all those green blobs. I got most of them by making people laugh.

Little things please, as the saying goes.

 

Yes, I must admit I've always enjoyed Wallace & Gromit. Now it will never seem the same again.

Well ignore politics and just watch Wallace & Gromit. Problem solved:-D

Nah. Trouble is, every time I watch PMQs I'll be expecting Miliband to say "Everybody knows the moon's made of Cheese Gromit". Well let's face it, Miliband is a bit of a joke.

It is said we are in time of austerity but George Osborne is understood to have made a speech last night seen as a coded warning to Nick Clegg and Vince Cable to rein in some of their rhetoric on high pay. Today I hear someone won 45 mil on the Lottery in Hertfordshire. When you think of the colossal amounts won by individuals on the lottery in this country alone, you could share that to more people by making more smaller wins and spreading the love:-D

OOO I see the boss of RBS was thinking of resigning during the furore but he didn't. I would say to George Osborne 'You see they don't leave in droves as you infer as where are the vacancies in this economic climate?'

 

I thought Mr Cameron mentioned good capitalism which I believe means we embrace individuals/companies who create wealth for others as well as themselves, not just me me me and s*d the consequences.

A good idea, in principle I suppose. Ever likely to materialise in practice? Probably as likely as Mrs Thatcher wading back into Parliament on the back of the success of her 'biographical portait' in the Iron Lady haha.

 

I think it's been 'look after number one' in this country for a long time now. Indeed, in most of the western world. Wasn't it dear old Maggie who said 'there's no such thing as society...'?

 

I'm not in favour of everyone cutting all ties to wealth and materialism and moving into spiritual communes. However, a little more sense of community both on a smaller, and larger scale would be nice - in fact, I'd even say heart warming...:)

Which is opposed to what exactly from the Wallace & Gromit man?

 

Er, cut, but do it a bit more slowly and not quite as much.

Er, well that's it really.

Oh no, there's good capitalism too.

Didn't somebody mention that already?

I've already said it's silly to compare people to cartoon characters, that's being polite:madgrin: BTW I replied with my own views on capitalism. No idea what Mr C really thinks.

 

and you see Fred that's why a coalition government was voted in by the people so the debate goes on as to the balance of how best to serve the nation. I believe also IMO even Mr C's cabinet have conceded cuts should be slower and less, not their original stance.

 

Anyway Fred you need to be more clear as to what you are trying to say.

D'you know Phil I never forget that quote, I really must look into the phyche of the meaning.
