      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.

      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

      WanTToMoveOn,

    • 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.

1. How many more programmes do you think we will see about Madeleine McCann? It seems to me that there will soon be more than there are about the Titanic.

2. When will the McCann's be charged with neglecting their child?

 

The latest programme is on right now. Once again, the fact that the McCanns left their child alone while they enjoyed themselves is completely brushed aside as if it wasn't important. It IS important. If they had behaved like responsible parents, Madeleine would be alive and with them today.

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.

How long before other parents of missing children (lots of them went missing in this country) will ask why they can't have the same help out of the public purse?

 

These are all very sad cases and I really hope that she (and others) are found.

 

But, I am sure if I left my kids and went to the pub I would have Social Services here before you could say "make mine a double".

Even if I went back to check on them after every pint.

 

 

If all else fails, kick them where it hurts and SOD'EM;)

You are not alone Fred, one senses a certain amount of discrimination here, the McCanns are professional middle clase people and therefore not some struggling couple from a sink estate on the social all the time... different perception by the media.

 

Just my opinion.

But because of their jobs/professions - the neglect just seemed to be overlooked!

 

Had this have been just an ordinary couple, with run of the mill jobs - they would have not only been prosecuted for neglect, but they'd have had their other children taken into care.

 

The truth will come out though, it always does!

(I was about 2 or 3 when this happened) There was a case of a boy called Ben who disappeared in the early 90s. Did his case ever have so much media coverage?

 

Ben Needham. I believe his mother actually wrote to the Prime Minister asking when her son could expect the same level of support. If she got a response, I am not aware of it.

 

To be honest with you, this entire subject makes my blood boil. I think it is shameful to raise the bar for one family when 100,000 children go missing every year in the UK. Granted, most of them are found safe and well, but I can't imagine how it must feel to be a less fortunate parent watching the McCann family get all the stops pulled out for them. Every time I see them, I think of Damien Nettles. His poor mother has spent the last 16 years knowing that he's dead and very likely who killed him - where's her Home Office intervention? He's been missing for as long as he was alive!

No his case didn't get the same amount of media coverage! His Mum has since been on TV speaking about this - and has spent the approx 19yrs doing everything she could herself to search for him, she has been seriously let down!

I couldn't agree with you more LaughingGirl! In all honesty I've always felt there's been something very suspicious about the sheer amount of resources, money, media and even parliamentary support that the McCanns have had - that may sound harsh, and as if I resent them getting the help, but why just them? And why were their clear actions of neglect brushed under the carpet?:???:

I'm not even going to go there because I'll sound like a conspiracy theory loon-bucket. I can't think of a single family in the UK or abroad that have had this level of intervention in a missing child case, nor the level of public donations.

 

I do know people actively involved in working with families of missing children, and in the States they call this PWGS - Pretty White Girl Syndrome. Basically, if the child is attractive, white and middle class child the whole world goes berserk looking for them or their killer. Jon Benet Ramsey is another example of this. What happened to her was a tragedy, but sadly it happens to children worldwide every day - there aren't many of those children who turn into a multi-million pound industry, however. If I was a highly cynical person (and I am), I would venture to say that these cases get the attention that they do because the unfortunate children involved are making people money, namely the media and publishing sectors, but in some cases the parents do quite nicely out of it too. Nobody will ever know who killed Jon Benet Ramsey now, but I guarantee you that people will still be writing books about her and 'naming' her murderer in a decade. The same applies to Madeline McCann.

It's very sad indeed. Kids go missing in horrible circumstances every day, but most of the time we don't even read about it.

Im having to bite my tongue here.

Sure they made a mistake, do you not think they are being punished enough.

Different circumstances, but i lost my 9 year old a few years ago. The pain is unbearable. I can only imagine the not knowing is even worse.

I currently, by choice, do not have a T.V. I have only bought a paper once in the last goodness how many months. That was only to see how Fabrice Muamba was doing. I was at the match.

 

I just want to finish by saying,

 

"Let He Who Is Without Sin..."

 

You probably know how to finish the saying off.

Cast the first stone? Yes I know the saying well - but anyone who leaves a child alone is not without sin surely?

 

By the way, don't feel you have to bite your tongue - surely we're all entitled to our own opinion on here? I for one like to read others opinions :wink:

 

But as for making a mistake, and already being punished enough? There are children who die of neglect every week - Baby "P" is a fine example, however the result has been very similar, both parents have "lost" their child - do you think we should be forgiving of Baby P's parents? I don't....Sorry.

Life is like an echo, it all returns......The good, the bad, the false, the true......So if you give life the best you have, the best will come back to you.

Its for that very reason i have to bite my tongue. You are all acting as judge, jury, and exocutioner.

 

I defy ANYBODY who has children to say they have not left them alone for whatever reason.

 

This is NOTHING like the baby P case. Dont change the subject.

We should, as a society, do whatever it takes to find any missing child. We don't though, except in the case of the McCanns who were at least partly responsible for their own going missing. Why do the McCanns get preferential treatment?

I get a sitter if I need to go anywhere, if that proves difficult I take them with me!!! I can certainly say I've never left them to go for a drink and a meal!!! Even if we have a BBQ and ate out the garden when it's time for the children to come in then so do the adults!".

 

Can I also say I'm really sorry for your loss x

They dont. You just think they do.

 

Its called media hype. It sells newspapers. You turn up the volume when you hear it on your TV/radio.

 

Dont forget they have also put over £1.2 million pounds into the enquiries.

 

When new evidence comes to light, we as a society do investigate. Its called justice.

Put the washing out, go to the toilet, talk to a neighbour. Thats the sort of leaving alone i meant. I dont condone what they did in leaving her alone. I just dont think we should cast judgement at this stage,

 

And thank you for the kind words.

Just recently we had an incident in our street. A couple in a car approached the youngster on way home from school and tried to lure him into the car. He had the presence of mind to realise the danger he was in, these people can grab a child quick, and ran to home to tell parents. Police have put the whole area on alert. This has never been known around our parts before and very shocking. Playing outside houses has stopped now.

 

These people are always looking for that window of opportunity, it can be where you least expect it because that's how they're wired up,cunning and waiting for the moment you glance away, to pounce.
