    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above
    • In anticipation of lodging my court claim next Weds 1 May (14 days after advising P2G that was my deadline for them to settle my claim) I have completed my first draft POC as below: Claim Claim number: xxxxx Reference: P2G MAY 2024   Claimant xxxxx   Defendant Parcel2Go 1A Parklands Lostock Bolton BL6 4SD  Particulars of Claim The defendant has failed to arrange for the safe delivery of the claimant's parcel containing a 8 secondhand golf clubs (valued at £265) that was sent to a UK address using their delivery service (P2G Reference xxxxx). The defendant contracted Evri to deliver the parcel (Evri Reference xxxxx) and refuses to reimburse the claimant on the grounds that the claimant did not purchase their secondary insurance contract. The defendant seeks to exclude their liability in breach of section 57 Consumer Rights Act. The secondary insurance contract is in breach of section 72. The claimant seeks reimbursement of £265, plus P2G fees of £9.10, plus postage costs for two first class letters to P2G of £2.70, plus court fees, plus interest. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from xxxxx to xxxxxx on £276.80 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £xxxx   Details of claim Amount claimed £276.80 I look forward to your thoughts and comments guys! As ever, many thanks - G59    
    • Hmm, that's strange how they got my email then.  I assume the below is ok to send to DCBL, Nicky?  Hello, I am writing regarding our ongoing dispute and the upcoming court claim reference xxxxxxxx. To ensure fairness and transparency in our communications leading up to the court hearing, I request that you use postal mail exclusively for all further correspondence related to this claim. Please refrain from sending any communication or documents via email. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

    • 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.

Has anyone with a cat noticed how the smell of these pouches has got so bad that it almost makes one sick to just put it in the cats dish?

 

It smells as bad going in as it does coming out the other end.

I have owned a cat, and used to look after my neighbours cat when they went on holiday - and I do agree that the food is quite foul smelling :!:

 

I just did a quick google search, and apparently cats need a stronger stimulus to eat than dogs, so if they have a stuffy nose they sometimes won't eat at all! I do know cats can quite often suffer from stuffiness - so it sounds logical!

 

You could always give them dried food - but with cats particularly, I wouldn't recommend it, as they can suffer from kidney problems at the best of times.

One of my cats prefers mushrooms to anything else and often has frazzled whiskers from trying to get them out of the pan! He will also only eat tuna if it's in a lime & black pepper dressing. Daisy loves bread and has been known to scavenge it out of the bin, Smudge goes mad for olives and is strangely attracted to cellophane. She spends hours licking it, for some reason. And Tigger adores oranges and baked beans.........and is not nice to be near afterwards! My dog eats lettuce leaves straight off the plant while it's still in the ground.........at first we thought we had monster caterpillers!

We can't fit a cat flap so our cat scratches on our bedroom door at about 3.30 every morning to be let out. I say 'our' cat, but at times like that it's actually my wife's cat (well she wanted the bloody thing). I get up at about 5.30 and the cat always wants to come in by then, but I make her wait because I know she wants feeding and the smell of whiskas makes me want to vomit. Feeding time is another moment when it's my wife's cat.

 

You're quite right though, it is a revolting smell, especially when the weather is hot and the food has been in the bowl all day. Yuk.

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.

My Cats cats are only eating bite and chew at the moment (which dosnt smell too bad) but are also having a field day with rabbits and when you find the remains of one that you missed under one of the bush's in the Garden That really Smells

If I have been of any help, please click on my star and let me know, thank you.

Bite and chew, sounds like bubblegum!

 

I was thinking more along the lines of Zumba for the jaw muscles :lol:

 

I felt a bit bad on my neighbours cat last night - I'd made spicy Thai prawns for dinner (and when I make spicy I really make spicy) :|

 

Anyway, my Oh took the bin bag out to put in the wheelie bin - it had been bin collection day so he put it outside the side door then went out the front to bring the bin in, then got distracted chatting to one of our neighbours who he'd not seen for a while.

 

After around 20mins I heard a strange noise, and went to the side door to find my neighbours beautiful tortoiseshell cat sicking up some half eaten prawns he'd pinched out of the bag :!:

 

He just looked at me as if I'd put them in the bag on purpose :|

Try raw meat - you can get it frozen from Pets at Home in a mince or chunks (it's meant for dogs but you can use it for cats). You keep it frozen just taking out a bit in the morning to defrost for the day. They eat less as it's not full of water, it's more akin to what they would actually eat if they were catching their own food and it doesn't smell! Also his/her coat will likely get more glossy and if you have a problem with smells from the other end (ahem:)) it should clear up. Oh, and it's dead cheap.

 

You should add bits and pieces to it to make sure they get all the nutrients they need, but you can do more easily by either chucking in some offal with it every now and then, or even more simply by giving some good quality complete dry food every few days (Acana and Orijen are fantastic but pricey, however you don't use it all the time so not bad in the long run - prolly cheaper than pouches with the amount you have to give!)

 

Having said all that my cats are on Tesco own cat crunchies at a quid a box as my freezer has been too full for cat food recently, but I haven't half noticed the difference in coat and smell (from cat not food :madgrin:) since they've come off a decent diet.

My cat eats the Whiskers pounched food, and the Whiskers dried as well. I admit that the pouches dont smell nice to us,, but I am sure they are adored by the cats as my little one knows when I get her pouch open. She has the dried food while I am at work so if she doesnt eat it all , it wont smell.

My cat loves whiskas but it smells so rancid, I just cannot have it in the house. Am trying to get him into real food but he just is not having it.
