    • Thank you everyone!  thought to share some points from my experience in court today that may help others who are taking Evri to court: The judge sets out how the hearing will go and how each party should behave; while i was certainly feeling anxious/nervous ahead of the hearing (and I'm sure @jk2054 may have also observed this), the judge really does try to put any non-legal persons at ease; refrain from talking to the other party and instead speak to the judge if you have any questions/responses; the judge and the advocate spoke about tort of negligence - i wasn't sure how this applied to my case but the judge was questionning the advocate about this so i chose to stay out of this; the judge made reference to a historical case of Donaghue v Stevenson which established a duty of care; the judge observed that some of the points in Evri's witness statement by george wood needed cross examination but george was not present today for questionning; While i was claiming 8% interest, the judge pointed out that is the upper limit and that today, savings accounts give 4-5%. I therefore opted for 5% interest which was agreed to by the judge and the advocate; above all else, ensure you know your court bundle and have any notes to help you refer to specific sections - it helped me to structure my answers to the judge/defendant's queries, and point to specific evidence where i was asked to prove e.g., the value of the item. @honeybee13 - yes, will confirm when payment is received. I have emailed the Evri.claims email with my bank details and also provided them after the hearing to the advocate. @BankFodder message received and i am replying to it
    • Looks promising then.  Well done   Dx
    • So a little update.  I sent a complaint to ico and have heard nothing. I just got the general reply email and that's it.  Sat twiddling my thumbs and thought about what I should do next. I searched for the CEO of Studio but then found that he'd left so as keep getting letters from studio about the arrears etc. I thought I'd email the David Twigg. Sent him all the bumpft and a copy of my original complaint and sars request.  Got no response. So didn't know what else to do. Then I thought I'd try through the financial difficulties option on the online form. One last try before I just give up and let them default me.  Then on the 5th June. I got an email from their customer services. That the items that had gone AWOL have all been cancelled. Nothing else on that email, so I had a look in an email account that I don't use anymore and there was an email from the customer service.  That they were sorry for the problems I've had for the last 9 months. That the sars info was emailed to me on 14/04, it wasn't I've kept all spam and deleted emails on that account, they have raised a complaint with their studio pay team regarding the issues, balance dispute, fee's and my credit file. They are hoping to resolve in 3 days but they have upto 56. They also said in regards to my other issues I have to raise a complaint with studio retail but haven't told me how I do that.  The sars info only goes upto the end of December 2023. It has my previous complaints on there but nothing after so I don't know how I get hold of that information. Luckily I've kept copies of every time I've contacted them. Every web chat or social media contact.  Apologies for the extremely long post but I wanted to add everything I could just incase.  I have checked my account balance and it's still minus 900 odd pounds but I'll keep checking to see if it's all cleared and on my credit file.  I'm hoping this is the end of the whole debacle and they close my account because I never want to do this again. Although it's been a learning experience.  Thanks to dx100uk for pointing me in the right direction. Much appreciated.

    • 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.

HI I have got myself into a mess with some payday loans.

 

I took them out over the last year and have been roling them over ever since and using other ones to pay them off and back and forth-- ie taking from Peter to pay Paul

 

At present I owe

Wonga 450

Quick Quid 950

Txt loan 700

 

My original loan with Wonga was £400 and i did pay rollover payments for about 4 months

 

My original loan with QQ was £700 and also paid a number of months interset ect

 

My original loan with Txt loan was 350 and again i had paid this back a number of times and took it out again.

 

I had other smaller ones which i have now cleared,

 

at present i have not paid these loans for the last 3-4 months and have been ignoring constant calls and letters ect.

 

I no what to get rid of them and a family member has today taken a loan of £2000 out for me,

however I think the charges and rates they have added are ridiculous and

given the fact i had paid so many months interest on them dispute what i owe.

 

Does anyone no if these companies will accept a reduced settlement to get rid off them

and making sure my defaults on my credit file become satsified?

 

Or do i have to request my credit agreemtment to work out exactly how much i owe and have paid ect...

Any advice will be great,

 

this is my first post an

 

i am new to this.

Hi and welcome.

 

I have had no personal experience with Quick Quid so someone else will need to advise you on them. I have however had dealings with Wonga and TXT Loan. First and foremost you should email each of them advising them of your situation. I would acknowledge that you’re aware you have not paid anything to them in the last few months but make them aware that this has been down to stress and worry.

 

When I was dealing with Wonga and TXT I did not submit any expenditure information; however a lot of posters on here recently have indicated that they’re asking for these more often. They might come back to you and request this and as far as I’ve read the best thing to do is include as little information as possible – only monetary values incoming/outgoing.

 

I have to say that my experience with both of these companies were fairly timid in comparison with some of the things I’ve read online. You have to be firm with them though and let them know that the interest/charges/any other fees are too much for you to afford and you won’t be paying them any more than the original loan was for and one month’s interest.

 

You should ask them to accept your offer and make it clear that you do wish to honour your debt but that things have just got on top of you. Make it clear that you’re suffering financial hardship and simply cannot afford the sums they are asking along with your other monthly commitments.

 

I found TXT to be very accommodating actually – I used one of the templates from the library here and edited it slightly. They accepted my terms and I only paid back the original loan amount with no extra fees. With Wonga I was a bit like you – I ignored it for about six months before getting fed up of the letters and realising how ridiculous I’d been. I emailed their generic address and go a reply from a guy (can’t remember his name; will check paperwork later to confirm) who asked me to call his direct dial. I know phoning is the number one thing to never do but he was actually really helpful and I got email confirmation afterwards and managed to settle the debt, which was about £600.

 

Things to remember: don’t offer to pay more than you can afford, make them sure you do wish to get this resolved asap and make sure they’ve agreed to your terms (ensuring they won’t raid your bank account come pay day!)

this is what i sent to the PDL companys, one has replied i need some advice..

 

 

Re Account number*********

 

With reference to the money which you are calming on the above account.

 

I have managed to secure a loan from a family member and would like to make an offer of £350 in full and final settlement of the above agreement

 

I can confirm that I am unable to offer to pay the money which I owe in full. But have raised £350 and I want to offer this without predjudice payment in full and final settlement of the account. This offer is made on the clear understanding that, if accepted, neither you nor any associate company will take any other action to enforce or pursue this debt in any way whatsoever and that I will be released for any liability.

 

I also request that, if accepted, you will make an entry on a credit reference agency file relating to the above account as "satisfied" in full.

 

Please let me know if this is acceptable, and confirm by email or post that this is acceptable as a full and final settlement, i will then transfer the money into your account by direct transfer, payment can be made within 1 week of receiving your written agreement of this offer.

The payment will be made from my family members account on my behalf.If this is acceptable please confirm, if it is not please send a statement of account showing all activity on the account since inception in order for me to verify the amount claimed.I repeat i am unable to offer any more than stated and if this is unacceptable your only option is to commence court proceedings, if this is your Choice i again request a statement under pre action protocol procedure

You need that in writing before you pay anything. Plus you need written confirmation that the remainder of the debt will be wiped and it will not be sold to anyone and will jot be chased in the future.

 

You also seem to be falling into their trap by panicking , losing your cool and phoning them up.

Never make a payment without prior written agreement. Especially if you gave them your bank details. There is a very good chance that they will debit your account for more as and when they like.

They're full of..... Poo. DO NOT Under any circumstances pay with a debit card!!!

 

That all sounds a bit generic to me!

 

You need confirmation from them before parting with a penny!

 

Of course they can accept payment via other methods!

Just read up. Apparently they accept paypal payments? Buy still, don't pay until you have 100% confirmation that the £500 is f&f settlement and that they won't sell on the remainder

This is one of the emails they sent about paying by card- ill will post the other one also to Customer # 1604792The acceptable payment methods used by Quick Quid are: Bank Account, Debit Card, Bankers Cheque or Cashiers Cheque. Unfortunately, we do not accept PayPal, standing orders, giro slips, or provide an account number that you can make cash payments into. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. You may also have a friend or family member call in the payment on your behalf. Both yourself and the card holder must be present at the time of your call.

Remind them of their obligations under OFT guidance on debt collection.

 

They CANNOT refuse a valid method of payment towards the debt. Especially when they have a long history of fraudulent use of debtors details. Doing so means they they have specifically refused to accept your legitimate form of payment towards the debt.

 

I think the idiots behind QQ need to realise they are operating in the UK, and not the U.S where the laws are very different.

 

Personally i would escalate this to a formal dispute/complaint now. Write to them and ask for a copy of their complaints procedure. Exhaust this and then take it to the FOS.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..
