    • The NTK is pretty good at complying with the Act  as is the Notice to Driver so no help there. I seem to remember OPS getting hammered by a Judge [in brighton I think] so they seem to have tightened po their act since. The organ grinder is the MA and the monkey is OPS.
    • @jk2054 and @BankFodder - Your feedbacks in posts #199 and #202 have been incorporated into the attached WS. As usual, amends are in blue in this draft. Based on other WS drafts I've seen where the issues in dispute are part of the WS, I built my first draft WS in the same format and hadn't seen it to be an issue before. You will notice that the 'witness statement' has been replaced with 'Claimant's Statement' so that issues in dispute does not need to be on a separate page before the WS. This is especially given the work that has gone in to reduce the size of the WS to 8 pages. Also thanks for the suggestions re: confidentiality - I agree with your views and will stand firm on this if a condition of confidentiality is brought up. I have not been approached by Evri on this forum or by email. I haven't yet had success in paying the hearing fee. I am calling the court as often as I can (during work breaks/lunch etc.) and have sent 2 emails to the court requesting a call back. If i don't have any success by the end of this week, I'll send another email chasing for a call back. @BankFodder - Also attached is an invoice from Packlink which shows that I was charged by Packlink for these services: "drop-off at EVRi - Next day delivery" and "Proof of Delivery". It also has the payer's address and there are "Origin" and "Destination" fields which have the postcode of the sender and the recipient (I have redacted personal details in the attached invoice).  I am already including this in my evidence bundle (without the redaction) but wanted to share this redacted version so that other people can consider this as example in their bundle of Packlink and Evri's contract being instigated by the sender of the parcel who has paid for the service, and further shows that there is information in the invoice to identify that a third party beneficiary (sender / recipient) is present in the contract between Packlink and Evri. If this invoice is no good, then please let me know / delete it from this post. Draft - Witness Statement and Court Bundle redacted.pdf Packlink invoice - REDACTED.pdf
    • It can be frustrating when clients fail to pay for services or products rendered, ignore payment reminders, or claim an inability to pay. How quick do you pass to a Debt Collection Agency like www.corporatedebtrecovery.co.uk 
    • The Court s pretty informal. The Judge [who you call "Judge" rather than Sir or madam] will not be wearing a wig and gown just a suit and it is advisable that you do the same and a tie. Other than that the Judge will do most of the talking .If they haven't received a WS from the scrotes either the case will probably be thrown out straight away. Usually the Judge will ask their lawyer a number of questions then ask for your take on things and then the case will be decided.  UKPC 0 Mystic Bertie 5. Then ask for your expenses time off work [if not being paid by your company while in Court, travelling and parking costs and occasionally they will allow something like 5 hours research at I think £8 per hour. Later celebrate and post us the result and how much fun it was. You will wonder  why you worried about it so much. Next time will be much easier.🙂

    • 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.

I received a pretty swift reply today from the Directors office requesting further info so they can investigate, they said it will take no longer than 3 days to get back to me.

 

I included all the details in my original email, including all the lies I've been told, and the unnecessarily aggressive delivery drivers

I think they've thought it's a pretty bad case after reading it all so are dealing with it quickly.

 

It's no wonder they're going into administration, the company is a complete disaster, hundreds if not thousands of people unhappy with their service, or lack of I should say!

 

Thanks everyone for your help with this, I know it's not over and I will report back to you what they say in the reply

You've all been brilliant in giving me the extra confidence with your advice and help to pursue them for how I've been treated.

Harlow is still a distribution Centre (At the Moment ) but as far as I am aware the Main Service HUB is located at Skelmsdale (At the Moment) which is also a distribution Centre .

 

The Harlow Service Hub was a disaster by all accounts, and yes it was not long built and was located inside the distribution Centre .

 

Just to add I dont think we will be hearing from Matt the COMET rep anytime soon but who knows .

 

I also notice the COMET Web Site is down the end is Nigh I am afraid .

 

All and all a once proud and Famous Family run business with its origins in HULL nearly extinct due to total Mis-Management at Senior level for many years .

 

No it has nothing to do with Amazon and the likes it has to do with total Mis-Management.

 

 

The writing has been on the wall for a few years with customers still being strung along up until the bitter end .

Regards

The lady at the directors office said to give them up to 3 working days to respond after investigating.

 

Tomorrow will be the fourth working day so I'm expecting a reply, if I do get anywhere I will post up,

 

I'm guessing I won't get a reply and I'm not going to get a refund.

Called the extracare people today to get a full refund as I've not received any response within three working days as promised by the directors office

 

I'm meant to be getting a call back tomorrow from a manager at extracare, if it doesn't get sorted I'm literally going to be forced into taking it to the small claims court.

Before you do that, you need to send them a LBA informing them that they have a certain period (7 to 14 days) in which to refund you or you will seek a claim via the small claims track.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

There's nothing I can do, the repairs are currently carried out by comet and comets assets are seized.

I'll have to wait for the administrators to announce what will be happening, if comet does go under the warranty company will be getting a new repairs place, if this is does happen I'll send the tv to them for repair.

Literally no point me sending it to comet again as they've blatantly got no money to fix or refund, that's why it keeps being returned with no repairs done to it.

Sorry herp that was not the reason , the reason was they were totally INEPT a long time before that regarding Customer Service repairs and how they dealt with them .

 

The thing is, Comet damaged it, Comet failed to repair, Comet are offering to pick up the TV and repair again.

 

But Comets assets are frozen due to the administration so I simply cannot get a refund from Comet, nor do they have money to repair it, that's why it's been returned to me completely wrecked.

 

That's what makes sense to me anyway as my repairs occurred right before the announcement of administration, I think any mistakes they'd made months prior to administration were generally down to them being rubbish though.

 

Once the administrators have announced what's happening then I'll perhaps be able to get something sorted, but until then, I can't send the TV off for repair as they've already proven they can't fix it, but they can't refund me either.

 

In short, I'm screwed for the time being and have no clue what to do other than wait.

FINALLY some light at the end of the tunnel!

 

I've had a call from the warranty group who run extracare, they want pictures of the tv before and after damage, which I have.

 

They want a copy of the condition report the delivery driver signed and put "no visible damage" on it.

 

They also asked if I could get an engineer to look over the TV and diagnose exactly what the issue is with it,

I'm not really keen on this idea though as that is going to cost me money, I know exactly what the issue is, it's horizontal banding.

 

Just thought I would let you know what has happened.

Hi

 

I would write (always get proof of posting)

and refute their suggestion that you employ the services of another engineer to diagnoise the fault

as you require clarification from them that your cost for this will be reimbursed

and that you will be reimbursed for all the phonecalls and administration required to sort out

a problem caused by their companies negligence and failing to provide the proper service.

by returning a customers property damaged.

What I'll do when I reply with all the details they've asked for is tell them outright what the problem is and that there's no need for an engineer,

any engineer that attempts to fix it with two brain cells will see it's horizontal banding,

 

it's a really simple problem to diagnose once some searching around the internet has been done to find out the terminology for it.

 

It's an inherent fault with a lot of Plasma tvs and users are advised that the tv should be serviced if they suffer with this issue.

 

I'm not paying for an engineer, that's absurd.

 

They can send one out if they want though, but they won't.

UPDATE!

 

Refund is on it's way for the full price of the TV! The warranty group have taken ownership and written it off.

 

In all fairness the lady at Comet who's been helping me the past couple of days has been a godsend, she's had to blag for this for me and I'm over the moon

 

Can't believe I've finally got the result I wanted :-D
