    • Good morning all, No further communication with P2G so now submitting my small claims action. Would be grateful for any feedback on my description of claim before I submit later. The defendant in this case is Parcel2Go Limited The claimant sent a parcel using Parcel2Go Ltd as a broker and Evri as the shipper containing two handmade bespoke wedding trays to a customer with tracking number P2Gxxxxxxxx. The parcel was never delivered although the defendant stated that three attempts had been made to deliver the parcel.  The claimants customer waited in for four days to receive the delivery but no delivery was attempted. There was no communication with the claimants customer.  Despite many web chats and emails the parcel was not delivered and on the Parcel2Go website it stated that the customer had refused delivery. This was not true as no delivery had been attempted.  I was informed that the parcel was being returned to me but after waiting three weeks was informed by Evri that the parcel was lost. I was offered compensation of £20 + shipping fee which I refused and after sending Parcel2Go a Letter of claim this was increased to £75 which I also refused. It is clear that the defendant is responsible for the loss of the parcel as they did not act with reasonable care and skill when handling the claimants parcel, contrary to section 49 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015. The claimant therefore seeks £370 in respect to the value of goods plus court costs. I thought it might be better to use the CRA rather than the Supply of Goods and Services Act as we are sole traders - is this correct?
    • No new development, I'm afraid. The last update I received was a letter from the court, advising that the case had been transferred to Croydon County Court.

    • Hi, I am aware there’s been few threads about this already but just wanted to confirm information on my case. I was with Village gym last year(2023) on initial 6 month usual contract they do, I lost my job and due to that I couldn’t afford to pay for gym nor I had any motivation to go to gym at that time so they sent me arc phone message in September 2023 that I owed them £140 so I paid them back on instalments in 2 months time.  Then I started receiving new years deals in December 2023 and I decided to give them a call but they never mentioned anything about 6 month contract or anything, only that it would be monthly rolling contract and I paid them for 2 months and then I realised both months they charged me £59 instead of £38 they offered me on the phone when I mentioned that I am still student, even though before I was paying £43 a month in mid 2023. I spoke to gym entrance lady and she said I should give a call to gym on the phone number so I did and whoever answered said they’ll pass my info to manager and he will give me a call back in 24 hours, of course no one called me back so I called again and they said same thing. And of course once again no one got in touch with me so I got tired of them charging me more than they should and decided to cancel my direct debit and stopped going there as I got new job with rotation shifts which is not good for me as I cannot visit gym after I finish at 10pm every second week.  And now in April I received arc message saying this :  Also they have my old flat address where I used to live. What is the  best thing to do for me please? Thank you!

    • 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.

Offer arrived in the post today.

 

£30 offer from a £390 claim. :confused:

 

The funniest thing is the letter seems to think my account is still open as they refer to checking ministatments and that future charges would stand.

 

Will be sending them a letter accepting the £30 but not as final settlement and also informing them of there inability to write relevant letters.

Can someone glance at this letter to see if its over the top or not:

 

Dear Lindsay O Donnel,

 

Thank you for your AUTOMATED letter dated the 8th June 2006, you appear to have sent an incorrect automated letter as your threat for closing my account in future is incorrect as it is already closed.

 

Firstly I would like to accept your offer of £30 as a partial settlement of my claim but I will continue to pursue Halifax for the full amount, please send a cheque to the above address payable to Mr X.

 

Please also note the deadline for a positive response to my Letter Before Action is the 20th June 2006 if I do not receive the total amount (£391.83) before this deadline I will be starting court proceedings with no further warnings.

 

Yours sincerely,

Halifax - £1400 reclaimed. Now on a crusade to help others!

UPDATE:

 

Nearly there!

 

Reply from Halifax today.

 

Offering to settle the claim for the full amount sort of.

 

Original Claim:

 

£391.83 charges and interest.

8% Interest (court) £51.48

 

Total : £443.31 (£493.31 inc court fee)

 

There version:

£330 charges

£66.05 approximate interest that Halifax has calculated on your account as result of charges

No mention on Court 8% interest so guessing its the £66.05 one (which is larger for a lesser claim!)

 

Total : £396.05 (£446.05 inc court fee)

 

 

They claim in the letter a statment detailing which charges is included in the letter, suprise suprise its not included and have called them they will send on Monday.

 

From the looks of it it would appear that 2 £30 charges are being disputed, and the £1.83 in intrest they charged is not being paid(fair enough)

 

But I can't work out how they get a greater amount of intrest then me for a lesser claim. :confused:

 

Will double check my statments but I'm confident that I got it right first time.

 

One thing is the balance of my account when they closed it was -£84.85 (all charges they added) I never paid this and they never hassled me about it. But the last charges were not £30 ones so its not them they have removed.

Update:

 

The Halifax thinks I'm imagining charges, it seems two are not on there list of charges! I even have the printed statments they sent me :p.

 

Awaiting them to get back to me when they have had a chance to look at it.
