    • Please will you upload the defence in a PDF format document
    • Afternoon All - after 3 weeks of silence, this morning I received an email from HMCTS advising that P2G have rejected my claim. Decide whether to proceed Parcel2Go.com has rejected your claim. You need to decide whether to proceed with the claim. You need to respond before 4pm on 25 June 2024. Your claim won’t continue if you don’t respond by then. This is their ‘defence’ Their defence Why they disagree with the claim When choosing a service on the Defendants website, the Claimant chose to book their order with Evri and selected to take out £20 parcel protection which comes with the service. On the first page of the booking process, the Claimant entered the value of £265 for the contents and was offered parcel protection for loss or damages against their goods for £13.99 + VAT. The Claimant selected no, which then produced a pop up which explained 'We strongly recommend that you protect the full value of your item(s).' however, the Claimant still did not take this protection out and instead continued with the booking process. At the end of the booking process, the Claimant was offered this again which was refused and the Claimant continued with the booking by accepting the terms and conditions which re-iterates the information provided in the booking process. The parcel was sent, however, seems to be delayed in transit. The parcel finally started to track again, however, when delivered the parcel was empty with no contents. As such, the claim was re-opened and attempted to be settled for the £20 protection taken out in the booking process. This was refused by the Claimant as they felt they should be paid the full amount of the value entered when booking. Unfortunately, due to the refusal of the parcel protection in the booking process the Defendant is not liable to settle the claim to the value and only to the parcel protection taken out. The Defendant shall rely on the Terms and Conditions of carriage in particular section 9. The Defendant understands that the contents have not be handled with due care and attention, which is not being disputed, however, they are disputing the amount they are liable to. They have requested mediation, I’m sure not least to drag the case out even longer, but I can see no benefit to me in this and so shall reject it. As ever, I’d welcome your thoughts guys. g59   
    • I doubt HMCTS holds any data on whether arrests by AEAs required police assistance.  They couldn't or wouldn't provide data on how many of warrants issued were successfully executed - just the number issued!  In my experience, arrest warrants whether with or without bail are [surprisingly] carried out with little or no fuss.  I think it's about how you treat people - a little respect and courtesy goes a long way. If you treat people badly they will react the same way. Occasions when police are called to assist are not common and, having undertaken or managed many thousands of these over the years, I can only recall a handful of occasions when police assistance was necessary. On one occasion, many years ago, I arrested and transported a man from Hampshire to Bristol prison on a committal warrant. It was just me and he was no problem. I didn't know the Bristol area (pre Sat Nav) and he was kind enough to provide directions - seems he knew the prison.  One young chap on another committal warrant jumped out of his back window and I had to chase him across several garden fences.  When he gave up (we were both knackered) I agreed to drive by his girlfriend's house to say farewell for a while.  I gave them a few moments and he was fine. The most difficult are breach warrants but mainly in locating the defendant as they don't want to go back to prison - can't blame them.  These were always dealt with by the police until the Access to Justice Act transferred responsibility from them to the magistrates' courts. The fact was the police did not actively pursue them and generally only executed them when they arrested someone for something else and found they had a breach warrant outstanding.  Hence the transfer of responsibility.

    • 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 need some serious advice on what to do.

 

Long story short, I did something stupid and accepted a job that used PayPal. What it was is I had to accept money onto my PayPal account, and then withdraw it from my bank account to then send it back via Western Union. Apparently they were into e-currency trading and the website they gave me looked very genuine as it had the Forex logo and the different currency exchanges.

 

Now what happened is that PayPal put that money under review and asked me to send proof. After I did that I still lost and they refunded to the "buyer". I now have a negative balance of £719.48. I can't afford to pay it at once as I am currently unemployed and in benefits. I have been paying into my account bit by bit (paying £20, £10) and now my balance is -679.48. They now call me a lot and I actually called them back and explained my situation. They basically said in a nice way that I need to pay it back fully and asked me to ask family or friends to cover it for me and then pay them back. I can't really do that, and really don't want to. I don't want to go to court as I would not be able to afford it!

 

What do I do? and how long does it take before they send debt collection agency? And how long until they send me to court?

 

BTW, it's almost a month now since the reversal( 9/01/2013)

 

I don't even use PayPal. I only have it because sometimes I need it to pay something online. Other than that, I never use it.

 

Any awesome help would be greatly appreciated, as it stresses me out quite a bit.

Hi, sadly this seems quite a common '[problem]' that happening at the moment.

 

Did you see the job advertised in the Job Centre?

 

If you did find the job via the job centre I would report this to them.

 

The first thing you should do is report this to the police and hopefully get a crime number. Then send a copy of the number to Paypal and hopefully they will get off your back.

 

Hope you get it sorted

OK done. Will let you know what they say. It's really stupid though, why would they do that? Even though I gave them evidence they still sided with the [problem]mer, that's really unfair....and I'm actually really scared they are gonna say something like "we can't accept the Crime Reference Number"...

Success! Got this e-mail! (was tired of waiting for a proper email response so called them)

 

 

Dear ,

Thank you for contacting PayPal regarding your crime reference number.

 

I can confirm that we have received your crime reference number: ###############

 

I understand your frustration regarding this matter and regret any inconvenience this might have caused.

 

Yours sincerely,

Nicola

Hope now they're gonna back off a bit. I'll let you know what happens.

They are after their money as they cant collect it from your bank account. Phone them up and if you get someone with an Irish accent you will get some sense. If they sound like they are in the Phillipines ask to have a return call from Ireland as you cant talk to someone outside the EU due to Data Protection Laws (not true but it usually works)

Hi, I've just recieved a letter from Iqor. I find it very annoying that they transferred it to them as I have given them my Crime Reference Number so they shouldn't have transferred it. Do I send them a letter stating that I have been victim of fraud and have given PayPl the Crime Reference Number?

Hi just thought I'll update you all.

 

I did what you advised and sent them this letter:

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

Re:− Reference Number #########

 

This is to inform you that I dispute your letter of 20 February 2013 as I have been a victim of Fraud.

 

I have reported this to the police and have been given the following Crime Reference Number:################. This number has also been given to Paypal.

 

Please find attached the confirmation e-mail that the Crime Reference Number has been received by Paypal.

 

Looking forward to hearing from you

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Mr Zazelle

 

Ever since then, I have not heard from them, so I'm guessing they have dropped the case. I'd like to thank just_jue and assisted blonde for the help of sorting this out.

Hi i just wondered how you were getting on with this situation? As i am in a similar one. Involving an online job [problem]. Not quite the same job as you. I have already reported this to the police and have a crime reference number, i have also given a witness statement and provided the police with various supporting documents and evidence. I am also finding paypal not to be very helpful or grasping exactly what i am saying. they have been given my crime reference number. Thanks

Ever since I send that letter, I've not recieved any calls or letters from Paypal and Iqor. If you have given Paypal the crime reference number, make sure you get a confirmation in writing, so that if they do sent it to a dca, you can prove to them that Paypal recieved it and they wont do anythinh. Just follow the advice on here and you shouldnt get in trouble. I havent been on.my Paypal account ever since then so I dony know if they refunded it or not.

If they send it to a DCA, just tell the muppets that the "debt" is in deep dispute and if they contact you further then you will not hesitate to make full complaints to the relevant authorites and will add a comment on their fitness to hold a credit licence. Dont fear a DCA, they have no rights whatsoever.

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..

 

 

If my advice helps you, click the star icon at the bottom of my post and feel free to say thanks

Did they confirm receipt by writing? It's always better to have it in writing. Renegade is right, DCA's can't hurt you if you know what to do, there's no Credit Agreement so they can't force you to pay for something that you don't owe, they can't take you to court because they'll lose, and badly.

 

On my end, no new letters and reminders.
