    • 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.

Thanks to the great advice on here, I have begun the process of ending this PDL nightmare. I have done my budget and know what I can pay each PDL. I have a new account setup for wages etc and its not linked to any other account.

 

My loans are to

 

Wonga - Default end of Feb

Swift Sterling - Default end of Feb

PDUK - Default end of Feb

PD express - Default end of Feb

247 Money Box - Clear in full end of Feb

Zebit - Pay most of it in Feb

Quid.co.uk - Pay most of it in Feb

Money Shop - Clear in full end of Feb

Peachy - Clear in full end of Feb

 

Cheque Centre - 12 month installment loan - will go one month in arrears end of Feb. (not sure how they will react) if anyone has any experience of this type of loan please let me know.

 

Yesterday I phoned both banks Natwest and Lloyds to cancel CPAs and low and behold they put me through to the visa disputes team who informed me that I didnt have any CPAs setup on my account. So today I will hand in letters of cancellation and will also report all cards stolen. I want to keep one of the accounts active for paying out to PDLs as I wont give out any details of my new account.

 

So last night I sent nice emails off to Wonga, Swift Sterling, PD express and PDUK.

 

Swift Sterling - emailed back saying thanks for letting them know and to email them with a time that they can contact me.

Wonga - emailed back saying to log into my account and see repayment options, did log in but just the set reminder to extend option at the moment. Suppose I wont see anything until I default, they did thank me for getting in touch.

PD express - sent me a text message stating that if I wanted to extend then replay to the text. Strange as I said I wouldnt be able to pay anything this month.

PDUK - no response as yet.

 

No money left in any bank accounts so if they are trying they wont have any success.

 

Will keep this thread going for my own sanity and hopefully help others.

 

Cheque centre one is the unknown to date, its an installment loan but if I cleared at the end of the month id save alot of money. Might need to see what I can do as they seem the most agressive.

 

I really could kick myself for creating this mess :mad2:

Don't report them stolen. Report them lost or compromised. Also, do NOT call any PDL's, and do not allow PDL's to call you. If they want to discuss the debt, they can do it by letter or email.

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..

Some banks will ask for a crime number. It's much easier to simply tell them that the card is lost or its been compromised and you want it cancelled immediately and a new one issued.

Payday Express will probably start with their strict criteria for repayment plans bull and start adding the interest/charges. If this is the case then make a formal complaint to [email protected] once you have tried to negotiate with them and stand ya ground. You could be lucky, though ;)

 

Payday UK i found easiest to talk to over the phone after i defaulted. They put a repayment plan in place straight away and never added anything extra to the debt.

 

QuickQuid are easy enough to handle.

 

I did have dealings with Cheque Centre but that was for a short-term loan. They were fairly okay to deal with and got little hassle off them, although i did pay it off in full not long after defaulting.

Thank survivor, from what I've read express will be tricky and I will approach cheque centre tomorrow.

 

No backing down if it goes well I will be clear by June. Applying to credit union for a loan as the interest is minor plus it will force me to save money as well.

 

Not doing a consolidation loan though just end up even more grief

I don't know if they will go for a loan, I can't apply until the end of the month. Just going to deal with things the way they are and if I can sort it quicker then do be it.

 

I'm actuall glad this is happening, a major kick up the ass and hey even if I was stupid enough to even think about using them again I bet none of them would touch me with a barge pole.

CPA's arent set up against the card. They are set up against the account.

All you need to do is take the letter to your nearest branch, get it photocopied, signed, stamped and dated. You keep the copy, they keep the original.

 

Also, make sure you word it like this " You are instructed to Cancel and Deny ANY and ALL transactions to the company xxxx and their associated merchants xxxx"

 

From then on, it doesnt matter what excuse they try and give. If the money comes out, they are obliged by law to put it back, and remove any charges.

One more bit of advice, get the letter to your branch a few hours before close of business at least 24 hours before the transaction is due to take place. The bank wont be able to make any excuses that way, and remember, they cannot refuse to accept instructions on your account. If they are adamant they wont stop the transactions, then we can look into BCOBS, a full and formal complaint, as well as really making them see their behinds with a letter of appropriation.

My D-Day is the 28th and money secured, I will hand in the letters over tomorrow so they have plenty of time to cancel everything. I don't have an overdraft but have read of people being put into unauthorised overdraft due to visa agreeing the payment, is this true ? If so I will just cancel accounts.

 

Had responses from Pduk and pd express wanting IE forms just going send back the basic and nicely tell them that's all there getting

Just stand your ground with the bank. You dont want to care what the silly clerks at the branch have to say. All you need is for them to perform the above steps with the letter so you are completely covered.

Only high priority creditors such as mortgage lenders or courts can demand an I&E. PDL's try and demand in the vain illusion that they think they are a high priority creditor. However, the only thing you should give them, if anything, is a very simplified budget summary and sign it as a declaration of fact. Way too many PDL's demand a full I&E form, bank statements, payslips etc. None of which they have any rights to see.

Pretty much. Theyll probably get annoyed and demand more, but if they do this, we can write a nice little letter to shut them down.

Update-

 

Sent basic IE Info to Pduk and PDE last night, so I'm not expecting a response till the end of the week.

 

Did hear back from swift sterling, basically saying repayment plan is not an option, so I've sent off the email again stating what I can pay and when it will start from.

 

Letters typed up for banks and I will hand these in today.

 

Need to contact wonga again today as they sent me the standard log in to your account email.

 

The dance goes on.

Remind swift sterling of the guidlines which they must adhere by. Refusing a repayment plan when a debtor has shown they are in financial difficulty is a big no no.

I sent an email to swift sterling again stating repayment plan is the only way to resovle the debt issue. If i get a dissmissive reply I will sdo the reminder email. Just need to find the exact wording from OFT regarding repayment plans so I can quote them.

 

Payday express have come back again, they still want me to call (which I wont do) and sort out the plan. Funny they say they want me to call as it can take upto 3 days to respond to emails. the email I sent was yesterday evening, so I think they are telling fibs.

 

still waiting to hear from Wonga and PDUK.

 

One qusetion I have, is it ok to make faster payments to these companys from my new account? im assuming it will only send the same information as listed on a standing order.
