      EVRI have lost parcel £300 model kit

      Have we seen your court bundle?   If we haven't then it's probably an idea to post it up here especially the index page and the witness statement so we can see if there is anything which might need adding or changing

      "Care to briefly tell someone who isn't tech savvy - i.e. me! - how you did this?" Its pretty simple although not obvious. You open the google maps app > click your profile picture > Click Timeline from the list > click today > choose the date you want to see the timeline from. Then you'll see your timeline for that day. Often, places you have visited will have a question mark beside them where google wants you confirm you have actually visited. You either click 'yes' if you have, or you click 'edit' to enter the actual place you visited. Sometimes, you'll see 'Missing visit' This probably happens if your internet connection has dropped out at that time. You simply click 'Add visit' and enter the place. The internet on my crappy phone often loses connection so I have to do that alot.   OK dx, understood mate.

      I have now been given a court date vs Evri, 4th Sept 2024. I have completed my court bundle, when am I expected to send copies to the court and Evri and should it be in hard copy or electronic? The Notice of Allocation states that no later than 7 days before the directions hearing both parties must send to the other party their final offers to settle. Does this mean I will have to tell Evri what I'm willing to settle? Rgds, J

      Can I get a Cifas marker removed?

      By LilMissM · Posted

      Ok how about this to the CEO? I know it sounds super desperate but lets call a spade a spade here, I am super desperate: Dear Sir, On 29th November 2023 I took out a loan of £5000 with you. Unfortunately very early into 2024 I found myself in financial difficulty (unexpected bills and two episodes of sickness and the tax office getting my tax code wrong resulting in less pay for two months) and I contacted you (MCB) on 13th February 2024 asking if there was any way I could extend the length of my loan to 36 months. I fully explained why I was requesting this and asked for your help. I did not receive a reply to that email so I again contacted you on 7th March 2024 to advise you of a change in my circumstances which resulted in me having to take out a DMP and asking you to confirm that the direct debit had been cancelled. You would have also received confirmation of this DMP from StepChange but you did not acknowledge receipt of my email. I have only managed to make one payment from my loan but did try and contact MCB to discuss extending my loan, help etc.  I have now therefore fallen behind on several of my debts, yours included, and as a result you have lodged a Cifas marker against my name for "evasion of payment", which has resulted in me having to change banks, which has been an extremely difficult process because of the Cifas marker. I do not feel you have been fair or given me the opportunity to fully explain my situation to you before you lodged the marker against my name. I appreciate it is a business and you have acted accordingly, but I did try to make contact to arrange alternative arrangements and at no point, not even to this day, did I ever intend to not repay my loan. I cannot stress to you enough how much this has affected my mental health. I am having trouble sleeping and my existing health condition has been exacerbated by all of this. What I would like you to do is to please, please remove the Cifas marker and let me make arrangements to pay the loan back through a DMP.  Please sir, I am begging for your help here. I am not a dishonest person and I have never been in a situation like this before. I am desperately trying to make things right but this marker is killing me. Please can you help me? I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully,

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

Perhaps the 'not qualified' bit is that the assessor is a healthcare professional (dr, nurse or physio are favourite role fillers) but is not specifically qualified in mental health care/conditions.

Have you gone through the descriptors and written down how you fulfill them, giving evidence from daily life (points 2 and 3 in my previous post)- this the most important thing and is the backbone of your case. You can have letters of evidence saying you're unfit, and state what you think was wrong with the atos assessment, BUT, unless you show that you meet the criteria (and putting the case in writing is best) then your appeal will fail.

 

hi estellyn,

yes i went through everything and listed also my disagreements..

i feel i gain 15 points on one and 6 on another...

can i continue to send evidence after i send tribunal acceptance form? or must the evidence accompany it?

You can continue to send evidence - they like to get it at least 4 weeks before the hearing, but will normally even accept evidence on the day.

can i ask... how do i go about requesting the 2 year break in being called for another atos grilling?

 

Er, you can't request a 'break'. What you can do is give information in your submission about your prognosis and hope that the Tribunal recommend you don't be assessed for a while - but be aware, even if the Tribunal do recommend a period before reassessment, the DWP and ATOS do not need to follow it - it is only a recommendation and has no weight in law.

I think it is the tribunal doctor who suggests a period of time...i.e. 2 yrs before next review...but the dwp don't have to do that its their choice, they stuck with it in my case but its not set in stone and I don't think you can request it.

hi folks,

this is n update...

i had a visit (first time) from a care coordinator

i was quite disturbed by the initial chat...she suggested to me j.s.a if i cant worksad.gif.

i was very distressed by that and said; but i'm not well.. if i go down that line i am saying that i'm ready for work!

 

it seems to me she hadn't done a lot of research, my confidence is not good ..regarding her...but later she said that she would go to the tribunal with me ..if she can...she is away now for 2 weeks before i see her next...i did ask her (on the phone before i met her) if she would get the psychiatrist to write me a letter of support...?

She replied that it wasn't in his "remit".sad.gif

However... i have been talking to welfare rights(who will represent me also at tribunal)and she said it IS in his remit.

also i had a good letter from a psychiatrist i saw only once...any comments please. i dont want to ruin things with not getting correct support.

upon reading some posts here.. i am given to understand that the tribunal for esa... can only recommend to the dwp what to do...is this correct?

No, the Tribunal decision regarding points awarded IS law. The recommendation regarding reassessment time period is only a recommendation though.

 

The DWP can choose to challenge any benefit decision by a first tier tribunal, and take it to the upper tribunal - this is very rarely done. In hundreds of appeals I repped, though the dwp/LA often threatened to take things further, they never took a single case to upper Tribunal. If they are thinking about it, payment can be held up until they receive the statement of reasons and then decide not to go to upper tribunal after all - but even that is relatively rare. In the rare case of them actually taking the matter to UT, yes, no payment will be made until the UT decision is made.

Hello there.

 

I've merged your new thread with the old one as it's about the same topic. We've asked you before not to start a new thread every time you have a question, please continue to post on this one.

 

As regards your post #59, I hope the guys will know, but I would say that playing games won't necessarily help you.

 

My best, HB

I'm pretty sure this site would not condone any plans to go in there and be deliberately aggressive - I certainly don't! And suggesting things like that just makes things harder for those with mental health issues who genuinely suffer with uncontrolled anger issues.

 

And if you refused to speak, you'd just get failed.

you represent people? what is la?

 

I used to work helping people with their appeals before I became too ill to work.

 

LA is Local Authority who deal with housing and council tax benefits (or council tax reduction now).

Yes, but don't you see that planning to be aggressive and cause damage is actually a criminal act?

ok, but its criminal what atos is getting away with and its puppeteers.

 

There are other ways to deal with it than planning a criminal act though, OK?

Fair enough, and be assured that people here do understand the frustration and distress. We just need to be careful what we say.

This makes no sense at all. You can only claim JSA if you can work. Some people are turned down for JSA on the basis that they're too ill to work.

 

Whilst a disability itself doesn't exclude you from JSA, not being able to meet the conditions of claiming will do.
