    • Do not under any circumstances plead guilty until we know what we are dealing with. It's a sure way to 9 points. The tried and tested way to handle this is to plead not guilty to both charges and offer to plead guilty to speeding provided the "Fail to give information" charge is dropped. But I am concerned about this "ticket refused" sticker. I've never heard of this before. A "ticket" is not a term used in connection with speeding offences. There seems a distinct possibility that your response was received by the police but one thing worries me: I've never heard of a sticker being placed on a response and it being returned "Return to Sender". t's just not what ticket offices do. If you could post a picture of this document and the sticker it might help.  If you can show the response was received you may have a defence to the "Fail to Provide" charge (provided you completed your response properly). If the police are saying you did not respond they cannot succeed with a speeding charge (as they have no evidence you were driving). But if you did not respond, who put the sticker on the document and sent it back yo you?
    • lolerz, many thanks for your reply and correcting my big mistake, oh dear start again. They sent the section 48 along with the Form NO 6A, it was sitting on top of the paperwork, sorry about that. SO they have sent me a Form No 6A and i have received the court paperwork with the claim form and defence paperwork.

    • Hi, below is a draft of the letter Address: Hugo Martin Director of Legal and Company Secretary EVRi Parcelnet Ltd trading as Evri CAPITOL HOUSE, 1, CAPITOL CLOSE LEEDS LS27 0WH REQUEST OF CONTRACTS      Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing in regards to the ongoing small claims case ____. In your Defendant’s response you make reference to a pre-existing commercial agreement between yourselves and Packlink (2.7). In that, you claim to have a clause removing customers third party rights under the Contract (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999. I would like to request a copy of this contract and confirmation of the date on which the exclusion of third party rights term was included in it. If you refuse to provide this then I will be henceforth referring to that refusal in the claim, including to the Judge. I also notice that you have destroyed tracking information due to "lapse of time" in line with your data protection policy (2.12). Can you share where this data protection policy is disclosed to customers? I also ask you to forward you a copy of that data protectiono policy, and again if you refuse to provide this then I will be henceforth referring to that refusal in the claim, including to the Judge. Kind regards,
    • Firstly, thank you for filling in the sticky so quickly - we wish everyone who comes here would do that! You're in the clear.  MET don't know who the driver was.  They can use Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 to transfer liability to the keeper if their bilge arrives within 14 days - they didn't send it out till 102 days after!!! So sit on your hands.  MET will come out with threat after threat but ultimately will do nothing. Have a read of other threads for this car park - we are having a tsunami of cases at the moment. Be sure to come back here though if they ever send you a Letter of Claim.

    • 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.

Can anyone please adivse me! i am preparing my MCOL, in my LBA i stated i would be claiming interest back, i thought it would be easy to work out...! if i use the 'simple' spreadsheet do i just type in what was taken, the date etc and then will the spreadsheet automatically work out the interest? do i then just send it off? i'm so confused im tempted to just claim for the charges instead. Ive read the FAQs and vampiress info, im worried because im feeling like i don't know what im doing, this interest stuff is confusing me!

There is a little confusion when it comes to interest.

 

There is the interest that was taken from your account as part of the bank charges and the interest that can be claimed under s.69 of the the County Courts Act.

 

The interest taken from your account is a git to work out and requires lots of work so you need to balance if the extra few quid is worth it. In my case (only £1113 over the six years) it wasn't worth it for me as I was never beyond my overdraft limit for very long.

 

The interest claimed under s.69 is yours by way of statute. This is the 8% that the simple spreadsheet calculates for you.

 

Don't forget that the appropriate fee charged by the Courts EXCLUDES the s.69 interest, so if you're close to the £5000 small claims "limit" then don't worry about the interest taking you over.

 

Hope this helps.

thanks for the replies, to clarify, am i right in thinking that there are two types of interest? one being the interest charged as part of the bank charge, the other being what you are entitled to claim the s69 thing? so if i just wanted to claim the s69(?) interest i would simply use the simple charges spreadsheet, put in the charge, amount and date, and then it calculates the 8% interest? is that all i need to do?

is it that clear cut?

by the way the bank charges amount to 2,708.00

ive just gone through all the charges on the simple spreadsheet, ive just totalled up the whole list of charges again and calculated the interest, which comes to £430.87 over the last six years, the total charges came to £2,730.50, which is £22.50 more than it came to before as i have overlooked a charge, i want to ask does my 8% interest amount seem ok, have i done it right? and also what should i do now that i have included the charge i'd forgotten to mention before? does it matter as the amount i am now requesting is more than the original figure i told them? sorry for being a pain!!

The 8% figure seems perfectly feasible, but it's impossible to say definitively, since it depends on the number and amount of charges and when they date from. A claim of say £800 dating from 6 years ago is likely to attract more interest than £1200 of charges in the last 2 years or so.

Good idea. This is the stage where it's worth double-checking everything to make sure you get it right first time. It'll make your claim go much more smoothly.

 

More and more people are filing incorrect claims because they're rushing it, making silly mistakes and not bothering to research first or ask when they're in doubt about something. They then have to go through the whole rigamarole of amending their claim.

just wanted to ask, i calculated my 8% interest by using the spreadsheets, as i have had an overdraft with the account, does it change anything? am i still ok to just charge the 8% do i have to do anything else? ive just been reading some threads and im getting more confused

I have this still to come but I would ask yourself how many hours have you devoted to it this evening without a break. If it were me I would have an early night and come back refreshed to it tomorrow. Sounds like you are doing all right though.
