    • Thank you. You contacted directly with the parcel broker so your best option is to proceed directly against them for breach of contract. I hope you have read enough to understand that you will not be able to rely on the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Do you understand why? Have Parcel to Go giving you a reason for declining reimbursement? Do you have anything in writing from your customer which shows that they did not refuse delivery and which identifies the actual circumstances of the situation?

    • Perhaps you would care to read this and reflect on your continuing comparison of Israel to Nazi Germany Jugg    ALEX BRUMMER: How grotesque of pro-Palestine protesters to besmirch Auschwitz, the place where my grandparents died WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK As the son of a refugee from the horrors of the Holocaust, I can feel nothing but contempt for the ignorance, gross... My elderly aunt Sussie and cousin Sheindy had been teenagers at Auschwitz and Belsen but survived and are alive to this day. What they will make of the protesters who waved flags, heckled and chanted as Israelis took part in the March Of The Living – the annual walk from Auschwitz to Birkenau – I cannot imagine. The images now circulating of the protesters are indescribably disturbing. They can only bring back memories of those final moments Sheindy shared with my grandparents when my grandmother Fanya squeezed her hand and told her to lie about her age to avoid the gas chambers. Claiming she was older, and could work, meant that Sheindy lived, not died. The outrage perpetrated by Hamas on October 7 has brought back the most terrifying memories for these two women – memories of pillage, mutilation and starvation. The Holocaust, or Shoah to use the Hebrew word, was the deliberate, industrial-scale killing of Jews.  It is bad enough that pro-Palestinian and pro-Hamas sympathisers have chosen to steal the language of the Holocaust.  Any comparison between Israel's retaliation and the monstrous genocide of the 1940s is odious and anti-Semitic
    • Thank you JK2054 and BankFodder for your replies. The information requested is as follows:   My wife and I are sole traders supplying bespoke, handmade wedding trays and other items through our website. We do not sell on ebay. We had an order for two trays (invoice value £370) that were shipped on Monday 25th March. We used P2G as the broker and Evri as the shipper. We declared the value but did not take out insurance. As the trays were a present for a wedding on Saturday 30th March we checked the progress of delivery on the Thursday to see that there had been an attempt to deliver on the 27th but the driver failed to deliver as the customer’s gate was shut (customer informs us that the gates are open between 7am-7pm. We contacted the customer who informed us she had been waiting in all week and there had been no attempt of a delivery. Evri allege they attempted to deliver on the 28th & 29th. On the P2G web site on the 4th April at 14.17 it stated that the customer refused delivery. At 14.28 it updated to say there was a problem with the address and at 14.32 updated to say the customer had refused delivery. At 14.35 updated again to say it was being returned. Last entry was on the 7th April that it was being processed at the depot. We never received it. I have had six web chats with P2G between the 4th-30th April. On the 26th April, I had an offer of £20 plus cost of delivery (£6.72) from P2G which I rejected. During this time, I also contacted Evri that resulted in an email from Evri Customer Services (20th April) stating that they had lost the parcel. I replied requesting details of the attempted delivery but received no reply. After emailing Evri again on the 23rd asking again for the information I received a phone call from someone called Haleemah on the 25th who apologised and promised to send an email with a link to submit a claim form. I subsequently received an email with the link which only took me to a page that stated “Page not found”. After informing Evri customer services of the problem (to which no reply was forthcoming) a couple of days later I retried the link but it only took me to the Evri website. I believe that I have a good case against both companies but would appreciate guidance on which path to go down. I have read most of the information on this site, which has been very helpful and much appreciated, particularly the various court transcripts. I appreciate that this process is a marathon and not a sprint and am fully aware that I need to get everything in the correct order before starting on the legal road. I am sure this covers the current position but if further info is needed please let me know.  
    • Everything at small claims revolves around informality and common sense, there are no "special" ways to have to do things. The site manager's WS will be like yours and the one I linked to - just much shorter.  There need to be the introductory hearings about the case, the parties, etc., and the concluding Statement of Truth. In the middle just a couple of paragraphs where they say who they are, how they know you, and about permission being given by the landowner to use the car park. Superb.  I've added another section about the signage to the suggested WS sections three posts above. Yes, it's perfectly possible.  It'd be a good idea to phone the court on the 18th to see if they have paid.

    • 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.

Will add charges up today and send back the Claims form. However, do I immediatly charge for the 8% interest of wait till it goes to court like with a bank account?

Ron

Hi there,

 

I have received a second letter from MBNA offering to take £520 off of my current bill. The total sum owed is £1159, excluding interest.

 

Now, although this is a very nice offer, I want nee expect the full amount which would lower my debt significantly.

 

Can anyone advise where I can locate the template to accept the offer but make them aware that I will claiming for the full amount.??

 

Regards,

 

Ron

Hi Ron

 

Have u sent of your prelim letter? If u have not then u just need to adjust your prelim letter to something like this.

 

Further to your letter dated xxxxx i accept your offer of a refund of charges totalling xxxxx on the understanding as a partial settlement towards my claim. I intend to continue for the remainder of the charges added to my account between xxxxx and xxxxxx

 

Then use template prelim letter.

 

You can use the paragraph on top of your LBA if you have got that far.

Hi Rob,

What I sent was just a request for Statements.

After totalling up its looks as thought its over a £1000.

Should I just respond with Thanks but no thanks with a list of charges?

Out of curiosity, do I claim for Interest as well? As this is a credit Card and not a Bank account.

Regards,

 

Ron

Would someone mind reading through mt response below?

Looks OK to me but always good to get a second opinion.

 

"Thank you for your letter dated xx/xx/xxxx.

I respectfully decline your generous offer of settlement and request, once again, that you return to me all charges imposed on this account, totalling £xxxxxx. This is excluding interest. I have enclosed a list of charges for your perusal.

 

I will accept the sum offered only as part settlement and on the clear understanding that I will pursue recovery of the remainder, with a County Court claim if necessary.

 

My letter sent previously indicates that you have until x/xx/xx to respond before Court action commences. However, I am willing to extend this by one week out of curtsey.

 

I trust this clarifies my position."

 

I sent this as my Preliminary approach for repayment.

 

Regards,

Ron

As stated in my earlier post you need to send a prelim letter from the bank template library.

 

At the top of the prelim letter write a similar paragraph to the one i wrote in red.

 

You should accept their offer as a partial payment but make it clear u will continue to pursue for the rest.

 

Also attach a list of charges to the prelim letter.

 

Interest

If you are going to claim the statatory 8% then this should be added when you submit your claim to MCOL.

 

If you decide to add contractual interest, this can be added at the prelim stage.

Well had a call today and they said I can pretty much expect a letter in the lost confirming a full refund (which is nice but we shall wait and see).

 

Once I recieve this letter, am I then eligiable to add the interest to the sum as the issue is not going to court?

 

Many Thanks,

Ask yourself why they are looking to settle early. Could be possible they owe your more than what u think. eg interest. I'm making a similiar claim to u also and i have claimed interest which has doubled my claim.

Good Point Rob.

 

My calculationas accumalted in about £1159.00 in fees. Now I asked them what they had worked it out to and they give me the exact same figure. However, I had not added the interest.

 

When I get the letter I will contact by phone with the Added interest Calculations.

 

Many Thanks Rob,

Ok good stuff. Use one of vampiress spreadsheets to work out your interest all you need to do is find the APR of the card.

Afternoon all.

 

Well just to update.

I contacted MBNA by post and confirmed that I only accepted there offer as part settlement. I will be claiming for the rest. That was 12 days ago. I specifically stated on the letter that they had 14 days to respond.

 

Heard nothing today so I called them up. Its seems that they have decided to set their own timescale and get back to me before the 24th. 1 week and four days after the time limit.

 

Really annoyed about this and feel like MBNA are not taking me seriously. Really want to send the LBA but not sure if I should wait for their letter and see what it says first. Can anyone advise?

 

For the record, the £520 was taken off my Credit Card balance which is still a Winner :D

 

Regards,

Hi,

 

Would really appreciate some help here if someone could offer it.

I was just looking through my claim and I am about to add the Interest. The APR rate is 15.9%.

 

I am trying to amend the spreadsheet to calculate at 15.9% but cant seem to get it to work out. Can anyone offer some advice?

 

Many thanks,

WINNERRRR!!

 

Hi Guys,

 

Just to confirm that I had a letter from MBNA today.

My Balance on my Virgin Credit Card was £2500 about two months ago.

 

I have had the card since about 2002 and was made redundant. I then had to take a job with a much lower salary. I had incurred some charges etc and was over the limit on my account by £500.

 

MBNA origionally offered me a £590 settelement which I accepted in part. I responded and informed them that I would continue to press for the full amount. They then offered me £690 on top of the £590. Again I accepted in part but made them aware that I would be claiming the outstanding £500.

 

I had a lovely letter in the post today which stated that MBNA were willing to refund the full amount to my credit card which in the space of two months has dropped from £2500 to £720.

 

This is a winning figure of £1780. I know I didnt get the cash but it still feels like a massive relief and a major weight off of my shoulders. I know £720 is still a good few quid but my aim to be debt free by Xmas 2007 is really back on course now.

 

I am waiting to hear from the court re: NatWest, and I will be submitting Court proceedings Vs Woolwhich, Natwest Visa, Cap 1, Halifax Visa, Welcome and Citi Fi in the not too distant future when all statements are made avaliable to me.

 

Guys, Thank you so very very much for all of your help. You have been great. If I can do it, then there is lots of hope for everyone :D

 

Cheers,

 

Really Chuffed Ron :p
