    • I've looked through all our old NPE threads, and as far as we know they have never had the bottle to do court. There are no guarantees of course, but when it comes to put or shut up they definitely tend towards shut up. How about something like -   Dear Jonathan and Julie, Re: PCN no.XXXXX cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea that you actually expected me to take this tripe seriously and cough up. I'll write to you not some uninterested third party, thanks all the same, because you have are the ones trying to threaten me about this non-existent "debt". Go and look up Jopson v Homeguard Services Ltd, saddos.  Oh, while you're at it, go and look up your Subject Access Request obligations - we all know how you ballsed that up way back in January to March. Dear, dear, dear - you couldn't resist adding your £70 Unicorn Food Tax, you greedy gets.  Judges don't like these made-up charges, do they? You can either drop this foolishness now or get a hell of a hammering in court.  Both are fine with me.  Summer is coming up and I would love a holiday at your expense after claiming an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to your deafening silence.   That should show them you're not afraid of them and draw their attention to their having legal problems of their own with the SAR.  If they have any sense they'll crawl back under their stone and leave you in peace.  Over the next couple of days invest in a 2nd class stamp (all they are worth) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above
    • In anticipation of lodging my court claim next Weds 1 May (14 days after advising P2G that was my deadline for them to settle my claim) I have completed my first draft POC as below: Claim Claim number: xxxxx Reference: P2G MAY 2024   Claimant xxxxx   Defendant Parcel2Go 1A Parklands Lostock Bolton BL6 4SD  Particulars of Claim The defendant has failed to arrange for the safe delivery of the claimant's parcel containing a 8 secondhand golf clubs (valued at £265) that was sent to a UK address using their delivery service (P2G Reference xxxxx). The defendant contracted Evri to deliver the parcel (Evri Reference xxxxx) and refuses to reimburse the claimant on the grounds that the claimant did not purchase their secondary insurance contract. The defendant seeks to exclude their liability in breach of section 57 Consumer Rights Act. The secondary insurance contract is in breach of section 72. The claimant seeks reimbursement of £265, plus P2G fees of £9.10, plus postage costs for two first class letters to P2G of £2.70, plus court fees, plus interest. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from xxxxx to xxxxxx on £276.80 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £xxxx   Details of claim Amount claimed £276.80 I look forward to your thoughts and comments guys! As ever, many thanks - G59

    • 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.

I purchased a HP Pavilion All in One computer pc in Feb. 2010.

 

Since May last year I have been unable to use it properly as it keeps blue-screening.

 

I have taken it in for repair to 2 different companies one in May 2013

and the other in Nov. 2013 who have both replaced the hard-drive at a total cost of £180 .

 

It still keeps blue screening and

 

I was told by both companies to go back to PC World and state that my machine is not fit for purpose.

 

I was also informed by the last company that he would be willing to give me an engineers report letter

and that the machine should be in working order for 5 yrs. at least.

 

Can anyone advise me please,

Sounds like faulty ram, or maybe faulty drivers, if they simply mirrored the HDD and not performed a fresh install of the OS.

it is NOTHING to do with any guarantee or warranty

they are IN ADDITION

 

to your rights under SOGA

and do not replace or negate SOGA

 

under SOGa a product should remain free from faults for a 'reasonable time'

 

I would expect that to be +4yrs if not more.

 

put/ignore all mention of warranty/guarantee out of your mind

and any negotiations with the retailer

Hello renegadeimp,

 

They have done a fresh install of the operating system

we had to install other stuff that we use,

also the security software had to be installed again.

 

I have spent hours searching for a solution also but found nothing.

 

Some have said it looks like a motherboard fault

a second hand one on ebay was £125,

 

I won't spend another penny on this computer.

 

In the last 8 months the computer has been in 2 repair shops and it still isn't working properly.

 

Thanks for your reply.

if you still have the receipts for the repairs

 

copy those too

 

its further evidence there is something wrong

with the lappy.

 

with those two and you eng report.

it should be pretty obv to them its faulty.

 

sad you didn't go back to them in the first place

rather than taking it elsewhere.

 

if you have other evidence, even of your own

write out a time line of when/what happened

 

this will further prove its a fault that has been there

for xxx time before you alerted them.

Was the blue screening fixed each time you had the hard drive replaced?

If so then it doesn't sound like a motherboard or memory fault

otherwise the blue screen would remain regardless of the hard drive being swapped.

 

Sounds like it could be faulty hard drives fitted and/or windows/software faults which can also cause bsods.

 

If that is the case, and they see your hard drive has already been replaced by a third party

then I assume they are going to tell you that your claim is with the last third part to strip it.

Quick Guide for basic testing

 

Get Hdd Sentinal, free and runs in windows will test the hdd

(http://www.harddisksentinel.com/hdsentinel_setup.zip) anything less than around 95% health and i would think its a possible issue

 

if you open the start menu and type memory you should see windows memory diagnostics, run it and it will reboot the computer and check the memory

 

bluescreen viewer might be able to help as well - http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/bluescreenview.html

 

might sound silly but has anything been plugged into the computer that hasnt had its drivers installed as this can cause bluescreens and people often forget to re-install them after a new hdd is put in

Hello porkyp1g,

 

The first time the hard drive was changed was in May and it stopped the bluescreening until

it went again in November so

 

took it back and they replaced the harddrive but

it only lasted 3days before it started to bluescreen again.

 

I took it back and they had it all over Christmas but still couldn't find the problem

but did mention that he thought it could be the motherboard.

 

I told them I wasn't going to buy a new motherboard only to find out that wasn't the problem

and returned home with it,

 

I was then told about this other company who was very good and to give them a chance to repair it.

 

They put in a new harddrive but that only lasted a couple of days and then it started to bluescreen again.

 

I had already paid out with both companies £180 so gave it up

and was going to chuck the computer in the skip.

 

It was only when I came on here that I wondered if I could have a chance of getting somewhere

with the not fit for purpose law and

 

dx got back to me telling me of the sale of goods act which I'm very grateful for so will try that route.

 

I have been intouch with PC World and they said they would get back to me.

Hello labrat,

 

First I would like to thank you for taking time to try and help me.

 

I would also say that I'm not clued up with computers so please excuse me if I don't understand things straight away

 

.I looked at the computer and found that I had plugged in my printer

but when I looked at devices noted that it wasn't showing

so put the install disc in and straight away it bluescreened,

 

I waited till i could turn on the computer and it didn't say operating system not found

and then started to install the printer

it got so far then bluscreened again,

 

could it be that this is a cause?

 

The computer was switched on this morning and was fine for about 2 hours before it bluescreened

 

I waited then switched it on this time was on about 4 hours before it bluescreened.

 

Last night it bluescreened 4 times within 1 hour

 

Its driving me crazy.

 

good job I have a laptop to fall back to.

 

Thanks again pin 62

First STOp code relates to a paging file issue iirc. The second ONE is a windows kernel error or a possible CPU error.

why would chkdsk help after 2 changed HDD's?

 

the two errors point toward the harddrive errors

[page file swapping]

 

so must be the interface in the MB

It depends IF the HDD's were actually changed, and not just mirrored onto another HDD, wiped and then cloned back. Ive seen it done in a lot of places.

Hello labrat, I checked with Seagate with the last Harddrive and it was purchased from them in November, I don't know if this is a daft question but if I could remove the back of this computer and direct a fan onto it would it help to see if its overheating or not. Thanks pin62

i doubt it

 

try that hdd sentinal as i suggested it gives the health level and current temp of the hdd

 

if it was a overheating cpu it wouldnt bluescreen just power off
