    • 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    
    • Hmm, that's strange how they got my email then.  I assume the below is ok to send to DCBL, Nicky?  Hello, I am writing regarding our ongoing dispute and the upcoming court claim reference xxxxxxxx. To ensure fairness and transparency in our communications leading up to the court hearing, I request that you use postal mail exclusively for all further correspondence related to this claim. Please refrain from sending any communication or documents via email. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions or need clarification, please feel free to contact me via postal mail at the address provided above. Yours sincerely, xxxx
    • In the SAR, I received the original application, lots of computer print outs, yearly statements from 2013 and the new emails regarding my complaint. They sent me a £50 cheque after I chased them for the SAR after the 30 days. They said they was waiting for me to respond to an email (which I never received) before sending the SAR
    • classic P2G. I'm sure dianne and Lesley will pop an email to you at some point.

    • 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.

Dear all

 

Everyone on here has been extremely helpful to me in the past so thank you in advance for anything you can offer me now in my current situation.

 

I have 2 secured debts against my house, one a main mortgage & the second with First Plus is a secured loan - both debts have suspended PO in place.

 

I thought I was able to maintain the agreed repayments however my personal circumstances have changed yet again , for the worse & as such I have put the house on the market as I simply cannot afford it & all the associated bills.

I have no income & have moved in with family to eliminate my outgoings. I have written to both parties explaining the situation & so far the only responses I have received have been along the lines of "we will enforce the order/issue the warrant" & go down the eviction route!

 

My query is that I have basically evicted myself already?! If they re-approached the Court to gain possession would the Court not take into consideration the fact I am already trying to sell the house myself to repay their debts & arrears which in effect is what they would have to do anyway?? Plus I am marketing it at the proper market value (as obtained by 3 agents) so in effect I am trying to sell asap

 

Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated. I simply have no funds to offer them. I will have some equity to take from the property when it sells which is the only positive I can take from all this. Plus the stress of trying to keep all the balls in the air will be removed as this has had a major impact on me

Hi...does anyone have any advice for me? I'm wanting to reply to them on the basis that I'm voluntarily vacating & selling my house already i.e. saving them the effort & expense? obviously I can't predict when it will sell but I'm reluctant for a lender to take a more aggressive stance to a sale ie.sell for significantly under its value just to clear their loan

Hi there, I have only just seen your post as I was away for a few days.

 

If you are unable to make any payments at all then there's nothing you can do until the lenders apply for an eviction warrant. You can then defend by applying to the court for a hearing and show the judge proof that you have the property on the market. In the meantime you should gather together the estate agent information i.e. your contract with them, any advertising of the property and how many viewings you have had etc. Take photocopies of it all and keep it ready to submit with your application to the court (we can help you with the forms).

 

Also, you need to check the mail at your property every day as once the eviction warrant is issued you won't have many days to get your application to court. If you receive any letters from the lenders stating they are applying for eviction please let us know and we can draft a reply.

Hi honeybee. Ell-enn is the expert on all of this but I would just add one thing which is important.

 

 

The lenders are not remotely interested in you or your circumstances. I have myself in the past tried to negotiate with my mortgage company, etc., the fact is that no-one there gives a damn. They are employed to get the money in.

 

 

So as Ell-enn says, they will go for eviction, they are not interested in where you are living or what you are doing, they want the money they have secured on your property. I have wasted so much time trying to negotiate with people who simply do not care.

 

 

The court is the place to have your say, and your presentation of circumstances needs to be there as Ell-enn says. They will listen to you (albeit briefly, don't expect to be able to run through your life story!!) and make a decision.

 

 

Sorry to butt in but just sharing what I have learned!! :)

Thanks so much all for your responses. I'll update after the weekend dependent on latest correspondence &/or phone discussions

 

Ultimately I hope the court (as a minimum & even the lender!) see that i'm trying to take the most pragmatic approach now by voluntarily selling up instead of just dragging the situation on & on

 

My biggest underlying concern is if they did take the heavy handed approach & take over the selling process just how aggressive would they be able to be in achieving a sale price versus its market value - my fear is that they will just sell at any price to clear their debt & sod the (little) equity I have left

Hi all

 

since my last posts I've received correspondence from Skipton BS's Solicitors advising that they have obtained an eviction date of May 7th. In addition, Eversheds, on behalf of 1st Plus, have also written to me to advise that a "warrant of possession" has been granted & will be enforced on April 30th.

 

Arrears with SBS are £5435 & £1954 with 1st plus. I cannot clear the arrears & property is on the market for sale which is the only route I have to make any payts

 

Can I approach the court to postpone the eviction pending the fact I already have the house on the market? The sole reason I'm selling is because I've recognised I cannot afford the house & don't want to continue falling in & out of arrears & failing atp's etc..with suspended PO hanging over me.

 

Any advice would be warmly welcomed as I need to submit something asap

Hello there, you can make an application on the n244 asking for time to sell the property.

 

 

many thanks for that. Do you happen to know if I can submit this application from overseas? Reason I ask is that I'm now living with family in France as I couldn't afford to rent anywhere else in UK so would have to organise myself if I had to physically attend a court hearing in person to defend my case??

Help with N244 completion....I've downloaded the form & will , I assume, need to submit one for each lender's case basically stating the same thing i.e. i'm trying to sell my house etc...

 

would appreciate some help filling it in as well as guidance on what to say to the court bearing in mind it is extremely unlikely that I'll be able to attend in person as I won't be able to afford to travel back to the UK. Will they accept my "defence/case" in writing & without my attendance??

 

Many thanks

There's some info here: https://www.nationaldebtline.org/EW/factsheets/Pages/G2%20EW%20Mortgage%20arrears%20guide/Page-12.aspx

 

Oh, and you'll be able to send someone on your behalf - just check with the court first.

 

 

Thank you sequence. I will take a good look through all of that tomorrow as well as contact the court about appearances etc.. The problem I have is that I don't have anyone else in the UK to call upon to attend on my behalf. I'll have to see what they say

Hi all

 

I've submitted my N244's & have a hearing date listed for next week. I have to either attend in person or instruct a solicitor to represent me if I cannot make it back to the UK in person

 

The concern I have now, having spoken on the phone to a solicitor is that their professional advice is that my case isn't very strong. 1) there is no-one living in the house at the moment so no humanitarian aspect to consider of making someone homeless 2) the basis of my case to suspend the eviction is purely financial ie I want to try & achieve the best price for my house as opposed to letting it go to auction etc... & 3) I have no offers or imminent sale completions so just marketing the house for sale doesn't really mean anything to the court/claimant

 

Feeling really down about all this now as it seems like the inevitable is going to happen & I'm scared I'll end up with nothing

would appreciate anyone's input as struggling to know what to do next with this. I've even looked at some of those companies who buy your house off you for 85% of its value but that wouldn't leave much at all for me, if anything

 

Also contemplating biting the bullet to see if my parents will lend me money for the arears to enable me to stop the eviction but that's pretty scary too! All I want to do is try & get more time to sell the house & achieve a more genuine price which will give me more of the equity back to help me start afresh

 

I also have a separate comment on another forum here about First Plus & a decision they took, without advising me, to freeze interest on my loan. That has now resulted in them adding back over £7000 to the settlement figure which I was unaware of until now - can they do that without advising me?

Hi, the only sure way of stopping the eviction is to pay the entire arrears - this would give you time to sell. If you think your parents could give you the money, then I would certainly bite the bullet and ask.

 

 

If the property is repossessed the lender will sell for whatever they can get and if it isn't enough to clear the mortgage they will come after you for the shortfall!

Thank you Ell-enn

 

I am currently building up the courage to ask them!!

 

I also spoke to the building society & they told me that they won't take the house to auction but will market it on the normal open market via an agent based on 2 valuations which, in theory, should be very similar to the price I put the house up for a few weeks ago??

 

The sale price should be in the region of £220K with total outstanding mortgages of £180k

They would accept an offer to clear their mortgage - they won't be worried about your equity
