      Lost items sent through Parcel2Go and EVRi

      By Madmart58 · Posted

      Thank you very much for your letter in regard to the above mentioned shipment.  Due to the high volume of parcels coursing through the courier network each day, undergoing continuous processing and handling, certain packages may experience delays or even can get lost in the course of this journey. Please note that due to the time that has passed, this shipment has been declared as lost.  I have today processed the claim and made offers to the value of £75 as a goodwill gesture without prejudice. I do acknowledge that you have mentioned in your letter that the value was higher, however, you did not take out any protection to that amount. The protection for this shipment was £20 and we will not be increasing our goodwill offer any further.    Please log into your account online in order to accept our offer. Once accepted, our accounts department will process the claim accordingly. The claim payment will be processed and received within 7 working days.                                  In addition, a refund of the carriage fee will be processed as a separate payment and will be received within 3 working days.  If I can further assist, please feel free to contact me.   I have also just noticed that yesterday afternoon they sent me an email stating that "after my request" they have refunded the cost of shipping. I did not request the refund so will mention that in my letter as well.

      IDRWW letter and email received this week

      By Angryman1404 · Posted

      Hi I had to leave Dubai back in 2011, during the financial crisis. And only now have I received a letter from IDRWW. Is this anything to worry about about as I have 2 years left until it’s been 15 years(statute barred in Dubai). Worried as just got a mortgage 2 years ago. Could they force me in to bankruptcy? Red lots of different threads on here. And unsure what true and what isn’t.

      Not that TOR will see this now he's thrown in the hand grenade. Rayner has plenty of female supporters on X, for a start. As for the council and HMRC, fair enough and I thought Rayner was already in touch with them. That's where it should be dealt with, not the police force. @tobyjugg2 Daniel Finkelstein thinks the same as you about tax. The Fiver theory.

      Lowell/Overdales Claimform - old Cap1 Debt

      By London1971 · Posted

      Often with the Likes of Lowells/ Overdales that 'proof' doesn't stand up to scrutiny.   Think about it like a game of poker, they want to intimidate you into folding and giving up as soon as possible, and just get you to pay up and roll over, that is their business model, make you think your cards are rubbish. What they don't expect, and their business isn't set up for it, is for a defendant to find this place and to learn that they have an amazing set of cards to play. Overdales don't have an infinite number of lawyers, paralegals etc, and the time / money to spend on expensive court cases, that they are highly likely to lose, hence how hard they will try to get you to roll over.  Even to the extent of faking documents, which they need to do because the debts that they purchased were so cheap, in the first place. Nevertheless it works in most cases, most people chicken out, when they are so close to winning, and a holding defence is like slowly showing Overdales your first card, and a marker of intention that this could get tricky for them. In fact it may be,  although by no means guaranteed that it won't even go any further than that.  Even if it does, what they send you back will almost certainly have more holes than Swiss Cheese, and if with the help you receive here, you can identify those weaknesses and get the whole thing tossed in the bin.

    • 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.

Hi, my other half bought a Land Rover a week ago on 18/04/14. It has 12 months MOT on it but when he has gone to see a land rover specialist, they have said the car should never have past MOT and is unfit for road with the amount of rust on it (even has holes on the wheel arches when you open the door its rusted that bad). He has been in touch with the MOT garage and they have said they will do all the work for free but when he rang the dealer that sold it him he went mad at him saying it was nothing to do with him. Can any one shed some light on where we go with the dealer that sold it him because surely he is in the wrong for selling us a car unfit for road use. Thanks

Take it back as being not fit for purpose and not of merchantable quality. Demad a full refund. you may ahve to leave the vehicle but you cant drive it anyway so no loss there. warn the dealer that you will be seeking to recover any additional costs incurred between now and when he pays up.

Thanks for reply. When he rang him he said hes not taking it back for a refund as it has 12 months mot on it and to him there was nothing wrong with it! But I think he was in on the bent mot so he didn't have to pay for the work to be done before selling it.

I would say this is more down to the garage, not the dealer.

 

Worth reporting it to VOSA, and get them to test it again at the same garage, if they find major issues (which they sure will), then the MOT garage / tester will get punished for it. No wonder the garage are offering to fix it for free!!

 

Perhaps offer to sell it to the garage? ;)

You dont ring and ask, you go round and demand, leaving a letter with the dealer saying exactly what the problem is and making it clear that it is your right under the SoGA to have a full refund as you dont accept the goods because of the reasonds given..

I just love these posts from people who say get VOSA involved having never seen the car involved. If it's a Land Rover on a ladder chassis then it can have holes in the bodywork. Makes little or no effect to the rigidity of the vehicle.

 

Which land rover is it first????????????

 

Again people jump to conclusions before the full facts are known.

heliosuk,

 

What's the problem with reporting to VOSA ???????????????? (My post #6, JoeyJoeC #7 and renegadeimp #8 )

 

Seeing as the OP states that an Independent Land Rover specialist has said the car is unroadworthy. (See post #1)

 

I would have thought reporting to VOSA was very good advice.

Sorry but this is a support and advice forum. People offer advice based on what the OP has posted. Based on what the OP posted, mentioning a specialist has inspected the vehicle, it would be worth taking it up with VOSA.

Then perhaps the OP will state what Land Rover it is???? Perhaps also age and mileage plus price paid???

 

Rust is very subjective and there are clear guidelines as to what is acceptable and what is not. A general rule is excessive corrosion within a set distance of a load bearing area. Wings do not necessarily fall under this.

 

Like I say, people jump to conclusions so perhaps a bit more from the OP first?

 

This is a support and advice forum as you point out but it needs to be good advice and support based on more detailed facts rather than loose canons going off!!

heliosuk,

With all due respect to a fellow CAGGER (No insult intended or implied)

 

What has the "Model, age, milage and price got to do with it ???

The car is "unroadworthy"........ Independent Land Rover specialist.

Trying to advise OP correctly, Going on Post # 1

Garages have higher standards for vehicle inspections than what is required for a MOT. The MOT standard is a low minimum that's not much above what would be considered scrap.

 

The definitive opinion as to the vehicles MOT condition would be that of VOSA, not of a garage who habitually use a service standard rather than people who are trained to inspect to the MOT standard using MOT inspection methods and tools.
