    • Sorry, I may have forgot to get back on this. Please monitor for a reply tomorrow
    • Yes, now its just about getting the WS / Court bundle finalised to send to the court / Evri. I've attached the most recent version of the WS / Court bundle to save having to scroll back up to the previous post (#204) where it was also shared. If you, @BankFodder or anyone else has any feedback on this, i'd be grateful for your thoughts. In my previous post #204, i'd also attached an invoice from Packlink which shows that I was charged by Packlink for these services: "drop-off at Her mes - Next day delivery" and "Proof of Delivery". It also has the payer's address and there are "Origin" and "Destination" fields which have the postcode of the sender [origin] and the recipient [destination] - I have redacted personal details in the attached invoice.  I am already including this in my evidence bundle (without the redaction) but wanted to share this redacted version so that other people can consider this as example in their bundle of Packlink and Evri's contract being instigated by the sender of the parcel who has paid for the service, and further shows that there is information in the invoice to identify that a third party beneficiary (the sender / recipient) is involved in this transaction. I have also attached this redacted invoice in this post to save having to scroll back up. Happy to get any thoughts and if this invoice is no good, then please let me know.   Draft - Witness Statement and Court Bundle redacted.pdf Packlink invoice - REDACTED.pdf
    • Does anyone know if I would be allowed to record conversations with health professionals for my own use on my phone without them knowing. I know that we are allowed to record phone calls. I do record some of my phone calls for my own use due to my disability and if anything is said then I am covered. I would only record audio in private area's of myself and the professional dealing with me. I know I could not get and other persons audio in it and I don't intend to. my only other option is to buy a body cam but I am not sure the rules regarding this.I never thought i would have to but things are getting worse Thanks for any guidance

    • 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.

Hi, I have received a default notice of £30 odd from Argos Card, could someone

 

A) explain what this means? and what it's repercussions are

B) also what my next step should be other than pay it? (which I can currently afford to do in the specified 14 days)

 

Many thanks!

f you don't pay the stated amount in 14 days

you get a default on your credit file

 

which will kill any credit for 6yrs

Hi,

 

Paying it would be the way to go.

 

A default notice is a formal letter, sent by a creditor, telling you how much you need to pay to bring your account up to date.

 

Your creditor will usually send you a default notice when you’ve missed 3 to 6 payments. You’ll be given at least 14 days to pay the amount stated on the notice.

 

A default notice will tell you that if you can’t pay, your account will be cancelled and ‘defaulted’. If the account is a card or overdraft you won’t be able to use it to borrow money.

 

A default notice is only required for debts that are regulated by the Consumer Credit Act.

 

Your creditors will inform credit reference agencies when an account defaults. The default will appear on your credit file for six years, and will make it harder to get credit for this time.

 

When you get a default notice you’ll also get an advice sheet from the Office of Fair Trading with contact details of organisations that can help you if you’re struggling to repay debts.

 

Once the account has defaulted the creditor can:

 

Demand the full balance is paid immediately

Sell the debt to a debt collection agency

Begin court action to recover the debt

Any advice I give is honest and in good faith.:)

FRS is Home retail group. Same office, same staff, same operating system........... just a different level of B***sh*t......... until you get it in front of a district judge.

 

Yes I assumed as much...

 

I'm buying the postal order for the SAR today, do I need to make them payable to Argos Card Services Ltd? or should I leave it blank bust crossed? also I notice that the template letter does not state that the PO is to only be used specifically for the SAR do I need to state this somewhere or is it already assumed?

Too late I've just paid online,

 

I've never understood what proof of posting proves anyway all that happens is the cashier gives you a receipt with the postcode handwritten on it... I could do that myself.

in terms of the regs that surround say the CCA or legal docs

 

all they have to do is prove they sent it

 

so all you have to do

IF IF IF this ever went to court

is prove you posted a document/letter.

 

 

you'll know for next time.

all penalty charges are unlawful and can be reclaimed.
