    • I left a trustpilot review and P2g have emailed me with the obligatory apology and have refunded the postage costs and are will to give £10 extra pre pay as a good will gesture. However,  as i wrote this the Buyer has just txt.me.to say they have received the parcel !  So obviously im now going.to suggest that she pays via Paypal ... I rang her this morning to see if it had arrived but she said she was on holiday and there was someone in her house she would have to contact to see if it had arrived which she obviously has ... So now i know its been delivered i cant go for P2g But i Can accept the exta £10 ...
    • The defendant in this case is Parcel2Go.com Limited The claimant sent a parcel using Parcel2Go Ltd as a broker and Evri as the shipper via the Defendant's service containing which contained two handmade bespoke wedding trays to a customer with  under  tracking number P2Gxxxxxxxx. The parcel was never delivered although the defendant stated that three attempts had been made to deliver the parcel.  The claimants customer waited in for four days to receive the delivery but no delivery was attempted. There was no communication with the claimants customer.  Despite many web chats and emails the parcel was not delivered and on the Parcel2Go website it stated that the customer had refused delivery. This was not true as no delivery had been attempted.  I was The Defendant informed me that the parcel was being returned to me but after waiting three weeks I was informed by the courier that the parcel was lost. I was offered compensation of £20 + shipping fee which I refused and after sending Parcel2Go a Letter of claim this was increased to £75 which I also refused. The Claimant did not purchase the Defendant's insurance policy as requiring people to pay extra for rights already guaranteed under the consumer rights act 2015 is contrary to section 57 and 72 and therefore unenforceable. The Claimant rejected the Defendant's standard compensation offer. It is clear that the defendant is responsible for the loss of the parcel as they did not act with reasonable care and skill when handling the claimants parcel, contrary to section 49 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015.   By failing to ensure the safe delivery of the Claimant's parcel the Defendant breached section 49 of the CRA 2015.   AND THE CLAIMANT CLAIMS £370.00 being the value of the lost goods £xx.xx being the price of shipping and interest pursuant to s69 cca 1984.   See what BF thinks but I think something like this is better. Remember you are suing P2G not evri.
    • I disagree with the charge and also the statements sent. Firstly I have not received any correspondence from DVLA especially a statutory notice dated 2/5/2024 or a notice 16/5/2024 voiding my licence if I had I would have responded within this timeframe. The only letter received was the single justice procedure notice dated the 29.5.2024 this was received on 4.6.2024. I also disagree with the statement that tax was dishonoured through invalid indemnity claim. I disagree that the licence be voided I purchased the vehicle in Jan 2024 from RDA car sales Pontefract with agreement to collect the car on the 28.1.2024. The garage taxed the vehicle on the 25.1.24 for eleven payments on direct debit  using my debit card on my behalf. £62.18 was the initial payment on 8.2.24  and £31 per month thereafter the second payment was 1.3.24.This would run from Jan 24 to Dec 24 and a total of £372.75, therefore the car was clearly taxed before  I took the car away After checking one of my vehicle apps  I could see the vehicle was showing as untaxed it later transpired that DVLA had cancelled my tax , without reason and I did not receive any correspondence from DVLA to state why it was cancelled or when. The original payment of £62.18 had gone through and verified by my bank Lloyds so this payment was not declined. I then set up the direct debit again straight away at my local post office branch on 15.2.2024 the first payment was £31 on 1.3.2024 and subsequent payments up to Feb 2025 with a total of £372.75 which was the same total as the original DD that was set up in Jan, Therefore I claimed the £62.18 back from my bank as an indemnity claim as this payment was from the original cancelled tax from DVLA and had been cancelled . I have checked my bank account at Lloyds and every payment since Jan 24  up to date has been taken with none rejected as follows: 8.2.24 - £62.15 1.3.24 - £31.09 2.4.24 - £31.06 1.5.24 - £31.06 3.6.23-£31.06 I have paper copies of the original DD set up conformation plus a breakdown of payments per month , and a paper copy of the second DD setup with breakdown of payments plus a receipt from the post office.I can also provide bank statements showing each payment to DVLA I also ask that my licence be reinstated due to the above  
    • You know hes had it when they call out those willing to say anything even claiming tories have reduced taxes on live tv AS Salmonella says: The Conservative Party must embrace Nigel Farage to “unite the right”, Suella Braverman has urged, following a disastrous few days for Rishi Sunak. The former home secretary told The Times there was “not much difference” between the new Reform UK leader’s policies and those of the Tories, as senior Conservatives start debating the future of the party. hers.   AND Goves replacement gets caught booking in an airbnb to claim he lives locally .. as of yesterday you can rent it yourself in late July - as he'll either be gone or claiming taxpayer funded expenses for a house Alongside pictures of himself entering a house, Mr McGuinness said Surrey Heath residents “rightly expect their MP to be a part of their community”. - So whens farage getting around to renting (and subletting) a clacton beach hut?   Gove’s replacement caught out on constituency house claim as home found on Airbnb WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK Social media users quickly pointed out house Ed McGuinness had posted photos in was available to rent     As Douglas Ross says he'll stand down in scotland - if he wins a Westminster seat - such devotion.
    • I've completed a draft copy to defend and will post up here for review.  Looking over the dates and payments this all stemmed from DVLA cancelling in Feb , whereby I set up a new DD in Feb hence the overlap, why they cancelled when I paid originally in Jan I have no idea. Anyway now stuck with pending court action and a suspended licence . I am also firing off a letter to DVLa recorded disputing the licence revoke

    • 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've been recently charged with Fraud by false representation (1st offence), for returning a low value (under £50) clothing item to a store for a refund.

 

A week after this, I was arrested because the shop claimed the item wasn't their stock and tags were placed by mistake.

 

This was purchased from their online store if that matters.

 

Now I have a Magistrates' Court hearing and will be pleading not guilty.

 

I am scared for my life and how I will be able to argue my innocence but will demand a trial by jury, which will drag this process for much longer and make it very costly for myself.

 

Any thoughts and suggestions please?

Hi and welcome to CAG.

 

While criminal matters are not my game I believe you are entitled to representation. Phone around and find a solicitor who does legal aid. Many solicitors offer 30 minute free appointments to gauge whether you have a case or not.

 

As this is a small amount, it is highly unlikely that you will get transferred to crown court.

 

When you were arrested, did the plod not offer you a duty solicitor?

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

Everything I say is opinion only. If you are unsure on any comment made, you should see a qualified solicitor

I have filed a legal aid application,

 

 

I will be entitled to some help in Crown court but will have to contribute to it.

 

 

Probably no help in Magistrates.

 

 

Not sure if anyone will be with me when I enter my plea, don't think it is necessary. No idea what else to do.

 

Yes, I had someone with me at the station.

 

 

They will continue to represent me.

 

 

I will ask for it to be transferred so I get a fairer trial.

Where was it purchased from online?

 

Was it the same company as the retailer?

 

If purchased online surly you should have a receipt for the internet transaction and a bank statement to correspond to the transaction.

Just for clarity

 

You say you brought the item online.

 

But returned it to one of the company's branchs.

 

Now you say you returned it to the same shop you brought it from.

 

Please clarify the situation

This is not a payment issue. It was an online purchase with a valid receipt paid on the same card that it was refunded to.

 

They discovered later that it wasn't their stock and notified the police.

 

 

Struggling to see the issue here.

 

I have constructed a fictious scenario from the information provided.

 

you purchased online 1 x thinggy from retailStores LTD

 

You needed for whatever reason a refund. So you went to a local branch of RetailStores LTD who processed a refund of 1 x Thinggy

 

Its the same company but has a different range to the internet site.

 

the proof of payment shows the product came from the same business.

 

So where is the fraud they are accusing you off. Some information is missing here

They say the tags were placed on an item that wasn't theirs.

 

You say it was theirs?

Purchased online?

 

Save a copy of the webpage showing it.

Order another online. Video yourself unpacking it.

 

Produce the 2nd one in court.

Ask that they produce the one you returned in court.

 

If you returned (to the store) the one you got online, it should match the second one you purchase online, scuppering their claims you substituted a different item.

I wanted some advice about court proceedings because I am very worried......

 

 

the crim procedure rules outlines

eg

http://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules/criminal/rulesmenu

part 9 re 'allocation and sending for trial' http://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules/criminal/docs/crim-proc-rules-2014-part-09.pdf

http://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules/criminal/practice-direction/part5

 

but, you really shld see your sol, or the duty sol at the mags on the day. simply requesting a jury trial re either way offence is not really applicable anymore. as you'll see, if under 5k, and within sentencing range, then usually 'must' be the mags

Everyone has got the right of a trial by jury. My sol tells me that it can easily transferred after 1-2 hearings at Mags. I believe I will get a fairer trial there. I am in such a mess I don't see if it's worth it fighting or even living.

not everyone necessarily, depends on the circumstances. i dont know your full circs, your sol does. hence why i reiterate seeing your sol or the duty sol on the day. then your sol can rep you at the mags and try get you into the crown court.

 

ps, i posted the 'rules' you asked for. have a read, prob will take more than 10 mins though if not seen before.

OK so did you transfer the tags form the one ordered online onto something else?

 

As for your health, I suggest you see your doctor and make sure they are aware of how you are feeling.
