    • Hi BankFodder, Thanks for the reply.  I will take your advice and read through more thoroughly. To answer your question, the value of the laptop is £255.  When filling in the online form to prepare the shipment it asked what the contents of the parcel was and the value and I specified "laptop" and "£255". Thanks.
    • Before you start this claim you need to have a lot more confidence in what you're doing which means that you need to understand the way forward in the principles involved more thoroughly. We will help you and you will probably get your money back but this is a self empowerment forum and so you have to do your bit as well. Please will you spend at least the next couple of days reading through the stories on this sub- forum. Try to understand them thoroughly. We have lots of stories very similar to yours but even those which are not similar, have principles in them which apply. In particular you need to read and understand the information in the pinned topics at the top of the sub- forum. I know that you have been reading around here for the past couple of hours but it needs a lot more. You aren't in a huge hurry. Wait a few days before sending a letter of claim and also that needs some amendment as well. Come back here when you've done your reading and then we will have a look at your letter of claim and help you to refine it Also, please tell us the value of the laptop. Was it properly declared as a laptop – and was the value properly declared
    • Unsure what would be classed as appeal I first contacted the applicant then IAS. I am not aware I could appeal again as Bank state I was informed that is news to me. I would have to look through the paper work, I apologise I forget so much due to my caring duties wish I had quality time to get so much done. Will try and look tomorrow, appreciate everyone's time and input.

    • Hi, I've been reading the invaluable advice on this forum and reading about the problems with Evri and lost delivery of items.  From what I gather the initial steps after having exhausted every's own lost item claim process is to draft a Letter of Claim, I think it is called and to register with the government Money Claims.  I have got a login for Money Claims and have made an initial stab at the letter but I'm not certain I have got it right. Am I right to assume that having exhausted Evri customer service's claims process and having received the denial of any compensation because the laptop I was sending is on the non-compensatory list that my next step would be to send the Letter of Claim to them? Let me provide some basic details which I hopefully have addressed in the letter. I purchased a laptop through Amazon.co.uk which a business in Belfast sold refurbished laptops through.  They had a 30 day money back guarantee for a full refund if you have any issues with the laptop.  I have the invoice from Amazon showing the purchase.  On 27 April, 2024 before the end of the 30 day period I used their ParcelShop (inside a Tesco) to send the laptop back and have the tracking reference mentioned in the letter.  As mentioned in the letter there was they advised they could not give me or sell me any insurance because laptops are on the non-compensatory list so I just paid the normal delivery cost.  It was scanned as leaving the ParcelShop on 29 April and the tracking has been like that ever since.  After a 28 working day Evri claim process they gave the expected response that they could not provide any compensation and simply could not proceed with my claim. I was hoping to get some advice on whether I go ahead now and email this to Customer Services straightaway and should I send a hard-copy to the Evri address as well?  Or are there any steps I have missed out on first?  I believe 14 days is the reasonable period of time for them to respond so if I were to send it tomorrow, for example 12 June then I should expect a reply by 26 June, is that correct and fair?  And assuming they don't reply with a full refund then I would then go down the government Money Claims site to proceed with that? Sorry for all the questions, I want to make sure I go about it properly.  I'll continue to read through other cases on here so I can get an even better handle on the process. I attached a LOC, happy for any edits or updates that will make it even better. Thanks so much for anyone's help! Regards, Matt Evri letter of claim.docx

    • 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 took out a voda phone contract with cpw and was told I had 30 days to cancel if I wasn't happy.

 

This turned out to be untrue so I complained and said I was missold and cpw agreed to cancel the contract and pay any charges associated with it. They sent a courier to collect the phone on 20th Oct 2014.

 

At the end of November I recieved a bill from vodafone so called cpw asking why when the phone was returns and was told I need to call vodafone and get them to send a final bill with any settlement fees. the woman at vf said they couldn't manually generate a bill and is have to wait till the next bill date is end of December.

 

The bill arrived for £65 so I took it to my local cpw store and then a week late got an email from the debt collectors so contacted cpw again asking what the hell'a going on it's been 3 months now since I returned the phone. They said the bill didnt have the full settlement fee so they can't fully disconnect the account until they have the right bill. I went back to vf and asked for the right bill. They sent the same bill. I called again and they sent the same bill again. So third time I lost it and said you're messing me about. The guy explained this was the correct bill and that because the phone had been returned all fees had been waived!

 

So I went back to cpw and told them this and they said they'll speak with vf. They came back saying they wouldn't pay this as it looks like usage for when I used the phone. I explained that I never used the phone. So I looked through the bills and there was only a 50p charge on the october bill and then the line rental. I explained that I'd already paid for the October line rental in the first sept bill cause you pay in advance so didn't need to pay anymore line rental and the cpw said well they've given you a credit for that and I said no the credit is for December line rental and he insisted no.

 

Cpw aren't having it and said I need to speak to vf again.

So I call vf again and the guy I spoke to said no you're not liable for that and I'll tell you why. Cpw returned the phone on the 28th November over a month after you returned it to them. That's when vf closed the account and waived the line rental generating a credit for the December line rental that had been charged. I asked him if he could put it in an email so I could send to cpw. He said yes and then didn't. So I'm at a loss because im going round in circles and got debt collectors chasing me. For nearly 2 months line rental when I had the phone for less then a month.

 

Sorry it's so long but what can I do ?

Hi

First of all, please go check your credit file. VF are very prone to slapping defaults on with little or no notice.

 

Next, we have a VF rep here. I would post the link but it doesn't want to work for me. You could try it yourself and see if it works for you.

If you need to phone them, please record the call and no, you don't have to tell them that you are recording. When Lee does respond, he will usually agree to email you with what has been discussed.

Hi renee125,

 

I've got your email and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

 

Kind regards,

This has now been sorted. Thanks to Lee.

Cpw continuously gave me the run around saying these charges were my responsibility cause I hadn't given a months notice!!! That's a new one. In the end I threatened to take them to court and said I'd spoken to Ofcom and they they got all panicky and offered me the £65 but that wouldn't have helped my credit file! But Lee looked into it. Saw the phone had been returned so got the £65 cancelled and the credit file corrected! So glad I found this site.

 

Thank you so much Lee. You are a credit to vodafone!
