    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • 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.

    • 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.

Been trying Win Phone Sat Nav (Here Drive+), not bad. seems v good in fact, quite accurate, with speed limit prompts, spoken street names, etc. Partic as can be used 'offline' once a map has been downloaded (via wifi). ie no data charges. :)

any thoughts/experience

My experience is with iphone and TomTom app :

 

Advantages :

"convergence", only needs 1 bit of kit, easy to remember to take it so it doesn't get left in the car to get nicked, free map updates as app updates (rather than having to pay for new maps)

 

Only downside so far : risk of getting a call you need to take just as you are about to reach a critical junction .....

Garmin Nuvi and M8 on Android, with a remote village house name, and postcode, then so long as there is phone signal when you plan the route, M8 will most likely get you there whereas the Garmin takes you to the centre of the postcode,

 

Only problem M8 seems to have vanished from the Google Play Store.

We could do with some help from you.

I use Mapfactor Navigation on my Android phone and tablet pc. With this app you get the choice of using open street maps (which can be occasionally wrong-not often) or paying for the TomTom maps.

 

I use the free maps which download fully to my sd card so all I need is a GPS location, no wifi needed (although it helps)

 

This is the best free app I have come across so far. Within two or three seconds of passing a new speed limit sign, the app changes display and an audible warning sounds if I am going even slightly over the limit.

 

The only disadvantage I have found is that it doesn't tell me when I am being a kn*b on the road :lol:

I use Here Drive+ on my Windows Phone often and find it not only reliable route mapping but also very accurate.

The best bit is at the bottom of the screen where it does tell you the correct road speed limit.

I have never used the voice spoken directions, I also have a Garmin and after using the voice on that I have been put off for life using them.

NEVER telephone a DCA

If a DCA rings you, refuse to go through the security questions & hang up!

yeah, on the garmin 2447 i tried on loan, sometimes a speed limit wasnt even shown. yet on the same roads the phone nav did. also some of the voice street pronunciation on the garmin is incorrect, phone nav being ok.

also, phone has similar useful mapping/route options, and reroutes quickly. and has the same onscreen info eg speed/arrival/distance...

though the garmin does have speed cameras, lane guidance, and traffic option. traffic on the phone requiring realtime data connection (at cost if no unlimited/free data), havent tried that.

wld've thought a dedicated nav wld be the way to go, but seems maybe not? (unless i suppose is for professional use eg lorry/courier driver)

overall, was surprised tbh to see how good the win phone nav is. all free with a phone, of which a decent one can be had for the same or less price as a dedicated sat nav!

.

 

this seems to be an issue with win phone, maybe to addressed in w10. but, there is an app that bypasses this limitation, but re maps downloaded after install of the app, prior ones wld need to be re downloaded.

 

also, with w phone nav set to no 'unpaved roads', it still directed to go on one. a minor issue, as apparently garmin does that also sometimes. dont know about tom.

 

free world maps though, in case ever go driving in kuwait or vatican city for eg :)
