    • Oh I see! thats confusing, for some reason the terms and conditions that Evri posted in that threads witness statement are slightly different than the t&cs on packlinks website. Their one says enter into a contract with the transport agency, but the website one says enter into a contract with paclink. via website: (c) Each User will enter into a contract with Packlink for the delivery of its Goods through the chosen Transport Agency. via evri witness statement in that thread: (c) Each User shall then enter into its own contract with the chosen Transport Agency. Packlink does not have any control over, and disclaims all liability that may arise in contracts between a User and a Transport Agency I read your post at #251, so I should use the second one (and changing the screenshot in the court bundle), since I am saying I have a contract with Evri? Is that correct EDIT: Oh I understand the rest of your conversation. you're saying if I was to do this i would have to fully adjust my ws to use the consumer rights act instead of rights of third parties. In that case should I just edit the terms and stick with the third parties plan?. And potentially if needed just bring up the CRA in the hearing, as you guys did in that thread  
    • First, those are the wrong terms,  read posts 240-250 of the thread ive linked to Second donough v stevenson should be more expanded. You should make refernece to the three fold duty of care test as well. Use below as guidance: The Defendant failed its duty of care to the Claimant. As found in Donoghue v Stevenson negligence is distinct and separate to any breach of contract. Furthermore, as held in the same case there need not be a contract between the Claimant and the Defendant for a duty to be established, which in the case of the Claimant on this occasion is the Defendant’s duty of care to the Claimant’s parcel whilst it is in their possession. By losing the Claimant’s parcel the Defendant has acted negligently and breached this duty of care. As such the Claimant avers that even if it is found that the Defendant not be liable in other ways, by means of breach of contract, should the court find there is no contract between Claimant and Defendant, the Claimant would still have rise to a claim on the grounds of the Defendant’s negligence and breach of duty of care to his parcel whilst it was in the Defendant’s possession, as there need not be a contract to give rise to a claim for breach of duty of care.  The court’s attention is further drawn to Caparo Industries plc v Dickman (1990), 2 AC 605 in which a three fold test was used to determine if a duty of care existed. The test required that: (i) Harm must be a reasonably foreseeable result of the defendant’s conduct; (ii) A relationship of proximity must exist and (iii) It must be fair, just and reasonable to impose liability.  
    • Thank you. here's the changes I made 1) removed indexed statement of truth 2) added donough v Stevenson in paragraph 40, just under the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 paragraph about reasonable care and skill. i'm assuming this is a good place for it? 3) reworded paragraph 16 (now paragraph 12), and moved the t&cs paragraphs below it then. unless I understood you wrong it seems to fit well. or did you want me to remove the t&cs paragraphs entirely? attached is the updated draft, and thanks again for the help.

    • 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.

Just before christmas i received a letter from a company called CCS

regarding an alleged debt to the DWP and that i should contact them immediately.

This i ignored.

 

I have not been out of work in the last 15 years,

have only moved house once and have never claimed a penny in benefits in this time a

nd have certainly NEVER had any correspondence from the DWP regarding anything at all.

 

 

Surely if any money was owed to them for anything the DWP would have informed me ?

after all i have not changed my name, national ins no or employer so if they wanted to find me they could easily

 

These letters continued with increased levels of threat, including added costs, court action and doorstep visits none of which happened so

 

 

am i right in presuming this is either some farcsical attempt at intimidating me into paying something

or a possible debt from so far back i honestly have absolutely no idea what it relates to ?

( i honestly cant remember the last time i claimed anything !! )

 

Now CCS have stopped and i have today ( 19/05/15) received a letter from a company calling themselves CSL ( credit solutions limited )

telling me i have 10 days to respond or a doorstep collector is calling !! more threats ??

 

I have not responded to any of the letters as NO proof or evidence of any such debt was supplied

just a total out of the blue demand and i am not in the habit of contacting people to discuss financial matters on the strength of such demands,

and i certainly wouldnt ring them

 

Any advice would be appreciated

 

Many thanks

I'd contact DWP

 

 

certainly never ever pay or talk to a no powers DCA

about a supposed gov't debt

 

 

they are not baiiiffs

and have

no such legal powers

 

 

dx

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Yep, first off, contact DWP Debt Management (phone is OK for an initial enquiry - 0345 850 0293 is the number, I think) and ask them what the debt relates to. You can also make a SAR to the DWP, which does not charge the £10 fee, and see if that helps get to the bottom of things.

 

As DX says, do not pay the collection agency nor even discuss the matter with them.

Yeah, just tell them you are not prepared to discuss the matter and any contact from CCS must be in writing. It is worth finding out what's going on, since the DWP now has extra powers to recover money by earnings attachment even for debts where recovery through the courts is statute barred, so if there's been some mistake it would be good to know ASAP. But the collection agency won't be able to provide the information you need, so it's not worth talking to them.

The agency can't take you to court for a government debt - only the relevant government department itself can do that. If, as seems to be the case, the alleged debt is statute barred then even that will not be possible but, as I said, the DWP does now have some extra powers to collect outstanding debt.

 

This does not mean, however, that they don't have to explain how the debt arose and give you an opportunity to challenge the decision if you believe it is wrong.

Just a quick query....On the letter CSL sent it states at the bottom they are regulated by the FCA, and gives their registered number......however upon checking on the FCA website it gives their Interim permissions number as something completely different !!

 

any ideas ?

I wouldn't concern yourself with this issue at the moment.. your first priority should be making contact with the DWP to find out how they can say you owe them money if you have never claimed any benefits !
