    • 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.

A CCJ has been set against me while I was abroad by the Northampton county court.

The judgment was made in February 2015

 

 

I have been living in Paris since September 2014.

 

 

I only found out about this after I checked my credit file.

The amount is for £609.

I intend to have this set aside by making a N244 application.

 

At the moment I am thinking that I will base my defence on the fact that I was not served the court papers

due to the fact that I didn't recieve the court papers as I am living in Paris.

So I wasn't given the opportunity defend or dispute the claim.

 

 

Crucially, I was also denied the opportunity to settle the claim within 28 days which would have had the claim set aside automatically.

I can prove that I have been living in Paris.

 

Any help on or insight will be greatly appreciated.

Follow the setaside link to see what you should do.

 

However, the defence that you are suggesting is not defence at all and it won't help your application.

You cannot request a set aside on those basis if you cannot prove that you told your creditor where you moved to.

 

You would also need another defence as well for it to have a chance of succeeding

Did you divert your mail? Did you have anybody in the UK dealing with your affairs?

 

Because you have moved and did not have your mail forwarded, you will most likely fail on a set aside. Best course would be to pay and wait 6 years for the ccj to come off your record. But make sure its marked as satisfied once paid. That's as good as removed completely. No one cares about paid ccjs.

Did you know about this debt before leaving the country and should therefore have advised creditors that you had moved abroad.?

 

You can apply for the set aside using the n244 form and paying the fee which I think is £155, you would simply say that you were resident in Paris France at the time the claim was sent to a UK address and only found out about the judgement on your return to the UK on x date.

 

Normally you give a reason for defending the claim at a hearing. E,g the creditor had not issued you with a demand for payment or whatever. Just saying you were not in the country might not be enough.

We could do with some help from you.

So you were aware the debt existed before moving....

 

I do not foresee a DCA simply agreeing to a set aside...

Yes I was aware that the debt existed before moving. For a long period of time I had not heard about anything about the account.

 

As for seeing if a DCA would agree to set aside, I was thinking that maybe I would ask them to support my set aside on the condition that I would settle the account in full if they did so.

I would suggest there were reasons why they were set aside.

 

EG statute barred before the claim was issued.

Or proof that the creditor knew the debtors true address

Or some other substantial reason they could ask for a set aside.

 

By all means, ask them.

 

There may be other ways to skin a cat.

 

Any late payment charges on the store card, or insurances?

I don't know of any late payment charges or insurances, will have to enquire into that. So even if use the fact that I had no correspondence with Arrow Global and there had no reason to expect legal proceedings, that still may not be a good enough defence?

nope

 

As you were aware the debt existed and failed to inform the creditor of your new address.

 

They would of served ot the last known address as they are entitled to do so.

I am also planning on contacting the DCA to see if they will agree to having the CCJ set aside.

If you're going to pay it anyway then that would be my option to approach claimant and seek their agreement to a consent order to set aside judgment and discontinue the claim on the condition that once granted you then pay them.

Thanks. I think I will go ahead with this route before filing a N244.

Thanks. I think I will go ahead with this route before filing a N244.

What I'd do is send claimant a letter along the lines that you intend to make application to set aside the judgment and that given the circumstances in which the default judgment was obtained you believe that such an application will be successful with costs, however given the amount claimed and the further costs that will undoubtedly incur for both parties should it be necessary to make application and attend a hearing, you are prepared (on a without prejudice basis and strictly without any admittance of liability) to settle the claim in full on the condition the claimant consent to set aside default judgment and discontinue the claim.
