    • 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.

Please would any member be able to assist with the following issue that I am having with Clydesdale Finance

who have changed a default date with Experian Credit Expert which has greatly affected my Credit file.

 

The issue is:

I had had a debt that should have expired 04.01.16 after 6 years,

I was eagerly awaiting this to enable myself to move forward with my own financial plans.

 

I recently checked with Experian Credit expert to make sure that my score was still at 999

and that the expected bad debts would disappear from my personal report.

 

I was amazed to see that my credit report score had drastically dropped to 734 barely over the poor mark.

I duly contacted Experian to find out what has happened.

 

Experian contacted Clydesdale on my behalf to be informed that I personally would have to contact them to discuss the matter.

This proved to be impossibility as I could not find any information as to the contact numbers

I would need to contact this company nor could Experian provide me with a contact number

saying that they will only accept written contact.

 

On the advise of Experian I duly wrote to them on the 22.02.16

asking them for an explanation as to how and why they have changed my personal financial data with Experian.

 

I provided screen shots of the original default dates that were applicable

which was 04/01/2010 which should have expired off my personal credit file from this date.

 

To date I have not even had the courtesy of an contact/acknowledgement of my letter which was signed for and duly received.

 

My questions are:

1) Can a Finance company operate this way legally?

2) What should I now do to move this forward

3) Can I take legal proceeding

Hi Billy,

2. Approx what date does the default now show.

 

There are ways to deal with this once we have the info we need.

Hi

 

The original default date was the 04.01.2010. so would expire 04.01.2016

 

Clydesdale have changed this default date during 2015 to 13.08.2014. now to expire 13.08.2020.

 

Any suggestions would be very welcome at this moment in time.

 

This was not a secured loan on a property of mine.

 

The original default date was the 04.01.2010. so would expire 04.01.2016

 

Clydesdale have changed this default date during 2015 to 13.08.2014. now to expire 13.08.2020.

 

I wrote to the following address:

Hi Billy,

 

Post up a copy of the letter you sent but hide any personal identifiers.

 

If they fail to correct the default date we'll take it from there, depending on how the bank respond.

Dear Sirs

 

I have been informed by Experian Credit Expert that Clydesdale Finance will not divulge the reasons why they have falsified my data/records with Experian Credit Expert.

 

I find this very scary that financial records/data can be manipulated at the whim of a financial institution.

 

Please can you explain why you have taken it upon yourselves to change a default date with Experian Credit Expert relating to an account I had with yourselves.

 

This has seriously affected my right to a full and fair evaluation on any credit applications that I have or may have made previously.

 

The original date of the default is the 04/01/2010 which was changed by notification to Experian Credit Expert by Clydesdale to a new date of 13/08/2014. Please find original data information along with the newly changed data (screenshot) enclosed with this letter.

 

I believe this to be a totally irresponsible and negligent act by Clydesdale and request an immediate answer as to why this was done.

 

Failure to respond to this letter within the next 7 days will result in the escalation to the Financial Ombudsman services and the Data Protection Agency as a personal complaint against Clydesdale Finance for falsifying records/data.

 

I expect an immediate response to this letter and details of action taken to correct the falsification of my Data with the relevant Credit Agencies.

Hi

 

Thanks for the interest and comments.

 

I do see why the letter is not one of the best,

 

 

how would you suggest going forwards,

 

 

do I write to them again as still not received any acknowledgement to date.

or do I write directly to the ICO.

 

Is there a letter template that I could use to put my complaint into a more effective format for the ICO.

 

Regards

Billy

Hi Billy,

 

There's no template for this so wait and see if they reply (I'd say within 10 days).

 

Then you can write a LBA threatening court action to get the remedy you require, but only if you're prepared to take such court action.

Further to my previous contact, it has been well over 10 days since my original request was received by Clydesdale Finance.

I have received no response.

 

I am more than happy to move forward with this and would very much welcome your input/suggestion as to the best process to achieve the result that I require.

 

Many thanks

Hi Billy,

 

I'd send a Letter Before Action telling Barclays Bank PLC t/a Clydesdale Finance that they have a final 14 days to respond fully to your complaint or you'll take further action as necessary including court action and formal complaints.

 

Address the letter to the CEO's Office and send it to Barclays Banks's London HQ and enclose a copy of the original letter.

Hi

 

Thanks for the info.

 

I managed to speak to Barclay's today who confirmed that they have found the account in question

and stated that they had someone who was looking at it and would be back to me by letter within a week.

 

I have agreed to this.

 

I will keep you posted as to the outcome and what they say.

 

Kind Regards

Dear Slick

 

Just a quick update re my correspondence and personal contact with Barclay's/Clydesdale Finance.

 

I sent a recorded letter 02022/03/16, it was signed for 24/03/16.

 

I followed up the letter with a call to Barclay's who said that they were dealing with this issue

with their escalation team and would be back in due course.

 

Having heard nothing by 10/03/16

I rang Barclay's again and spoke to a team member who looked into my query

and said that the escalation team were handling this and they would be back to me by the 18/03/16.

 

Having heard nothing to date

I duly rang Barclay's this morning and spoke to another member of the customer service team

who were not based at Clydesdale's office in Wales as the number transferred my call from this location,

 

 

this person tried several times unsuccessfully to transfer me through to the escalation team

who would theoretically be dealing with my case.

 

It was finally suggested that I continue to call the number 0800 1522 888 to hopefully speak to someone,

they also confirmed that they have emailed the team to call me,

once again I am not holding my breath that this will happen.

 

What would you suggest I now do

as I am getting nowhere whatsoever with this company

who obviously does not want to try to justify a reason

that would warrant the changing of statutory information on my credit file.

 

Kind Regards

Billy

Hi Billy,

 

Stop trusting the bank to do what they say !

 

Stop trying to sort this by phone ! Stay off the phone completely unless you are recording all calls.

 

Follow the advice in post #12 above.

I have sent the following to the CEO today, is this the correct format in your experience.

 

Mr Anthony Jenkins Chief Executive Officer

Barclays Bank PLC t/a Clydesdale Finance

Canary Wharf Group

2 Churchill Pl, London E14 5RB

21.03.2016

 

Dear Sir

I have tried in vain to get a satisfactory result/response to my complaint against your company.

 

The complaint which requires immediate action is as follows, that Barclays Bank PLC t/a Clydesdale Finance has changed my personal finance file with the credit agencies (Experian) being the one that I subscribe to.

 

My credit file has been changed from a defaulted account date of the 04.01.2010 to the following date 13.08.2014.

 

The above has severely impacted my ability to obtain credit and I believe that your company has acted improperly without due diligence in manipulating my credit file.

 

I request an immediate response to the above and an explanation of how this has occurred.

 

You have had the mandatory 14 days to respond to my previous letter and have not done so to date, unless I get a full response to this letter by Friday 25/03/2016 I will take further action as necessary including court action and formal complaints.

 

Please find enclose a copy of the original letter received by Bank PLC t/a Clydesdale Finance on the 24/02/2016 including copies of the changes made with Experian.

 

 

Yours sincerely

 

 

 

Many thanks

Billy

Hi

 

Today I received a text from Barclay's saying that they have received my complaint.

 

Nothing more.

 

What should I do as I sent the original letter on 22nd February and they received it recorded on the 24th February.

 

Many thanks

Well you also emailed the exec team so i suspect that its in response to that. for now just leave it,

As this is a complaint im in the mind set that actually talking over the phone might not be a bad idea. Sometimes it can open up good dialect so that both the bank and you are on the same footing.

 

If they say they will contact you back, maybe speak to them. It might not be a bad idea.

Barclays Bank PLC changed my credit information with the credit agencies

which resulted in my file having incorrect information.

 

I wrote to them to ask them to remove this and also to ask why it was changed from

a default ending 04/01/2016 to 13/08/2020 .

 

They eventually wrote back stating;-

”Unfortunately from our records it is not clear why the date of the default was changed to 13th august 2014.

I have arranged for the default registered in relation to this account to be removed

and your personal credit file has been updated”

The effect of the above has caused serious financial consequences to me and my family.

 

Due to the incorrect information being submitted to the various credit agencies by Barclays

meant that I was not in a position to obtain a loan that I required at the time

which was essential to my ability to pay bills and to honour my on-going obligations for a short period of time.

 

The above resulted in my having to cash in a part of my SERPs retirement pension

to enable me to meet my financial responsibilities.

 

I believe that I am now entitled to seek financial compensation due to the

irresponsible negligent actions of Barclays Bank Plc.

 

Barclays made a £100 offer with the last letter they sent.

 

Please could anyone advise where I stand in making a financial compensation claim

and kindly advise me which way should I proceed?

Many thanks

Billy

These are very serious allegations and I can scarcely imagine that the incorrect information was placed on your credit file fraudulently – meaning intentionally to deceive. However, they are serious allegations and if you got all the paperwork to prove it and if you can demonstrate the losses that you have suffered then you are in a very good position and we will be pleased to help you.

 

I think we would like to see a copy of their letter from you admitting that they did alter the information on your credit file. You should redact this in order to remove the identifiers. Have you checked that the record is now corrected?

 

What evidence have you got that this has impacted you in the way that you describe and that it has caused the losses to you which you claim?

 

It will be very important to make sure that you have got a complete and unchallengeable file before you start to take any action.

 

I think you should also send an SAR to them. Do it now. You want to try and get everything that they have. When you get the disclosure then you need to check it very closely and apart from anything else see if you can spot anything that is obviously missing from it as well. This could be more important than the documents which the SAR contains.
