    • 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.

  • 3 weeks later...

Hello again and thank you for your help previously.

 

I have galvanised myself and have been trying to draft a defence ready to file online this week.

 

Could you please help with a query. I submitted a request for documentation from the Claimant using the template on this forum.

 

I got back at letter saying they were contacting the original lender to obtain copies of the overdraft Agreement etc as referred to in the claim s these docs were not in their possession.

 

However they did include photocopies of the following:-

 

Letter from Lloyds dated July 2013 re assigning to Aktiv Capital Portfolio;

Letter from Aktiv dated July 2013 regarding assignment from Lloyds;

Letter from PRA dated January 2015 regarding assignment from Aktiv to PRA (ie the claimant).

 

My problem is that I have never seen these letters as they were sent to an address I moved out of in 2010. I had a Royal Mail Redirection arranged when I moved but the letters were sent after that expired.

 

From reading Section 196 of the LPA my understanding is that the Notice is 'deemed' served if it is sent by REGISTERED post to the last known address (or left there) and NOT RETURNED TO SENDER. Is this correct?

 

Because I had no knowledge of these Notices that were apparently sent to my old address. My old landlady there was a very formidable woman and I have been in touch with her to find out what happened to any post that arrived for me after the redirection ended and she says she did in fact mark the post 'no longer at this address) and give it back to the postman. The postman would collect post from her every day as she was elderly and didn't go to the post box as she lived in a rural location. She also says she would never have accepted or signed for a registered letter for me when I no longer lived there.

 

Does this affect the validity of the notices that PRA have now disclosed to me? If so how much detail should I put in the defence? Would it suffice to say that I deny the notices were validly served on me as I believed they were returned to sender unopened by my landlady?

 

I moved out of the address in question (the last address the bank had for me) in 2010, I lived somewhere else for a year and have been in my present address for over 5 years. The the notices were sent to my oldest address in 2013 and 2015. I was on the electoral roll in the subsequent addresses.

 

Finally does anot assignor/assignee have a duty to make a reasonable search for the correct address of someone? It feels pretty unfair that these Notices that I had no idea about are valid especially as the claimant was able to ascertain my address correctly for the claim form, but not for the Notice 18 months ago, even tho i have lived here at this address over 5 years.

 

Sorry for such a long post. Feel really unwell over this and jusr want to get this defence sent and stop it hanging over me.

So in effect you failed to notify Lloyds of your change of address..who in turn could not provide the assignee of your current address.

 

I personally wouldn't be too concerned as Notice of Assignment will play only a minor part of your defence...

 

At least the claim form found the correct address...thats more important.

Hi and thanks for your response.

 

So would you suggest that I include this point of what I think is a defect in service of a Notice of Assignment or not?

 

It seems relevant to me to the defence in as much i hace to accept or dispute that the notices referred to were served on me or not.

I had two accounts with Lloyds based at the same branch and I did communicate my change of address to Lloyds as well as arrange a redirection and tick the box for Royal Mail to contax5 all utility providers etc with change of address. The 2 accounts with lloyds were current account (the subject of this claim) and a personal loan. The personal loan was assigned to a different company and I did get notice of this in 2913 at my present address and have an ongoing repayment in place with that company that I pay every month and have never missed.

 

This is why I am raising this point, I did not know about the assignment of the subject of this claim even though clearly Lloyds had my correct address in 2013 at the time the PRA Notice was sent to the wrong address and returned to sender unopened.

 

Should I include this in defence?

So this is the draft defence to the PRA claim, following the above link. Is this ok to submit?�� I have not included references to 'Paragraph 1 is denied, or paragraph 2 is denied' etc. This is because there are no paragraphs in the Particulars I received. It is just one (unnumbered) paragraph.

 

Here goes..... any feedback or amen ends would be much appreciated.

 

1. The claimant claims the sum of £1900 for debt and interest. On 01/12/89 the defendant entered into an agreement with lloyds for an overdraft under reference (here is bank sortcode and account number).

2.On 03/11/09 the defendant defaulted on the agreement with an outstanding balance of £1500.

3.On 24/06/13 the debt of £1500 assigned to aktiv kapital portfolio as, oslo zug branch who itself assigned the debt to pra group (uk) ltd .On 31/12/14. notices of assignment were sent to the defendant in accordance with s136 law of property act 1925. payments of £10 received up to 17/07/13

 

and the claimant claims

1. the sum of £1500

2. statutory interest pursuant to section 69 of the county courts act 1984 at a rate of 8% per annum from 17/07/13 to 02/09/16 £376.33 and thereafter at a daily rate of 0.33 until judgement or sooner payment.

 

 

#####Defence#####

 

The Defendant contends that the Particulars of Claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made.

 

1. Paragraph 1 is admitted that the Defendant once had banking facilities with the original creditor Lloyds Bank. It is denied that the Defendant is indebted for the alleged balance claimed.

 

2. Paragraph 2 is denied. Lloyds has ever served Notice pursuant to 76(1) and 98(1) of the CCA1974 and therefore the Assignee is prevented from seeking any relief for any alleged outstanding balance pursuant to the CCA1974.

 

3. Paragraph 3 is denied.The Defendant has ever been aware of or received any Notice of Assignment pursuant to the Law of Property Act 1925 from either LLoyds or the assignee. It is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

 

 

4. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed.

The Claimant is also put to strict proof to:-.

 

(a) Provide a copy agreement/overdraft facility arrangement along with the Terms and conditions at inception that this claim is based on.

(b) Provide a copy of the Notice served under 76(1) and 98(1) of the CCA1974 Demand /Recall Notice and Notice of Assignment.

© Provide a breakdown of all excessive charging/fees and show how the Claimant has reached the amount claimed.

(d) Show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim.

(e) Show how they have complied with sections III & IV of Practice Direction - Pre-action Conduct.

 

5. On receipt of this claim the Defendant requested documentation by way of a CPR 31.14 request dated 12 September 2016 namely the Overdraft Agreement, Terms and Conditions relevant at the time of inception for the agreed overdraft and Termination Demand Notice inferred by the Claimant's Particulars of Claim.

 

The Claimant has failed to respond or comply with this request.

 

By reason of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.
