    • 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!

    • 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.

    • 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.

I really had to bite my tongue.

 

I think I'd be more inclined to bite something else, a head perhaps... It is a defence mechanism of mine, under stress, I go on the (verbal) attack with sarcasm and patronising platitudes, but never abuse or profanities.

You still have to do WRA, yes. But they have to take into account what you can and can't do. For example, one problem for me is I can't sit in a room full of people because of the noise (I don't process noise the way you do and it just goes into one loud horrible noise) so it's unreasonable to send me somewhere where there's going to be a lot of noise.

Perhaps you could also use your 4 weeks 'grace' to make them think a bit. Write to the manager advising that your seizures have currently increased significantly and ask what procedures they have in place to ensure your safety whilst on their premises, including providing privacy whilst you are having a seizure (make sure you say 'whilst' and not 'if', carefully wording let's them assume exactly what they want to assume without you lying or in any way exaggerating). Insist that if they don't already have them, they provide enough screens to completely shield you from view during a seizure or conduct all apointments in a completely private room. Also ask for the name and qualifications of whoever will be on 'first aid' duty whilst you are at their offices to be provided on each appointment letter, and also that they have to advise you before you leave home if no one is available on any particular day so that your appointment can be rearranged. A statement to the effect that the emergency services are not a reasonable alternative as you could have already come to significant harm before they arrive. You could close by pointing out that now they are aware of the safety issues surrounding your attendance, any failure to ensure your safety will result in a claim of negligence against both the company and any specific employee involved, should you come to any harm whilst at their premises.

It may have no effect whatsoever, but if whoever deals with it has their health and safety hat on, they may just decide you're more trouble than you're worth.

Just wondering. I'm currently in WRAG section of ESA and have just sent back my form to be reassessed. If I'm placed in the WRAG group again, will I lose £30 a week from April or will I not be effected as I'm a 'continuing claim'?

 

Having said that, I hope I'm placed into the support group this time as my doctors and neurologists think I'm unfit for work or work-related activity as my condition has got significantly worse.

 

I think I've filled in the form better this time, as I had help from my parents who told me to go into detail more. Just waiting for any kind of response from Maximus now - sent it back around the 31st August.

  • 4 weeks later...

Back story: I have severe anxiety (I haven't left the house for 6 weeks at this point), depression, epilepsy and a few other conditions which aren't under control.

 

I've been claiming ESA for just over a year and was placed into WRAG and referred to Ingeus at that time. I attended the first few meetings (which were tough for me) but they then closed the local office down meaning to get to appointments it is a 2 hour trip involving several buses. For someone with severe anxiety and epilepsy which isn't controlled, this simply isn't possible.

 

I have attended one meeting at this location and as a result, the day after I had a severe seizure and a large panic attack. Leading up to the meeting, I'd had several panic attacks. They have since allowed me to have two telephone appointments, but have also referred me to a "work coach".

 

My GP has said I am not fit for work. My neurologist has detailed my problems and the fact I become incontinent during the seizures (which can happen at any time, I have several each week) which has only added to my anxiety. I am also suffering from memory loss, meaning I can often not remember basic things like my phone number or the date, or what somebody said to me last week. This is terrifying for me.

 

Now, Ingeus are forcing me to attend a meeting in a couple of weeks. I rang up and asked if it was possible to do it via telephone, I was told "No, you have to attend." and that the word of my GPs (and letters) didn't matter.

 

I'm awaiting reassessment after filling in an ESA50 in August.

 

I asked if I have to attend, would Ingeus pay for a taxi (about £60 round trip) and they said they would let me know.

 

Why are they allowed to do this? I am already having panic attacks about this and am stressed about my pending reassessment (I sent it off in August and as of two weeks ago, they hadn't got round to reading my ESA50 yet). My GP has suggested I get my mum to write a letter (as I struggle to get my thoughts out properly) asking for Ingeus to prove they can provide a private room in case I have a seizure, evidence of each staff member's medical training to deal with my health issues and if they can provide information regarding their first aid procedures and what Epilepsy experience they have.

 

What do you think? Why do Ingeus think they know better than a doctor and a neurologist who have known me for 25 years?! :-x

Bazooka,

I asked for a mandatory reconsideration and was told that I did not meet the criteria for the support group.

 

I didn't go to appeal because I knew I would not be able to see my Neurologist before the tribunal (he's the top one in the country) and felt it was best to just try to get my epilepsy under control.

 

12 months later and it is worse than ever.

I'm hoping that with the rafts of medical evidence I have provided Maximus,

they will see that I am now severe enough to be in the support group.

 

Maximus, I must admit, have been excellent with me.

 

I forgot to send some of the evidence (some of it came after I sent the ESA50 back) and they gave me an e-mail address to send anything further to.

 

It's just Ingeus who are being pains.

Well, they did put it in writing but it was very vague. Just sort of:

 

Dear XXXXX,

 

As you requested, we have reviewed your ESA claim and feel it was correct to place you in the Work-Related Activity Group. Any extra medical evidence you sent has been kept on file or destroyed, as we are unable to return it due to the Data Protection Act.

 

If you wish to take this decision to a tribunal...

 

and then all the details of that.

 

Basically, they didn't say why they couldn't put me in the support group (despite my GP going through the list and saying I should 'easily' qualify for it) and I couldn't deal with the stress of a tribunal.

 

I'm putting a claim in for PIP next week and have amassed about 50 pages of stuff and several different health professionals have said I should qualify for at least the standard component on both sections. (Main ones being unable to complete tasks reliably, needing someone with me any time I leave the house, incontinence any time I have a seizure, which is frequent etc.) I just dislike all the form filling and box ticking that getting a tiny amount of money requires.

DWP guidance on travel time to a place of work, and one would hope that this includes activities such as Ingeus appointments, is that it should take no more than 90 minutes each way. If it is taking two hours, then I'd be raising a complaint with the DWP, via an MP if needs be.

Ingeus have said they'll pay for the taxi fare.

 

Can't help but think I'll get there and they won't pay for me to get home. I'm taking my dad with me anyway as he helps to look after me. My dad has typed up a letter asking that in future they notify us of their first aid qualifications, proof they can provide a private area and who exactly will be qualified on the day I am there and what their experience in epilepsy is. Doctor has read it and thinks it's excellent. Question is - what will Ingeus do? I don't want to be sanctioned purely because I want to feel safe if I'm being made to go somewhere foreign to me.

They can't apply a sanction merely because you wrote them a letter asking for accommodation for your health issues. As long as you show up and participate, you have done all that's required. And if they try to get out of paying for you to get home again, well, that would not be acceptable. You'd be well within your rights to raise the matter with the DWP's Work Programme Liaison person.

 

Now, as to what they will do, that's a tougher one. Mr.P is a better WP watcher than I am, but I'm pretty sure that you're entitled to private consultations and that your health issues should be taken into account at all parts of the process.

[...]but I'm pretty sure that you're entitled to private consultations and that your health issues should be taken into account at all parts of the process.

 

As part of the original Work Programme specification, providers were required to make provision for meetings to be conducted in a private room. As some clients would have specific personal issues that must remain confidential (for example, complex health issues, or criminal records), these facilities should be available at all times.

 

For some providers, a couple of flimsy screens around a desk is considered a suitable "private area". A4e fell foul of this ill considered idea when I asked the DWP about breaches of confidentiality and passed comment about Mr.K's criminal record. Others may use the filing cupboard as a designated private area. Again, not a good idea as this exposes client records to the risk of unauthorised access.
