    • This must be part of the new tactic from Evri.  They know they are going to lose. They take it to the wire and then don't bother to turn up in order to save themselves costs and of course they don't give a damn about the cost to the British taxpayer and the extra court delays they cause. This is a nasty dishonest company – but rather in line with all of the parcel delivery industry which knows that their insurance requirements are unlawful. They know that their prohibited items are for the most part unfair terms. They know for the most part that a "safe place" is exactly what it means – are not left on somebody's doorstep in full view. They know that obtaining a signature means that they have to show the signature not simply claim that they received a signature. They are making huge profits especially from their unlawful and unenforceable insurance requirement. Although this is less valuable than the PPI scandal, in terms of the number of people who are affected nationwide, PPI pales into insignificance. I hope the paralegals working for Evri are proud of themselves and they tell their families what they have done during the day when they go home.
    • Your PCN does not comply with the Protection of freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9[2][a] (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; The only time on the PCN is 17.14. That is only  a time for there to be a period there would have to be a start and and end time mentioned. of course they do show the ANPR arrival and departures  times but that is not the parking period and their times are on the photographs not on the PCN. They also failed to comply with S.9[2][f] as they omitted to say that they could only pursue the keeper if they complied with the Act. That means that they can only pursue the driver as the keeper cannot be held liable for the charge. As they do not know who was driving and Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person they will struggle to win. Especially as so many people are able to legally drive your car and you haven't appealed giving them no indication therefore of who was driving. Small nitpicking point-the date of Infringement was 22/04/2024. They appear to be saying that they can charge an extra amount [up to £70 ] if they have to use a debt collector. You do not have a contract with a debt collector so they cannot add that cost. You paid for four hours so it can only be the 15 minutes they are complaining about. You are entitled to a ten minute minimum grace period at the end of the parking period which would be easier to explain if the car park had been bigger. However if you allow for two minutes to park and two minutes to leave that gives you one minute to account for. Things like being held on the way out by cars in front waiting to get on to Northgate or even your own car being held up trying to get on to Northgate at a busy time. then other considerations like having to stop to allow pedestrians to walk in front of you or being held up by another car doing a u turn in front of your car. you would have to check with the driver and see if they could account for an extra one minute things like a disabled passenger or having to strap in a child . I am not advocating lying since that could lead to serious problems [like jail time] but there can be an awful lot of minor things that can cause a hold up of a minute even the engine not starting straight away or another car being badly parked as examples. Sadly you cannot include the 5 minute Consideration period as both IPC and BPA fail to comply with the convention that you can include that time with the Grace period.

    • Hi all, I wanted to update you and thank you all for your help. I am delighted announce that after the case was struck out due to no response from Evri, judgement was issued after I submitted the forms and I was just about to take it to warrant.  today I received an email from the claims department requesting my bank details to make payment for my full award. The process has been long since the initial proceedings  in January i must say your help and guidance has been greatly appreciated.

    • 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.

If they don't cancel the court claim, you will end up with a default CCJ if you don't acknowledge the claim. So still acknowledge that you will defend in full and then you might even enter a defence that they did not allow sufficient time to resolve but that you have now entered into a repayment arrangement with x water company. If there are other issues you can include in defence. The claim will then be stayed after a period as they don't need to continue because you are making payment.

 

What you want to avoid is a default CCJ on your record, which the water company might not be unhappy about.

We could do with some help from you.

Apologies I should have been more clear. I acknowledged the claim to give myself more time - the time has almost run out. I wrote a letter to the compnay offering instalments and they have written back. The main things they said...

 

I am writing further to your recent contact with this office about your outstanding account and I can confirm that, as a goodwill gesure, it has been agreed that you can settle the deby by paying in instalments to prevent judgement being entered against you.

 

...

 

If you fail to make the payments on the due dates we will have no alternative but to refer your account back to the County Court for Judgement which will add a further fee to your account and may also affect your credit rating.

I'm not sure why they mention an extra fee as they have already added the charges they are allowed to add for taking it to court. So, do I need to do anything or can I just leave it and make the payments?

 

Thanks for all the responses

who is the water company please

and is this only this years bill?

 

I would be ringing them and asking what is happening about the claim?

 

ask them if this agreement is a tomlin/consent order

- a Tomlin Order (Consent) stays the claim ...avoids judgment....as long as you stick to the agreed payments.

 

or if its an agreement shall we say in kind and the whole claim is dropped

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

just clarify what they are offering first.

 

they say as a gesture of good will....

but then say back to court to enforce judgement

 

if they drop the case totally

they cant do that.

 

so i'm gonna guess its a tomlin they will send you a tomlin agreement.

and as long as you pay that

nothing will show on your file

nor will you get a CCJ.

I would put in a defence and say that the debt is denied and that you and the claimant have reached an agreement so that now the claim should be stayed.

Send that off and don't put anything more.

Stay making the agreed payments and don't miss a single one

Thanks for the response. I emailed the litigation team and got the response below - still not sure if I'm ok!

 

The court confirmed that a Tomlin Order can only be granted after a defence has been submitted. Due to you not defending the claim and a Direct Debit being in place for £xx per month (an initial payment of £xx will be taken on xx xx xx) a Tomlin Order is not required.

 

By making the payments agreed, it will prevent a County Court Judgment being entered against you, which could affect your credit rating.

They put that section in bold, not me.

Hi dx100uk thanks so much for your responses and help. I've just had a look, unfortunately I can't show you the first email I sent them as I used a webform and don't have a copy of the text. I sent it on 2 November 2016 and filled in my details on my online account to set up the direct debit. They set up the DD and sent me a letter that I mentioned earlier in the thread

 

I am writing further to your recent contact with this office about your outstanding account and I can confirm that, as a goodwill gesure, it has been agreed that you can settle the deby by paying in instalments to prevent judgement being entered against you.

 

An initial payment of xx is now due no later than xx, followed by x monthly payments of xx commencing xx.

 

These payments will be collected by Direct Debit as you requested.

 

If you fail to make the payments on the due dates we will have no alternative but to refer your account back to the county courtlink3.gif for Judgement which will add a further fee to your account and may also affect your credit rating.

I emailed the litigation team this (I made mistakes, I know)

 

Customer reference:

 

Claim number:

 

Dear Sir/Madam

I write with reference to the above account.

Thank you for agreeing to the repayment plan I have suggested. As the court action is still in the system, I need you to before it or confirm that we have agreed to a Tomlin Order in order to avoid pursuing the full County Court Judgement. If you are unable to do this I will need to defend the case - by saying that we have agreed a repayment plan - so that a judgement is not entered against me by default.

Please reply to this email by 21 November 2016 due to the legal timescales in place.

Thanks

i see what you mean..

 

ok as it invites you to discuss things.

 

I would simply reply asking:

 

I thank you for your co-operation in this matter

it is extremely important to me that I do not get a CCJ,

nor have a stayed court claim hanging over me or showing on my credit file.

 

sorry if I am asking a silly question but I am not legally minded other than reading internet debt forums

so might have used the wrong terminology before.

 

but can I just totally confirm that the court case has been discontinued by yourselves, and the court has/will be informed?

because as it stands looking at the MCOL website regarding the claim, it is live and requires me to enter a defence yesterday.

 

I thank you for you time

OK so I phoned and the person went through the court procedure. I asked them to email what they said so I had a record and this is it...

 

Hello xx xxx,

 

As discussed, the court process is as follows:

 

Once a Claim has been issued by the Court, we as the Claimant have up to 6 months to request a Judgment if necessary. As we have requested the claim, the Court await confirmation from us as to how we wish to proceed. We are happy to enter into an arrangement with the Defendant if they are able/willing to pay off the balance within the 6 month period. This is classed as a Goodwill Payment Arrangement.

 

If the Defendant files a Defence with the Court then the Claim must follow the process as set by the Court. If a payment arrangement is agreed pre judgment then the arrangement (Tomlin) must be registered with the Court. They charge an administration fee of £100.00 to register the Tomlin and this fee is payable by the Defendant. If the Defendant fails to maintain the payment arrangement we are able to request that Judgment is entered in order to enforce payment by alternative means (Charging Order in the case of a homeowner or Attachment of Earnings if the Defendant is employed.)

 

I do hope this email helps to clarify the situation but you have my telephone number if you require any further information.

Does this make sense?
