    • 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.

Hello

 

This is a new post by myself and I'm quite new to this. I sent a SAR to Barclays for an account I no longer have. I'd like to know if people have had any success in claiming back the fees on theses type of accounts.....

 

I opened a Barclays Bank Account in July 1994. It was just a normal bank account with an overdraft facility should I require it. This was only intended to be a secondry account as my main account was held elsewhere.

 

I recently received my statements and some other information that the bank held about me. I remember whilst I had the account that at some stage, 2001, the title of the account changed to Barclays Additions. It was certainly not something I asked for but noticed a monthly charge on the account. Nothing in the documents I received confirm I applied for this account. Do I therefore send a CCA to Barclays or do I write a letter of complaint about account being changed without my consent?

 

If I send a CCA or letter of complaint which address do I use?

 

Any advice to help me move this on would be greatly appretiated

Hello slick132 and maroondevo52

 

I will read all the thread again and see what I can pick up. I have been lucky in obtaining all the statements from the period I was put on an Additions account.

 

I had little problem getting my SAR unlike Alice but my partner is having a problem with Barclaycard

 

Regards

DD

Hi Slick

 

Yes I've now re read Alices thread. I already have my statements which confirm about me holding an Additions account from 2001-2006. There was no evidence that came with the SAR to confirm I actually requested this type of account. I believe it was switched from my ordinary basic account which I opened in 1994.

 

Am I correct in thinking that any CCA would have been sent to me with my SAR, if that is the case then do I now send a letter of complaint?

 

Thank you for any advice you can give ☺

the account is no longer operational, the agreement is over..so a CCA request is pointless.

typically you don't get agreements in an SAR return

and esp so from Barclays...

 

 

have you done your spreadsheet?

that need to go with the letter of complaint

else they'll treat it as a speculative claim

and fob you off without even reading your letter.

 

 

you need to provide evidence too.

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

Thank you dx, is there a template for the letter?

 

All the copies of my statements they sent me in return of my SAR cover the years I had an Additions account. In what form of evidence do I need dx? Can you advise of which Spredsheet I need and includes the 8% interest?

 

Many thanks again.......

  • 2 months later...

I have an update to my claim with my Packaged Fee account and would really appretiate some help and advice regarding my claim.

 

Looking through previous statements

I now realise the cost of an overdraft I originally had on my free account increased to almost 400% when I was switched to the Package Account.

 

 

I originally sent a letter to Barclays outlining my fee charges plus interest.

I now believe these increased fees helped my account become unmanageable when I became temporarily unemployed.

 

 

Needless say I received a CCJ with costs.

I am happy to say that all that has passed now but can I include this within my claim

 

 

if so how do I gauge the cost of all that?

Any help and advice will be greatly received

Hello dx100uk

 

I only paid interest on my authorised overdraft on my free account when my account went overdrawn. It wasn't very much. However, when my account was switched to a package account the charge for the Additions account was considerably higher. It was only a secondary account and had it of been my main account I would have probably realised much earlier about the "Fee" levied against the account instead of the interest. Of course these fees increased on what seems a yearly basis
