    • Thank you both for your expert knowledge and understanding. You're fighting the good fight by standing up for people like me and others with limited knowledge of this stuff. I thank you. I know all my DVLA details are good. I recently (last year) renewed my license, and my car's V5 is current with the correct details; the same is valid for my partner. I'll continue to ignore the love letters 😂 and won't let it be either me or my partner.  I'll revisit this post if/when I get a letter of claim.  F**k ém.
    • Please check back later on today for a fuller response and some edits
    • Good morning all, No further communication with P2G so now submitting my small claims action. Would be grateful for any feedback on my description of claim before I submit later. The defendant in this case is Parcel2Go Limited The claimant sent a parcel using Parcel2Go Ltd as a broker and Evri as the shipper containing two handmade bespoke wedding trays to a customer with tracking number P2Gxxxxxxxx. The parcel was never delivered although the defendant stated that three attempts had been made to deliver the parcel.  The claimants customer waited in for four days to receive the delivery but no delivery was attempted. There was no communication with the claimants customer.  Despite many web chats and emails the parcel was not delivered and on the Parcel2Go website it stated that the customer had refused delivery. This was not true as no delivery had been attempted.  I was informed that the parcel was being returned to me but after waiting three weeks was informed by Evri that the parcel was lost. I was offered compensation of £20 + shipping fee which I refused and after sending Parcel2Go a Letter of claim this was increased to £75 which I also refused. It is clear that the defendant is responsible for the loss of the parcel as they did not act with reasonable care and skill when handling the claimants parcel, contrary to section 49 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015. The claimant therefore seeks £370 in respect to the value of goods plus court costs. I thought it might be better to use the CRA rather than the Supply of Goods and Services Act as we are sole traders - is this correct?
    • No new development, I'm afraid. The last update I received was a letter from the court, advising that the case had been transferred to Croydon County Court.

    • 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.

Thanks, but I've exhausted every effort for assistance with this. I would be on the street if I was evicted. Would a judge not accept a token payment of what I can afford, or an offer of increased payments when my income increases until the property has sold?

 

 

I note from reading the forum that others have been granted time to assess their income and affordability moving forward - Cannot understand why I would not be given that chance too

The majority of other cases you have read have been where the defendants have been able to offer ta level of payment that a judge considered to be adequate to suspend eviction.

 

Please, please contact Shelter tomorrow

But Shelter may have another help option for you for court, I know they  can accompany defendants at the hearing and help support the case,  they have a legal team for situations like yours.. don't you think it's worth trying?

nothing to do with legal aid - its free.

they're the guys that can probably help you are affirm what we are saying is your best route.

 

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

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

What is it exactly they can do to assist me?

 

Sorry if I am repeating myself, but under severe stress and also have various health problems.

 

I am also a stroke survivor and suffered massive brain haemorrhage in 2014 which nearly killed me...

I have some brain damage as a result of the bleeding and cognitive problems and any stress could cause a fatal bleed in brain, so this situation is obviously not good for me

 

People keep mentioning shelter, but no point getting assistance at court if I have no chance of success.. That would only exasperate my health conditions

They may be able to provide some legal representation at a hearing which could give some weight to what you are trying to achieve

I feel that would cause more stress and hassle for me at the moment. I have tried many avenues to get legal assistance and is not possible... It would be less stressful and easier for me to defend in court myself. If I had a good chance of success, I would be physically and mentally capable of going to the court myself to defend, but with a slim chance, I see no point in doing that

 

If they affirmed what you have said of hardly any chance of succeeding then that would be a waste of my time and energy and pointless to me

Some of the replies on here have been so supportive, helpful and encouraging, but quite upset that some feel the need to cause further anxiety & distress with comments such as telling me I am just repeating myself over and over. These comments seem to have been removed now, but were clearly made with intention to cause upset rather than any support. Yes, maybe I do repeat myself. Some of my questions have gone unanswered and am also on several medications which can cause cognitive problems. Just wish people were a bit more mindful of their comments.

I don't believe any of your questions have been unanswered - I have tried my very best to advise and help you but you always have a reason not to act upon it.   If an eviction notice arrives I will happily help you put in a defence asking for time to sell the property - I would never leave anyone without help - but I always have to be realistic.  It wouldn't be right to give anyone false hope.

 

However  I cannot understand why you refuse to contact Shelter who may be able to sort out rented accommodation for you as well as provide a legal representative in court - when I say they may be able to give "weight" to your case I mean their knowledge of court procedures and hearings will be invaluable when talking to a judge and the lender.  Legal assistance in court is invaluable.

 

However,  if you do nothing - you will be evicted that is fact-  bailiffs will turn up on  the eviction date, you will have to leave and they will secure the property.  You would then have to make arrangements with them to come back at a later date to collect any belongings you haven't already taken with you.

 

Please try to do something to make your situation better.

Hi Ell-enn,

 

It may be less costly for me to apply with N244 now rather than wait for an eviction date. Not sure I would have to pay the court fee anyway due to low income.

 

In addition to asking the judge to allow as much time to sell as possible, could I also ask for more time to assess my finances / raise funds towards mortgage payments? 

 

I fell into arrears due to problems with a spinal injury and other health problems which affected my ability to work and also other factors. Since falling into arrears I have also suffered nervous breakdown and am currently taking several medications which affect day-to-day functioning / ability to work. I hope to be off of these medications soon, which would allow me to return to work and resume regular mortgage payments. In the meantime I could maybe offer a small amount towards arrears. I also may be awarded PIP, which would be an additional income, although it may be a couple of months before I would receive that. 

 

I can provide evidence for the judge of property on the market and GP letter. Am I allowed to ask the judge to not allow the lender to add any legal costs to my mortgage account? 

 

Would really appreciate your help with this and what to write on N244, as just don't want to lose my home.

OK,  Firstly can you fill in the affixed budget sheet (it calculates automatically as you fill it in) - we will need this to go with your N244.  Let me know when you've done it.

 

We will take this one step at a time,  so everything is clear for you.

 

Do you have a printer at home?

I don't believe I always have a reason not to act upon your advice.

I appreciate your advice.

 

I am sure Shelter are great, but have already contacted several organisations and exhausted efforts to get legal representation.

From my understanding Shelter can help find private rented accommodation, which isnt a problem for me to find myself

- They problem is not currently having funds available to rent

- Hence trying to stop/delay eviction.

 

As for legal representation in court, I do not have enough time left to pursue this, so feel it would be best to focus on your assistance with N244 and maybe their might be a duty legal advisor available in court.

 

I don't think i'm doing nothing and trying all I am capable of to make my situation better.

 

Cambridgeshire.    

 

Thank you. Yes I have a printer and will do this as soon as I can.

 

Do I put my current income, or what my income will be when I return to work?

You put what your current income is - we can deal with what the future income might be in your N244 statement

Hi Ell-enn,

 

Sorry I have only just seen your reply.

My current income is zero as I am not able to work at the moment due to ill health & several prescription medications.

My family are currently helping me with small amounts of money for food and basic survival

- So not sure what I would put on the I&e form...

 

I was thinking I should put what my normal income & expenditure will be when I am able to return to work, along with offer towards arrears and normal monthly payments, so that the judge can see that I can afford payments in the near future, until property has sold and ask if the judge would allow me some time to return to work on a certain date?

 

I'm not sure what I can put on I&e form otherwise... 

 

Would really appreciate you help. 

 

Hi HB,

 

Thank you for your reply. I am not eligible for any legal aid and cannot afford any legal representation.

 

I have also sought legal assistance on a pro-bono basis, however there is not enough time left now to pursue this and am not eligible due to court hearing already having taken place..

. I think will be better for me to go with assistance from Ell-enn with N244

We have already explained that Shelter's legal assistance is NOT legal aid - they have a legal team that can accompany you at your court hearing, hopefully you will understand this tine....  they could also find you a place to rent.   Please consider giving them a call

Agree that contacting the charity Shelter might help you deal with this. They have advisors in most arears of the country and may be able to support you while you are trying to seek a resolution.

 

The other very important aspect is your mental health. You must ensure that you receive help with this. The charity Rethink can help point you in the right direction.

We could do with some help from you.

As, already stated, I don't have any money to privately rent anywhere at the moment.

 

I do not feel I have the time to pursue any legal assistance in court through Shelter and as stated before,

 

I think it would be best for me to go forward with your assistance with an N244 now and ask for a duty legal advisor if one available at court.

 

I have replied to your previous reply re budget sheet and await your reply
