    • Well, that's it then. Clear proof of the rubbish cameras. Clear proof of double dipping. G24 won't be getting a penny. Belt & braces, I would write to the address LFI has found, include the evidence of double dipping, and ask Fraser Group to call their dogs off.
    • LOL. after sending Perch capital a CCA request with a stapled £1 PO attached (x2) Their lapdog Legal team TM Legal have sent me two letters today saying "due to a recent payment on the account, your account is open to legal/enforcement action" so i guess they have tried to apply that payment to the account to run the statue bar along. dirty tactics lol.
    • I have initiated the breathing space so ill wait. from re reading everything this what i understand BS gives me 60 days break from the creditors during these 60 days they may contact me and will most likely default I need to wait until after a default notice to see whether the OC will keep the debt or sell it off If kept by the OC then i should attempt a plan or pay some token payment? If sold to DCA then don't pay and after 6 years it will leave my credit report once the DN is registered with a date. DCA may start a CCJ but unlikely, if they do come back here. last question, do you know roughly how long this will all take? in terms of defaults/default notice, potential CCJ? Would you say I have 12 months plus from when the BS ends?
    • Well, it's up to you. Years & years & years ago the forum used to suggest appealing to POPLA, but then AFAIK POPLA's remit was changed and it became much more biased in favour of the PPCs. One of the problems with taking that route is that the onus will fall on you to prove your appeal, while if you do nothing the onus is on MET to start legal action which experience teaches they are very, very reluctant to do. If you go down the POPLA route I would think your ace would be insufficient signage.  Are you able to go back there and get photos of their rubbish, entrapping signs?
    • The first clearly visible sign as you pull in to the car park states “McDonald’s Customers Only 60 minutes” The next clearly visible sign is an almost identical sign outside Starbucks which states “60 minutes free stay for customers only” There are other signs towards the rear of the car park (away from the outlets) that have the terms and conditions on them in very small print.

    • 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.

Hi

 

Used Parcel2Go/Hermes to deliver two parcels to the same residential address, this was the result of a sale through eBay for £1100

 

i have used this combo a few times to deliver and never had an issue until now

 

Both parcels were sent without insurance - I had previously took out insurance on a parcel that was damaged which the courier company managed to wriggle their way out of paying compensation so from that moment I decided taking insurance was pointless.

 

anyway back to the reason I’m posting here

 

both parcels were collected by Hermes and logged in their tracking system and I insisted and paid for a signature from the recipient once delivered 

 

now one parcel was left by a side gate and no signature was obtained

 

The second more expensive part according to Hermes tracking system was returned to their hub depot for attempted delivery the next day

 

now according to my buyer on eBay no attempt was made to deliver the 2nd parcel , the buyer then went to the local Hermes depot and spoke to the manager who advised the parcel was not there and they then said the parcel appeared to have been stolen by the local courier who they sub letted the job to and he wasn’t contactable - the same person also confirmed this to me over the phone and she said her security team had been made aware but my best option was to go back to Parcel2Go.

 

I went back to Parcel2Go  who said they would look into and speak to Hermes to try and get this resolved.

 

couple of days later I received an email from Parcel2Go confirming my parcel had been found and they would deliver the next working

 

Problem over or so I thought, I was then advised by my eBay buyer that no delivery had been attempted and I got back on to P2GO who said they were having trouble delivering to the address - to me it seemed like they were stalling for time

 

i then received an email saying the item was now lost and they offered me £20 in compensation which I declined three times and then I decided to file a claim online through the court on the 3rd June and I just checked online at it says Parcel2Go have filed acknowledgement of service and intend to contest the claim.

 

just looking for some guidance , I have read through similar cases on here and the good work that goes on here in terms of helpful advice that’s offered.

 

i myself cannot believe this kind of practice is allowed to carry on and companies like P2GO & Hermes think they can get away this

for some reason it has £700 as the declared value , I definitely remember putting in £1100 Which is what my eBay sale was for and of course I have proof of the sale on EBay 

 

sorry can you confirm what POC is ? I’m new to this

Yeah I don’t know why the declared value was £700 with Parcel2Go when I sold it for £1100 , perhaps a mistake on my part when booking it 

 

I declared it at £1100 as I had proof of sale on eBay , and with what happened since I sent it surely these companies must be accountable - the fact they confirmed in writing they had recovered my item 

 

I suppose I’m now unable to amend my claim to £700? 

 

With Parcel2Go now putting together their case do you think I should see this through? Will this end up costing me more? It’s really is a sorry situation

Sure , in terms of the phone calls I got the name of the branch manager at Hermes but it all happened rather quickly as I was frantic trying to track it down

 

yes agreed I haven’t done myself any favours in terms of the declared value but I was adamant I put in £1100 as it makes no sense to me why it would be £700

 

thank you for your help so far it’s certainly an eye opener and once you go through something like this it’s hard to know where you stand or who to turn to so I appreciate your input.

  • 2 months later...

Apologies all it dragged on a little but I settled via court mediation

 

parcel2go kept refuting my claim and offered me £20

 

I went down the route of mediation 

 

although I felt I had a strong case I settled on £300 

 

Although I had no insurance I at least had ‘signed for service’ which wasn’t secured by Hermes 

 

also so I didn’t really want to go to court and face the prospect of losing the case and losing more money 

 

overall a massive lesson learned and I will never use Parcel2Go or Hermes again
