    • I've looked through all our old NPE threads, and as far as we know they have never had the bottle to do court. There are no guarantees of course, but when it comes to put or shut up they definitely tend towards shut up. How about something like -   Dear Jonathan and Julie, Re: PCN no.XXXXX cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea that you actually expected me to take this tripe seriously and cough up. I'll write to you not some uninterested third party, thanks all the same, because you have are the ones trying to threaten me about this non-existent "debt". Go and look up Jopson v Homeguard Services Ltd, saddos.  Oh, while you're at it, go and look up your Subject Access Request obligations - we all know how you ballsed that up way back in January to March. Dear, dear, dear - you couldn't resist adding your £70 Unicorn Food Tax, you greedy gets.  Judges don't like these made-up charges, do they? You can either drop this foolishness now or get a hell of a hammering in court.  Both are fine with me.  Summer is coming up and I would love a holiday at your expense after claiming an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to your deafening silence.   That should show them you're not afraid of them and draw their attention to their having legal problems of their own with the SAR.  If they have any sense they'll crawl back under their stone and leave you in peace.  Over the next couple of days invest in a 2nd class stamp (all they are worth) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • 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! As ever, many thanks - G59

    • 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.

 To cut a long story short I was assaulted by 3 secuity guards from B&Q and dragged back into the store passed all the tills and falsely imprisoned in an office at the front of the store.

 

As a result of the assault an ambulance was called.

I am currently on sick leave which is a huge problem as I run my own company.

 

When the police arrived they took my name and questioned me.

When I produced my receipt that was the end of the matter.

As far as the police are concerned.

I was free to go.

 

However, the security guards overheard the police questioning me and obtained my name address and date of birth.

Regardless of the fact that the police stated my actions were not dishonest they proceeded to ban me from every store in the country.

They also issued me with a notice of intended civil recovery, for the sum of £250.

 

The police have said that they have had no losses.

 

Having researched RLP I started to become very concerned and Contacted the Information Commisssioners Office.

I was instructed by the Information Commissioners Office to request that my name and details are removed from any databases that they operate or any databases that they supply data for especially RLP and Cerico databases.

I will keep you informed of developments.

Welcome to the site.Keep us posted.

 

To make one point clear I was challenged outside the store by 3 unidentified males. When one of them started to push me I warned him that it was assault and when he did it again I called the police. I am not a thief. The security guards wrestled my replacement bolier off me. When I started walking back to the store the 3 secuirty guards jumped me. One had his arm around my neck and the others had my arms. At this point B&Q were in possession of my money the faulty bolier and my repalcement bolier. I am taking action against B&Q for assault and false imprisonment. The security guards are facing criminal proceedings.

I have had no correspondence from RLP yet. The Notice of intended civil recovery was handed to me in the office that I was imprisoned in at the B&Q store. I told the B&Q manager that I would be holding B&Q responsible. The Notice refers to the passing of my data to an RLP database. The one example given of the use of my data contained on the RLP database would be to check application forms but it does not define the nature or type of the appliaction form.

 

This is the notice.

£250

The cost of your detention

The costs of the investigation in to the offence

A proportion of security costs, surveillance and loss prevention measures at the store to prevent such thefts

 

CIVIL RECOVERY IS NOT A FINE AND IS ENTIRELY SEPERATE FROM ANY CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS THAT MAY BE TAKEN AGAINST YOU BY THEPROSECUTING AUTHORITIES.

 

IT HAS NO INFLUENCE ON ANY DECISION TO PROSECUTE YOU OR ANY PENALTY SUBSEQUENTLY IMPOSED UPON YOU BY A CRIMINAL COURT.

Have you got any witnesses ?

What have B&Q had to say about things ?

The whole incident both inside outside the store was captured on CCTV. B&Q have assured me that they have secured the copies of the CCTV. I have made a written formal request for disclosure of the CCTV. I spoke to the Police Officer on Friday and he confirms that the security guard was behind me with his arm around my neck, whilst the other was holding my arm.

 

B&Q's risk management team are investigating the incident.

I note that B&Q have a history of assaulting there customers. Exactly a year ago they attacked another of there customers. The only difference between his assault and mine was that I had actually returned the goods that I had paid for and was leaving with replacement combination bolier for which I paid £500.

Last wednesday I was surrounded by 3 security whilst leaving B&Q with goods that I had a receipt for. They started pushing me and I said that if they touched me again I would call the police. They pushed me again and I telephoned 999. I was assaulted and dragged back into to the store. The police arrived and questioned me. When I produced the receipt for the £500 combi bolier that was the end of the matter as far as the police were concerned. As a result of the imjuries I sustained in the assualt an ambulance was called and I spent the afternoonat hospital.

 

I have been banned from every B&Q store in the country and they issued me with a notice of civil recovery. The assualt was captured on CCTV. The security guards are now facing criminal proceedings and I am awaiting a response from the B&Q risk management team as to what they intend to do about the about assault and false arrest.

 

It is exactly a year since B&Q security guards assaulted another customer Tiler1. I was just wondering if I was assaulted because they hadn't met there quota of assaults on customer for this year.

 

I have been a loyal customer of B&Q for many years. In the course of my business I spend approximately £10,000 a year at B&Q. B&Q are refusing to remove my name from a database of dishonest people. This is in the full knowledge that the police have investigated the incident and reached the conclusion that my actions were that of an honest person. I have been instructed by the ICO to request that B&Q remove my details immediately from the database.

 

I am now on sick leave and I intend to hold B&Q responsible for the injuries caused to myself and for loss of earnings. My only concern is that the CCTV evidence will disappear. I would be interested to know of similar incidents at B&Q.

cjaynap If you wish to take this matter further PLEASE contact the site Mods Martin3030 or ScarletPimpernel in confidence & ask that you be directed to me asap

 

Thank you I will be in touch tommorrow, sorry later today.

 

I have a question for you.

 

I am now on a database of dishonest people even though I did not steal anything, I exchanged a faulty boiler for a new one. At the time of the assault by the security guards B&Q had in their possession my faulty boiler(inside the store at the returns counter). They wrestled the replacement boiler off me and for good measure they also had my £500. I am not dishonest the police took no action against me. However, B&Q have claimed I am dishonest in the full knowledge that the incident was investigated by the Police and they reached the conclusion that there was no dishonesty on my part. It is possible that B&Q have over stepped the mark and created a false instrument?

 

For the purposes of offences involving false instruments the word 'instrument' is defined as :

 

section (d) any disc, tape, sound track or other device on or in which imformation is recorded or stored by mechanical , electronic or other means. A database record in a computers electronic memory meets this definition of an instrumnent.

 

A deliberate false entry on a database stating that someone is dishonest in the full knowledge that a Police investigation states that they are not meets the definition of making a false instrument?

Hi Cjaynap,

 

Did you sign any paperwork whilst you were there? It seems from reading other posts that this is how RLP get your 'permission' to process your data, you agree to it when you sign the form. If you didn't then you didn't agree to anything.

Often the detained person will sign the forms under duress,and are under the impression that it is a legal requirement because the process is not explained to them.

I was asked to sign a document agreeing to be banned from every B&Q store in the UK I refused. I was never asked to sign any document from RLP.

No they did not obtain my permission. I specifically asked the security guard to leave the room whilst I was been interviewed by the police but he refused.

The police officer boobed big time. He should have demanded that the security guard leave the room as soon as you requested he do so

 

The guard was a witness & should never have been allowed to be present during interview. Either we ain't training coppers properly or this one was an idiot

 

Methinks the copper or coppers may be worth interviewing. It used to cost £60 & took place under the watchful eye of a senior officer. If now't else the word will spread that they better act within the rules or face civil action
