    • 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!

    • Hmm, that's strange how they got my email then.  I assume the below is ok to send to DCBL, Nicky?  Hello, I am writing regarding our ongoing dispute and the upcoming court claim reference xxxxxxxx.

    • 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.

Following my foot procedure, I bought a session of reflexology treatment to help with post-operative recovery, in October 2020.  I made the booking on 6th December with MD Therapies, to have treatment on 22nd December 2020.  Around 20th December global lockdown was introduced and MD Therapies has not been able to open/operate until 12th April 2021.  My appointment was rebooked for 19th April 2021, was cancelled by MD Therapies as the voucher expired end of February 2021 and have advised that I ask Time Out for a refund. I have emailed Time Out asking for the voucher to be extended or that I have a refund on 21st April.  On 23rd April I received a response from Time Out advising me that they would contact MD Therapies asking for an extension at the merchant's discretion as April's booked appointment is outside the terms and conditions of the offer.  On 4th May, advised that no response has been received from MD Therapies.  Feel as though I have been given the proverbial "merry-go-round", as other establishments that I had other treatments booked have honoured their bookings.  What are my rights in this situation?

 

Kind regards

What is the value of the voucher?

 

Also, it's very difficult to read your solid block of text on a small screen such as a telephone. Please can you make sure that you space and punctuate your posts properly so that they are presented in a way which is accessible to everybody.

That will encourage more people to come along and be more enthusiastic about giving you the help that you need.

Also, what is the actual name of this outfit and do they have a website or Facebook page?

Well maybe you could post a link to the Facebook page.

I think your position is that the contract was frustrated and therefore the voucher is still valid.

I think that M D Massage Therapies are in breach of contract and I think it would be very easy to get the money back from them – and if you issued a claim, I can't imagine they would be stupid enough to force it into court.

What would you like to do?

The voucher can only be and was, redeemed with MD Massage Therapies within the timeframe stipulated however, was not able to have the treatment/session as another lockedown was imposed in December 2020 and MD therapies was not able to reopen until April 2021, by which time the voucher had expired (Feb 2021).  Not sure what to do as other salons that I had booked services with, honoured their vouchers.

OK.  I suppose the problem is with MD then.  I'm just not sure if the fact that you bought the voucher from Timeout (is that right?) rather than MD makes a difference.  Bank Fodder will know better than me.

 

FWIW, I agree that you ought to be able to get some kind of extension and not lose the value of the money you've already paid.

 

Slightly different scenario, but I had a Marks & Sparks gift card that was due to expire during the lockdown that recently ended.  I wasn't going to use it to buy food, I wasn't going to use it online, and there was nothing else in the store during lockdown that I would have considered buying.  Before it expired I emailed M&S customer services and asked them to extend it into the post lockdown period as a gesture of goodwill.  They pretty much refused point blank saying it would be unfair on other gift card holders and that I'd had plenty of opportunity (two years?) to use it.  This despite me pointing out it was unfair on me - and the person who gave me the card - if it couldn't be redeemed to the value of £20 they (M&S) had already pocketed.

 

I was quite disappointed by that response and it reinforced the view I had already formed that M&S is no longer even a shadow of its former self.

 

However, it worked out OK as I went into my local M&S branch and asked staff on the tills if they could extend it.  The first member of staff I spoke to said they couldn't help me but I spoke to another one in the food hall and I got the food manager to put another two years on it.  So a result for me but I've still got to find something in M&S I want to buy.  It's years since I've seen anything in there I want to buy - hence the expired card.

Hi Manxman in exile and Bankfodder,

 

Good news!!  I've received a full refund from Time Out.  On Monday I emailed Time Out customer service department again, requesting a full refund.  I also advised Time Out that I would be seeking legal advice re my rights regarding the issue. To my surprise,  a refund confirmation was sent within the hour and the monies was in my bank account within 2 days.

 

I would like to thank the both of you for your help and advice,

 

Kind regards
