    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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 

 

I was wondering if someone can help me out or offer some advice on a parcel that i sent through parcel2go.

 

when i received the parcel it was damaged and the contents of the parcels were damagged, it was laptop that was damaged.

 

i had paid extra for the insurance and this was actually offered by parcel2go.

 

i made a claim and first of all they rejected the claim on the following -  I am really sorry that your parcel was damaged Zishan, however the claim was rejected as this falls under a no protection item:

 

Glass Items Of Any Type - Including Glassware, Crystal, Bulbs, Screens, Fiberglass, Fish Tanks, Mirrors, Spectacles, Windows, Perspex. I do apologise for that, however we have submitted a refund for your carriage costs on this.

 

then i pointed out the item isnt any of those and i was told  -  This falls under Electrical Appliances - Such As Cameras, Monitors, Computers, Drones, Tvs Or Items Related To.

This item can only be covered for loss, not damage Zishan. You are asked to check and confirm your item on the list before booking.

 

when i got the quote for the item i sent, i clearly put the contents of the parcel as  a laptop, i was given a price for the parcel and then offered insurance to protect the parcel against loss and damaged etcz, which i took out.

 

nowhere was it made clear laptops arent covered for  damaged.

also i have screenshots where it clearly says all parcels are protected against loss and damage.

 

I feel i was misled an misinformed and i have now lost out on £500 of my laptop.

 

is there anything i can do

 

many thanks

Who's the courier?

I understand that the laptop was properly declared and its value was properly declared – is this correct?

What kind of damage did it suffer?

Presumably you have kept the packaging and you have photographs of everything.

I understand that the damage is more than the screen. The actual lid – the plastic lid is bent – is that correct?

Please could you post up an image of the damage laptop and also of the packaging in PDF format.

Start reading around the Hermes stories on this sub- forum. The stories generally speaking the same whoever you are suing.

 

When you understand how the process works and also you have read up about the steps involved taking a small claim in the County Court, come back here and we will take you through the next step which may well be a letter of claim giving them 14 days and then you will bring a legal action.

I'm assuming that you are happy to take this step

Thank you. The important thing here is that even if it was reasonable to disclaim any liability for class because of its fragility, it is clear that the laptop case – in particular the lid has been very badly deformed by some impact.
One could argue that the screen was replaceable and that anyway UPS might be protected because clearly glass is fragile, the entire laptop lid is probably not replaceable – not economically – and the fact that it contained glass has not contributed to the damage.

Do the reading that I suggested – and come back here when you are comfortable with the principles and we will go to the next step.

I would expect that you would be sending a letter of claim on Monday

As I said, you should do the reading 1st to make sure that you understand the various principles, the arguments – and what will happen at mediation if it goes to mediation.

Make sure that you are familiar with it all and then draft a letter of claim and will have a look over the weekend.

There's no rush. The letter of claim can be sent out on Monday morning so the most important thing is to make sure that you are thorough and prepared

Don't worry about dyslexia. Draft the letter in the best way that you can and then we will sort it out

Do the reading and you will soon find examples of how it should go
