    • Thank you. You contacted directly with the parcel broker so your best option is to proceed directly against them for breach of contract. I hope you have read enough to understand that you will not be able to rely on the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Do you understand why? Have Parcel to Go giving you a reason for declining reimbursement? Do you have anything in writing from your customer which shows that they did not refuse delivery and which identifies the actual circumstances of the situation?

    • Perhaps you would care to read this and reflect on your continuing comparison of Israel to Nazi Germany Jugg    ALEX BRUMMER: How grotesque of pro-Palestine protesters to besmirch Auschwitz, the place where my grandparents died WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK As the son of a refugee from the horrors of the Holocaust, I can feel nothing but contempt for the ignorance, gross... My elderly aunt Sussie and cousin Sheindy had been teenagers at Auschwitz and Belsen but survived and are alive to this day. What they will make of the protesters who waved flags, heckled and chanted as Israelis took part in the March Of The Living – the annual walk from Auschwitz to Birkenau – I cannot imagine. The images now circulating of the protesters are indescribably disturbing. They can only bring back memories of those final moments Sheindy shared with my grandparents when my grandmother Fanya squeezed her hand and told her to lie about her age to avoid the gas chambers. Claiming she was older, and could work, meant that Sheindy lived, not died. The outrage perpetrated by Hamas on October 7 has brought back the most terrifying memories for these two women – memories of pillage, mutilation and starvation. The Holocaust, or Shoah to use the Hebrew word, was the deliberate, industrial-scale killing of Jews.  It is bad enough that pro-Palestinian and pro-Hamas sympathisers have chosen to steal the language of the Holocaust.  Any comparison between Israel's retaliation and the monstrous genocide of the 1940s is odious and anti-Semitic
    • Thank you JK2054 and BankFodder for your replies. The information requested is as follows:   My wife and I are sole traders supplying bespoke, handmade wedding trays and other items through our website. We do not sell on ebay. We had an order for two trays (invoice value £370) that were shipped on Monday 25th March. We used P2G as the broker and Evri as the shipper. We declared the value but did not take out insurance. As the trays were a present for a wedding on Saturday 30th March we checked the progress of delivery on the Thursday to see that there had been an attempt to deliver on the 27th but the driver failed to deliver as the customer’s gate was shut (customer informs us that the gates are open between 7am-7pm. We contacted the customer who informed us she had been waiting in all week and there had been no attempt of a delivery. Evri allege they attempted to deliver on the 28th & 29th. On the P2G web site on the 4th April at 14.17 it stated that the customer refused delivery. At 14.28 it updated to say there was a problem with the address and at 14.32 updated to say the customer had refused delivery. At 14.35 updated again to say it was being returned. Last entry was on the 7th April that it was being processed at the depot. We never received it. I have had six web chats with P2G between the 4th-30th April. On the 26th April, I had an offer of £20 plus cost of delivery (£6.72) from P2G which I rejected. During this time, I also contacted Evri that resulted in an email from Evri Customer Services (20th April) stating that they had lost the parcel. I replied requesting details of the attempted delivery but received no reply. After emailing Evri again on the 23rd asking again for the information I received a phone call from someone called Haleemah on the 25th who apologised and promised to send an email with a link to submit a claim form. I subsequently received an email with the link which only took me to a page that stated “Page not found”. After informing Evri customer services of the problem (to which no reply was forthcoming) a couple of days later I retried the link but it only took me to the Evri website. I believe that I have a good case against both companies but would appreciate guidance on which path to go down. I have read most of the information on this site, which has been very helpful and much appreciated, particularly the various court transcripts. I appreciate that this process is a marathon and not a sprint and am fully aware that I need to get everything in the correct order before starting on the legal road. I am sure this covers the current position but if further info is needed please let me know.  
    • Everything at small claims revolves around informality and common sense, there are no "special" ways to have to do things. The site manager's WS will be like yours and the one I linked to - just much shorter.  There need to be the introductory hearings about the case, the parties, etc., and the concluding Statement of Truth. In the middle just a couple of paragraphs where they say who they are, how they know you, and about permission being given by the landowner to use the car park. Superb.  I've added another section about the signage to the suggested WS sections three posts above. Yes, it's perfectly possible.  It'd be a good idea to phone the court on the 18th to see if they have paid.

    • 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 APOLIGISE FOR THE LENGTH OF THIS IN ADVANCE:-x

I have registered my claim against the bank they had until the 7th December to reply. I called the court at 4.30 on the 7th and they had not entered a defence. So pleased was I I skipped along to the court the next day to request a judgement only to be told that they had entered a defence by fax the night before close of business grrrrrrrrrrr.

I think the guy felt sorry for me as he gave me a copy of the defence and the allocation questionnaire there and then, although he told me it would be posted out.

I am now panicking because I feel it is getting really scary. They are asking about expert witnesses etc what do I put , HELP

I think I have to pay another £100.00 grrrrrrrr again to register my defence is that true? .

The final problem is I have to get this to court (completed by Monday) at the latest Tuesday as I am on holiday from the 13th December until the 3rd January, and will be out of the country.

 

Problems


  1. I don’t know what to write in my defence, to what they have written.
     
  2. I am scared I may miss the timescales etc whilst I am away (hence trying to get It sorted and filed prior to the 13th).
     
  3. Should I ask the bank for a breakdown of their charges now?
     
  4. Have given the bank and the court a detailed breakdown of what I am claiming should I send it on the Debbie De whats her face I have seen on another thread in HSBC.

The defence is below can someone please help.

CLAIM NUMBER 6WA02693

 

CALCONNOR

 

AND

 

HSBC

 

 

DEFENCE

 

 


  1. The Claimants accounts are governed by the Defendants personal and / or business banking terms and conditions.
     
     
  2. Pursuant to the Defendants terms and conditions the defendant is entitled to make a charge for its charges s set out in the defendants price list.
     
     
  3. It is denied that the fees charged for the services provided amount to a penalty or (if it is alleged) a liquidated damages clause. It is denied the fees are an unfair contract term. The fees are an agreed price for a service agreed by the defendant.

 

Statement of truth

 

The defendant believes the matters set out in this defence to be true

calconner - relax, have a cup of tea, take a deep breathe. you are here among friends.

i'll look more closely at this but this is all perfectly normal behaviour for hsbc.

usually, you would have had a request from debbie at dg for your breakdown - although not necessarily. look at loeby's thread just above or below you.

the 28 days is over - they file it's almost automatic.

look for the deadline on the aq, that is now the timeframe

i'd send debs a copy of your breakdown today - if poss. with a little note along these lines: - i'm suprised not to have heard from you by now - please find attached my breakdown of charges, i'm sure you don't want to incur further charges by me filing my aq, i await your reply. "

be sure your claim no. is on this note along with your breakdown.

as for the a q:

(it's £100 if your claim is over 1500 and you add it to your claim when you pay - but don't do it now - wait until the deadline is almost on you). send breakdown to dg today, if poss, recorded.

thank you both for replying I have seen debbies email address somewhere I will forward it to her. I ahve yet to receive my allocation questio naire from the court itself but there is no reason why I cannot file it on Monday by using the online copy etc is there.?

i believe you cannot file the aq on line. included with the defense and the aq will probably be a change of venue to your local court (were any actual court dealings to happen - this is now where they would happen - they won't)

my theory is, why spend the extra dosh? the deadline you will be working towards is the one on the aq from the court - it's their deadline and yours - and we all know how dg likes to play up to the deadline. it's just more money you will want back from them - i say wait until it's almost the last minute before you file your aq, and

i've read you thread more carefully and i see you are leaving town on the 13th, so, think i'd try to find a fax machine and fax the breakdown today as well as send it, then monday morning a.m. ring dg., explain that as you are going to be out of town (don't give details), you will be needing to file your aq immediately and ask if they wanted to consider settling before you file. if they were so moved - they could fax you the offer, you could fax it back and they could put money into your account within a very short time period - i'd say it's worth a shot - but your breakdown would have to be there - thus the fax today or tomorrow and the early call on monday. ok?

ok, i see her name on the letter you copies (note she can't spell executive) Think it will be: Kate D. Eaves.

send it to her if you like but we do have deb's details. don't think it would matter -but whoever you send it to, ask for them on the phone on monday. if you are sending it fax today - mark to the attention of xxxxx

cheers for this i am spending my time today in writing something good to her that lets her know i mean what i say, and do you think I should say she has until close of business on the 12th to respond with a full offer as i will be filing in (court) as i will be out of the country until after the new year.

I will give her m e mail address, so if she wants to emal me a copy of a full offer for her to have me sign and fax back whilst I am away. Other than that I will not be entering into any further dialogue with her or anyone else from HSBC., or is that a bit too cocky?

sorry lateralus to turn into your pesonal stalker, but what about this sent via email, I have the charges on a spread sheet too so i can send them togther##

I am writing to respectfully request that my claim against HSBC is paid in full, I am aware that you have entered a defence against my claim and it is my intention to enter a full counter defence for which I believe the court will uphold.

 

Furthermore this will add a further £100 to my claim against your company, I am not prepared to acknowledge your defence as having any creditability. I have seen this standard response on the consumer action group website on numerous occasions and feel it is an extremely weak defence that any judge will refuse to entertain, given the OFT’s recent ruling.

 

Moreover it is my intention to request a full disclosure of HSBC’s bank charges policy and breakdown with my defence.

 

I have included a full breakdown of banking charges levied to my account which is inclusive of interest charged up to 7th December 2006, I will also require any additional interest to be added to this claim, which has accrued since the 7th and the date of the refund. Furthermore should I be forced to pursue this matter further I will also be seeking payment for costs for the time I have spent in pursuing this claim.

 

I will be leaving the country on the 13th December until after the New Year, and it is my intention to file my defence prior to close of business on the 12th December if I have not received an offer of a full settlement from your company.

cc66,

letter looks ok to me. i seem to have a little bell ringing in my head (probably that woodpecker...ouch) but i think i've heard it said the courts look on faxing as ok means of communication but frown on e-mail. sooo,

i would do both - they can't possibly miss that - and put in your contact details: phone, fax no. and e-mail address.

just to make sure - you could pm bong and ask her advice but i think you are doing all you can to make it go away by tuesday.

just to be on the safe side - i'd read that thread mo3b put above - so you know how to submit your aq if you have no luck with this little move.

sorry to sound think again

but how do i PM bong

and also

I ahve not registered my stuff with MCOL I just took it into the court myself as I work opposite warrington courts it was easier do I still have to do something on this site too, as i want to do everything right and i will definatly donate when i get my money as this site has been sooooo fab espcially yourself.

top of this or any page - right side, welcome calconnor66

click private messages, then down the left side - send a private message

put bong in the address box

then ask away, could just ask her to read your thread, it's easier.

she will pop along as soon as she can.

she gives very sound advice.

 

if you put your claim number on the stuff to the court - i would think it should have gone the right direction.

what i was saying earlier - about the fax and the e-mail - if it ever went to court and you needed to show what you had done - you could show the fax (as the e-mail is a duplicate, i don't think it would be frowned on).

hiya, yes add in the last bit about how they can reach you by email and fax. Hope its not too late if you've already sent it. I also like the last para you put in the PM which isn't showing above.

thanks for looking this over funny enough i did alter the last bit, before I sent it. It has been sent to their solicitors and not the courts I hope it does the trick and they relaise I really do mean busine:-o ss.

I also sent off a really terse letter via email to colin langdale and John bond to re request my SAR as I want to see what they have entered against me. ( apparntly john bond is the director Colin L is the snot who thinks he is too good to talk to anyone {the David Guest of the banking world maybe he does dishes though} ). Anyway I got a failure message on my computer saying message could not be delivered beacuse their names are not on the domino system, so basically it is preventig anyone contacting them from the genral public, have you ever heard of that?

no I haven't but I also noticed that Colin's letters don't have a telephone number on them. Quite unusual, I wonder if it was changed when all these claims went in?!

Share on other sites

probably did, fed up with stalkers like me!

Itried to get through to him loads of times and was not entertained at all, he just got a lacky to see to me instead , who give me some old flannel. Hsbc dont even let you phone your bank direct, let alone talk to their managers of cutomer services what a laugh.

I am thinking of claiming under diminaution of futute prospects afer this, but I will take advice before I do and also need to see their records on manual inytervention on my file.

The thing that drives me is my credit history is now shot to pices and none of this would have happend if the bank did not charge me exorbitant amaounts which concluded in their being no money left in my account to pay my DD.

what do you think?

have they defaulted you because of debt due to the charges? you could/should ask for defaults to be removed as a condition of settlement if so.

Share on other sites

Yes I would have had them registered as a resilt of them taking the money from my account that is why i want a seperate claim, as I have been ntold I can only get the rest of these removed with a caourt orrder and in for a penny.

I asked for them to be removed ages ago, when i first asked for my charges back and as they have not sent me the info I still do not know what the script with my credit file.

That was the reason I sent an e mail to colin langdale et al tonight basically saying sort it or I will complain to the ICO, and reminding them :razz: that RBS has just be fined heaviliy for the same thing. and their service is rubbish.

I haven't done it myself CC but I would have thought the time to do it is now. you don't want the extra hassle of starting up another court claim just for this, if you can get it included in your out of court settlement. Isnt there a way you can search your credit file by or on Monday?

I have looked at my file about 2 months ago and there was nothing on it from then, but they ahve since took my cards off me and me checquwe books too so I am not sure i will try to get it.

As part of my claim I used the DPA and and stated that they had breached three of the 8 principals in applying these unlawful cahrges so I may have to wait and see.

Dont know if I will get my day in court I doubt it, but part of me really wants to go to court, I spend half my time in courts because of my job,( I am not a lawyer though) I may get lucky and get one who knows me ( yeah i know in my dreams).cal
