    • Yeah I figured, unlikely I'll need credit anyway mortgage all paid off etc so I'll take that on the chin and learn from the experience. Probably would've beaten that too had I remembered the protocol, first time ever going through the process though sob it wasn't familiar to me  Oh well  
    • This is my slightly amended WS taking on board your previous comments, any suggestions for amendments would be most appreciated.  Thank you for you time.   1.        I am the Defendant in this matter. 2.        The facts in this statement come from my personal knowledge. 3.        I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020. 4.        The alleged Letter of Claim dated 7 January 2020 was served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018, no effort was made to ascertain my correct address. 5.        The Judgement debt was not familiar to me so I began investigations to ascertain what the debt related to and how such a figure had been equated in any event. 6.        I made immediate contact with the Court, the Claimant Solicitors and the Claimants thereafter, asking them to provide me with a copy of the original loan agreement but this was not provided to me.  7.        I sent a Data Subject access Request to Barclays but no agreement was provided – See appendix 1 which details the timeline of communication between myself and Barclaycard as well as copies of correspondence between us. 8.        I do not admit to entering an agreement with Barclaycard in 2000. 9.       The claimant has failed to comply with the additional directions ordered by District Judge Davis and therefore this claim should be automatically struck out.  10.    The claimants have failed to disclose a true executed copy of the original agreement they refer to within the particulars of this claim. They are not entitled to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 12.   The reconstituted standard Barclaycard agreement that the claimant has included in the court bundle does not satisfy any CCA request and so the claimant is and remains in default of my CCA request and therefore unable to enforce the alleged agreement. 13.  The claimants have failed to provide proof the assignment, such as a deed of assignment. 14.  The claimant has failed to provide a statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement 15.   Despite numerous requests to the claimant, I have still not seen any evidence, such as an original agreement or deed of assignment, that substantiates the claimant’s assertion that I owe the debt to the claimant, nor evidence of how the debt was accrued. 16.   As per CPR 1.4(2)(a) the court encourages parties to cooperate with each other in the conduct of proceedings in order to try and save time and costs for the parties and to also save the time and resources of the court however, despite vast attempts at mediation the claimants have been most unreasonable and have remained unwilling to mediate. I believe that the facts stated in this Witness Statement are true.  I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in its truth.
    • A set aside application costs £275 which is more than the judgement so not worth it. Not that they would grant a set aside anyway.  Set asides are granted, for example, to people who moved and didn't get the court papers, so have a genuine reason for not defending.  Forgetting doesn't count. Your only choices are to pay up within 30 days, or defy the court and not pay.  If the latter, we've never seen a PPC enforce judgement for a single ticket, ever, you would get away without paying - but you would have a CCJ and a knackered credit file for six years.

    • 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.

The 23/24th sounds a bit too late to post the material to the court and EVRi. I'd like to get them sent ideally by the 20th.

 

My original claims form contains a detailed chronology of the case, so I was thinking of just sending this along with a detailed appendix of all my supporting evidence i.e. photos, screenshots and correspondences. I'm not sure there's much else I can include apart from a witness statement from my partner?

It's completely up to you of course, but you should heed our experience .

 

You come to us for help and we are acting in your best interest .

 

I think you should wait until the Monday and then you send the bundle off by special next day delivery .

It will cost you a few quid but it will be the best thing to do .

Sending it on the 20th is far too early and I'm afraid I won't be able to be fully involved.

 

You've had the order of the court since mid-March and you waited until now to come to us. If you had come to us when you first received the order then we wouldn't be rushing around to do everything at the last minute .

It hasn't been helpful .

 

Wait until the Monday and then send it all off and it will be done properly and it will give you your best chance of success.

Ok, lets go for the Friday the 22nd. I'm just not confident that next day delivery on the Monday would get it to both parties before 4pm on the Tuesday.

 

Thanks for your continued support

I'm completely confident that next day special delivery, If you can get it into the post office before midday on Monday will arrive on the Tuesday morning .

No problem at all .

I'm afraid that I won't be able to complete a rewrite of your witness statement before the weekend .

It needs a substantial rewrite.

I'd quite like a response please .

 

Are you preferred to wait until the Monday and use a rewrite or are you going to go ahead and use your own version?

Hi, I was just checking the Post Offices guaranteed next day delivery service. Seems it's possible.

 

I'm happy to wait until the Monday before sending if you're able to help with the rewrite? It would be good to make a start sooner, so I feel confidence about completing it by the Monday.

 

Thanks

Yes. It was not at all surprising though .

I don't think that EVRi could win the case anyway.

Exactly the same with you. I think that your case is unlosable by you.

 

 

However, I'd like to know whether you are prepared to wait until Monday so that I can plan my time, please.

Please will you start preparing a spreadsheet of your litigant in person costs .

 

This means a spreadsheet list of the work you have done preparing for this case including research and drafting documents.

 

You won't need to submit this next week .

this is something that you will present to the court at trial but you need to be prepared and you need to start keeping a running total .

Keep it reasonable and justifiable. This is not a money grab

Final update having recently agreed a settlement with EVRi (Ervi).

 

It's been nearly six months since I last posted an update regarding my claim against EVRi. The reason being that for most of that nothing happened. I didn't hear from the court for ages after submitting the witness statement that BankFodder kindly helped me with.

 

Having read that the County Courts had up to a twelve month backlog, I'd resigned myself to the fact that I might not hear anything until 2023. But a few weeks back I received a letter from the court confirming a date for the hearing and giving me a deadline for paying the court fees.

 

I contacted EVRi to ask if they were interested in trying to settle prior to it getting to court, whilst making it clear that I was very much prepared to go to court if needs be. I heard nothing back initially but was then contacted by a solicitors acting on behalf of EVRi.

 

Within a few days I had had a call with the Solicitors and a settlement had been agreed based upon my original claim - it was honoured in full. Once I received the funds, I then informed the court to cancel the claim.

 

So after nearly a year and a not-insignificant amount of effort, closure has been achieved for the items damaged in transit with EVRi. It's a shame that their own complaints procedure and that of Packlink's are so woefully inadequate that if forces customers to seek compensation via alternative legal routes.  


I have just made a donation to Consumer Action Group as a thanks for all the help and support offered, especially by BankFodder. Keep up the good work guys as the service you provide is invaluable and I would encourage others to show there appreciated through donations😃

  • dx100uk changed the title to Court Claim Against EVRi - Damaged and unusable. **SETTLED BEFORE HEARING**

Well done on your settlement and thanks very much indeed for letting us know.

It would be helpful if you could remind us of how much you are claiming and how much you settled for.

 

When you say that you were contacted by solicitors was this an independent firm of solicitors or was it their internal riffraff?

Thanks also for the donation. There is a very tough at the moment and I suppose it's all about the cost of living crisis that I am emailing you separately.

The settlement was for the full amount I had specified in the original Money Claim. This was just under £300, which was the full costs I incurred due to the damaged items and their postage.

 

During the earlier period of my claim, it was EVRi internal Solicitors who responded to the claim denying responsibility. However, it was an independent Solicitors firm who contacted me when I reached out to EVRi asking if they would consider trying to resolve prior to me paying the court fees. This second set of Solicitors were actually very courteous and professional and negotiated the settlement quickly and efficiently.

 

Hope that helps.
