    • I see they're trying to round up asylum seekers and lock them up for about three months so they can be put on planes to Rwanda. I'm a bit surprised that this is legal.  
    • thought for the day "Prime ministers need a big strategy that tells you where you’re going, you need a bunch of tactics that get you there, and you need the ability to take everybody else with you."   Now I know you are all thinking 'why is the  UKs destination Rwanda ???
    • Asset Link filed for a default CCJ against me, in relation to an old Barclaycard debt which I apparently signed an agreement for back in 2000.   I did not own a Barclaycard in 2000 so I know this is not true.  The CCJ notice was sent to an old address so I did not receive it.  Years later when I found out about the CCJ when I applied for credit, I put an application in to have the CCJ set aside.   As part of the set aside case, I was asked by the judge to provide a draft defence, should the CCJ be set aside.   The defence I provided was that I did not admit to the debt as I had not been provided with any evidence of an original loan agreement.   I won the case and the CCJ was set aside.   Link then filed to court again to make me pay the debt.   We both filed directions questionnaires and the judge allocated the claim to the small claims track.   As part of the directions, additional directions given were as follows ' Additional Directions in a claim for an Assigned Debt - Because the claim is in respect of an assigned debt the Court makes the following directions for the management of claim.  The claim shall be automatically struck out at 4pm on 3 April 2024 unless, before that time, the Claimant delivers to the Court and to the Defendant the following documents'  It then listed various documents such as an original agreement, deed of assignment, notice of default, statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement etc.     The Claimant failed to provide these documents within the deadline provided and instead I received a copy of a bundle of documents provided by them in preparation for the court date, this was received weeks after the deadline.    I have called the Court to ask if it has been automatically struck out and they advised that it is not automatic and that I should still send my witness statement by the deadline provided, which is Wednesday.  This does not give me much time to prepare my witness statement.   I have never done anything like this before and I am unclear what my witness statement should include.  My thoughts were that I should keep it simple and stick to the facts, like the fact thy have not provided evidence of the original agreement, or the deed of assignment of the debt.   They have provided a copy of a default notice from Baclaycard dated 2015, this states a figure of £550 but the debt they say I owe is £10k.   I am not sure what makes a valid default notice?   I have previously requested proof of the debt from Barclaycard directly and have evidence of emails between us where they have been unable to provide me with the agreement or any documents at all relating to the debt.   Should I include these as an appendix?  Are there any other documents I should include in my bundle?    I have also tried to mediate with the claimants, to save the court costs and time, on a without prejudice basis, but the claimants solicitors refused to mediate.   Should i state this in my witness statement too to show the judge that I have been reasonable and they haven't? Many thanks   Louise
    • Right that's exactly why so many drivers got caught, it had been that way for many years then suddenly changes with no warning
    • The hearing is 25th June, I have downloaded items to different organisations previously but they do it a simple way and I just cross out private things with a felt tip and sent to an email address.  I have looked at the instructions for CAG it seems extremely complicated especially this about having to use a system MSPAINT.EXE that removes your personal information. I am hoping one of my Grandchildren understands things to give me help, I have shown one of my daughters she said she does not understand the instructions. I have a PC and I mainly use a lap top, as previously advised I only understand the straightforward things, sending an email and using my scanner to send a document that I save in a file or send it to an email. I will try and find someone to help me, thanks for your help you have given me so far appreciate it

    • 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 sold my MacBook Pro via Shpock recently and sent it with Shpock via Parcel2Go.

 

The parcel arrived today and the buyer received the box I sent the MacBook in with no laptop, just the brown external box and some protective cardboard inside.

 

The buyer has told me when the parcel arrived at her doorstep she noticed there was brown tape on the top of the box, despite me having used clear tape to seal the box, which leads me to believe Hermes has taken the item and resealed the box. 

 

Both me and the buyer are trying to get in touch with Hermes but are having trouble doing so as they only use robots which make it a struggle to speak to a human. 

 

I have got pictures of how the box look when I initially packaged it up, as well as my booking number etc. The buyer has also retained the packaging that she was sent and provided me with photos of how it arrived. Furthermore I have an image of the box at her doorstep with the brown tape evidently on the box.

 

It's quite a big hit so I'd appreciate any advice on what to do next?

 

Thank you!

Please start off by reading up on the Hermes stories on the sub- forum and that will tell you what will happen and how we will direct you.

What was the declared value of the laptop? Was it correctly identified as a laptop?

Okay, start making a complaint to Hermes. Wait for about 10 days or so to see whether they knock you back or they simply ignore you.

After that you can send them a letter of claim and we will help you with that.

In the meantime keep on reading around the Hermes stories – and also start reading up on the steps involve taking a small claim. It's very easy but it is worth knowing what you are doing in advance

Yes it's a waiting game – but if they don't reply after about 10 days then we begin with the letter of claim.

Sometimes they are quite good at responding and knocking you back quite quickly in which case we will send the letter of claim earlier.

Draft a letter of claim and post it up here. Keep it short and simple. Don't tell your life story.

Will have a look at it and tell you if we think it needs modifying.

I've been having a look around, there's not many recent posts about parcel2go but they do seem to cough up some amount of money, but not necessarily the full amount, Hermes seem as if they like to elongate the process but do pay out in full eventually? Im just not 100% who would be the best to pursue so would appreciate any input.

Ahh right thank you, I'm just having a read now, entering "P2G" gets some more recent results. 

 

One thing I've noticed is that parcel2go often chuck out the line about not choosing extra insurance, maybe that won't happen with hermes?

Yes, it is exactly what will happen with Hermes and I'm afraid that your comment shows that you really haven't done your reading.

Please start doing some serious reading of the stories on this sub- forum involving Hermes. You will find that this point comes up again and again and very soon you won't need to ask these kinds of questions.

This forum is about self empowerment and you have to put in your own work to understand the situation. We will support your course. However, the more you understand the more confidence you will be when the claim gets going

immaterial, why should extra ins be even needed?

it's not like the parcel has a big flashing light on it saying treat me special.

delivery drivers couldn't careless

and its only a moneymaking gimmick by these firms just like PPI was.

thank you for both of your inputs, as suggested I've had a closer read of the articles and have decided to pursue parcel2go as they are there ones who I have the contract with.

 

I've raised another official claim with parcel2go, would you suggest waiting for there response now or going ahead with drafting and sending the LOC now?

Link to post

Yes I think you have to send them a formal complaint. I don't think one can simply launch in with a letter of claim – as much as I prefer that aggressive approach myself.

Don't forget that you have perfectly good rights to attack Hermes under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act – but it's up to you

Okay that might take some time.

 

I believe there is a case on this site where an individual sent a LOC to both Hermes and the agent. So what i'll do is send a LOC to Hermes regardless and see if that causes them to cough up anything at all, and if they don't, continue with parcel2go and once the issue is resolved let the other party know the case is over?

Good Afternoon,

 

Parcel2Go have now come back with their official offer of £20 + shipping reimbursement, which of course is not acceptable. From what I've understood I've now got to reject the offer and send off my LOC. Would it be okay for you guys to have a quick look at it before I send it off?  One other thing I have been considering is using a service like Lovetts to send the Letter before action as this maybe more successful, what are your opinions on that process?

 

Thank you!

Don't waste any money on some legal service.

It will make absolutely no difference and simply leave you even more out-of-pocket.

 

Post your letter of claim here and we will have a look.

Here is what I have drafted for the LOC,

 

21st November 2021

 

Letter of claim

 

Parcel reference number – xxxxxxxx– enquiry number X X X

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

I posted a parcel (MacBook Pro 13) on 07/11/21 using your services, opting for Hermes. My parcel has arrived with its contents missing, and the box resealed. This suggests very strongly that my laptop has been stolen while in your care.

 

 

I reported this, under the enquiry number xxxxxx, on 15/11/21. You responded on 20/11/21 with an unsatisfactory offer. 

 

My position is that I have paid for the delivery fee, and it is not for me to insure against the negligence of your courier or criminality of your employees.

 

I am requesting a full reimbursement of the item price with a declared value of £250 and the £5.28 cost of carriage (Total 255.28).

 

If I do not receive a satisfactory response from you within 14 days of this email, I intend to issue proceedings against you in the county court without further notice.

 

Yours sincerely,

xxxxx
