    • My mind is a blur so i cant recall exactly what the judge said at the end, but he mentioned that he would be making an order for Evri to make payment to me. I wasn't sure if the court order will also be provided to me, either by post or email - if anyone can shed some light please?
    • Agree with everyone here it's bang to rights. Looks like you just slightly jinked left in order to go right. Ultimately, your time saving attempt is going to cost you as I don't think you have any grounds to appeal. I'd just pay the charge and chalk it up to experience.
    • Thank you everyone!  thought to share some points from my experience in court today that may help others who are taking Evri to court: The judge sets out how the hearing will go and how each party should behave; while i was certainly feeling anxious/nervous ahead of the hearing (and I'm sure @jk2054 may have also observed this), the judge really does try to put any non-legal persons at ease; refrain from talking to the other party and instead speak to the judge if you have any questions/responses; the judge and the advocate spoke about tort of negligence - i wasn't sure how this applied to my case but the judge was questionning the advocate about this so i chose to stay out of this; the judge made reference to a historical case of Donaghue v Stevenson which established a duty of care; the judge observed that some of the points in Evri's witness statement by george wood needed cross examination but george was not present today for questionning; While i was claiming 8% interest, the judge pointed out that is the upper limit and that today, savings accounts give 4-5%. I therefore opted for 5% interest which was agreed to by the judge and the advocate; above all else, ensure you know your court bundle and have any notes to help you refer to specific sections - it helped me to structure my answers to the judge/defendant's queries, and point to specific evidence where i was asked to prove e.g., the value of the item. @honeybee13 - yes, will confirm when payment is received. I have emailed the Evri.claims email with my bank details and also provided them after the hearing to the advocate. @BankFodder message received and i am replying to it
    • Looks promising then.  Well done   Dx
    • So a little update.  I sent a complaint to ico and have heard nothing. I just got the general reply email and that's it.  Sat twiddling my thumbs and thought about what I should do next. I searched for the CEO of Studio but then found that he'd left so as keep getting letters from studio about the arrears etc. I thought I'd email the David Twigg. Sent him all the bumpft and a copy of my original complaint and sars request.  Got no response. So didn't know what else to do. Then I thought I'd try through the financial difficulties option on the online form. One last try before I just give up and let them default me.  Then on the 5th June. I got an email from their customer services. That the items that had gone AWOL have all been cancelled. Nothing else on that email, so I had a look in an email account that I don't use anymore and there was an email from the customer service.  That they were sorry for the problems I've had for the last 9 months. That the sars info was emailed to me on 14/04, it wasn't I've kept all spam and deleted emails on that account, they have raised a complaint with their studio pay team regarding the issues, balance dispute, fee's and my credit file. They are hoping to resolve in 3 days but they have upto 56. They also said in regards to my other issues I have to raise a complaint with studio retail but haven't told me how I do that.  The sars info only goes upto the end of December 2023. It has my previous complaints on there but nothing after so I don't know how I get hold of that information. Luckily I've kept copies of every time I've contacted them. Every web chat or social media contact.  Apologies for the extremely long post but I wanted to add everything I could just incase.  I have checked my account balance and it's still minus 900 odd pounds but I'll keep checking to see if it's all cleared and on my credit file.  I'm hoping this is the end of the whole debacle and they close my account because I never want to do this again. Although it's been a learning experience.  Thanks to dx100uk for pointing me in the right direction. Much appreciated.

    • 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 deadline for them to reply to the SAR is 13 November.  The deadline to reply to the Letter Before Claim is ... 13 November.

 

They won't take you to court the very first day after the deadline.  You might as well hold on and see if there is a reply to the SAR.

 

Come back here when they reply to the SAR, or if they don't on 10 November, and we can draw up an appropriate snotty letter.

We could do with some help from you.

Parallel Parking seem to be a small company.  Yours is the only thread we have on them.

 

Good news!  This wasn't an ANPR capture.  Some  creep has spied on your car.  So they haven't respected the POFA timescales with their PCN.

 

Also, what the heil does "unauthorised parking" mean?  It could be anything.

 

Did you find a ticket affixed to the windscreen?

Dear Gladstones

Ref: Your Client - Parallel Parking Ltd - Reg. No. *****

Clearly & most definitely you are not the best solicitors in Britain. However, as comedians go, you are pretty good.. Your letter certainly gave me & others a good laugh out loud,, which as we know is a positive for general health. .

Have you read the new Code of Practice?  The £70 you have added for "time and resources spent" [yeah right ] has been described in the Regulations as a "rip off".     Your avarice truly exceeds your legal knowledge by miles. 

May I suggest you consult with a competent solicitor, so you are able to understand the content of this letter. 

With Sympathy 

My intended letter to Parallel - I'm glad to have made this forum aware of this company, as I'm sure I am not the only one to have been contacted by them. 

Any tweaks / amendments will be very welcomed.  Thank you.

Firstly, my empathy on your instructing Gladstones Solicitors.  

Clearly & most definitely they are not the best solicitors in Britain. However, as comedians go, they are pretty good. Your letters & Gladstones  certainly gave me & others a good laugh out loud, which as we know is a positive for general health.

You nor Gladstones have evidently not read the new Code of Practice?   To your alleged “Unauthorised Parking Charge” of £100, they are trying to add a further £70 for "time and resources spent" [yeah right ], which has been described in the Regulations as a "rip off".     

Your’s & Gladstones avarice truly exceeds your legal knowledge by miles.

 May I suggest you consult with a competent solicitor, so you are able to understand the content of this letter. 

With Sympathy

OK, how about this -

 

 

Dear Will & John,

 

cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in mirth at the idea you actually thought I'd take such tripe seriously and cough up!

 

Now you know and I know and now you know that I know the million reasons why your country bumpkin client's invoice is total pants.  It's no surprise that following simple legal instructions is a tad too difficult in the hamlets of Shropshire .

 

On top of that the greedy retards have invented £70 Unicorn Food Tax and you've been telling porkies about solicitors' fees again.  Letter to the SAR in the post!

 

Your client can either see sense or I will look forward to thrashing them in court, obtaining an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g) and spending it on a nice foreign holiday while laughing at your client's expense. 

 

I look forward to your defeating silence.

@GickGick is spot on!  Sorry about the typo.  SRA is right.

 

@TheCat08I was going to post to compliment you on the level of your snottiness!  However, send either your letter or mine or a mixture.  The important thing is that the fleecers know you would be big trouble for them in court, and are therefore more likely to leave you in peace and instead go after some mug who will be scared and who will just cough up.  No need to write two versions for Gladdys and PP, just address it to Gladdys (which is why I wrote "Dear Will and John", these being the two spivs who run the company) and send a copy to PP.  

 

The bit about the SRA is because Gladstones regularly lie about solicitors' costs.  For a £170 claim they are allowed to include £50, but have put £80 to try to scare you.  If you have time on your hands then really do complain to the SRA.  They're an old boys' network and will do nothing, but it will annoy Will & John and will reinforce their picture of you as a complete pain in the backside who is best left alone.

That is superb - well done.

 

Just one change.  Add a bit to the sentence

 

The invention of this Unicorn Food Tax just shows you’re not adverse to telling real porkies in attempts to scaremonger. 

 

instead

 

The invention of this Unicorn Food Tax plus inflating solicitors' costs just shows you’re not adverse to telling real porkies in attempts to scaremonger

 

That's because Parallel Parking added the £70 Unicorn Food Tax and then it is Gladdys lying about solicitors' costs.

 

Also at the end it should be "deafening silence" - my typo above.

We could do with some help from you.
