    • You can easily argue your case with no sign on the nearest parking sign
    • Same issue got a fine yesterday for parking in suspended bay which was ending at 6:30 yesterday, next thing I see a fine 15 minutes before it. The sign was obstructed 
    • Hi all, an update on the case as the deadline for filing the WS is tomorrow i.e., 14 days before the hearing date: 7th June. Evri have emailed their WS today to the court and to myself. Attached pdf of their WS - I have redacted personal information and left any redactions/highlights by Evri. In the main: The WS is signed by George Wood. Evri have stated the claim value that I am seeking to recover is £931.79 including £70 court fees, and am putting me to strict proof as to the value of the claim. Evri's have accepted that the parcel is lost but there is no contract between Evri and myself, and that the contract is with myself and Packlink They have provided a copy of the eBay Powered By Packlink Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) to support their argument the contractual relationship is between myself and Packlink, highlighting clause 3a, e, g of these T&Cs. They further highlight clause 14 of the T&Cs which states that Packlink's liability is limited to £25 unless enhanced compensation has been chosen. They have contacted Packlink who informed them that I had been in contact with Packlink and raised a claim with Packlink and the claim had been paid accordingly i.e., £25 in line with the T&Cs and the compensated postage costs of £4.82. They believe this is clear evidence that my contract is with Packlink and should therefore cease the claim against Evri. Evri also cite Clause 23 of the pre-exiting commercial agreement between the Defendant and Packlink, which states:  ‘Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 A person who is not a party to this Agreement shall have no rights under the Contracts (Right of Third Parties) Act 1999 to rely upon or enforce any term of this Agreement provided that this does not affect any right or remedy of the third party which exists or is available apart from that Act.’ This means that the Claimant cannot enforce third party rights under the Contract (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 and instead should cease this claim and raise a dispute with the correct party.   Having read Evri's WS and considered the main points above, I have made these observations: Evri have not seen/read my WS (sent by post and by email) as they would have recognised the claim value is over £1000 as it includes court fees, trial fees, postage costs and interests, and there is a complete breakdown of the different costs and evidence. Evri accepts the parcel is lost after it entered their delivery network - again, this is in my WS and is not an issue in dispute. Evri mentions the £25 and £4.82 paid by Packlink - Again, had they read the WS, they would have realised this is not an issue in dispute. Furthermore to the eBay Powered By Packlink T&Cs that Evri is referring to, Clauses 3b and c of the T&Cs states:  (b)   Packlink is a package dispatch search engine that acts as an intermediary between its Users and Transport Agencies. Through the Website, Users can check the prices that different Transport Agencies offer for shipments and contract with the Transport Agency that best suits their needs on-line. (c)  Each User shall then enter into its own contract with the chosen Transport Agency. Packlink does not have any control over, and disclaims all liability that may arise in contracts between a User and a Transport Agency   This supports the view that once a user (i.e, myself) selects a transport agency (i.e Evri) that best suits the user's needs, the user (i.e, myself) enters into a contract with the chosen transport agency (i.e, myself). Therefore, under the T&Cs, there is a contract between myself and Evri. Evri cites their pre-existing agreement with Packlink and that I cannot enforce 3rd party rights under the 1999 Act. Evri has not provided a copy of this contract, and furthermore, my point above explains that the T&Cs clearly explains I have entered into a contract when i chose Evri to deliver my parcel.  As explained in my WS, i am the non-gratuitous beneficiary as my payment for Evri's delivery service through Packlink is the sole reason for the principal contract coming into existence. Clearly Evri have not read by WS as the above is all clearly explained in there.   I am going to respond to Evri's email by stating that I have already sent my WS to them by post/email and attach the email that sent on the weekend to them containing my WS. However, before i do that, If there is anything additional I should further add to the email, please do let me know. Thanks. Evri Witness Statement Redacted v1 compressed.pdf
    • Thank you. I will get on to the SAR request. I am not sure now who the DCA are - I have a feeling it might be the ACI group but will try to pull back the letter they wrote from her to see and update with that once I have it. She queried it initially with 118 118 when she received the default notice I think. Thanks again - your help and support is much appreciated and I will talk to her about stopping her payments at the weekend.

    • 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 have trawled through the postings to determine if anybody else has had an experience similar to mine, but have yet to find such a person. Please advise, if you can, on my particular scenario with HSBC:

 

Letter received on 21/11/06 from DG Solicitors informing of intention to repay full charges, without prejudice.

 

Letter received on 24/11/06 informing me that my account has been credited with full amount. This was not what I requested in my claim, I specifically requested payment to be made in the form of a personal cheque.

 

A variety of telephone calls to DG Solicitors and HSBC resulted in a personal cheque being issued on Monday 11/12/06, which was paid into my Nat West account on Tuesday 12/12/06.

 

Friday 15/12/06, I received a letter from County Court, advising that the time for my defendants to file their defences has now elapsed. I was sent an allocation questionnaire to complete, requesting a further fee of £100, to be completed by 02/01/07.

 

This morning, Saturday 16/12/06, Nat West informed me that HSBC have instructed them not to honour the cheque! As it is Saturday, I cannot contact either HSBC or DG solicitors to determine why.

 

So, from 21/11/06 to present, I am no further on in retrieving my money. My family and I were heavily dependent upon such money to fund Christmas for our three children.

 

It looks like I will be the test case, which I am more than happy to take on. Has anybody else had a similar experience of a cheque being issued, and then withdrawn? Can anybody else please advise?

The funds deposited were due to be cleared at the close of trading Friday. Nat West informed me this morning (saturday) that the cheque (and subsequent funds) were returned to HSBC via the Nat West fraud department, on the advice of HSBC. So I am back to square one and will need to pursue through courts once again. In a perverse way, I would love to take my case to Court and be responsible for opening the floodgates!

 

Any one else experiencing similar?

stop, hold the panic. i think, although i've no basis for this, just throwing this out there - i think they are reacting to the possibility of paying it twice - sort of left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing. you got it into an account - their error -you wanted a cheque, so, at this point when you were talking to them - what happened to the money they had put into your account?

 

leave the a.q. and all talk of further action to the side for the moment -

i think you are sorted - it's a misunderstanding of where the money went.

 

so, if we are to sort it out logically - what happened to the money in the account.

 

i think perhaps you won't be able to sort this with hsbc today - although you could try one of the 800 numbers - i think you need to lay it out - then send your summary to dg, e-mail it to them as well and then call them first thing monday a.m. i think it will get sorted.

 

did you move the money in your account, did they take it back or is it still there?

you won't be a test case.

Thanks for all who took the time to post response. I feel a little easier now. lateralus, I think that you might be correct in your assumption that they are possibly reacting to paying the money twice. As for money in the account, I have no way of knowing what has happened to it - I have not used the account for years and have since forgotten passwords etc for on line banking to check. Will create a new thread. Many thanks.

Contacted the Bank first thing this morning and they were quite helpful. They can see no reason for why this has happened, are investigating this morning, and have promised me an answer later this morning. They did say that the initial sum of money paid into my account was subsequently withdrawn upon issue of the cheque. Strange! Will keep you updated as and when I hear anything!

Numerous telephone calls to HSBC, with promises of return calls which have not materialised. Apparently, so they claim, two cheques were sent out to me. One on 30th November, which I never received, and one on 7th. December, which I did receive and presented to my bank. Would you believe that this is the cheque thay they cancelled, rather than the one allegedly sent on 30th. November?

 

I am trying to arrange a direct bank transfer from HSBC to my current account, in light of their monumental cock ups! Do you think that they will/should agree to this? Otherwise, there is no hope of me receiving the money before Christmas.

i think they owe you an apology for besmurching your name with natwest.

the very least they can do is expedite the money! now natwest thinks you are involved with bank fraud. (i don't think they would really think this - it's just a little paranoia to feed hsbc). good luck - you'll get there - hopefully sooner rather than later - call them again!

Hi.

I have been telephoning HSBC since 9.00am this morning and still await a return call from them at time of writing - 4.00pm. Whenever I call, I have to explain my situation over and over again and the poor person on the other end of the telephone informs me that they will speak to their 'specialist' department who will telephone me straight away. I still await such a call. Another day wasted. Off to try again!

The plot thickens! It transpires that somebody at NatWest has deemed it appropriate to stop the transfer of funds. HSBC are totally innocent and assure me that they had no involvement or reason to stop the cheque, or the payment. Nat West are a little jittery and are launching a full investigation tomorrow. They can see no reason for this cause of action.

 

Through this action group, I managed to obtain details of and speak to the PA of Sir Freddie Goodwin, top man at Nat West, who was most helpful and promised an investigation from their end. Something a little shady going on here, me thinks. watch this space!

That is total and utter nonsense from HSBC, NatWest have paid the cheque in and sent it to clearing and HSBC has stated that a stop is on the cheque, NatWest do not stop a cheque drawn on another bank.

That is very interesting! Guess I will have to wait to see how this scenario develops, but I cannot quite see the logic in HSBC doing this. The guy who I last spoke to at HSBC sounded quite sincere and genuine, and requested that I obtain particular information from Nat West pertaining to cheque number and reason for not clearing cheque so that he could investigate from his end. As far as he was concerned, there was no issue with this cheque clearing and he was quite adamant that they had not put a stop on it.

 

If, as you say, this is not the case, what course of action can I take against HSBC with regard to their handling of this?

 

This is really beginning to wear me down!

NatWest will be able to tell you why the cheque was not paid but they would have had no hand in it being stopped as the cheque would have been drawn on HSBC

Yet another day wasted! I cannot believe that it takes so long to trace a cheque. HSBC still claiming their innocence, with Nat West still 'investigating'. With all this technology at their disposal, surely it should not take this long! Looking highly unlikely that it will be resolved in time for Christmas.

Perhaps NatWestStaffMember may be able to shed a little light on today's events. Apparently, an employee at Nat West clearing centre in Edinburgh took it upon themselves to check the validity of the cheque issued by HSBC! Nat West have my money and I would like it back. I intend to involve banking ombudsman when resolved and to close my account with Nat West, then claim bank charges back from them! Another wasted day! Looks like I will have to cancel Christmas this year!

If the cheque had a stop on it then NatWest had no hand in it being stopped. Can you clairfy that it was stopped ie paid into your account and then withdrawn? If yes then you would have had notification by NatWest of this in the post. If on the statement it says cheque unpaid and a reference number on the statement then the branch should be able to call with that reference and find out the reason for a stop on the cheque, if it is still clearing then it has not been stopped. I need more details as to the why and what info on clearing employee in Edinburgh, am assuming you are in Scotland, as there are a number of clearing centres around the UK not just where RBS are based
