    • I've had to hide two of your posts.  Anyone clicking on your links gets sent to external sites.  On top of that your real name is showing on one screenshot.  Fellow Site Team member dx100uk has already politely asked - Anyway, jk2054 wants to see the communication you got from your local court which will have told you about the hearing date of 17 June, and will have mentioned a deadline for filing your Witness Statement.
    • I believe it is helpful to seek guidance from a range of places and decide on the validity of the sources and frequency of responses which are most helpful. A single voice can be a dangerous thing. As, of course, can groupthink. Scott, it feels like £4k on a solicitor for a £1.5k bill is overkill. Were we back in time I'd suggest small claims court as your claim sounds like it may be straightforward? By all means add that phrase on. I also suggest you contact the court and go and sit in on a couple of similar cases to get a better understanding before you shell out.

    • 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 everyone,

 

No change since the last update. Evri did not provide the necessary details for mediation, so the case has been transferred:

 

Your claim was transferred to MAYORS & CITY OF LONDON COURT on 13/02/2023.

 

I've received nothing else via e-mail or post, so am waiting.

I suggest that you telephoned the court once a week to check that there isn't a dataset and that you haven't been informed.

The courts are very nice – the staff are very friendly – but they are hopefully inefficient and make all sorts of mistakes.

Hi again,

 

Thank you for the advice. I just received a letter dated Apr 4, which said that the case has been transferred to the County Court at Clerkenwell & Shoreditch. So there has been some movement. 

 

I will start calling the Court if there is no progress within a decent time frame.

Hi,

The claim has been allocated to the small claims track and the hearing will be on August 21. I have attached the Notice I received.

I remember already paying the court fee. Is this reminder something that is added by default to the Notice, even if it has already been paid, or is it a separate fee that I need to pay?

The Judge also mentioned Mediation, but I have already tried going down that route and Evri did not respond, hence the initiative was dropped. Should I try for mediation again, or just wait until the Hearing?

Anything specific I should be reading between now and the hearing? And any tips/advice?

Thanks.

Separate its the hearing fee you have paid the issuance fee.

 

Make sure you comply with the courts directions by the dates given. (hearing fee/Statement/disclosures)

Evri has reached out to propose an out of court settlement totalling £409. I responded saying that this does not cover the claim + fees I already paid.

Am now waiting to see if they bump their offer.

Did you claim interest in your original claim?

That's a shame – because 8 percent per annum is pretty good at the moment even with the interest rates going up.

Anyway you are absolutely right to stand your ground and insist on every last penny. They are desperate to avoid a judgement against them. Don't give in to anything and don't agree to any confidentiality agreements.
If they want to confidentiality then it should cost them extra. Confidentiality is not part of the claim and so all you want them to do settle the claim and not impose any other conditions.

Every last penny!

Good morning,

I am waiting for proof of payment from Evri. The court date is August 21 and I was trying to find information about what I'd need to do when settling out of court. If the funds arrive before the date, I will ring the Court up and inform them of the out of court settlement.

If the funds don't arrive by August 21, will there be any monetary penalty for me if I don't cancel the hearing, and instead go there and mention the pending settlement?

Couldn't find much info around this situation.

Thanks.

I don't think we knew that there was a settlement. Have they offered everything?

I suggest that you send EVRi an email

Dear XXX

Reference number XXX

On XXX date you agree to reimburse me £XXX being the amount claimed plus all my claim fees. I supplied you with my bank details which once again are XXX and XXX.

So far I have not received any payment from you and am putting you on notice that if the payment isn't received by the date of the hearing that I shall be attending the court will be informed not only that you have breach of contract in respect of the delivery of my property but also you have breached this new contract where you have promised be payment in return for my promise to withdraw the claim.
I suggest that you get a move on and make the payment in order to avoid any further expense and inconvenience to myself and to the court in addition to the problems that you have already caused us all.

Once I have received payment and it has cleared then I shall withdraw the claim – but not before.

Yours

you won't suffer any penalty if the payment has not been made.

If the payment has not been made then of course you must attend court. Show the judge the copies of the email agreeing to the settlement but explained to the judge that they have had more than enough time to make the payment and so it seems that they have reneged on their promise and that you are asking the judge to give judgement in your favour and also to comment on their broken promise to pay you.

Please keep us updated

Thank you for the template.

Unsurprisingly, Evri responded in their usual disdainful style towards their customers and told me they already have my bank details on file and that I don't need to send them again.

They highlighted the fact that it can take 10 working days to receive payment, starting August 9 (when I accepted the settlement offer). They also made sure to explain that working days means Monday to Friday and that I am free to attend the hearing.

I am 99% sure that I will receive the funds on the hearing date, or one day before.

Reply to them and explain that if cleared funds are not in your account by the hearing date that you will be attending court and asking for judgement and they are welcome to attend court if they want.

If they want to avoid this then they had better pay up quickly and stop relying on their broken procedures.

Tell them that they have proved unreliable so far and that you don't trust them and you aren't prepared to withdraw the claim until cleared funds are in your account

As expected, they waited until the last possible moment to pay. I received payment just now.

I will call the Court and inform them that I would like to withdraw my claim. Based on reviews, they don't seem to be very responsive though. If I can't get through to the Court and do not go there on the hearing date, would the claim be automatically cancelled?

I also want to thank you all again for the immense help, without which I would not have gotten this far. I'll be donating part of the refund as a token of thanks.

No. I think you have to inform the court. They won't simply cancel it automatically.

As well as informing them on the phone, send them an email so you have a record that you have tried

You need to file the following Notice of Discontinuance with the court and serve a copy on the defendant's.

Well done.

Thanks Andy.

The Court replied to my e-mail asking for the withdrawal of the claim:

"""

Hello,

Thank you for your email. The hearing has now been vacated and case closed.

"""

Easier than expected.

Happy to put this all behind me.
