    • Morning all, a while since I've been here....I contacted my bank regarding the matter and they took the decision to take "charge back" action against QVC, I initially got the money back and then letters from QVC basically stating I had defaulted on my payments and owed them the money Nationwide had claimed back, just as BF speculated they would. In short I repaid QVC to avoid having debt collectors after me, and having contacted CAB am now in the process of writing to Evri outlining my claim. CAB provided me with a basic template for the letter so I'll see how that goes. Regards.
    • Well you could say that you have pictures where the signs were not on the wall where you parked so would require strict proof of when they were erected . But in any case it was dark so even if a sign was there you didn't see as it was not illuminated. Little point in not having signs that can be seen at night though it obviously makes it easier to issue PCNs and pursue motorists claiming they have breached non contractual contracts whilst breaching those same motorist's GDPR.
    • It fizzled out, they kept delaying the complaints process. In the end I believe they stopped charging me for a bunch of services, unsure if it was deliberate or a mistake so I stopped bringing it up. Ultimately we bought a house and moved out.
    • There are so many factors, and local elections are often far more about local issues and people, but the one previously general rule in a general election are that the hard core Tories vote Tory and hard core Labour voters vote labour   Gaza seems to have dulled both the muslim and Jewish labour votes more than the Tories - and I can see why - but do the muslim voters really think that the Tories will do ANYTHING other than talk and then do whatever the Americans say - and thats support Israel whatever they do first and foremost in real terms? Reform has unquestionably affected the Tory local vote - so should affect the GE vote a bit more, but has largely been factored in - reform isnt new in any way - its all Brexitish although there seem to be far more ex 'conservative' core reform/ukip/brexitish voters than ex 'labour' core voters - about 6-8% of the national vote in a GE seems to me. A little up on prior brexitish/faragits scores But the large swathes of center ground voters who decide who wins the election seem to have utterly deserted the Tories in their millions - although they have gone to labour, libdems and greens - and many real conservatives are in limbo despite Sunak being naturally more a thatcherite than most - his party currently seems far less so. Johnson promised much, and many were taken in, just as people (inc me) made that mistake with Farage in the early days - but we now know that they are self serving liars who can't be trusted with anything - although I still think it likely The Liar will be back - but most likely after the GE (60/40) Starmer is lacking in charisma and presence, but others in his cabinet should shine. But Corbynistas could still cause trouble - another group that seem happy to drag everything down if they think it suites   Johnson perhaps could reunite some of the Tory party - but he seems to have numerous criminal and political convistions sitting in the background should he try Lying about giving preference to dogs in the Afghan evacuations - and lying about it Unlawfully proroguing parliament embezzlement re funds and spending (eg flat referb) .. repeatedly Taking jobs before he should after being booted - should lose his PM pension and rights over that IMO the list goes on ad nauseam
    • Hi I am negotiating with my ex (commercial) landlord's solicitor for a debt I owe for rent. This has been going on for a little while and I expect they may go ahead with the court action they threaten. I wanted to ask however, In the event this action goes ahead, I think will have a response pack sent to me from the court, along with the claim. Google tells me that a section of this response pack is a 'Admit the claim and ask for time to pay'. Would this time to pay, if accepted also mean a CCJ registered against me? Thanks

    • 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.

I sent  2 parcels to music magpie on the 10th of April. I have been a longtime user of music magpie as my business regularly updates our devices and we recycle them through music magpie. Since 2018 I have recycled about £18,000 worth of devices to them. 
 

neither of the parcels arrived to musicmagpie. Typically I post with Royal Mail however they changed their terms so that Royal Mail is only insured upto £100 and to have my items fully insured I must sent by Asdatoyou. I sent the items however no weight is recorded on the label and the receipt that’s provided just contains  the tracking number. Items are left in a postal box that is open to anyone. No staff is present at the drop box, it is self service but the door doesn’t lock. 

 

I followed MusicMagpies claim process. They asked for the proof of postage and the imei numbers of the devices. A day later they asked for the proof of purchase which I also provided. I provided these on the 18th. On the 24th they deemed my order as fraudulent and stated that they wouldn’t be paying out. 
 

this was the response I received ‘14. paragraph 6 of our terms and conditions we shall accept no other valuation than our own for the items that you maybe claiming for and under no circumstances do we accept any liability for any other loss, damage or compensation resulting from the use of our delivery services’

 
they completely disregarded all my prior orders with them and I have been a longtime customer, sending over 60 parcels to them. They stated they would not comment further and have not responded to any of my emails. 
 

what is my legal standing and what are my next moves?

 

They are refusing to cooperate.

I specifically chose the Asda toyou courier because their website stated the order would be fully insured is this not contradictory to the statement they gave me? 
 

please any advise would be helpful.

The orders amount to £2000 and whilst this wouldn’t be the biggest loss in the world I just think it’s unfair that they get to do this.

If you don't mind, I'd appreciate if you could be a bit clearer about exactly what has happened .

I haven't heard of this service from Asda to you before. 

Please tell us about that. Are they brokers or do they actually carry out the delivery?

You refer to some of their terms and conditions on a website. Please can you provide a link.

 

Tell us a bit about the role of music magpie in this. And also what were the items that you were sending and why were you sending them?

 

Presumably the music magpie claims process is on an internet site somewhere. Please can you link us to that claims process so we can have a look

 

You have already been advised to start reading lots of the threads on this forum about parcel delivery. They are mostly about EVRi but all the principles will be the same.

However, I am interested in the fact that apparently the service you used actually offered full insurance.

 

Insurance is not necessary but it is certainly unusual for any company to offer full insurance as part of their price.

 

I understand from what you say that they are refusing to accept your valuation.

What evidence do you have for your evaluation.

I was selling my devices to music magpie.

I was selling 4 iPhones to them.

This isn’t out of the ordinary for me and music magpie should be fine with this as so far they have paid me out £18000 over the years. I provided proof of purchase and imei numbers of the devices anyhow.

 

It seems as though last week musicmagpie have changed their terms and conditions originally (when I sent the parcel)

it stated that items were insured upto the valuation of the parcel if sent with Evri or Asda toyou,

 

this has now changed to state that parcels are only insured up to £150.

I have attached the packaging guide and you can see how they have changed their wording. 
 

asda to you are a deliver courier.

They deliver the parcels themselves, parcels are dropped off at the Asda store in a postbox.

 

the evidence I have for my valuation is that I took pictures of the items before I sent them clearly showing their condition and I also have proof of purchase documents verifying ownership. They are saying that it is a fraudulent order.

there isn’t much information regarding the claims process but I have attached a link to their site with information about the process 

 

WWW.MUSICMAGPIE.CO.UK

Need to know more about the terms and conditions surround a claim for loss and damage? Read more information here.

 

I have attached the shipping guidance

 

you can see one doesn’t mention that Asda toyou service isn’t fully insured and one mentions that it is only compensated at £150.

 

When I placed the order the website clearly stated that Asda toyou was fully insured and to use the Asda service if sending high value parcels.

good you appear to have done some reading up..

 

it doesn't matter who provided the label 'directing' you to a 'postal company'...it's that actual company that lost your goods...your target.

 

carefully also read and respond to any outstanding @BankFodderquestions.

What was the last date that you saw the reference to full insurance on the website?

So that is very decent and honest of them.

So what is the objection? Simply that they don't believe the parcel valuation

Thank you

Also, the link to the music magpie site which you posted above doesn't contain any reference at all to insurance. Please could you post a link which goes directly to the relevant page.

Although I agree with my site team colleague that you might normally want to sue the courier company, there are elements here which may be think it might be easier to see the music magpie. Also, if they are held to account then they will take a view on their courier delivery service

 

I'm also instead the fact that they say that they have decided that your claim is fraudulent but are clearly declining to provide any evidence.

I think for this reason alone, you should be attacking music magpie and they should get the slap that they clearly deserve.

Will you post the link that I have asked for.

Also, you should write to music back pain immediately and tell them that if they feel that there has been fraud, that it is reasonable to expect that they will provide you with the evidence of that alleged fraud immediately – and secondly, that they have a clear public duty to inform the police.

Asked them to confirm that they have informed the police and asked them for the crime number and asked them when it is likely that you will receive a visit from the police either to give a statement or to be arrested.

Thank you I will do all that now. 
 

i have added a link for the updated parcel insurance terms but these terms don’t apply to my parcel. When I posted the parcel it stated that asda toyou was fully insured and Royal Mail was only insured to a value of £150.

You may have given some details already but please will you rehearse here the evidence you have here in support of your own valuation.

Okay so I valued the items as good. Which is the best condition on the music magpie website.

 

so I came to this judgement as my items perfectly matched the criteria as stated by music magpie, 

 

original boxes were included for all items including adapters and chargers.

 

the items were purchased in October so weren’t that old and still under warranty(not  relevant but just speaking to the age of the item and how used it actually is)

 

the items were in a case the whole time and screen protector applied since day 1 due to this the phones didn’t have a single scuff or scratch. 
I took a photo of the phones before shipping them.


to verify ownership I provided proof of purchase documents and the correlating transaction on a bank statement. 
 

I have sent 50+ orders to music magpie and not a single order has ever been revalued so I’m 100% sure my valuation was accurate.

Sounds good, do you have receipts for them as well as the information on your bank statements?

 

Also, where these two telephone sent in one parcel or were they sent in two separate parcels? Were they sent on the basis of one contract or two contracts?

Yep I have the invoice from the Apple Store which contains a variety of different reference numbers so if apple were contacted they would confirm ownership. I already provided these documents to them

 

they were sent in two separate parcels as two separate orders.

Okay well I suggest that you issue letter of claim.

You can either sue on the basis of both boxes at the same time or you could sue one after another in order to test the water that with the first one.

If they don't like what is happening then they may will want to negotiate and if they do then I would suggest that your negotiation stance would be that they pay out for both or otherwise there will be another claim on its way to them PDQ.

If you like this idea than draft a letter of claim and post it here so that we can check it.

I suggest that we aim to post of a letter of claim to them by Friday
