    • Thank you. You contacted directly with the parcel broker so your best option is to proceed directly against them for breach of contract. I hope you have read enough to understand that you will not be able to rely on the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Do you understand why? Have Parcel to Go giving you a reason for declining reimbursement? Do you have anything in writing from your customer which shows that they did not refuse delivery and which identifies the actual circumstances of the situation?

    • Perhaps you would care to read this and reflect on your continuing comparison of Israel to Nazi Germany Jugg    ALEX BRUMMER: How grotesque of pro-Palestine protesters to besmirch Auschwitz, the place where my grandparents died WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK As the son of a refugee from the horrors of the Holocaust, I can feel nothing but contempt for the ignorance, gross... My elderly aunt Sussie and cousin Sheindy had been teenagers at Auschwitz and Belsen but survived and are alive to this day. What they will make of the protesters who waved flags, heckled and chanted as Israelis took part in the March Of The Living – the annual walk from Auschwitz to Birkenau – I cannot imagine. The images now circulating of the protesters are indescribably disturbing. They can only bring back memories of those final moments Sheindy shared with my grandparents when my grandmother Fanya squeezed her hand and told her to lie about her age to avoid the gas chambers. Claiming she was older, and could work, meant that Sheindy lived, not died. The outrage perpetrated by Hamas on October 7 has brought back the most terrifying memories for these two women – memories of pillage, mutilation and starvation. The Holocaust, or Shoah to use the Hebrew word, was the deliberate, industrial-scale killing of Jews.  It is bad enough that pro-Palestinian and pro-Hamas sympathisers have chosen to steal the language of the Holocaust.  Any comparison between Israel's retaliation and the monstrous genocide of the 1940s is odious and anti-Semitic
    • Thank you JK2054 and BankFodder for your replies. The information requested is as follows:   My wife and I are sole traders supplying bespoke, handmade wedding trays and other items through our website. We do not sell on ebay. We had an order for two trays (invoice value £370) that were shipped on Monday 25th March. We used P2G as the broker and Evri as the shipper. We declared the value but did not take out insurance. As the trays were a present for a wedding on Saturday 30th March we checked the progress of delivery on the Thursday to see that there had been an attempt to deliver on the 27th but the driver failed to deliver as the customer’s gate was shut (customer informs us that the gates are open between 7am-7pm. We contacted the customer who informed us she had been waiting in all week and there had been no attempt of a delivery. Evri allege they attempted to deliver on the 28th & 29th. On the P2G web site on the 4th April at 14.17 it stated that the customer refused delivery. At 14.28 it updated to say there was a problem with the address and at 14.32 updated to say the customer had refused delivery. At 14.35 updated again to say it was being returned. Last entry was on the 7th April that it was being processed at the depot. We never received it. I have had six web chats with P2G between the 4th-30th April. On the 26th April, I had an offer of £20 plus cost of delivery (£6.72) from P2G which I rejected. During this time, I also contacted Evri that resulted in an email from Evri Customer Services (20th April) stating that they had lost the parcel. I replied requesting details of the attempted delivery but received no reply. After emailing Evri again on the 23rd asking again for the information I received a phone call from someone called Haleemah on the 25th who apologised and promised to send an email with a link to submit a claim form. I subsequently received an email with the link which only took me to a page that stated “Page not found”. After informing Evri customer services of the problem (to which no reply was forthcoming) a couple of days later I retried the link but it only took me to the Evri website. I believe that I have a good case against both companies but would appreciate guidance on which path to go down. I have read most of the information on this site, which has been very helpful and much appreciated, particularly the various court transcripts. I appreciate that this process is a marathon and not a sprint and am fully aware that I need to get everything in the correct order before starting on the legal road. I am sure this covers the current position but if further info is needed please let me know.  
    • Everything at small claims revolves around informality and common sense, there are no "special" ways to have to do things. The site manager's WS will be like yours and the one I linked to - just much shorter.  There need to be the introductory hearings about the case, the parties, etc., and the concluding Statement of Truth. In the middle just a couple of paragraphs where they say who they are, how they know you, and about permission being given by the landowner to use the car park. Superb.  I've added another section about the signage to the suggested WS sections three posts above. Yes, it's perfectly possible.  It'd be a good idea to phone the court on the 18th to see if they have paid.

    • 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 guys,

my partner purchased a used vehicle from a small independent garage. Within 20 miles of the drive home, the vehicle had numerous warning lights appear. Immediately contacted the garage who stated it was the battery. 
 

Battery was replaced and the lights returned, more lights than before.

car was taken back to the garage, faults were wiped etc. and coincidentally returned when my partner received the car. 
 

it has now gone back to them for a second time to be repaired, which has taken 2 roughly 2 weeks so far (it is now just over 30 days since initial purchase).

as the vehicle is still not repaired and seems to be an ongoing fault, my partner requested a refund for the vehicle. 
 

they have rejected the refund with The following unprofessional response: 

do appreciate your frustration and I do appreciate the time it is taking for the repair, this is due to waiting times on parts to be delivered. 
 
Unfortunately due to consumer rights act you have the right to reject within the first 30 days when either the repairs fail - which they haven’t these are new faults and new issues arising on the car, or if you chose the rejection straight of the bat, in this instance you have agreed to the repairs, you have taken our courtesy car and now you want to reject unfortunately we cannot accept that rejection. 
 
The initial issue was your battery, your battery hasn’t failed, then your brought the car in because you hadn’t cleared the faults after you replaced the battery which we did, it just so happens that now a sensor has failed in the car which is a new fault not a failed repair. 
 
Mazda's in general are notorious for their sensors failing, and it just so happens you have now had 2 brand new main dealer parts put in the vehicle which means your car is now 100% fit for purpose. You have bought a 2nd hand used car, not a brand new car unfortunately things can fail and the car will need to be repaired, at least these things failed while you are still in warranty and not 6 months down the line where you would have had to pay the £400+ for the repairs out of your own pocket.”
 
where do we stand?

like everything they have said 

total absolute RUBBISH.

warranties are not worth the paper they are written on and do not REMOVE. REPLACE or WEAKEN your rights under various Consumer laws.

its immaterial the 'faults' appeared outside of 30days, you reported the car faulty within that time, - they should not have SOLD YOU THE CAR with those faults anyway. 

and you have NOT by default accepted a repair. - that didnt work!! :frusty: only allowed ONE repair anyway.. then..

you can reject the car 1000%

name and shame

How did you pay? Do you pay by cash or bank transfer or did you obtain a loan or pay by credit card et cetera?

By bank transfer - They were not willing to allow debit or credit card, I’m guessing they don’t allow credit card otherwise they would have to dispute with the credit card company for the faulty car!

Have you read our used car guide and see what we have to say about paying by bank transfer and about how you should walk away when a dealer insists on this?

Please can you tell something about the car, make model mileage et cetera. Also, you haven't told us how much you paid.

Did it come with a new MOT or a very recent MOT?

Who issued the MOT? Was it by the dealer or somebody very close? Please name them here

Okay thanks.

A slight difficulty here is that if you have to claim form them and you want the full value then you will exceed the small claims court £10,000 limit.

This means if you lost the case – which is almost impossible on the basis of what you say, you would have to pay the other side's costs including legal representation if they got a solicitor.
If you are suing for less than £10,000 then even if you lost you would have to pay very little indeed. You would probably only be saddled with your own costs Which might be about 800 quid.

I think it is very important to keep your claim down to less than £10,000 and the only way I can see to manage this is to keep the car, have it repaired by someone else – a reputable repairer and then sue for the cost of repairs.

Do you like the car well enough to want to keep it? Assuming it was all properly repaired?

And not only for your benefit – but for the benefit of anybody else who comes here, by agreeing to pay by bank transfer you gave away a huge number of rights which would have made things much easier.
This was a very costly error for you. It you had used a car loan or a credit card payment – even if you had the cash and repaid the credit card straightaway then you could have held the finance company or the credit card issuer responsible and you wouldn't have had to deal with these cowboys who were just trying to rip you off.

You seem to be saying that you were already aware of this forum. It's a shame that you didn't read around and do some research before you started spending this kind of money. We cover a wide range of subjects and we give lots of advice and it's all free.

UPDATE -

well finally they agreed to offer a refund, the V5 and keys have been dropped of to them. 
 

the car was paid for by bank transfer, however they state it takes 14 days for a refund which seems To be a bit of a joke as no finance was used etc. 

 

what makes it worse, is the car is back on the website for sale, so I am waiting for a refund for my car which is now being advertised on their website. 
 

Is this legal? 
 

Embarrassment of a company too, manager wouldn’t even come and speak to me when I returned the keys and V5!

It sounds like a good result so a tentative well done.

However, they have the car and they have your money.

Let ask know when you get paid.

Have you got pictures of the car with registration number et cetera? Maybe you would like to post them up here

Thank you, they were adamant the faults were new and differed from The original issue. They weren’t very smart with their response and seemed to completely contradict their own answers - which led to them giving up the fight! 
 

I just wasn’t sure if they can legally advertise the car for sale whilst the V5 is still in my ownership (if they haven’t already transferred it to trade) and whilst they haven’t paid me for the vehicle!
