    • Northmonk forget what I said about your Notice to Hirer being the best I have seen . Though it  still may be  it is not good enough to comply with PoFA. Before looking at the NTH, we can look at the original Notice to Keeper. That is not compliant. First the period of parking as sated on their PCN is not actually the period of parking but a misstatement  since it is only the arrival and departure times of your vehicle. The parking period  is exactly that -ie the time youwere actually parked in a parking spot.  If you have to drive around to find a place to park the act of driving means that you couldn't have been parked at the same time. Likewise when you left the parking place and drove to the exit that could not be describes as parking either. So the first fail is  failing to specify the parking period. Section9 [2][a] In S9[2][f] the Act states  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Your PCN fails to mention the words in parentheses despite Section 9 [2]starting by saying "The notice must—..." As the Notice to Keeper fails to comply with the Act,  it follows that the Notice to Hirer cannot be pursued as they couldn't get the NTH compliant. Even if the the NTH was adjudged  as not  being affected by the non compliance of the NTK, the Notice to Hirer is itself not compliant with the Act. Once again the PCN fails to get the parking period correct. That alone is enough to have the claim dismissed as the PCN fails to comply with PoFA. Second S14 [5] states " (5)The notice to Hirer must— (a)inform the hirer that by virtue of this paragraph any unpaid parking charges (being parking charges specified in the notice to keeper) may be recovered from the hirer; ON their NTH , NPE claim "The driver of the above vehicle is liable ........" when the driver is not liable at all, only the hirer is liable. The driver and the hirer may be different people, but with a NTH, only the hirer is liable so to demand the driver pay the charge  fails to comply with PoFA and so the NPE claim must fail. I seem to remember that you have confirmed you received a copy of the original PCN sent to  the Hire company plus copies of the contract you have with the Hire company and the agreement that you are responsible for breaches of the Law etc. If not then you can add those fails too.

    • I understand what you mean. But consider that part of the problem, and the frustration of those trying to help, is the way that questions are asked without context and without straight facts. A lot of effort was wasted discussing as a consumer issue before it was mentioned that the property was BTL. I don't think we have your history with this property. Were you the freehold owner prior to this split? Did you buy the leasehold of one half? From a family member? How was that funded (earlier loan?). How long ago was it split? Have either of the leasehold halves changed hands since? I'm wondering if the split and the leashold/freehold arrangements were set up in a way that was OK when everyone was everyone was connected. But a way that makes the leasehold virtually unsaleable to an unrelated party.

    • 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 ordered online from a high street store and the order was supposedly delivered by DHL when I was not at home.

I did not find it in any of my safe places, nor could I see any pictures with the tracking or instructions on where or with whom it was left.

I alerted the store who sent me a ‘declaration of honour’ to sign - all my details, address, DOB, order details, date, signature etc. 

Their reply was that it had been left at the front door and to check with other people who live at the address or a neighbour as maybe they collected it or signed for the package.

When I followed up saying that as stated I had done all of that, the store requested that I provide them with a sworn statements and proof of ID before they would refund.

Considering I already provided them with a ‘declaration of honour’ I am not sure sharing my ID in a generic customer care email is smart and it certainly is something I have not been requested to do before.

Does anyone have any experience of this and would you advise that I do it in order to get refunded?

Welcome to the forum.

Given that you have already provided this information once, I cant see a problem with providing it again with the added SOT and Proof of ID.

If you would name the on line store that would help us to see if we have any history of this being requested before.

ID is a driving licence or passport, something with your photo on it surely? The store is a high end clothes brand. Their name has never been mentioned on the forum before.

I assume this store is not local and therefore you would have to post out the information. I wouldn't be posting my Passport or DL out to any retailer and certainly not for a refund for goods not delivered.

This must be a considerable amount if they are so insistent on ID.....as said Proof of ID can be what I have stated it does not necessarily have to be either of the 2 you referred to unless they have said that specifically in their email.?

Given you wont name the store then we cant check their refunds or returns policy so its difficult to advise if this is a one off or being awkward or standard policy.

I assume you paid by credit card/debit card threaten a section 75 or chargeback that may speed the process up.

The Kooples - French clothes brand 

Not substantial at all, goods were just over £100.

I already signed a form with all details so besides ID discussion above, what is a ‘sworn statement’ even in request #2? These are aside from what I already happily and promptly provided called ‘declaration of honour’ so they could investigate with DHL.

pers id cut to the chase and launch a court claim against DHL. as DHL will just fob them off it WAS delivered and The Kooples will refuse refund. it simply a delaying tactic.

i've moved the thread to our postal forum.

you'll see lots of DHL court claim threads here.

as for ID , as @andyorch says, send them a copy of your CTAX bill.

photo ID is not necessary , they have no idea what you look like nor what your signature could ever be.

  • dx100uk changed the title to The Kooples (French)/DHL - lost parcel - Proof of ID from kooples to require investigation with DHL

Never heard of a Declaration of Honor with regards to requesting a refund. A sworn statement is simply that a statement of none receipt and signed and dated.

DHL is their problem not yours they are their approved carrier.

That is the problem - they are making stuff up as they go along as I already signed a form before.

Trading standards? What rights have I got to refuse these obscene demands from people that don’t as much as share their real names and no surnames with you.

What confirmation do I have that they keep any customer data they collect in line with certain standards?

They’re charlatans with poor ratings webwide.

And no, ID can’t be a bill, your ID is certainly a photo proof of sorts.

it can be a CTAX bill

its simply verifying where you are and who you.

a ctax bill is the universal proof on most things like SAR requests etc. the FCA/ICO/FOS state its usefulness .

From the last section of their General Terms and Conditions (GTC).

"These GTC are governed by the law of the country selected on the International Website after selecting one of the countries of the United Kingdom."

So what would OP need to do if it was a UK company?

note, I don’t even drive and no, I am not providing them with any more documents that no store in my life asked me for because I think they’re just taking the mickey

In our last communication, we asked you to provide clear copies of your ID which can be also copies of your driver's license so we could forward this for the claim. 
 
Please let us know in the reply to this email if the copies of ID/Drivers license can be submitted. 
 
In the meantime, we have forwarded this to the relevant team as an urgent matter to push for the claim.

If I were you I'd simply go back and quote s29(2)(a) of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (legislation.gov.uk) to them:

"29  Passing of risk

(1) A sales contract is to be treated as including the following provisions as terms.

(2) The goods remain at the trader’s risk until they come into the physical possession of—

(a) the consumer, or

(b) a person identified by the consumer to take possession of the goods."

 

If they (Kooples) are saying that the courier left the goods unattended outside your house, then they are rather stupidly admitting that the goods were never delivered into your "physical possession"  from the outset, and that they remained liable for them.  You can further point out to them that the legislation says nothing about you having to provide proof of identity in order to get your refund.  Who you are is irrelevant anyway.  All they need to do is to process the refund to the card you originally paid with.

If they still won't cough up you'll need to send a Letter Before Claim and sue them.

 

[Edit:  a Declaration of Honour sounds decidedly French.  Perhaps that - plus proof of ID - is how they do things in France]

Perhaps.  But it can't do any harm to spell out to the UK based operation what the legal position is.  That would be my next step.

What would be the cause of action against DHL in any case?  Was @Andyorch wrong when he said

uk consumer laws dont apply.

as for DHL ...i'd stop wasting time and send DHL a letter of complaint the parcel was not delivered.

then move to Letter of claim

and then court claim.

you can't sue a foreign ghost that even if you got judgement against you couldn't enforce it.

wake up.

same as any std claim here against evri or DHL or WHY. 

failure to deliver...prove it.

for all we know the delivery guy could have stolen it.

there is no proof of actual delivery.

same as all the lost parcel claims here.

But the OP doesn't have a contract with Evri to deliver it.  So what is the legal basis of the claim? 

If A purchased B from C, but C used D to deliver B to A, and the delivery failed, what is the basis of A's  claim against D?

Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, the OP's legal rights are against the trader (C), not the courier (D). 

So what is the basis of the claim?  If the seller doesn't cough up, how does the OP persuade a UK court that Evri should pay up?

Is it Torts (Interference with Goods) legislation?  You haven't answered which (1) doesn't help the OP if they need to claim and (2) makes me think you don't know...
