    • From #38 where you wrote the following, all in the 3rd person so we don't know which party is you. When you sy it was your family home, was that before or after? " A FH split to create 2 Leasehold adjoining houses (terrace) FH remains under original ownership and 1 Leasehold house sold on 100y+ lease. . Freeholder resides in the other Leasehold house. The property was originally resided in as one house by Freeholder"
    • The property was our family home.  A fixed low rate btl/ development loan was given (last century!). It was derelict. Did it up/ was rented out for a while.  Then moved in/out over the years (mostly around school)  It was a mix of rental and family home. The ad-hoc rents covered the loan amply.  Nowadays  banks don't allow such a mix.  (I have written this before.) Problems started when the lease was extended and needed to re-mortgage to cover the expense.  Wanted another btl.  Got a tenant in situ. Was located elsewhere (work). A broker found a btl lender, they reneged.  Broker didn't find another btl loan.  The tenant was paying enough to cover the proposed annual btl mortgage in 4 months. The broker gave up trying to find another.  I ended up on a bridge and this disastrous path.  (I have raised previous issues about the broker) Not sure what you mean by 'split'.  The property was always leasehold with a separate freeholder  The freeholder eventually sold the fh to another entity by private agreement (the trust) but it's always been separate.  That's quite normal.  One can't merge titles - unless lease runs out/ is forfeited and new one is not created/ granted. The bridge lender had a special condition in loan offer - their own lawyer had to check title first.  Check that lease wasn't onerous and there was nothing that would affect good saleability.  The lawyer (that got sacked for dishonesty) signed off the loan on the basis the lease and title was good and clean.  The same law firm then tried to complain the lease clauses were onerous and the lease too short, even though the loan was to cover a 90y lease extension!! 
    • 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.

    • 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.

EVRi delivered parcel to a commercial property


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I recently sent shoes via EVRI.

The recipient put a house name for the delivery, but EVRi has delivered it to a commercial shop.

The recipient has tried to retrieve it but hasnt been able to.

Evri then declared the parcel lost, advised me to raise a claim (which I did) and then they’ve now decided that the parcel isnt lost.

I’ve issued them with a letter of claim (ignored).

Would I just be following the same pattern as all other EVRI claims here except excluding the part that says that i didnt have the insurance since I did,

but instead focus on a breach of contract and the misspelling of signature?
 

Thanks

Yes.

However you could also refer to the insurance and ask for the premium back pointing out that it is an insurance policy which is being sold in breach of section 72 consumer rights act as it is a secondary contract and it is calculated to contribute to the excluding of consumer rights under section 57.

Hello,

 

I've looked over the EVRi website and they label their insurance as having "Guaranteed piece of mind".

 

Should I add in my POC that this is false advertising and is misleading to class it as "Guaranteed piece of mind"?

 

Also could/should  I reference the fraud act 2006? specifically section 4?

Thanks

Sorry for the delay.

 

Please see retracted POC attached. 

If I'm correct in thinking im essentially using the same arguement as against UPS since it's pretty much the same situation. Only difference is this time they've given the misdelivered location that they delivered it to whereas UPS are insisting that they delivered it to the correct property.

Please let me know of any changes.

I used the defendant’s courier service to send a pair of Supreme x nike dunk low stars blue
size UK 9  value £556.

My parcel was assigned the tracking number XXXXX by the defendant.

Quote

In any case, the defendant has failed to deliver the parcel to the recipient’s address is required by the contract instead
delivering it to a store where the recipient cannot retrieve it.

The defendant has admitted themselves in writing that they delivered it to an address which is different to that on the
label.

As such the defendant has breached their own terms and conditions.

One point per paragraph

Quote

Additionally, the defendant is attempting to exclude their liability to reimburse customers for
their lost and/or damaged parcels and this is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights
act 2015 unless they purchase the defendant's insurance policy which is a secondary contract and prohibited within the meaning of section 72 of the consumer rights act

Quote

I declared the value on the defendant’s website at 556.00 (as this was the price it cost me to
acquire the goods).

It is worth noting that I paid for the defendant’s “Full cover” insurance policy despite the fact that requiring customers to pay an extra
fee in order to enjoy rights already guaranteed under the consumer rights act 2015 is contrary to section 57 and 72 of said act and is therefore unenforceable and unnecessary.

I paid the defendant £30.01 in shipping costs including the cost of the defendants insurance policy which as has already been pointed out is a prohibited secondary contract under section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015 .

The paragraph should be numbered and one point per paragraph generally.

Incorporate that lot above and then let's have a look

Hello,

 

Just one question. Where you've said " unless they purchase the defendant's insurance policy which is a secondary contract and prohibited within the meaning of section 72 of the consumer rights act"

surely this  is not correct to include?

My claim is that they are excluding their liability based on the fact they claim to have delivred it correctly despite previously admitting they did not rather than that they are excluding it under the purposes of insurance so surely the bit above doesnt make sense since I purchased the insurance?

 

Rest updated. please do let me know

No it's fine. What you are doing is pointing out to the judge that they are operating an illegal insurance policy scheme and also you are justifying recovering your insurance premium from them

By delivering the parcel to the incorrect location – rather than the address provided by the claimant….

 

Don't forget to include a statement of truth at the bottom and of course to sign and date it

Quite normal.

This extends their time for filing a defence to 28 days after service of the claim.

What day is that?

Also, have you done lots of reading of the stories on this sub- forum? Do you understand all principles involved?

sorry I think the day is going to be the 9th October 2023

Please make sure you get all the reading done. If you think you've done it all – then do some more. There is no downside.

For familiarisation visits to CC do you need to let them know your coming in advance? Also how do you know what time proceedings start, is it just set at 9am?

No you don't need to let them know an advance just go in and see the usher firstly very politely.

I think that you will find that county courts open to the public at about 10:00.

Go to the court and ask. There will be security on the door and they will tell you. They will also want to know why you are there. Don't take any cameras or recording equipment.

Talk to the security people and they will tell you how to find the usher

I'm sure that in my county court familiarisation guide it tells you to speak to the usher.

Did you read the guide?
