    • Good morning all, No further communication with P2G so now submitting my small claims action. Would be grateful for any feedback on my description of claim before I submit later. The defendant in this case is Parcel2Go Limited The claimant sent a parcel using Parcel2Go Ltd as a broker and Evri as the shipper containing two handmade bespoke wedding trays to a customer with tracking number P2Gxxxxxxxx. The parcel was never delivered although the defendant stated that three attempts had been made to deliver the parcel.  The claimants customer waited in for four days to receive the delivery but no delivery was attempted. There was no communication with the claimants customer.  Despite many web chats and emails the parcel was not delivered and on the Parcel2Go website it stated that the customer had refused delivery. This was not true as no delivery had been attempted.  I was informed that the parcel was being returned to me but after waiting three weeks was informed by Evri that the parcel was lost. I was offered compensation of £20 + shipping fee which I refused and after sending Parcel2Go a Letter of claim this was increased to £75 which I also refused. It is clear that the defendant is responsible for the loss of the parcel as they did not act with reasonable care and skill when handling the claimants parcel, contrary to section 49 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015. The claimant therefore seeks £370 in respect to the value of goods plus court costs. I thought it might be better to use the CRA rather than the Supply of Goods and Services Act as we are sole traders - is this correct?

    • Hi, I am aware there’s been few threads about this already but just wanted to confirm information on my case. I was with Village gym last year(2023) on initial 6 month usual contract they do, I lost my job and due to that I couldn’t afford to pay for gym nor I had any motivation to go to gym at that time so they sent me arc phone message in September 2023 that I owed them £140 so I paid them back on instalments in 2 months time.  Then I started receiving new years deals in December 2023 and I decided to give them a call but they never mentioned anything about 6 month contract or anything, only that it would be monthly rolling contract and I paid them for 2 months and then I realised both months they charged me £59 instead of £38 they offered me on the phone when I mentioned that I am still student, even though before I was paying £43 a month in mid 2023. I spoke to gym entrance lady and she said I should give a call to gym on the phone number so I did and whoever answered said they’ll pass my info to manager and he will give me a call back in 24 hours, of course no one called me back so I called again and they said same thing. And of course once again no one got in touch with me so I got tired of them charging me more than they should and decided to cancel my direct debit and stopped going there as I got new job with rotation shifts which is not good for me as I cannot visit gym after I finish at 10pm every second week.  And now in April I received arc message saying this :  Also they have my old flat address where I used to live. What is the  best thing to do for me please? Thank you!

    • 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,

 

Ive just started a fight with Barclays, did so after reading the BBC article. Ive just found this forum, good to know there will be help along the way :D, although i hope this will be short and sweet.

 

I sent them the standard 14 day letter asking for just under £1k, the total amount that I have statements for over the last 6 years. I dont have 2005 statements. The reason I havn't asked for 2005 statemets is in hope they will be more likely to pay out quicker. 2005 is probably about £200.

 

Question 1. Was that a good idea?:-|

 

They have replied within 5 working days, saying they 'are sorry to hear im unhappy', and will 'let me (gee thanks!!) have an answer or update no later than 17th January'. A complaints procedure manual was enclosed.

 

Question 2. I do not want to wait untill 17th Jan, I want to file against them within 14 days of my original letter. Is this a good idea? Also, shouldi give them 14 'working' days?:-|

 

Question 3. If Barclays stall too much, or just annoy me more, and i decide to claim the full amount owed to me (re: 2005 aswell), will the fact that my original letter only claimed for £1k work against me?:|

 

Thanks

It's my money...

You can claim any of the maximum amount your entitled to within the six year period. All the charges you want to claim back, must be on you N1 claim form. If you ammend the claim to include the 2005 charges at a later date, you'll have to file in a form (N244 I think) and pay the appropriate fee (£35 I think).

 

You need to allow them 14 days to reply to your prelimary letter, and then an additional 14 days to reply to your letter before action. If the letter they have sent you is in reply to your LBA, you can start the claim process after the 14 days.

 

I doubt they will settle any quicker just by leaving out the 2005 charges.

Hello fellows,

 

Happy new year to all.

 

I sent my first letter explaining that I believe charges to be illegal and asked for £1000 within 14 days or I take them to court. I received the standard letter saying they will reply no later than mid-january. They have now replied offering just under £500. Obviously this is not good enough. Whats next?:-|

 

Can someone confirm that i need to reply to barclays now, giving them 7 days or i will start court action (as posted by Karnevil earlier)?

 

I would also like to call them explaining i know i will win in court so they are better off just paying me all my money now. Is that a good idea? My offer letter is from Lynnette Jeffreys, anyone had any experience with her :confused:?

 

Thanks.

just send them the next letter as showin the the FAQ - your looking for the, Ill accept as a partial settlement and will continue to persue the rest - letter

 

I wouldnt call them just yet, you'll probably just rattle them more!

 

My offer letter was from her, i sent the thanks ill accept but ill continue for the rest - she responded with the usual "if you sign it you cant continue your claim"

 

So i just went to MCOL as i had previously gave them 14 days and went on with my claim from there.

Thinking the first hirdle would be the easiest, i was suprised when Barclays wrote saying i could not have access to all my info i had requested, 2000-03 they will not release, stating it in not classed as personal info when i have requested a breakdown of charges as against just the statments, [need to breakdown to be clear of what they have over charged for]2000-03 they will not give me this breakdown. wot to do now

any ideas????

Hi guys,

 

As expected Baclays have failed to improve their offer, infact they have failed to reply at all! Ive given them 14 days plus an extra couple, I'm happy to start the ball rolling on court action, but im a little confused...

 

Do i now fill in an N1 form or an MCOL form? Whats the difference?

Help, as always, is much appreciated.

 

Thanks:)

You can fill out a paper N1 and hand it in at your local county court, or you can file one online with MCOL. If you use MCOL, you can check progress of your claim online.

 

Do an up to date spreadsheet/schedule of charges the day you start MCOL, so that you have an accurate figure to enter in the Particulars of claim(POC)with the 8% interest added on.

 

In the templates library youll find all the tips and info that you need to complete the Particulars of Claim/N1.

Hi martin,

 

Please read over all the FAQ's, and then start your own thread in the relevant forum e.g Abbey.

 

Most people are only claiming 6 years, but there are a few exeptions of people going back even further.

Hi guys and gals,

 

I've rejected an offer of 50% from my bank and have informed them of court action if the full amount is not received by a early Jan 07. That date has now expired and I wish to start a claim. Having spent hours reading all the faq's and notes (:!:highly recommended any newcomers, in fact, a must), I am In a position to send one more letter and start my claim.

 

My letter will be similar to the LBA, including a final notice of court action

(I previously said I would do it in early Jan. but I've been a bit busy), that I will be using a copy of Peter McNamara's BBC Radio interview comments. I will include a copy. Finally a request for a breakdown of the actual costs incurred to them by my 'transgressions' on the dates that I have been unlawfully charged. I think that should prepare me nicely, even if they refuse I have that as evidence I have tried to get this resolved between us.

 

 

1) I have not stuck to the date that I initially said I would commence a court claim. Will this adversely affect my case?

 

2) I am not claiming for the full amount from the past 6 years. I do not have my 2005 statements and I do not wish to get them, it is minimal. Will this adversely affect my case?

 

3) How cool is the CAG?:D

 

Cheers

No, you were just giving them extra time to reconsider their position before you commenced action.

 

I am not claiming for the full amount from the past 6 years. I do not have my 2005 statements and I do not wish to get them, it is minimal. Will this adversely affect my case?

 

 

Not at all. My first claim with Lloyds TSB was for the first four years. After they settled I went back for the last two.

Forgot to say, if you have already sent the LBA, I personally wouldn't bother sending another letter (up to you though). As to including evidence, again I wouldn't bother. Its very unlikely you'll get a settlement any earlier.

 

Once you've filed your claim, have a look through the banking templates library to familiarise yourself with the allocation questionnaire. This will be the next step after Barclays enter their defence.

 

Your doing fine, don't panic.....
