    • I've completed a draft copy to defend and will post up here for review.  Looking over the dates and payments this all stemmed from DVLA cancelling in Feb , whereby I set up a new DD in Feb hence the overlap, why they cancelled when I paid originally in Jan I have no idea. Anyway now stuck with pending court action and a suspended licence . I am also firing off a letter to DVLa recorded disputing the licence revoke
    • Thank you both for your expert knowledge and understanding. You're fighting the good fight by standing up for people like me and others with limited knowledge of this stuff. I thank you. I know all my DVLA details are good. I recently (last year) renewed my license, and my car's V5 is current with the correct details; the same is valid for my partner. I'll continue to ignore the love letters 😂 and won't let it bother either me or my partner.  I'll revisit this post if/when I get a letter of claim.  F**k ém.
    • Please check back later on today for a fuller response and some edits
    • 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?
    • No new development, I'm afraid. The last update I received was a letter from the court, advising that the case had been transferred to Croydon County Court.

    • 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,

Last August I was not able to produce a Railcard at Luton I got an Intention to Prosecute letter. 

I had a digital EMR ticket from St. Pancras to Luton.

Barriers were malfunctioning at Luton so the officer had to scan tickets individually.

My ticket had a 26-30 Railcard which I was not able to produce. I was just panicking at this point.

I told the officer that I must have had this on my other train apps (Tripp, Trainline, EMR) as I do everything digital, he asked me to send a screenshot via a link he provided, printed on a piece of receipt like paper.

I went home reinstalled all these travel apps (offloaded on a full storage iPhone) and to my horror I have found no railcards at all.

Im new to the UK and I rarely travel via train as I live and am based in Luton.

Looking at the situation it truly is my fault and Im so embarrassed this happened, out of my sheer stupidity.

My mental health has been wack since this happened and Im thinking I might end up in jail because of this. 

I'm not sure what to write on my letter other than the truth - that I apparently had no railcards at all and was an honest mistake. 

Also the same night as I was panicking I just bought a 26-30 railcard. Obviously that would not be valid at the time of travel and they would know this. 

What do you guys think I should emphasize on my letter?

I have read through some forums/solicitor pages online and I dont want this to go to court or progress further,  I know my response will be vital.

If just tell them I unknowingly did not have a Railcard and apologise - and highlight that there was no intention to travel without one - is this enough for them to prosecute me still? 

By the way this was the offence in the letter for context:

Details of Offence:

·       That you on 12 Aug 2023, did enter a train for the purpose of travelling on the railway, and upon inspection at Luton (LUT); did not produce a valid ticket entitling travel.

 Please your advice would be greatly appreciated.  

Thanks x

There is now way whatsoever you will get a custodial sentence for something which is a petty offence (not petty for you I realise, but in the grand scheme of the law it is a petty offence).

The worst you will get is a fine.

Hopefully you won't even get that if you follow the advice of the regulars here.

 

We could do with some help from you.

simply reply to the email address as you have here.

you made a genuine mistake, and have now rectified the situation.

be honest and truthful, short and brief, but grovel and ask for an out of court settlement.

we don't jail people in the country for an innocent mistake.

If you want to post up the letter you propose to send, we can proof read it for you.

What the rail company need to see is that you show remorse for what you did and that you understand the seriousness of travelling without a valid ticket well enough that you won't do this again.
