    • 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.

Thank you. That means that you have dismissal rights and they have to be careful.

Obviously let us know what happens at the meeting but for me the most interesting thing for you in terms of compensation is the misuse of data by the manager of the shop.

That is very serious and we will be interested to see the result of the subject access request.

Make sure you keep all information safe

 

Also, do you know the name of the manager of the shop? Or any of the other staff

Hola, hello everyone

I tried to avoid saying this in a public forum but I'm a mental ill person and have struggled all my life. I'm not ashamed but was very quiet about it.

Today after having a bad episode of panic I went to the psychiatric and he was furious.

I'm not going to explain with detail but I had a lot of trauma, losses and fears going on that never affected my job.

He said I'm classified as a disable person because of my anxiety and depression issues plus and sadly I'm in the worse menopause, hypothyroidism and chronic pain ever.

Said he would love to see the headteacher dismiss me and sent me a sick note for 2 weeks,

he said he can happily give me one for another 2 weeks and like that till the end of the term because of the trauma exposed to me with her attitude.

Tomorrow I have my meeting

I'm terrified and scared but I have a new therapist, mediocre and help from the NHS,

I feel more positive.

Well done for telling us this. It must be very difficult to deal with and it must be very difficult to have opened up to us.

You are right not to be ashamed. There's nothing wrong with having these difficulties and it is ridiculous that having panics and anxiety is somehow more shameful than simply being physically ill.

Your therapist is right to be absolutely furious. The whole thing is really quite disgraceful.
Good luck with the meeting tomorrow. Try to keep calm, of course – take notes during the meeting if you can and certainly as already suggested, try and make a full account of what happened in the meeting as soon as you get out while it is all completely fresh in your mind.

Then update us.

Sorry for all the spelling mistakes!!! I'm actually a good teacher, just can't see the letters after crying for 6 days.

I wasn't going to play the mental illness card but I'm going to do everything in my hands to deal with this. 

I have some days when I can't even remember crossing the road or handling hot plates without noticing.

After I leave the school and routine my brain just shut down and its all fog and sadness with the most depressing thoughts and however I never took a day off in all this years.

I'm tired of telling her I didn't took anything from the shop and her accusations of me bringing disgrace to the school name. 

I'm exhausted all this week has been horrendous. If she wants to be a b*tch I'm going to be the mental ill person.

Thank you for everything 

BTW Savers dismissed the manager but I'm not going to stop, I'm after the business.

We will help you deal with the business.

Keep us updated and particularly give us a full rundown of the meeting tomorrow.

I wonder how come the business knew that the manager had done this. Do you have the name of the manager?

Also, when are you next seeing your therapist? Presumably you have told them everything about what has happened and about Savers. Let your therapist know that you may need a written report as to your condition and the effect upon you which has been caused by this data protection abuse

Yes I have the name of the Manager I asked to Savers for it. 

Therapist told me he was going to help me to fight my headteacher for emotional abuse and help with the Data protection case (my headteacher told me it doesn't apply to her because she's a headteacher and she can see any cctv she asked for)

Hi

Further to what you have stated that the Head Teacher states she can see any CCTV she asks for.

I assume she was specifically referring to Savers CCTV.

With the above you need to make sure you ask this question at your meeting and specifically refer to that store Savers and that you want this and the Head Teachers response noted.

Another question to ask is Has the Education Departments Data Protection Officer been informed.

As for the above she is absolutely incorrect as I have previously stated the only people outside that Savers shop that have a Legal Right to view that CCTV for your Scenario is the Police not any Head Teacher who thinks the are above the Data Protection Act 2018.

Another point on her statement is the Schools/Education Departments Data Protection Policy will NOT cover anywhere outside that Schools Property more specifically that Savers Store so again that Head Teacher had no right whatsoever to view that CCTV under the Schools Data Protection Policy.

You keep you head held high and it's easy for may to say it on a Forum and look after yourself

Oh almost forgot if you are only given their evidence they are relying on at the meeting you are within your right to ask for the meeting to be adjourned for say 15-30 minutes so you have time to read their evidence.

if this all goes right, you could be setup for life through compensation and never have to work again if you don't want too.

i can't say who but very personally i know someone that was accused of something sexual that never happened, it was a trait of their condition. 

that was 20yrs ago. they got over £300k out of the education authority for wrongful dismissal etc etc. 

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

I'm afraid that I disagreed to a certain extent with my site team colleague @stu007

it is not at all clear that the head teacher does not have a legal right to look at the CCTV. I think I have already suggested above that your Head Teacher may well have a responsibility to the safety of the children to at least acknowledge the video and to consider what is in the best interests of the children – even if it is contrary to your own best interests.
This is a difficult area.
On the other hand, by receiving CCTV, it now forms part of the school's collection of personal data about you and therefore they have duties to process it accurately, not to share it, to delete it at some point – but we will deal with that once we know the result of your meeting today.

What is absolutely clear though is that your Head Teacher should understand that there has been no finding of guilt and that the CCTV has been made available illegally and so any action that the head teacher takes should bear that in mind and should be proportionate.

I'm still trying to understand whether you have seen the CCTV footage and whether you have a copy. Do you know if the head teacher has a copy?
Certainly the business has acted illegally. Once we know the result of your meeting today then we will start to help you take action and you can be certain that you will receive some useful compensation.
I'm not at all sure whether I agree with my site team colleague @dx100uk that the compensation will be as generous.

 

Incidentally, how do you know that the shop manager has been sacked?

Sorry but it is not really possible to understand what you are saying about this meeting.

Are you talking about the meeting with your head teacher? What happened? You talked about somebody hugging you. Was this ahead teacher?

 

Do we gather that they are on your side?

Please can you give us a detailed account of the meeting.

We really can't understand what you are saying otherwise

Well done on returning to the fray more positive! Echoing Bankfoddder, this will make you stronger.

I understand your reluctance, but as you say: if they want to play hardball, then you've got to play the cards you've been dealt.

Incidentally, you shouldn't worry about suing the shop. In fact you wouldn't be suing the shop for data protection. You would be suing the head office/business and you should do it.

I would expect that the amount of compensation would quite reasonably amount into a few thousands of pounds

However we need to know the whole story
