    • Hi. Could you post up what they've sent please so we can see what the charge is? Cover up your name and address and their reference number. HB
    • I've looked through all our old NPE threads, and as far as we know they have never had the bottle to do court. There are no guarantees of course, but when it comes to put or shut up they definitely tend towards shut up. How about something like -   Dear Jonathan and Julie, Re: PCN no.XXXXX cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea that you actually expected me to take this tripe seriously and cough up. I'll write to you not some uninterested third party, thanks all the same, because you have are the ones trying to threaten me about this non-existent "debt". Go and look up Jopson v Homeguard Services Ltd, saddos.  Oh, while you're at it, go and look up your Subject Access Request obligations - we all know how you ballsed that up way back in January to March. Dear, dear, dear - you couldn't resist adding your £70 Unicorn Food Tax, you greedy gets.  Judges don't like these made-up charges, do they? You can either drop this foolishness now or get a hell of a hammering in court.  Both are fine with me.  Summer is coming up and I would love a holiday at your expense after claiming an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to your deafening silence.   That should show them you're not afraid of them and draw their attention to their having legal problems of their own with the SAR.  If they have any sense they'll crawl back under their stone and leave you in peace.  Over the next couple of days invest in a 2nd class stamp (all they are worth) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above

    • 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 know...when I received the AQ I didn't realise I had to send in a list of charges to DG, otherwise I would've done it straight away...phone Julie on : 0121 455 2701 - it's another lady's voicemail, but Julie answered and gave me that number as a contact.

dear smiley, kathryn, steevo and anyone else, yes, it's a stall - the longer they don't deal with you the longer you have to giveup, die, move to alaska, whatever! i stick by my original advice - given freely and often on this forum - when you getyour acknowledgment - send dg a copy of you breakdown. when you get you aq, ring dg and ask if they have received your breakdown. let them know you will be filing "shortly" (even though i tell people not to file until the last minute).

if, hopefully, you were to get an offer just before the aq is due and you accept it - contact the court and tell them you have accepted an offer but the money isn't in yet so could you please have a delay on the aq deadline. they will do it and you won't have to file - but don't halt the action officially until you have the money.

maybe you didn't get your offer sooner because you didn't send a breakdown - they will use any excuse - and of course if it gets to the aq, they have no reason to make an offer until closer to the court date - it sucks but that's the way it is - they only offer when pushed, prodded or forced by the court. hope that helps you guys. if you haven't already - email, fax, snail mail or dance your charges over to dg.

You definately need to send your charges, although I sent mine back in Dec, when I followed up on it thye said they had not recieved them so I sent them again, by fax, and within 48hrs the offer arrived. Also I have been phoning daily to see if there is anything more they need from me, it pays to stay on top of them.

 

Good luck

  • 3 weeks later...

what about the extra 100 for the a.q. you need to get that back as well. have you been holding out on us - how did you get it from colin - it should have come from dg. and paid straight in?.... did they offer and you accepted or did they just sneak it into your account - i'm dying to know - and it will help me help others in the same place as you. give details pleeeeeeeze.

congratulations on finally getting it, job well done - now just want to know how you did it?

and, get that hundred - they owe you it - it is yours - just ring or write and tell them you won't halt the court action until you receive it.

I was in Turkey last week and my partner received the letter from DG to say they would pay. She forgot to add the £100 on for the AQ and agreed to the original cost. I received a letter back off DG saying they would pay it into my bank within 7 days, they paid it in on Saturday morning. Funnily enough, a direct debit went out, came back as there was no money in my account, £2,440 went in and they charged me £25. Can I still claim for the £100 AQ charge then?

if you haven't signed anything - did she sign the acceptance letter - kind of funny position if she signed it for you if it was your claim - but i'm thinking just post a letter or ring (but then you have no proof), saying you are sure they meant to include the 100 for the aq filing. they really try it on don't they - don't know if it's intentional or uselessness - but they really do screw things up. try to weazle the hundred out of them - i hope you do (tell them you are going to take it up with the court as you don't feel that it is fair play to short you by that amount - whether or not you have halted the claim with the court - doubt you've had time - so play on it!
