    • This must be part of the new tactic from Evri.  They know they are going to lose. They take it to the wire and then don't bother to turn up in order to save themselves costs and of course they don't give a damn about the cost to the British taxpayer and the extra court delays they cause. This is a nasty dishonest company – but rather in line with all of the parcel delivery industry which knows that their insurance requirements are unlawful. They know that their prohibited items are for the most part unfair terms. They know for the most part that a "safe place" is exactly what it means – are not left on somebody's doorstep in full view. They know that obtaining a signature means that they have to show the signature not simply claim that they received a signature. They are making huge profits especially from their unlawful and unenforceable insurance requirement. Although this is less valuable than the PPI scandal, in terms of the number of people who are affected nationwide, PPI pales into insignificance. I hope the paralegals working for Evri are proud of themselves and they tell their families what they have done during the day when they go home.
    • Your PCN does not comply with the Protection of freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9[2][a] (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; The only time on the PCN is 17.14. That is only  a time for there to be a period there would have to be a start and and end time mentioned. of course they do show the ANPR arrival and departures  times but that is not the parking period and their times are on the photographs not on the PCN. They also failed to comply with S.9[2][f] as they omitted to say that they could only pursue the keeper if they complied with the Act. That means that they can only pursue the driver as the keeper cannot be held liable for the charge. As they do not know who was driving and Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person they will struggle to win. Especially as so many people are able to legally drive your car and you haven't appealed giving them no indication therefore of who was driving. Small nitpicking point-the date of Infringement was 22/04/2024. They appear to be saying that they can charge an extra amount [up to £70 ] if they have to use a debt collector. You do not have a contract with a debt collector so they cannot add that cost. You paid for four hours so it can only be the 15 minutes they are complaining about. You are entitled to a ten minute minimum grace period at the end of the parking period which would be easier to explain if the car park had been bigger. However if you allow for two minutes to park and two minutes to leave that gives you one minute to account for. Things like being held on the way out by cars in front waiting to get on to Northgate or even your own car being held up trying to get on to Northgate at a busy time. then other considerations like having to stop to allow pedestrians to walk in front of you or being held up by another car doing a u turn in front of your car. you would have to check with the driver and see if they could account for an extra one minute things like a disabled passenger or having to strap in a child . I am not advocating lying since that could lead to serious problems [like jail time] but there can be an awful lot of minor things that can cause a hold up of a minute even the engine not starting straight away or another car being badly parked as examples. Sadly you cannot include the 5 minute Consideration period as both IPC and BPA fail to comply with the convention that you can include that time with the Grace period.

    • Hi all, I wanted to update you and thank you all for your help. I am delighted announce that after the case was struck out due to no response from Evri, judgement was issued after I submitted the forms and I was just about to take it to warrant.  today I received an email from the claims department requesting my bank details to make payment for my full award. The process has been long since the initial proceedings  in January i must say your help and guidance has been greatly appreciated.

    • 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.

Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I got some advice from the site over the seven months it has taken to get to this stage. A million thank yous to all of you lovely folk. It started in August (I think, or maybe July). I got all the usual fob offs from [problem] and in the end got a court date, 13th Feb, 2007. No directions, though, so I asked your advice. You said (Gary I think) that I should phone the court, which I did. The guy I spoke to said I should anyway get the bundle into them and into [problem]. This I did at the end of January. I also wrote [problem] a letter, short and sweet:

 

Enclosed please find copies of the evidence I intend to rely on in court on 13th February, 2007.

 

As your clients have, as far as I know, failed to appear in court yet to defend such claims as these, I would like to know whether they intend to defend my claim.

 

If so, please let me have copies of your court bundle at your earliest convenience. If not, please let me know that they do not intend to defend my claim.

 

Yours faithfully,

ME

 

I was rather annoyed that I did all that work with the bundles as it cost a lot in time, effort and ink!!! But today I got a letter: (a lovely grey one on recycled paper).

We refer to the above matter and confirm that our Client will be settling the above claim by paying the sum of £304,72 inclusive of Court fees and interest into your bank account within the next three working days.

You are advised at this stage that by our client meeting your claim on this occasion, this is not to be treated in any way as an admission of liability. this is merely an attempt to resolve the matter amicably between the parties concerned.

We therefore trust you shall write to Swindon County Court to confirm that the claim has been settled once the funds have been received and provide this office with a copy of the letter for our Client's records.

Yours faithfully

 

[problem]

 

I intend sending a donation as soon as the money is in my account. Do not give up... it is long and tedious, but hey, we are all learning to be such good legal eagles!

Thanks Barty. I will gladly advise/support/ etc. others if necessary. but I have to admit I am not a computer boffin and struggle a bit with where to look for stuff, post stuff, what a thread is, what a post is. But despite all my handicaps with computing, I managed. It does not take Bill Gates or Einstein to get their money back.

Regards,

Romey

Oh Debs, thanks. Isn't it awful? What does bump mean?? (Hint... nothing to do with conception). I am so buoyed up by getting my little sum from my current account, I have just sent off the request for my Credit Card statements. No free time or fun for the LTSB custies! But I will make one tiny snow-woman. LOL!(?)

jcd34 - did the court give directions? If so did you send your bundle off yet?

Well done Romey

 

I'm just starting off with Lloyds TSB and like you am not computer literate - still I'm trying hard to learn. I must say all the helpers on this site are great, so patient and helpful.

 

Enjoy your victory and good luck with the credit cards - I have a few I'm going for too! In for a penny in for a pound eh!

 

Best wishes

Thanks Fighter, I actually replied to you yesterday but somehow pressed the wrong button so ... anyway. Yes, we all learn from this and gain patience, gratitude, tenacity etc. All positive. Also belief in the process. I guess each and every one of us has thought 'I bet I will be the first one they actually confront in court. Knowing my luck...' and other such negative, poor me, thoughts. Replace them with the knowledge that you will not be the one. Good luck with the process. Regards

I too had the letter. It was dated 3rd February, Sat!, and have not yet had the money. Phoned them today to ask when it will be paid and got a snotty jobsworth on the other line who was acting as their solicitor who said that he couldn't tell me when it was being paid. I said that it was due to be heard in court on Monday and he basically said so what! and to turn up at court on Monday! They have said they will settle but still expect to waste peoples time by going to court!!! I am so angry! They really do not give a toss about their customers.

I wonder why, if the letter said they would settle, and reminding you (how patronising of them) to tell the court, they say you have to appear in court? I haven't checked my account today so will do it now...no, the money is not there! B....r, maybe this is a string along? Here I go again with the negative thinking. Yes they are the pits.

jcd34

I didn't even get any directions about any documents, but the court said I should send them anyway. Yep, hundreds of pages of copying etc. Nobody said it would be a doddle, but worth it in the end. You will wonder what to do with yourself in your spare time when you haven't got this to do. I joined the gym!!

Regards to you both, and feel free to ask if I can help
