    • Before you start this claim you need to have a lot more confidence in what you're doing which means that you need to understand the way forward in the principles involved more thoroughly. We will help you and you will probably get your money back but this is a self empowerment forum and so you have to do your bit as well. Please will you spend at least the next couple of days reading through the stories on this sub- forum. Try to understand them thoroughly. We have lots of stories very similar to yours but even those which are not similar, have principles in them which apply. In particular you need to read and understand the information in the pinned topics at the top of the sub- forum. I know that you have been reading around here for the past couple of hours but it needs a lot more. You aren't in a huge hurry. Wait a few days before sending a letter of claim and also that needs some amendment as well. Come back here when you've done your reading and then we will have a look at your letter of claim and help you to refine it Also, please tell us the value of the laptop. Was it properly declared as a laptop – and was the value properly declared
    • Unsure what would be classed as appeal I first contacted the applicant then IAS. I am not aware I could appeal again as Bank state I was informed that is news to me. I would have to look through the paper work, I apologise I forget so much due to my caring duties wish I had quality time to get so much done. Will try and look tomorrow, appreciate everyone's time and input.

    • Hi, I've been reading the invaluable advice on this forum and reading about the problems with Evri and lost delivery of items.  From what I gather the initial steps after having exhausted every's own lost item claim process is to draft a Letter of Claim, I think it is called and to register with the government Money Claims.  I have got a login for Money Claims and have made an initial stab at the letter but I'm not certain I have got it right. Am I right to assume that having exhausted Evri customer service's claims process and having received the denial of any compensation because the laptop I was sending is on the non-compensatory list that my next step would be to send the Letter of Claim to them? Let me provide some basic details which I hopefully have addressed in the letter. I purchased a laptop through Amazon.co.uk which a business in Belfast sold refurbished laptops through.  They had a 30 day money back guarantee for a full refund if you have any issues with the laptop.  I have the invoice from Amazon showing the purchase.  On 27 April, 2024 before the end of the 30 day period I used their ParcelShop (inside a Tesco) to send the laptop back and have the tracking reference mentioned in the letter.  As mentioned in the letter there was they advised they could not give me or sell me any insurance because laptops are on the non-compensatory list so I just paid the normal delivery cost.  It was scanned as leaving the ParcelShop on 29 April and the tracking has been like that ever since.  After a 28 working day Evri claim process they gave the expected response that they could not provide any compensation and simply could not proceed with my claim. I was hoping to get some advice on whether I go ahead now and email this to Customer Services straightaway and should I send a hard-copy to the Evri address as well?  Or are there any steps I have missed out on first?  I believe 14 days is the reasonable period of time for them to respond so if I were to send it tomorrow, for example 12 June then I should expect a reply by 26 June, is that correct and fair?  And assuming they don't reply with a full refund then I would then go down the government Money Claims site to proceed with that? Sorry for all the questions, I want to make sure I go about it properly.  I'll continue to read through other cases on here so I can get an even better handle on the process. I attached a LOC, happy for any edits or updates that will make it even better. Thanks so much for anyone's help! Regards, Matt Evri letter of claim.docx
    • The date was 3 June. Get on MCOL now. The legal principle is that, even if you defence is late, if the other party hasn't requested judgement, then your defence takes priority and is accepted. You might be in time. When I say now I mean now.  Recently we had someone who was nine days' late and this was pointed out to them at 5:30pm.  They faffed around till 11pm.  When they went on MCOl they saw that judgement had been entered at 7pm. Every minute is vital. File the below standard defence if you still can - 1.  The Defendant is the recorded keeper of [motor vehicle]. 2.  It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3.  As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance.  The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner.  Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim.    4.  In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5.  The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer.  6.  The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety.  It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • 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.

Okay. :) I've given them a ring today as my summary of charges hadn't been received on Friday. Spoke to Andy who said he'll hand it over to Rachel and get her to ring me back. He originally told me he'd get her to ring back if they hadn't received it but I insisted that she rang me back to confirm if they had or hadn't.

 

The last day for them to defend is the 7th of March so I have just over a week of waiting left before they have to defend.

7th March - If they acknowledged on 14th Feb then surely they have till 14th march to defend? or am I missing something here?

 

You are one day ahead of me and I was thinking they had till 15th March to defend mine which was acknowledged on 15th Feb. (they have 28 days right?)

Okay.. after getting very motivated by all your successes, I feel like I should be doing more to get DG solicitors so annoyed with me that they want to get me out of the way and my claim sorted.. :) So, at this point (waiting for them to defend) is there anything I can do to get myself on their radar, so to speak? Like pestering emails/calls, if so, what would I actually say? Or is that stuff best left until AQ time?

I've sent my summary of charges and they've confirmed they received it.

Thanks - I already have the phone numbers listed, but looking for something semi-worthwhile to follow up with at the moment as I can't think of anything that won't make me sound stupid to call up / email and say to them. :rolleyes: Just want to pester them!

my post was a bit abrupt earlier - keyboard wasn't working so i just used a cut and paste.

 

how about on monday a little (once you get through) "i was just thinking - you have so many claims that are much larger than this one - wouldn't it take the pressure off if some of the smaller ones were pushed through" (yours less than or just over 1k?)

or make it a little more porfessional looking and e-mail the same thought.

 

or, how about - is there anything i can do to help you to expedite my claim?

 

 

blah, blah, blah!

how about -

how is the weather in birmingham -give me my damn money!

hehe good suggestions! :D Thanks, that's great - just the kind of idea I was looking for. I think I will start with the 'is there anything I can do to help you to expedite my claim' emails on Monday. It is only for £950 yes - so pennies really! :p

Sent the following email off to Rachel this morning - will send the same off to the rest of them today/tomorrow. :)

 

Dear xx,

I am aware of the high volume of claims which you are dealing with at the moment, so is there anything I can do to help you to expedite my claim?

 

Kind Regards,

Me

 

Only 5 days left until they have to defend!

Not heard anything back from them, surprise surprise. :)

 

Now.. My defence deadline is Friday, and I doubt they're going to file before that, so if they don't, what is the normal response. Am I right in thinking I should contact the courts? I'm assuming they'll give the standard +7 days or something similar. What should I be asking the courts if I contact them though?

 

Thanks. :)

Hi Katteh

 

I am much in the same stage as you at the moment and I too want to speed things along and putting myself on the DG radar like you. So against everybody's advice (sorry Lattie/Netty/Crusher) which is to be PATIENT, PATIENT, PATIENT and not annoy poor over-worked DG, I will actually drop them an email tomorrow.

I am at the point where I just want it finished now cos it's been dragging on long enough so I will settle if they offer me something decent. So I got some advice from a lawyer friend of mine and have drafted a letter to DG, which I think is more than reasonable and not confrontational at all :

 

WITHOUT PREJUDICE, SAVE AS TO COSTS, SUBJECT TO CONTACT

 

To whom it may concern

 

Further to my email to Deborah D'Aubney on Tuesday 5th March, as I have not had a response I have sent this to all of you which I hope will reach the person dealing with my particular claim.

 

I have a claim that has been filed against HSBC for unfair charges to the amount of £***** inclusive of court costs of £120.00 and your defence is due next week on the 14th March.

 

I think we all know that HSBC are in the wrong and there has been much publicity about the banking practices in question. Indeed there are hundreds of claims going through each week which says a great deal about HSBC's case.

 

As I mentioned, your defence is due next week, following which we will need to complete an Allocation Questionnaire. These procedural steps mean further costs for both parties, and as set out in my claim I will be seeking to recover all my costs from HSBC. I am prepared to take this all the way as I strongly believe in my claim as do thousands of others also going through the same process. However, in the interests of saving us all time and money, if HSBC would like to revise their original offer and make me a new, more realistic offer closer to the figure claimed for then I would consider settling out of court before further costs are incurred.

 

I am aware of the high volumes of claims you are processing at the moment so I trust you will find this a welcome and reasonable proposal to conclude this matter as quickly as possible.

 

I look forward to hearing from somebody soon.

 

It wont do any harm I think. Though at the moment I hear that DG are not answering any calls or emails at the moment so I think we will both be getting on the with AQ stage soon. Good Luck!

Thanks for that. The only problem is, my claim is for less than £1000 so I can't claim that I'll be saving them any money by not filing an AQ, as I don't have to pay for it. But I do think they should get my claim over and done with so they can deal with some of the bigger ones. :p

I wouldn't be happy with anything other than full payment though, that's what they want us to do, get tired of it dragging on then settle for less. :mad:

katteh - then perhaps you'd like to send a similar letter and your idea would be - wouldn't they like to just pay out on yours - a smaller than average claim - just to get it off the books... one less claim to deal with.

and as stated a lot in the last 2 days - we are now thinking too much contact could be counter productive - and are advising much less contact - letting them get on with matters at hand - like offers. good luck.

My advice would be to hold fire for a day or so, it is not uncommon for them to submit their defence at the very last minute. If this happens and you've entered judgement against them then this will be overuled and they will be able to apply for a set aside which will only delay proceedings further.
