    • So if the breach occurred say Dec 2017 (first missed payment) and the default notice was issued Sept 2018 and the claim was issued 7th June 24 the claimant will of course be arguing it is within the limitation period (by 3 months)
    • Yep, I would  have brought up the other things like asking for their contract and receiving no response etc. but the mediation phone calls were rather short. Evri just said the contract was not with them (i said 1999 act response etc.) and the goodwill offer thing. Whole process took about 10 minutes in total. Seems like they don't even want to negotate in mediations anymore. "they're only given a certain amount that they can agree to in mediation per day" I mean its hard for me to say if thats the mediator paraphrasing or aa direct quote from evri I will look through that thread and share what I find, also for what its worth I also have everything I made for the previous claim WS and bundles etc. that I can tweak for this parcel, since it did go almost all the way to court and is a virtually identical case. that + this new stuff you shared above should be helpful to me
    • If I haven't referred to it before then please check out this thread another case where the claimant contracted directly with Packlink for a courier delivery service carried out by Evri. Please read this thread very carefully and eventually you will get to a point where the claimant – our OP – discovered some interesting terms and conditions and has referred to them in his case. He incorporated these into his witness statement and was given judgement – not on the basis of rights of third parties but on the basis of direct responsibility. I would suggest that use the witness statement as a model although we will want to see it before you file it off. When you find the particular post with the witness statement, please can you post a link to it here as well as a copy of the witness statement because I don't have the time to look for it at the moment and the thread is rather long. However it is very important to you and you should go through it very carefully indeed. We have applied for a transcript of the judgement and hopefully it will be along in six weeks or so. As soon as we receive it we will make it available on this sub- forum.
    • Yes they are criminal charges. The law requires you to stop/report if "...owing to the presence of a mechanically propelled vehicle on a road or other public place an accident occurs by which— [injury or damage to a third party or their property is caused]. "I would be disinclined at this stage to offer anything more than you do not believe any such accident took place.  You could provide a brief description of the altercation in an attempt to explain why another party might be making these allegations. I know it's a silly question, but are you sure that you did not collide with anything? Could you have mistaken hitting something for the other party thumping your car? Could it be that you passing closely caused him to damage something somehow?

    • 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.

Things just seem to be getting from bad to worse for me on a daily basis.

 

I sent off prelim letters to Halifax on 24th April. For some reason I thought I sent em off on the 27th, and was wondering why I hadn't had a reply.

I was ablout to sent a LBA letter wheen I double checked the date.

 

I DID in fact send it on the 24th April by RECORDED DELIVERY.

I decided to check to make sure it had been signed for and that I am within my 2 weeks.

 

WHEN to my ****ing horror I have discovered by phoning the post office that it has in fact GOT LOST.

 

No wonder Iv had no aknowledgment (not that I thought I would anyway!!), they havent even recieved it.

 

It hasn't come back to me, so SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE HAS GOT MY BANK DETAILS!!

 

I am so p****d off I cant begin to tell you.

 

Iv got proof of posting , but thats all, and apparantly all I can do is get an N1 form from the post office and claim the money back for the recorded delivery!!!!

 

WHERE IS MY LETTER!!!! WHOSE GOT MY BANK DETAILS!!!!!

 

ITS A DISGRACE . so BEWARE OF THE RECORDED DELIVERY SERVICE.

Guest ed/b

I had a similar problem with my recorded mail, Ive sent 3 recorded letters one being the very first letter reclaiming charges this was sent 1st march, ive had a reply to this letter so i know it was recieved, but royal mail do not have a record of this. also afew days ago had a similar situation where royal mail could not trace my letter(this actually being real important one declining there offer) I contacted halifax myself and got confirmation that my letter was recieved. I think royal mail are having problems with updating there system by the look of things. hope it is just an error that has happened in your situation and your letter is where it should be

 

good luck

I have no alternative but to re-write a new prelim letter and begin yet another 14 day wait.

I intend to carry out an investigation as to the whereabouts of my original letter.

 

Obviously recorded delivery isn't safe and reliable , but what alternative s do we have??

 

My main concern here is the fact that someone, has got my account details etc.

Hi Lulu,

 

I've just had my full claim paid back into my account on Wednesday, £1,600+, without any further corresponence from halifax. I've read a lot of threads that halifax have changed their tact, but does that matter?? As long as you stick to the timescales and use the correct templates and wording from this site then you will get your money back!

 

I was 18 days into MCOL with acknowledgement made by halifax with their intent to defend. They obviously do not want to do that at court as what they are doing is illegal and immoral!!

 

Stick with it, YOU WILL WIN!!

Hi Lulu just found your thread, re the charges, the halifax did the same with us, they just sent us a list of charges we sent a prelim off and they responded within fourteen days.

It was the usual, complaint not justified, so the LBA goes out tommorow

good luck with your claim

Good luck with your LBA . I have got to write another prelim and send that off. But I dont trust the recorded delivery service now.

Lulu, dont woory so much about the recorded delivery not showing as being signed for. It dosnt mean your letter is lost, in fact it was probably delivered without problem. I used to work for the Royal Mail and the procedure when a delivery of recordeds and specials are made to a company is different to when it is to a private address. They will probably get hundreds of signed for items every day so each one wont be signed for individually, the stickers are all entered onto long sheets and then only one signature is taken forthe full total. These 'should' all then be scanned individually but this dosnt always happen but it does not mean your letter didnt arrive.

'IF' your letter was lost the Royal Mail would not be able to trace it anyway, the best thing to do is ring the Halifax to see how your claim is progressing. (Dont let them know that you are checking if your letter has arrived or they may tell you they didnt recieve it as a stalling tactic)

Thanks 1stlifeline.

 

What if I do that though and they genuinly havnt recieved it? Do I play my face and pretend they are lying to me or do I just send another prelim or the LBA??

 

This is driving me bananas!!:-x

Guess i will have to wait until Monday now anyway to phone them, so I will keep you posted.

Well after all my latest kerfuffle regarding the royal Mail not delivering my prelim letter, things have changed.

It appears that Halifax DID in fact respond to me on the 27th April. I found the letter and had totally totally forgot about it!!!!

 

Halifax must have signed for it as part of a bundle and not individually. They got it so that all that really matters.

Good job I didnt sent another prelim letter.

 

My hubby reminded me that they had responded by saying my claim was being investigated and they will let me know of the outcome in 4 weeks.

 

I argued , and swore blind that they hadn't, THEN I found the letter!! So Hands up it was my fault!!!!!!

 

ANYWAY I phoned the Halifax yesterday and asked how my claim was progressing. I was told that they have until the 27th May to reply to me , and that I will hear something by that time.

 

They have just over a week to cough up.

Do you think I should still send a LBA???

Wait until the 14 days are up.

You have to be seen to be doing the right thing, especially now with the court going in favour of the bank - which I believe was down to poor wording.

Do everything the way it's all set out,

Ignore THEIR timetable - you are steering this boat now. You sent prelim 27/04/07 right. Then you can send LBA now, give them another 14 days to respond and then file either MCOL or N1. If you are claiming benefits you can claim exemption or remission, whichever applies.

 

I have debt problems and 2 years ago I went to CCCS (who quite often appear on BBC advising on debt matters) and they put me on a payment plan. They contact your creditors and arrange for the interest these companies/banks etc to be frozen. As I am now claiming my unfair charges back I hope to reduce my debt mountain sooner rather than later. They can be found on the www.

 

Hope these 'phone calls stop soon. I hate harrassment by these big corporations. Who do they think they are? After all, you now have hundreds of friends. I don't know if I am allowed to make this offer but if you want to PM me with your charges and applicable dates I will work out the 8% for you as it starts from the 1st charge and stops when you file at court, when you then claim so much per day.

Thank you Sallysas. I sent the prelim on 24th April and they sent me a letter on the 27th April saying they were investigating my claim.

 

I have already contacted the cccs and they have sent me copies of my income and outgoings and told me to offer token payments to each of my creditors, and to send them all a copy.

I have done this, but the phonecalls keep coming despite this,, asking for full payment.

 

Thankyou for your offer, it is very much appreciated. I will pm you tomorrow evening.

I will send them a LBA tomorrow.

This is getting nerve racking now, it looks like they are going to take it right to the bone.

 

Thanks again.

Hi lulu,

Don't think of it as nerve racking, think of it as when the fun truely begins;)

Once you commence court proceedings they know you mean business, their ears prick up to attention, and before you know it (unfortunately, usually after a lot of waiting) a nice fat chq arrives on your doormat, and low-and-behold it's victory dance time:D

I was wondering - How do they actually pay?

Do they send a cheque through post, or do they put the money directly into your account????

The money will just turn up in your account. They dont bother to tell you. So that is why its advisable to always keep checking.
