    • 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
    • In anticipation of lodging my court claim next Weds 1 May (14 days after advising P2G that was my deadline for them to settle my claim) I have completed my first draft POC as below: Claim Claim number: xxxxx Reference: P2G MAY 2024   Claimant xxxxx   Defendant Parcel2Go 1A Parklands Lostock Bolton BL6 4SD  Particulars of Claim The defendant has failed to arrange for the safe delivery of the claimant's parcel containing a 8 secondhand golf clubs (valued at £265) that was sent to a UK address using their delivery service (P2G Reference xxxxx). The defendant contracted Evri to deliver the parcel (Evri Reference xxxxx) and refuses to reimburse the claimant on the grounds that the claimant did not purchase their secondary insurance contract. The defendant seeks to exclude their liability in breach of section 57 Consumer Rights Act. The secondary insurance contract is in breach of section 72. The claimant seeks reimbursement of £265, plus P2G fees of £9.10, plus postage costs for two first class letters to P2G of £2.70, plus court fees, plus interest. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from xxxxx to xxxxxx on £276.80 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £xxxx   Details of claim Amount claimed £276.80 I look forward to your thoughts and comments guys! As ever, many thanks - G59    
    • Hmm, that's strange how they got my email then.  I assume the below is ok to send to DCBL, Nicky?  Hello, I am writing regarding our ongoing dispute and the upcoming court claim reference xxxxxxxx. To ensure fairness and transparency in our communications leading up to the court hearing, I request that you use postal mail exclusively for all further correspondence related to this claim. Please refrain from sending any communication or documents via email. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions or need clarification, please feel free to contact me via postal mail at the address provided above. Yours sincerely, xxxx
    • In the SAR, I received the original application, lots of computer print outs, yearly statements from 2013 and the new emails regarding my complaint. They sent me a £50 cheque after I chased them for the SAR after the 30 days. They said they was waiting for me to respond to an email (which I never received) before sending the SAR
    • classic P2G. I'm sure dianne and Lesley will pop an email to you at some point.

    • 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.

Well after my success first time round, I'm now claiming back from September till now. Another £500 quid. I've sent prelim and LBA and here is the reply:

 

Thank you for your letter about the charges on your account. I have now carried out a full investigation on your behalf. I'm sorry you are unhappy with the charges and I understand you would like these refunded. I can confirm the charges were applied correctly, as you had insufficent available funds at the time. As we have previously refunded charges as a gesture of goodwill, I am unable to agree to refund any further.

I appreciate your feelings on this matter but we are satisfied that the charges do not contravene the Unfair terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 or common law. We also comply with the OFT, in dealing fairly and openly with our customers.

 

The OFT annoucement was in realtion to Credit Card default charges and not overdraft default charges or other products, such as Bank Accounts. This means our Tariff of Charges continues to apply.

When opening your account you were provided with information detailing the T&C's. W ehave also sent you regular updates and Tariff of Charges, which details the amounts of our charges. I have enclosed a further copy for you.

 

To avoid further charges, please ensure there is enough money in your account to cover direct debits and other payments made. I would also recommend checking youtr balance regularly.

 

You have asked Abbey to provide a breakdown of how our charges are apportioned. Abbey are not obliged to provide the specific information you have asked for. Our charges are not out of line with other financial institutions within the UK and are outlined in the T&C's of your account.

 

Please be assured I have carried out a full investigation for you and I hope you feel I have offered a considered and complete response to all of the issues you've raised. I will keep your file open for 8 weeks and if I don't hear from you within that time, I will assumed everything is resloved and will close your file. If you remain dissatisfied though, the leaflet you'll find within this letter explains your rights and how to take your complaint further.

 

If you remain unhappy with the response form the Complaints Department, you have an ultimate right to refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

 

Yours sincerly, Gerry Kane Senior Customer Relations Manager.

 

 

Looks like its time to file a court claim again!!!

Bank charges: Abbey won in 2006, Halifax won in 2006, Capital One won in 2006.

Update on the case: Abbey were due to file their court papaers, witness statement etc by 4pm on the 13th. They didn't. This morning, I got a letter from them dated the 12th offering me £50 on a claim of £750. I don't think so....have I not won anyway seen as they didn't file the papers in time? What should I do about this letter? Thanks

The papers were their witness statement etc. I phoned the court and was told i would have to wait until the 27th when it goes back to the judge for his decision. Should I write to Abbey and say thanks but no thanks for the £50?

Update:

The 50 pounds was applied to my account as a gesture of goodwill. The Judge gave Abbey a second chance to file their witness statement. It was due to be filed on the 22nd of August. Abbey still didn't file so I rang the court and they told me to request a Judgement by default!!

So yet again I won!!!

Just waiting for my cheque now!!

Thank you Abbey!!
