    • Have we seen your court bundle?   If we haven't then it's probably an idea to post it up here especially the index page and the witness statement so we can see if there is anything which might need adding or changing 
    • "Care to briefly tell someone who isn't tech savvy - i.e. me! - how you did this?" Its pretty simple although not obvious. You open the google maps app > click your profile picture > Click Timeline from the list > click today > choose the date you want to see the timeline from. Then you'll see your timeline for that day. Often, places you have visited will have a question mark beside them where google wants you confirm you have actually visited. You either click 'yes' if you have, or you click 'edit' to enter the actual place you visited. Sometimes, you'll see 'Missing visit' This probably happens if your internet connection has dropped out at that time. You simply click 'Add visit' and enter the place. The internet on my crappy phone often loses connection so I have to do that alot.   OK dx, understood mate. 
    • I have now been given a court date vs Evri, 4th Sept 2024. I have completed my court bundle, when am I expected to send copies to the court and Evri and should it be in hard copy or electronic? The Notice of Allocation states that no later than 7 days before the directions hearing both parties must send to the other party their final offers to settle. Does this mean I will have to tell Evri what I'm willing to settle? Rgds, J
    • Ok how about this to the CEO? I know it sounds super desperate but lets call a spade a spade here, I am super desperate: Dear Sir, On 29th November 2023 I took out a loan of £5000 with you. Unfortunately very early into 2024 I found myself in financial difficulty (unexpected bills and two episodes of sickness and the tax office getting my tax code wrong resulting in less pay for two months) and I contacted you (MCB) on 13th February 2024 asking if there was any way I could extend the length of my loan to 36 months. I fully explained why I was requesting this and asked for your help. I did not receive a reply to that email so I again contacted you on 7th March 2024 to advise you of a change in my circumstances which resulted in me having to take out a DMP and asking you to confirm that the direct debit had been cancelled. You would have also received confirmation of this DMP from StepChange but you did not acknowledge receipt of my email. I have only managed to make one payment from my loan but did try and contact MCB to discuss extending my loan, help etc.  I have now therefore fallen behind on several of my debts, yours included, and as a result you have lodged a Cifas marker against my name for "evasion of payment", which has resulted in me having to change banks, which has been an extremely difficult process because of the Cifas marker. I do not feel you have been fair or given me the opportunity to fully explain my situation to you before you lodged the marker against my name. I appreciate it is a business and you have acted accordingly, but I did try to make contact to arrange alternative arrangements and at no point, not even to this day, did I ever intend to not repay my loan. I cannot stress to you enough how much this has affected my mental health. I am having trouble sleeping and my existing health condition has been exacerbated by all of this. What I would like you to do is to please, please remove the Cifas marker and let me make arrangements to pay the loan back through a DMP.  Please sir, I am begging for your help here. I am not a dishonest person and I have never been in a situation like this before. I am desperately trying to make things right but this marker is killing me. Please can you help me? I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully,

    • 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.

Really I don't see it just a lot of disjointed statements but then even if I have overlooked it reiterating advice isn't an offence.

Mention all of what you have been told & has happened in your letter to the DJ

 

The staff in Northampton appear to be making a lot of 'mistakes' which all appear to be to the advantage of the banks & never to the consumer claimant

 

You should send a letter to the court manager pointing out the mistakes being made

I would hand deliver the letter you have to have in by Tuesday if this is at all possible .

In another post you say the defendents have written to the court saying it is settled ( you have been paid ) the courts gets this a lot and only you can stop your claim , that is why we advise you to inform the court in writing when your claim has been settled.As for them not taking your instructions over the phone , it could be anyone saying they are you so they can't do that .

 

Before anyone jumps as what I have said is posted x pages back , its late I'm tired and never read the whole thread so I am sorry if I am repeating anyone :)

Anyway what is your problem? Where is my advice at fault even if it is, like Janets, a repeat, & when did you become the arbitor on this site.

Pete,

Sorry if I am missing something but whatever defence DG has used, a copy should have been sent to Phil! Yes? No?:)

 

It would be useful to know what it says on the defence!

There is some doubt that they did put in a defence & only wrote to the court saying they had settled when in fact the OP has heard nothing.

 

The confusion appears to be because the court staff have told the OP different things

Just read the whole thread again and I am lost as to whats happened! Surely the courts don't accept DG or HSBC word that payment has been made? It should be down to the claimant to halt a case due to being paid?

I will leave this one to the mods and site helpers.

I really hope it works out for you Phil.

No they will accept notification, paticularly from solicitors, that a matter has been settled.

 

However the court appear to have given the OP an opportunity to advise the court that they wish to continue having not been settled as claimed.

 

The problem is that neither the court nor the OP have recieved the correspondence

hey guys honestly if i didnt have this board to post on my daily drama i would have thrown in the towel by now!...but i can always count on castlebest to bitch slap some sense into me!:D

ok phoned the court this morning on hold for what seemed longer than a lifetime!....DG have been in touch with the court manager or something and ammend the details on which they entered a defence so now itws just a normal time consuming defence rather than one that is based on rubbish!......that was a little bit of sarcasm by the way! my case is being transferred to some court in london i forgot the name will post it later.

 

I explained to the courts that in times like this when deadlines are critical it is unprofessional for the courts not to send you out letters detailing the next steps as me possibly losing my claim based on the fact that i wasnt informed i do not think is correct.

I dont know who but somebody posted on here that i should have looked it up online there is only so much you can look up on the online page it doesnt tell you EVERYTHING excuse me for not knowing the details of the court procedings in my head!

That would be me & I was trying to be helpful to others who rely on this site for guidance.

 

It has been stated time & time again on this site by it's founders & the mods that it's important to read as much as possible about claiming INCLUDING understanding the court process BEFORE commencing your claim.

 

Those that don't often find themselves having their claims struck out much to the detriment to the rest of us.

 

Anyway pleased to see matters are now sorted. Just remember to keep a close eye on whats going on & when you have their defence lets see it in case there are any other hidden traps

Hi Pliny, you say

 

"Those that don't often find themselves having their claims struck out much to the detriment to the rest of us."

 

Is that right as I have not read anywhere about people having thier claims struck out. I am interested in reading these cases. can you point me in the right direction for them?

Thanks, Freaky.

They are all over this site where members have made mistakes by running before they can walk.

 

I suggest you read the advice given by the founders & mods at the start of this site

Phil, there are many different people here, some can list the various legal elements and forms off the tops of their heads, some and I like to think of myself in this group just know what’s right and offer support, and many variations in between.

If I have to write a letter I have to read up on the legal stuff I can never remember it well enough to quote.

I’m sure pliny is trying to help in her own way, she just didn’t realise that although we have a laff and a joke we are actually quite good between us. And I don’t think she realised what we were talking about when she first started posting.

I don’t think any one of us would claim to be any more experienced or any better than any one else and that’s including mamy lattie we just work well together.

pete
