    • Yes I have read to ignore anything unless it says Letter of claim  I was just updating stating what I’d received and was asked to upload it  they can keep writing 
    • Steady on, that’s almost as blunt as my response I’m just not sure the OP is going to get the answer / “nuanced response” it seems they were hoping for ……..
    • My mind is a blur so i cant recall exactly what the judge said at the end, but he mentioned that he would be making an order for Evri to make payment to me. I wasn't sure if the court order will also be provided to me, either by post or email - if anyone can shed some light please?
    • Agree with everyone here it's bang to rights. Looks like you just slightly jinked left in order to go right. Ultimately, your time saving attempt is going to cost you as I don't think you have any grounds to appeal. I'd just pay the charge and chalk it up to experience.
    • Thank you everyone!  thought to share some points from my experience in court today that may help others who are taking Evri to court: The judge sets out how the hearing will go and how each party should behave; while i was certainly feeling anxious/nervous ahead of the hearing (and I'm sure @jk2054 may have also observed this), the judge really does try to put any non-legal persons at ease; refrain from talking to the other party and instead speak to the judge if you have any questions/responses; the judge and the advocate spoke about tort of negligence - i wasn't sure how this applied to my case but the judge was questionning the advocate about this so i chose to stay out of this; the judge made reference to a historical case of Donaghue v Stevenson which established a duty of care; the judge observed that some of the points in Evri's witness statement by george wood needed cross examination but george was not present today for questionning; While i was claiming 8% interest, the judge pointed out that is the upper limit and that today, savings accounts give 4-5%. I therefore opted for 5% interest which was agreed to by the judge and the advocate; above all else, ensure you know your court bundle and have any notes to help you refer to specific sections - it helped me to structure my answers to the judge/defendant's queries, and point to specific evidence where i was asked to prove e.g., the value of the item. @honeybee13 - yes, will confirm when payment is received. I have emailed the Evri.claims email with my bank details and also provided them after the hearing to the advocate. @BankFodder message received and i am replying to it

    • 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.

sending in the court bundle seems to work a treat!

so, if you are game - you can ask your judge for a draft order with a cover letter and if he agrees you will both have to submit court bundles but it brings everything to a much quicker conclusion if he grants it.

 

read about it on post one of the new - 28 day maybe no aq thread.

Hiya Pete

 

No nothing yet, I received the letter saying that it was being transfered to Ilford County Court and that the AQ was being dispensed with and a form that tells you how to setlle out of court.

 

I rung the court to be on the safe side that I didn;t have to do anything and they said that no, the judge will write to me with the next move

 

And so far - not a dickey bird!

Cor am reading all these posts this morning and lots of people are getting offers.......am very pleased for them - but it is also upsetting me that I have nothing yet and it's been months and months (excuse me throwing my toys out - probably cos it's monday too)

 

Anyway - have just called the court again and they have such a backlog and it has gone into the judge and I should hear by early next week, I am guessing with a court date......

 

What's next? Will have to spend today having a read and seeing what I have to do....am scared......

a draft order sent to the judge and a letter to dg stating this could be helpfull but its upto the judge if the draft order stands if he agrees your case will jump up the queue a little and maybe settle earlier.

 

others can advise you on the pro's and con's of a draft order (i sent one with no reply as yet).

 

i recieved an offer on the day they defended but it was way low i think dg/hsbc are starting to settle more claims early so they dont have sucha back log

 

so i wouldnt worry about it just stick to your schedual you will get there in the end.

Hi Kerry,

You will just have to wait and see what the Judge decides now, I know how you are feeling weve all been there!

He made decide a date, or may go with direction hearing if he does decide either of these you can then try to speed things up by asking him to consider the draft order which is forcing D&G and you to send your bundles in early, but proberbly wont have to as you should get an offer.

I had to wait around 2 weeks for the judge to decide how he was dealing with my case so I think you you are nearly there now!

Ok - am excited. e-mail like this to Kate

 

Dear Kate,

Please find attached a copy of the draft directions that I have submitted to the court dealing with my case.

I know they will in due course inform you of this, but as a mater of courtesy I am informing you of my actions in advance. I have decided to submit the enclosed directions as a way of coming to a speedy conclusion to my claim. I am hoping you will acknowledge this as an attempt to resolve my claim without the need for a court hearing.

I am willing to stop all court proceedings relating to my claim number upon receipt of £2300.00 in full and final settlement of my claim.

The amount presently being claimed is 1786.00 in charges, £504.40 8% interest and court costs. Totalling £2410.40 to date of court action 13.04.2007, plus the daily rate of £0.049 until judgment

With a view to settling this as mentioned above, I would be willing to accept £2,300.

If you agree, could you arrange for this to be paid directly in my bank account held with your client HSBC Bank PLC within the next 14 days

I will not accept any form of negotiation via the above means, but purely for you to communicate your acceptance of my proposal.

I can be contacted on my email address above and also via telephone on 020 7 986 8974

With kindest regards,

Kerry Potter

I know - initially it was so it happened quicker but it is taking just a bloody long anyway

 

I have just done it for my friend and he didn't even have to do the MCOL he got an offer.

 

Great for him - but Grrrrrrrrr.

 

Still - it makes you feel better when you're doing something eh?

Also aswell - I made the error of letting Excel do the adding up and not checking it.....so a few of the letters were not totalled correctly although the main charges are always the same....

 

Oooh fingers crossed. Will be on here today helping too so it take my mind off it......

i made that mistake too on my n1 form tho so the claim is £25.00 more on the n1 than on the schedules didnt realise until starting to nudge so just letting it ride they wont turn up anyway and if the judge asks i can explain the difference (as hsbc owe me £75.00 more than im asking for anyway) and if the judge would like i would pay the correction fee and adjust the claim to suit meaning hsbc would be paying me more money.

 

but leave it be for now wil get payed out before court anyway.:D
