    • Thank you. You contacted directly with the parcel broker so your best option is to proceed directly against them for breach of contract. I hope you have read enough to understand that you will not be able to rely on the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Do you understand why? Have Parcel to Go giving you a reason for declining reimbursement? Do you have anything in writing from your customer which shows that they did not refuse delivery and which identifies the actual circumstances of the situation?

    • Perhaps you would care to read this and reflect on your continuing comparison of Israel to Nazi Germany Jugg    ALEX BRUMMER: How grotesque of pro-Palestine protesters to besmirch Auschwitz, the place where my grandparents died WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK As the son of a refugee from the horrors of the Holocaust, I can feel nothing but contempt for the ignorance, gross... My elderly aunt Sussie and cousin Sheindy had been teenagers at Auschwitz and Belsen but survived and are alive to this day. What they will make of the protesters who waved flags, heckled and chanted as Israelis took part in the March Of The Living – the annual walk from Auschwitz to Birkenau – I cannot imagine. The images now circulating of the protesters are indescribably disturbing. They can only bring back memories of those final moments Sheindy shared with my grandparents when my grandmother Fanya squeezed her hand and told her to lie about her age to avoid the gas chambers. Claiming she was older, and could work, meant that Sheindy lived, not died. The outrage perpetrated by Hamas on October 7 has brought back the most terrifying memories for these two women – memories of pillage, mutilation and starvation. The Holocaust, or Shoah to use the Hebrew word, was the deliberate, industrial-scale killing of Jews.  It is bad enough that pro-Palestinian and pro-Hamas sympathisers have chosen to steal the language of the Holocaust.  Any comparison between Israel's retaliation and the monstrous genocide of the 1940s is odious and anti-Semitic
    • Thank you JK2054 and BankFodder for your replies. The information requested is as follows:   My wife and I are sole traders supplying bespoke, handmade wedding trays and other items through our website. We do not sell on ebay. We had an order for two trays (invoice value £370) that were shipped on Monday 25th March. We used P2G as the broker and Evri as the shipper. We declared the value but did not take out insurance. As the trays were a present for a wedding on Saturday 30th March we checked the progress of delivery on the Thursday to see that there had been an attempt to deliver on the 27th but the driver failed to deliver as the customer’s gate was shut (customer informs us that the gates are open between 7am-7pm. We contacted the customer who informed us she had been waiting in all week and there had been no attempt of a delivery. Evri allege they attempted to deliver on the 28th & 29th. On the P2G web site on the 4th April at 14.17 it stated that the customer refused delivery. At 14.28 it updated to say there was a problem with the address and at 14.32 updated to say the customer had refused delivery. At 14.35 updated again to say it was being returned. Last entry was on the 7th April that it was being processed at the depot. We never received it. I have had six web chats with P2G between the 4th-30th April. On the 26th April, I had an offer of £20 plus cost of delivery (£6.72) from P2G which I rejected. During this time, I also contacted Evri that resulted in an email from Evri Customer Services (20th April) stating that they had lost the parcel. I replied requesting details of the attempted delivery but received no reply. After emailing Evri again on the 23rd asking again for the information I received a phone call from someone called Haleemah on the 25th who apologised and promised to send an email with a link to submit a claim form. I subsequently received an email with the link which only took me to a page that stated “Page not found”. After informing Evri customer services of the problem (to which no reply was forthcoming) a couple of days later I retried the link but it only took me to the Evri website. I believe that I have a good case against both companies but would appreciate guidance on which path to go down. I have read most of the information on this site, which has been very helpful and much appreciated, particularly the various court transcripts. I appreciate that this process is a marathon and not a sprint and am fully aware that I need to get everything in the correct order before starting on the legal road. I am sure this covers the current position but if further info is needed please let me know.  
    • Everything at small claims revolves around informality and common sense, there are no "special" ways to have to do things. The site manager's WS will be like yours and the one I linked to - just much shorter.  There need to be the introductory hearings about the case, the parties, etc., and the concluding Statement of Truth. In the middle just a couple of paragraphs where they say who they are, how they know you, and about permission being given by the landowner to use the car park. Superb.  I've added another section about the signage to the suggested WS sections three posts above. Yes, it's perfectly possible.  It'd be a good idea to phone the court on the 18th to see if they have paid.

    • 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.

Received letter back from Barclays today thanking me for my preliminary letter and telling me they aim to have an answer within four weeks. It then goes on to say if they don't answer in the four weeks they will update me then and will definitely file a full report by eight weeks.

 

Do I have to be fair and wait at least four weeks or I am within my rights once the 14 days has elapsed to take this to the next stage. Which is to give them a further 14 days before I file a court case online.

 

Also can someone tell me how I find my inital thread so I don't have to keep starting a new one each time I have a question or update.

 

Guidance required please.

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

I have successfully claimed money back from LloydsTSB and Natwst now so am trying to do the same for my wife with Barclays. I sent the preliminary letter off but filled out the 8% spreadsheet instead of the overdraft interest one. Firstly have I left myself open here and secondly do I need to change my next letter to include the correct spreadsheet.

 

They responded saying the normal they will look into it but don't feel they are being unfair. If I don't here in 4 weeks then they will definitely resolve within 8. I know I need to stick with my initial 14 days which is up tomorrow. So do I write letter before action and give 14 more days or a new letter expalining my mistake. natwest didn't pick up on it and paid after the preliminary letter.

 

I am confused!!!!

 

Any help appreciated.

Barclays sent a letter offering £700 out of the £1793 I am claiming, I shall of course be excepting the £700 as part payment and going for the lot. I only need give them 14 days still don't I.

Yes, it is your timetable just give them 14 days from prelim, then further 14 days after LBA and then file claim form, providing of course they have not settled in full.

 

Should send letter along these lines:

Yeah but I have already sent the prelim letter which is the one I got the offer from, so do I give them another 14 days to answer with a full offering then a further 14 days before letter before action goes or do I just give 14 days then send letter before action.

 

Also they should have responded by the 8th and I only recieved letter on the 12th Feb, does this make a difference.

 

I am slightly confused. Hope that makes sense.

I received part payment offer and sent letter back accepting as part payment etc. They sent on back saying that is only offer on table so I am write in saying I lodge my court claim now don't I???

 

And has the text you enter changed since the OFT ruling or is it the same old one. I have done this once before but still seem to need reassurance all the way and forget the process.

Submitted the online claim last week, so I am awaiting their response now. I am right in saying if they don't respond within the time frame then they are given another 14 or 28 days to respond. If not then I win.

please keep to the one thread for each claim this is for your benefit as you will recieve much more informed advice if people can see at a glance what you have done so far

Hiya Badger,

It's my understanding that they are given 14 days from when they are deemed served by the court. You should have received your notice from MCOL instructing you of service date and when BB have to respond by. You then click on judgement, if they've not responded, but if they have then the merry dance continues :-)

Claiming £590 in unauthorized OD fees, and £100 in interest from Barclays.

 

Remember "He who pays the piper calls the tune" well I've paid Barclays far too much so bloody well dance!

They will do.

the time will come when you think you have won by default then you are told by MCOL that they have entered a defence at the very last minute,

stalling tactic.

Hi,

 

I submitted my online claim on the 15th March, the 14 days is up now and I have not heard from Barclays or the court yet. Does this mean I have won or does this mean I need to chase the court up and see what's going on.

 

Is it normal not to receive any paperwork at all from the court either way?

 

Confused about what to do.

BB

If their deadline fell on a weekend or bank holiday they are given the next working day to respond. It may also be delayed because the defendant has filed an acknowledgement of service, which gives them an extra 14 days to respond.

ALSO,

Responses should be filed within 14 days of service of the claim. However, if Barclays need more time than this, filing an Acknowledgement of Service extends this total time for filing a response to 28 days from the date of service.

If Barclays wish to file an Acknowledgement of Service, they should do so within 14 days of service of the claim form otherwise judgment may be entered against them. They may still be able to file an Acknowledgement of Service between 14 and 28 days from the date of service,

Recieved letter from the court regarding the OFT test case stating my case was on stay and would have to wait to see the outcome of the test case.

 

As I am so close to the court date is there nothing that can be done, it does state the "either party may apply at any time, by application on notice in accordance with the Civil Procedure Rules 1998 Part 23, to lift the stay". Firstly what is this part of the rule and what do I need to say if I want to apply.

 

Is this worth doing? And how do you do it???

 

Help appreciated.

Do you suggest I wait for the OFT hearing to be heard or can I ask for case to be heard as it was meant to happen in August. Had letter saying I would have to wait and case had been put on hold until hearing finished.

 

Has anyone had success getting their case heard after recieving this letter??
