    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • 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

    • 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.

Unfortunately Thio, you will have to go through the whole ridiculous farce. They really should be spanked by the Courts for the waste of Court time.

We haven't got the money, so we've got to think!

hi all got 2 letters today from a AND l..1st letter about their review of the matter taking longer than expected as they need to obtain all relevant info to address my complaint they will be sending detailed reply shortly that came from laura cooke customer service centre, bootle. The 2nd letter from alison riley customer services manager bootle about how OFT suggests there may be similarities between the default charges on credit cards and similar charges applied to current accounts...they believe all charges applied according to terms and conditions of my account they have offered £495.50 as full and final settlement, my claim is for £1681.50 plus over £300 in interest plus costs so i think its time to send off letter of refusal, they believe this amount offered is the difference between the amount of charges and the amount of charges that would have been applied if the charge had been £12 which is the amount OFT indicate as reasonable in relation to credit card default charges. What does credit cards have to do with it i,m claiming bank charges SEND ME THE MONEY ALREADY:mad:

Hi

 

I've got this far with the A&L and they owe me almost 5K inc the interest and they offered me £1714 but when i took twelve pund off every charge it still came to more- so I sent of a letter and spreadsheet highlighting this and asking where they got htere figures from and I got a letter back saying they couldn't help me any furhter and a leaflet telling me about the Fianncial Ombudsmen- who was my next step as I live in Scotland and our small claims level is a lot lower than the English courts.

I'm now waiting to hear from the FOS.

Anyone out there had any experience of them and how quick they are or are they totally snowed under with all us claiming our charges back?

Hi thio

 

no I'm going for the full amount but I just couldn't understand why they were offering me £1714. So i double checked their figures and they were way off, even though A&L said that was the amount I could get back minus £12 per charge.

So not only did they swindle lots of money off me when i was poor they were still trying to swindle me out of a proper settlement. I am well and truly going for the full amount

got letter today signed by alison riley again and written without prejudice to any contention that the a and l may have for saying you do not have a reasonable cause of action against us or that you do not have a reasonable prospect of succeeding in any claim you may bring. along with a cheque for £615.50 which included the court fee my claim is for £1681.50 of course i tore it in half and returned it along with a nice letter of refusal. There was also the threat of closing certain customers accounts who have complained but if i accept the offer of settlement they will continue to operate the account if i accept the t and c,s of the account previously notified to me, well they can go ahead and close the account cos its been closed since 2004:p

they are saying that they will not refund charges that are for unauthorised overdraft £25.00 and paid item charges £25.00. the only ones they will refund the difference between £12 and chrge amount are on unpaid items i.e dd and cheques.

when doing the court bundle do i actually need to find the full text of all the cases and stautes and print out to put in the bundles or just print straight from the zip file and put in bundle as it comes:confused:

 

The bundle is "basic". If you think it's relevant to find more detail applicable to your claim, then fine but, I would say that, in the main, most of the info. you need is within it. Personally, I also included the Peter McNamara interview, BBC Commission report, Northern Ireland report, abbreviated Australian Penalty Report and various BBC articles, which I googled. Most of the articles I mention are within the Libraries at the top of the forum.

 

My bundle was well over 200 pages long by the time I'd finished adding to it.

received 2 letters today 1st from the courts to say that A and L have filed an acknowledgement of service on 12 june 2007 to defend all the claim. The 2nd letter was A and L defence from wragg and co, it says the defence is filed and served without prejudice to the defendants contention that the poc disclose no reasonable cause f action and should be struck out pursuant to the provisions of the civil procedure rules part 3.4 etc as the claimant has no real prospects of succeeding on the claim or issue and there is no other compelling reason why the case or issue ought to be disposed of at trial, suppose this is another tactic to deter me, etc its about 6 pages long, can it be put in my bundle if it says served and filed without prejudice? it says the poc against the defendant is inadequately particularised should i just send another schedule of charges to the courts and wragg ? i used the templates on this site and am pretty sure i did as i should. It goes on to describe the different charges and how much they are e.g paid item fee. It says that these charges are are not penalty clauses but administrative fees etc etc. Without prejudice they will refund and/or has refunded the claimants account part of each failed transaction fee to the extent of any excess above a debited charge of £12 per item, Is this their standard defence ?
