    • 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
    • Looks promising then.  Well done   Dx
    • So a little update.  I sent a complaint to ico and have heard nothing. I just got the general reply email and that's it.  Sat twiddling my thumbs and thought about what I should do next. I searched for the CEO of Studio but then found that he'd left so as keep getting letters from studio about the arrears etc. I thought I'd email the David Twigg. Sent him all the bumpft and a copy of my original complaint and sars request.  Got no response. So didn't know what else to do. Then I thought I'd try through the financial difficulties option on the online form. One last try before I just give up and let them default me.  Then on the 5th June. I got an email from their customer services. That the items that had gone AWOL have all been cancelled. Nothing else on that email, so I had a look in an email account that I don't use anymore and there was an email from the customer service.  That they were sorry for the problems I've had for the last 9 months. That the sars info was emailed to me on 14/04, it wasn't I've kept all spam and deleted emails on that account, they have raised a complaint with their studio pay team regarding the issues, balance dispute, fee's and my credit file. They are hoping to resolve in 3 days but they have upto 56. They also said in regards to my other issues I have to raise a complaint with studio retail but haven't told me how I do that.  The sars info only goes upto the end of December 2023. It has my previous complaints on there but nothing after so I don't know how I get hold of that information. Luckily I've kept copies of every time I've contacted them. Every web chat or social media contact.  Apologies for the extremely long post but I wanted to add everything I could just incase.  I have checked my account balance and it's still minus 900 odd pounds but I'll keep checking to see if it's all cleared and on my credit file.  I'm hoping this is the end of the whole debacle and they close my account because I never want to do this again. Although it's been a learning experience.  Thanks to dx100uk for pointing me in the right direction. Much appreciated.

    • 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.

Hello everyone, i'm a bit new to this but i thought i'd let you know whats happening with me.

 

When i started looking into this bank reclaiming thing i was really only going to concentrate on an old account i had with Lloyds but then i realised i'd been charged £175 by Barclays.

 

I sent my first letter off and they responded yesterday with a blah blah letter about dealing with your complaint etc.

 

I have responded with a letter to say that i am taking them to court etc and they have another 14 days, so countdown is on to see if they pay up.

 

I'll let you all know..

:p

everyone does,

just think of this as a procedure, nothing else. follow it and you will be okay.

As things stand now you should be looking at your money in July/Aug.

Seems a long way off but it goes quite quickly.

in the mean time browse around the threads having a nosey and ask questions on the way.

by the time YOUR settlement comes through YOU will be advising newbies.

 

And visit the chatroom for talks about absolutely anything.

and I mean anything, lol

Ok, so now i need some advice.

 

I checked my Barclays bank account today and surprise, surprise they have put £175 in my account as a goodwill gesture.

 

So now what do i do..? :confused:

 

£175 is the amount that they owe me without interest and obviously without the £30 Moneyclaim.com court costs.

 

HELP!!!!

 

Do i carry on with my claim in the hope that i get the whole £198 back plus costs or accept this offer... I'm guessing i ignore the goodwill gesture, but i would like some advice from you more knowing people out there :p

 

Thanks everso

Ok , well i've been reading loads of other threads and although they all say to keep going right until the end, i can't help but think that they have paid me back the exact amount they own me.

 

So they haven't paid me the interest and obviously i'm out of pocket £30 for the court costs but other than that this is money that i didn't even know i was owed... And £145 would come in really handy - Newmarket Races on Saturday ;)

 

I haven't actually received any correspondance from Barclays re this money that is in my account yet, though i suspect i will.

 

How do i go about cancelling my claim with Moneyclaim.com..????

Hi, well done for winning your money back.

 

This is why I gave them a few days grace before sending my MCOL and my money dropped in to my account last Friday.

 

Again you were claiming less than £500, which, I had heard on the grapevine, they were settling without argument.

 

Sorry I can't help with MCOL as I haven't needed to go that far.

 

:D Enjoy that money!

Well done on getting your money back but as far as getting the additional £30 for MCOL I would give them a ring, you gave them plenty of warning that you would persue legal action, the fact that they missed YOUR deadline, is their problem, not yours, so I would say look you owe me £30 for filling on MCOL, as you did not credit my account in time, if I don't recieve this money then I will continue through the courts until I do!!!:)

Enjoy the races;)

Hi,

Do as Torigirl suggests.

but also get them to confirm that it is a settlement deposit.

If you stop proceedings they could easily withdraw the amount claiming clerical error nothing to do with your claim.

Get it in writing.

MCOL can be cancelled by phoning them and telling them you no longer want to pursue the claim. job done.

 

If you want to be a little more efficient, but not necessary use this:

http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/HMCSCourtFinder/GetForms.do

 

N279 Notice of Discontinuance.

 

Be sure before you act.

Hey, thanks to all of you above for your info.

 

I telephoned MCOL and they just stopped the claim, it was done instantly and v easily.

 

I feel really good that i got this money back - even without the £30 costs and anyway what's £30 at the end of the day - not many white wine spritzers at the races that's for sure! :p

 

I received a letter in the post from Barclays today which confirms that this is a full and final settlement and that the £175 is goodwill gesture etc.

 

But the above comment by CAGisforME has got me thinking, when i request my money back from Lloyds should i ask for £500 in the hope that they will pay out without a fight or go for the full £620..? :o

Hi SG

 

Glad you got everything sorted.

 

I want to be clear that I was referring to Barclays when I said "you were claiming less than £500, which, I had heard on the grapevine, they were settling without argument."

 

This was a rumour I had heard from various sources, including those from my (soon to be) ex-colleagues at BARCLAYS Bank.

 

I don't want you to think I meant all banks as I couldn't possibly comment on any other Banking establishment.

 

Just wanted to clarify.

 

(Oh, and if it were me, I'd be going for ALL my money back! ;) )
