    • 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
    • In the SAR, I received the original application, lots of computer print outs, yearly statements from 2013 and the new emails regarding my complaint. They sent me a £50 cheque after I chased them for the SAR after the 30 days. They said they was waiting for me to respond to an email (which I never received) before sending the SAR
    • classic P2G. I'm sure dianne and Lesley will pop an email to you at some point.

    • 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.

HSBC bank has this week sent a letter to my previous address, when I wrote on 23/4/07 giving my current address and personal circumstances asking them to consider writing off a debt that was defaulted in 2002 and passed to DCA in 2003. A CCJ went through in Jan 07 for £3,303.

 

Problem is the person at my old address is my brother and he opened the mail. To add insult to injury the letter that I now have in my possesion is also addressed to my late partner who died in Dec 06. I had held a joint account with him back in 2002. So you can imagine I was extremely upset, annoyed and embarresed by this. Does anyone have any idea on what I should do or how I should start making a complaint about the situation.

Hi,

I have no idea about the rest of it, but your brother performed an illegal act by opening the letter.

Truely sorry about your partner, this must be a traumatic time for you which is not being helped by either the bank or your brother.

 

I hope someone will read what has happened and be able to help.

Trading Standards have been fantastic to me in the past! Well worth having a chat with your local officer IMHO.

 

Trading Standards Central - Trading Standards and Consumer Protection information for the UK

 

littlesally is correct about your brother opening your mail, it comes under the Postal Services Act 2000. But I guess your brothers little indiscretion is the least of your worries at the moment.

 

Regards & good luck, Dave.

Breaches of the DPA are handled by the ICO.

If the letter that went to your brother was addressed to you in your maiden

name, then it would be understandable that your brother assumed it was

meant for him.

The bank are guilty of the breach of failing to keep records accurate and up to date.-Principle 4. What punishments and compensation they may make

I couldn't say, but it would have been distressing for you at the time.

They have a section on their website to log complaints-it can be found on the

drop down menu, though it may take a couple of weeks for them to respond.

Hi

Thanks I have taken a look at the ICO site and have completed a complaints form, I am sending a letter back to HSBC Centre Manager who sent out the offending letter, and then will advise them of making a formal complaint when I find out who I should write to. :)

Just a thought and not trying to hi-jack the thread but a couple of questions here.

 

1, I assume that original summons and subsequent correspondance were sent to your old address. Did your brother return them as R.T.S?

If so, (question to the more knowledgable) would the court, if it received the summons back in such a manner, still go ahead and issue judgement anyway bearing in mind this is a valid reason for a set aside at a later date.

Hi,

I have had letters before with no return address on the back and no way of knowing who they are from. For the purpose of returning the mail, what is the positon on opening such letters and if it is illegal, what are you supposed to do with the mail if you cannot return it.?

Of course I will pay you everything you say I owe with no proof.

Oooh Look....Flying Pigs

No The matter was being dealt with by the DCA Intrum Justitia & Legal GPB Geoffrey Parker & Bourne Solicitors took the court action they wrote to me at my last address for 2006, which is not the same as the address from 2003. I am looking to have the CCJ set aside I was not able to defend my side as the case was heard on 10th Jan a matter of weeks after the death of my partner I could not face going to the court at that stage.

The unopened letter should be handed back to the post office, or the address crossed out and RTS (Return to sender) written on and put in a letter box.

Royal mail would then open and return it.

It is a criminal offence to open or tamper with mail that is not addressed to you and any such mail received should be marked as either "not known at this address" or "return to sender" and handed in to the post office.

 

Staff in the post office and have been told that they are to report anyone to the police if they have opened mail not addressed to them and then handed it in. You will be supprised at the number of people who do this!!

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent :)

Thanks for the responses

 

I have checked out various bits of advice and have found out that complaints should or can be made to

 

The organisation who caused the breach

 

The Information Commissioners Office - ICO – Information Commissioner's Office helpline 01625 545745

 

If not satisfied with outcome of your dispute / complaint you can take the matter to county court. The ICO provide a leaflet explaining the process this can be obtained from the web site. The leaflet also provides a letter template to write to the organisation involved, to let them know that you intend to issue proceedings if the matter is not setttled.

I was not a customer at the bank my accounts were closed in 2003. I did not think I would need to inform the bank of a change of address. Would anyone send notification to all places where you previousely held accounts to let them you had moved - I don't think so.

 

A managed loan was written off by the bank and passed to DCA who wrote to me at my current address. I have spoken to ICO & they advise to make a complaint if I have no satisfactory reply from the complaint to the HSBC
