    • Good morning all, No further communication with P2G so now submitting my small claims action. Would be grateful for any feedback on my description of claim before I submit later. The defendant in this case is Parcel2Go Limited The claimant sent a parcel using Parcel2Go Ltd as a broker and Evri as the shipper containing two handmade bespoke wedding trays to a customer with tracking number P2Gxxxxxxxx. The parcel was never delivered although the defendant stated that three attempts had been made to deliver the parcel.  The claimants customer waited in for four days to receive the delivery but no delivery was attempted. There was no communication with the claimants customer.  Despite many web chats and emails the parcel was not delivered and on the Parcel2Go website it stated that the customer had refused delivery. This was not true as no delivery had been attempted.  I was informed that the parcel was being returned to me but after waiting three weeks was informed by Evri that the parcel was lost. I was offered compensation of £20 + shipping fee which I refused and after sending Parcel2Go a Letter of claim this was increased to £75 which I also refused. It is clear that the defendant is responsible for the loss of the parcel as they did not act with reasonable care and skill when handling the claimants parcel, contrary to section 49 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015. The claimant therefore seeks £370 in respect to the value of goods plus court costs. I thought it might be better to use the CRA rather than the Supply of Goods and Services Act as we are sole traders - is this correct?
    • No new development, I'm afraid. The last update I received was a letter from the court, advising that the case had been transferred to Croydon County Court.

    • Hi, I am aware there’s been few threads about this already but just wanted to confirm information on my case. I was with Village gym last year(2023) on initial 6 month usual contract they do, I lost my job and due to that I couldn’t afford to pay for gym nor I had any motivation to go to gym at that time so they sent me arc phone message in September 2023 that I owed them £140 so I paid them back on instalments in 2 months time.  Then I started receiving new years deals in December 2023 and I decided to give them a call but they never mentioned anything about 6 month contract or anything, only that it would be monthly rolling contract and I paid them for 2 months and then I realised both months they charged me £59 instead of £38 they offered me on the phone when I mentioned that I am still student, even though before I was paying £43 a month in mid 2023. I spoke to gym entrance lady and she said I should give a call to gym on the phone number so I did and whoever answered said they’ll pass my info to manager and he will give me a call back in 24 hours, of course no one called me back so I called again and they said same thing. And of course once again no one got in touch with me so I got tired of them charging me more than they should and decided to cancel my direct debit and stopped going there as I got new job with rotation shifts which is not good for me as I cannot visit gym after I finish at 10pm every second week.  And now in April I received arc message saying this :  Also they have my old flat address where I used to live. What is the  best thing to do for me please? Thank you!

    • 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.

Thanks for the tip, but I wonder why we can't post it in this thread?

As I'm new here, not sure how to post new thread. I've tried the way you advised, couldn't find it there.

 

Thanks again.

Badnews again,

 

I would never advise people to "just pay them" The baillifs think they are above the Law ..... they are not.

 

I am fighting them as far as the Law allows.

 

They are the **** of the earth and play on the most vulnerable people in society.

 

I have paid them so far £1500 for the first and only visit they have ever made... and still the fees increase.... no more. I refuse to pay them another penney.

 

I WILL FIGHT THEM.... IF ITS THE LAST THING I DO

 

Madmax, All credit to you for fighting them and I genuinely wish you luck. These people however are used to people taking them on. They didnt bat an eyelid when I said that I was going to take them to court and that I had been to see a solicitor that I had appointed. They do not care and just keep piling on the fees. It will take months to even get your case heard by someone at which point your bill will have doubled and in the meantime you will get them banging on your door at all times of day (dont know if you have wife / kids etc). How many people do you think actually get the conclusion that they want?? and even then do you think that Equita give a damn if one person has a win when they have multiplied thousands of tickets by 500% for the own back pocket? Perhaps my advice was slightly weak but I still say cut your losses, get on with your life and just make sure in the future that you pay the tickets when they are £30!!!

Well I've just read your thread - hey that rhymes!:)

 

 

And if I understand this correctly the pcn's were non-compliant and therefore unenforceable in the first place.

 

 

So maybe they are just trying it on, lets face it they have nothing to lose.

 

 

I would write back to them (recorded dely) saying just that, and asking them to please stop harassing you.

UPDATE

 

Letter from Bournemouth Borough Council:

 

Dear BerryN

 

Road Traffic Act 1991

 

PCN No: ....... & .........

 

Bournemouth Council can confirm that both cases are closed.

 

Yours sincerely

 

(Sorry to jump in Chris, I'm not stalking you, honest!)

 

I read this thread as the OP having 'about 19' tickets that the bailiffs were originally chasing. It turned out that the warrants were unenforceable due to being out of time. At the end of the earlier posts, the council sent the above letter, for two of the tickets. The bailiffs returned all the orders back to the council.

 

And in the new letter, they are referring to fifteen outstanding fines.

 

And they talk just about County Court...

 

so could it be case of they've knocked off the two they agreed to write off, lost a couple, but still want the remaining 15? And as they can't go down the usual route of issuing a warrant because it's too late, they're going to small claims court for these?

 

If so, I've got 2 thoughts...

 

if they can write off two, could they be 'persuaded' to write off these ones? Precedent and all that.

 

but if they take it to small claims, surely they will win because the judge would say the original tickets were in fact issued and should therefore be paid. Can't think of a defence.

 

During the previous posts, the OP sent a letter asking for copies of the tickets - did she ever get them? They might be unlawful and can be fought on that basis.

 

Also, there was mention of the out of time declarations being filed. Was / were these ever done?

 

It appears TomTubby was involved in this one - perhaps she can throw some more light on the finer details.

Thank you - coming from you, I will take that as a compliment ;)

 

I think you might have hit the nail on the head in your post about them trying it on. It's about that time of the year when the auditors come in (have dealings with local council at work and have just had a letter from them asking for lists of outstanding invoices etc) so maybe someone thinks they can score some brownie points by getting these paid / tidied up.

 

I think I would be trying the 'you've cancelled two, so cancel the rest' route.

Bournemouth agreed that the 2 were out of date so cancelled them southampton just ignored me completely! never replied to anything i sent them including when i asked for the tickets but were always happy enough to chase me...

I have just read your thread in its entirety and it appears to be multiple parking tickets resulting in a steady stream of bailiff attending. Your thread indicates tomtubby is already handling your case, has this come to any fruition? Your frustration suggest it hasn't. If you need to knock this on the head then give me a very brief gist of the current position.

Basically, I sorted them all out with TomTubby a while back and they went away. Now I am getting letters from Southampton City Council saying that I owe them money for the tickets and they will issue warrants etc. Strange as they have already had warrants for them and they expired last year.

 

I wrote to Southampton City Council at the time like I was told explaining that the warrants had expired and Equita were no longer dealing with me etc etc. I also wrote to Bournemouth Council at the same time. I had a reply from Bournemouth but never anything from Southampton.

 

This seems to be their reply.

 

What do I do now??
