Not sure what to do next damaged package ( parcelforce )

Re: Not sure what to do next damaged package ( parcelforce )

I haven't flicked back through this thread, but taking into account court fees I suppose you are looking for more than £200 in total.
Up to you if you want to accept less.

Any idea how Parcel Force calculate the damage at £100?

Re: Not sure what to do next damaged package ( parcelforce )

Hi Shane,

Parcelforce have offered a settlement of £100. Would you like me to settle for that, as a full and final settlement between all the parties involved, and forward a cheque to you for that amount, after their cheque has cleared?

Or would you prefer to continue to court? I am happy to follow your instructions but cannot give you legal advice or be responsible for the outcome of the court’s decision. It might be an idea to take legal advice because if I settle with Parcelforce that disables your ability to claim against Parcelforce for negligence and the probability is that you will lose the case against me (in my opinion anyway!).

I wish you had sued Parcelforce because the case would of been heard in your local court and the probability is that you would of won quite easily.

He still doesn't get it, does he? That the contract was between HIM and Parcelforce, so HE could sue them, however, there was no contract between YOU and Parcelforce since you didn't ring them asking them to go and collect the parcel from the seller and deliver it to your address, HE made the arrangements, so you couldn't have sued Parcelforce.

It's up to you whether you think £100 is enough, you need to consider how much it will cost you to repair or replace the item as well as the court fees you paid.

Has he shown the evidence that parcelforce have paid this 100 quid we read that they refused compensation before because the packing was insufficient why the change??/

Re: Not sure what to do next damaged package ( parcelforce )

Or is this a little bit of guile to get off with only paying £100?

He so doesn't understand the way contracts and the court work.

Re: Not sure what to do next damaged package ( parcelforce )

TBH I find it odd that Parcelforce should be prepared to pay £100 so easily when the pics show quite clearly that the item wasn't suitably packaged. A company like that would have a number of clauses to limit their liability for damage in transit, if they paid out £100 every time someone sends out an item that gets damaged because of poor packaging they would no longer be in business! It sounds like an attempt at a settlement without admission of liability.


When it comes down to it, it doesn't matter if the money is being paid out by Parcelforce or he borrows it from Wonga! Personally I shouldn't think £100 is enough to cover the cost of the item & the court fee.

Hi Des

I think he only insured it to the value of £100.00 through parcel force in total

Thanks

Hi Parrot
I don't think it is repairable to be honest its a replacement jobbey and your looking at around 250 -300 to pick up a second hand replacement of one of these.

Cheers
Shane

Hi there

this has come off the back of another letter he has sent to parcel force which he informed me he was doing I have no evidence of any offer or anything I guess he would bring this to court with him.

Thanks

Good morning.

This is a no option order " Both Parties Must Attend" failure so to do could lead to judgement against the non attender of the claim will be struck out.

Your choice of course but the order is clear, if they judge is minded to he could find you in contempt.

Re: Not sure what to do next damaged package ( parcelforce )

As Nem says if you wish to continue you must pay hearing fee and attend court.
Your other options are to come to an agreement with defendant (he offered £100 ?) or discontinue the action.

Hi Des

Ok no probs so that's fine on the payment to the court that's not a problem. So if I am reading this correctly the date I need to attend is the 10th of September and 23rd of October ?
Need to compile all Doc's and submit by the 18th of September ?

Thanks

Re: Not sure what to do next damaged package ( parcelforce )

Personally, I'd be tempted to attend and ask for LIP expenses too (they're £19/hr if I remember right?). This guy's taking the Pi$$ and it'd be a matter of principle for me :tinysmile_twink_t2:

That's correct, but also read up on the rules the court referred to.
