Has anyone had to sign a Legally Binding Declaration for DPD lost parcel?

No. But if it's genuinely missing and you're not playing them for fools why wouldn't you sign it?

Surely it depends what it’s legally binding them to.

I'm going to take a wild guess here, and it's that if it turns out after an investigation they in fact did get said parcel and are claiming otherwise, there will be repurcussions.

Well that would be fraud as goods/money was obtained under deception, that's already a crime so why would anyone have to sign a declaration?

The repercussions exist already, they would be prosecuted.

Yes it would. And the form would be used as the formal legal declaration from yourself that the parcel was missing. Is it really that complicated to comprehend?

Your post I replied to is phrased in such a way as to sugesst that repercussions are contingent on the form being signed, hence my reply.

Thanks for asking, there are three things I find complicated to comprehend.

Why you can't form cogent and cohesive sentences.
Why you don't see my reply as being valid in reply to your post.
Why you are now getting angry, as this situation has come me about due to your own inability to communicate thoughts clearlry.

If there is anything you're finding complicated to conprehend let me know, if I can be arsed I might reply.

You still understood my post due to context, whereas your post can't be construed the way you wanted due to ineptitude. Not the flex you think it is.

My post clearly made enough sense for you to understand it and reply did it not? And then try to belittle me by criticising grammar, whilst simultaneously making several spelling mistakes. The irony of which is beautiful. You can be disabled and an ar*ehole, the two are not mutually exclusive.

This is getting more common now.

It is an effort to combat fraudulent claims.

Not really sure what a legally binding declaration is going to change.

It's already fraud to claim you haven't received it when you have.

In law that could be true, but lots of people do seem to think it's not wrong to bullshit about a parcel going missing. The declaration is probably from some MBA type who tracked the numbers and found that X percent of people mysteriously find it once faced by having to sign a paper and over a massive business that is a step worth doing.

It is already fraud, but a lot of people don't realise that. There has been people openly admit on here that if a driver leaves in not a great safe space, they'll claim a replacement. They've advised others to do the same knowing they have the parcel.

When pointed out it's fraud they argue back that it isn't. Apparently the courier companies deserve it!

I'm sure it customers have to sign a legal document,, rather than send an email complaint, they'll think twice about submitting fraudulent claims knowing the can be prosecuted.

It's just to scare off the chancers who are putting in false claims by making it sound more 'official' than it actually is. In reality, fraud is fraud...but you can bet that some people have decided against filing a fake lost parcel claim when they see the words 'legally binding', even if the reality is, you're just as done either way - they'd still need to prove you lied, and if they can do that you're caught, regardless.

In signing, you're confirming under penalty of perjury, that the parcel never came into your physical possession or the possession of anyone you know.

It is a standard legal step known as a Denial of Receipt or a Declaration of Non-Receipt Online, retailers and couriers like DPD use this form to legally protect themselves against fraud.

Because the GPS tracking or delivery driver photo shows the parcel was technically left at your property, they require your formal signature before they can legally register it as stolen or lost and process your refund or replacement.
