    • Thanks Dave It's not too far away, about 8 or 9 miles, I will probably venture over on my bike if I can't think of a good reason to drive there again! I'll have a chat with Mrs GB_Joe tomorrow and see which shops they visited, I know M&S was on the list (had to try on multiple sets of trousers!) and they are actually in that bit of retail park. The uniform shop is across the way in the Meridian Centre, so probably not helpful to get them involved.
    • As they have failed to deliver their original PCN you will need to send them an SAR where they should provide that PCN. It should show the address they used . If it is not your current one that would explain the non delivery. If it was correct then perhaps the Post office messed up. A more cynical view would be that UKPC didn't send it so that you couldn't claim the reduction. It appears that UKPC have been there for some time  but I have been unable to find any pictures of their Notices.The leisure park itself is pretty big so while some parts maybe give 5 hours free parking other parts may have restrictions like permits. I haven't been there for years -I went  to Nandos and the bowling centre . I am surprised that they are now infested with UKPC as the place is plenty big enough not to require their dubious services. If you live not to far away it would help if you could get some legible pictures of their signs. Be carful to park in an area that doesn't require a permit and take photos of the entrance signs, the five hour sign and the permit only sign as well as any other signs that are different from the previous signs. Also if their is a payment machine could you please photograph that.

    • 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.

I've been trying to deal with Scott & Co for the past 6 months in regard to council tax arrears. These total approximately £1400 and I have offered to repay these at £50 which they refuse to entertain. I'm sure some of you will have experience of dealing with these horrific people!

 

I received a letter today saying they have executed a bank account arrestment and wage arrestment. Frankly I am terrified, does this mean they now have control of my bank account and wages? I have no idea what to do or how i'll be able to make my rent payments, repay other debts or live.

 

If anyone can offer any help or advice or even point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated

First you need to check court records to see if this is actually true.

 

If you had been taken to court then surely the court would have notified you both before and after. As you appear to be unaware of any action then it is possible you are being fed a few porkies.

 

Council tax is a serious debt though, not to be ignored. Just in case any action does follow, make sure you have evidence of your offers. Better still, approach the council directly with your offer.

Thanks, that's good news! I'll get in touch with the court. Would it be the sherriff court? Is it a case of just phoning up and asking or would I have to go in?

 

I'll send a letter to the council recorded delivery offering a repayment plan. I've also emptied my bank account this morning to stop Scott & Co getting their mitts on anything. I realise c tax is serious, I've just got myself into a bit of a whole after losing my job last year but I'm slowly dragging myself out of it. Mortgage arrears had to take priority over the council though I'm afraid.

Called Edinburgh SHeriff Court today, they don't have a specific record relating to me however, they said that the council generally process these things in bulk making them harder to pick up.

 

I've sent a letter proposing repayment to the council today, hopefully they'll accept. I haven't contacted Scott & Co, the last time I did that all I wanted to do was go to there office and strangle the life out of the arrogant swine I spoke to in their call centre.

Have definately learned that lesson - thanks HippyChick!

 

I'm still very concerned about this wage/bank account arrestment as the court couldn't tell me one way or another and I'm worried it will suddenly just appear (probably just after I'm paid).

 

Does anyone else have any experience of these?
