    • love the extra £1000 charge for confidentialy there BF   Also OP even if they don't offer OOC it doesn't mean your claim isn't good. I had 3 against EVRi that were heard over the last 3 weeks. They sent me emails asking me to discontinue as I wouldn't win. Went infront of a judge and won all 3.    Just remember the law is on your side. The judges will be aware of this.   Where you can its important to try to point out at the hearing the specific part of the contract they breached. I found this was very helpful and the Judge made reference to it when they gave their judgements and it seemed this was pretty important as once you have identified a specific breach the matter turns straight to liability. From there its a case of pointing out the unlawfullness of their insurance and then that should be it.
    • I know dx and thanks again for yours and others help. I was 99.999% certain last payment was over six years ago if not longer.  👍
    • Paragraph 23 – "standard industry practice" – put this in bold type. They are stupid to rely on this and we might as well carry on emphasising how stupid they are. I wonder why they could even have begun to think some kind of compelling argument – "the other boys do it so I do it as well…" Same with paragraph 26   Paragraph 45 – The Defendants have so far been unable to produce any judgements at any level which disagree with the three judgements…  …court, but I would respectfully request…   Just the few amendments above – and I think it's fine. I think you should stick to the format that you are using. This has been used lots of times and has even been applauded by judges for being meticulous and clear. You aren't a professional. Nobody is expecting professional standards and although it's important that you understand exactly what you are doing – you don't really want to come over to the judge that you have done this kind of thing before. As a litigant in person you get a certain licence/leeway from judges and that is helpful to you – especially if you are facing a professional advocate. The way this is laid out is far clearer than the mess that you will get from EVRi. Quite frankly they undermine their own credibility by trying to say that they should win simply because it is "standard industry practice". It wouldn't at all surprise me if EVRi make you a last moment offer of the entire value of your claim partly to avoid judgement and also partly to avoid the embarrassment of having this kind of rubbish exposed in court. If they do happen to do that, then you should make sure that they pay everything. If they suddenly make you an out-of-court offer and this means that they are worried that they are going to lose and so you must make sure that you get every penny – interest, costs – everything you claimed. Finally, if they do make you an out-of-court offer they will try to sign you up to a confidentiality agreement. The answer to that is absolutely – No. It's not part of the claim and if they want to settle then they settle the claim as it stands and don't try add anything on. If they want confidentiality then that will cost an extra £1000. If they don't like it then they can go do the other thing. Once you have made the amendments suggested above – it should be the final version. court,. I don't think we are going to make any more changes. Your next job good to make sure that you are completely familiar with it all. That you understand the arguments. Have you made a court familiarisation visit?
    • just type no need to keep hitting quote... as has already been said, they use their own criteria. if a person is not stated as linked to you on your file then no cant hurt you. not all creditors use every CRA provider, there are only 3 main credit file providers mind, the rest are just 3rd party data sharers. if you already have revolving credit on your file there is no need to apply for anything just 'because' you need to show you can handle money. if you have bank account(s) and a mortgage which you are servicing (paying) then nothing more can improve your score, despite what these 'scam' sites claiml  its all a CON!!

    • 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.

Last week on Thursday me and a friend went to Primark.

 

She asked me to get a sticker off another shoe which was 14 pound

I got it off the shoe and passed it to her.

 

She took the sticker of the shoes that where 20 pound and stuck the sticker ontop of the shoe and paid for them.

 

When we was on the way out a women in no uniform and no badge

came up to my friend grabbed her and dragged her a side.

 

She had a terrible attitude and told her to put her phone away and told her to come with her.

The security guard who was in uniform asked me if I wanted to come with her so I followed.

 

We were told to wait in a room in primark for around a hour

while the women who dragged my friend by the arm

was calling us fat and names to someone outside the room.

 

My friend asked her what was happening as we had been waiting in the room for a long time

and she told us we where being prosecuted and the police where on their way.

 

10 minutes to the shops closing time

2 PSCO's came in and started ripping into us calling us ****

and saying I am sly because I do acting and

 

told us we are being given a civil recovery and if we don't pay it the PSCO themselves

will kick our doors down and take items out of our house at the same value

and when my friend said she can't do that only bailiffs can

she started getting defensive saying she can do it herself.

 

I haven't recieved the letter about the civil recovery yet but what do I do when I get it?!

 

When my friend went out to get a refund on her card for the 16pound for the shoes

he flirted with her and then told her we are probably looking at 130pound?!

 

I am 17 with no income!!

Hi and welcome.

 

Unless they have video evidence of what occurred, this could end up as a he said/she said scenario.

 

What is of more concern is as you are under 18 (is your friend under 18 too?) is thaat RLP will initially write to you or your friend or both of you and if you fail to reply, they will then send a letter saying if you fail to respond, they will contact your parents.

 

To avoid this happening, a simple letter denying any liability to them and also to inform them that you refuse them permission to write to any other party.(send by signed for delivery to ensure they received it and keep the receipt) Once that is done, if they then contact any parent, you can have them for breaches of the Data Protection Act.

I would also make a complaint to the IPCC about the two PSCO's...

http://www.ipcc.gov.uk/complaints

 

This is one of my big problems with PCSO's, they have mainly been employed in menial employment, having been bullied throughout their lives so are now able to act tough, bully people around & take their revenge out on society.

This is almost all too bizarre to be real.

 

Did the PCSO's explain to you that you were being detained? Did the security inform you that you were under arrest? Why were you not taking to a custody suite? Did you admit anything to the security or PCSO's? Again it's all a bit bizarre.

 

Complaining to the IPCC whilst on paper a good idea will come to nothing. Personally I'd file or paperwork in the bin and forget about it. Nothing will happen now.

My mum knows what has happened but not about the fine as we are in financial difficulties. There was a camera pointing at me in the room but I don't know if it would of picked up the sound?

Okay - there is no "fine" only a court can impose a fine. What you will get is a glorified invoice. Follow everyone's advice on here and ignore it. File it in the bin and ignore any other letters they send you.

 

There is nothing more to add to this. No PCSO is going to come to your house, no one is going to come to your house full stop. It's up to you if you believe this, but it's right.

 

Have a nice life now. Don't steal, don't [problem] and move on from this. You got lucky. Congratulations.

I'm glad your mum knows. A problem shared etc...

 

We cannot even say whether RLP will write to you or not as your role was very minor and they may go after your friend for the full sum demanded so it is well worth pointing her to CAG.

 

They state that they will keep video footage as evidence of crime should the case go to court. If you want a copy of the video you will need to send a SAR to primark as the security staff work for them. RLP may have a copy and if so, you are entitled to a copy as part of your defence.

 

The end story is that if you are targeted by RLP, do not worry. RLP cannot take anyone to court. RLP may pass this fictitious amount to a debt collector who can also not take court action. Primark cannot be bothered to take action.

 

If you were to look at the RLP website, the last case that went to court was over 2 years ago. If Primark/RLP were so sure of themselves, more cases would be listed.

 

This is due to a case in 2012 where a retailer and RLP were soundly beaten in the civil courts.

If the store send RLP a copy of the cctv they are in breach of the DPA if they do so without your permission.

I bet all of this goes nowhere other than the standard letters from RLP. The PCSO was making a noise to try and scare you into thinking that this can come back anf haunt you- it cant. They have no powers other than those posessed by the person in the street.

If there is furhter police interest you will be entitled to see any evidence they have, even if they dont intend using it so those recordings will do the PCSO's no favours whatsoever if they actually exist by now.

When we was on the way out a women in no uniform and no badge

came up to my friend grabbed her and dragged her a side.

 

Primark has uncover security officers, Mainly just one. No badge is worn by the undercover security

 

We were told to wait in a room in primark for around a hour

while the women who dragged my friend by the arm

was calling us fat and names to someone outside the room.

 

There are two rooms that are used for holding people, in primark own managers office or a security room.

 

 

 

10 minutes to the shops closing time

2 PSCO's came in and started ripping into us calling us ****

and saying I am sly because I do acting and

 

told us we are being given a civil recovery and if we don't pay it the PSCO themselves

will kick our doors down and take items out of our house at the same value

and when my friend said she can't do that only bailiffs can

she started getting defensive saying she can do it herself.

 

You say the shoes are like £20, that won't stand up in court. The worst that will happen for a thief under something like 100-500 is a fine unless there a ton of evidence ect.

 

1) ask any member of staff of primark for their name, they will give you their first name as on their badge. (security is different)

2) Report any problems to a manager, depending on the case (you said you was called names) means that a primark manager will have to write a report on the primark system. This report is then view able by the head office. Any complaints write a letter or contact head office and they will pull up the report (if any was done).

3) If you were going to leave the store, all exits are covered by CCTV (can see the monitors as you leave above you) if you feel they used unnecessary force to stop you just complain. They should just ask you to come to one side if you have not left the store. If you leave the store then they can stop you.

If you leave the store and you have shoplifted, they CAN stop you. They can chase you down the street and use reasonable force to restrain you until the police arrive.

Renegade, only if they have witnessed and can back up that witnessing ie by cctv - an any persons arrest on suspicion alone is assault and unlawful detention.

 

OP how long did the PCSO's themselves hold you? Afaik a PCSO can only detain you 30 mins until a real policeman arrives.

 

It is time schools taught children their legal rights in a wide range of issues - most people for example a Security Guards have some sort of special powers or rights when in reality they have no more power than the drunken tramp sleeping in the street outside.

 

Plenty of idiots who attempt to use Any Persons Arrest without understanding its limitations and the responsibilities of using it have ended up with criminal records, fines and compensation orders even though the "victim" was it turns out guilty.

 

I think the famous one was the employer who believed an employee had stolen money - employer and co workers jumped on him, tied him up stuck on a sign saying Theif and marched him through the busy town centre to the cop shop.

I believe the criminal charges were assault, unlawful restraint/detention and possibly kidnap, the civil case cost the employer a shedload iirc to use the legal term :p

 

If you leave the store and you have shoplifted, they CAN stop you. They can chase you down the street and use reasonable force to restrain you until the police arrive.

the case you quote the bloke was caught red-handed but that didnt matter, the restraint and humiliation was enough to get the businessman done for assault and sued for the parading of the bloke down the street.

It is all down to what is reasonable and since the person was known to the accuser he should have just reported the crime and the police could then arrest for an indictable offence.

For anyone else interested but doesn't know.

The "thief" got a caution, the employer and his "accomplices" had charges dropped. But the employer paid £13,000 in an out of civil court settlement.
