    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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.

Hi, I would be grateful for some help with the following situation regarding Restons Solicitors.

 

I have not had any contact with Restons until two weeks ago when I received a phone call from them at my place of work.

I was not in the office that day so a colleague passed the message on.

I didn't recognise the name and the message didn't say what it was about or that they were solicitors, so I didn't do anything about it.

 

On Thursday last week the same person called my place of work again and the call was put through to me.

The woman said she was from Restons but didn't say they were solicitors.

 

 

She asked me to confirm who she was speaking to and I asked what the call was about.

She wouldn't say until I had answered some security questions, which I refused to do whilst I was at work.

She then gave me a number to call back at a more convenient time, which I did.

 

She asked me for my name, date of birth and address.

All of which I gave (reluctantly but by now I was worried and wanted to know what they wanted).

Apparently, some of the information I gave didn't match theirs so they refused to tell me anything.

I asked how they got my work number and they said they couldn't disclose their sources!

 

I have no idea what this refers to at all and having read the internet about Restons I am very worried what will happen next.

 

I have had debt problems through being out of work for a long period of time but I have cleared many of these now and am still in the process of clearing the rest.

I have one CCJ against me from Calor Gas but this was all cleared in full at the beginning of this year.

 

I don't have a home of my own anymore and am living with my parents

- at 52 years old this is no fun but I have hopes of being able to afford a place of my own again in the next few years.

 

I now have a job and I don't want this put at risk as this is the only thing I have to my name now. I don't even have a car!

 

I'm sorry for the lengthy post but if anyone can she some light on what might come next

or f there is anything I can do to help myself,

I would be so very grateful.

Thank you in advance.

who owns the debts that are on your credit file and been not paid?

 

 

very rare for rectums to phone anyone to be honest.

 

 

dx

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Thank you also DX for your reply. I own the debts on my credit file. I check it regularly and although it is "very poor" I have made some headway in repairing it over the past year. Living back home with my parents is driving me mad but it has given me a breathing space to get a job after redundancy and to clear some of my debts etc.

 

The same woman from Restons called both times. I spoke to her on the second occasion but because I didn't answer her questions "correctly" she wouldn't disclose what the call was about. She wouldn't even say which of the answers were incorrect so it was a pointless conversation.
