    • 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.

You do need to learn the difference between a fine and an invoice.

 

 

A fine can only be given by the police (as in fixed penalty notice) or the criminal courts. Local councils now attend to parking matters and they can issue a Penalty Charge but none of this applies to your case.

 

 

What they will send is an invoice for the cost of security and the time they dealt with you. This is not true. The cost of the security is borne by the customers who pay at the till and the stores factor this into account.

 

 

I don't know if you have read this

https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?448994-RLP-FAQ-s.-What-do-they-mean-Reviewed-September-2015&p=4762870&viewfull=1#post4762870

 

 

but it does give some insight into the thinking of these civil recovery letters. RLP usually say each action costs between £300-500 but were found to be incorrect.

 

 

Now, I could send you a letter and charge you for the privilege. It is your choice whether you pay me or not. I would say you wouldn't pay me a penny as I had done nothing to earn that money. This is exactly the same as civil recovery.

 

 

Even though this will never see the inside of a court room, there are some things a STORE-not the civil recovery company- could claim for but (and it's a big but) they would get back far less than they had to pay out in the first place so it's not worth the effort to them.

Nothing is going to happen. Stop thinking it will. Just work on the reasons why you did it. In your home country it may be severe. In this country it isnt.

 

relax, move on with your life.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Let us be clear on this. Nobody on CAG will say shoplifting is OK and my personal view is that all cases should be handled by the police but they seem to have abdicated their responsibility in shoplifting matter under £200. In your case, if the police had attended, the chances are that you would get either an official warning or a fixed penalty and that would be the end of that. On occasion, I have seen where the police have actually attended and done nothing.

 

 

In your case, no police attended which then means that the leeches can attach themselves to you and worry you to this extent. I have seen on CAG where people have stolen for no reason they could think of but from where I was sitting, it came across that this person had issues in their background that meant they wanted a 'rush' to elevate their mood. I have also seen where a woman has had Post Natal Depression but she didn't know much about it which is why I often say to visit a GP. They are in the best position to diagnose depression in all its forms. I'm not suggesting you are depressed because I don't know you but the increasing fear you are demonstrating leads me to my thoughts.

There is lots of research around shoplifting as a form of self-harm. Self-harm (non-suicidal self injury or risk taking behaviour) is not an illness in itself, and is about coping with mental distress - because of a mental health issue, or abuse, for example. There is also research linking it with borderline personality disorder. That is not to say that there will be a mental health explanation in every case, but it does point to seeing a GP being a wise move. Even if there is no underlying mental health condition a GP can certainly help with the symptoms of anxiety such as those expressed by the OP in this case.

 

I’ve trained managers from a couple of major supermarket chains in mental health awareness. I’d say they understand that not all shoplifters have criminal intent. Interestingly, none have had a good word to say about the likes of RLP.

As always I advise people when asked, shop elsewhere as Sainsburys have always been greedy with their pricing structure, do yourselves a favour and shop elsewhere and enjoy the savings made, years of experience on shop pricing.
