    • and as expected   UK rejects mobility agreement with Europe to help young people travel and live abroad WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK Labour also rejected the possibility of an EU-wide scheme for young people a Government spokesperson said there was no interest from the UK side, adding that “free movement (for UK plebs) within the EU was ended”.
    • Yep, I agree with what you are saying, I only mentioned the governing body code of practice as a nod to the fact that I wasn't dismissing the BPA or whoever out of hand, thought that would go in my favour before a judge. I wrote a long post about the BPA CoP earlier but then deleted it because I realised I wasn't talking about points of law but a set of guidelines drawn up by one bunch of charlatans for another bunch of charlatans. It is ludicrous that the 5 minute consideration period doesn't apply if the motorist parks, such nonsense. As for legislation, I was referring to the government legislation (if it is legislation?) document which has been withdrawn. Does that stand until it has been reintroduced? In the explanatory document it is quite clear. Otherwise, how does one hold them to the consideration and grace periods? Or is that at the discretion of the judge?
    • Thank you all   JK, I agree; if they were to accept my full claim today, then the interest would be around 8-9 pounds. If I were them, I would have offered to pay the interest and said no to the 12 pounds for the letters. These have not been mentioned, which is my mistake.   As you pointed out, if the judge were to award at 4% and I did not get the letters, I would get less.   Bank, thank you. I do hear what you are saying. If I am to continue with this, then I will need to pay an additional trial fee of £59. If I win everything, then great, but if I win less the claim and court fee, then I lose out. I am not sure what the judge will think about the interest. I think we have to remember that I won the item and, therefore, did not pay a penny for it. Yes, I have had to purchase an additional one, but maybe the judge will hold this against me. I am content that this is a win. I have not signed any non-disclosure clauses, and they do not ask for this either in their offer. 
    • Are you saying that both businesses were closed? Yet you stayed there for over two hours. . If both were closed than to charge £100 is a penalty since Horizon had no legitimate interest in keeping spaces clear for the company. sake as there were no customers..

    • 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 have been summonsed by the TV license people.

TV licensing cancelled my DD when it bounced.

I hadn't noticed as I'm always broke so there's not much point checking bank app.

Being a quarterly bill as well made me forget about it.

 

They wrote to me and I phoned them and they said they would send me out a card to use at PayPoint to pay for a license.

I never received this card.

Next thing I get this guy at the door being all friendly like and asking about licence and TV usage.

 

I told him I play prerecorded stuff for the kids (which is true as I don't watch TV hardly at all).

He noticed I had a sky dish.

 

He told me about the weekly payment plan scheme and said he would sign me up for it and pulled out a temporary card and leaflet.

He placed this over his clipboard as he gave me the form to sign.

He said I would not have any further problems.

 

Once i was inside I looked at the form I signed and at the top it had a caution.

This was never mentioned and I wasn't aware of it.

He stated on the form that the interview commenced at 5.33pm and ended at 5.35pm

- yet it took a lot longer than that explaining the payment system to me and asking me other questions.

He has literally lied as well by just making up answers

- nothing major but nevertheless...

 

I used the simple payment plan to make payments but whenever i log into it it says I am up to date with payments and gives me next payment date.

Looking back I may have overlooked one or two but it's never flagged that up so I keep thinking I'm doing ok with it.

 

Then I get the intended prosecution in the post.

TV licensing want £120 plus a victim charge plus a fine when it goes to a magistrate.

 

I will have to plead guilty but surely he had a duty to read the caution to me

- as I would have just closed the door or something??

 

Any quick advice please. thanks

he is commission based

gets nothing if he doesn't make you admit.

 

sadly you had no legal right at all to entertain him.

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...

If you signed it you've admitted guilt and they'll send it to court unless you can pay the amount owed.

 

Having a sky dish means nothing. You could have 10 outside. It doesn't mean any of them are hooked up to a box.

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..

Hi. Didn't know what I was signing though - I thought (was given the impression) it was a formality. I've been doing some reading and it seems these people are good at getting people to sign and not giving cautions etc. The caution would set off anyone's alarm bells which is probably why many of them don't actually issue it. Nasty pieces of work.

 

I will plead guilty, but will follow up my complaint against the person that mislead me.

 

thanks

Thry give that impression because theyre commission based. Soon as you sign it, they get paid.

If you want your day in court then say the "******* (dont) covered up the declaration for you to sign as you felt intimidated by there presence and it was only after you had your copy and read it after you calmed down you read it.

It might work, it might no. Speak to duty solicitor at the court
