    • Between yourself and Dave you have produced a very good WS. However if you were to do a harder hitting WS it may be that VCS would be more likely to cancel prior to a hearing. The Contract . VCS [Jake Burgess?] are trying to conflate parking in a car park to driving along a road in order to defend the indefensible. It is well known that "NO Stopping " cannot form a contract as it is prohibitory. VCS know that well as they lose time and again in Court when claiming it is contractual. By mixing up parking with driving they hope to deflect from the fact trying to claim that No Stopping is contractual is tantamount to perjury. No wonder mr Burgess doesn't want to appear in Court. Conflation also disguises the fact that while parking in a car park for a period of time can be interpreted as the acceptance of the contract that is not the case while driving down a road. The Defendant was going to the airport so it is ludicrous to suggest that driving by a No Stopping  sign is tacitly accepting  the  contract -especially as no contract is even being offered. And even if a motorist did not wish to be bound by the so called contract what could they do? Forfeit their flight and still have to stop their car to turn around? Put like that the whole scenario posed by Mr Burgess that the Defendant accepted the contract by driving past the sign is absolutely absurd and indefensible. I certainly would not want to appear in Court defending that statement either. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will do the contract itself later.
    • Yes - ignore. Because of another MET victim today I looked at all our MET cases back to June 2014 ... yes, 10 years. They have never dared take a motorist to court and argue their case before a judge.  They have started the odd court case, but as a means of trying to intimidate the motorist into coughing up, when the motorist defended and refused to give in it was MET who bottled it and discontinued.
    • Unpaid wages should be pretty straightforward if you did the work. Don't be intimidated. You need only show you were due money, and did not get money.   The risk is that they have no money to pay you (and legal fees) - frankly a solicitor maybe be costing them more than your claim is for and I might have expected them to make a commercial decision to settle before this point regardless of the merits of the case.
    • Thanks so much FTMDave.  This is so much better   I'm still tempted to leave the blue section in is as if I lose it will at least save me a little bit of money.  But I get your point that it's pretty superfluous.   Thinking I'll get this in the post on Monday unless you think it's worth delaying?   
    • Hi All I have now received a Final Reminder, which I have attached. Can you confirm that I should still ignore this letter and take no further action. It does not appear to say "Letter of Claim" anywhere on the document but I just wanted to check with you all. Many thanks FightUnfairParkingTickets Parking Charge Final Reminder issued 29th May 2024.pdf

    • 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.

Okay, so on the O2 website there is a page detailing the iPhone tariffs:

 

Mobiles & Tariffs - O2

 

I don't want an iPhone, I'm very happy with my Xda with it's built-in GPS, which the iPhone doesn't have, but I do want that tariff with the unlimited data.

 

The section is called "Exclusive iPhone Tariffs" so I take it that O2 won't be offering this tariff scheme to customers with other phones. If this is the case, surely they have to allow customers to choose between ANY of their tariffs and not just ones that are designed for certain phones.

 

IAn

Capital One - Charges

PAID OUT IN FULL WITH 8% INT

 

HSBC - Charges

PAID OUT IN FULL WITH 8% INT

 

Unfair Dismissal

PAID OUT FULL COMPENSATION

 

NCP PAD Parking 'Fine'

FULLY CANCELLED

No - in much the same way they can decide to remove a tariff from their current portfolio and not allow you to sign up to it (despite existing users being unaffected). It's their ball etc etc.

 

I certainly feel the iPhone is both overpriced and old technology with a few tweaks. Add to the fact that since O2 are having to pay 10% of all money collected from the user to Apple, ongoing charges will - in comparison to non-Apple product - will be considerably better value.

I completly agree with the over priced!! well said, i got my iphone for a present, (birthday being on xmas day) :) and was quite impressed with what it has and the tarrifs etc, only thing thats really anoying me just now is all these 3rd party manufacturers promoting iphone products that arent compatable with the iphone but compatable with all ipods nano etc. Eg i bought an iphone gift pack from a company called solware - ebay only for the speakers as i wanted wee speakers for my bedroom, already have a bose system in the living room :) and only ipods nanos etc work on them... i also bough iphone headphones... they dont work either, only on ipods nanos etc even the new sunbeds where you can plug in ipods now while you bake.. they dont work with iphones!!! its sooo anoying!! for an expencive product u would have thought it would work!? its a different headphone connection than ipods nanos etc... WHY?? to make life more difficult?? or just so that you can only buy apple products for it!? not fair in my eyes i have spent a fortune on false advertising iphone products!!!! Grrrr anyone else had this problem xx

Thanx for your help again,

Just an update - O2, no doubt alarmed at the poor sales have revised their original iPhone tariff, it still is the same price, but the inclusive bundle has been greatly improved. In a welcome but unusual move, not only do new sign-ups get the new tariff, but those ALREADY on it, will be switched over at their next billing date. Now there's a surprise!

I don't want an iPhone, I'm very happy with my Xda with it's built-in GPS, which the iPhone doesn't have, but I do want that tariff with the unlimited data.

 

Simple solution, give customer services a call and tell them you want to upgrade your current tariff to the new Q1 08 tariff with unlimited data as your foc bolt on for the remainder of your contract term. To get this bolton foc you need to be on an existing 18/24 month contract and pay £35 pm or more, otherwise its £7.50 pm

 

 

£35 pm will give you 600 mins, 1000 texts and the foc bolt on can be any one of the following:

 

unlimited 02 to o2 calls, unlimited data, unlimited texts, unlimited weekend calls, unlimited fixed landline calls or 200 extra mins.

 

If CS try and be awkward about this remind them of the T&C which state you can upgrade the tariff at any time but cannot downgrade until after month 9, and if your are outside your contract term tell them you want to cancel which will then get you through to retentions where they would be more than happy to do this for you.;);)

The advice I give in relation to benefits should be viewed as general advice and not specific to your individual claim circumstances. I cannot give specific advice on your claim as I cannot access the claim.

600/500 is the retail store (and 3rd party) tariff. If you want the 1000 txt on the q1 08 tariff you'll need to speak to CS or better still retentions threatening to cancel (even if you are within your contract term) on the basis that new customers get a better deal online.

 

Apart from advising you of any applicable term fee (in contract) retentions will more than happily change your tariff to the q1 08 £35 online, keeps our conversion rate up.

 

Buzby - the iphone tariffs are still a load of pants unless you are going to be a heavy data user and download through the handset, but as the iphone is not a 3g device any downloading will take forever. This is one of the reasons why I won't actively promote the iphone.

Phone o2 from your handset on 202 (free) and choose the option for leaving

Well in fairness to O2, it was a bigger load of old pants prior to the tariff 'revision'. However I agree that iPhone is style over substance, and I'm delighted you're not fooled by it, as clearly some of your retail brethren are...

When the original iphone tariffs were briefed out before the launch I nearly fell off my chair laughing at how carp they were in terms of value for money and told my manager that there would be no way I'd sell one to a customer especially as retentions cannot discount the price of the handset, discount the tariff or offset the cost in any shape or form as a save deal.

 

I cannot justify the £269 upfront cost for the 8gb version or £329 for the 16gb version, nor can I justify the £630 a customer would pay in tariff costs over 18 months on top of the purchase price. The iphone is overrated and there are much better handsets you can get foc with standard tariffs.
