    • old and new threads merged i though you were going to send the SB letter in 2017? dx  
    • dunno you've not scanned up what you've had before how can we tell?  
    • Today , after a lot of years i received a letter from this lot. Very friendly, "Were writing to remind you that we haven't had any contact from you in a while".  The velvet fist, followed by  a veiled threat to get their preferred debt collectors involved. Yep dead right. In 1992/3 I took out a Student load under duress from DHSS. up to 2000 I had successfully gotten deferment on low income. But rather than sign on as unemployed ,I decided to be self employed. I applied and they asked for all sorts of documents. I obliged and then correspondence ceased from them, circa 2001. To date I have had no correspondence from Student Loans. I was made redundant in 2009 and reached 65 in 2012 , at which age the loan should have been cancelled. Now , today, 12 years on retirement and 11 ( at least years after last contact) I get a letter with veiled threats. Do I , as I smell a scam a) ignore it and hope that Erudio will think that this phishing attempt has failed or b) respond with a statute barred letter or c) remind them of legal terms that loan should be cancelled 12 years ago or d) combination of b) +c)

    • 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.

They are quoting tresspass on their sign. As I understand tresspass they can only claim for actual damages caused. If this is a free car park then their actual damages are nil. As the car is now removed there is no trespass occurring so they can longer claim damages.

 

Their choice of envelope is interesting as is their notice. They are both similiar to official documents. The plastic notice is complete BS as it's only an invoice and has all the legal authority of a toy policeman.

 

The sign is to cover compliance with the Security Industries Act because they are clamping. Question is was it the only one or were there others around and how high above the ground is it located. Did you understand it? Did you see when you parked? These are all questions to challenge it's validity if you get clamped.

 

As they've only invoiced you I would ignore it and wait until they write to you as the RK (Make them obtain your address from the DVLA - it costs them money). Then tell them politely to stick it up their rear orifice. See the template letters for the nice way to do that.

 

Good luck

Also, under rules of disclosure, the pictures would have to be released to the defendant, prior to actual court appearance in order than they may be taken in to consideration for compiling the defence documentation.

 

Should anything new [from either side] actually be produced in court, this would be dismissed by the judge as not admisable.

And preferably a law enforcement officer - closely followed by the words: "I'm arresting you ...".

 

Ive been reading their website and they even state that they issue PCN's but I notice on the ticket they refer them as FPN's bit of a contradiction there perhaps. their website makes interesting reading plus video of the MD himself on TV.. paints himself as a saint and that hes saving England from the terrors of motorists .. well I exaggerated a little but he tries to paint a pretty picture any way lol

so your saying i should politely tell them to get stuffed and use the template letters if they follow up?

 

also what are my chances of going to court over this and if i did would they have a case? has anyone heard of these jokers taking any action before?
