    • Do you have broadband at home? A permanent move to e.g. Sky Glass may not fit with your desire to keep your digibox,, but can you move the items you most want off the digibox? If so, Sky Glass might suit you. You might ask Sky to loan you a “puck” and provide access as an interim measure. another option might be using Sky Go, at least short term, to give you access to some of the Sky programming while awaiting the dish being sorted.
    • £85PCM to sky, what!! why are you paying so much, what did you watch on sky thats not on freeview?  
    • 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.

    • 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.

My husband has received a court claim from above, he has been paying regular payments for a credit card citi cards. We didn't know about this forum (unfortunatly). have been paying a montly payment for two years. Recieved a phone call from DLC who said unless payment was increased they would file a claim. A claim form from Northampton court arrived Thurs 29 May. Would a judge see it as acceptance of this, as we have been paying this debt? Have printed out CPR and CCA letters, but unsure whether to go ahead. Or just make an offer of instalments. The amount is for £1,972.56. (included were charges for going over credit limit, late payments etc and now court fees and solicitors).

Hi Welcome to CAG

If you are going to defend the the claim you must do two things ASAP.

1 send your Acknowledgement of service to the court (this gives you an extra 14 days to file your defence i.e 28 days from date of service).

2 Send CPR request to claimant as stated on the claim form.

Ignore everything the DCA has said thus far, this is now a court matter, and thats all you should be concerned with.

Keep coming back here for more help, and read the other threads, theres lots of informative stuff on here

 

Can you post up the particulars of claim (removing any personal details).

Also have you received a default notice if so can you post this up.

 

Regards

Please note i have no legal training any advice i give comes from my own experience and from what i have learned on this site

Hi again

If you don't have a default notice, then in your defence you can put them to strict proof that they sent it. Without it they do not have cause for action, this a complete defence.

From the date on the claim form you have 14 days +5days to acknowledge, if you defend the claim you them have a further 14 days to file your defence, phone the court to get a date for filing your defence as soon as you send in your AOS.

The CPR must go to whomever the CLAIMANT is on the court summons.

Make sure it asks for all the relevant stuff(template on here if not sure).

 

For what it's worth that POC sucks IMHO, and without a DN you have nothing to worry about with this one

I've not used MCOL so i can't comment.

The other thing i'd say is if they are using a soliicitor you may need to address The CPR to them.

In the CPR you will be asking for a copy of the agreement, which we can scrutinise (if it turns up in the timeframe Doubtful). but if not another part of your defence, failure to comply with CPR.

 

I hope others will be on soon i have to get up early, and anyway you need others to comment not just me

Regards CCM

  • 4 weeks later...

I have to get my defence sorted and sent tomorrow. To date in response to the CPR request they have sent me :-

 

1. a copy of transactions, and telephone calls since they have taken over the debt.

 

3.a copy of their complaints procedure.

 

2. part of the sale of agreement, a copy of two signatures from OC and DCA and a copy of the definitions,(nothing with my name or account number) they have said in there letter the agreement contains information that is commercially sensitive so will not forward it, but will be able to show a judge in court. .

 

They have said they are still awaiting a copy of the CCA which they will forward when it becomes available and no mention of any default notice copy either.

 

If anyone could help with a defence on that info I would be grateful.
