    • Hi. Could you post up what they've sent please so we can see what the charge is? Cover up your name and address and their reference number. HB
    • I've looked through all our old NPE threads, and as far as we know they have never had the bottle to do court. There are no guarantees of course, but when it comes to put or shut up they definitely tend towards shut up. How about something like -   Dear Jonathan and Julie, Re: PCN no.XXXXX cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea that you actually expected me to take this tripe seriously and cough up. I'll write to you not some uninterested third party, thanks all the same, because you have are the ones trying to threaten me about this non-existent "debt". Go and look up Jopson v Homeguard Services Ltd, saddos.  Oh, while you're at it, go and look up your Subject Access Request obligations - we all know how you ballsed that up way back in January to March. Dear, dear, dear - you couldn't resist adding your £70 Unicorn Food Tax, you greedy gets.  Judges don't like these made-up charges, do they? You can either drop this foolishness now or get a hell of a hammering in court.  Both are fine with me.  Summer is coming up and I would love a holiday at your expense after claiming an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to your deafening silence.   That should show them you're not afraid of them and draw their attention to their having legal problems of their own with the SAR.  If they have any sense they'll crawl back under their stone and leave you in peace.  Over the next couple of days invest in a 2nd class stamp (all they are worth) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."

    • 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.

Thanks for the information; suffice to say I'm not touching this job with a barge pole!

 

This reminds me of the Mirror Madeline McCann forum where anyone who posted anything defendign the parents was immediately jumped on as a troll working for Clarence Mitchell/the McCanns

 

I'm honestly a totally neutral person who stumbled across this website for the sole reason that it contained the name and address of the company I was researching.

 

The term CPS Troll was used by another poster on this very thread - thats where I got it from! But if you're convinced of something you'll make any innocuous fact fit the story.

 

If some of you could see how you appear to an outside observer you'd laugh :rolleyes:

 

If it's got to the stage of litigation fears over possibly slanderous comments it's time to step away from the forum....

 

You're also showing your hand to whoever happens to drop by, which is not exactly going to give you the element of surprise is it? :rolleyes:

No need for an element of surprise at all so I don't think that is worrying anyone here unduly. If you have time research the case law and statutes and you will find yourself no surprises are needed.

No one stepping away - that is just what the PPCs and their Trolls want. people post here to protect victims who come here for help. what kind of people would we be if we left them in the clutches of the PPCs ?

 

p.s. impossible to slander anyone via a post on an internet forum.

p.p.s. no one is scared of a libel action either.

Absolutely lamma the more trolling, phishing and threatening from the other side the more determined it makes some of us. Nobody is worried about libel - did you hear that Perky, whatever ID you are currently hiding under? - but we do not want to bring about a situation where CAG is caused unnecessary hassle defending against rogue complaints.

Assuming this is a straight enquiry about an employment opportunity I would advise caution.

 

Combined Parking Solutions are aggressively litiguious. They have built up a portfolio of won cases against dodgy defences. This has been at some considerable expense. Travelling mob handed from Wolverhampton to Harrogate or Oldham for a chance of getting £85 plus a [small] contribution towards expenses does not begin to make economic sense. It sets no sort of precedent.

 

Futhermore, the sheer effort that goes into some of the cases, trolling and phishing on internet sites, attempting to match postings to registered keeper details to "prove" driver identity is completely disproportionate. Any victories are pyrrhic in that the cost to CPS is not worth the prize. This level of effort in trying to find out the driver identity is simply not scaleable. In CPS's ideal world 100% of people would pay these parking charge invoices promptly and without question.

 

It is true that a disappointingly large percentage of people do pay. However, over time, that is changing, it happened with bank charges, payment protection insurance and extended warranties, it will happen with these private parking charges too.

 

Over time, the number of paying punters will steadily go down, leading to a shrinking business, reduced cashflow and consequerntial increased staff stress levels.

 

Overall - not something for the long term but short term, if you are attracted by the free parking and the thought of free meat pie, chips & gravy at lunchtime then go for it.

Very well said, and very arcuate, and totally agree.

I have no intention for applying for the job; I knew it was dodgy the moment I realised there was a consumer action forum focused on this man - not something to instill confidence is it? lol

 

In fact as they had altered their name to 'Combined Solutions' when I phoned for the contact details, they could presumably be had up for misrepresentation - they appear to not want to draw attention to their name or the true nature of their business.

 

Have they been reported to Watchdog or local newspapers?

 

What you really need is someone to take the job and act as a mole.

 

How will they even know that won't happen now anyway? :wink:

aeon456,

 

I'm not from Wolverhampton so I can't comment on the cities average IQ, nor have I met Mr Perkins or his spokespeople/employees, so wouldn't know if he was rude or ignorant and as you say

Sorry, I'm not trying to encourage you to say anything damning yourself; I'm just expressing my own opinion and if he's reading this it gives me pleasure to imagine him realising he can't say anything back without revealing his identity lol

 

So :p to you for making me waste my printer ink and phone bill on a petty rip-off merchant!

 

A letter to the Express & Star newspaper about all this, making sure to name-check his coffee house, could prove very effective.
