    • No. It's a public (council maintained) road with some houses in it.   Some other houses back onto it too and those owners have right of way down the road to access the back of their properties.  Theres a few garages with private osp - so one drives out the garage, over the osp, and onto the public side road and then out on to the public main road.  Irrespective of whether the garages are used - the local businesses parking their cars on the private osp are ostensibly preventing cars from accessing the public roads.
    • is the side street solely for access to your garages? who owns the land and thus the road? dx  
    • A local business has been parking on an off-street parking space in front of my garages (in a side street).  I wasn't using them for a while so didnt bother to do anything.  But now a second local business is also using the osp - taking it in turns with the 1st biz.  This has started to nark me.    The employees choose to drive to work.  There is no private parking in their business's street.  But there are some underground secure garages in their street - which cost apx £2.4k/y to rent - which works out apx £6.60/d. (I believe one of the biz owners already rent one for storage purposes).  If the employee had to park on a meter it would cost them £6.60/h - £66 for 10h and have to move every 4h.  They just don't want to pay for parking. I haven't confronted either of them.  Instead I just put 2 clear "no parking" signs in front of the garages. And a note on one of the cars specifically saying that as they don't live or rent in the street and it's private land could they stop parking.   They ignored that.  And just put notes on their dash with a # to call if one needs the car moved.  There is a sign and they've been told in writing to stop parking. And they are just ignoring it.    I don't what a confrontation.    I don't want to go to the expense of bollards (other than maybe traffic plastic ones - but they'll probs just move them).  Council won't do zilch cos it's private land. And police won't get involved - unless I clamp/ tow the cars and then they'd be after me, not the drivers!    What's the best thing to do?
    • yes might be the best idea. you'd only at best get 8% flat interest and that unusual on a GOGW if this was what it was. simply contact the FOS and let them know its resolved. dx  
    • If you’ve ever wondered how you might fare in armed combat, the first 20 minutes of Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan is likely to make you thank your lucky stars you were born too late to storm the Normandy beaches on June 6 1944. I suspect many of us might be driven to identify with those men who were absolutely turned to stone by fear. And yet these young men, mainly conscripts, screwed their courage to the sticking point and did the job the fate had chosen for them, heroes all.   .. UK PM Sunak perhaps thinks he understands mind numbing fear better than many as he dishonorably fled the beachhead to do nothing more than double down on dishonest spin and lies from the safety of a UK studio .. The Normandy heroes who not only held their positions, but advanced through hell to a victory that changed the entire course of history .. undoubtedly hold a different perspective.     from a perspective in TheConversation     ..

    • 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.

Cor blimey! They like to pass the accounts around dont they!

 

Im about to go down this road too having had a HFC marbles account be bought by Halifax. HFC provided an app form with no prescribed terms and I was in middle of complaints what the account went to Halifax.

 

Havnt paid anything to Halifax as a/c was in dispute when it was transferred so I think its about 6 months now.

 

Im sure it will go out to DCA's anytime.

 

SAR is due by tomorrow too.

Hi underdog13 & joneseyblod!

 

How are you guys getting on? Hopefully you've been invigorated by the improved weather! :cool:

 

It's like pass the parcel (or 'poisoned chalice' if you're a DCA)!

 

I've never been so 'bemused'....! ;)

 

It'll be interesting to see who they pull out of the hat next.

 

Don't know about you guys, but I actually felt better when it was passed out to the DCAs - they're sooo incompetent! It's been a real confidence booster witnessing these clowns abandoning their fruitless quests and scurrying for cover! Should I be worried and seek 'professional help'....! :D

Hiya Ftc,

 

the DCAs love the old pass the parcel game, too. I had contact from 3 different firms for the same account in a matter of a few weeks.

 

Bog off letters are flying out at a rate of knots - I'm beginning to get a collection of my own template letters now:rolleyes:

Hi underdog13,

 

Good to hear from you! Careful, you might end up with repetitive strain injury!:D I too have a nice 'weighty' file of letters and responses. I never really considered myself a 'letter writer' but know my fingers literally start to twitch everytime I spy a DCA looking envelope...!;)

I've also now been contacted by IQOR

(the new name for Legal & Trade)

 

The address on their letters is:

33-34 Winckley square

Preston

PR1 3EL

 

Their postal address is shambolic, and anybody trying to send recorded letters to them will often be told by the Post Office that it doesn't exist (?).

 

However, if you persist, then it will get to them.

(The Post Office clerk will just need to enter the address manually).

 

I've now had a response to a couple of formal complaints letters I sent, and been given the following contact details:

 

It appears that their "Complaints Coordinator" is a lady called:

 

Susan Myerscough

 

So address any communications for her direct attention, and lets make her work for her salary !

 

The email for the complaints dept is: [email protected]

 

 

Her direct phone number is: 01772 832002

 

Always best not to call these people if you can avoid it, and try to keep all communication in writing for your own records, and also to avoid being coerced over the phone into saying or agreeing to something you may later regret.

If you do feel you need to talk to them on the phone, or if your actually being persistently called by them, ask to speak to only this person directly, and....

REMEMBER TO RECORD ANY PHONE CALLS, AND INFORM THEM YOU ARE DOING SO.

Yep, defo in danger of repetitive strain injury - wonder if I can sue them for damages if I do develop it?;)

 

I know what you mean about building up a file of letters; it's got to the stage where I have my own template letters that I tweak slightly to suit and send off to one after the other.

 

At least my templates make some sense and are actually relevant - unlike theirs:D

Hi everyone!

 

Sorry for the radio silence.

 

Just a quick update - Iqor never bothered to follow up.... (shock, horror)!!!

 

Have now received a lovely threatogram from Moorcroft - with 'intended litigation' not only written in bold BUT underlined too (ooohhh!). :rolleyes:

 

So it's another quick trip to the post office to fire off my 'bemused' letter.

 

As ever, I'll let you know the outcome! ;)

Good morning all!

 

Another quick update - Moorcroft have 'yellow enveloped' me! They have chosen to ignore my 'bemused' letter and responded with yet another letter from their 'pre-court division'. Only now they've put 'notice of intended litigation' not only in red and bold, but they've added a surrounding box....!:eek:

 

Moorcroft's letter is dated 29/06/09 but actually arrived on 04/07/09. They've now added Solicitor's costs (£100), Court fees (£240), Solicitor's costs for entering judgement by default (£35). This is how much my debt 'may' increase by.

 

They've kindly given me until today to pay the full amount - hold on, I'll just go and get my cheque book......:rolleyes:

 

My 'bemused' letter was sent by recorded delivery, but proof of postage isn't showing on the post office website yet.

 

Any advice on what my next move should be? :confused:

Hi everyone!

 

I've had another love letter from Moorcroft...:eek:

 

In their letter they say that they have contacted Halifax who have advised them that they have complied with the Consumer Credit Act and therefore no dispute is outstanding and the balance of £****.** is correct and payable.

 

They have kindly given me until the end of the week to pay up.

 

Has this happened to anyone else? Could someone please advise me on how to respond?

 

BIG THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Hi ftc,

 

you can accept the praise - you gained the knowledge and applied it to your advantage, so well done you:)

 

My fight's going round and round in ever decreasing circles, with numpty creds claiming the earth is flat 'cos they say it is, etc, etc;)

 

Not really got any further, but holding them at bay so far (touch wood:D)

Thank you scouse12345!

 

Definitely feels like I am at war with the dcas! :) I notice you have a wee battle of your own going on - follow the excellent advice that you'll receive on this site and you'll emerge victorious!

 

CAG has to be the best antidepressant on the market! I too love reading through other Caggers' threads and witnessing their transformations. I can't stop plugging the site to my family and friends - someone mentions debt, I shout CAG!!! I also have to say that I find some Caggers' threads and comments so entertaining and funny!

 

I'm no longer afraid of the big, bad wolf! I realise now that he's just full of hot air.... I have no problem opening my statements now as I know that I'll have advice and support from all you guys!:D

Hi everyone!

 

Finally got hold of 'the' letter - only to find that it's not from Moorcroft after all!!!:oops:

 

It's from my dear 'friend' Susan at iQor!!! I can't understand why she would bother to write to little ole me after the account has already been passed to Moorcroft.

 

Anyway, I promised I'd post a copy - so here it is....:)iQor letter.pdf

 

So, I'm still waiting to hear from Moorcroft :sad:

So Moorcroft haven't bothered to respond.....BUT Wescot have decided to send me another threatogram :confused:!!!

 

Why have Westcot decided to wade in again after all these months? They never bothered responding to my earlier bemused letter, instead they handed over to Iqor, who handed over to Moorcroft, who it appears to have passed the parcel back to Westcot!!!

 

Any advice on what my next move should be?

Hi underdog13!

 

Well they do say keep your friends close but your enemies closer.....!

But threatening to turn up on my doorstep for a little one-to-one time is a little too close imho!

 

Wonder who will be the next candidate to join da 'dca crew'! :D

 

Keep up the good work topdog!
