    • Thank you. Please will you repost your images in one single multipage PDF file – the right way round et cetera.  
    • And just to reiterate – I'm sorry if the message above sounds a bit harsh. We have to get the message out to other people who visit this thread as well. I realise that you are having a difficult time and we will do our best to help you, of course
    • The last photo shows the overflow carpark looking at the block which our room was located. When we got out of the car my partner thought that the building was for staff accommodation.  The unsecured bedroom window opened onto this car park.
    • Also I see that you are doing a lot of this on the telephone – and without any written confirmation. This is a big mistake. You need to start taking this matter seriously and so everything should go in writing. If you have telephone calls then they should normally be recorded. Read our customer services guide. You should make notes about every telephone call and then you should send an email to your telephone correspondence confirming what they have said or what they have agreed. It is important that you keep detailed paper trails here. Of course we may be jumping the gun and maybe big motoring world will step up to the mark – but I'm afraid that they have a lousy reputation has you have seen and so you need to start practising survival techniques and protecting yourself. You say for instance in your letter of rejection that the mechanic told you on the telephone that the gearbox needed replacing. Do you have any other evidence of this conversation? This is going to sound a bit harsh – but other people will be visiting this thread as well for their own purposes. You conducted their research about this company before you bought the vehicle. You now are fully aware that this is a company which can be very difficult to deal with and causes a lot of problems for many of their customers and yet you are still taking a telephone/verbal approach. Do I need to say any more? Also one of the documents you put up is an email exchange but it is not clear who is writing to who or what dates. If you showed this email to somebody in a pub they would be asking lots of questions about who sent the first message, who sent the second message, what dates were they sent et cetera. Please think about this before you post things. Please can you clarify the details of that email exchange. Please will you present the information carefully. We are all volunteers here and we have to rely on you to do the spadework
    • I told the DM that the room was not acceptable because of the reasons already mentioned. He informed me that they were full that night and that they could move me to the room next door (would not solve my problem with the rooms location). Told the DM that I could not stay in the room provided for the night so left no option but to leave. DM did not reply and I walked out.

    • 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.

i didnt ask to go to court, and there is certainly no way im travelling to bournemouth to attend...

 

As far as I'm aware you can request the court to be moved to your local one. Perhaps one of our legal experts will confirm or not?

They put double yellow lines (I know they are worthless from a legal point,

 

If you lose, it would have cost you lots more money .. the CCJ will be on you for 6yrs (as I doubt you will be able to pay the amount within 28-days for it to be removed).

 

angry_driver you acknowledge they have no legal standing yet you are berating skyelet for not paying. It seems you contribution to this thread is unhelpful and antaganistic. You are also making unfounded assumptions about whether skyelet will carry a CCJ for 6 years (just like PPCs do) for defaulting on a court judgement. Perhaps there is another thread you will feel more useful in.

I may not be a legal expert but from the CAB website::

 

If the case is for £15,000 or less, it can be started in any county court.

 

 

The court will then transfer the case automatically to the defendant’s nearest county court if:

 

  • the case is defended, and
  • the claim is for a fixed amount, and
  • the defendant is an individual, not a company.

To be honest, with those particulars of claim, I don't think Trethowans have got a cat in hells chance of winning. The person that filed it should be sacked for wasting the company's money on frivolous lawsuits.

 

I'm sure that the legal eagles will have a field day putting together a very strong defence for you, but sadly, I bet they won't even turn up in court on the day. Make sure you keep records of all the time and money spent on putting together your defence and claim it back off them when you win.

Hey Richard that's a Debt Recovery Assistant you're talking about.:rolleyes:

 

Not my field but a couple of questions:

 

Does the ticket No.3550 tally?

 

Should the "Date" & "Due Date" show the same date?

 

I shouldn't worry about the case being delayed as they have applied for a Daily Rate of Interest of £0.011.

 

Hope the judge is good at maths :-D pmsl.

Our company is taking someone to court next month. The case is being held in OUR local court, not their's, so they are going to have to travel down to us because they didn't request it be moved. We purposely stated we wanted it to be heard in our court, and we're the claimant.

The defendent doesn't have to request it to be moved. It is done automatically if the three conditions stated are met. It would suggest, therefore, that your company is either taking a company to court, OR, it isn't being defended OR the amount being claimed is not a fixed amount.

 

I've also taken (as an individual) a company to small claims and had the case heard in my local county court, because as a company the defendent did not have the right to request it to be moved.

 

In the OP's case, she has nothing to worry about as the three conditions are being met so it will be transferred without question.

With respect I did read you post ... you were going to a clinic got onsite to park and no spaces so instead of waiting for someone to go, or drive around a little more or park off site and walk you decided to park on the double yellow lines.

 

You were having a 'routine scan' - you're pregnant not disabled .. If you were a few mins late for your scan they would still have accomodated you (as I presume other patients would have the same trouble).

 

I do not wish to get into a slanging match, I was just pointing out that the chances are when this goes to a hearing you will probarly have just given birth and have all the hastle/time this WILL take, with a new born and all the stresses that brings .. over £25

 

I know you didnt ask for it to goto court, but if you didnt pay then they would take it to court ... its obvious - where else are they going to take it to recover the charge they beleive is due.

 

You may win / You may lose - No one on here can give you that guarentee.

 

If you win then you pay them nothing, as you will be on maternity leave so you will only be able to claim your travel to court and nothing for the time/effort you put into sending docs off / doing research (as small claims are limited to loss of earnings ONLY).

 

If you lose, it would have cost you lots more money .. the CCJ will be on you for 6yrs (as I doubt you will be able to pay the amount within 28-days for it to be removed).

 

All for £25.00 which you could have paid in instalments to them - a lot less hastle than the position you find yourself in now !

 

Angrydriver, thanks for your comments, but as i stated in my OP i waited already, and there were long queues for each of the 2 remaining operational car parks. I am aware that pregnancy doesnt class as a disability, but i also have problems with my hips/pubic bone due to the pregnancy which makes it very painful to walk even short distances. There was no chance of parking off-site as the hospital is surrounded by housing estates and main roads.

stating that all this for £25 is all well and good, but i appealed it, which then meant they were asking for £50 becuase the original time frame was out... and as i have already explained, i dont have that sort of cash. I am not asking for a garuntee that i will win the case, i know that no-one has that sort of power :p im female.... not thick.

So when they rejected your appeal the letter gave the the opportunity to pay £25.00, it also states if you do not pay or contact them they will take it further.

 

Did you then come on here, get the advice to ignore them and were surprised when they did as they said and issued court proceedings.

 

If you would have contacted them within the 7-days and explained your financial problems them they may have offered you a payment plan .. but it is clear from your own posting they did offer you the chance to pay the reduced amount after rejecting your appeal.

thanks angry_driver, but i do not find your ranting helpful nor constuctive and so i will chose to ignore it, reading through some of your other posts... seems you like to flame a fair portion of all of those 20 posts you have made.

I was asking the CAG members with experience of these matters.It read like they may have been demanding payment on the same day & I didn't know if that was suposed to be - say - 7 days later.:confused:

Better to put the defence here on thread so it can be checked and commented-on if nec'y.
