    • I recently bought some trainers from Sports Direct and was unhappy with them and their extortionate delivery and return postage charges. I tweeted about being unhappy, and received a reply from someone claiming to be from Sports Direct asking me to send my order number and email address by pm, so a claim could be raised. Which I (stupidly) did. The account used Sports Direct's name and branding, and a blue tick.  The following day I received a call from "Sports Direct Customer Service", and with a Kenyan number. They asked for details of the issue, and then sent me an email with a request to install an app called Remitly. They provided me with a password to access the app then I saw that it had been setup for me to transfer £100, and I was asked to enter my credit card number so they could "refund" me. I told them I was uncomfortable with this (to say the least), and was just told to ring them back when I did feel comfortable doing it. Ain't never gonna happen.  I just checked my X account, and the account that sent the message asking for my details is gone. I feel like a complete idiot falling for what was a clear scam. But at least I realised before any real damage was done. if you make a complaint about a company on social media, and you get a reply from someone claiming to be from that company and asking for personal details, tread very carefully.   
    • The good news is that their PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012  Schedule 4.. First under Section 9 (2)The notice must— (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; (b)inform the keeper that the driver is required to pay parking charges in respect of the specified period of parking and that the parking charges have not been paid in full; The PCN does not specify the parking period. AS you rightly say the ANPR times do not include driving to the parking space and then from there back to the exit. And once you include getting children in and out of cars especially if seat belts are involved the time spent parked can be a fair bit less than the ANPR times but still probably nowhere near the time you spent. But that doesn't matter -it's the fact that they failed to comply. Also they failed to ask the keeper to pay the charge.  Their failure means that they cannot now transfer the charge from the diver to the keeper . Only the driver is now liable. As long as UKPA do not know who was driving it will be difficult for them to win in Court as the Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person. Particularly as anyone can drive any car if they have the correct insurance. It might be able to get more reasons to contest the PCN if you could get some photos of the signs. both at the entrance and inside the car park. the photos need to be legible and if there are signs that say different things from others that would also be a help.
    • Farage rails and whines about not being allowed on the BBC ... ... but pulls out at the last minute of a BBC Panorama interview special. It was denied it was anything to do with his candidates being outed as misogynists and Putin apologists, or that farage was afraid Nick Robinson might throw some difficult questions at him ... despite farages recent practice at quickly cowering in fear.   It was claimed 'it wasn't in Nigels diary'     Nigel Farage pulls out of BBC interview at last minute amid Hitler row WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK ‘Panorama’ special postponed as Reform UK party faces row over candidate who claimed UK would have been ‘better off’ if it had...   Waaahhhh
    • i'd say put lowells to strict proof of where the payment came from. cant hurt to send SB letter, even if proved not. at least they get your correct address. they'd have to link the old IVA times scale to a payment  these IVA F&F pots (if thats where it came from) most mugs dont even know they are not only taking most of your payments on fees but also creaming money off to supposedly offer F&F's.  funny when the IVA fails or is complete these sums of money in F&F pots never get given back or even mentions... these IVA firm directors esp with regard to knightsbridge and creditfix were fined and struck off more times than Paul Burdell of Link Fame and still managed to continue to scam people.

    • 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.

Hello MA

Have you got a thread on this?

Looking at it, it has got the

APR

Credit Limit

Amount per month

Right to cancel

included in it. not sure about the other prescribed terms as still learning but looks enforceable at first glance.

 

Has this been assigned? and do you have a Default Notice for it?

 

If you can post the link to the thread will have a look in more detail.

 

Regards

Quick update,

 

Solicitors Regulation Authority have written to us to say a file has been opened and will be allocated a case worker within 4-6 weeks who will then consider the matter.

 

So will wait and see what happens.

In a small claims case where the claim has been struck out for failing to comply with the judges orders, can we claim costs using an N252 form?

 

Who would we send the form to? HC or CL or copy to both?

What are the fixed costs and court fee to get the court to issue a default costs certificate?

 

Any advice?

 

Many thanks

Hi Maddie,

Do you have your own thread?

I think if you read the small print at the bottom of their letters it says

Howard Cohen is a trading name of Cohen Cramer.

Don't have a letter to hand to check, but have a vague recollection it does.

 

p.s whats TA stand for?

Evening

 

Have received a letter from the court which says:

If you wish for an order to be made for the claimant to pay your costs you will need to make an application paying the appropriate court fee. Please find attached the Application Notice together with the court fee booklet to assist you with the fee. (2 x copies N244 enclosed).

 

Will post up my proposals for filling in the form later.

 

Regards

I think it "trading as" - but i could be wrong

 

I have reported Howard Cohen to FOS, and they have come back having investigated Cohen Cramer. If you look on the bottom of any of their letters it does state Comer Cramer trading as Howard Cohen

The following is the response from the SRA:

 

Thank you for you letter of .. reporting the issues you have about HC & Co.

 

Our objective is to regulate solicitors and others involved in legal services in the public interest and in the interests of users of legal services.

All the information we receive as regulator is useful. Our powers enable us to discipline those we regulate for misconduct and to place controls on how they practise.

Please note that we do not award compensation or provide other financial redress.

As I understand it, you have reported that .. issued you with a claim on .. on behalf of HC. You subsequently filed a holding defence in this claim and asked the court to instruct the claimant to provide further documentation. You received a letter from HC dated .. stating that a judgement had been entered against you and ordering you to pay .. per month. You are concerned that HC issued the letter of judgement to you despite being aware of the status of the claim and believe it was done to harass you. You note the court subsequently struck out the claim as the requested supporting documents were not filed.

The SRA takes information about possible professional misconduct very seriously. However in this case a decision has been made that, on the basis of the information you have providedand on an assessment of risk, a formal disciplinary investigation is not required at this stage. The information will however be referred to the SRA's Practice Standards Unit (PSU) for consideration.

The PSU's remit is advisory rather than disciplinary and where they identify improvement actions that a firm may need to take, they are usually remedied by way of mutual agreement.

If following PSU's review the SRA needs to take more formal action in respect of your report the matter will be assessed again and you may be contacted with further information as to what we propose to do. Where possible you will be informed of any regulatory outcome...

etc etc.. stuff about LSO.

 

---

 

Seems a bit of a fob off to me, is anybody considering a mass complaint to the LSO about this or have any other further suggestions.

Should we reply to the SRA telling them this isn't an isolated incidence?

 

Any suggestions.

 

p.s MA will discuss it with the other person as well I think. ;)

Brief update.

 

We made an online notice of correction to Experian about this account and default entry and have had a reply stating that the account entry has been removed.

Checked the credit file and the account has gone....

Just have to wait and see if they put it back on again.. !

 

Regards.

I dont have any letters from Howard cohan to see if there is reference to Cramer, only claim form, no mention of cohan cramer on that, should I report it and if so who to. I'm at the stage of waiting untl 5th Nov, if Cohan or Cramer or whoever they are called dont supply docs ie default notice, cca, the claim will be struck out.

The conclusion makes interesting reading. It's about time some of these regulatory authorities opened their eyes and then faced up to the systematic abuses perpetrated by outfits like this.

As of 03/03/12 please do not under any circumstances wait for my further input or guidance on any current thread or defence of a court claim I might have been involved in on or through Cag.

I especially like the part suggesting a thorough check be instigated to ensure that judgment really has been obtained "In each and every case where payment has been demanded".:-o

 

Suggest this is going to cause this odious company some very serious problems indeed.:D

It just proves what a shabby and 'look-after-yer-mates' investigation Gordons conducted. I wonder if the SRA will continue to use them? Maybe the SRA should complain about the service they received to the, er, SRA.

 

It will be interesting to see the follow up.

 

Let's hope the OFT can get equally as clear - pointless using the word 'tough' - with the DCA community.

 

Great work, bloody well done for seeing it through.

Human Error my ar*e.

 

what needs to investigated is Proof beyond reasonable doubt that 'human error' was to blame and not the lame attempt to scare people into paying and thinking they could get away with it.

 

Other people need to also complain, but well done. Don't give up on this lot that have caused so much misery, hopefully cattles will take them down when they too disappear.

We live in an unmoderated country why should the net be any different?

Bring back free speech we miss it!

That's outstanding :) :)

 

I almost restores my faith that there are at least some powers that be that are prepared to take action against this despicable and fraudulent industry. Now if only we could find someone to complain to about OFT "investigations" :rolleyes:
