    • It's normally that information is usually given how it is stored. I.E. if kept physical then physical copies get sent out. If kept digital then digital copies get sent out. It's the idea that the information you get back is exactly how they keep it and exactly how they hold your data. It's why you'll quite often see screenshots of CRM systems on SARs and such
    • I think final version of WS now prepared with exhibits added.  All numbered properly. Of course it can still be tweaked if necessary. Laura will not need it on 25 June as that is just a Preliminary Hearing for her to represent her son. But as DCBL messed up and thought it was WS time why not prepare things calmly in advance.

    • Your case shows the idiocy of employing a solicitor to do things you could easily do yourself. Had Countryside dealt with their own case they would have entered judgement on 4 June and there would have been no way back for you. But they thought they were clever by running to Rachael and Sean of BW Legal for a more "professional" (aye, right) service.  These dodgy solicitors can only make money on private parking cases by doing everything on the ultra cheap and certainly cant check the judgement date for every single separate case. Ho!  Ho!  Ho! Anyway, glad you got the defence filed OK. The next stage is that the central bulk court will send out a simple form called a Directions Questionnaire to you and to Countrywide which is part of the allocations process to your local court.  If you read this short thread you will see all the stages of the court process  https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/406892-highview-parking-anpr-pcn-claimform-urban-exchange-manchester-claim-dismissed/#comments
    • It is already trespass, nothing further needed to make out trespass. Not sure where ‘interference with goods’ helps you / how you’d bring a claim for that that stops them parking there.
    • Thanks Dx,    For some further information, the holiday was booked as a package holiday for 2. One of the 2 had to be changed, and changing costs £700 for a new flight as "tickets had been issued and they cant do a name change". I cant quite figure out how compensation works for things when it comes to package holidays.    From what I can tell  - The plane was due to land in Turks and Caicos to drop off passengers, something happened during descent, resulting in technical fault.  - The rest of the original flight from Turks & Caicos -> Montego Bay was cancelled  - A New flight was put on today, which was then delayed by 1.5hrs aswell  - Hotel was provided for the night after much hassle.  - 1.5 days, 2 evenings of holiday lost  If I understand correctly, since the original flight (LHR -> Turks -> Montego Bay) was cancelled, they are both entitled to a refund on that full flight? I can't quite work out if they are only entitled to a refund for the equivalent of Turks -> Montego Bay, or for the full LHR->Turks->Montego Bay, since it was issued as one ticket/all Virgin, and they should have arrived yesterday..?)  I can't work out how to get the cost of that compensation, or whether its a set figure, and how the loss of days of holiday is factored in   I am aware:  If you received less than 14 days’ notice of the cancellation, you are generally due compensation, awarded in pounds or euros depending on where your flight was due to depart from, according to the following scale: £220 / €250 for all flights of 1,500km or less (e.g. Glasgow to Amsterdam); £350 / €400 for all flights between 1,500km and 3,500km (e.g. East Midlands to Marrakech); £520 / €600 for all other flights (e.g. London to New York). Compensation will be reduced by 50% if the arrival time of the replacement flight doesn’t exceed the arrival time of the original flight by: two hours for flights of 1,500km or less; three hours for flights between 1,500km and 3,500km; four hours for all other flights. So I "think" its £520pp for the flight part as compensation (7500km)... but some sites say its a full refund for the flight... is it both?  Thanks,  Ryan

    • 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.

erm, so his entire basis for refusal is that he read your blog where you made mention of trying to get started?.

 

Did your blog contain images or videos of you performing any actual work on the car?.....no it didnt, so basically hes basing his refusal on nothing more than gossip.

 

If you hadnt paid hm for the car and he came asking for the money, would he accept it if you said "well, joe bloggs told me that you didnt want paying for it and said i could have it for free"?....course he wouldnt.

 

 

Issue him with a letter before action giving him 14 days to do what he was supposed to or provide you with 100%, concrete proof of his assertion that you have carried out work on the car and thus damaged it yourself.

state that if he is not willing to provide this evidence to you then he can provide it to the court.

Yes, he says that my comment about starting it the next day along with the fact that I found one of the problems (so tiny that I was gonna sort it myself) a few weeks before the others is proof that I have worked on it.

 

 

ha ha ha, thats bad comedy. So by his reckoning, if a cowboy builder says theyll have the work on your house done within 2 weeks, yet 6 months later its still not done, they MUST have completed it and you are just hallucinating.

 

The last letter I sent had this at the end of it:

 

"I will once again give you the opportunity to settle this matter by giving you the choice of:

 

l Fix all of the problems that are consistent with the work carried out by yourself or on your behalf by another company. I will not accept the car going back to the same body shop as they have already painted the car twice and failed both times to do a good quality job (once before I picked the car up where all the paint flaked off and now this time). I have spoken to Trading Standards who have said that this is a fair request.

l Take the car back and refund me in full.

 

Both of these are fair given the circumstances.

 

If you refuse to do either of these you will leave me with no choice but to settle this through the court system, something which I have gone to great lengths to try and avoid to the point where I have offered you a reduced value refund to try and end this situation without having to resort to legal action.

 

Once again I will give you 14 days in which to reply to this letter before I take further action. This means that you have until the 28th February 2009 to reply before I file a claim against you."

 

Is this not enough for me to file it now, he replied on 26th Feb but he's still not budging? Another 2 weeks wait doesn't fill me with joy.

Yes, thats plenty of warning for him, youve even specified a date by which you want to work done or the refund made, he hasnt complied with either request (both of which are reasonable and legal requests), instead preferring to test you by refusing to budge.

Let him explain to a judge how an off hand remark made on a blog is a true indication of work having been completed, file your claim first thing tomorrow.
