    • We need to see the actual document from the IAS where it is written - "The Operator's evidence shows no payment for the Appellant's vehicle, or anything similar. It does show two payments for the same registration in quick succession. I would take a reasonable guess, based on the circumstances described, that the person paying has paid for the registration of the person they assisted again." You can't just type it up yourself. At the hearing in July or August or whenever the judge will have two Witness Statements. One from Bank's director says you never made a second appeal. You say you did make a second appeal and the IAS concluded that payment was made. The judge will immediately twig that either you or the director is lying.  But who? Fail to show the documentation form the IAS and instead just produce something you've typed yourself will make it look like you just made up the appeal and you are lying and you will lose the case. Please let us see what the IAS adjudicator sent.
    • I used to have a retail outlet in London selling my husband's photography.  We also had a co-op with staff so they weren't directly employed by me, but I paid for the other overheads etc.  When my husband died, I carried on as usual for a while but then I became ill and moved quite far away so logistically was becoming very difficult.  I came to an arrangement (verbal) with one of the guys I trusted, that I would send him the images to print and sell as normal, and I wouldn't take any money, as a short term solution until I got back on my feet and worked out the best way to do things. He would pay all the  rent, insurance etc... Over a year later, not able to give things away for free anymore,  I drew up a contract as a wholesale agreement, so I would get everything printed and sent to him and I would invoice his for what he ordered. I noticed form the beginning that he wasn't ordering enough or frequently enough to be making any money, and was suspicious he was doing his own orders on the sly and ordering just enough from me to keep my happy.  I checked with my printer, which I've been with for 20 years, and he sad he wasn't getting orders for my images from anyone else. I emailed a few other printers to ask them to keep a look out for some images but I soon realised this would be impossible to police.  The only option really would be to buy a print from him and check the stamp on the back of it.  I finally managed to get hold of on the prints on sale, and sure enough, he did not order it through me.   In the contract he signed in 2022 it explicitly states that he must destroy all files I had previously sent him etc etc so e is in breach of that.  When I drew up the contract, I was careful to make sure it was legally binding, but before I let rip at him, I need to know where I stand.  The contract is here: PARTIES This WHOLESALE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made effective as of 30th June, 2022, by and between ############################## The Supplier and the Client, collectively referred to as the "Parties," hereby agree to the following terms: TERMS AND CONDITIONS SALES OF GOODS The Supplier agrees to provide the following goods to the Client (“Goods”): Description of Goods ################################# Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b BOTH PARTIES AGREE: The Client purchases the Goods through the Supplier directly, and agrees to delete/destroy any previously held digital images (Goods) owned by the Supplier, and agrees not to use any such files for monetary gain, outside of this agreement, either directly or through a third party from immediate effect of this agreement. The Client purchases the other materials necessary for resale of the Goods independently of this agreement. The Client shall have exclusive rights for resale of Goods at ###########, and also with permission, as a retailer of the Goods elsewhere, provided that there is no conflict of interest between the Supplier and the Client. The Client is free to decide their own retail prices, for the Goods. The Supplier shall use #####  to provide the printed Goods on Fujifilm Crystal Archive paper, with Lustre finish, and will not use any other Printer unless #### cease to trade, without prior approval from the Client. The Supplier shall not impose restrictions on size or frequency of orders made by the Client. The prices provided by the Supplier shall not increase for a minimum of 3 years, unless the prices of the raw materials rise, in which case the client will be informed immediately. Any discounts/promotional prices of raw materials shall be passed on to the Client by the Supplier, and the invoice will show adjustments for this, as well as credit for return postage of any damaged goods. This agreement can be terminated by the Client without notice; the Supplier must give notice of no less than 90 days, unless the terms of the agreement are breached, in which case, the agreement can be terminated with immediate effect. PAYMENT Orders must be paid for upon receipt of invoice, via Bank transfer: ######### Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b DELIVERY AND INSPECTIONS All orders received by 12.00am (midnight) shall be processed by the Supplier the following working day and delivery of order shall arrive in accordance with the Royal Mail schedule, or DPD, should express delivery be requested. The Client shall be liable for the delivery charge which shall be added to the invoice. The Goods will be delivered to the address specified by the Client. The Client shall be provided with order tracking, and should any problems arise with the ordering system or the couriers (Royal Mail, DPD), the Client shall be informed without delay of any such issues. The Client will inspect the Goods and report any defects or damage to the Goods in transit as soon as possible upon receipt of Goods, and will retain damaged Goods for return to Supplier for refund/replacement. GENERAL PROVISIONS CONFIDENTIALITY The prices of the Goods and other information contained in this Agreement is confidential and will not be disclosed by either party unless with prior written consent of the other party. INDEMNIFICATION The Client indemnifies the Supplier from any claims, liabilities, and expenses made by any third party vendors or customers of the Client. GOVERNING LAW This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with UK Law. ACCEPTANCE Both parties understand and accept the wholesale arrangement stipulated under this Agreement. Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Parties has executed this Wholesale Agreement as of the day and year set forth above.   Signed by us both electronically.   I haven't broached any of this yet, and I am looking for some advice about what action to take.  The main issue I've got is that he has still go those images.  If I terminate the contract, I will need to know that he no longer has those images and I can't think of a bulletproof way to do this. I'm thinking I might tell him I will continue with the contract but ask for a  sum in damages and say that if I find out he's still doing it down the line I will terminate the contract and sue him for damages. The damages side of things I'm not sure how it would work as he is self employed, and I'm positive he doesn't declare all of his earnings to HMRC, in order to find out how much I have lost, would the court demand to go through his tax self assessments?  I'm not sure how to proceed with this, I don't want to lose that place as an outlet as it is in a prime spot in London, which is why I let him have those images in the first place as I would have had to pull out altogether at that point.  I am regretting it somewhat now though.  Please help.
    • I cannot locate anything in my paper work that states 2 payments were made? Perhaps you could point this out? In reply from IAS it states "The ticketing data has been attached" nothing was sent to me. I made a response to the IAS all this was done online
    • Thanks again for your responses. The concern I have here, is that freeholder of the land (a company, who presumably would have been the ones to have initially instructed PPM to manage the parking here), will have proof of exactly how long the vehicle was on site for, as the driver was meeting operatives from that company on a separate matter. On this basis, if the matter was to get to court, I feel all the other technicalities about signage, size of signage/font, lack of start/finish times, will not be enough to have any case dropped? This PCN was brought up to the freeholder but they have advised that PPM will not waive this charge.

    • 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 had a Visa account with the Bank of Scotland which I couldn't afford to pay and has now been bought by Cabot, I have a letter from them stating that they purchased the account from the Bank of Scotland. The amount they are chasing me for is over £3,000. I've had umpteen letters from Cabot, which I've ignored, threatening me with all sorts of "legal" action, and some offering me discounts ranging from 30% to 50% if I stump up the cash to them.

 

I don't know how much of this includes unfair charges.

 

I haven't replied to any of Cabot's letters nor have I made any payments to them.

 

Do I contact Cabot for copy statements? Or Bank of Scotland?

If you haven't already done so search on the buttons above on Cabot - theres a whole number of threads on those beggars and many people who froth at the mouth at the sound of their name so get digging and get them off your back.

 

Firstly write to them with one of the template letters saying you do not acknowledge any debt to Cabot and that until ownership is established NO defaults should be entered on the credit refence agencies.Also state that the account is in dispute.( Cabot have a habit of placing a default the minute they buy the debt which often leads to you having two if you don't watch it. 1 from BOS & 1 from Cabot - you should only have 1). Secondly tell them you will not tolerate any telephone calls ( search hagenuk posts in the debt collection agency threads and read up how to handle these devils) and will only communicate by correspondence failing to do so breaches wireless & Telegraphy Act 1940 something and the Communications Act etc - it's all there on the threads.

 

Send out your Data Protection Act S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) request letters to BOS and establish the charges when they send the statements and claim them back from BOS.

 

Keep posting and keep reading the CAbot and Debt colection agency threads as much as you can. Then you will be back in control and on your way to freedom.:D

Thanks for your advice zoot and andrew, you've both been very helpful. I sent off my CCA letter to Cabot today, but lo and behold.....yesterday i received yet another threatening letter from the parasites.....

 

"Dear Candyfloss

 

Outstanding Balance - £3,273.72

 

You have previously received letters warning you that failure to repay the above detailed account will result in further action being taken.

 

The next contact you have regarding this account will be from one of our External Debt Recovery Agents.

 

Our Agents will be instructed to call upon you as part of this recovery process to collect the total outstanding balance which remains in default.

 

Yours sincerely

 

 

Lindsey Thomas

Recoveries Manager

This being just one of a large number of letters threatening "further action"!! None of the "further action" stated in their letters has been carried out as yet!!

 

The Cabot letters have my BoS account number on them, so I'll be sending a DPA letter to Bank of Scotland within the next week then see what happens from there.

Scaremongering again - just let your DPA SAR to BOS and the cca on Cabot take thier courses. Make sure you have let Cabot know the account is in dispute with BOS and that you do not acknowledge owing any debt to Cabot. Nature will take it's course. Cabot are not noted for sending people door knocking. Keep the upper hand and you will be rewarded.:D

Well I sent a CCA letter to Cabot by recorded delivery 1st class on 3rd August and it still hasn't been delivered...! I sent a DPA request letter to Lloyds TSB by the same method at the same time and it was delivered the next day. Does this mean cabot have refused to sign for it....or maybe I sent it to the wrong address?

  • 5 weeks later...

No thats the same address that I sent my letter to and received the usual 8 weeks bullsh*t letter eventually on day 28 of the 30 days.

However, they still have not proved that this debt is mine and will be pursuing them to remove their ILLEGAL DEFAULTS in due course.

If they refuse to sign for your letter then it is TOUGH SH*T on them.

The courts deem that a letter/summons is served within (generally) 2 days of sending. Providing you can prove that the address you sent your letter to is correct then start counting after 2 days of posting.

Cabot delivered my SAR material with no stamp. they have not responded to the 12 and 30 day request on a credit card account, and they are a few days away from not responding to the final 30 day period on a loan account although I did get the 8 week letter which was treated with the comtempt it deserved. Cabot are going to have a busy time in the courts once they get their head around all these defaulted time slots and not have too many accounts to collect :D :D :D

DO NOT SEND THE ORIGINAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

At best offer to take the original into a local office for verification but do not allow it out of your sight. Take photo copies with you but do not allow them to lose it.

Just think about the Cabot situation. They are basically powerless without the original signed agreements. Just remember the original is the only proof that the courts recognise, anybody nowadays can forge a copy.
