    • I (and other respondents) always advise “not getting caught in a lie” it hardens their response. Why would they now believe protestations of remorse and “I won’t do it again” if they've already seen you'd lie and say it was a one-off when it wasn't..  You can try approaching the prosecutor on the day, but "I wouldn't hold my breath" …..  
    • I told them that it was an accident and that I used the oyster card as my debit card was lost. However, they did an investigation and realised it was not a one off. I have told them how remorseful I feel and how a criminal conviction would result in expulsion from my degree but they still want to take me to court. I have received the court summons letter

    • 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 have recently been informed that Google Earth is so accurate that you can actually see inside my house, garden, car etc. I had a look and it is true! It is shocking, you can clearly see everything, from my kids toys in the garden, to my stuff inside my house, and even my cars registration plate. Its a burglars paradise. Surely this is an invasion of privacy? Is there anything I can do about it? I have a six foot fence around my house to keep my privacy, and all it takes is the click of a mouse and the fence is worthless!!!

Apparently loads of people have complained about it & some people have even been caught in "compromising positions" if you know what i mean :D

Seriously though...1 woman complained because she was rehoused after being abused by an ex partner & is now showing up on this google street view outside the house were she now lives...so the ex abusive partner will now know were she lives :eek:

Google Street has a recognition thing which blurs number plates and things like that.

 

As for Google Earth itself (the satellite picture from above), it's not real-time. Mine still shows the tree we cut down 2 yrs ago, lol.

 

Not sure about the rest.

you are right. ours is an old picture, from before christmas, but the number plate is as clear as if you were standing on the driveway though, so the recognition thing obviously didn't work very well that day!!

Surely the ex-partner would need to know where they live in order to search for the address in question?

 

It's not like Google earth is going to e-mail said person and say 'guess what' your ex now lives at 34 acacia close.

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

A newspaper published an article on this. After the supposed blurring on Google St, the got images clearly showing peoples' faces, registration plates etc.

 

I think it's another good example of how the progress in technology has exceeded the knowledge and wisdom in its use.

Surely you cannot see into a house? you would need to have a glass ceiling and roof for that!

 

I think that once again, people have over reacted, and for those that have been caught in compromising positions, TOUGH, shouldnt have been doing it in the first place :-)

Lulu ,, :D re glass roofs

the complaints are more about street view option, as they are taken from the street , there are views where you can seen into windows etc , and also if you spin round the 360 deg you often find bits have not been blurred

Still think it is a big fuss over not much, unless of course you are given to sitting naked in there :-) or perhaps you keep something of national importance in there. Realistically though, how many people do you think are actually going to zoom in and take a look?

 

A bit of perspective here people please :D

This invasion of privacy has to stop before it gets out of hand. There was this one pedestrian that walked past my house and actually glanced in my window as they went past. Glanced in. Actually using their eyes to invade my front room.

 

People can't be trusted to have access to the ability to see other people, and it must be stopped now.
