    • My understanding is that they won't provide the name to me whether the investigation is Live or Closed, & I have no legal rep as I didn't have P.I. Cover on my policy, & am intending to claim using OIC.org.uk, but remain completely stuck as they 100% cannot open a claim on the portal without both the Reg. No. & Name of the other driver.  
    • thanks again ftmdave, your words are verey encouraging and i do appreciate them. i have taken about 2 hours to think of a letter to write to the ceo...i will paste it below...also how would i address a ceo? do i just put his name? or put dear sir? do you think its ok?  i would appreciate feedback/input from anybody if anything needs to be added/taken away, removed if incorrect etc. i am writing it on behalf of my friend..she is the named driver  - im the one with the blue badge and owner of the car - just for clarification. thanks in adavance to everyone.       My friend and I are both disabled and have been a victim of disability discrimination on the part of your agents.   I have been incorrectly 'charged' by your agent 'excel parking' for overstaying in your car park, but there was no overstay. The letter I recieved said the duration of stay was 15 minutes but there is a 10 minute grace period and also 5 minutes consideration time, hence there was no duration of stay of 15 minutes.   I would like to take this oppertunity to clarify what happend at your Gravesend store. We are struggling finacially due to the 'cost of living crisis' and not being able to work because we are both disabled, we was attracted to your store for the 10 items for £10 offer. I suffer dyslexia and depression and my friend who I take shopping has a mobility disability. We went to buy some shopping at your Gravesend branch of Iceland on 28th of December 2023, we entered your car park, tried to read and understand the parking signs and realised we had to pay for parking. We then realised we didnt have any change for the parking machine so went back to look for coins in the car and when we couldnt find any we left. As my friend has mobility issues it takes some time for me to help him out of the car, as you probably understand this takes more time than it would a normal able bodied person. As I suffer dyslexia I am sure you'll agree that it took me more time than a normal person to read and understand the large amount of information at the pay & display machine. After this, it took more time than an able bodied person to leave the car park especially as I have to help my friend on his crutches etc get back into the car due to his mobility disability. All this took us 15 minutes.   I was the driver of my friends car and he has a blue badge. He then received a 'notice to keeper' for a 'failure to purchase a parking tariff'. On the letter it asked to name the driver if you wasnt the driver at the time, so as he wasnt the driver he named me. I appealed the charge and told them we are disabled and explained the situation as above. The appeal was denied, and even more so was totally ignored regarding our disabilities and that we take longer than an able bodied person to access the car and read the signs and understand them. As our disabilities were ignored and disregarded for the time taken I believe this is discrimination against us. I cannot afford any unfair charges of this kind as I am severely struggling financially. I cannot work and am a carer for my disabled Son who also has a mental and mobility disability. I obviously do not have any disposable income and am in debt with my bills. So its an absolute impossibility for me to pay this incorrect charge.     After being discriminated by your agent my friend decided to contact 'iceland customer care team' on my behalf and again explained the situation and also sent photos of his disabled blue badge and proof of disability. He asked the care team to cancel the charge as ultimately its Iceland's land/property and you have the power over excel parking to cancel it. Again we was met with no mention or consideration for our disability and no direct response regarding the cancellation, all we was told was to contact excel parking. He has replied over 20 times to try to get the 'care team' to understand and cancel this but its pointless as we are just ignored every time. I believe that Ignoring our disability is discrimination which is why I am now contacting you.     I have noticed on your website that you are 'acting' to ease the 'cost of living crisis' : https://about.iceland.co.uk/2022/04/05/iceland-acts-to-ease-the-cost-of-living-crisis/   If you really are commited to helping people in this time of crisis ..and especially two struggling disabled people, can you please cancel this charge as it will only cause more damage to our mental health if you do not.

    • Hi everyone, Apologies for bringing up the same topic regarding these individuals. I wish I had found this forum earlier, as I've seen very similar cases. However, I need your help in figuring out what to do next because we've involved our partners/resellers. I work as an IT Manager in a company outside of the UK. We acquired a license from a certified reseller (along with a support agreement) and also obtained training sessions from them. The issue arose when we needed to register two people for the training sessions, so we used an external laptop for the second user to keep up with the sessions for only a month. During this period, the laptop was solely used for the training sessions. After two weeks, my boss forwarded an email to me from Ms Vinces, stating that we are using illicit software from SolidWorks. Since this has never happened to me or anyone we know, I went into panic mode and had a meeting with her. During the meeting, we explained that we were using an external laptop solely for the training sessions and that the laptop had not been used within the company since her email. She informed us that for such cases, there are demos and special licenses (though our reseller did not mention these types of licenses when we made our initial purchase). She then mentioned that we had utilized products worth approximately €25k and presented us with two options: either pay the agreed value or acquire SolidWorks products. We expressed that the cost was too high, and our business couldn't support such expenses. I assured her that we would discuss the matter with the company board and get back to her. After the meeting, we contacted the company reseller from whom we purchased the license, explained the situation, and mentioned the use of an external laptop. They said they would speak to Maria and help mediate the situation. We hoped to significantly reduce the cost, perhaps to that of a 1-year professional license. Unfortunately, we were mistaken. The reseller mediated a value €2k less than what Maria had suggested (essentially, we would need to acquire two professional lifetime licenses and two years of support for a total of €23k). This amount is still beyond our means, but they insisted that the price was non-negotiable and wouldn't be reduced any further. The entire situation feels odd because she never provided us with addresses or other evidence (which I should have requested), and she's pressuring us to resolve the matter by the end of the month, with payment to be made through the reseller. This makes me feel as though the reseller is taking advantage of the situation to profit from it. Currently, we're trying to buy some time. We plan to meet with the reseller next week but are uncertain about how to proceed with them or whether we should respond to the mediator.

    • 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 reported a brake in last year and told the police that the log books for the vans had been taken but could not prove who it was so the police could not do anything but when the bailiff turned up at this guys work he gave the bailiff the stolen log books

 

Had you changed the logbooks into your own name/ company name?

 

Can you prove that the log books were stolen?

 

Can you prove that the bailiff got them from this person?

 

If so, have you considered making a complaint in writing to the Chief Constables office.

 

I know I say this from time to time, and to my knowledge, no one from here has ever done that, but it is the only way to ensure that the police actually do their job in difficult cases where they'd really rather be doing something else.

If he knew they were not the property of the debtor then that is theft.

I wil try and explain a little better

 

jan 08 i was looking to buy a (firm) in the first meeting with the owner he told me it had around £42000 debt.

we came to an agreement that i would pay off the debt as payment for the (firm) in the contract it included 2 vans and a fork lift truck and a little bit of stock.

when i got in there the old book keeper stayed with us for around two months but when i started going deeper in to the accounts somthing was not right the numbers did not add up,so i called the book keeper in to my office and asked what was going on he was told at that point that if he was to lie to me i would sack him on the spot,and this is what he told me he said that the old owner had told him to fiddle the accounts before i got there to show £42000 debt and to hide this also from the vat as he was under an inspection so i asked him in is opinion how much debt he thought there realy was he said around £80.000 but this still did not add up.

so i spen the next two months looking in to everything(bear in mind i had now paid £42000 off of his debt so i now was the owner of the two van and F.L.T)

at the end of my own invetigation i found that the credtor debt was £130.000+ inland rev £13.200 vat £8.000+and bank over draft £15.000

and credit card debt £112.000.

i also found that he had got all the debt putting his house as security as told by creditors but just found out that he is a tennent and it is not his

had this confirmed by the (landlord)

i set up a payment plan with inland rev to date paid over £5.000

sep 08 i was called by police to say my alarm was going off at my office

when i got there the alarm told me that somebody had been in through the main door but i had changed the alarm code then we found that the log books and the purches contract for the (firm) had gone so we called the police to tell them what had gone but we could not prove it was the old owner (another brick wall) anyway oct 08 we had paid over £72.000

off his old debt but we could not carry on so we closed and all we had was the two vans,we then got a letter from I.R saying we owed another £8000 when i told them in wrighting what was going on thay said that thay had not got the letter but (bad luck) i sent it recorded and it had been sighned for, the day after thay told me it had been taken by the fraud department, and the next day thay phoned to tell me thay had looked in to this and was going to refund every penny i had paid (bonus)thay have done just that.in all this we had death threats from this guy and told to keep our mouth shut so we had to move home as we have two small children at the same time he was charged with assault on one of my employees so we knew he meant what he said.

in feb 09 a bailiff came to our house and my friends son opened the door and he told the child that he was taking the vans he told the bailif that thay had stuff on them as we was in the middle of moving he told that child who as it happens is bisabled (blind)if he did not unload the vans within two mins he would take them anyway he called me on my mobile and he was told he could not unload the vans as i had the key (and he is blind) i told him i was just around the corner so he said dont worry i will keep them here until you get here when i got there no vans and this child had been left outside crying iin the garden he said i told them to wait hear he then rang them to find where thay were and i told them to wait until i got to them and when i asked the driver why he set off before i got there he said i was told to by the bailif when i went back the bailiff said dont worry thay wont go out of north wales but yet again this was a lie the vans were now at the other side of lancashire

we have sent sherforce log books how we paid for the vans and we have the keys the insurence from the last six months in my name and even a latter from the lieing B---urd that had me over telling that the the van with all the things on was ours i then got another letter from inland rev (a bill)with a tax code that i did not know when i called them the fraudster had given the tax office my home address for his own personel tax bill that said just bin it as thay now knew what this guy was trying on

when the guy broke in and took the contract (clever)not so it was a coppy inland revinue had my original coppy that is why i got my money back when i spoke to a local solicitor he told me he knew this man and he was known for doing this type of thing and his nikname for him was the famous company liquedator as this was his tenth one he knew about.

 

hope this helps sorry a bit complex

i have all the documented evidence to prove all i have said this is why it is so frustrating

thanks again

From what the bookkeeper has said it seems to me that you are also a victim of fraud, not to mention the threats of violence. Have you reported them to the police?

police are not bad it seems that every time i speek to them thay always tell me thay have heard this kind of thing before and it wont get past the C.P.S and it seems like thay dont want to do anything because thay are held back by the C.P.S, so what is the point, (but thats not always in the public interest) i actualy feel sorry for police offices spending days on one case to be told its not good enough.

but feel just as bad towards sherforce and the **** bag that calls himself a high, old on he did tell me he was a high court officer and worked for the court is that not impersonation of an official, if so he said this on cctv in front of a police officer.

Don't feel too bad for the police... If they present a good case, the CPS will then find it more difficult to justify refusing to prosecute. If they don't bother, the CPS have it easy.

 

Remember who has to gain from no prosecution, and who loses..

 

We have laws for a reason, and as imperfect as any system is if you don't fight for your rights, some lying thieving politician will take them away - because they are inconvenient to him/her at the time.

 

Don't give up.

Jesus this is shocking tom tubbys help needed on this one

stupid question from me but cant you file a form 4 complaint about the bailiffs

 

You are quite right, this is a shocking situation.

 

Until a few days ago we had an agreement that the vehicles and contents would be released but then a 3rd party claim was found to have been made which has meant that this matter will have to wait to be decided at the Interpleader hearing in 2 weeks...

 

Very INTERESTING to see whether the 3rd party will make an appearance!!
