    • Visiting scotland I came across a car park at The Falls of Shin operated by Civil Enforcement Limited. The car park requires visitors to pay using the awful Phone and Pay app or over the phone using an eqully terrible automated service. Their signs state a time limit of 10 minutes after arriving to pay, and both methods require needlessly lengthy registration process only for payment to be rejected when attempting to pay by both. The Cafe were able to offer us some assistance and register our vehicle so hopefully we sould avoid a fine but this seems like entrapment and would still stop us returning again. How is this legal without giving visitors the option to pay on site?

    • There are two things to immediately clarify. Firstly, why did court papers go to the wrong address?  In 99% of backdoor CCJ cases here the person moves and doesn't update the vehicle log book address.  Or they move and they don't inform the parties who they are in legal dispute with of the new address.  Does either of these apply to you? Secondly, given this has been going on for over three years without presumably any ill effects on you, how important is it for you to have a clean credit file?  I ask as, if you do absolutely nothing, the CCJ will disappear in April 2027.
    • Sorry to ask, but I know I had SB template on PC, but can't find it. Also any search for template\SB letter takes me back here.  Any help to get to SB letter would be appreciated. I know I used it on a car HP co that wouldn't honor my FCS refund and after 6 years came threatening ( or rather their DCA). Worked a treat. Thanks in advance
    • Received this letter today after all this time !! Doesn’t sound like just a threat any advice please  Thanks  Photo.pdf

    • 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 know I shouldn't because it's not nice to gloat over the demise of the bigest selling newspaper in the UK but, even though my profession is ahem, *cough* Journalism, I predicted the demise of print nearly four years ago. It's rather ironic that it's happened on cue just before the ruthless Rupert (the bear) Murdoch has got his greasy mits on the rest of BskyB, creating a monopoly in UK media services for the derisory price of spinning off sky news, which is a heavy loss maker at present. I also need to confess to laughing my f'ing ass off while following the story from this morning 'cos me 'ad an iccle wink that sumit big wos going down in Wapping today ;)

Suprised after the steroids I have been on lately, that I dont have the energy to pump iron. Lifting my bott and walking has been an achievement today that I am cheared about.

 

When I was pleading for the chap at the walk in centre for oxygen or I was going to collapse, I picked up a definate we get a lot of asthmatics here, calm down and wait in que, though must admit I felt as if was going to peg it so forgive my little drama and I did say thanks when left. It was serious as my out put was less than half than normal so perhaps I shouldnt feel so guilty for being me over it today xx :madgrin:

 

To be fair they saw me quickly xx

 

Had to laugh they kept refering to last time I was in there re it and the procedure and I for the life of me could not remember, hahahahaha :) Had to keep nodding like a nodding dog, must have been a couple of years ago that I went in so bad due to constant steroids and anti biotics it has felt.

 

Cant believe I have just sat through a programme about great big honking diggers:lol: Perhaps one of them will lift me when cant get about next time, sure I have seen a film where a fatty is sat in the bucket of a yellow digger, hahhaha :)
