    • Received a call and follow on confirmation email from the police about my cabinets! They wanted to confirm that I was prepared to support police action for the matter and that I would be happy to provide a statement and attend court at a later date!!! I think that something might actually get done - it won't get my cabinets back I know that but hopefully it will put a stop to this so called courier doing this to people!
    • Around a month ago I had to send a sympathy card to a friend in GB. Logistically it made sense to buy a personalised one on eBay and get it sent straight to my mate, rather than faffing around getting it sent to me.  This mighty purchase set me back all of £3.05 (including postage costs). I was taken aback that, when it was sent, I got a tracking number.  For a flippin' three-quid card!  I had no idea that technology had moved on so much and that tracking was so easy.  The shop has feedback for 16,300 purchases so tracking must be easy & automatic. It's unlikely your case will get to court, but in cases that do this got me thinking that we need to aggressively challenge the PPCs where they have lied about the timescales of sending their rubbish and have no proof at all of posting - when it would be so easy to provide it.
    • Thanks for uploading the appeal.  It was a waste of time but well done in not outing the driver. Why have your friends paid £60 they don't owe to a cowboy private company that have no means of making them pay as they don't do court?  If they paid by card, as I presume they did, they should get on to their bank and do a chargeback immediately. We call the £70 the Unicorn Food Tax.  The law specifically states they are only allowed to charge the original £100 but the PPCs and their bezzies in their trade associations allow this made-up extra £70 so £100 becomes £170.  Unfortunately for them the law doesn't. Anyway, snotty letter time. There is an example in post 32 here you can tweak as it's the same company but a different car park   https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/463964-alliance-anpr-pcn-lease-car-appeals-refused-daymer-bay-cornwall/page/2/#comments  
    • Thank god you're not a part of the tribunal! Terribly biased and negative.  HR isn't all knowing. And this case proves it. Thanks again for your opinion.  I'm not going to court because of a few emails, I'm going to court because the head of HR has invented a PCP solely for me, which no other employee is made to sit. The language used in the emails is discriminatory and inflammatory.

    • 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.

That cat clip was so funny! Really made me smile! Glad for everyone's good new too. Had my own last week when saw mother for the first time since she had her strokes (they live in the U.S. so it took me a while to be able to go over to see her) and she is fine. She is still recovering and it will take a long time but it was good to see with my own eyes she is ok.

I dropped my ickle boy off at school at 8am this morning for his first gym lesson. He was so excited about it :D. I helped him get changed into his PE kit and then left him with the gym teacher. On my way to work, I couldn't help but think about how there wasn't many other kids in the gym class (my son was the only one). I got to work and promptly phoned the school to see if my little one was ok and whether anyone else had turned up. The school informed me that my son WAS the only one that had turned up and that currently he was having a whale of a time in the main hall being the only one in the class. The teacher also told me that my son was absolutely wonderful. :D

How lucky, I managed to get a pic of a cricket/grasshopper on my flip flop bearing down for a big jump, and managed to catch it in time.

Listenening to a BBC report this morning in the background concerning the problem of distractions in cars which lead to many accidents i.e mobile phones, changing the CD, general faffing. It was said you should do not do anything which can take your full attention away from driving. It was suggested if you have a passenger it is more sensible for them to do the fiddling for you. Couldn't agree more!

Well yeah, let's face, fiddling and driving just don't go together, and for extra safety, the fiddler should be in the back, cos that bow in the eye or face of the driver could really be distracting.

 

Even better, just buy Nigel Kennedy playing the 4 Seasons on a CD and avoid the danger altogether. :-D

Mr. C. getting a new job :D. A few hundred applied and they narrowed it down to 5. The money isn't that much better but the conditions, overtime and perks will make it worthwhile.

 

And knowing that Beachy is all fine and dandy in the 'lump' dept. :)

Excellent MTM. Solicitor obviously didn't realise who he was taking on.
He actually didn't caro...not once did I have to reveal that I was known as Mr Pink. :eek:

 

 

 

 

Nice one MTM. the sooner these DCAs realise they can no longer automatically gert 'judgement by default' and people not standing up to them the more they will have to come up with new tactics...
On this particular occassion it happened to be an original creditor sillygirl1. ;)

DCA's are a lot easier to outwit by comparison, as their greed and arrogance unravels their ignorant perception of truth & justice.

 

Most if not all of the credit has to be given to the defendant's tenacity though, as the initial proceedings started way before CAG was even a twinkle in BF & dave's eyes.

 

All I did was a little bit of research (which anyone could have done if they read back far enough in the various CAG forums btw), and co-ordinated the on-the-day ad hoc directing of a DJ who even had to look up the County Court Act 1984 as we went along. (:rolleyes:)

My Boss was doing a great impression of Sherlock Holmes with his magnifying glass. I took it upon myself to then make him a deerstalker hat out of paper. He loved it so much he wore it and let me take a photo of him :D. I then emailed that photo to his wife and everyone else in the office :lol: Bless him, he is a brill bossman
