    • Speaking of the reformatory boys, here they are with all of their supporters, some of whom traveled with them from miles away, all carefully crammed together and photographed to look like there were more than about 80 .. rather like Farages last rally with even fewer people crammed around what looked like an ice cream van or mobile tea bar ... Although a number in the crowd apparently thought they were at a vintage car rally as they appeared to be chanting 'crank-her'. A vintage Bentley must be out of view.   Is this all there is? Its less than the Tory candidate. - shut up and smile while they get a camera angle that looks better

    • Now that is an interesting article which adds afew perspective that I hadn't thought significant - but on reflection of the perspectives offered ... Now Starmer is no Blair, however 'blairite he may be perceived, but the Tories aren't tories and aren't even remotely liberal   The fast 'unannounced and unexpected election call from sunack may well be explained by the opinion linked that he hoped reform would be unprepared and effectively call a chunk of Farages largely empty bluster - making him look even more of a prat, leave scope for attacks on shabby reform candidates and mimimise core vote losses to reform - while throwing the 'middle ground' (relative) tories TO THE DOGS - and with the added bonus of likely pacifying his missu' desire to jogg off to sunny cal tout suite somewhat   thumb in the air - I expect about 140ish tory seats, but can hope for under a hundred Reform - got to admit the outside possibility of 1, maybe 2 seats with about 8% of the vote - but unlikely. I think projections of over 10% of the vote for reform is nudged and paid for speculation - but possible with the expected massive drives from Russian, Chinese and far right social media bot and troll prods targeting the gullible.
    • Commentary June 2024 WWW.ELECTORALCALCULUS.CO.UK Interesting article about just how bad it could be for the Tories.  Also Tories could be hoping on Reform not having candidates in many seats, as they were not ready.  
    • Even a Piers Morgan is an improvement and a gutless Farage Piers Morgan calls for second Brexit referendum WWW.THELONDONECONOMIC.COM Piers Morgan and Nigel Farage have faced off over Brexit and a second referendum in a heated reunion on BBC Question Time.   “Why don’t we have another referendum about Brexit?” he questioned. “I seem to remember when 2016 came around we were told there was going to be control of our borders and it was going to be economically beneficial to this country. And eight years later we have lost complete control of our borders… and economically it seems to have been a wilful act of self-harm.”   ... Piers missed off : after all somebody said a 48/52 decision would be "unfinished business" by a long way - was that person just bul lying (again)

    • 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.

Got mine today - Down to £350 this time..... totally ignored my LOD and not actually given me a reason why it was not accepted, oh what a surprise.

 

Still - I forgot to mention in my last letter that I happen to forward a lot of conclusive evidence ( including photo showing the fact I own the chuffing CD in question ) to the SRA who accepted it and its now part of the larger enquiry.

 

I was thinking what sort of damage are ACS doing to the real people trying to sort this out ? Lilly Allen was asking a while back the artists to come together and help stop piracy ( which this is about really ) but with ----s like this they will never get any where.

 

I was wondering if its worth twittering over to her ( lilyroseallen (lilyroseallen) on Twitter ) and other artists about this cos it must really be hurting the cause ?

From http://acs-law.org.uk/preaction.pdf

 

2.3 The letters of claim and response suggested by this Code are not intended

to have the same status as a statement of case. They should be sufficiently

detailed so that each party may understand the case of the other.

However, their preparation should not place an unreasonable or

disproportionate burden on either party in terms of cost.

2.4 Attention is specifically drawn to the following provisions:

section 253 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988;

section 70 of the Patents Act 1977;

section 26 of the Registered Designs Act 1949;

section 21 of the Trade Marks Act 1994;

paragraph 4 of the Community Trade Mark Regulations 1996

paragraph 4(6) of the Trade Marks (International Registrations) Order

1996

These provisions create liability in tort for making unjustified threats of

infringement of a design right, patent, registered design and registered

trade mark respectively. Claimants and their advisers should be aware that

unless their letter of claim falls within the exceptions set out in the above

sections, by following the provisions of this Code they may make

themselves liable for the tort of unjustified threats. There is a possibility

that relief (including a declaration, damages and an injunction to prevent

further threats) will be granted against them by the court as a result of a

claim or counterclaim for unjustified threats. Accordingly, there may be

cases where a claimant can reasonably justify not having sent a letter of

claim on the grounds that to do so was likely to lead to a claim or

counterclaim for unjustified threats.

 

 

 

d) if more information is required, specify precisely what information

is needed to enable the claim to be dealt with and why;

(e) if the claim is rejected, explain the reasons for that rejection, giving

a sufficient indication of any facts on which the defendant

currently relies in support of any substantive defence;

 

(g) state how the confidential information came into existence;

 

In addition to those matters set out in paragraph 4.2 above, the letter of

response should, where appropriate:

(h) give an explanation as to why the defendant disputes that the right

in issue subsists in the claimant’s work, that the claimant’s work is

original, is owned by the claimant or has been copied, and why the

work which is claimed to be an infringement is not an

infringement;

(i) state whether the defendant is prepared to enter into a licence

agreement;

(j) inform the claimant, in accordance with this Code including

Appendix F, if the defendant intends to make a claim for

unjustified threats.9

 

For the purposes of this Appendix, the claimant is the person who

complains of unjustified threats and the defendant is the person

complained of as making such threats)

3.2.F In addition to those matters set out in paragraph 3.2 above, the letter of

claim should, where appropriate:

(f) identify the correspondence or other activities of the defendant

complained of, where possible enclosing copies of any

correspondence from the defendant upon which the claimant

intends to rely;

(g) identify which section and/or subsection listed in paragraph 2.4

above the claimant relies upon.

4.2.F In addition to those matters set out in paragraph 4.2 above, the letter of

response should, where appropriate:

(h) where the defendant does not agree with the claimant’s

characterisation of the meaning of any words complained of, state

the defendant’s reasons for disagreeing.

So - thats part of their code of practise....

They seem to have done all the hard work in the 1st place by preparing the ground work so to speak for what they wanted to do by getting peoples info etc...

Then when its come to the most crucial part of it all, i.e - actually obtaining money off people, its been nothing short of a farce, a shambles & a total disaster on their part.

Back to the drawing board ACS Law....... :rolleyes:

The "Being Threatened" website has removed the link to this forum coz they say it "Contains mostly wrong information"

On the contrary...this forum tells it how it really is & maybe thats what they dont like :cool:

 

Not wanting to stir up trouble (and yes I haven't exactly posted much on this forum), but I have been following DL/ACS since February 2008 and there has been quite a bit of misleading/out of date/incorrect information on this thread at times. Well meaning I'm sure, but nevertheless misinformed. Wouldn't say "mostly wrong" though. Also it was quite a few months ago that they removed the link.

There has been no misleading advice given out on this thread or this forum whatsoever.

Caggers tell the truth & tell what alot of people/people in industry in general dont like to hear.

Sure there will have been trolls on here, like everywhere else - but on the whole, not.

I personally question the "Being Threatened" site & what its real aims are?

What that site doesn't seem to appreciate, is that this thread is posted in a Debt Collection forum, and the advice given here is from people who are experienced in dealing with DCAs. While ACS, and Davenport Lyons before them, may not actually be a firm of DCAs, their tactics so far have been identical to those used by DCAs. The advice given here is from that perspective, and while it may be different advice to what BeingThreatened gives, it is nonetheless known to work very well from our point of view. If ACS start doing something different to a DCA, then the advice will need to change, but it seems to me that nobody has come unstuck with any given so far. From either site, so far as I know.

Its like what i get told off DCA's when i tell to them get stuffed & they have no legal powers to obtain money out of me whatsoever.

I always get told in return that i am "misinformed" - well if they think im misinformed then i challenge them to take real action against me, to this day non ever have coz they know i will wipe the legal floor with them so to speak.

As far as ACS are concerned, i dont doubt that theyve been to a court to obtain info & i fully understand that not everyone wants a default CCJ etc...

But in general speaking terms, i still say that they have no legal authority to actually obtain money out of anyone.

Only the county court system has that power & only after a due process of exhausting your basic legal/human rights & protections has been gone through etc..

There is somethink not right with theys letters from ACS-Law it seams as if the music industry have had permission to stop piracy at any cost and also egnore human rights on there way

This is almost crimanal what they are doing, Some years ago my nephew had a fallout with some neighbours of his so they dicided to damage his car he got the police out but it was that same old police frase = SORRY SIR YOU DONT HAVE ANY PROOF we can have a word with them but there is no real evidence. So he then bought CCTV and cought them in the act, he got the police back out and thought YES got em, BUT still there was No evidence the video evidence was inadmissable becouse it dint show a clear view of there faces but he new who it was, so him and a few boys whent round and told them to pay up for the damages or ells (the only diffrence was he didnt threaten court action if yous no what i mean) He then got a visat from the police who were fare and was only doing there job but warnd him he must not go round threaten theys people for money or he could be charged with demanding money by menace and threatning etc

So how can ACS -LAW get away with it after two letters demanding money i would say all letters after then SHOULD be Demanding money by menace how many denials do theys want :-x:-x:-x

Unfortunately, there are a number of firms of solicitors in this country who will do just about anything for money.

 

Supposedly, solicitors are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority which is just another, virtually unaccountable quango.

 

They have done nothing whatsover about another firm of solicitors who, over the last few months have written to hundreds of people telling them a county court judgement has been made against them and they had better pay up now. This was an outright lie and against every rule in the book but the SRA have done absolutely nothing about it and the firm is still in business.

 

The SRA are still (they say) investigating Davenport Lyons and now say they are investigating complaints regarding ACS. I for one am not holding my breath!

So some, like me, have been offered lower settlements, while others have had their settlements increased?

Can someone also clarify the without prejudice clause for the part 36 offers? From my (limited) understanding, the offer is made as it's more desireable than a court appearance. If the Part 36 offer is rejected by the Defendant, the Claimant can then process Court Summons against the alleged infringer. Does it then mean that if/when the Case goes to Court, one cannot quote the ineptitude of their processes (as their correspondece is "without predudice")? Can you not show the Judge that their correspondence obviously demonstrates a desire to make money by extortionate means?

Suggest you read Part 36 fully to understand the implications - it's not as bad as suggested here.

 

'Without prejudice' means that the letters cannot be presented in court without the express permission of either party.

 

This isn't quite accurate, actually.

 

WO documentation is just subject to legal privilege. In my case against Barclays, I submitted some WO letters, (oops) and the Judge said "are you prepared to waive legal privilege to these letters so I can consider them?". Of course I said yes ;)

Hi and welcome.

 

The fact the amount being demanded is going down should tell you something!!

 

Thinking is you should send an LOD. Exact number of people who have had these letters is unknown but runs to many thousands so you chances of ever being taken to court are very remote so stop worrying.

Hiya,

 

My dad got his 3rd letter yesterday upuntil now he has ignored the matter, not sent any responses etc, i have this morning put together a lod, asking if they have any proof other than the IP to bring it forward, informing them i will charge £25 for every letter i have to deal with from them in a counter claim etc, i also got a little worked up when writing and put the following -

 

I write with reference to the above and the letters I have received from you with regards to ‘alleged copy write infringement’.

You should take this letter as formal notice that I deny all allegations made in your poorly put together ‘template’ letters, and will continue to deny and will not be paying any sum of money.

As I am sure you are aware having proof something is linked to my IP address is not conclusive evidence that I, or someone in my household downloaded the material, you admit as much in your letters!

I strongly deny breaching any part of the CDPA 1988 which you allege were breached using my connection. You may also like to note that section 16(2) requires me to have directly infringed copy write or to have authorised someone else to do so, none of which I have done, which is why you have no proof I did!

Never have I possessed a copy of the work referred to in your letters, nor have I distributed it or authorised anyone else to do so using my connection, if you have proof to the contrary (other that the ‘IP address’ rubbish that we both know would not stand up in court) then please feel free to make me aware of it!

Failing to not secure my wireless access is not a crime, and as you know, or should, having an unsecured router leaves it open for anyone to access, without my permission, to carry out any form of illegal activity. Again, if you have solid proof I, or a member of my household carried out the alleged act please bring the proof forward.

Any further letters you send to me will incur a £25 fee, this will be added to my counter claim Civil procedure rules (specifically section 52, rule 48.6) for harassment and being wrongly accused of something you have NO proof I committed, Please be informed that if you wish to pursue this matter, I will seek to recover all my costs to the maximum permitted by the Civil Procedure Rules.

You should also take note that this is not a template letter, therefore you have no reason to write to me again dismissing it as such, nor do you need to respond with more empty threats or accusations that I have simply used ‘help forums’, nor do I need to be informed of your ‘successful cases’ where you were awarded ‘£16,000’, we all know you have never won a case that was defended, you have merely won when the defendant failed to show up and contest in any way, you have simply won by default!

I will not fail to turn up should you be stupid enough to take this case to court and will take great pleasure in seeing it dismissed due to lack of evidence!

Yours sincerely

 

 

Eould be grateful for any advice, if anyone thinks ive gone a little too far etc

I still haven't received anything after replying to their lowered settlement... I don't think it's over, it's just the postal strike.

 

Anyone received a response since the lowered/altered settlements?

 

Is everyone here disputing the Scooter Download or are there some that got accused of downloading games?
