    • We need to see the actual document from the IAS where it is written - "The Operator's evidence shows no payment for the Appellant's vehicle, or anything similar. It does show two payments for the same registration in quick succession. I would take a reasonable guess, based on the circumstances described, that the person paying has paid for the registration of the person they assisted again." You can't just type it up yourself. At the hearing in July or August or whenever the judge will have two Witness Statements. One from Bank's director says you never made a second appeal. You say you did make a second appeal and the IAS concluded that payment was made. The judge will immediately twig that either you or the director is lying.  But who? Fail to show the documentation form the IAS and instead just produce something you've typed yourself will make it look like you just made up the appeal and you are lying and you will lose the case. Please let us see what the IAS adjudicator sent.
    • I used to have a retail outlet in London selling my husband's photography.  We also had a co-op with staff so they weren't directly employed by me, but I paid for the other overheads etc.  When my husband died, I carried on as usual for a while but then I became ill and moved quite far away so logistically was becoming very difficult.  I came to an arrangement (verbal) with one of the guys I trusted, that I would send him the images to print and sell as normal, and I wouldn't take any money, as a short term solution until I got back on my feet and worked out the best way to do things. He would pay all the  rent, insurance etc... Over a year later, not able to give things away for free anymore,  I drew up a contract as a wholesale agreement, so I would get everything printed and sent to him and I would invoice his for what he ordered. I noticed form the beginning that he wasn't ordering enough or frequently enough to be making any money, and was suspicious he was doing his own orders on the sly and ordering just enough from me to keep my happy.  I checked with my printer, which I've been with for 20 years, and he sad he wasn't getting orders for my images from anyone else. I emailed a few other printers to ask them to keep a look out for some images but I soon realised this would be impossible to police.  The only option really would be to buy a print from him and check the stamp on the back of it.  I finally managed to get hold of on the prints on sale, and sure enough, he did not order it through me.   In the contract he signed in 2022 it explicitly states that he must destroy all files I had previously sent him etc etc so e is in breach of that.  When I drew up the contract, I was careful to make sure it was legally binding, but before I let rip at him, I need to know where I stand.  The contract is here: PARTIES This WHOLESALE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made effective as of 30th June, 2022, by and between ############################## The Supplier and the Client, collectively referred to as the "Parties," hereby agree to the following terms: TERMS AND CONDITIONS SALES OF GOODS The Supplier agrees to provide the following goods to the Client (“Goods”): Description of Goods ################################# Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b BOTH PARTIES AGREE: The Client purchases the Goods through the Supplier directly, and agrees to delete/destroy any previously held digital images (Goods) owned by the Supplier, and agrees not to use any such files for monetary gain, outside of this agreement, either directly or through a third party from immediate effect of this agreement. The Client purchases the other materials necessary for resale of the Goods independently of this agreement. The Client shall have exclusive rights for resale of Goods at ###########, and also with permission, as a retailer of the Goods elsewhere, provided that there is no conflict of interest between the Supplier and the Client. The Client is free to decide their own retail prices, for the Goods. The Supplier shall use #####  to provide the printed Goods on Fujifilm Crystal Archive paper, with Lustre finish, and will not use any other Printer unless #### cease to trade, without prior approval from the Client. The Supplier shall not impose restrictions on size or frequency of orders made by the Client. The prices provided by the Supplier shall not increase for a minimum of 3 years, unless the prices of the raw materials rise, in which case the client will be informed immediately. Any discounts/promotional prices of raw materials shall be passed on to the Client by the Supplier, and the invoice will show adjustments for this, as well as credit for return postage of any damaged goods. This agreement can be terminated by the Client without notice; the Supplier must give notice of no less than 90 days, unless the terms of the agreement are breached, in which case, the agreement can be terminated with immediate effect. PAYMENT Orders must be paid for upon receipt of invoice, via Bank transfer: ######### Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b DELIVERY AND INSPECTIONS All orders received by 12.00am (midnight) shall be processed by the Supplier the following working day and delivery of order shall arrive in accordance with the Royal Mail schedule, or DPD, should express delivery be requested. The Client shall be liable for the delivery charge which shall be added to the invoice. The Goods will be delivered to the address specified by the Client. The Client shall be provided with order tracking, and should any problems arise with the ordering system or the couriers (Royal Mail, DPD), the Client shall be informed without delay of any such issues. The Client will inspect the Goods and report any defects or damage to the Goods in transit as soon as possible upon receipt of Goods, and will retain damaged Goods for return to Supplier for refund/replacement. GENERAL PROVISIONS CONFIDENTIALITY The prices of the Goods and other information contained in this Agreement is confidential and will not be disclosed by either party unless with prior written consent of the other party. INDEMNIFICATION The Client indemnifies the Supplier from any claims, liabilities, and expenses made by any third party vendors or customers of the Client. GOVERNING LAW This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with UK Law. ACCEPTANCE Both parties understand and accept the wholesale arrangement stipulated under this Agreement. Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Parties has executed this Wholesale Agreement as of the day and year set forth above.   Signed by us both electronically.   I haven't broached any of this yet, and I am looking for some advice about what action to take.  The main issue I've got is that he has still go those images.  If I terminate the contract, I will need to know that he no longer has those images and I can't think of a bulletproof way to do this. I'm thinking I might tell him I will continue with the contract but ask for a  sum in damages and say that if I find out he's still doing it down the line I will terminate the contract and sue him for damages. The damages side of things I'm not sure how it would work as he is self employed, and I'm positive he doesn't declare all of his earnings to HMRC, in order to find out how much I have lost, would the court demand to go through his tax self assessments?  I'm not sure how to proceed with this, I don't want to lose that place as an outlet as it is in a prime spot in London, which is why I let him have those images in the first place as I would have had to pull out altogether at that point.  I am regretting it somewhat now though.  Please help.
    • I cannot locate anything in my paper work that states 2 payments were made? Perhaps you could point this out? In reply from IAS it states "The ticketing data has been attached" nothing was sent to me. I made a response to the IAS all this was done online
    • Thanks again for your responses. The concern I have here, is that freeholder of the land (a company, who presumably would have been the ones to have initially instructed PPM to manage the parking here), will have proof of exactly how long the vehicle was on site for, as the driver was meeting operatives from that company on a separate matter. On this basis, if the matter was to get to court, I feel all the other technicalities about signage, size of signage/font, lack of start/finish times, will not be enough to have any case dropped? This PCN was brought up to the freeholder but they have advised that PPM will not waive this charge.

    • 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'm looking forward to receiving my letter rejecting my LOD for being a template. My second letter will ask under which basis in law they refuse to accept it as it fully complies with the code of practice which their letter of claim didn't. I then have the same right to reject their letter of claim as that too was a template.

 

I wouldn't even bother replying to the 2nd letter.

 

You've stated your position and entering into dialogue with them only encourages them to continue harrassing you.

 

A simple 1st letter of denial stating your position is all that is required unless you like wasting your own time.

Just trying to simplify things.

Theres much of what these law firms do that is against the code of practice. Why enter into unecessary correspondance with these t**ts when a simple denial will do?

My template LOD was the simple denial, my letter will be asking him why he sends them out but doesn't accept them. It will also say no further correspondence will be entered into and any future letters from him will be classed as harrassment and reported to the police as such. Doubt they will care but you never know mate.

You think he'll care about your questions? You think he'll furnish you with a reply other than ignore what you've said and send another begging letter? You're not going to score points with him as he simply doesnt care.

 

You're wasting your time replying after the 1st LOD.

Sounds good to me. Very similar to my last letter.

I'm SURE they dont care, much like the many regulatory bodies who are supposed to care! But hey... "dont let the buggers grind you down!!!":)

No I don't think he will care at all but he sent out his initial batch of letters using Royal Mails mailsort, his individual replies will take him time, he won't be posting out enough to get the discount I assume so he will have to lick all the stamps personally. It takes him time, time is money, money he will not recoup from me and I will report him to the police for harrassment wether he cares or not.:)

Interesting link, they may think its lawful but a letter from the doctor saying it is causing me anxiety could change their minds. I certainly won't let it stress me out though either way, my next letter will be my very very last. I think two is a fair number to show any judge you have played his silly game and now he is just being a nuisance.

 

I accept you only need to send one LOD but I don't see it can do you any harm to send a second and final one just referring him to your template and even enclosing another copy of it.

8of9 so then it's better to reply on your own words?

because for the first two I used the template and they keep on sending me letters......

 

General concensus is yes.

If you are innocent a simple letter of denial is all thats required, but dont go into detail. They want you to enter into dialogue with them as you might reveal more information to them which might inadvertently incriminate yourself. That is why they have also been sending out "Questionaires" to some people with this aim in mind.

Just back in the UK after several months' absence.

 

Unless I've missed something, Crossley / ACS Law still hasn't managed to bring a single successful court case. As a definition of failure, that's pretty graphic.

 

Question, then: why are some folks still wasting their time and energy dealing with a one-man (legal) band that can't even afford to rent a real office, has no track record of success, and is merely a questionable source of income for an individual flailing around to give the impression of invincibility?

 

Anyone getting a letter from him / ACS:Law need spend no more than five minutes penning a brief response along the lines so often rehearsed by helpful posters here, posting it off, and that's that.

 

Anything else brings the recipient of Crossley's letter into much closer proximity to Crossley.

 

I hadn't realised he was so darned attractive.

I posted this in September of last year - not much has changed;

 

Do not phone them.

 

There is a template letter of denial in this thread - it is in your interests to read the whole lot, as lots of questions have been asked and answered already.

 

In short;

 

- they have no claim against you, so you have no legal obligation to pay them

- some believe these are fishing attempts, let others pay as you don't need to

- you should send a letter of denial, then ignore any further letters unless they take Court action

- they have NOT taken action against anyone on this thread, AFAIK (EDIT: There are some saying the claims have been issued, but are not coming back with their own threads, or more information on this thread - this leads me to believe that those posts are NOT genuine)

- Complain to everyone you can think of; Trading Standards, the Solicitors Regulation Authority, your Local MP... the more people at the party, the better for you

 

Any other concerns you may have will have already been dealt with on this thread ;)

 

Oh, and, of course, this;

 

As cerberusalert says;

 

Beware not all members of CAG are caggers, there are some who will deliberately misinform or try to undermine information you have been given, at the end of the day it is you that must decide on what action to take.

Help. Up until the post dropped through my door yesterday, l was blissfully unaware of this firm. Having read the letter l feel litterally nautious. I have questioned both of my teenage kids, who both claim neither of them downloaded the album. I like allow my kids free access to the internet but l am now concerned that either they, or one of their friends may have made me liabable for this penalty.

 

1. Am l liable?

2. Can the IP address identify with IT equipment the download terminated at (i.e downloaded to the PC or two a laptop)?

3. Would l be able to, in good faith, send a LOD?

 

Grateful for any advice.

Thanks

Hi

 

If the file is on your PC then someone has done the downloading, but I would imagine it would be the same person who eats all the biscuits in my house.

 

If the file is on your PC this I would assume, could be construed as part proof that your internet connection did download the file, and so, some of the technology or methodology they use is in fact working to some degree.

 

If the file is on your PC should you admit it to them and pay?

 

That's up to you and I don't think anyone would tell you not to do so on this occasion, as morally it would be wrong.

 

If the file is on your PC your kids are not going to admit to it, as they think they may get in trouble for doing so.

Depends how you measure failure. By playing the odds apparantly many are paying up. So why would he want to go to court?

 

Oh, by the way, should have gone to Specsavers!!
