      Multiple speeding tickets

      By HanaK · Posted

      Thanks for this! I'm still not clear if I'm facing more than 6 points on my license though. Can you explain any further please? When I accept the 2nd speeding ticket, will they just charge me £100 and 3 points, or will they be more severe concenquences since that offense took place the following day of the 1st offense? Similarly, when I accept the 3rd offense, will they look at my record or just charge me with the £100 fine and 3 points?

      Big motoring world/motonovo HP - faulty vehicle purchase on 31/5/24

      By BankFodder · Posted

      Yes of course. That's why it says cc:: BIg Motoring World at the bottom. Don't imagine that this solves the issue. It doesn't. He not have to force the finance company and big motoring world to accept the rejection to give your money back. I suggest that you get the letter off tomorrow. And let us know what you hear but on Friday you should then send a threat to the finance company.   Have a look what I have said here about your options and read the whole thread as well.

      Should we trust Sunak or the next PM to fix the Country's problems? (title revised 24/10/22)

      By tobyjugg2 · Posted

      Been perusing the actual figures on the polls above wondering where the '16% claimed for deform comes from? I understand that there are 'weighted' end results based on secret calculations ...   Probably going to repeat this later, but remember that the ukip/brexit/reform/deform party has ALWAYS had poll speculation FAR better than their actual  performance at elections - by large margins. SO: The labor and Tory votes come largely from simply the people who say they will vote for them - sorted Lab 43% Tory 20%, with maybe another small 1-2% coming from the weightings of the 'not sures' Greens largely get what is declared from 'other' , although with another declared green bit from the 'pressed' question   So as the share of the voting displayed in 'other' granted to reform/deform is around 11%, where does the '16% too often being reported come from? Seems that reform has been granted as beneficiary of effectively ALL the don't knows and wont says, who when pressed didn't actually declare for someone else ... effectively adding 40%+ to their reported polling % - rather strange given their consistent under-performance compared to polling - or perhaps that is the cause of the higher rating eh?   Now I admit the possibility (probability?) of wingers being ashamed of declaring their support for the yuckey lemon end of the spectrum ... but surely  that should affect the 'Torys as well? Maybe the statisticians have simply weighted in that deform wingers are simply more likely to lie?   But - without 'weightings' and assumptions that faragits will get everything that isnt declared as a definite and unequivocal 'not that Piers Morgan' - reform is on around 11% it seems.   Add to that the history of polling a lot less than the hype - and the simple fact that faragit wingers seem to be spread across the country (presumably skulking in their moms spare room despite being 45+) and greens and lib dems seem to be community minded - I think two seats will be an epic result for farage. Hardly the opposition - far more raving wingnut party.   and importantly - Has farage got a home in clacton yet?

      Another P2G / EVRi Lost Parcel Claim

      By steam_hammer · Posted

      Please go back and read my message posted at 10:27 this morning @jk2054. I didn't say that I wasn't going to provide documents, only that I will upload them to an online repo that I am in control of, and that I would share links to these. You shall still be able to read and download them no different from if they were hosted here. And, the issue I have is not so much with hosting, but using an online pdf editor to create a multi-page pdf, again I have discussed this that same message.

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

have ACS ever written to anyone saying their case was closed ? Or do we all just hang on and hope ?

 

Hang on and hope but I guess they have written to some people who they won't pursue as they won't get any money or look as if they would have to take them to court. (they can't lose a case or their [problem] is over)

Some good stuff from thje inquirer site.

 

It's hard to see how Andrew Crossley and his apparently sole practicioner firm will manage to weather this storm, let alone show up in court asking for more data from ISPs following all this.

 

In some ways the ISPs are off the hook, at least for the moment, maybe. After all Sky was just complying a legally binding court order for information, it claims.

 

The question is, however, if ISPs would take a more aggressive stand against handing over personal data about their subscribers without solid proof of wrongdoing in the first place, might they stand better chances to avoid becoming mired such public relations disasters?

 

Andy

 

Sky dont care about thier customers, all the are interested in pound notes! dont believe me? try speaking to their customer services Dept.

Had a conversation with a local newspaper journalist. He has the list of 'infringers' and my name is on it for his verification. (plus my address) so he knew I was genuine. His next step was to ask for info from 'Ralli solicitors' in Manchester (my suggestion as I have contacted them). Seems like even the local press are getting involved.There were quite a few locals who were on the list. From my disscusion with him on the phone he is on our side and knows of the plight we are going through. In my opinion, asc will close down shortly and all claims will cease. The SRA cannot possibly keep AC on their books without bringing themselves into dissrepute. I am also amazed that AC has not been arrested and charged with demanding money with menaces,fraud,tax evasion (his previous claims how much he has collected) harrassment and wearing an obnoctiuos tie.

In reference to BT failing to encrypt 500 files as reported on various websites and the possible outcome due to a breach of The Data Protection Act 1998 it might be helpful for visitors and members of this site to visit the official Data Protection site which will give you detailed information on your rights.

Do click on the link to the Information Commissioners Office as the information is very important.

he is not a laywer but a journalist.......I firmley believe the writing is on the wall for these 'scams'. 4th Oct (Monday) will be 'make or break' for npo's. Lets wait and see. The more widespread and 'local' the journalism becomes the more it will break into the national news. The whole country has had its victims.....but when it is your next door nieghbour or in the next street, then it will lead to people joining together to fight together. I am a small fish in a very large legal pond....but as a shoal....we can make waves. I have seen a small portion of the list and there are people living just around the corner from me........I doubt if any are guilty!!!!

My Apologies. I read it wrong,so little sleep and to much red wine.I agree with your sentimenys though. The thing I have noticed with these lists is the amount of women on them. How much strife is that going to cause.

My friend's girlfriend was one of AC's 'victims'. She was accused of downloading hard porn and could not stop crying. She had three 'threatening' letters and in the end paid to stop the harrassment. She is a junior doctor and was worried silly that the NHS would find out that she had been accused of watching such films.

Thanks :)

 

I'm glad I'm with Virgin Media who have stood upto these bullies (although I also believe that there is an issue with cable modem 'cloning', this I assume could lead to duplicate IP's).

 

I'd suggest that anyone on the 'Sky' list phone them up and tell them they are cancelling their contract and moving to Virgin for purely security reasons (I wonder whether this would be a valid reason to move even if you are mid-contract ?)

When it all comes out in the open how flawed their methods are I hope you fight for a refund. It makes me so angry to think that someone doing a valuable job is put in such an awful position. :mad2:

 

I was threatened by GM 10 weeks ago and though it wasn't porn I was accused of downloading the thought of a potential court case and how it might look for me as a nurse scared me to death and I went through the process of paying it to make it go away.

 

But this is what they are banking on, people being so scared they pay up. And if you have more to lose...

Complain to everyone you can think of. Your girlfriend is a well respected member of the community. It would carry weight.

Didn't they breach the contract by revealing your details to a 3rd/4th/5th ad infinitum party?

 

Indeed..in fact one of the reasons for DPA rules is that i could now phone up Sky pretending to be any one of 1000's of Sky users that I have the details for, although there should be some kind of pasword security check, a lot of places dont always bother.

Late on 24 September an archive containing thousands of emails from solicitors ACS:Law appeared on the internet. Alerted by Twitter, I watched the horrific significance of the leak become clear as an army of bloggers and forum users dissected the email archive, highlighting the sensitive data within. A handful of credit card details and passwords for some of ACS:Law's own accounts were interesting, but the shock discovery was documents containing names and addresses of ISP account holders alongside titles of pornographic films they were alleged to have downloaded.

Undeterred by the online destruction of ACS:Law, UK lawyers Gallant Macmillan will head off to the High Court on Monday to demand the identities of hundreds more people they claim have been detected sharing files online. While the ISP that holds the identities says it will resist the demand and ask for the hearing to be adjourned, the judge and jury of Operation Payback will pass down their verdict tomorrow, sentencing Gallant Macmillan to a DDoS attack.
