    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.
    • Defence and Counterclaim Claim number XXX Claimant Civil Enforcement Limited Defendant XXXXXXXXXXXXX   How much of the claim do you dispute? I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1. The Defendant is the recorded keeper of XXXXXXX  2. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7.

    • 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.

Like I said previously, good luck to people in trying to find an ISP who wont cough up when ordered.

 

That doesn't make sense. The date of infringement has been given as when he was with Talk Talk. Looks like your foot stomping has come to nothing and you're still with an ISP who coughs. Whatcha gonna do now?

 

Looks like at some point Talk Talk coughed. They might have stopped coughing now but it appears they have history.

 

:roll:

 

I'm wondering what interest you have in this. You have a very odd attitude. You also apparently seem to think you have all of the facts. You don't and your insistence on proving an erroneous point in the face of clear statements and evidence to the contrary is tiring.

 

The key facts here will be the date of the NPO and the internal processes followed during the takeover.

 

As I have said several times now, ACS and TBI send letters to ISPs asking them not to challenge the forthocming NPO. TalkTalk respond to this letter with a negative. If the previous ISP already said they wouldn't challenge the NPO, then TalkTalk *would* be in contempt of court. They'd have no choice but to follow through.

 

Also, you have no idea how long the existing ISPs legal team were in place after the changeover. You have no idea of the internal policy being followed over this sort of thing. It is hardly mind bending to imagine that they'd keep them the same until they had a look around the business and would see how best to change things gradually so the existing staff are all up to speed.

 

When a company buys another company it is *very* unusual for every single minutiae of policy to change instantly. Especially when they're the size of Tiscali / TalkTalk. Stop pretending it isn't.

 

Furthermore, the point isn't whether they *have* rolled over or not (we know they have, and they openly admit they did) but whether they *will* in the future. They have not rolled over for any recent orders and have publicly stated that they will not in the future. By all means be sceptical - and if they do roll over then be outraged. In the mean time, stop being so indefensibly obtuse about it.

How was it? - I have recorded it but have yet to watch it.

 

Hardly worth bothering with tbh. The letters were briefly touched on but very little mention of the process of these letters.

 

I was impressed with the guy from Talk Talk though.

Yeah..TT was good, and |I thought that it may be a good selling point for them in the future, they arnt going to roll over and hand out your details to any tom dick and harry..(or andrew !).

 

The 'tech guy' bit was crap, he did nothing techinical apart from look and see what films people had on their PC's and his wifi hacking bit was not realistic !

 

I had to laugh when Scooter popped up, we all knew what was coming next but I noticed they blurred out the name on the letter (ACS Law ?).

That was a bit bizarre...

 

I know Davenport Lyons (and particularly ACS law) can be a bit quick to jump to threats of legal action but it's not as if DL haven't been featured on the Beeb, and ACS don't actually send out the letters.

 

Very odd.

Slightly ambiguously worded article from the BBC there. It's been passed by the lords but the commons are yet to have heir bite of the apple. Progress of the bill can be tracked here: http://services.parliament.uk/bills/2009-10/digitaleconomy.html A date doesn't appear to have been set for it's commons debut.

 

Having said that a lot of people seem determined to push this lot through before the election. There is a real danger that the debate will be severely limited and there will instead be discussions between a select few frontenchers. There is advice on the Slyck thread (google it) about this topic with a list of who you need to write to to outline your views.

"But despite criticism, the government said it was still committed to giving courts the power to block websites which are infringing copyright."

 

EErr..How..?. They are nearly not based in the UK ..or are we gonnma end up with net police like in China.

 

Heres my prediction, in a few years time the internet will be totally screwed up and unusable, you won't be able to access any illegal downloads, any copyrighted material, anything pornographic or viewed offensive, websites will be like papers..gagged at every turn, no stories about footballers and their affairs, no stories like MP's expenses, we will end up with a totally sanitized controlled internet, controlled and manipulated by the party in power,...you read it here first...

 

That is the way its heading !

Hi there,

 

Few days ago I have received a letter in the post from ACS law accusing me of download pornography movie on 27/07/09 via BitTorrent/Emule. They acting for Media CAT.

 

In the letter they have recorded "my" IP address and have requested £495 in payment in 21 days. They state if I do not pay I face legal and court action. The letter looks like a photocopy including the court order for the IP address.

I have phoned my provider O2 and they said that they have not received anything from ACS LAW regarding my IP address and request for my details.

 

Please can someone advise me on the best thing to do?

 

Many Thanks

 

Andy.

In all seriousness, this thread is supposed to be about ACS:Law and associated matters.

 

If I were new to CAG and wanted information to help me, I think I might be put off by the number of posts which are general chit chat.

 

Perhaps someone who knows what the current situation is with this, can add a post to summarise where we are.

 

Then if people can resist the temptation to add any posts, until there is NEW information.

 

Constantly adding posts and having a separate folder for ACS:Law is giving these monkeys publicity they do not deserve.

We could do with some help from you.

Although The Pirate (Bay) Party did and did quite well :)
Yes it is about ACS Law but to get ACS stoped we need some one in power what will actually listen to the general public and stop this, it seams to me that the powers 2B only listen to people with big fat bank accounts.

Let's be crystal clear here, this is not about ACS Law.

 

Remove them and you will find another law firm to take their place like what happened with Davenport Lyons. Don't forget we now also have TBI.

 

But, these law firms are only the messengers. Regardless of the strokes they pull, without a company behind them supplying the "evidence" and a Customer signing away on the dotted line to go after the golden goose, ACS and Co wouldn't have any bullets to fire.

 

What needs to be addressed is the whole process of this new form of ambulance chasing.

 

ACS are only one link in the whole process that stinks to high heaven...

Send a single letter of denial, then ignore everything else that they send in reply. If they do send court papers we will give you loads of help to defend, but so far they have not taken anyone to court who has sent an LoD, and it's highly unlikly that they ever will IMO.
