    • Do not under any circumstances plead guilty until we know what we are dealing with. It's a sure way to 9 points. The tried and tested way to handle this is to plead not guilty to both charges and offer to plead guilty to speeding provided the "Fail to give information" charge is dropped. But I am concerned about this "ticket refused" sticker. I've never heard of this before. A "ticket" is not a term used in connection with speeding offences. There seems a distinct possibility that your response was received by the police but one thing worries me: I've never heard of a sticker being placed on a response and it being returned "Return to Sender". t's just not what ticket offices do. If you could post a picture of this document and the sticker it might help.  If you can show the response was received you may have a defence to the "Fail to Provide" charge (provided you completed your response properly). If the police are saying you did not respond they cannot succeed with a speeding charge (as they have no evidence you were driving). But if you did not respond, who put the sticker on the document and sent it back yo you?
    • lolerz, many thanks for your reply and correcting my big mistake, oh dear start again. They sent the section 48 along with the Form NO 6A, it was sitting on top of the paperwork, sorry about that. SO they have sent me a Form No 6A and i have received the court paperwork with the claim form and defence paperwork.

    • Hi, below is a draft of the letter Address: Hugo Martin Director of Legal and Company Secretary EVRi Parcelnet Ltd trading as Evri CAPITOL HOUSE, 1, CAPITOL CLOSE LEEDS LS27 0WH REQUEST OF CONTRACTS      Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing in regards to the ongoing small claims case ____. In your Defendant’s response you make reference to a pre-existing commercial agreement between yourselves and Packlink (2.7). In that, you claim to have a clause removing customers third party rights under the Contract (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999. I would like to request a copy of this contract and confirmation of the date on which the exclusion of third party rights term was included in it. If you refuse to provide this then I will be henceforth referring to that refusal in the claim, including to the Judge. I also notice that you have destroyed tracking information due to "lapse of time" in line with your data protection policy (2.12). Can you share where this data protection policy is disclosed to customers? I also ask you to forward you a copy of that data protectiono policy, and again if you refuse to provide this then I will be henceforth referring to that refusal in the claim, including to the Judge. Kind regards,
    • Firstly, thank you for filling in the sticky so quickly - we wish everyone who comes here would do that! You're in the clear.  MET don't know who the driver was.  They can use Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 to transfer liability to the keeper if their bilge arrives within 14 days - they didn't send it out till 102 days after!!! So sit on your hands.  MET will come out with threat after threat but ultimately will do nothing. Have a read of other threads for this car park - we are having a tsunami of cases at the moment. Be sure to come back here though if they ever send you a Letter of Claim.

    • 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 don't believe ACS care about the tribunal. from all accounts, this could take another year to materialise. DL ceased the demands when their tribunal was announced, but acs seem to be grasping at straws sending demands to people that hitherto would not have received them. they know there will be no more NPOs now that they have the tribunal hanging over their heads and so they are squeezing every last penny out of what they already have. had i paid ACS on the understanding that i would never hear from them again i would be worried that another letter would soon appear on the doorstep asking for a liitle bit more money, that there were multiple infringements, not just the one originally stated.. etc. it would surprise me if ACS even went to tribunal. i think we'll see every dirty trick there is to make hay while the sun shines and then they will dissolve.

I wonder if this ruling in the Swiss Court (very good news btw) now nullifies all threats made by ACS law. Reading intently nearly every page of this thread, makes me also wonder how long it will take before this company does fold. The youtube clip from the One Show must put some concerns at rest when the expert stated that the only way they can get you is if you either 1) admit it, or 2) have your Hard Drive checked at a cost to them of possibly hundreds of pounds. According to my understanding, no-one's Hard Drive can be checked in a civil matter, which this is. Please correct me if I'm wrong and put a few more minds at rest!

was it be -unlimited at the time of the alleged infringement? pretty sure be unlimited are, or were, part of BT?

 

They got my ISP wrong as well on their supposed evidence. I have only ever been with 2 ISP's and never with the one they claim have identified me.

 

As to the Be Un Limited - o2 question. Both of these companies have different terms and conditions and tarrifs, even if they are owned by the same company you're ISP is the one you are under contract too, the company you pay your money too. I think Woolworths and I'm sure it was B&Q were owned by the same parent company, however if you bought something from B&Q and it broke and you took it back to Woolworths they would tell you its nothing to do with them. Same applies here if you are an o2 customer you are not a Be Un Limited customer. I wouldn't tell him though.

I'd suggest reading whats been posted many times on this thread about what to do after a 2nd letter.

 

TBH i'm fed up of repeating the same thing to people who wont do a bit of work themselves and read the thread.

Yeah, well this thread is constantly re-inventing the wheel.

 

Short answer is: Even after the 1st LOD - it's up to them to put up or shut up.

 

Being ACS, they won't shut up for a bit but they won't put up either so forget them.

I've read through a good part of the thread and found it interesting...

 

I got a letter of ACS:Law on friday, and i must say it scared me to death (calmed slightly since i read this forum though), it accused me of downloaded "101 housework songs" on the 30/03/09 which i have never even heard of...i looked it up on amazon to see what it was...not my sort of music, i mean i'm into punk and rock.

 

I have read though but i'm not sure what to do still...do I write back with my letter denial? I've wrote to Which? for advice (no response yet), and as soon as i got it I rung o2 (not much help there), and i also rung trading standards. Still a bit nervous about all this even though I know i'm not guility. Doesn't help when i know this could effect my career (I work in IT). Sorry I'm probably worrying about nothing...

Well had my letter from the SRA this morning - bit of a caveat on it - "don't worry if you don't hear from us for a few months". Hopefully this means it will not be a quick hearing and brush it under the counter.

Personally I hope Which? and the One Show are watching for events and will follow up on the story.

You also need to report them to the SRA, as ACS:Law are heading towards a disciplinary hearing for their conduct. This could possibly be one last attempt to get money out of innocent people, before things start to fall around them. Well with a bit of luck, this will be the case.

hi i am a new member to this thread. i recieved a letter yesterday from ACS Law accusing me of sharing a pornographic film in january of this year. I have to admit my inital reaction was shock and fear and the thought that i have to pay this even if i didnt do it because its such an embaressing thing to be accused of. By the time my husband returned home from work i was a total wreck to say the least. He is a little more calm headed than i, and after some research discovered that we are not alone, not by a long shot. This thread has been a valuble resource for reasurance for me and i thank everyone for posted articles and information which i have read and been able to breath a sigh of relief.

We have had so many problem with our computer been hacked this year its not true and i still recieve emails to this day asking me to follow a link and confirm my password, blah blah blah. Passwords have been changed and even my bank details were obtained. The question is how can i prove it wasn't me. The answer is you can't. 8i have just got off the phone from the SRA who were polite and very helpful. i completed their questionaire and gave my details and i urge anyone who hasnt done this to do it because the more people complain the more action will be taken.

I'm going to write my letter of denile this evening with the help of my husband and hopefully by the time they recieve it justice will be done for the little people.

thank you for you advice

Hi,

I'm another new member to the forum, which I stumbled on yesterday while trying to research this issue. Having spend most of my day yesterday reading through most of the pages, I would like to say thank you to everyone who has posted, I really got in a panic when the letter was recieved.

 

My letter however has come from Galland Macmillan, which explains that I have apparantly downloaded some Ministry of Sound album...blah blah blah. I've even been given the option as to whether id like to pay the money online on a purpose built website too!

 

I'm going to be spending most of today writing out a LOD, I would have never have thought about this if it hadn't been for all the information I got from this forum and various links, what a lovely way to spend a day off.

 

I'm just hoping there's no more trouble after this letter, I was quite frightened when I opened and read its contents.

its really scarely, ive never been in trouble with law in my whole life and i suppose this is what they are feeding on, the fear that you wont want to suly your good name. Its hard not to loose sleep over this it really is but im going to do my best to put it to the back of my mind and hopefully we will see justice.

By the way H17 if you havent contacted the SRA please do, they are really helpful and the questionaire only take minutes.

Don't worry 'nickyorm' I will be getting in contact with the SRA as soon as this letter is done.

 

Just wondering if anyone has actually signed the letter? And have they put down reasons as to why the actions that they have been accused of can't be true?

i have used a template. aparently Mr crossley does not accept templates, only by changing it to my own personal circumstances and signing it it is a legally binding document in the eyes of the law. i dont want to give any person information away that i dont have to and i certainly dont want to get into a debate with this weasle so he will continue to recieve templates because i do not have the expertise to write a fancy pants soliciters letter like him.

At the end of the day if you not knowingly downloading, uploading or consenting to anyone else doing it then u are not breaking any infridgement laws. Still its been in the fore front of my mindfor the last 24 hrs, my husbands attitude is much more laid back and he says. We didn't do it therefore how the hell can they prove it. I know what he is saying is true but still its difficult isnt it. I'm a member of my childs PTA and certainly don't want to be acussed of downloading seedy pornography.

I hope that they strike this man off, he deserved a far harsher punishment as far as im concerned.
