    • Thank-you dx for your feedback. That is the reason I posted my opinion, because I am trying to learn more and this is one of the ways to learn, by posting my opinions and if I am incorrect then being advised of the reasons I am incorrect. I am not sure if you have educated me on the points in my post that would be incorrect. However, you are correct on one point, I shall refrain from posting on any other thread other than my own going forward and if you think my post here is unhelpful, misleading or in any other way inappropriate, then please do feel obliged to delete it but educate me on the reason why. To help my learning process, it would be helpful to know what I got wrong other than it goes against established advice considering the outcome of a recent court case on this topic that seemed to suggest it was dismissed due to an appeal not being made at the first stage. Thank-you.   EDIT:  Just to be clear, I am not intending to go against established advice by suggesting that appeals should ALWAYS be made, just my thoughts on the particular case of paying for parking and entering an incorrect VRN. Should this ever happen to me, I will make an appeal at the first stage to avoid any problems that may occur at a later stage. Also, I continue to be grateful for any advice you give on my own particular case.  
    • you can have your humble opinion.... You are very new to all this private parking speculative invoice game you have very quickly taken it upon yourself to be all over this forum, now to the extent of moving away from your initial thread with your own issue that you knew little about handling to littering the forum and posting on numerous established and existing threads, where advice has already been given or a conclusion has already resulted, with your theories conclusions and observations which of course are very welcomed. BUT... in some instances, like this one...you dont quite match the advice that the forum and it's members have gathered over a very long consensual period given in a tried and trusted consistent mannered thoughtful approach. one could even call it forum hi-jacking and that is becoming somewhat worrying . dx
    • Yeah, sorry, that's what I meant .... I said DCBL because I was reading a few threads about them discontinuing claims and getting spanked in court! Meant  YOU  Highview !!!  🖕 The more I read this forum and the more I engage with it's incredible users, the more I learn and the more my knowledge expands. If my case gets to court, the Judge will dismiss it after I utter my first sentence, and you DCBL and Highview don't even know why .... OMG! .... So excited to get to court!
    • Yep, I read that and thought about trying to find out what the consideration and grace period is at Riverside but not sure I can. I know they say "You must tell us the specific consideration/grace period at a site if our compliance team or our agents ask what it is"  but I doubt they would disclose it to the public, maybe I should have asked in my CPR 31.14 letter? Yes, I think I can get rid of 5 minutes. I am also going to include a point about BPA CoP: 13.2 The reference to a consideration period in 13.1 shall not apply where a parking event takes place. I think that is Deception .... They giveth with one hand and taketh away with the other! One other point to note, the more I read, the more I study, the more proficient I feel I am becoming in this area. Make no mistake DBCL if you are reading this, when I win in court, if I have the grounds to make any claims against you, such as breach of GDPR, I shall be doing so.

    • 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 not on there (virgin customer) but 100s of my neighbours are accused of downloading porn. Bloody ridiculous! This "business model" has got to be outlawed, and the comapanies/persons who use it put our of business and struck off.

 

They sell plenty of flasher macs around your way then or people leave their wireless connections open without any protection.

 

What I can't understand is that there are millions of porno vids online (so I am told):smile:, so why share stuff that is probably already out there.

 

I have a feeling that a lot of material is placed deliberately online, with a view to taking actions over copyright. If this is the case, I don't blame the legal people for pursuing, but the people behind this. I suspect that similar to music CD sales, sales of porn CD's/vids have dropped, because of internet availability. So how do you go about getting your money back from the costs of producing these products. This sounds more like a new business model, than an issue of copyright.

 

Obviously allegations have to be proven, but I come to the conclusion that there is more to this story, than has so far been revealed.

We could do with some help from you.

By share they mean 'have available on your P2P client', when you download anything you are also sharing it, that is how P2P works, when it has finished doanloaded you can either leave it running in your P2P client and thus carry on sharing it or remove it and stop sharing it.

 

The reason why ACS have accussed people of 'making it available' for downloading is purely financial, as is clear from their leaked emails.

 

..and yes, you may well be correct about items being placed on their deliberatly as a trap, this especially applies to poor selling music and porn, in all honesty would someone actually PAY for a Scooter song or a second rate MOS compilation ?

(IN response to putting the 'list' on Wikileaks)....I'm not sure that giving the spreadsheets a wider audience is a good idea, they do have the ability to cause much embrassment to people, I find the emails to/from Crossley and his clients and staff far more interesting, just come across one from a new member of staff who has complained that she has only just started her legal career (at ACS) and does NOT want to named or involved in SRA action, and quite rightly so !

all you have to do is type in your postcode to see if your name appears & what you are alleged to have downloaded...

Google appear to have blacklisted the API keys which I use to perform postcode searches.

As a consequence, this site no longer works. It probably won't be coming back.

Thanks for all the interest anyway. We had a good 24 hours. See you next time something fun happens.

I have had a letter from a company called "Goldeneye international" claiming that they have my details as i have illegally downloaded a movie. My ISP is Sky, they confirm that they have given my details to Goldeneye as they obtained a court order. Goldeneye are now demanding £700 to settle out of court. Has anyone heard of the company Goldeneye International and are they a genuine company that i should pay?

Re goldeneye - according to Wikki they were the rights holder who TBI (Tilly Bailey Irvine) solicitors represented until they withdrew from the speculative invoicing last march. Perhaps they are now approaching people directly ?

GavinWales - dont pay anything - have a good read of this forum and then decide !

Checked the list and I am def on it - Any legal ppl on here to advise what I should do next?

 

Tut tut..naghty boy..what you been watching ?..hee..I'd sit tight for a while, no doubt there will be many people contemplating action, actually i wouldnt be suprsied if an (enterprsing ?) solicitor did a bulk email to everyone on the list and ask if they wanted to purue a (joint) action against ACS Law.

 

And to think Mr Crossly described the scenario as like waiting 10 mins for a train or coffee..ha..idiot..this is going to wreck your career ..fool :)
