    • Well the difference is that in all our other cases It was Kev who was trying to entrap the motorist so sticking two fingers up to him and daring him to try court was from a position of strength. In your case, sorry, you made a mistake so you're not in the position of strength.  I've looked on Google Maps and the signs are few & far between as per Kev's MO, but there is an entrance sign saying "Pay & Display" (and you've admitted in writing that you knew you had to pay) and the signs by the payment machines do say "Sea View Car Park" (and you've admitted in writing you paid the wrong car park ... and maybe outed yourself as the driver). Something I missed in my previous post is that the LoC is only for one ticket, not two. Sorry, but it's impossible to definitively advise what to so. Personally I'd probably gamble on Kev being a serial bottler of court and reply with a snotty letter ridiculing the signage (given you mentioned the signage in your appeal) - but it is a gamble.  
    • No! What has happened is that your pix were up-to-date: 5 hours' maximum stay and £100 PCN. The lazy solicitors have sent ancient pictures: 4 hours' maximum stay and £60 PCN. Don't let on!  Let them be hoisted by their own lazy petard in the court hearing (if they don't bottle before).
    • Thanks for all the suggestions so far I will amend original WS and send again for review.  While looking at my post at very beginning when I submitted photos of signs around the car park I noticed that it says 5 hours maximum stay while the signage sent by solicitor shows 4 hours maximum stay but mine is related to electric bay abuse not sure if this can be of any use in WS.
    • Not sure what to make of that or what it means for me, I was just about to head to my kip and it's a bit too late for legalise. When is the "expenditure occured"?  When they start spending money to write to me?  Or is this a bad thing (as "harsh" would imply)? When all is said and done, I do not have two beans to rub together, we rent our home and EVERYTHING of value has been purchased by and is in my wife's name and we are not financially linked in any way.  So at least if I can't escape my fate I can at least know that they will get sweet FA from me anyway   edit:  ah.. Sophia Harrison: Time bar decision tough on claimants WWW.SCOTTISHLEGAL.COM Time bar is a very complex area of law in Scotland relating to the period in which a claim for breach of duty can be pursued. The Scottish government...   This explains it like I am 5.  So, a good thing then because creditors clearly know they have suffered a loss the minute I stop paying them, this is why it is "harsh" (for them, not me)? Am I understanding this correctly?  
    • urm......exactly what you filed .....read it carefully... it puts them to strict proof to prove the debt is enforceable, so thus 'holds' their claim till they coughup or not and discontinue. you need to get readingthose threads i posted so you understand. then you'll know whats maybe next how to react or not and whats after that. 5-10 threads a day INHO. dont ever do anything without checking here 1st.

    • 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.

Just had a phone call from a number that I didn't recognise. Typed it in to whocalls me and it says its comes up with BT sms service. There are pages of complaints and briefly reading through noticed a DCAs' name mentioned (Muck Hall), so out of curiosity I rang the number and lo and behold ...it was a message from Calders (Sharklycard).

 

Anyone else had this happen? According to the complaints on that site people are receiving calls all hours of the day and night.

 

I've never heard of this BT service until now and wonder how much they charge? My biggest thought is if the DCAs can tell if the message has been listened to?

 

You can control the times of these texts or put a stop to them by ringing the BT automated service on freephone 0800 5875 252. Listen to the menu and select the appropriate option from 1,2,3,4 and 5. The last option will turn them off all together.

 

Hope this is helpful xx

I had a phone call from Lowells at work the other day to my office phone,that fortunately only I have access, to but when anyone phones and asks for me by name obviously have to say 'yes,speaking' so can't avoid the call.

When he said who it was I asked ' Is this a business call or personal' - cheeky sod said business and could I answer security questions,at that point I put the phone down but a few minutes later I got a BT text message on the same line so I guess it was Lowell,sadly works phone doesn't have caller display or 1471 so I couldn't check who it was.

i had one to my vm landline, claiming to be from vm and need to call them urgently.

Being that ive been behind with my bill for almost 6 months now (vm have been extremely good, and helpful, and havent cut me off at all, note to dca's guess who ill pay back first?)

i called them on the 150 number and told them of the message and phone number it had left. He told me he would pass it up the chain for possible fraud investigations.

question everything!

MBNA have been ringing my old employers even though i've been left 2 years. A girl I used to work with alerted me to this x

Lowells. will try to phone you all the time. Best thing to do is get a samsung phone; block there number when it comes up it gets dropped straight away...p*** the off. I went to open an account at sharclays, i was rejected straight after this vist , Shararclays what the money so there straight in contact with a dept collection such as lowells. If they send txt message to your phone use the above if with BT and drop txts to landlines. Wehn they chase you, the reason is that the 6yr period is comming to a close, after this period if they have no luck in getting hold of you . They can't do nothing...Paracites thats what this world contains, keep your money from them. Don't reply to them and don't let them get to you...waste there time.

I eventually got Talktalk to give me this number. The "Christmas Greetings"call I got from it, mechanical-voiced and quite malevolent sounding, could apparently be connected to MoneySavingExperet.com, to which I subscribe.

 

I'll be letting them know exactly how I feel about making unauthorised calls to my home, especially on Christmas Day.:-x

We took the plunge a couple of months ago and dropped our BT line for a Virgin line (in both ways!) it's stopped the calls dead as we have a new number.

 

I feel sorry for those who gave work numbers out, then hit finical problems as this is very embarrassing.

 

Just a thought that it's often better to drop your number for a clean start...

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...
