    • The Contract itself The airport is actually owned by the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan. There should be an authority from them for Bristol airport group  to sign on their behalf. Without it the contract is invalid. The contract has so many  clauses redacted that it is questionable as to its fairness with regard to the Defendants ability to receive a fair trial. In the case of WH Holding Ltd, West Ham United Football Club Ltd -v- E20 Stadium LLP [2018],  In reaching its decision, the Court gave a clear warning to parties involved in litigation: ‘given the difficulties and suspicions to which extensive redaction inevitably gives rise, parties who decide to adopt such an appropriate in disclosure must take enhanced care to ensure that such redactions are accurately made, and must be prepared to suffer costs consequences if they are not’. The contract is also invalid as the signatories are required to have their signatures co-signed by independent witnesses. There is obviously a question of the date of the signatures not being signed until 16 days after the start of the contract. There is a question too about the photographs. They are supposed to be contemporaneous not taken several months before when the signage may have been different or have moved or damaged since then. The Defendant respectfully asks the Court therefore to treat the contract as invalid or void. With no contract there can be no breach. Indeed even were the contract regarded as valid there would be no breach It is hard to understand why this case was brought to Court as there appears to be no reasonable cause to apply to the DVLA.............
    • Danny - point taken about the blue paragraphs.  Including them doesn't harm your case in any way.  It makes no odds.  It's just that over the years we've had judges often remarking on how concise & clear Caggers' WSs have been compared to the Encyclopaedia Britannica-length rubbish that the PPCs send, so I always have a slight preference to cut out anything necessary. Don't send off the WS straight away .. you have plenty of time ... and let's just say that LFI is the Contract King so give him a couple of days to look through it with a fine-tooth comb.
    • Do you have broadband at home? A permanent move to e.g. Sky Glass may not fit with your desire to keep your digibox,, but can you move the items you most want off the digibox? If so, Sky Glass might suit you. You might ask Sky to loan you a “puck” and provide access as an interim measure. another option might be using Sky Go, at least short term, to give you access to some of the Sky programming while awaiting the dish being sorted.

    • 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.

:mad2: Hi everyone. I didn't think I would be coming back to you so quickly! It's nasty west again but this time its about a credit card account. I have been paying this account off slowly and not missed any payments. The reduced payments started off at £5 a month about 5 years ago and have slowly crept up. Last year they told me to pay £38 per month which I was doing (reluctantly) But now after filling in another i'o form I offered them £20 per month because of rent rises food going up etc. They got back to me asking for £47 per month because they said I should pay an equal percentage of my money going to debts to each company i owe. I pay £10pm to one, £22 pm to another just going with what has been asked for and seemed reasonable. The thing is after May, I will be losing about £320 per month in tax credits and child benefit when my daughter leaves full time education so i have no idea what i'll do then never mind having to pay more per month. Any ideas i will be grateful for.

It is for you to TELL THEM what YOU will pay, NOT the other way round. make the offer of £20 (which is very very generous) in writing, if they refuse, just pay it anyway, they will not take any action against you as they will be ridiculed in court.

 

Have they sent you a copy of your CCA for this alleged debt? What about all the others?

Hi, Thanks for the superfast reply, you guys are brill. I was thinking about the CCA and looked at all the stuff I had from NW about the loan but found nothing about the credit card in that . Do you think I should ask for one? For all I know, they may not have a signed agreement as it seems the loan people don't. Although I must admit ,these credit card people seem a bit more on the mark. The other debts I have don't seem to be a problem, they have not been aggressive and seem to leave me alone to just pay them a small amount each month. 2 of them are almost paid off now (TG) . I did make the £20 offer in writing on the I/O form but they refused it and say that they want £47.19 per month for the next 6 months after which a full review of financial situation will be required and with this arrangement no interest will be charged. Should i default on any monthly repayments they will place account in hands of external DCA without warning or delay. Nice.

Yeah well their puerile letter is all bluff and bluster, they seem to think that by sounding aggressive they somehow have the upper hand when in actual fact they are lucky they breathe the same air!

 

If it is for a credit card, and these have already rocked the boat and are getting greedy, then a CCA request won't hurt at all, it will at least send them the message that maybe they should have accepted your first offer and been happy.

When was the card taken out? Pre 2007?

Hi, Not absolutely sure but have found a letter dated April 2006 when I was offering to pay £1 per month to them so the card must have been taken out either in 2004 or 2005 , definately could not have been later than 2005.

Thanks for that, will send off my postal order soon as. In the meantime I have a direct debit set up for the £37 per month that I've been paying and its due to go out on the 10th of April. They obviously expect that to be changed to the £48 this time. What would be the best thing to do, Change it to £20 or cancel direct debit altogether?

Hi Hippy! I hope you're in fine form! I'm sure Bazooka and others will be along soon, but may I just mention that a direct debit is a very bad idea. I would cancel this immediately! I would also withold any payment until you get the CCA back. If you really want to pay something I would pay £1 maximum. This is a non priority debt, you have other issues to contend with, such as rent, council tax etc.

 

Just remember, the odd magic mushroom now and again never did anyone any harm!

 

Best wishes

OK the direct debit should be cancelled immediately, how long have they got to reply to your CCA request?

 

IMO it would be a bad pre-emptive strike to stop payment if they are still within the time limit laid down, the choice is yours, but if they do come up with the goods, then no payment at all would not look good if it got to the legal stage.

So if you don't want to pay them THEIR chosen amount, cancel the DD and pay them £1.

Hi all, I sent for the CCA and have given them the time to get back to me but so far have heard nothing from them. I sent the postal order 1st class with proof of posting and have kept the receipt. Do I have to send them another letter now? If so, what do I say? Thanks.

Well if "Helpful banking" have failed to supply you with your CCA request, then the "FAILED" letter is the next step, along with reciprocating their childish attitude and ignore them. Open up their own complaints procedure with the sole intent of exhausting it so you can then escalate your complaint.

Once again 2nd class, and obtain "Proof of posting"

Hi all, I sent the ' failed to comply' letter to nasty west by recorded delivery. Unfortunately, this morning I received a letter from them containing everything I had asked for including a signed copy of the agreement (ho hum) It is late getting to me, passed the 12+2 days on Friday last week. Should I now concentrate on offering them less per month ( I will actually be getting much less income in about 2 months as my daughter leaves full time education so I will lose child benfit and child tax credits, probably be about 280 ponds per month worse off.) Or do I keep up the in dispute thing? Thanks for all your help so far.

Without sight of the docs they sent you it would be impossible to advise. The 'in dispute' argument has now gone as they have complied to a certain degree, if you can scan & post the docs on here, then others will be able to advise, but PLEASE ensure yo remove ALL identification from the docs, bar codes ref numbers etc.

Hi, having tried and failed miserably, i cannot seem to scan it properly. I scan but cannot copy and paste it to here, sorry. Am expecting a letter from NW to say account not in dispute after all (although they were late) My only idea is to tell them my money is going down and make another offer. Does that sound right? Thanks again for all your help.

Is that all of it??

 

If that is all they have sent you then you can reply with this http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/content.php?415-POSSIBLE-Letter-when-a-questionable-agreement-application-is-sent.
