      John Lewis shoplifting

      By Byb · Posted

      Hi Caught Shoplifting at John Lewis - Retail loss Prevention/Other shoplifting allegations. - Consumer Action Group Thanks a lot for commenting this experience of yours. I do understand this might be something that you are not willing to talk about anymore but the same exact scenario happened with me today at John Lewis. They took my name/ address/ a picture of me holding a signed banned letter. the only questions I've got are... will I be contacted by the police will this be recorded as police caution or criminal record?  I would really really appreciate if you could let me know how it went.  I am so so so ashamed of myself and am really making changes in my life I feel like I've lost myself for a period of my life but anyways it would be really great to hear back. Thanks

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

Hello,

I am the Old Worcester referred to by bigglesnooker recently. I am going to court on the 13th July and thought I would let you know as this is a very helpful forum.

Thank you

Colin

 

Lost the case I'm afraid. Hope I wasn't the first although I probably was. Appealing is really expensive it seems.

The only pleasure I got out of it was the solicitor's face (OPC) when the magistrate was summing up the money (£155) and she, the solicitor, said and my costs as well. The magistrate seemed to get pleasure out of saying to her "This is a small claims court, you don't get fees"

Surely the solicitor would have known that? I wonder if OPC will have to pay her as they appointed her.

Are you sure it was a magistrate? I thought they only dealt with criminal cases.

why would a magistrate be in a small claims court ?????
Probably because to people inexperienced at court, the words magistrate and judge are interchangeable

sniff sniff Troll?

dont think we will hear any more from he/she/it/troll

 

If i was the OP, I wouldn't either after knee-jerk reactions like these

My inexperience showing there as come to think of it that is an assumption on my part about being a magistrate. However, I did loose the case and I thought I was fairly well prepared.

Someone asked how much OPC were awarded. £100 plus interest plus £50 costs = £155.44.

As I mentioned the solicitor got nothing and didn't look too happy about it.

Grounds to the best of my memory - Basically OPC offered a load of pictures of parking signs as their defence (none near where I parked). She couldn't even say where they were as she was not familiar with the area.

Judge ? - said although he appreciated that no provision appears to have been made for OWs to visit and park anywhere near their memorial he inferred that I would have seen at least one sign even the one in my picture in the distance. Therefore, OPC have a legal right to the money. I said I saw no signs as I was not from the area and visiting the site of my old ship HMS Worcester I was not looking for any signs.

That's the gist of it really. I would like to appeal but it costs money.

My main feeling coming out of this is that I have been called a liar and I don't like that at all.

From what I have seen on this site, there are no arguments that the [problematic] can use that can cause any one in a county court to find in their favour unless you fail to turn up. So I am very curious because this seems to be the first defended case ever won, or am I mistaken.

Either Colin is telling fibs (if you are not I appologise) or he is a troll. So what is he Troll or Unlucky (cue Harry Enfield)

 

No I am not telling fibs. And what is a troll with reference to me ?

That is a bit severe and uncalled for. let Colin tell us. No defence against OPC that has come from CAG has failed that we know of..

 

Thanks for that. I had no defence from here but I may have been more successful if I had. I think the Judge latched onto one photo that I took that showed a sign in the distance. I hadn't seen the sign myself and had no idea what was on it. Maybe one should not be honest enough to incriminate ones self.

I probably just did it wrong. Just tried to be straight and honest, probably not the best way to be these days.

In this context, they are effectively accusing you of being an OPC mole, which I don't believe for a minute.

 

Personally I think you deserve an apology form those accusers, but I doubt that will happen, so I apologise on their behalf.
