    • That is great news. Many people would have given up and paid after losing two appeals so well done for hanging in and fighting. It has paid off and they have finally backed down before getting whipped in Court. I looked at your NTD and your NTK again to see if there was a chance of going for a breach of your GDPR. Sadly although your NTK on its own could have well deserved a claim, the NTD is good enough not to warrant a claim even though it wasn;t compliant with PoFA. As it is the first Notice that mostly accounts for  GDPR breaches there is a reasonable cause for the NTD to have been issued. However you are now freed from worries about appearing in Court and you have learnt about the dangers of parking especially where the rogues that patrol private parking spaces are concerned. Thank you for making a donation and should you fall victim in the future to the parking rogues or anything else that we protect from, you are always welcome .
    • Hi guys I'm about to submit the defence as per below     There has been no reply to our CPR 31:14 request.  Is it worth adding that I (driver, not registered keeper) didn't actually enter or park in the car park and was sat at the petrol station forecourt the entire time?  Or is that covered by the simple points?   Thanks
    • a DCA is not a bailiff and cant enforce anything, even if they've been to court who are they please? sar to the original creditor FIO isnt applicable they are not a public body. who was this query sent too all the more reason to teach her young upon how these powerless DCA's monsters  work... she must stop payments now  
    • Unsettling the applecart?,  I'm going to be direct here, I know how this works , I've been in far worse situation than your relative, and I can assure you , now that there i likely a default in her name, it makes absolutely ZERO difference if she pays or not. Denzel Washington in the Equalizer , 'My only regret is that I can't kill you twice'... It's the same with a default, they can only do it once and it stays on your credit file for 6 years if she pays or not, and as it stands right now she's flushing £180 of her hard earned money down the toilet  so that the chaps at Lowell can afford a Christmas party. As for the SAR this is everybody's legal right, originally under the Data Protection act 1998 and now under GDPR, it's her right to find out everything that the original Creditor has on her file, and by not doing it the only person she is doing a massive disservice to is her self. As the father of 2 young adults myself, they need to learn at some point.. right?
    • Thank you for your pointers - much appreciated. dx100uk - Apologies, my request wasn't for super urgent advice and I have limited online access due to my long working hours and caring obligations - the delay in my response doesn't arise in any way from disrespect or ingratitude. I will speak to her at the weekend and see if she will open up a bit more about this, and allow me to submit the subject access request you advise - the original creditor is 118 118 loans and from the letter I saw (which prompted the conversation and the information) the debt collection agency had bought the debt from 118 and were threatening enforcement which is when she has made a payment arrangement with them for an amount of £180 per month. It looks as if she queried matters at the time (so I wonder if I might with the FIO request get access to their investigation file?) - the letter they wrote said "The information that you provided has been carefully considered and reviewed. After all relevant enquiries were made it has been confirmed that there is not enough evidence present to conclusively prove that this application was fraudulent.  However, we have removed the interest as a gesture of goodwill. As a result of the findings, you will be held liable for the capital amount on the loan on the basis of the information found during the investigation and you will be pursued for repayment of the loan agreement executed on 2.11.2022 in accordance with Consumer Credit Act 1974"  The amount at that time was over £3600 in arrears, as no payments had been made on it since inception and I think she only found out about it when a default notice came in paper form. I'm a little reluctant to advise her to just stop paying, and would like to be able to form a view in relation to her position and options before unsetting the applecart - do you think this is reasonable? She is young and inexperienced with these things and getting into this situation has brought about a lot of shame regarding inability to sort things out/stand up for herself, which is one of the reasons I have only found out about this considerably later Thank you once again for your advice - it is very much appreciated.

    • 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.

Case is going well,

 

I have most of the evidence now and the companies "alleged evidence" actually proves OH version of events and the "witness statement" doesn't actually contain anything relating to the "alleged" incident at all.

There is no mention of OH asking for a pin code at all despite the fact that you can see staff member access a account to get access code.

 

Just waiting for a date to be set and then can go from there, we have exchanged lists of documents we want to use and there is nothing in the companies that make sense, each bit they are hoping to use has been contradicted by another bit they want to use.

No surprises except for the fact that the "witness statements" do not match the CCTV. They claim events happened when CCTV shows it didn't and the CCTV does in fact prove OH version of events lol.

 

Just a waiting game for now but now i have got hold of the evidence it really does prove they have no case lol.

I got a court order forcing them to release it, they didn't release it through choice and now i have it i can see why they didnt want to release it lol.

 

CCTV shows OH version of events and proves "witness statement" from staff member is incorrect as it does not tally in with the CCTV.

 

Weather this is delibrately incorrect or just a mistake i do not know but the written statement does not match the CCTV and the evidence provided by one staff member seems to conflict with other evidence provided by another staff member which then conflicts with another staff member. Which makes it hard to know what the company believe happened as it is certainly not clear from the evidence they have provided.

 

The only thing that is clear is that the CCTV does match OH version of events almost perfectly.

The company have asked what i am looking for and they are also well aware that i am perfectly happy to settle before the hearing.

 

I believe that ACAS is also trying to settle the case before the hearing so i will leave that for them to sort out, they know what i want and to the best of my knowledge the company have point blank refused to talk so who knows.

Hi,

 

Wont make much difference to the et unless they directly relate to each other, what was the exact nature of the court case again.

 

well done you for getting compensation, shows they were in the wrong from day one, perhaps they may be wrong in the et ?

 

go ahead and book that well earned holiday now. lol

They admitted they were wrong about the County Court case ages ago lol.

 

It was about Data Protection issues and non compliance etc.

 

The evidence for the ET also shows they were in the wrong and that the right hand didn't know what the left was doing which is why the staff's evidence seems to conflict etc.

 

OH is going skydiving with the compensation lol, rather him than me.

ICO were investigating company for OH so i haven't really been involved in that to be honest.

 

I would guess that as they paid out for County Court etc then the ICO have either told them thay have breached the Data Protection Act or something along thoses lines.

 

I am not really interested in the ICO case tbh that was more OH.

Hi,

 

Was just curious to see if they are failing in everything, would be very good news if the ico found them guilty as well as the county court, this could be mentioned in the et, would show the company has consistently failed to meet the standards expected of them.

 

But on the other hand would be very bad if the ico voted in ther companies favor, as they would definetly raise this in the et.

I wouldn't have thought the company would want anything from the ICO in the ET.

 

It is not really directly related to the ET and as they may paid out to OH i would imagine it would be loked upon in my favour anyway however as i said it's not part of the ET as far as im aware.

Hi,

 

just a bit of friendly advice,

 

you will need to know your case inside and out, even though your oh is representing you the et will expect you to know all the facts and angles to do with your own et case.

 

you have to be well prepared as im sure the company will question you, and saying "as far as im aware" will not go down well with the et judge.

I do know my case inside and out, ICO/County Court has had nothing at all to do with me and is not directly related to the events being discussed at the ET so i very much doubt they will mention this at all, especially as they have paid out for the County Court case presumably due to them being in the wrong.

 

I will know the ins and out of OH stuff nearer the time as/when and if its needed, atm we have no date for hearing so there is no need to know it yet plus as i said i do not think the ICO have completed the case, i know they wrote to say they agreed with OH that it appeared that the company have been non compliant with the Data Protection Act and that they would investigate however i do not think we have the final decision as of yet.

Yeah, ICO agreed fully with OH and found against the company, Not sure what they do now though i guess fine them or something along those lines.

 

Still no date yet for ET, I guess what with all the redundancies and that the ET are pretty busy, its just the waiting game now and i think the longer it goes on the more chance the other side trying to settle etc as i would imagine its not cheap for them really.

I have a list, a very long list and everything they are going to use is on it but i also have loads of documents that they wont be using etc.

 

Basically they have to slim down there list of documents as they have masses of paperwork atm and we will only use around 1/4 of it.

 

I dont have some witness statements but i wont get those until 21 days before the hearing date which as of yet hasn't been set.

 

I have everything i need to draft a strong defence but it would be helpful if i know what they would be using as opposed to what they might be using.
