    • Between yourself and Dave you have produced a very good WS. However if you were to do a harder hitting WS it may be that VCS would be more likely to cancel prior to a hearing. The Contract . VCS [Jake Burgess?] are trying to conflate parking in a car park to driving along a road in order to defend the indefensible. It is well known that "NO Stopping " cannot form a contract as it is prohibitory. VCS know that well as they lose time and again in Court when claiming it is contractual. By mixing up parking with driving they hope to deflect from the fact trying to claim that No Stopping is contractual is tantamount to perjury. No wonder mr Burgess doesn't want to appear in Court. Conflation also disguises the fact that while parking in a car park for a period of time can be interpreted as the acceptance of the contract that is not the case while driving down a road. The Defendant was going to the airport so it is ludicrous to suggest that driving by a No Stopping  sign is tacitly accepting  the  contract -especially as no contract is even being offered. And even if a motorist did not wish to be bound by the so called contract what could they do? Forfeit their flight and still have to stop their car to turn around? Put like that the whole scenario posed by Mr Burgess that the Defendant accepted the contract by driving past the sign is absolutely absurd and indefensible. I certainly would not want to appear in Court defending that statement either. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will do the contract itself later.
    • Yes - ignore. Because of another MET victim today I looked at all our MET cases back to June 2014 ... yes, 10 years. They have never dared take a motorist to court and argue their case before a judge.  They have started the odd court case, but as a means of trying to intimidate the motorist into coughing up, when the motorist defended and refused to give in it was MET who bottled it and discontinued.
    • Unpaid wages should be pretty straightforward if you did the work. Don't be intimidated. You need only show you were due money, and did not get money.   The risk is that they have no money to pay you (and legal fees) - frankly a solicitor maybe be costing them more than your claim is for and I might have expected them to make a commercial decision to settle before this point regardless of the merits of the case.
    • Thanks so much FTMDave.  This is so much better   I'm still tempted to leave the blue section in is as if I lose it will at least save me a little bit of money.  But I get your point that it's pretty superfluous.   Thinking I'll get this in the post on Monday unless you think it's worth delaying?   
    • Hi All I have now received a Final Reminder, which I have attached. Can you confirm that I should still ignore this letter and take no further action. It does not appear to say "Letter of Claim" anywhere on the document but I just wanted to check with you all. Many thanks FightUnfairParkingTickets Parking Charge Final Reminder issued 29th May 2024.pdf

    • 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.

Whilst many people ask many questions on this board, its a sad fact that occasionally people with the best intentions of answering posts, have to put up with arrogance and rudeness from those asking the questions and not receiving the answers they would like. This often happens with newbies like yourself who are not very enlightened in the worldly ways of good manners/conduct.:rolleyes: Your replies are quite rude. You also finish your last post with "judge not lest thee be judged" quoted by the THE HYPOCRITES.

How then can you make this judgement on 9th Feb quote "No offence, but I doubt that a birth certificate would be acceptable. Think about it. It seems that the stupidity inherent in this comment is corroberated by the rest of your post" without coming over as being a hypocrite

If indeed you are 25, although from your arrogance and immaturity I have my doubts, it just confirms to me that our education system in this country has been letting us down for the past 20 years;).

Dont forget ...its nice to be nice:lol:

OK...I am man enough to accept where I have done wrong. Both the comment about the birth certificate and the comment about the expression of opinion which didn't answer the question were on the rude side at best, and out of order at worst. Sorry guys. I hope you accept this apology - I don't know who has been ****ing in my shreddies.

 

Lastly, you have insulted me by insinuating that I am uneducated and/or stupid. Nothing angers me more than that because there is nothing more untrue than that. Stating that somebody has made a stupid comment, and stating that somebody is stupid are two different things. You then wrote "it's nice to be nice" - something which I am now won over by, if I was not already. Maybe you should take your own advice and apologise.

You have my apology.

If my comments turned your attitude around then that's a good thing because most people on this site are only trying to help.

I hope that at some stage in the future you will also be able give advice and help to someone on this site, its actually quite satisfying.

 

Regards

Greigster:)

Thanks....I think I sometimes take the idea of being "frictional" a little bit too far.

 

It's nice that we managed to resolve this situation like adults, instead of taking it on a downward spiral.

 

Best regards,

Actually, i did take offence to your comment to me, about the "Stupidity inherent in my post", but decided to let it go, as this site has been very helpful to myself and others and just wastes time and effort in arguing.

I am 26 years old, my partner is 31. We were refused alcohol (2 bottles of wine within our weekly shop!) at Tesco and banned from buying alcohol for 24 hours. My partner was paying, but they refused to serve us as I look under 25 and didn't have ID. They also told me I DID look over 18, but as I couldn't prove I'm over 25 they wouldn't serve me.

Since when does the law state that you have to look over 25 for the person who is with you to buy alcohol??

If you agree that challenge 25 is completely the wrong way to combat under age drinking, please search for and join Consumers Against 'Think 25 Policy' on Facebook.

They have the 'Think 25' policy there for a reason, most supermarkets operate this policy to help staff not make an error that could cost them there jobs and screw there lives up with a criminal record.

 

You won't get supermarkets changing there policy and don't forgot they don't have to sell it to you anyway. The simple way is always carry id with you.

What if you have no I.D. This is not a police state so why should people be forced to carry I.D when going about their lawful business shopping.

 

Far simpler is to boycott supermarket alcohol sales, and go to your local off-licence, where they will get to know you, give advice on purchases, and generally act as if they welcome your custom.

So what you are saying is if I want to buy alcohol I need to carry my passport with me all the time or pay for a driving license? Just to get a bottle of wine or two in with my weekly shop even though I'm obviously over the legal age (so there is NO risk of a criminal charge to them which they admit!!)

No shop has to serve anyone, but really have a look at a lot of forums. People are being refused service because they've said 'hello' to someone they know on the next checkout, or got chatting to the person in front of them while they wait.

I'm not pretending I can change the world, but having the attitude that no matter what you do nothing will change isn't going to get anywhere. There are so many different forums and places people are complaining, all I'm trying to do is get everyone complaining in one place. It's a start.

I agree with the above, but for us that means two car trips to two different places. Threshers is no longer!! lol.

In case anyone is following this thread, it looks as if Challange 25 will be mandatory under Scottish law for on-sales (pubs and clubs) starting 1 October. I am not sure if this applies to the off-trade.

 

Like many here I think Challenge 21 was quite enough of a margin of error to work in to ensure that you don't sell to the underage. I don't remember the last time I had to show ID but I do have to ID people as I work in a shop. If you are worried about whether someone is 25 or not they are not going to be too young to purchase alcohol legally.

 

I'm too much of a novice to post links but look for an article in the Herald entitled Row over handling of under 25 rule for pubs
