    • Your case shows the idiocy of employing a solicitor to do things you could easily do yourself. Had Countryside dealt with their own case they would have entered judgement on 4 June and there would have been no way back for you. But they thought they were clever by running to Rachael and Sean of BW Legal for a more "professional" (aye, right) service.  These dodgy solicitors can only make money on private parking cases by doing everything on the ultra cheap and certainly cant check the judgement date for every single separate case. Ho!  Ho!  Ho! Anyway, glad you got the defence filed OK. The next stage is that the central bulk court will send out a simple form called a Directions Questionnaire to you and to Countrywide which is part of the allocations process to your local court.  If you read this short thread you will see all the stages of the court process  https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/406892-highview-parking-anpr-pcn-claimform-urban-exchange-manchester-claim-dismissed/#comments
    • It is already trespass, nothing further needed to make out trespass. Not sure where ‘interference with goods’ helps you / how you’d bring a claim for that that stops them parking there.
    • Thanks Dx,    For some further information, the holiday was booked as a package holiday for 2. One of the 2 had to be changed, and changing costs £700 for a new flight as "tickets had been issued and they cant do a name change". I cant quite figure out how compensation works for things when it comes to package holidays.    From what I can tell  - The plane was due to land in Turks and Caicos to drop off passengers, something happened during descent, resulting in technical fault.  - The rest of the original flight from Turks & Caicos -> Montego Bay was cancelled  - A New flight was put on today, which was then delayed by 1.5hrs aswell  - Hotel was provided for the night after much hassle.  - 1.5 days, 2 evenings of holiday lost  If I understand correctly, since the original flight (LHR -> Turks -> Montego Bay) was cancelled, they are both entitled to a refund on that full flight? I can't quite work out if they are only entitled to a refund for the equivalent of Turks -> Montego Bay, or for the full LHR->Turks->Montego Bay, since it was issued as one ticket/all Virgin, and they should have arrived yesterday..?)  I can't work out how to get the cost of that compensation, or whether its a set figure, and how the loss of days of holiday is factored in   I am aware:  If you received less than 14 days’ notice of the cancellation, you are generally due compensation, awarded in pounds or euros depending on where your flight was due to depart from, according to the following scale: £220 / €250 for all flights of 1,500km or less (e.g. Glasgow to Amsterdam); £350 / €400 for all flights between 1,500km and 3,500km (e.g. East Midlands to Marrakech); £520 / €600 for all other flights (e.g. London to New York). Compensation will be reduced by 50% if the arrival time of the replacement flight doesn’t exceed the arrival time of the original flight by: two hours for flights of 1,500km or less; three hours for flights between 1,500km and 3,500km; four hours for all other flights. So I "think" its £520pp for the flight part as compensation (7500km)... but some sites say its a full refund for the flight... is it both?  Thanks,  Ryan  
    • Our business was only transacted digitally as I was not in England at that time.  
    • Funny. But not sure I should ! Wondering if I could place pots and plants - which a) would look nice and b) would it then be trespass and interference of goods?

    • 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.

WA Newman, may you always have cold beer, loose shoes and a warm place to defecate.

 

In answer to one of your questions from the horses mouth, so to speak, Pie and Queer requested my details through the Canadian DCA, the Canadian DCA then made a request to B'lays. B'lays sent data to canadian DCA and forward to Pie and fear.

 

I Know this because A nice lady from B'Lays told me when I phoned up and asked how Pie and beer got my personnal data. At the time I wondered if she really knew the full implications of her disclosure.

Though ignorace maybe claimed, B'Lays knew along the route and loop holes required to get the data to these sunburnt shores.

 

Power to the people, stick it to the man.

Ooooohhh...Miss, she said the "P" word!

 

Very interesting, if brief, post.

 

Methinks there is far more there than has been left unsaid than has been revealed.

 

Please shed some more light!

LOL.

I'm in the same boat as everyone else so am looking for ideas on how to deal with this. I've written to ASIC, the privacy commissioner, the accc. Department of Justice told me today to try fos. Just wanted to add it here. Haven't had any success with any avenue yet, but I'll let you know if I do.

Sorry, I don't say much most of the time. Been lurking for a long time. Probably should have done some sort of introduction before launching in.

ednae,

 

don't worry your complaints are being taken seriously. The privacy commisioner and ASIC are onto these idiots, they don't like to be made to look like they don't/won't/can't uphold the law, especially when it comes to DCA's and their actions. it could start a trend that no one wants.

Thanks. I hope it gets sorted. I feel like a complete idiot because I paid them (I think I must be the only person in Australia who did). Anyway, I don't care about the money, I just want to be able to get a loan to buy a house. Everything seems to take so long to get sorted. I seem to have letters from everyone saying that they are looking into it.

It's good that other people are having some success.

For the benefit of those with s/barred debts except for cornflakegirl and davedu who have read what I attached and do not need reminding.

 

Seevee, much as I've enjoyed your input, my knowledge regarding Stat-barred debts has come from my own research - Plonkers constantly harassed me for months (excessive phone calls at work, written legal threats & claims) over a 300 pound "debt" which was over 7 years old at the time the harassment started. Plonkers tried to mislead me into believing it wasn't Stat-barred, which is a tactic obviously successfully used against those without a basic understanding of Google.

 

I found your advice to...

 

"2) Politely ask plonkers never to contact you again re. the alledged debt. Third parties like your family do not have to assist and can also request this. There are strict rules around contact, read the guidelines and know your rights to just tell them to go away"

 

...highly amusing and obviously coming from a position of zero interaction with Plonkers. 8 seperate letters from me to Plonkers and The Ball legal folk did NOTHING to stop their harassment. Now that they have finally backed down & admitted their wrong-doing, I'll am pursuing every avenue I can to take them down. I am an extremely strong-willed person, but even I was getting stressed out by these vultures - I hope to prevent the same happening to anyone else.

 

WA Newman - fantastic news, so pleased to hear you may be setting a precedent! :)

Well done WA_NEWMAN,

 

Thank you for sharing your progress. Great morale booster for all the PFF. Write as many long posts as you want to ! The finishing line must be close. Plonkers picked on the wrong guy for their first case. Isn't that just typical ;)

right then we've just spoken to barclay shark... they confirm they sold the debts to international credit registry in ontario canada. Confirmed address etc which matches up with their web page....

 

the lawyers are going to love this...

 

so all the letters stating that the debts were bought from barclays are nonsense...

the other fact that has arisen is that they have no enforcable agreements that meet the prescribed terms as stipulated in the CCA 1974.

 

I wonder if those lemons leave a sour taste in the mouth!!!

Dont forget that you can reclaim all the £20 overlimit and late payment charges- AND the interest applied to those charges from the date they were applied, at the compounded rate. :D

 

Over here in the UK we have been reclaiming this money for the last 3 1/2 years. Ive had thousands back.

 

AND had one account written off in its entirety because of mis- sold Payment Protection Insurance.

 

Check the rest of the CAG site. There are template letters for you to download and send, in the CAG library

 

Not once have they defended a claim in court. :cool:

even when these alleged debts have been sold on many times and potentially defaulted many moons ago?

No, you would be reclaiming money paid under a mistake, concealment or fraud. Google s.32 Limitations Act 1980 and check out the Barclaycard section of this site.

 

Doesnt matter a Castlemaine XXXX if you admit the debt after its become SB. Under UK law, if its SB, it will always stay SB.

Start a thread in the Barclaycard section- you will get all the help you need to reclaim your unlawful charges and interest unlawfully applied to those charges.

 

It may sound too good to be true, but its a fact. We've all been doing it for years.

 

Good luck and have fun. :)

thx Noomill nice to have you as a friend indeed.

 

Will read up and go for it.

 

Now all we need is someone of the legal profession who knows a bit more about assignments from Sharklays to Canada to Australia.

It Just Keeps Getting Better !

 

I've only just got in and I guess most of you are already in bed. The meeting today took a little bit longer than I thought and the outcome was even better than I thought. I'm not going into detail on a forum that is monitored by Pie & Beer, but I'm really starting to enjoy this.

 

I don't normally drink during the day but made an exception and cracked open a bottle of bubbly. Not quite a Dom, but it tasted every bit as good.

 

Things went so well that I bought a lottery ticket on the way home. While I was in the newsagents I checked my lottery ticket from Tuesday and found out I had won the lottery. All I have to do now is figure how I'm going to spend my $13.60 .
