    • Not at all.  The onus is on them to ensure that their invoice respects the provisions of Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 to establish keeper liability.  Which it can't as the area is covered by bye-laws. Spot on. Irrelevant as to whether you entered into a contract with VCS to pay them £100 if you didn't obey what was written on their silly signs. Who cares?  What about their ridiculous generic Particulars of Claim where they deliberately mix up driver and keeper. And where do they mention this?  You haven't shown us anything. Of course you have to prepare a Witness Statement and you'd better get on with it. This is the problem here - you've disappeared for months & months, haven't kept us updated and presumably haven't read other VCS threads.  That needs to change - now. Otherwise you will lose - simple as that. For a start - please upload the court order which fixes the hearing date plus plus where "VCS mentioned my initial defence was generic and clearly copied from the internet".  We're not mind readers.

    • Hi,  It has been a long time but I have had confirmation claim will proceed to hearing in roughly 1 months time.  I was wondering if anyone could advise on defence please.  A few questions I have are: 1) I didn't notify VCS that I was not the driver of the vehicle and the judge may look negatively on this point.  I did not receive any direction in correspondence from VCS  that I should inform them if I was not the driver and that was going to be the foundation for may argument on this point. 2) The vehicle is stopped at a zebra crossing.  Based on the images from VCS for around 10 seconds.  At that time there is someone standing near the zebra crossing and someone else enters my vehicle.  I was going to raise the point that stopping at a zebra crossing when someone is standing near it is to be expected.  I was also going to ask the question how you can have a no stopping zone when there are zebra crossings where the driver is required to stop. 3) The no stopping zone is clearly signposted, however, no drop off or pickup is not clearly signposted with one small sign at the zebra crossing, parallel to the road and on the passengers side.  I was going to challenge that no-drop off or pickup is clearly signposted.  4) VCS mentioned my initial defence was generic and clearly copied from the internet.  It covered 1) Claimant not being in a position to state if the Defendant was the driver at the time.  2) No evidence that claimant's contract with landowner supersedes byelaws & signage isn't legally binding contract. 3) No contractual costs and interest cannot be accrued on speculative charge. I am interested to know if anyone has had success or been unsuccessful with this 'generic' defence. 5) If I should submit an updated defence to the court based on questions 1, 2 & 3.  Or if it is better to only raise these points in court? Thanks.  Any guidance would be 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.

Thanks citizenB but what response should I give to CrapQuest?

 

I just checked on Post Office Track N Trace and even though the letter was sent last year it still says 'Information on your item is not yet available online'!!

 

Looks like I would have to restart my complaint.In this sense what whould you advise me to write to for CapQuest and Sainsburys.

 

 

Yep, looks like you will need to start your claim with Sainsburys. Although I suspect they have received it and just not signed for it.

 

I would just rewrite your original complaint to Sainsbury.. ie the reason you were mis sold PPI. They have 8 weeks to resolve the complaint. Did you prepare a spreadsheet with all the charges on ? If not, then I suggest you get one of those sorted out. There is a spreadsheet in the library that you can use. It automatically calculates the amount of interest on a daily basis.

 

To CapQuest, just a short letter saying that you are chasing up your complaint with Sainsbury and in the event that you dont receive a response in good time, you will be making a formal complaint to the FOS.

 

.. you dont need to advise that you have had to restart it.

 

HTH

I went to grammer skool too. They didn't teach me nuffink about DCAs though :D

 

Hi there

 

what is is this "MONIES" they seem to want.

 

I thought if I owed something it was either CASH or MONEY.

 

Crappyquest in any case should possibly be reported to Companies House / Inland revenue as they are another one of these SARL (off shore Luxembourg etc) companies whose directors buy debts for PENNIES in the pound, attempt to collect often MORE than the debtors original amount and don't contribute ANYTHING to the UK economy - they certainly avoid paying as much UK tax as possible so next time you see pictures of nice Yachts in Monte Carlo or the Bahamas -- remind yourselves that's where money fleeced out of you by crappyquest goes to.

 

If you can - please do ANYTHING to avoid paying these leeches a penny. Even if the debts are yours see if there is another way of paying rather than giving it to this lot -- otherwise see if you can get the nominal 1 GBP a month payment arrangement via a Court.

 

If you Must pay a DCA at least pay one who at least are paying their fair share of UK tax so something goes back into the economy.

 

Cheers

Hi CitizenB

 

 

"I would just rewrite your original complaint to Sainsbury.. ie the reason you were mis sold PPI. They have 8 weeks to resolve the complaint. Did you prepare a spreadsheet with all the charges on ?

I have looked in the Library but cannot find the spreadsheet. Please could you provide a link.

Thanks

Cheers citizenB

I have sent Sainsburys a letter complaining about the misselling of the PPI. I did not send them the spreadsheet as I had already sent them the letter before you gave me the link.

I will wait to hear from them in due course.

Received letter from CrapQuest with the following;

I write in response of your recent correspondence dated 5th march 2011 of which your comments have been duly noted.

Thank you for advising me of your complaint with Sainsburys Bank plc and that you may be escalating this matter with the Financial Ombudsman Service if you do not receive a response.

In order to assit you whilst Sainsburys Bank or the Financial Ombudsman Sevice may investigate your complaint I have placed your account on hold for an initial period of one month. If you require any further assistance with reference to your account please do not hesitate to contact me further.

Now Sainsburys have yet to contact me regarding the letter I sent for the PPI.

What course of action do I have?

Secondly how should word my letter so that CrapQuest would stop bothering me?

Thanks for all who have responded so far.

Received this from CrapQuest-

As you will be aware we have communicated with you over a period of time to resolve this without the need for legal action. Extra costs incurred as a result of any litigation will be added to your balance, if we succeed in obtaining Judgement against you. My name is XXX XXX and I have been appointed as your case handling supervisor.Together with my team it is my responsiblilty to progress your account through the litigation process but also to assist and inform you on any query or question you may have.

Your case may be processed and passed to our solicitors on or around 16th Jun 2011 a process you can stop by telephoning XXXXXX to discuss your account and reaching an amicable solution.I will not be demanding payment in full. I will be open to suggestions from you on how this account can be settled. I have the authority to make arrangements that may save you a considerable amount of money.

You still have the opportunity to stop legal action and the possibility of settling your account over a period of time and by a method that is suitable for you. I trust that you will take this opportunity to contact us and save yourself the possible expense of litigation and the problems that any litigation in which we are successful would possibly cause your credit file.

 

I have restarted my PPI claim against Sainsburys and they have phoned me back to confirm.

Now the problem I have is CrapQuest sending me letters when they know that I am still in the process of reclaiming PPI.

What can I do????

 

cheers

Or just write CrapQuest a short note advising that this account is subject to a formal complaint to both the Original Creditor AND the FOS and you will pass on CrapQuests blatant disregard in continuing to pursue and threaten when there is an official dispute in process.

Indeed, it is a very cleverly constructed letter to make you think that you might actually talk to someone who can listen and make real decisions. However, in reality you just end up with the standard monkeys in the call centre. (And yes I fell for it once upon a time!) Don't let the threats scare you, and do as CitizenB suggests.

Hi All

Firstly thank you for giving me the advice over this thread.

 

Secondly I have received this letter from CrapQuest.

As you will now be aware your account is being processed for legal action.

 

I am corresponding with you as teh Managing Director of the CapQuest Group. Your account has been preselected for a one time solution to settle your account.

 

This is not a gimmick and nothing sinister, just a project that I am personally promoting to encourage you to clear this debt and save a considerable amount of money doing so.

 

My plan is simple

1. You agree to pay an amount of your choosing by Direct Debit

 

2. For each payment you will make in line with arrangements made then we will credit you with an equal amount of 30% of your payment.

That is to say you pay £50 and we will credit your account with another £15.

 

If you comply you will save x amount.

 

Now my question is this if I wish to pay these monkeys back what should I do given that I want to give them as little as possible so that they are off my back.

 

thanks
