    • Hi LFI, With regard to the ANPR cameras in your post #65, while I was on the phone to the Planning Department, they did take a look at Google Streetview and went back to 2012 where they could see the ANPR cameras in place so therefore they would have deemed consent. I had previously read the T&C Planning Regulations and had read the section on deemed consent so I understood the point they made on the phone. It doesn't matter though, that doesn't harm my case any, and I shouldn't really mention this now, (this is what you reminded me of on another thread) but in the past I was a member of a scheme that gave me access to legal advice, I have spoken to a barrister previously through this scheme on another matter and I think I am still a member. I am going to check if I am still a member of the scheme, and if I am I will discuss my case with a barrister or solicitor, whichever the scheme deems appropriate. I will let you know the outcome. I am also going to take Bankfodders advice in the sticky and go to the local court and ask if I can sit in on a case in the Judges office.
    • deed?  you mean consent order you and her signed? concluding the case as long as you nor she break it's conditions signed upto? dx Yes sorry. they called it a deed at first in court.  Then Judge said she was happy to have it sealed as something else  exact names of orders in message above.     The disease was tested for when his cardiac testing was done immediately after purchase and part of the now sealed case.   However, results were disclosed incorrectly and I only found out  two days ago.   This disease did not form part of my knowledge during the case as I had been informed of a normal result that was not the case.   it is perfect clarity of a genetic disease where as the previous cardiac issue could be congenital until the pup is genetically tested. 
    • Hi, Halifax recently sold a credit card account of mine to Cabot. I am unemployed and have no assets and was thinking of making token £1 payments for 12-18 months in order to drag things out a bit and reduce the chance of Cabot being able to get the correct CCA documents from Halifax if I requested them in future. However, I saw on the pages on this forum about defending county court claims that one of the standard approaches when defending such claims is to say “I had an account with bank X, but I don’t remember the details and so don’t know if I owe this debt…”. If I made £1 payments to Cabot, would it prevent me from using such a defence in future? OC: Halifax DC: Cabot/Wescot Card account opened: 2016 Defaulted: 2023
    • Paperwork says sealed consent order and composite settlement agreement      YES  ADDISONS DISEASE 
    • Hi, This may be the wrong place for a thread BUT If you receive a defence, can you send a CPR 31.14 request for document mentioned in the defence, and then apply to proceed with the case only after (14) days passed or they respond OR is it only if you receive a claim I see @dx100uk thread is for when you receive a claim, but can you also do the same when you receive a defence?

    • 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.

really hope some one can help me.

 

I’m an extremely stressed out parent and have no where to turn.

 

I sent my 17 year old son to a private college last year where I WAS PAYING 15K per year. My son initially started with three A levels - he started having problem with one of the subject teachers and they removed him from the subject in the second term so they then were only teaching him two AS subjects per term - they did put him in for a third AS subject but he was very behind and no attention was given to him to help him catch up. I did speak to the school to allow him to continue with his initial subject or otherwise only teach him two AS levels with him possibly doing a short course in the summer for his third subject thy didn’t allow this but registered him for a third subject but then removed him from this within the third term. The education he received was horrendous with me spending every waking hour I could muster after work to teach him to get him through his first set of exams.

 

I didn’t pay the final terms fees as I was arguing I was only liable to pay for two subjects (its £1665 per subject per term) and as it turned out my cheque for the second term wasn’t received by the college either (which they never mentioned until sending me a court summons for a debt of £10,000).

 

I don’t know what to do! I filed a defence and now am set for an allocation hearing on the 5th of January. The college are lying and saying I didn’t pay for his college trip fee when I did (which they accepted orally over the phone that they were wrong to make a claim for this) they're claiming for three subjects per term when my son was only taught and entered in exams for two AS subjects!

 

What can I do? I don’t want to pay any of the fees now as they refused to release his results and give a reference to another college which I wanted to put him in this yr leading to my son not being in any college for this year. He’s in essence lost out on two years education as they have refused to release his first yr results and he has lost out on an academic year. Please help me - I can’t afford to go to the solicitors either. I just wanted a bright future for my son and now he is so disillusioned by the whole education process that he no longer wants to pursue his education.

 

Please any advice would be most appreciated.

Such matters are a bit specialised and maybe those that know about such things haven't logged over the New Year.

 

I know this isn't of much direct help but a lot of private schools are feeling the pinch as parents pull their children out and send them to state schools. The private schools are being pretty aggressive chasing up what they think are delinquent debts.

 

In your case you must be prepared for a tough battle. First of all ensure you have a record of all your payments and a copies of all correspondence. You will in any case need these if the matter ends up in court.

Secondly write up the full story in chronological order. Include everything. If you cannot put an exact date on an event then put your best estimate.

Do your telphone bills have an itemised list of calls? You will be able to check telephone call dates if so.

 

Sorry I can't be more specific. Hopefully this post will encourage others to step in.

I really do appreciate all those 'thank you' emails - I'm glad I've been able to help. Apologies if I haven't acknowledged all of them.

You can also ding my gong if you prefer. :)
