      G24 anpr PCN - Double Dipping - Wigan Robin Retail Park

      By FTMDave · Posted

      Well, that's it then. Clear proof of the rubbish cameras. Clear proof of double dipping. G24 won't be getting a penny. Belt & braces, I would write to the address LFI has found, include the evidence of double dipping, and ask Fraser Group to call their dogs off.

      80k debt

      By RodeMan · Posted

      LOL. after sending Perch capital a CCA request with a stapled £1 PO attached (x2) Their lapdog Legal team TM Legal have sent me two letters today saying "due to a recent payment on the account, your account is open to legal/enforcement action" so i guess they have tried to apply that payment to the account to run the statue bar along. dirty tactics lol.

      Advise on debt I currently hold

      By MANUKI12742 · Posted

      I have initiated the breathing space so ill wait. from re reading everything this what i understand BS gives me 60 days break from the creditors during these 60 days they may contact me and will most likely default I need to wait until after a default notice to see whether the OC will keep the debt or sell it off If kept by the OC then i should attempt a plan or pay some token payment? If sold to DCA then don't pay and after 6 years it will leave my credit report once the DN is registered with a date. DCA may start a CCJ but unlikely, if they do come back here. last question, do you know roughly how long this will all take? in terms of defaults/default notice, potential CCJ? Would you say I have 12 months plus from when the BS ends?

      MET CCTV PNC - Starbucks closed- Southgate Park, Stansted CM24 1PY

      By FTMDave · Posted

      Well, it's up to you. Years & years & years ago the forum used to suggest appealing to POPLA, but then AFAIK POPLA's remit was changed and it became much more biased in favour of the PPCs. One of the problems with taking that route is that the onus will fall on you to prove your appeal, while if you do nothing the onus is on MET to start legal action which experience teaches they are very, very reluctant to do. If you go down the POPLA route I would think your ace would be insufficient signage.  Are you able to go back there and get photos of their rubbish, entrapping signs?

      MET CCTV PNC - Starbucks closed- Southgate Park, Stansted CM24 1PY

      By Hikertrash · Posted

      The first clearly visible sign as you pull in to the car park states “McDonald’s Customers Only 60 minutes” The next clearly visible sign is an almost identical sign outside Starbucks which states “60 minutes free stay for customers only” There are other signs towards the rear of the car park (away from the outlets) that have the terms and conditions on them in very small print.

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

Of course, that picture would look better like this!

Before you criticise another man you should first walk a mile in his shoes. Then, when you criticise him, you'll be a mile away and he won't have any shoes on.

 

Don't get me confused with somebody knowledgeable by all those green blobs. I got most of them by making people laugh.

Ah yes, I should have guessed, an all-white Britain, Fred's dream. :rolleyes:

 

Well that was a joke, don't lose your sense of humour now. Plus, I didn't include Scotland. Well I might have got a bit but I can't tell because of the snow.

Thanks Tez, I'm glad someone gets me on here! :razz:

 

20 cms expected here (SE London) over the weekend. It's all over the news that councils are going to cut gritting by 25%... Well, seeing that they haven't been near my road yet, what's 25% off 0??? :rolleyes:

 

Of course, the reality is that no-one is ready because councils everywhere cut their budgets where they were least likely to need it year in year out, and snow contingencies are never that high in this country, and trimming more and more each year until the year where we DO need it and ooops, not enough to go round! Well, yeah, that's what usually happens... :mad:

 

Can we hope this is going to be a wake-up call for Britain? That we are likely to see more and more of these "extreme" weathers (I use the word extreme loosely by the way, we're not talking of Antarctica conditions here :rolleyes:) and to plan accordingly? Anyone wants to take a bet?

 

That's another thing (Bookie in rant mode this morning, lol): Shops are reporting a massive increase in sales of thermals, gloves, hats, coats etc... Who DOESN'T have a warm coat for winter (I'm talking of the average folks, not homeless etc...) that they have to rush out and buy some urgently once the snow starts falling? We had snow in February, what happened to those supplies you bought then?

 

I have one (two in fact) of those down puffa jackets for mountaineering kind of type, cost me £12 in my charity shop 5 years ago. Yes, it's tatty, the pockets need stitiching... But you know what? I sweat in it if I put a jumper on as well. I went photo taking yesterday just before dusk, with temperatures dropping really quickly and I had to loosen it. Am I going to get rid of it any time soon? Not likely.

 

It's one thing councils running out of salt, but I have to say there seems to be a very British sense of being competely un-ready for whatever the weather throws at this country. People sunburn in summer, and we get hosepipe bans. In winter, we run out of salt and people rush out to buy coats. Trains get stuck in autumn because of falling leaves and people panic buy hayfever tablets in spring... it's all very odd. :-?

 

Ah, it's starting snowing again as I typed this. But it's sunny at the same time. Let's not panic, I'm sure this can be dealt with... I hope... If I don't come back you will know the British weather finally got me! :razz:

I remember when.... way back in the early 60s :eek: when we were snowed in as kids in our street. That was when the grocer/milkman had their rounds so all us kids would take our sledges to the top of the road and collect our deliveries that way. I seem to remember trains etc running OK. What is it with this country in this high tech age, that it has all gone so badly wrong?? As we live in the country surrounded by fields we don't expect to get any of our roads gritted - we just have to dig the cars out (we have a 200 ft driveway) and drive bloody slowly, using gears instead of brakes - most of the accidents have been caused by drivers not adapting to the conditions - rant over:p (mind you, did nearly slid sideways into our gate yesterday:rolleyes:)

Where I grew up is in the middle of nowhere in the countryside, and I remember one particular winter where we had to go to school (4 older siblings and self) walking nearly 3 kms each way. I am much younger than my siblings and therefore couldn't manage the snow up to my thighs (then!) so the sibs were made to take the sleigh out and pull me to school whilst they walked.

 

Probelm came at the bottom of the last hill which was particularly steep and they were knackered, so told me to get off the sleigh and walk. I, not completely daft, refused to do so and when they threatened to forcibly remove me, I threw my shoes in a snowdrift so they couldn't make me. :razz:
