    • wont go near it with a barge pole as its ex gov't debt.  
    • Thanks, I've had my fill of this lot. What makes me so mad is that I had to take out student loan to get any DHSS help. And then when I tried to help myself and family they presented obstacles. Might be worth passing story to RIP off Britain?
    • there is NO exposure if you simple remove your name address/ref numbers etc from docs, over 10'000 pdf uploads are here. which then harvests IP addresses off of the people that then do so..which is why we do not allow hosting sites. read our rules and upload carefully thats exactly why we say capture as JPG, redact, then convert/merge to one mass PDF. then online sites to achieve that we list do not leave watermarks.  every once in a while we have a user like you that thinks they know better...we've been doing it since 2006 with not one security issue. thank you.
    • was at the time you ticked it  but now they've still not complied . if you read up, here , you'll see thats what everyone does,  
    • no they never allow the age related get out, erudio are masters at faking supposed 'arrears' fees which were levied before said date and thus null its write off. 1000's of threads here on them!! scammers untied that lot. i can almost guarantee they'll state it's not SB'd too re above, but just ignore them once sent. dx

    • 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.

Today I received a £100 (£50 if paid within 28 days) 'Civil Parking Charge' from A/COVERT SECURITY SERVICES LTD.

 

This was for parking at the Galleries Shopping Centre in a car park that used to be free for all to use, however in recent years parts of it have sprouted signs stating that only permit holders can park there.

 

As I arrived at Asda at the Galleries there was a queue of cars to get into the car park, therefore I drove into the section across the road that is meant to be for permit holders. This car park is relatively empty as it's quite a walk from Asda but I don't mind that. There are very clear signs upon entry stating that it is 'for the use of permit holders only'. I parked there thinking "It's Saturday, this car park is for the offices, dentists etc and not really needed today, no-one will be patrolling etc". However 20 minutes later I returned to find the 'Parking Charge' stuck to my window. It states 'Notice of breach of parking conditions issued by A/COVERT SECURITY SERVICES LTD.' At the bottom of the ticket it states 'This ticket has been issued under theBPA code of practice'

 

The 'Breach of Contract' that I have committed is 'Parked without clearly displaying the required current valid permit'.

 

I'm assuming I should just follow the advice and ignore it. If I receive any letters from them just reply using the templates?

 

Cheers

Remedy for breach of contract is actual damages. You have not cost them any losses, so their legal claim is £0.

 

Hence why you should ignore all their junkmail and they will go away. I wouldn't take anyone to court if I hadn't suffered any damages.

Cheers for the advice guys. Have any of these Mickey Mouse firms ever successfully taken anyone to court and won?

 

We've seen about 10 cases this last year - 0 wins and plenty of no-shows.

 

The only win we've ever seen was a guy who repeatedly parked on a church car park causing actual proven loss to the landowner.

 

Bear in mind the few cases we see are usually ego driven. There's no money in travelling to courts trying to win £100 off people. It's a waste of time financially when you consider the time and effort that has to go into making a claim.
