    • You need to choose between ET and small claims, you cannot do both. For straightforward wages I'd go small claims. Faster and less messing about. Advice here Employment claims in the civil courts - Working Families WORKINGFAMILIES.ORG.UK Some types of employment-related claims can be brought in the civil courts, rather than in an Employment Tribunal. This advice page offers a high level...  
    • The garages are used - just car currently being fixed.  I have no need of what they offer.  It is conscious trespass - and the law allows. Which is frustrating.  It's just v annoying that they do this. Isn't there a law that someone cannot prevent access to a public highway from private land?
    • The problem with sending it too early is that Jake might try to write something called a Supplemental Witness Statement to undermine yours.  It would be better to send yours right on the court's deadline. The problem is that we don't know when that is.  In 90% of cases it's 14 days before the court's deadline, so 21/06.  However, in the odd case the judge decides differently.  
    • Signs and notes on windscreens wouldn't deter me either. after all. it's private land and very little deterrent to stop drivers from abusing it. A physical barrier, IMHO is the only way you will stop them abusing it.....or, depending on what businesses they are, why not rent out your garage to them, ask them for a staff discount if you purchase anything from them? Whilst it is irksome, how much money have you got to throw at it, and is it really that important in your life? If you were using your garage, different story.
    • Still worried about time order - they have not followed procedures. Looking through lists there are some items not been sent, incorrect leaflets sent.  emails sent and we’ve not received. Texts and emails sent and not completed process. Pages worth.  The worst thing is the phone calls. Not got more than 8 minutes of most.  it’s so unfair.  Have sent them emails offering to pay right back to March. All arrears were paid back.  2 payments since.    what other info do you require from me ?

    • 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.

i had another thread on here which helped me enormously to get the **** of my back for a while by sending the sar request etc and ombusman for mis selling ppi

 

now i have recieved the sar and to be honest i am disguted and totally outraged a few things that have really annoyed me is firstly the ridiculous charges for telephoning me to my residential landline which was cut off over a year ago but despite this they have still charged me £10 a call sometimes 3 times a week to a number that isnt in use lol

 

secondly in the notes on sar it states they went to my next door neighbours house who i dont get on with and shared my details and situation with and the notes on the information shared is a complete breech of data protection . surely they cant go and knock my neighbours door because im in work and not there to answer the door ?

 

thirdly there all all these entries on the statement for declined card payments from my partners card in his name but i dont no where they got that from as he has never had a debit card or even a bank account in his name we dont even have a joint account

 

so now i have the sar im really unhappy with what ive read its total lies and wrong information so what i need to no is what do i do now as im sure b4 long they are going to get a court order for my car i read about contacting the fos putting my acc into dispute is this an option for me thanks in advance for any1 who can help

To give you an insight, the charges for calling you which to be fair are spurious enough anyway should only be charged if they make contact with you so they are acting against their own policy.

 

The breaches of the DPA act, firstly in speaking with your neighbour (Disgraceful) secondly in keeping card details on file are sackable offences but tend to be brushed under the carpet if the guilty party is a top performer, however complaining to Nottingham on this means that they can't get out of it. When you add in the fake card details and charging you for it then employee fraud looks more and more likely.

 

The missing money again, its not unheard of for employees to pocket the difference between what is taken and what is applied to the account or if you have multiple ccounts sometimes they "Accidentally" apply bits to other accounts to keep them all in the branch.

 

Someone asked about the payment showing as a credit and debit, this happens when they use their rubbish computer system it basically processes a payment, contacts another part of the system to check for funds and if there is something wrong (Like no card or no funds etc) then it reverses the payment back off so two entires show.

 

You have a great case for complaint but I'll leave it to experts on here around HP agreements as you may have an altogether invalid agreement that means you can stick it to them good and proper. I would be tempted to kick up a stink cos they have treated you appalllingly.

First off I would put together all proof of the landline not in use and no debit card or joint account etc... and get it all together so you have it filed and ready to pass to the FOS or even perhaps present at court.

 

I would also ask for itemised record of the phone calls from their bills, just to freak them out a bit. After all if they didn't have anything to hide, they would prove that they made contact with you as the call number, date, time and length would show and back up their charges.

 

As for the payment debits and credit, correspond the dates they said payment was taken and reversed and match it to your bank statements. you need to make sure you have an answer to counter all their charges.

 

I would also ask your neighbour to provide a written statement that Welscum have discussed your account with them. perhaps offer a token gift as a gesture of good will.

 

worth a try.

 

I know its a pain but if it comes off, then this info that you put together will certainly be worth while.

Cardiff, just read them notes and to be honest their is nothing in the notes to suggest data protection has been broken, it clearly states they had a conversation with your neighbour and they "received" information about you but it does not state "they" gave any information out . . sorry to doubt the claim is valid as it very well could be but without a statement from your neighbour I cant see this going anywere. please feel free to reply openly, i just dont want to see you waste your time and this is the reply welcome will give and the ICO.

Re: Harassment by telephone

 

 

ACCOUNT NUMBER: XXXXXXX

 

Dear Sirs

 

I am writing in relation to the quantity and frequency of telephone calls that I have received from your company, which I deem to be personally harassing.

 

I have verbally requested that these stop, but I am still receiving calls. (Delete if necessary)

 

I now require all further correspondence from your company to be made in writing only.

 

I am of the view that your continued harassment of me by telephone puts you in breach of Section 40 of the Administration of Justice Act 1970, and the Protection from Harassment Act 1997.

 

If you continue to harass me by telephone, you will also be in breach of the Communications Act (2003) s.127 and I will report you to OFCOM, Trading Standards and The Office of Fair Trading, meaning that you will be liable to a substantial fine.

 

Be advised that any further telephone calls from your company will be recorded. (**Even if you don‘t yet have recording equipment!!**)

 

 

Yours faithfully,

 

 

 

[NAME HERE]

 

HARRASSMENT THROUGH ANY FORM OF VISIT LETTER:

 

Harassment through any form of Home Visit -

(If we receive, or are threatened with, a Doorstep Visit)

 

The account holder will only communicate with you in writing. I have noted your repeated attempts to contact me by telephone over the past few weeks/months and these have been duly logged by time and date.

 

Furthermore, should it be your intention to arrange a “doorstep call”, please be advised that under OFT rules, you can only visit me at my home if you make an appointment and I have no wish to make such an appointment with you.

 

There is only an implied license under English Common Law for people to be able to visit me on my property without express permission; the postman and people asking for directions etc (Armstrong v Sheppard & Short Ltd [1959] 2 QB 384. per Lord Evershed M.R.). Therefore take note that I revoke license under Common Law for you, or your representatives to visit me at my property and, if you do so, you will be liable to damages for a tort of trespass and action will be taken, including but not limited to, police attendance.

but my neighbour was kickin off sayin they knocked his door surely they cant do that when they can reach me by phone ?

 

Cardiff, dont get down about this, keep fighting, I guess my post was slightly devils advocate and I totally agree they are not allowed to go knocking on your neighbours door asking questions and digging for information, a lot of DCA'S do this and it is unacceptable, but unless they tell the neighbour who they are they have not broke data protection in giving out your details. as I said you would need a statement from your neighbour that they did do this.

 

Im on your side, honestly if a company knocked on my neighbours door I would be furious and be going for blood so I am with you just got to hit it from the right direction.
