    • It's normally that information is usually given how it is stored. I.E. if kept physical then physical copies get sent out. If kept digital then digital copies get sent out. It's the idea that the information you get back is exactly how they keep it and exactly how they hold your data. It's why you'll quite often see screenshots of CRM systems on SARs and such
    • I think final version of WS now prepared with exhibits added.  All numbered properly. Of course it can still be tweaked if necessary. Laura will not need it on 25 June as that is just a Preliminary Hearing for her to represent her son. But as DCBL messed up and thought it was WS time why not prepare things calmly in advance.

    • Your case shows the idiocy of employing a solicitor to do things you could easily do yourself. Had Countryside dealt with their own case they would have entered judgement on 4 June and there would have been no way back for you. But they thought they were clever by running to Rachael and Sean of BW Legal for a more "professional" (aye, right) service.  These dodgy solicitors can only make money on private parking cases by doing everything on the ultra cheap and certainly cant check the judgement date for every single separate case. Ho!  Ho!  Ho! Anyway, glad you got the defence filed OK. The next stage is that the central bulk court will send out a simple form called a Directions Questionnaire to you and to Countrywide which is part of the allocations process to your local court.  If you read this short thread you will see all the stages of the court process  https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/406892-highview-parking-anpr-pcn-claimform-urban-exchange-manchester-claim-dismissed/#comments
    • It is already trespass, nothing further needed to make out trespass. Not sure where ‘interference with goods’ helps you / how you’d bring a claim for that that stops them parking there.
    • Thanks Dx,    For some further information, the holiday was booked as a package holiday for 2. One of the 2 had to be changed, and changing costs £700 for a new flight as "tickets had been issued and they cant do a name change". I cant quite figure out how compensation works for things when it comes to package holidays.    From what I can tell  - The plane was due to land in Turks and Caicos to drop off passengers, something happened during descent, resulting in technical fault.  - The rest of the original flight from Turks & Caicos -> Montego Bay was cancelled  - A New flight was put on today, which was then delayed by 1.5hrs aswell  - Hotel was provided for the night after much hassle.  - 1.5 days, 2 evenings of holiday lost  If I understand correctly, since the original flight (LHR -> Turks -> Montego Bay) was cancelled, they are both entitled to a refund on that full flight? I can't quite work out if they are only entitled to a refund for the equivalent of Turks -> Montego Bay, or for the full LHR->Turks->Montego Bay, since it was issued as one ticket/all Virgin, and they should have arrived yesterday..?)  I can't work out how to get the cost of that compensation, or whether its a set figure, and how the loss of days of holiday is factored in   I am aware:  If you received less than 14 days’ notice of the cancellation, you are generally due compensation, awarded in pounds or euros depending on where your flight was due to depart from, according to the following scale: £220 / €250 for all flights of 1,500km or less (e.g. Glasgow to Amsterdam); £350 / €400 for all flights between 1,500km and 3,500km (e.g. East Midlands to Marrakech); £520 / €600 for all other flights (e.g. London to New York). Compensation will be reduced by 50% if the arrival time of the replacement flight doesn’t exceed the arrival time of the original flight by: two hours for flights of 1,500km or less; three hours for flights between 1,500km and 3,500km; four hours for all other flights. So I "think" its £520pp for the flight part as compensation (7500km)... but some sites say its a full refund for the flight... is it both?  Thanks,  Ryan

    • 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.

Hello again....

 

Can someone please tell me what to do next with this issue? I'm starting to get really worried by it all :(

 

Here is a quick re-cap:

 

Had a letter from Roxburghe demanding payment of a debt owed to HFO Capital Limited which turned out to be for a 3 mobile account back in 2004. I sent a "No Acknowledgement" letter to Roxburghe who have responded with a last payment date and ammount owed but no 3 mobile account information. I dont have any information from the account (dont even know the mobile phone number) so i can not subject access 3 mobile.

 

i keep getting threatening/demanding letters from Roxburghe but i'm not sure if i am the debtor or if they have any right in making me pay the debt.

 

So my question is what do i do next? :confused:

Send them a copy of your original letter and say that until you receive a sustantive response to that letter, you will not enter into any further correspondence with them, and that any threats made without such a response will be treated as vexatious and may be acted on as such with complaints to the OFT.

I received exactly the same, amount owed, interest, charges, miscellaneous charges, date and amount of last payment in 2004...no account details. I recently sent the prove it letter for a second time after receiving a 72 hour threat.

I am fed up with Roxburghe and their inability to provide any information to me about the debt they allege I owe and their inability to communicate with me. I dont see why they should be allowed to ignore my requests which they are legally obliged to fullfil. I am going to complain about them to the FOS tomorrow. I have done this previously with another DCA who claimed I owed them money ( I didnt, the debt is identity fraud) and allowing the FOS to complain to the DCA on my behalf seemed to work. I'll let you know how I get on.

  • 2 weeks later...

I have exactly the same kind of issue listed on here. Debt goes back to mid 2004 (final bill was apparently issued in December 2004).

 

It was a 3 mobile that I took out for my brother. The billing address was changed to his after a few months of the contract being taken out. I only heard about a debt when Roxburghe wrote to me in December 2009. I have since found out that 3 did nothing until they sold the debt to HFO in July 2007, HFO then did nothing until they referred it to Roxburghe (part of same company) and then Roxburghe wrote to me last year.

 

I did a Subject Access Request to 3 and the debt is for the mobile before it was disconnected but I'm not happy to pay seeing as no action was taken for many years. The Credit Services Association weren't much use when I phoned and I am waiting for a reply. The complaint about 3 mobile is being investigated by Otelo who have provisionally said recently that the fact that 3 didn't do anything for years doesn't warrant a reduction. Surely it's not right that it's been left for so long?

 

I've read the above but not too sure what I can do, can anyone help?

There are several threads re HFO/Roxburghe/3 on the forum - have a browse and you'll find all the info you need. Drill down a few pages and there's lots.

 

Contacting the CSA is a waste of time - it's run by the DCAs. for the DCAs. The OFT is a better bet.

 

Send the 'prove it/no knowledge of debt' letter to Roxburghe and let them do some work. Expect the 72-hour notice letter next.

 

By the time they get anywhere it will be statute barred anyway.

Roxburghe have got the account on hold at the moment due to the ongoing dispute with Otelo. Quoted that OFT have guidelines regarding debt collection while a balance is in dispute and they haven't contacted me since their first letter.

 

Because of the Subject Access Request I have had from 3, I have already received copies of the invoices etc showing the debt. The one and only letter I got from Roxburghe at the end of 2009 also stated the debt was for Hutchison 3G so my case seems different to Gooner's in that way.

 

My main argument really is that it's taken all parties so long to contact me about it that I don't see why I should have to pay the full debt and interest etc.

 

Basically, 3 argue that they didn't have my address because my brother had changed it to his address (he was an authorised 3rd party on the account). However, from the SAR, it shows they still had my address on there (although I moved a few years ago, I know no one has tried to contact me at my old address)

 

Roxburghe advised that 3 failed big time back in 2004 and didn't have a collections department big enough to do the work they needed to do - another argument I have is why I should be penalised for their incompetence

The phone was disconnected in July 2004 and I'm told the last payment was £5 in June 2004. A final bill was sent in December 2004.

 

(Basically my brother advises that he had a dispute with them in 2004 and was told the balance would be cleared, however, the SAR does not back this up and no notes on the account really reflect this apart from one in September advising that we were told to ignore a bill as the matter was being looked at)

Sorry, all the invoices I got in the SAR are at work so can't check until the morning. As far as I remember it was a one-off payment, there was no sort of payment plan agreed. believe it was shown on a statement, could confirm tomorrow
