    • Thanks very much Bank. I've now done a lot of reading and have drafted my Letter of Claim as attached. I look forward to your comments. 16Apr24 draft Letter of Claim against Parcel2Go.pdf16Apr24 draft Letter of Claim against Parcel2Go.pdf16Apr24 draft Letter of Claim against Parcel2Go.pdf
    • ive already CAREFULLY explained how it all works earlier. what you will have to pay is already preset and detailed on the court forms/TfL stuff you already have. you wont be asked any questions upon your financial means etc. thats not under debate . you wont be asked upon any mitigating circumstances, you have pleaded guity which you always SHOULD.  the ONLY 2 reasons you are attending is to: 1) after finding the TfL prosecutor... plead directly face to face before you go in to try and get an OOC (you can bring up or say anything/everything you like ...anything that might get them to agree) 2) if 1 fails...show your genuine remorse face to face to the magistrate, BRIEFLY mention how a criminal record would hinder your future then hope they take pity on you and dont also record this on your file.  PS its only declarable/shows there for one year anyway. regardless to what an employer might ask in job questionnaires past 1yrs you forget about it. they cannot see it even on enhanced DBS etc etc. you should not latterly ever appeal a criminal record for this type (1yrs)  of 'offence' its not worth it and if you lose said appeal it will cost your dear in terms of additional wages grabbing and court fees. and extends the time it shows if you lose too. dx  
    • hit letter of claim follow post 2 despite repeated requests, the claimant has failed to produce any enforceable paperwork.
    • FTMDave - your cold light of day suspicions are correct, alas. Just had this back... Thank you for your email. I was very sorry to learn that you recently received a parking charge notice after shopping at our Kearsley Manchester Rd Express store. I appreciate this is always frustrating, especially as you'd just nipped in for the one item. I've had a look, and I can confirm that in this case the car park at this store is entirely owned by a third party - it is not owned or operated by Tesco in any way. The parking charge issued is on behalf of that third party, although I appreciate it does state Tesco on the letter. Regrettably as the car park is owned and operated by a separate company we don't have any form of influence or control over the parking charges issued. In this case, I can only recommend that you follow the appeals process outlined on the letter directly to take the matter up with UKPPO directly. I'm sorry that I cannot offer further help in this case.  Please do not hesitate to contact me again should you require anything further.  Kind regards Ewan Kelly Customer Service Specialist On behalf of the Chief Executive’s Office

    • 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.

We just recieved a bill for 380 pounds thats 3430kwh at 9.3p each for the period between the tenth of may to the first of July 53 days.

 

Does this seem a little too much to anybody ?

 

We live above a shop (which is on the same meter) the shop uses lighting a till and a basic kitchen during the day .There are 3 of us living in the flat upstairs. We have no tumble dryer or dishwasher and we use the emersion heater and oven for about an hour a day .

 

Apart from that we normally only use a laptop, tv and a few energy saving lightbulbs.

 

Something doesnt seem right here what do you think ?

thats 64kWh a day.

 

thats a bit steep for a FLAT!

 

thats the same as leaving an 8kW power shower on for 8hrs in 24!

 

or almost a 3kW fires on full blast for 24/7

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

Ill give you a bit more info . When we moved in the electricity was supplied by another company . The owner of the shop downstairs switched to eon so we recieved a final bill from the old company for 75 quid . This was for the period of 1st of march to the 10th of may.

 

Im not sure if the final meter reading for this bill was supplied or estimated but im guessing this could be the problem.So what can we do about it ?

They were given a meter reading yesterday as me and my girlfriend are moving out so they wanted to know how much to charge us.

 

Is a business tarriff more expensive then a domestic one ?

 

I guess we could just give them another one at the end of the week so they can see how excessive the bill seems.

With a business tariff you are subject to different pricing structures, VAT at 17.5% and the Climate Change Levvy, an Agreed Read Dispute can be done to amend the opening meter read. To prove whether the read is wrong, a set of readings taken a week apart will be necessary, but it does sound as if the opening meter read is where the problem comes from

Clearly the bill needs to be split, theres no way your using that much electricity, your annual bill for electricity would be £6935. Have you spoken to the guys that operate the shop below?

Have a look at your bill, there will be a small grid of about 7 boxes, the top left box should be 01 or 02, any higher and you are on a commercial tariff.

 

I have come across shops who are on a domestic tariff, although this is not common.

 

When you moved in and the supplier was changed, did any of you think to check the meter reading to make sure you weren't being "ripped off?"

If you were paying for al the electric then the shop had no right to switch suppliers without your consent. What is the arrangement between the shop and yourselves for the payment of utilities?

  • 2 weeks later...

also something to consider is the billing code of practice. It will not apply if you are classed as business use - which clearly you are not if you are domestic in a flat. This discrepancy needs to be sorted immediately.

what !!!!

That is precisely my point. A domestic flat should NOT be on the same meter as a business. There needs to be 2 meters. Otherwise, if there is any problem the domestic consumer loses out on the rights under the Billing Code.
