      Highview/DCB(L) ANPR PCN - Letter of Claim - Now Claimform - overstay - Riverside Retail Park in Norwich, Norfolk.

      By anotheruser0000 · Posted

      Hi LFI, With regard to the ANPR cameras in your post #65, while I was on the phone to the Planning Department, they did take a look at Google Streetview and went back to 2012 where they could see the ANPR cameras in place so therefore they would have deemed consent. I had previously read the T&C Planning Regulations and had read the section on deemed consent so I understood the point they made on the phone. It doesn't matter though, that doesn't harm my case any, and I shouldn't really mention this now, (this is what you reminded me of on another thread) but in the past I was a member of a scheme that gave me access to legal advice, I have spoken to a barrister previously through this scheme on another matter and I think I am still a member. I am going to check if I am still a member of the scheme, and if I am I will discuss my case with a barrister or solicitor, whichever the scheme deems appropriate. I will let you know the outcome. I am also going to take Bankfodders advice in the sticky and go to the local court and ask if I can sit in on a case in the Judges office.

      deed?  you mean consent order you and her signed? concluding the case as long as you nor she break it's conditions signed upto? dx Yes sorry. they called it a deed at first in court.  Then Judge said she was happy to have it sealed as something else  exact names of orders in message above.     The disease was tested for when his cardiac testing was done immediately after purchase and part of the now sealed case.   However, results were disclosed incorrectly and I only found out  two days ago.   This disease did not form part of my knowledge during the case as I had been informed of a normal result that was not the case.   it is perfect clarity of a genetic disease where as the previous cardiac issue could be congenital until the pup is genetically tested.

      Halifax debt sold to Cabot

      By Deathbybanking · Posted

      Hi, Halifax recently sold a credit card account of mine to Cabot. I am unemployed and have no assets and was thinking of making token £1 payments for 12-18 months in order to drag things out a bit and reduce the chance of Cabot being able to get the correct CCA documents from Halifax if I requested them in future. However, I saw on the pages on this forum about defending county court claims that one of the standard approaches when defending such claims is to say “I had an account with bank X, but I don’t remember the details and so don’t know if I owe this debt…”. If I made £1 payments to Cabot, would it prevent me from using such a defence in future? OC: Halifax DC: Cabot/Wescot Card account opened: 2016 Defaulted: 2023

      Hi, This may be the wrong place for a thread BUT If you receive a defence, can you send a CPR 31.14 request for document mentioned in the defence, and then apply to proceed with the case only after (14) days passed or they respond OR is it only if you receive a claim I see @dx100uk thread is for when you receive a claim, but can you also do the same when you receive a defence?

    • 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.

For those of you stocking up now for Christmas, here's an amazing deal. I've just tried this and it works.

 

Create an account with laithwaites.co.uk. Place your order - has to be more that £100. When you go through the delivery details you will see a box for a voucher code - enter DIRECT2 and press redeem, then enter DIRECT30 in the same box and press redeem again. You will get a £70 discount provided you have ordered over £100. Bargain!!!

 

I've just ordered 12 bottles of red and 12 of white and the total cost including £6.99 P&P came to less than £80 - and I haven't ordered the cheapest ones.

 

This is not a con of any kind - you can pull out of the order if the discount doesn't appear so try it - you've got nothing to lose.

 

Regards.

 

Fred

Hi sequenci, I'm not sure to be honest. I got a text from my niece on Saturday - she said she'd just tried it and it worked. I assumed it was some kind of a glitch but I signed up for an account tonight, went through the process, although I wasn't really expecting it to work, but it did. They've got wine priced as low as £5 per bottle, so in theory you could order 24 bottles of that, get £70 quid off and end up paying (with P&P), £57 for 24 bottles. It's definitely worth a try.

 

Regards.

Fred when you say you ordered good stuff-how does it equate in relation to the stuff Tesco and Asda sell ?

Very often they are doing 3 for a tenner and I saw Tesco are always doing something for half price (reduced from £7.99 for example to 4 quid)

Cant say I am knowing much about wine generally but just curious.

I have no idea how true this is but it's never failed me.

 

Check out the dent in the bottom of the wine bottle - allegedly the deeper the dent the better the quality of wine.

 

We buy the tesco special offer stuff all the time, you just have to be a little bit selective.

I will let my Lord and Master know about this when he comes home. Asda have some good wine on at the moment 3 for £10, we have got some Riojah which should have been over £7 a bottle, but this offer even beats this.

 

My poor little dog at the vets for tests so I will wait and see how much it is going to cost before I order any wine.

Hi Martin,

 

I didn't necessarily buy good ones, just not the cheapest. To be honest, I know nothing at all about wine except that I've never drank a German one that I like - bloody awful stuff, gives me indigestion. The Tesco 3 for a tenner offer is something I was looking out for, but this came along first and it seemed like a good deal. It's too late now unfortunately.

 

Regards.

My first comment is that the German stuff I love was too expensive, so went for the chardonnay! I am a heathen, I'll neck it out of a chipped mug (well, not really, lol)

 

I only bought the, rather delicious looking, rose as it brought me closer to the £100 threshold than anything else - such is my desire to not splash out and maximise the deal! :lol:

 

Have you had a dispatch email Fred? Mine is rather ominous in that it could just be one bottle of the chardonnay! I'm not fussed, suspect there will be more dispatch emails to follow. (Doesn' mention the x6 or x12... just has the name of the wine) Suspect it is 18 out of the 19 bottles *hic* :madgrin:

 

 

Thanks again - well chuffed. The timing couldn't be better - flatmates new super-dooper fridge freezer arrives on Thursday for the hallway... well, can't be not having all our beverages chilled, and the reviews of the chardonnay were such that I felt ordered to chill it.

The general consensus is that paying that bit more for a bottle of wine is worth it. If you buy a £3.99 bottle you probably pay about £2.50 in tax (I do not recall the exact figure - it's too painful!) say 75p profit to the retailer which leaves say 50p to the producer (which rather determines the quality).

 

If you pay £6 or £7 for a bottle the tax is exactly the same. The retailer's cut will be a bit more but a lot more goes to the producer so the increase in quality is much greater in proportion.

 

We have drunk Laithwaites wines for years and have been very impressed with the quality of them.

 

You do realise that they do the Sunday Times Wine club amongst others?

But Laithwaites dont make any wine -arent they just a distributor ?

 

So the price is really reflective of the buying power-which then determines the shelf price right ?
