    • quite usual for couriers to swap parcel contents, though it could have been done by someone at the 1st address before it got to where it should have .... ebay. just to clarify as you seem to be not understanding/reading some posts correctly.   you should always ignore a dca totally unless you ever get a letter of claim in the post. you never ever ring a DCA.. they LIE. no!! no!! they dont own the debt, their txt says our client ebay. only the OWNER of a debt can take you to court. and ebay dont do court. i find it quite amazing that you have numerous threads about ebay/paypal regarding issues since you joined in 2011 but have never read any of the advice previously given. dx    
    • so where are the one with this HMTL link? and when were they sent.? pdf's merged and properly named. dx  
    • Hi Just had a wee look at your PDF and nothing really to add. Now as for the Court Fees if these are in there Claim then that is for the Judge to decide whether they accept the recovery of Court Fees in the Claim. If recovery of Court Fees are not in the Claim and they try to recover these via your deposit then you dispute this with the Tenancy deposit scheme your deposit is protected in and point out these costs should have been in there Court Claim which they failed to do and is there error.  
    • The postcode is an important point. You cannot be in two postcodes at the same time and the contract only covers the F area and not the E area where Met placed your car. See there is some   advantages in with idiots.🙂 The other fact about the electric spaces is that as you are not allowed to park there, the sign is prohibitory so cannot  offer a contract anyway. and another biggie in your favour is you were not the driver and the PCN does not comply with PoFA. I had another look yesterday at the PCN and there is another error since it does not say that the driver is responsible to pay the charge during the first 28 days. Schedule 4 Section 9 [2][b] (b)inform the keeper that the driver is required to pay parking charges in respect of the specified period of parking and that the parking charges have not been paid in full; so that is another nail in their coffin and it s something I would include in  your WS since that is one that every Judge would accept as a failure to comply. As far as their WS is concerned some of them leave it to the last minute to prevent Defendants being able to counteract their claims. However if they leave it too late [ie after the stipulated time] you can email yours to the Court on the last day and complain at the bottom of your WS that you have not received it and therefore you are asking the Court not to accept their WS. In your case it isn't that important since you have a virtual walkover in Court. I would be surprised if they don't concede beforehand. It is a lost cause for them. Not that I would advocate parking in their electric bay in future with a petrol driven car again.🙂
    • I think the post code 0 v O is nonsense personally and would just annoy the judge.  Cases are decided informally at small claims and judges are not interested in the weakest of trivialities. Understood re FY v EY.  So add to the Unfair PCN section that the PCN includes the wrong post code and places you at a residential area rather than the car park in question. You should wait till 7 June before filing your WS - as a Litigant-in-Person you wont't be penalised for being a day late - to see if MET's WS turns up.  It will also give you a chance to see if they have paid the hearing fee.  If it doesn't turn up you can attack them for defying court directions.  If it does turn up you can ridicule their arguments.  Win win. Also you can see if they have bottled it - which they have done with the last two cases we have here. I think the exact points of your WS have become a tad confusing - and I have heartily contributed to the confusion! - so can you please add the latest version.

    • 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 have a DMP with Harrington Brooks / Allclear, my circumstancs are about to change (baby coming into family) and am wondering about contacting Harrington Brooks seeing how much is owed to who (lots I expect after Harrington taken their chunk) and contacting the creditors direct.

 

Any thoughts / advice on this?

Just tell them that their services are no longer required. You are now aware that you can do the same yourself OR that you can employ a FREE DMC.

6.1 On receipt of your first payment we will issue to you a key features document and estimated fees schedule. If for any reason you wish to cancel we offer a seven-day cooling-off period from the date of this letter in

which we offer a full refund of any fees which we have taken.

6.2 After the seven-day cooling off period you may end this agreement by giving us four weeks notice in writing.

I have just ditched Harrington Brooks, I checked my statement online and they had not made any payments since December 2010 despite me paying them every month. I noticed that one particular month I paid them £200 and they took £70!!! My understanding was that my monthly fee would be £29....

I sent a letter to them giving them 4 weeks notice and asking for up to date statements and they have ignored me completely. I wish that I had kept a clser eye on what they were doing, that way I would have got rid of them sooner!

I am now putting it down to experience and sending my own letters with offers of payment.

My advice would be to anyone that was conidering them STAY AWAY, GET FREE ADVICE AND DO IT YOURSELF!

Report these clowns to the OFT&TS also to the MOJ, I would also be inclined to send these clowns a LBA demanding some of the money back!

I have sent three e-mails which they have not answered. Think I will send a letter asking for the information I require, which is just: An up to date statement / balance outstanding to the various creditors - just so I know what I am dealing with?

 

I think they still have my parents address on their system, but checked at my parents Saturday & no post there!

A LBA is simply a letter headed "LETTER BEFORE ACTION" then type out in your own words, what correspondence you have sent them and when, their failure to respond to your requests or even acknowledge them, and that they have say 14 days in which to respond fully to your previous letters/emails with the requested information or you will inform the ministry of justice (MOJ) as well as the OFT of their failure to conduct themselves in a professional manner, and have their licence revoked.

 

As long as you head it with "LETTER BEFORE ACTION" then they can be under NO illusion that you are fully intent on carrying out your threat.

Letter going today. Should I carry on with my payments while waiting for a response?

 

Funnily enough I received a letter yesterday from Debt Managers - Edinburgh saying that they have checked their credit files & have reason to believe they are contacting me at my new address and could I contact them to confirm.

 

I wonder if this is in connection to a debt placed with Harrington Brooks, as those are still listed at my parents address?

Any letters that you receive from DCA's asking if you are the person they are looking for, IGNORE! Send a copy of them to the OFT&TS, it is for them to verify your identity, NOT for you to do that for them.

 

DCA's have NO legal powers whatsoever, ALL they are is the 'piggy in the middle' paid to send out misleading threatening letters designed to intimidate you, and even these are simply computer generated, they have NO powers, intelligence, or moral fibre in their bodies.

 

What is the state of play with harrington? Have you kicked them in to touch, and have they given you all the information you need regarding who has been paid what and when?
