    • Thank-you dx, What you have written is certainly helpful to my understanding. The only thing I would say, what I found to be most worrying and led me to start this discussion is, I believe the judge did not merely admonish the defendant in the case in question, but used that point to dismiss the case in the claimants favour. To me, and I don't have your experience or knowledge, that is somewhat troubling. Again, the caveat being that we don't know exactly what went on but I think we can infer the reason for the judgement. Thank-you for your feedback. EDIT: I guess that the case I refer to is only one case and it may never happen again and the strategy not to appeal is still the best strategy even in this event, but I really did find the outcome of that case, not only extremely annoying but also worrying. Let's hope other judges are not quite so narrow minded and don't get fixated on one particular issue as FTMDave alluded to.

    • the claimant in their WS can refer to whatever previous CC judgements they like, as we do in our WS's, but CC judgements do not set a legal precedence. however, they do often refer to judgements like Bevis, those cases do created a precedence as they were court of appeal rulings. as for if the defendant, prior to the raising of a claim, dobbed themselves in as the driver in writing during any appeal to the PPC, i don't think we've seen one case whereby the claimant referred to such in their WS.. ?? but they certainly typically include said appeal letters in their exhibits. i certainly dont think it's a good idea to 'remind' them of such at the defence stage, even if the defendant did admit such in a written appeal. i would further go as far to say, that could be even more damaging to the whole case than a judge admonishing a defendant for not appealing to the PPC in the 1st place. it sort of blows the defendant out the water before the judge reads anything else. dx

    • 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.

Briefly: Company – Vodafone – 18 Month Contract

After 4 months, split with partner, left in serious debt (about £60k)

Phone returned to Vodafone + explanation and minimal offer

Vodafone keep phone and no response

Passed to CrapQuest – Letter DEMANDING payment

Letter + copy of Vodafone letter to CrapQuest

Rejected by CrapQuest

Letter to Crapquest requesting Statement, Letter of Assignment, T & C’s

Letter from CrapQuest stating they did not require a Letter of Assignment, statement just a total on a pice of paper

In meantime CrapQuest pass Debt to Scotballs

Email to Scotballs telling them account in query. Get apology and a/c returned to CrapQuest

Letter from CrapQuest offering 50% discount if paid immediately – Have they purchased debt

As no Letter Of Assigment arrive requested CrapQuest to desease processing my data

No response – Letter to CrapQuest indicating I would take legal action under the DPA

Debt passed to Fredprickson Demanding payment or they will go to court

 

As Fredprickson are not the account holder I know that any action will need Vodafone on it. My question is as this has been passed all over the place between mugs and thugs and with no letter of assignment and therefore breaching the Data Protection Act, not forgetting the offer of a 50% discount from CrapQuest, when / if this goes legal where do I stand as I no longer have the phone (can I request this back) as I would not have had the full benefit fromthe phone. I am not trying to dodge the debt but get a fair result

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Can you clarify? I would imagine CQ have soemsort of formal arrangement with VF to handle debt. Would they necessarily need an individual letter for each account? Presumably it could be done in bulk so they would still have permission from VF even if they didn't have an actual invidiual letter.

Let me put it this way, if I sent you a letter with just "You Owe £500" would you pay me. Of course not.

If they are after the lot (around £600) then the phone back unlocked so I could go PAYG.

 

I am in very serious debt and a DMC has taken on my debts (this before I knew about this contract) and I have been squeezed to almost the limit so it would be a minimal payment.

 

If I did not get the phone back then the bill to the time Vodafone terminated the contract themselves (about £180)

 

I have never given Vodafone express permission to either transmit or send my data in any form to a third party (no mention of such in T&C's), that needs to be corrected.

 

I have never received a default notice (No one can prove it has been sent either, again against rules as it should be sent by recorded delivery) therefore any default removed from my Credit file

 

BUT .. also, this account has been passed between all the DCA's mentioned whilst this was under query .. definately NOT allowed .. and therefore in breach of the DPA

 

Apart from that nil as I will be leaving the UK and certainly do not wish to use Vodafone in SE Asia

Yo had the same problem, Lee from Vodafone sorted it out for me. Give him a nudge. Nice to deal with a OC team instead of DCA. Excellent service as well.

 

Thanks for stepping in to assist the OP here guys - I appreciate it.

 

Kind regards to you all.

Bryan 'bloody' Carter is an extremely irritating excuse for a solicitor, quite how he is still working as one I'll never know.

 

Get in touch with the Legal Ombudsman and make a formal complaint about him, the sooner he is disbarred the better.

Hi Queens_king,

As such, could you either update the thread with your email reference number or re-send it to the address I'll PM you with in a moment?

Bryan 'bloody' Carter at his very best! Why oh why do companies allow their name to be dragged into the gutter by using such a pathetic outfit such as these? Could it be the No win No fee? Or just that these clown outfits are the cheapest and are indicative of the customer service you should expect from big corporations!

Hi Queens_king,

 

Thanks for coming back to me.

 

To enable me to locate the account in question you'll just need to provide me with either the mobile or account number together with your name, address and date of birth for security.

 

In the event you can't remember the mobile or account number, don't worry, just provide me with the rest of the information and I'll do my best to track it down.

 

Kind regards,

Is there anyone who is not associated with Vodafone or Vodafone Associated companies who may be able to give me some advice on two emails. I am unable to post them on the forum as I do not wish for prying Vodafone eyes to read the contents as I am anticipating this will go to court and obviously do not wish for any advance warnings issued to vodafone of the content.

 

Sorry Lee but your last email stands for Zilch as far as I am concerned.

Seriously IMO it is far better to be dealing with the OC than it is for any third party DCA they choose to use.

 

You just need to bear with it, if Voda wanted to go to court over this, then they would have done so long before now, and most certainly they wouldn't have employed such incompetent DCA's to chase you.

 

The majority of letters you receive from DCA's are computer generated, and the only human input they will have had is from the postman pushing it through your letter box.

 

I would strongly urge you to give Lee some more time and another chance in dealing with this for you.

Hi Queens_king,

 

I'm sorry that you feel that the only way of getting this resolved would be to escalate matters through the courts and of course I'd disagree with you here.

 

To enable me to assist you further could you let me know which aspects of my email you're unhappy with or unsure of and I'll happily provide clarification where necessary?

 

Kind regards,
