    • We need to see the actual document from the IAS where it is written - "The Operator's evidence shows no payment for the Appellant's vehicle, or anything similar. It does show two payments for the same registration in quick succession. I would take a reasonable guess, based on the circumstances described, that the person paying has paid for the registration of the person they assisted again." You can't just type it up yourself. At the hearing in July or August or whenever the judge will have two Witness Statements. One from Bank's director says you never made a second appeal. You say you did make a second appeal and the IAS concluded that payment was made. The judge will immediately twig that either you or the director is lying.  But who? Fail to show the documentation form the IAS and instead just produce something you've typed yourself will make it look like you just made up the appeal and you are lying and you will lose the case. Please let us see what the IAS adjudicator sent.
    • I used to have a retail outlet in London selling my husband's photography.  We also had a co-op with staff so they weren't directly employed by me, but I paid for the other overheads etc.  When my husband died, I carried on as usual for a while but then I became ill and moved quite far away so logistically was becoming very difficult.  I came to an arrangement (verbal) with one of the guys I trusted, that I would send him the images to print and sell as normal, and I wouldn't take any money, as a short term solution until I got back on my feet and worked out the best way to do things. He would pay all the  rent, insurance etc... Over a year later, not able to give things away for free anymore,  I drew up a contract as a wholesale agreement, so I would get everything printed and sent to him and I would invoice his for what he ordered. I noticed form the beginning that he wasn't ordering enough or frequently enough to be making any money, and was suspicious he was doing his own orders on the sly and ordering just enough from me to keep my happy.  I checked with my printer, which I've been with for 20 years, and he sad he wasn't getting orders for my images from anyone else. I emailed a few other printers to ask them to keep a look out for some images but I soon realised this would be impossible to police.  The only option really would be to buy a print from him and check the stamp on the back of it.  I finally managed to get hold of on the prints on sale, and sure enough, he did not order it through me.   In the contract he signed in 2022 it explicitly states that he must destroy all files I had previously sent him etc etc so e is in breach of that.  When I drew up the contract, I was careful to make sure it was legally binding, but before I let rip at him, I need to know where I stand.  The contract is here: PARTIES This WHOLESALE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made effective as of 30th June, 2022, by and between ############################## The Supplier and the Client, collectively referred to as the "Parties," hereby agree to the following terms: TERMS AND CONDITIONS SALES OF GOODS The Supplier agrees to provide the following goods to the Client (“Goods”): Description of Goods ################################# Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b BOTH PARTIES AGREE: The Client purchases the Goods through the Supplier directly, and agrees to delete/destroy any previously held digital images (Goods) owned by the Supplier, and agrees not to use any such files for monetary gain, outside of this agreement, either directly or through a third party from immediate effect of this agreement. The Client purchases the other materials necessary for resale of the Goods independently of this agreement. The Client shall have exclusive rights for resale of Goods at ###########, and also with permission, as a retailer of the Goods elsewhere, provided that there is no conflict of interest between the Supplier and the Client. The Client is free to decide their own retail prices, for the Goods. The Supplier shall use #####  to provide the printed Goods on Fujifilm Crystal Archive paper, with Lustre finish, and will not use any other Printer unless #### cease to trade, without prior approval from the Client. The Supplier shall not impose restrictions on size or frequency of orders made by the Client. The prices provided by the Supplier shall not increase for a minimum of 3 years, unless the prices of the raw materials rise, in which case the client will be informed immediately. Any discounts/promotional prices of raw materials shall be passed on to the Client by the Supplier, and the invoice will show adjustments for this, as well as credit for return postage of any damaged goods. This agreement can be terminated by the Client without notice; the Supplier must give notice of no less than 90 days, unless the terms of the agreement are breached, in which case, the agreement can be terminated with immediate effect. PAYMENT Orders must be paid for upon receipt of invoice, via Bank transfer: ######### Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b DELIVERY AND INSPECTIONS All orders received by 12.00am (midnight) shall be processed by the Supplier the following working day and delivery of order shall arrive in accordance with the Royal Mail schedule, or DPD, should express delivery be requested. The Client shall be liable for the delivery charge which shall be added to the invoice. The Goods will be delivered to the address specified by the Client. The Client shall be provided with order tracking, and should any problems arise with the ordering system or the couriers (Royal Mail, DPD), the Client shall be informed without delay of any such issues. The Client will inspect the Goods and report any defects or damage to the Goods in transit as soon as possible upon receipt of Goods, and will retain damaged Goods for return to Supplier for refund/replacement. GENERAL PROVISIONS CONFIDENTIALITY The prices of the Goods and other information contained in this Agreement is confidential and will not be disclosed by either party unless with prior written consent of the other party. INDEMNIFICATION The Client indemnifies the Supplier from any claims, liabilities, and expenses made by any third party vendors or customers of the Client. GOVERNING LAW This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with UK Law. ACCEPTANCE Both parties understand and accept the wholesale arrangement stipulated under this Agreement. Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Parties has executed this Wholesale Agreement as of the day and year set forth above.   Signed by us both electronically.   I haven't broached any of this yet, and I am looking for some advice about what action to take.  The main issue I've got is that he has still go those images.  If I terminate the contract, I will need to know that he no longer has those images and I can't think of a bulletproof way to do this. I'm thinking I might tell him I will continue with the contract but ask for a  sum in damages and say that if I find out he's still doing it down the line I will terminate the contract and sue him for damages. The damages side of things I'm not sure how it would work as he is self employed, and I'm positive he doesn't declare all of his earnings to HMRC, in order to find out how much I have lost, would the court demand to go through his tax self assessments?  I'm not sure how to proceed with this, I don't want to lose that place as an outlet as it is in a prime spot in London, which is why I let him have those images in the first place as I would have had to pull out altogether at that point.  I am regretting it somewhat now though.  Please help.
    • I cannot locate anything in my paper work that states 2 payments were made? Perhaps you could point this out? In reply from IAS it states "The ticketing data has been attached" nothing was sent to me. I made a response to the IAS all this was done online
    • Thanks again for your responses. The concern I have here, is that freeholder of the land (a company, who presumably would have been the ones to have initially instructed PPM to manage the parking here), will have proof of exactly how long the vehicle was on site for, as the driver was meeting operatives from that company on a separate matter. On this basis, if the matter was to get to court, I feel all the other technicalities about signage, size of signage/font, lack of start/finish times, will not be enough to have any case dropped? This PCN was brought up to the freeholder but they have advised that PPM will not waive this charge.

    • 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.

In May of this year, I had a minor bump. I was in Tescos fuel station and reversed into another car that was behind me. The car in question was a MG sports car. I checked my rear view mirror, saw nothing so started to reverse. I hadnt moved more than 1 ft when I felt the collision. I honestly hadnt seen this car behind me, it was that low to the ground. There was no damage at all to my car, not even a scratch, but the other parties car was slightly damaged in that it had a bent front bumper and the indicator lens was smashed.

I admitted liability straight away and passed my details onto my insurance. No problem. Back end of May, i recieved a letter from the other parties insurance stating that I owed him £777 + Vat etc, for car hire!! And unless this was paid withing 14 days, I would be taken to County Court to claim the money owed!.

I contacted my Inusrance (Swiftcover) and they said not to worry, forget about it can you pass the letter on to us, which I duly did.

Yesterday, I recieved a County Court summons for the amount, plus an extra £150 for expenses etc!!

 

Is this normal ? I will be sending these forms to Swiftcover, but I feel that my insurance should be dealing with this, not me! And that I shouldnt be recieving any correspondance at all. After all, Its what I pay fully comprehensive for! IMO, this is not acceptable. What I dont want, is for 14 days to lapse and then to recieve another letter informing me that I now owe £900+

 

I think myself, that £700 car hire is a bit exsessive and can see why my insurance are questioning this and it looks like his insurance are not happy with my insurance, so they have gone direct to me to try and scare me into paying. Just exactly where do I stand with this ?

 

Help as this has me worried to death! I didnt sleep last night thinking I was going to be getting a bill for £900, which I dont have !!:-(

Suggest that you send it onto Swiftcover urgently by recorded delivery, with a covering letter asking them to deal with it as a matter of urgency and to reply to you in writing stating what actions they will be taking.

We could do with some help from you.

If you have a court date, do not ignore and attend if Swift have not confirmed they will be dealing with it; defend it and take all correspondence with you.

Email them as well amd keep doing so untill you get a response.

I would guess that at least part of the problem here lies with your insurance company. If they're not dealing with the other party as quickly as they would like or are querying the hire charges for example, the other party might feel they have no choice but to issue proceedings and, since you are the liable party, the proceedings have to be issued in your name.

As has already been advised, contact your insurers urgently and keep on top of them to make sure they are dealing with this properly. Ultimately, if they can't agree then it may go to court and you may be required to attend.

Thanks for the speedy replies and apologies about posting this in the wrong section:oops:

 

There is no court date on the forms that came through the post that I can see, its seems it a claim form via the courts ?Only date on it I can see is the 13th of July, the issue date and forms asking me my personal details and how much I earn monthly.

Attending court would be out of the question as I live too far away, plus work would not allow me the time off to attend

Contact your insurers first thing tomorrow. When you send the papers to them, keep a copy for yourself.

 

If a defence is issued then the claim will be transferred to your local court.

i guess reasonable costs for car hire...

my question ould be what car did he hire, and which garage did he go to that cudnt do the work for weeks!! a standard car you could rent for £150 pw so he is saying for a standard saloon he had a rental for 5weeks.

 

he should only be renting a small call imo cos in an MG sports he only gets 2 seats, so a ca hire is almost an upgrade as it gives 5 seats! lol upgrades arent covered lol!

 

cheeky man!

Spoke to the insurance today and they have said just send all paperwork to them and in the meantime, they will contact the third parties insurance and say that all future dealing should be dealt directly with them and not me.

 

Also found out that he is claiming almost £1600 worth of damge to his car as well ? And due to this his car was written off. Cannot understand this, my car bumber is plastic and not a sctatch on it. His damage at the time, was a dent in his bumper and broken indicator lens, his headlamps were fine as was his radiator, in fact, he went on to fill his car up and I watched him drive it away !

 

Be interesting to see the photos he has submitted for the damage as I reckon there is something going on here and he is trying to pull a fast one, using his insurance

Update:

All paperwork recieved from the 3rd party and his insurance have been passed onto my Insurance, Swiftcover, who are acting on my behalf ( which they should tbh) and up to now, have been nothing short of brilliant. Thier manner when dealing with me and this have been nothing short of 100% proffesional.

 

Top marks up to now for them
