    • Hi everyone, Apologies for bringing up the same topic regarding these individuals. I wish I had found this forum earlier, as I've seen very similar cases. However, I need your help in figuring out what to do next because we've involved our partners/resellers. I work as an IT Manager in a company outside of the UK. We acquired a license from a certified reseller (along with a support agreement) and also obtained training sessions from them. The issue arose when we needed to register two people for the training sessions, so we used an external laptop for the second user to keep up with the sessions for only a month. During this period, the laptop was solely used for the training sessions. After two weeks, my boss forwarded an email to me from Ms Vinces, stating that we are using illicit software from SolidWorks. Since this has never happened to me or anyone we know, I went into panic mode and had a meeting with her. During the meeting, we explained that we were using an external laptop solely for the training sessions and that the laptop had not been used within the company since her email. She informed us that for such cases, there are demos and special licenses (though our reseller did not mention these types of licenses when we made our initial purchase). She then mentioned that we had utilized products worth approximately €25k and presented us with two options: either pay the agreed value or acquire SolidWorks products. We expressed that the cost was too high, and our business couldn't support such expenses. I assured her that we would discuss the matter with the company board and get back to her. After the meeting, we contacted the company reseller from whom we purchased the license, explained the situation, and mentioned the use of an external laptop. They said they would speak to Maria and help mediate the situation. We hoped to significantly reduce the cost, perhaps to that of a 1-year professional license. Unfortunately, we were mistaken. The reseller mediated a value €2k less than what Maria had suggested (essentially, we would need to acquire two professional lifetime licenses and two years of support for a total of €23k). This amount is still beyond our means, but they insisted that the price was non-negotiable and wouldn't be reduced any further. The entire situation feels odd because she never provided us with addresses or other evidence (which I should have requested), and she's pressuring us to resolve the matter by the end of the month, with payment to be made through the reseller. This makes me feel as though the reseller is taking advantage of the situation to profit from it. Currently, we're trying to buy some time. We plan to meet with the reseller next week but are uncertain about how to proceed with them or whether we should respond to the mediator.
    • Thanks London  if I’ve read correctly the questionaire wants me to post his actual name on a public forum… is that correct.  I’ve only had a quick read so far
    • Plenty of success stories, also bear in mind not everyone updates the forum.  Overdale's want you to roll over and pay, without using your enshrined legal right to defend. make you wet yourself in fear that a solicitor will Take you to court, so you will pay up without question. Most people do just that,  but you are lucky that you have found this place and can help you put together a good defence. You should get reading on some other Capital One and Overdale's cases on the forum to get an idea of how it works.  
    • In both versions the three references to "your clients" near the end need to be changed to "you" or "your" as Alliance are not using solicitors, they have sent the LoC themselves. Personally I'd change "Dear ALLIANCE PARKING Litigation Dept" to "Dear Kev".  It would show you'd done your homework, looked up the company, and seen it's a pathetic one-man band rather than having any departments.  The PPCs love to pretend they have some official power and so you should be scared of them - showing you've sussed their sordid games and you're confident about fighting them undermines all this.  In fact that's the whole point of a snotty letter - to show you'd be big trouble for them if they did do court so better to drop you like a hot potato and go and pursue mugs who just give in instead. In the very, very, very, very unlikely case of Kev doing court, it'd be better that he didn't know in advance all the legal arguments you'd be using, so I'd heavily reduce the number of cards being played.
    • Thanx Londoneill get on to it this evening having a read around these forums I can’t seem to find many success stories using your methods. So how successful are these methods or am I just buying time for him  and a ccj will be inevitable in the end. Thanks another question is, will he have to appear at court..? I am not sure he has got it in him

    • 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.

Yes, it's rubbish.

 

From Wilson vs Hurstanger Ltd, COA June 2007

 

33. In my judgment the objective of Schedule 6 is to ensure that, as an inflexible condition of enforceability, certain basic minimum terms are included which the parties (with the benefit of legal advice if necessary) and/or the court can identify within the four corners of the agreement. Those minimum provisions combined with the requirement under section 61 that all the terms should be in a single document, and backed up by the provisions of section 127 (3), ensure that these core terms are expressly set out in the agreement itself: they cannot be orally agreed; they cannot be found in another document; they cannot be implied; and above all they cannot be in the slightest mis-stated. As a matter of policy, the lender is denied any room for manoeuvre in respect of them.

 

Did you use this to argue against their claim?

 

Hi Ian,

 

Yes I did - it was in my skeleton arguments, but I didn't add the whole case to my bundle. She told me that she would only use the evidence in front her (bear in mined I was a LIP AND I only got their skeleton arguments the night before, by email!!!) she let them use things that they had enetered THE MORNING of the trial but wouldn't take the case from me. they also brought up the definitions sections without it being in their arguments or bunlde - he admitted he onyl thought about it on the train!!

 

She wasn't very nice at all, basically called me a lier and said that with reagrds to defaults - there's nothing to stop thm issuing new ones which would stay on my file for another 6 years from now if the agreements were enforcable.

 

I asked for leave to appeal on the basis that it was "hearsay" that the prescribed terms were in the T&C's - she told me it wasn't hearsy, because he had made ruling based on fact. She couldn't tell me what the fact was and woudn't give me leave, so said I have to apply to a circuit judge.

she knew nothing at all - she kept saying, but that woudl cause "banking chaos" despite having the rulings of higher courts in front of her and me pointing out that the CCA was implemented to protect consumers.

 

She was compelety bumming the bank's solicitor and he was bumming her - it was making me feel physically sick. I knew i didn't have a chance, right from the start.

HI Uni

 

Notice subseccrion (a) says containing this means the terms must be contained within the document the section.

(b) refers to other pieces of information. Which means other documents mentioned in the above.

 

Prof Goode makes this point in his book where he talkes about the difference between the terms contained and embodied, its on page 322. I have reproduced the bit of the act unfer here.

Unfortunately i cannot include the quote from Dr, goodes book athough i can send you a scan of the page if you email me.

 

Big difference between the words contained and embodies.

 

 

(a) a document in the prescribed form itself containing all the prescribed

terms and conforming to regulations under section 60(1) is signed in the

prescribed manner both by the debtor or hirer and by or on behalf of the

creditor or owner, and

(b) the document embodies all the terms of the agreement, other than

implied terms, and

©

the document is, when presented or sent to the debtor or hirer for

Unfortunately judges hearing cases in the county court are not taking claims against the big boys seriously and are just going through the motions. I think an appeal in your case may result in a different outcome. However there is the cost implication if you are unsuccessful.

 

Good luck.

Agreed, Paul.

 

Interesting, though, as I was just considering this costs point - surely a small claims track appeal to a Circuit Judge, as in un1's (and mine!) case, would mean that costs are limited to court fees and any ordered by the court if we were to be deemed vexatious, only?

Correct Chris, although if deemed unreasonable you could be spanked for costs, in reality i cannot see that happening and the other sides costs would be minimal

There can't be that many Judges out there, so why don't we start to compile a CAG List of Judges, based on CAG Members direct experiences in Court, after all, we must've seen them all by now!

 

Something along the lines of:

 

Fair and Reasonable Judges

 

Judge Smith

Judge Jones

 

CCA Clueless Judges

 

Judge Green

Judge Red

Judge Blue

 

Bank Biased Judges

 

Judge Brown

 

Something like this could give people a Heads Up on the Judge Lottery before they step into Court. Indeed, it might even force a change that could remove or reduce the Lottery aspect. Some Judges may start to do their job a little better if they realised their conduct and performance were being watched and ranked, and their bias and/or incompetence made public.

 

Cheers,

Guys,

 

I lost a case yesterday and wasn't givn leave to appeal so I'm taking it to a circuit judge.

 

The bank relied on the following from the CCA:

 

[/font][/size][/font]

 

They reckon that this means the prescribed terms can be in the t&Cs, which is a seperate document. The judge agreed (although, the bank admitted they didn't have the T&C's and couldn't confirm their contents).

 

Any thoughts on this?

 

HI

This really dies need challengining.

 

You only need to look at the act.

Section 61a is quite clear as is SI1983/1553 that the agreement must contain the terms.

The provision mentioned in subsection(b) is to provide an overall coverage for the inclusion of other information relavant to the document not those stipulated by section 60.

 

Dr Goode even conjectures that section (b) could be interpreted to mean that all documentaion involved in the purchasing of the loan should be included, this would mean any advertising and pre contractual information even that not set in writing, for instance any verbal promises made by the creditor under section 56 (in the anticedent neotiations ) would have to be included as since they were spoken they could not be regarded as implied terms and would fall under section 61(b).

If they were not, then in theory section 65 would apply and the agreement could be made unenforceable. In practice the court would not be likely to allow this but it illustrates the funcion of section 61(b) and also the meaning of the term "embody" which is a world away from, "contained", as in 61(a) wich relates to the terms that must be within the agreement.

Besty regards

Peter
