    • is the side street solely for access to your garages? who owns the land and thus the road? dx  
    • A local business has been parking on an off-street parking space in front of my garages (in a side street).  I wasn't using them for a while so didnt bother to do anything.  But now a second local business is also using the osp - taking it in turns with the 1st biz.  This has started to nark me.    The employees choose to drive to work.  There is no private parking in their business's street.  But there are some underground secure garages in their street - which cost apx £2.4k/y to rent - which works out apx £6.60/d. (I believe one of the biz owners already rent one for storage purposes).  If the employee had to park on a meter it would cost them £6.60/h - £66 for 10h and have to move every 4h.  They just don't want to pay for parking. I haven't confronted either of them.  Instead I just put 2 clear "no parking" signs in front of the garages. And a note on one of the cars specifically saying that as they don't live or rent in the street and it's private land could they stop parking.   They ignored that.  And just put notes on their dash with a # to call if one needs the car moved.  There is a sign and they've been told in writing to stop parking. And they are just ignoring it.    I don't what a confrontation.    I don't want to go to the expense of bollards (other than maybe traffic plastic ones - but they'll probs just move them).  Council won't do zilch cos it's private land. And police won't get involved - unless I clamp/ tow the cars and then they'd be after me, not the drivers!    What's the best thing to do?
    • yes might be the best idea. you'd only at best get 8% flat interest and that unusual on a GOGW if this was what it was. simply contact the FOS and let them know its resolved. dx  
    • If you’ve ever wondered how you might fare in armed combat, the first 20 minutes of Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan is likely to make you thank your lucky stars you were born too late to storm the Normandy beaches on June 6 1944. I suspect many of us might be driven to identify with those men who were absolutely turned to stone by fear. And yet these young men, mainly conscripts, screwed their courage to the sticking point and did the job the fate had chosen for them, heroes all.   .. UK PM Sunak perhaps thinks he understands mind numbing fear better than many as he dishonorably fled the beachhead to do nothing more than double down on dishonest spin and lies from the safety of a UK studio .. The Normandy heroes who not only held their positions, but advanced through hell to a victory that changed the entire course of history .. undoubtedly hold a different perspective.     from a perspective in TheConversation     ..

    • Yes, send a message to the purchaser but keep it very friendly and simply that you noticed that the package has now been delivered.  I suggest that you ask them if they want to keep the package still or if they would rather return it and that if they want to keep it then please will they return your payment to you to your PayPal address. Keep it as polite and friendly as possible and then we will decide what to do if he doesn't reply or refuses.  Meanwhile I will have a look at Google earth and see if you are able to spot the gas meter outside the house to get an idea if the delivery is real.

    • 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 suggest you check the electoral register for any

reference to another person living at your address,

it would seem the most likely place for Freds to get

the information.

Could be on a credit record of the debtor concerned. You never know it could be connected to the other problem, hence suggestion to inform the original creditor so they can involve the Police if necessary. Often people connected with identity frauds are carrying out multiple crimes.

We could do with some help from you.

I suggest you take it in to the courts with an affadavit signed and dated by yourself (which will mirror your reasons for requesting a dismissal of the petition). you MUST ask the court if the document needs to be 'sworn' in by the court staff.....don't forget to include any letters that you have sent in dispute (and you need to refer to them (number them if need be) in your affadavit). You also MUST include your costs too...the strength of submitting your costs may also be offset if the other side are claiming them also....(The reason I mention an affadavit is because recently the rules for statutory demands have changed in that you no longer need an affadavit for those - but I think you STILL may need one for dismmissing a bankruptcy petition)

 

This is what your affadavit will look like

 

AFFIDAVIT

 

I (name) of (address), (occupation)

 

MAKE OATH and say as follows:

 

 

 

____________________________________

Signature

 

SWORN AT (address)

this day of year

 

before me,

You should show the judge how angry and annoyed you are at having to go through this...maybe even an apology for not knowing the exact procedure can't go amiss, and call the judge Sir or Madam.....and find your resolve and don't be a pushover. And if the opposing solicitor wants to talk to you before the case, then be VARY careful what you say and say that you will listen to them. I think at this stage (and depending on the judge (don't forget to refer to the high court cases in your affadavit too to make your point) I think you should get this dismissed.....I can only presume that Lowells have decided not to resolve this outside of the court, the best way to show them is to hit them in the pocket with a costs order. This kind of behaviour is unnacceptable....

42man is bang on the money here.

 

For this to have got so far just shows how bad this industry is.

 

Foggy, I completely empathise with you. It is a monumental waste of time for both parties concerned. You must hit Lowell for six in the court room, be clear and concise... as you are acting LiP no-one expects you to know consumer law inside and out but the facts should speak for themselves and make sure you go all out for wasted costs, its £18 per hour now you can claim back.

I'm all for common sense to prevail here but make sure you spell this mistake Lowell have made out to the Judge and give Lowell the thrashing they deserve for putting you in a position no-one should have to be in.

Today I have received from Lowells copies of Statements referring to the alleged debt also the page of an agreement with a signature on and a date. This is a copy. The statements mean nothing to me but the signature is very similar to mine. It also seems odd that these documents have not been produced before. I am shook up because it makes my case harder but I intend to fight on. I know now its definitely not my debt I will PM you with the reasons why.

The agreement says Capital One, Credit Card agreement . My name and address typed underneath. The rest of the agreement is so small you cannot read it. There is a box with my signature in it (allegedly) with the date 18 050 06 written at the side . Further down a stamped date of 19 May 2006 and a signature you cannot read. No personal details are on and you cannot read the terms and conditions. Which address do I post it too.

Hi foggy

I just wanted to reassure you that I am continuing to follow this for you.

I note you have now received the further information sent and I hope this will be able to help with your understanding.

We will also be able to update you very shortly with the progress of your complaint. In the meantime if you need anything from me, please let me know.

Thanks.

James.

Thank you James, I am dismayed that the person writing to me from Hamptons legal is still prepared to bully me. His letter was a case of pay up or you will be Bankcrupt. It is I feel a personal vendetta with him.

The OFT state : Bankruptcy should not be used as a Debt Collecting tool especially to the most vulnerable people in society.: I am in that category because of my age. This is still a much disputed debt,and the information sent just makes my resolve stronger.

I thank you for your kind e mail.

I am sorry I cannot scan from my home computer. I am now though very confident after receiving the said agreement/statements. I am swearing my documents in the Court on Monday. Do I include my exhibit one or any other evidence I am going to produce or take them with me to the hearing.?

The letter accompanying the said agreements/statement still contains a veiled threat. I think someone threatened with Bankruptcy feels terrorized enough, but I feel Lowells only aim is to make me Bankrupt whatever the cost. To them I say Bring it on.

Hi foggy

 

I have been discussing this with our Head of Legal Compliance and if you would like me to, I will arrange with him to speak to you about this? Just PM me your contact details I will get this in sorted.

 

 

Thanks.

Thank you James. I am not sure I want to speak to anyone from Lowells. Let me think about it.

You have brought this to his attention which I am more than grateful for. Lowell have not adhered to the Debt Collecting Rules and Guidelines set out by The OFT.The damage to me has already been done, mentally and health wise through their aggressive methods but hopefully the Head of Legal Compliance can review their working practices to ensure this does not happen to anyone else.

Today I have received a letter from the Judicial Revue and they are looking to investigate 4 of the points which I brought to their attention after the adjourned hearing. I did feel there was something not right (although I have never been in any Court hearing). I made 5 points but they have explained the reason why they are only reviewing 4. I am satisfied with that though.

I have complained to Lowell customer services re the last correspondence, it was insensitive ,I think ,to end with," we take Credit and Debit card payments". It seems like some sort of game to them and not the devastation it is.

I am still researching my case before the Hearing and have come across something called Judgement Proof, Have you heard of it.? It is when the person is a certain age with no other debts, which refers to me, it can be used in Court. in their defense.

I have also contacted OFT again because of continued Harassment, I did complain to Lowells Customer Complaint Manager but I have had no reply, just confirmation of the Court Hearing.

Judgement proof is not a defence. It is when the defendant would not be able to afford to pay the judgement amount as they are insolvent and it is not possible to make an attachment to earnings order.

We could do with some help from you.
