    • Your case shows the idiocy of employing a solicitor to do things you could easily do yourself. Had Countryside dealt with their own case they would have entered judgement on 4 June and there would have been no way back for you. But they thought they were clever by running to Rachael and Sean of BW Legal for a more "professional" (aye, right) service.  These dodgy solicitors can only make money on private parking cases by doing everything on the ultra cheap and certainly cant check the judgement date for every single separate case. Ho!  Ho!  Ho! Anyway, glad you got the defence filed OK. The next stage is that the central bulk court will send out a simple form called a Directions Questionnaire to you and to Countrywide which is part of the allocations process to your local court.  If you read this short thread you will see all the stages of the court process  https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/406892-highview-parking-anpr-pcn-claimform-urban-exchange-manchester-claim-dismissed/#comments
    • It is already trespass, nothing further needed to make out trespass. Not sure where ‘interference with goods’ helps you / how you’d bring a claim for that that stops them parking there.
    • Thanks Dx,    For some further information, the holiday was booked as a package holiday for 2. One of the 2 had to be changed, and changing costs £700 for a new flight as "tickets had been issued and they cant do a name change". I cant quite figure out how compensation works for things when it comes to package holidays.    From what I can tell  - The plane was due to land in Turks and Caicos to drop off passengers, something happened during descent, resulting in technical fault.  - The rest of the original flight from Turks & Caicos -> Montego Bay was cancelled  - A New flight was put on today, which was then delayed by 1.5hrs aswell  - Hotel was provided for the night after much hassle.  - 1.5 days, 2 evenings of holiday lost  If I understand correctly, since the original flight (LHR -> Turks -> Montego Bay) was cancelled, they are both entitled to a refund on that full flight? I can't quite work out if they are only entitled to a refund for the equivalent of Turks -> Montego Bay, or for the full LHR->Turks->Montego Bay, since it was issued as one ticket/all Virgin, and they should have arrived yesterday..?)  I can't work out how to get the cost of that compensation, or whether its a set figure, and how the loss of days of holiday is factored in   I am aware:  If you received less than 14 days’ notice of the cancellation, you are generally due compensation, awarded in pounds or euros depending on where your flight was due to depart from, according to the following scale: £220 / €250 for all flights of 1,500km or less (e.g. Glasgow to Amsterdam); £350 / €400 for all flights between 1,500km and 3,500km (e.g. East Midlands to Marrakech); £520 / €600 for all other flights (e.g. London to New York). Compensation will be reduced by 50% if the arrival time of the replacement flight doesn’t exceed the arrival time of the original flight by: two hours for flights of 1,500km or less; three hours for flights between 1,500km and 3,500km; four hours for all other flights. So I "think" its £520pp for the flight part as compensation (7500km)... but some sites say its a full refund for the flight... is it both?  Thanks,  Ryan  
    • Our business was only transacted digitally as I was not in England at that time.  
    • Funny. But not sure I should ! Wondering if I could place pots and plants - which a) would look nice and b) would it then be trespass and interference of goods?

    • 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.

You now complain about that text to the OFT and the FOS and Trading Standards

 

They CANNOT charge you as if you still have the loan, that is wrong, the original term has ended and any charges now shoul theoretically be at 8% per annum statutory interest.

 

They are having a laugh pretending they are 'fully compliant' when they are not. Goodness knows what T&CS they provided to the OFT to get a licence - certainly NOT the ones they are operating under.

Have you written to them with a repayment proposal yet?

 

Reading back I notice you are in receipt of benefits. If you haven't, i would reply in writing, stating that you are in receipt of benefits, in financial hardship and are therefore only in a position to pay £1pcm. Finish the letter by stating you will ONLY deal with this matter in writing.

 

You will get two responses.

 

1. It will be either ignored/rejected, in which case you just write again with the same offer.

2. They will consider your proposals but only on the basis that you supply them with your debit card information to set up the payments. NEVER do this. They'll just take whatever they want. ONLY ever use a standing order, or pre-loaded credit card.

 

Although nothing at all will happen if you ignored them, i think it's worth making a token offer of repayment, because in the hugely unlikely event of them taking you to court, you will be able to show that you were willing to tackle the debt, and they will have to explain the farcical fantasy land charges.

 

If they continue to text and phone, send them the telephone harassment template. There's one in the Templates library here, which quotes the relevant legislation. The law is there to protect you, so use against these clowns.

 

Other than this, I think the only other weapon up their sleeve is a letter which will threaten you with Police action as you have "fraudently taken out a loan" or something. Don't be intimidated in the slightest by it. It's verging on the comical.

 

Lastly, copy EVERY bit of correspondence to the OFT/FOS. You may also want to involve Stella Creasey MP who is apparently working on proposals to deal with these crooks.

Being Dormant doesn't mean they are not trading, it usually means that they are in some kind of changeover so it might be worth checking Companies House for any name change again.

 

Marshall Hoares may have registered bailiffs but these bailiffs are powerless when collecting common commercial debt, which is what a payday loan is. The bailiffs cannot use their bailiff powers unless a court order has been breached.

 

That message and any others you get (sounds like their standard countdown message) MUST go to the OFT.

its curious how you received the following breakdown

 

You currently owe:

 

Loan and interestlink3.gif GBP196

Cash Transmission Fee GBP 5

Missed Payment Fee 1 (day 29) GBP 10

Solicitors - Case Prepar ation GBP 150

Missed Payment Fee 2 (day 43) GBP 10

NDR Accept Case File GBP 200

 

Repayments todate GBP0

Total GBP 571

 

 

 

i likewise received this breakdown in the last few days. However i have made an extension payment of £48, i made a payment of £40 to avoid the extra charges and a token payment of £10 towards this balance yet they are still demanding the amount of £571 from me also. Seems a set amount they try to attain. you can see the issues im having in my thread i posted today giving me a nervous breakdown.

£10 missed fee is classed as a penalty fee and is reclaimable.

 

Solicitors case preperation is classed as an unfair charge and is reclaimable. Same with NDR case file crap.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

You are falling into their trap by worrying about it. They simply add on whatever charges they like and the uneducated debtors think that the fee's etc are legit. The educated people, such as people who visit sites like CAG, know they are fraudulant and thats why we advise people to ignore them and not give them a second thought.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..
