    • No I'm not. Even if I was then comments on this forum wouldn't constitute legal advice in the formal sense. Now you've engaged a lawyer directly can I just make couple of final suggestions? Firstly make sure he is fully aware of the facts. And don't mix and match by taking his advice on one aspect while ploughing your own furrow on others.  Let us know how you get on now you have a solicitor acting for you.

    • Thank you for your reply, DX! I was not under the impression that paying it off would remove it from my file. My file is already trashed so it would make very little difference to any credit score. I am not certain if I can claim compensation for a damaged credit score though. Or for them reporting incorrect information for over 10 years? The original debt has been reported since 2013 as an EE debt even though they had sold it in 2014. It appears to be a breach of the Data Protection Act 1998 Section 13 and this all should have come to a head when I paid the £69 in September 2022, or so I thought. The £69 was in addition to the original outstanding balance and not sent to a DCA. Even if I had paid the full balance demanded by the DCA back in 2014 then the £69 would still have been outstanding with EE. If it turns out I have no claim then so be it. Sometimes there's not always a claim if there's blame. The CRA's will not give any reason for not removing it. They simply say it is not their information and refer me to EE. More to the point EE had my updated details since 2022 yet failed to contact me. I have been present on the electoral roll since 2012 so was traceable and I think EE have been negligent in reporting an account as in payment arrangement when in fact it had been sold to a DCA. In my mind what should have happened was the account should have been defaulted before it was closed and sold to the DCA who would then have made a new entry on my credit file with the correct details. However, a further £69 of charges were applied AFTER it was sent to the DCA and it was left open on EE systems. The account was then being reported twice. Once with EE as open with a payment arrangement for the £69 balance which has continued since 2013 and once with the DCA who reported it as defaulted in 2014 and it subsequently dropped off and was written off by the DCA, LOWELL in 2021. I am quite happy for EE to place a closed account on my credit file, marked as satisfied. However, it is clear to me that them reporting an open account with payment arrangement when the balance is £0 and the original debt has been written off is incorrect? Am I wrong?
    • OMG! I Know! .... someone here with a chance to sue Highview for breach of GDPR with a very good chance of winning, I was excited reading it especially after all the work put in by site members and thinking he could hammer them for £££'s and then, the OP disappeared half way through. Although you never know the reason so all I can say is I hope the OP is alive and well regardless. I'd relish the chance to do them for that if they breached my GDPR.

    • 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.

Motorists and shoppers looked on as the Oficer left the vehical parked on the pavement to nip in to Greggs, in union street, sunderland during lunchtime.

One city-centre motorist said “These parking laws should apply to everybody, the police seem to be ignoring the restrictions they are meant to be enforcing.”

Mototists can be fined up to £70 for parking on double-yellow lines which are enforced 24 hours a day.

Parking on the footway outside of London is not illegal for a start and assuming he is in uniform any vehicle can park with the permission of a police constable in uniform, thats the law like it or not.

The vehicle is permitted to park on double yellow lines regardless of the reason so no law has been broken, it may be anti social but hardly warrants an invesigation.

 

Funny isn't it that there also appears to be 'no loading' marks at the location also. And is it not an offence to park a vehicle on DYL's anymore then? (i.e. leave it unattended)

 

Please Note

Some conflicting moral / ethical viewpoints here, aside from the legal aspect.

 

Why should the police be allowed to "get away with it" when an ordinary person would be ticketed, vs.

"What if they had received an emergency call?"

 

They should be able to get refreshments during a shift, and if the alternative is:

1) get stood down for a break

2) park legally a way away, but be unavailable to respond for a while while on a break.

 

So, if not available to respond to an emergency, then no waiver of the "rules". If parking there so as to maintain / increase their ability to respond to protect the public : waiver.

How can we tell by looking at a photo which is the case?.

What has the 'no loading' got to do with it unless you think buying a Geggs pasty is classed as loading? Its not an offence to leave a Police vehicle on any parking restriction, for obvious reasons unless of course you think next time you dial 999 they should drive around looking for a pay and display bay before coming to assist you? Traffic orders exempt Police vehicles there is no extra clause that states that the exemption only applies provided they are not going into a shop to buy lunch.

Don't be ridiculous! The RTA applies to police vehicles as well unless they are responding to an emergency. Please provide a link to the appropriate 'exemptions' which allow police vehicles to park on double yellow lines unless acting on official police business. I'm sure the 'exemptions' you refer to (if they exist) would of been pointed out by the police in the editorial above.

Green and mean, it is not an offense IF the officers of that vehicle are going about official business. The officers in question were clearly not, and were going about personal business.

All Sunderland TROs contain the same exemptions:

 

2. Save as provided in Articles 7, 8 and 9 of this Order no person shall, except

upon the direction or with the permission of a police constable in uniform or of

a traffic warden, cause or permit any vehicle to wait in any of the lengths of

road specified in Schedule 1 to this Order, on such days and during such hours

as are specified in the said Schedule.

When the phrase "an officer in uniform" is used, it is taken to mean that the officer is acting in an official capacity. Not simply so he can park outside greggs to get a sausage role cos he couldnt be bothered walking the extra few hundred yards.

So you think it was their day off and they just decided to dress up in uniform and borrow a van?

Ok. I think im going to bow out of this. You seem intent on either starting an argument, or trying to justify your false assumptions. The police were not acting in an official capacity, as it was their offtime which still doesnt allow them to park like that, and unless you think buying a sausage roll constitutes them stopping crime......

 

Take care.

So next time an 'officer in uniform' requests you to stop you can refuse because you didn't know if he was acting in his official capacity or just wanted to say hello!!:lol:

I didn't misinterpret anything I was just pointing out the flaw in your assumption, a police officer in uniform is just that there is no 'on duty' added or 'on an emergency' clause. A police constable in uniform has the same powers whilst on duty or off, if he was on his way to Greggs in his lunch break and in uniform and saw you on your mobile driving past it would still be an offence not to stop.

Perhaps G & M would like to explain as to how the police officers were apparently prosecuted by their own force for doing exactly the same in this item? Why didn't they use his exemption in this case?
