    • 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.

I just wanted to say Thankyou to everyone who helps on this website which I first discovered after my husband got a parking fine for Aldi or Lidl and I (by chance) googled the company name. A-ha, I found lots of information here, never paid and I *think* they've given up now.

 

I recently returned due to a letter for Hubby from Advantis saying they were working on behalf of British gas for an old address. He panicked and made a £120 debit card payment immediately aaarrgghh (not as suspicious as me), he also set up a DD so I bet they were laughing. He wasn't happy about the dates given though as he was with me before their stated end date so he contacted his old council who gave him the dates he was liable for housing benefit/council tax there as he had been on benefits at the time. He sent that to Advantis who wrote back stating 'their client didn't accept that'.

 

So I googled Advantis and arrived back here. After a long and very difficult call to British Gas (in India?) repeating over and over and spelling out everything, British Gas say he owes NOTHING! Very odd. Although he's always paid his bills in full he did leave the former address quickly so may have owed a little bit ? He couldn't remember.

 

So he was back on the phone to Advantis telling them so and told them to prove he owes it and that he wants the £120 back (doubt he will get it, gullible sucker) but he's been to his bank, Lloyds TSB and cancelled the DD and they've given him a number to reclaim the £120 as it was fraud- I very much doubt it as he gave them info. They've told him he can do that for upto a year after. I don't believe that, however IF British Gas say he owes nothing at that or any other property, where on earth have Advantis come from?

 

They had the right start date for him living at the past address but a random end date. I'm relieved to read they can't actually do anything, weight off our minds! We will work with British Gas IF he does owe them as its only right but what do Advantis mean? Their client doesn't accept the dates. I think the letter from Doncaster council on headed paper should be seen as legitimate, after all, he moved 80+ miles to be with me. Also if BGas say he owes nothing why would they as the alleged clients of Advantis dispute the dates. I can't get my head around it. Would BGas have sold the debt and it not show on their system now? But then if its not on their system and they'd sold the debt, BGas wouldn't be clients of Advantis??

 

My brain a fuzzed. I've told hubby to write a prove it letter and send by rec delivery and write “cheque enclosed” on the envelope :wink: so they DO sign for it. Any brains know what they are playing at?

I've moved you into the Utilities - Gas, Electricity, Water Gena

 

Don't worry about them poo pooing the council letter, it is up to them to prove you owe and not for you to prove you don't, so write by recorded and tell them to either put up or shut up. Please don't be afraid of them.

 

You should have had the direct debits returned by now as this is an instant thing in accordance with the direct debit guarantee, if not then get right back on to the bank.

I've changed the title as its going to be overlooked as it is. I was going to split the original post but can't edit it.

Hopefully sending the 'prove it' letter today. (But men in removing asbestos :sad:) Can anyone point me in the direction of a template? My hubby has already told them by phone to prove it though I just want everything written.
