    • Well we can't predict what the judge will believe. PE will say that they responded in the deadline and you will say they don't. Nobody can tell what a random DJ will decide. However if you go for an OOC settlement you should still be able to get some money
    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • 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.

Hello,

 

I am in the position of receiving continued telephone calls and text messages on my mobile asking for aand aimed at a person unkown to me.

having googled the telephone number 01618 501460, they appear to be coming from a company called Opos.

 

They ask if i am this named female which I obviously am not since I am male.

They then continue to ask if they can speak to her and make all sorts of allegations and comments when I inform that they have a wrong number, I do not know her and they must be mistaken.

 

I also continue to receive repaeated Text messages asking this female to call differenttly named individual regarding various matters.

Different reasons are given in different messages, which come form different mobile numbers, but the quoted reference number is always the same.

 

I have asked them on several occasions to stop calling and texting me but they continue to do so.

 

What needs to be done to stop this ?

Next time they phone, see if you can speak to a manager about getting your number deleted, as they have the wrong person. May be easier than arranging to block numbers or have to write to complain. I think there is a helpline or online reporting system where you can report nuisance mobile calls.

write or email the data controller at their head office quoting the telephone number that they are ringing you on and inform them that they have the wrong number and that under the data protection act they are required to keep upto date and accurate records.

 

 

Warn them if they continue to harass you then you will have no option but to contact the ICO.

 

 

I was advised to do this by the ICO and it worked like a dream with a letter of apology from the offending company.

 

 

hope this helps

Next time they ring ask them some security questions ( D.O.B., inside leg, last time they went out on the town etc) and when they refuse to answer the questions get snotty with them and hang up. jaw.gif

 

Or say 'I'll see if I can find them wait 2-3 mins and say no they still dont live and and I still don't know them but if you would like to try again on the 31st April I'll see if I can find them.' :lol:

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

I had the same trouble with Barclaycard who, for some reason, had my mobile number for a woman who lived many miles from me and who was behind with payments. I also had the same difficulties with a garage and a dentist surgery who rang my number for the same woman. Telling the Barclaycard callers they had the wrong number did not seem to register.

 

Eventually B'card passed the account to a debt collector. At this point I e-mailed Barclaycard and the collector informing them in no uncertain terms the number they held for their customer was wrong. I demanded confirmation by return the number would be removed from their databases and informed them any further contact - it was getting beyond a joke - would result in action being taken against them. The calls ceased.
