    • I recently bought some trainers from Sports Direct and was unhappy with them and their extortionate delivery and return postage charges. I tweeted about being unhappy, and received a reply from someone claiming to be from Sports Direct asking me to send my order number and email address by pm, so a claim could be raised. Which I (stupidly) did. The account used Sports Direct's name and branding, and a blue tick.  The following day I received a call from "Sports Direct Customer Service", and with a Kenyan number. They asked for details of the issue, and then sent me an email with a request to install an app called Remitly. They provided me with a password to access the app then I saw that it had been setup for me to transfer £100, and I was asked to enter my credit card number so they could "refund" me. I told them I was uncomfortable with this (to say the least), and was just told to ring them back when I did feel comfortable doing it. Ain't never gonna happen.  I just checked my X account, and the account that sent the message asking for my details is gone. I feel like a complete idiot falling for what was a clear scam. But at least I realised before any real damage was done. if you make a complaint about a company on social media, and you get a reply from someone claiming to be from that company and asking for personal details, tread very carefully.   
    • The good news is that their PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012  Schedule 4.. First under Section 9 (2)The notice must— (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; (b)inform the keeper that the driver is required to pay parking charges in respect of the specified period of parking and that the parking charges have not been paid in full; The PCN does not specify the parking period. AS you rightly say the ANPR times do not include driving to the parking space and then from there back to the exit. And once you include getting children in and out of cars especially if seat belts are involved the time spent parked can be a fair bit less than the ANPR times but still probably nowhere near the time you spent. But that doesn't matter -it's the fact that they failed to comply. Also they failed to ask the keeper to pay the charge.  Their failure means that they cannot now transfer the charge from the diver to the keeper . Only the driver is now liable. As long as UKPA do not know who was driving it will be difficult for them to win in Court as the Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person. Particularly as anyone can drive any car if they have the correct insurance. It might be able to get more reasons to contest the PCN if you could get some photos of the signs. both at the entrance and inside the car park. the photos need to be legible and if there are signs that say different things from others that would also be a help.
    • Farage rails and whines about not being allowed on the BBC ... ... but pulls out at the last minute of a BBC Panorama interview special. It was denied it was anything to do with his candidates being outed as misogynists and Putin apologists, or that farage was afraid Nick Robinson might throw some difficult questions at him ... despite farages recent practice at quickly cowering in fear.   It was claimed 'it wasn't in Nigels diary'     Nigel Farage pulls out of BBC interview at last minute amid Hitler row WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK ‘Panorama’ special postponed as Reform UK party faces row over candidate who claimed UK would have been ‘better off’ if it had...   Waaahhhh
    • i'd say put lowells to strict proof of where the payment came from. cant hurt to send SB letter, even if proved not. at least they get your correct address. they'd have to link the old IVA times scale to a payment  these IVA F&F pots (if thats where it came from) most mugs dont even know they are not only taking most of your payments on fees but also creaming money off to supposedly offer F&F's.  funny when the IVA fails or is complete these sums of money in F&F pots never get given back or even mentions... these IVA firm directors esp with regard to knightsbridge and creditfix were fined and struck off more times than Paul Burdell of Link Fame and still managed to continue to scam people.

    • 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.

recieved a letter disputing the claim, then on the same day, paid in full (£5000) plus over a £1000 compensation etc. this is what prompted me into me issuing my cc claim.

hi all,

 

sorry that ive been so long in keeping things up to date on this thread,

 

xxth november i recieved a letter from the court stating that (the woolwich) barclays bank dispute the full amount and are contesting the claim. i was expecting this (as in a lot of cases). still another few weeks to go.

 

17th november, i recieved a letter this morning from barclays, excitement!!!!!!! was this a letter stating that all my bank charges have been rightfully returned???? NO.

IT IS A TERMINATION NOTICE TO CLOSE BY BANK ACCOUNT DOWN WITHIN 14 DAYS FROM THE DATE ON THE LETTER(16TH NOVEMBER).

THE LETTER STATES THAT I CAN NO LONGER USE MY CARD ETC AND TO RETURN IT STRAIGHT AWAY. DAILY INTEREST AND CHARGES WILL CONTINUE TO ACCRUE AT THE RATE OF 27.5% AGAINST THE BALLANCE IN EXCESS

OF AGREED OVERDRAFT LIMIT, AND 15.6%AGAINST THE BALANCE . INTEREST IS CALCULATED ON A DAILY BASIS. ALSO YOU ARE REMINDED THAT THERE IS ALSO A CHARGE OF £3.00 LEVIED FOR EACH DAY YOUR ACCOUNT HAS AN UNAUTHORISED OVERDRAFT BALANCE.

 

THE OVERDRAFT IS ON MY ACCOUNT DUE TO THE BANK CHARGES ACCRUED IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS, WHICH WAS £99.00 AND HAS NOW ESCALATED TO £399.84.

 

SHOULD I PHONE THEM??????? AS THE LETTER IS FROM THE WOOLWICH , AND IM SURE THAT THEY DONT KNOW ABOUT THE COUNTY COURT PROCEEDINGS??. WHATS THE BEST OBJECTIVE TO TAKE ????

THANKS DICKY6.

WHAT! Firstly this is the first time I've heard of this, secondly they need to give you 30 days under the Banking code and thirdly, as you rightly point out, they can action none of this whilst your claim is in dispute. I think I saw an ideal letter for this the other day - i'll see if I can find.

 

Don't worry - they won't get away with this - it could be that the Woolwich and Barclays still don't know whose doing what.

back again,

took your advice thailand and (i phoned rather than send a letter),and spoke to the sender of the letter i recieved about my account being closed,

( mr akib ahmed.) i put forward to him a weekly payment plan, and the amount was reduced by £52.11, straight away, so a result in there, and the account will stay open .i will of course ask for all charges relating to this to be returned. by the way he had no idea of any court order presented to the woolwich, and there was nothing on my records to state this????????

well back to work, keep you all posted soon,

thanks dicky6.

the wee man fights on!
