    • Seems as if Germany has their own version of Boris🤣   ”I know that some of you are impatient with my posts about German politics, and particularly my repeated pieces on our retarded Health Minister. I get that this can seem like inside baseball, and that all of you suffer under the very similar idiocies of your own Covid politicians. But, I just can’t help myself. Lauterbach is a special case, a truly monumental idiot who in his boundless incompetence and stupidity vastly exceeds his peers. It is my aim to make him the international symbol of pandemic derangement. I want pictures of this human incarnation of everything that is wrong with masking children and force-vaccinating millions printed next to future dictionary entries on Covidianism.

    • 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

 

- My son opened an account with a gym in Bournemouth but has since relocated to China

- I believe a years membership was owed which was £72.

 

As no one ever received any letters from the gym (as he had moved)

they passed it to a Collection agency (CRS)

 

who have traced his home address (Im his Father)

 

so we have now received 2 letters demanding £172

 

I am ok paying the £72 but CRS have added £102 fees

- do you think this is excessive and / or enforecable?.

 

Of course it was my sons fault for not sorting it out when he relocated

- but as he didnt no one knew of the original debt

- so it seems a bit much to also pay the £102 fees.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

ignore them

 

no DCA has any legal powers to add anything to any debt.

 

they ARE NOT BAILIFFS!!!

 

did he inform the gym he was leaving them?

 

dx

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Hi SteveB and welcome to CAG

 

When YS left the country, did he contact the gym or their admin company to confirm this ?

 

In writing, in person or by phone ?

 

Depending on your answer, he may not have to pay the balance of the year's fees.

 

Don't be fooled by CRS. They make it all look proper and scary but they have no authority and this is highly unlikely to affect YS's CRA records.
