    • Thank-you dx, What you have written is certainly helpful to my understanding. The only thing I would say, what I found to be most worrying and led me to start this discussion is, I believe the judge did not merely admonish the defendant in the case in question, but used that point to dismiss the case in the claimants favour. To me, and I don't have your experience or knowledge, that is somewhat troubling. Again, the caveat being that we don't know exactly what went on but I think we can infer the reason for the judgement. Thank-you for your feedback. EDIT: I guess that the case I refer to is only one case and it may never happen again and the strategy not to appeal is still the best strategy even in this event, but I really did find the outcome of that case, not only extremely annoying but also worrying. Let's hope other judges are not quite so narrow minded and don't get fixated on one particular issue as FTMDave alluded to.

    • the claimant in their WS can refer to whatever previous CC judgements they like, as we do in our WS's, but CC judgements do not set a legal precedence. however, they do often refer to judgements like Bevis, those cases do created a precedence as they were court of appeal rulings. as for if the defendant, prior to the raising of a claim, dobbed themselves in as the driver in writing during any appeal to the PPC, i don't think we've seen one case whereby the claimant referred to such in their WS.. ?? but they certainly typically include said appeal letters in their exhibits. i certainly dont think it's a good idea to 'remind' them of such at the defence stage, even if the defendant did admit such in a written appeal. i would further go as far to say, that could be even more damaging to the whole case than a judge admonishing a defendant for not appealing to the PPC in the 1st place. it sort of blows the defendant out the water before the judge reads anything else. dx

    • 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 have received a claim as well, and I asked for the proof and they has sent me photo of a cigarette, the photo is not dated or timed. I categorically did not smoked in room so I know these photos was not taken in the room we stayed in

 

 

What happened to your claims, did they drop the claim as I am now worried about bailiffs etc and how do I prove I did not smoke. It's my word against them.

There will be no bailiffs (unless they took you to court, won, you didn't pay and they paid extra to enforce the judgment..it just wont happen).

 

Its not upto you to prove you didn't smoke, its upto them to prove it, they would need good evidence (not just a photo of a cigarette !). Just ignore these muppets, I cant believe they are still trying this on !?

OK

 

Baliffs are not gonna happen.

 

The process they would have to follow is this.

 

1) Issue a small claims against you

2) WIN (Which they cant)

3) IF they win, you refuse to pay

4) Have to get court HECOs involved. But see 2)

 

 

Until AND BIG IF an N1 claim form arrives, put their nasty letters in the back of a filing cabinet and forget them. Return here to advice.

 

Also it is not a FINE

 

A FINE can only be imposed by the courts or police (As in on the spot fine)

 

Otherwise I could say "I Fine you £50 for worrying about this" and have the same chance as that DCA in actually forcing you to pay me.

Thanks, I am so angry, I told them I don't smoke (ex-smoker) and when I wrote and asked for the evidence, I told them if they had evidence, if was not from my room so either they got the wrong room, date or the evidence was planted. CRS replied and said it was in my room, and they don't plant evidence but they must do as it was not mine.

Don't know if I should write back or just ignore this second letter.

they've never done court

 

its a fleecing exercise.

CRS are not BAILIFFS

they are a DCA

never confuse the two.

 

as much as DCA's would like you too:lol::lol:

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...

I do expect to here from them again soon but again I will do nothing.

Please put an entry on Trip Advisor regarding this con trick, name the Hotel you stayed at and warn any prospective customers

of the fleecing activities they use.

Good man, give them some good old public dissatisfaction, and if you're on twitter, drop them a line on there too!

Why not reply with a simple message

 

Dear sir or madam

 

Thank you for confirming that smoking had been taking place in my room

 

As both myself and my partner are confirmed non-smokers we can assume that the butt found was not cleaned up correctly from previous occupation

 

As we paid for a non-smoking room and you failed to provide this we require a full refund of our room costs

 

Please reply with cheque enclosed

 

Thank you
