    • 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.

Afternoon everyone,

 

Is there a section on this site that deals with Junk mail?

 

My problem is that a National company is sending addressed mail to my address it is always addressed to the householder or occupier and is franked and not part of a mail shot to other addresses. so falls outside the data protection act as its not a named person.

 

I have been in correspondence with the company and they say they cant stop it. But they send it so its not a case of cant its a case of wont. Is anyone aware of any legislation I can use to stop them?

Actually it is relevant, as you can find out if it is a masked mass marketing campaign, targeted campaign, or theyre deliberately harassing you.

 

Companies like this need to be named, shamed and reported. Not hidden away. Also who cares if they monitor this site. They wont know who you are, and they certaily cant bring the forum into disrepute if theyre sending junk mail addressed to the occupier. That shows its a base part of their business practice.

Yes and spoken to them. They cant help just gave me the company address to write to which was the address I had already been using to contact them. They TPS were surprised that the company had wrote on two occasions to me since Christmas saying they could not stop the mail. but told me there code is not law and told me they could not help.

They can be stopped as theyve flatly refused to do it twice now. The perso who advised you from TPS doesnt have a clue.

Virgin media keeps on sending me tons of junk mail despite writing to them a lot of times and telling them to completely erase my name and address from their database.

They ignored me completely.

Shame they don't send a return franked envelope anymore.

I used to send them lots of rubble in cardboard boxes with the prepay envelope stuck on it.

All junk mail to this house gets marked 'not known at this address, return to sender' and put back in the post. I do it even if it's only addressed to the householder. My very elderly dad saves it up and spends a happy afternoon swapping the contents before sending it all back.

It used to here but I don't stop them sending it.

 

All the companies I have returned it to in the last 3-4 years and enclosed a letter asking to be removed from there mailing list have done so without just this one exception. Who think they can continue to send it, waste my time with poor excuses as to why they cant stop it, and they think I will go away. well they are wrong my time is as valuable as there's and they will be paying for it if I can find the correct laws and get them in court I just need help to find it.

Harrison vs link is to do with continued harassment off a 'creditor' or other entity. You have told them straight, multiple times to take your information off their database. By your info, they have REFUSED to do so. Thats why i mentioned the case. Its pretty clear cut.

Thanks or sending the link again sorry I still cant open it but I assume it is the same case as CitizenB has sent me on the following link: http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Mercantile/2011/B3.html I have read it twice now if it is and don't understand the link except point 83 which mentions phone calls. I am sure there was another case 3-4 years ago where someone took action over nuisance phone calls and clamed compensation for dealing with them which may also be relevant.

Thanks Ford, that's the one.

 

It is similar to the junk mail issue but as it did not go to court don't think it will get me far. I am a little surprised there are not more on here complaining about junk mail and that I cant find a way of stopping it from this company. I cant be the only one having this problem or is it just that I am over sensitive to it and I should throw them in the bin and walk away?

Virgin says readers should email their full name and address (including the postcode) to [email protected]. This is processed within “a couple of days”; however, you may receive letters for up to a further six weeks due to the way it processes its data for the next month’s mailings.
