    • The text on the N1SDT Claim Form 1.The claim is for breaching the terms and conditions set on private land. 2. The defendant's vehicle, NumberPlate, was identified in the Leeds Bradford Airport Roadways on the 28/07/2023 in breach of the advertised terms and conditions; namely Stopping in a zone where stopping is prohibited 3.At all material times the Defendant was the registered keeper and/or driver. 4. The terms and conditions upon  entering private land were clearly displayed at the entrance and in prominent locations 5. The sign was the offer and the act of entering private land was the acceptance of the offer hereby entering into a contract by conduct. 6.The signs specifically detail the terms and conditions and the consequences of failure to comply,  namely a parking charge notice will be issued, and the Defendant has failed to settle the outstanding liability. 7.The claimant seeks the recovery of the parking charge notice, contractual costs and interest.   This is what I am thinking of for the wording of my defence The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and are generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 1. Paragraph 1 is denied. It is denied that the Defendant ever entered into a contract to breach any terms and conditions of the stated private land. 2. Paragraph 2 and 4 are denied. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was only contracted to provide car park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. 3. It is admitted that Defendant is the recorded keeper of the vehicle. 4.  Paragraph 6 is denied the claimant has yet to evidence that their contract with the landowner supersedes  Leeds Bradford airport byelaws. Further it is denied that the Claimant’s signage is capable of creating a legally binding contract. 5. Paragraph 7 is denied, there are no contractual costs and interest cannot be accrued on a speculative charge.   I'm not sure whether point 4 is correct as I think this side road is not covered by byelaws? Any other suggestions/corrections would be appreciated.

    • Please provide advice on the following situation: I rented out my property to four students for 16 months until March 2024. Initially, the property was in very good condition, but now it needs extensive renovation. This includes redoing the bathroom, replacing the kitchen, removing wallpaper, and redecorating due to significant mould growth. The tenants also left their furniture on the grass, which is owned by the local authority. As a landlord, I've met all legal requirements. It seems the damage was caused by poor ventilation—windows were always closed, and heating wasn't used. There was also a bathroom leak fixed by reapplying silicone. I tried to claim insurance, but it was denied, citing tenant behaviour as the cause by looking at the photos, which isn't covered. The deposit barely covers the repair costs, or else I'll have to pursue money claims, which I've never done before and am unsure about its legal complications or costs. Any thoughts on this?

    • 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.

Hi all,

 

 

I have been reading a few threads regarding similar cases but nothing exactly the same so I thought I would ask before proceeding further.

 

In October 2013 I joined Xercise4Less Leeds while at University,

I went the gym for a couple of months,

everything paid fine

but after some personal issues,

I had to move back home in Stafford, a good 100+ miles away.

 

I spoke to a staff member and they told me to email the manager of the Leeds branch, which I did, explaining my situation and offered to pay any necessary cancellation fees, to which l heard nothing back (no shocks there!) despite sending three emails, because of this, I duly cancelled my DD and thought nothing of it.

 

Last Friday (24th February 2017) at my home address I received a letter stating they had tried contacting me previously and I owe £253! Along with the usual court threats others have had.

 

As this was so long ago, I have no proof of my emails as my old email address is now not in use and I do not have any utility bills from that far back proving I had to move.

Any advice on how I should proceed?

 

Cheers, James

Whilst ignoring their puerile rantings to pay money you don't owe, get onto X4Less social media sites, and embarrass them on there to there ''customers'' and any potential customers.

 

The treatment of it's customers is truly questionable, so use their own complaints process, and when they ignore you you can escalate it to the CMA and TS, TS are already looking into X4L and their treatment of customers, so the more complaints the better.

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!

Hi JS and welcome to CAG

 

Ignoring Harlands/CRS may well be the best idea in a while but I think you should challenge X4Less first. I'm also anxious that you confirm your current address the gym and Harlands/CRS to avoid them using an old address for litigation.

 

I suggest you write to X4Less Head Office saying :-

 

Xercise4Less Head Office

Unit 1

Kirkstall Industrial Estate

Leeds

West Yorks

LS4 2AZ

 

Dear sir or madam,

 

Membership at Leeds gym in 2013

 

Please note my current address is - xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

 

I joined the gym in October 2013 while at University but, due to personal circumstances, I had to move over 100 miles away. I told gym staff about this and they told me to email the gym manager who would tell me if I had to pay any cancellation fees.

 

In total I sent 3 emails but had no reply so I cancelled the DD mandate and heard no more.

 

Now I am getting demands from Harlands/CRS seeking payment of over £250. I have seen online just how many of your customers are being harassed by Harlands and will not allow them to harass me in this way well over 3 years after your own gym manager failed to respond to me at all.

 

I require that you tell Harlands/CRS to stop demands immediately, failing which I will make formal complaints about their actions which I assume are sanctioned by Xercise4Less.

 

I will also use your Social Media to make sure people know how you allow Harlands/CRS to harass your customers.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Send this to X4Less using RM Signed For delivery and see how they reply. Ignore all contact from Harlands/CRS in the meantime.

 

:-)

Hi Slick and Bazooka,

Thank you to all three of you for being so helpful.

 

I will definitely send the letter as instructed as well as using my Facebook and Twitter to really show them up.

 

I honestly couldn't believe what I was reading when I opened the letter, the fact that they have written to my home address rather than my previous Leeds address, obviously indicates to me that they must know of a change of address somewhere.

 

I can't believe they think they can get away with treating customers like this, I wonder how many thousands they've gained from preying on people who are a bit weaker minded and pay immediately!

Will keep you updated with their reply.

You'll know when you've hit a nerve, they'll block you from their accounts......use social media to it's fullest, when they block you, escalate the complaint to their head office and CEO.

Hi all,

 

Not sure if you remember me and my enquiry as there are so many!

I did exactly as instructed above, gave them a verbal battering on social media and received a half-hearted apology and to contact Xercise4Less directly. I've heard nothing since...up until this morning via email! Please see below;

 

"Hello James

 

Your file has recently been returned to us by our external agents.

 

According to our records, you still have an outstanding balance of £252.4, in connection with Xercise4Less Leeds.

 

Please call us today on 01444 449165 between 08:30am and 6:00pm to discuss repayment of your balance. A payment plan can be set up if you're unable to pay the balance in one go.

 

Your reference number is ******.

 

If you would prefer us to call you, please confirm a suitable telephone number to reach you on.

 

Many thanks,

 

Rob Avery

CRS Collections Manager"

 

I have not yet replied to them and will be more than willing to ignore this, just thought I'd ask on here just in case there is something further I can do?

 

Thanks guys.

Ha ha CRS, gotta love them, mark it as junk, and ignore.

 

Get back onto X4L head office and demand they explain why they are allowing you to be harassed by their third party DCA.

Hi JS,

 

Definately go back to X4L Head Office and use social media to complain that they're allowing Harlands/CRS to continue to harass you.

 

Also, when they made their "half-hearted apology", did they say they'd tell Harlands/CRS to stop contacting you ?
