    • Your attachment showing the cinema parking restrictions seems crystal clear. Let's see what the photos turn up.
    • Meter certification periods re given in The Meters (Certification) Regulations 1998, Schedule 4. From there you can check if they are correct about your specific meter .. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1998/1566/schedule/4 If they're telling porkies then you have e clear grounds to tell them to take  hike. If they're correct or if you haven't been able to confirm then you have  few options. You could just keep fobbing them off. In general Octopus can't keep up with demand for smart meters. It took 9 months to get our. So they may not push too hard. Or ask if you can install your own choice of meter. The Electricity Act 1989 cover this in Schedule 7 (2) and (2A) https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1989/29/schedule/7 Or fight the them and their enforcement. Or go off supply.
    • We received a copy of the completed Directions Questionnaire (N181) from the solicitors along with a draft copy of their directions. I am on a course today so can upload over the weekend if needed. By 4pm on 16th May both parties must each give standard disclosure of documents by way of list by category. By 4pm on 30th May any request for inspection or copies of docs must be made and compiled 14 days thereafter. I will provide more over the weekend.
    • Have you asked for advice from your students union people? HB
    • I (and other respondents) always advise “not getting caught in a lie” it hardens their response. Why would they now believe protestations of remorse and “I won’t do it again” if they've already seen you'd lie and say it was a one-off when it wasn't..  You can try approaching the prosecutor on the day, but "I wouldn't hold my breath" …..

    • 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.

Hello,

I recently received a letter from Drydensfairfax Solicitors on behalf of Arrow Global asking for payment re my MBNA account and saying they'll take me to court and listed my defaulting on an agreed monthly repayment ( £1).

 

I wrote back explaining my reason for defaulting was due to confusion over the amount of debt agency changeovers.

 

they asked for me to fill an expenditure form, which I did & offered to restart the previous repayment ie £1.

 

As I was setting up the standing order I noted that their Bank Acct No. is 00000000. Is this right?

 

Also,

as I'm on to you,

I wondered if there was anyway I could get rid of them.

 

 

On my credit report it is showing as 'settled' and green.

Thanks very much.

Oh, thought I might be.

I'm hoping obviously to hold anything off for the 6 years,

I'm not sure how long it is since I last paid anyone for this account, a couple of years?

 

 

What I'm worried about is if they blackmark my credit report as I'd like to move & thought I might as well pay the £1 month but, even so I don't want to be paying anything to anyone like these sort of people.

 

This account was being passed from debt agency to debt agency

I lost track as they'd move it on before I'd even reset the standing order

- not that I was in a rush, of course ;)

Then, last month or so I got a letter as I said above and we were today poised to set up the standing order but, have niggling doubts.

Is there anything else I can supply you with?

read the letter PROPERLY

it doesn't say WILL anything

 

rather than blindly paying no powers DCA's

or their fake/tame paperwork solicitor

they ARE NOT BAILIFFS

 

send them a CCA request

for each debt!!

 

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...

Thank you so much for your help,

I've been tracking down the original letter from Drydens & am just going through it.

 

it begins with saying they are instructed by their client Arrow Global to commence legal proceedings against me if I don't propose repayments.

 

Then there is a list they 'are required by Court rules' of 'certain information prior to issuing proceedings'

 

 

 

I have also found a letter from ARCEurope limited who were acting for Arrow Global confirming a copy of the signed agreement I'd requested dated 24/3/2014.

Will Drydens be aware of this if I request it again?
