    • Danny - point taken about the blue paragraphs.  Including them doesn't harm your case in any way.  It makes no odds.  It's just that over the years we've had judges often remarking on how concise & clear Caggers' WSs have been compared to the Encyclopaedia Britannica-length rubbish that the PPCs send, so I always have a slight preference to cut out anything necessary. Don't send off the WS straight away .. you have plenty of time ... and let's just say that LFI is the Contract King so give him a couple of days to look through it with a fine-tooth comb.
    • Do you have broadband at home? A permanent move to e.g. Sky Glass may not fit with your desire to keep your digibox,, but can you move the items you most want off the digibox? If so, Sky Glass might suit you. You might ask Sky to loan you a “puck” and provide access as an interim measure. another option might be using Sky Go, at least short term, to give you access to some of the Sky programming while awaiting the dish being sorted.
    • £85PCM to sky, what!! why are you paying so much, what did you watch on sky thats not on freeview?  
    • Between yourself and Dave you have produced a very good WS. However if you were to do a harder hitting WS it may be that VCS would be more likely to cancel prior to a hearing. The Contract . VCS [Jake Burgess?] are trying to conflate parking in a car park to driving along a road in order to defend the indefensible. It is well known that "NO Stopping " cannot form a contract as it is prohibitory. VCS know that well as they lose time and again in Court when claiming it is contractual. By mixing up parking with driving they hope to deflect from the fact trying to claim that No Stopping is contractual is tantamount to perjury. No wonder mr Burgess doesn't want to appear in Court. Conflation also disguises the fact that while parking in a car park for a period of time can be interpreted as the acceptance of the contract that is not the case while driving down a road. The Defendant was going to the airport so it is ludicrous to suggest that driving by a No Stopping  sign is tacitly accepting  the  contract -especially as no contract is even being offered. And even if a motorist did not wish to be bound by the so called contract what could they do? Forfeit their flight and still have to stop their car to turn around? Put like that the whole scenario posed by Mr Burgess that the Defendant accepted the contract by driving past the sign is absolutely absurd and indefensible. I certainly would not want to appear in Court defending that statement either. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will do the contract itself later.
    • Yes - ignore. Because of another MET victim today I looked at all our MET cases back to June 2014 ... yes, 10 years. They have never dared take a motorist to court and argue their case before a judge.  They have started the odd court case, but as a means of trying to intimidate the motorist into coughing up, when the motorist defended and refused to give in it was MET who bottled it and discontinued.

    • 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.

Good evening all,

 

I am in a sticky situation, I received an invitation letter to go to the National Speed Awareness Scheme to write off my speeding offence, I was doing 58mph on a 50mph zone.

 

My current situation:

I've been financially struggling due to getting married in July abroad and money is something I've been struggling with but I'm getting by and putting things into place.

 

I received the letter for the course on 7th January 2019 with every intention of attending the course, but I completely misread the situation,

 

when I went online to drivetech to have a look at the course and how much it would cost it mentioned that it has to be booked within 4 months,

I thought I'll strengthen my financial standing and book it at the end of month when I get some more money coming in.

 

I went online today to book the course , and my details were not found on the drivetech record!

 

I referred back to the letter, and it told me that it needs to be booked and paid within 21 days, but complete the course within 4 months!

I had completely misunderstood that, and this is a genuine mistake I have every intention of attending the course,

 

I'm extremely worried as attending court is the last thing I need on my plate,

can anyone give me any advice I am ready to take the course, and book it at the earliest opportunity,

I never meant to dodge the letter it was a misunderstanding from my part.

 

Can anyone please shed some light because I can't get this off my mind at the moment I've never had a criminal record, points or a speeding notice before and because of my mistake I am now worried that I will have to attend course!

 

Any advise would be greatly appreciated

So there is chance that I can have it extended, no way am I trying to neglect this I completely misunderstood the time frame for booking and decided to wait till the end of the month to gather more funds so it keeps me going as my bank account at the moment has taken a hit due to wedding planning.

 

It's been a week from today, that I was meant to book it so I'm hoping London Met Police are able to understand my situation.

Best way is to ring them, explain it was geuinly missed, and youre not trying to evade it as thats why youre calling. They wont accept the excuse of no funds due to a wedding, as the course should have been the priority.

Thank you for your reponse! I genuinely had a misunderstanding, I know the wedding expenses is no excuse but I had no intention of avoiding it but due to my misunderstanding of the letter I genuinely thought I'd save up a bit of extra money and book it end of the month, had I realised it was 21 days I would have borrowed some money!

I will definitely keep that in mind! It wouldn't make sense for me to dodge a course only to given £100 fine and 3 points!

 

I hope they do have some sympathy and understand this was a genuine mistake from my side

Good morning folks,

 

Some great news received today, after a restless night and waking in the middle of the night, I spoke to a lovely lady who listened to me and put me back on the register, I have now officially booked my course for 7th February, great to know that they are understanding and give people a second chance!

 

If anyone has experienced a similar issue, my advice is to give them a call and explain it to them they are helpful and will do the best for you :D
