      Perfect, thanks Dave.   You're right, a whole dodo storm this has been. As sons of first-generation immigrant parents, whenever something like this happens the old man panics. There was a whole "appeal this now" because my dad paid for the parking as he was with the hirer at the time and he isn't as tech-savvy as my brother so he ended up doing what he did and because I don't live there anymore it came all the way down to this.  But yes, we'll do this SAR and see what comes of it.  Will keep posting here with the hopes that it may benefit someone in the future.  Thanks again, everyone.

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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 had seen an ad from a friend for a gym near me and they were offering a free trail period, I had decided to sign up.

 

Inputting my card details, but due to me being 16 and not having any sort of constant income I decided against staying with the gym and cancelled the direct debit.

 

Then I recieved an email saying I was still required to pay £27.99, however at the time my bank account had been closed so I was unable to pay anything.

 

Then they had incurred a late fee of £20,

I had called to ask why I had to pay for the initial fee and the late fee even though I've never been to the gym itself.

 

My bank account had been through a lot and had closed quite recently and I haven't been able to open up a new one until recently,

 

they've now sent a message saying that a new company has been employed to deal with the debt, which now totals to £116.49. And I highly doubt I'll be able to pay this.

 

Would anyone be able to help me with this please.

They never do court, and if they did would not be happy when tolchocked by court for suing someone under 18, which is a no no.

 

So safe to ignore as DX suggests.

We could do with some help from you.

Hi Watfield and welcome to CAG

 

Harlands were the company dealing with the initial DD and CRS are the "new" company involved ........

 

.......... except that Harlands and CRS are the same outfit, pretending to be different companies so you think the matter is getting more serious. But it's not !!

 

1. Did you sign up in the gym or outside of it, like online at home, or in a shopping centre.

 

2. Did you give your real date of birth when signing up, or one to make you appear to be 18+.

 

Ignore all contact, calls, emails, text msgs for now - you have no need to do what they want and they can do nothing about you ignoring them.

 

:-)

first thing to do is stop worrying about it, the letters are commonly called threatograms here as the dca has no interest in the matter and can do nothing other than threaten that their client may do so and so if you dotn send them a wad of cash.

Dca's arent bailiffs, they have no authority to visit you,cant seize goods and most of them dont hold a consumer credit licence so cant legally take money from you on behalf of the creditor

Hi Watfield,

 

If you signed up away from the gym, you had 14 days to cancel. Did you cancel within this time ?

 

If you were under 18 when joining, they cannot enforce any gym agreement with you as you were a minor.

 

You should completely ignore all demands for payments just now but keep us informed so we can suggest the right time to tell Harlands/CRS to back off !!

Block the number and avoid all communication with Harlands/CRS/Zinc in future (whether it be written, email, text or phone call). It's not urgent - they're just trying to scare you into paying money that you do not owe. They have no legal grounds, especially since you're a minor.

Hi Watfield,

 

No matter what Harlands/CRS say or threaten, you should not respond to them at all - not by phone, email or letter.

 

There's nothing they can do so just continue to ignore them.

 

Keep us updated ...............
