    • Well that will lead to more backdoor CCJs. I think you need to complain to all and sundry.  Let's start with the BPA.  The BPA are PE's mates, so they will never decide that PE have done anything wrong.  But that's not the point, correspondence between the two may lead to PE promising to write to the Scottish address, which is all you want.  Check the below for accuracy as methinks you have sent more correspondence that what I've quoted.  How about something like - Dear BPA, Re : Parkingeye Ltd PCN no.XXXXX, Claim no.XXXXX PCN no.XXXXX I am writing to complain about your above-mentioned member. I understand of course that you cannot enter into the merits of why a PCN was issued. The reason for my complaint is that, instead of writing to me at my address at XXXXX, Scotland, your member insists in writing to me at XXXXX, England, which is an address which I have never lived at.  I have always resided at the Scottish address.  The address registered with the DVLA for the vehicle is my Scottish address. I first because aware of this mess when the person who lives at the English address kindly contacted me, to tell me that a County Court Judgement for me had arrived at that address.  I requested that Parking Eye agree to a set aside by consent.  However, they refused.  I ended up paying £XXX despite having had no chance to defend myself. Regardng the second PCN, I attach correspondence dated XX February and XX March.  The latter was a complaint - which your operator has completely ignored.  Even worse, they have instructed debt collecting agencies twice to write to the English address.  On top of this, the person at the English address is moving out next week which means I am in danger a second time of losing a court case by default. I would therefore like to complain about your operator and would request that you instruct them to do what should be a simple thing - to write to me at my correct address. Yours, XXXXX

    • Hello DX -  So an update:  Resolvecall have written to say they have closed the account with them and passed it back to Capquest after receipt of my SB letter. Capquest have written twice, once offering a payment plan and the second letter after receiving my SB letter saying they are looking into my complaint and will respond within 8 weeks.   Absolutely no mention of what the debt is, was or from when or any details still.   Is this a case now of waiting to see what they come back with or is now the moment for me to send another letter via Solicitor please?

    • 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.

So lets take the 'easier documentation route

 

What have the Brexit government, who shouted about all the benefits with no risks, actually done to manage rather than munge the brexit they sold? (apart from 'hostile environment' shipping people who have lived and worked here all their life off to Jamaica)

* Border/customs? - as they shouted so loudly about protecting them

* Standards ec/kite mark ? - as they claimed standards would increase

* trade deals bigger than the EU across the world? - or even English produce able to be picked and shipped across England let alone anywhere else

 

Even that claimed 'billions spent on training' unclebulgaria regurgitates from some populist ministers dishonest and deceiving soundbite:

- where's that then other than on some populist spreadsheet claiming some actually reduced existing/prior 'possible' (as in not against the laws of physics despite nothing real being in place) expenditure, as new ... let alone actually implemented/spent on training

Maybe HB - were they really that incompetent?

- they will no doubt claim 'how could anyone know' despite many others who clearly did know and say, but were they really that incompetent? - and there is no excuse for claims of 'no one could have expected it' now

They managed to set up a fast track lane for approving £millions for pubs landlords, pet and cake shop populist pals to get money for PPE they didn't have pretty damn quick - and they've apparently paid them in advance

Seems odd to let scientists/politicians promoting damaging policies/narratives; let alone in a pandemic; off the hook because they CLAIM they were only doing what they believed in. When what they believed was not evidenced & what they said did untold harm.

taxing working pensioners more to pay for those not working and in care homes aren't they - bet that doesn't include 'pensioners like Prince Charles and Lord hahhaw of France .. (who, last I heard, was leaving France because they wanted details on his earnings) or the many over 65-67's in the lords and parliament let alone MD's

 

.. in addition to Johnsons 2.5% increase in NI .. yep 2.5% NOT the 1.25% Johnson lies about 1.25% from employees and 1.25% from employers - many of whom will undoubtedly consider it a raise for the workers ..

So thats around 12 billion in extra NI charges plus the 25 billion in other taxes - they'll be able to cover their mates bills in just a few years at that rate

- no way the NHS and care system will get more than a tiny bit of it.

and the (literally now - see wild weather)  poopulists think US trade is going to be 'better'

LOL - they should ask the US's more important partners mexico and Canada how that works

 

Mind you. Johnson will get a taste of his own medicine in that the US will happily 'renegotiate' (renege?) any deal as soon as it suits

- although unlike Johnson, they tend to get a better deal at the other parties expense.

It's David and Goliath, isn't it? Fairly obvious who will win, plus a US trade deal can take up to 10 years.

 

Changing the subject, Patel is threatening to send migrant boats back into French waters and have the UK's interpretation of maritime law rewritten so it looks as if it doesn't break international law. Or the Geneva convention.

 

She suggested to Gerald Darmanin of France that they should set up a joint patrol force. I loved his reply that it would infringe French sovereignty. :lol:

Not if one side (the USA) gets everything it wants straight away HB

If Australia can get a deal thats 6x better for Australia than the UK ....

- seemingly without even trying very hard

- I doubt the UK could afford a US deal - even before Johnson bankrupted us

UK now in a spiral of tax increases to cover increased costs.

 

The mixture or Brexit and Covid is deadly.

 

UK after Brexit  wanted to set up as the worlds biggest financial centre with light touch regulation. This won't happen, as the trade deals with US and other countries will not enable this.   The EU Brexit deal did not include financial services from what I remember.

 

Where next for the UK economy ?

Boris 'Inveterate and unapologetic LIAR' Johnson lies:

“We should never forget, after all we’ve been through, that we are the party of free enterprise, the private sector and low taxation.”

 

While the so called party of low taxes is implementing the highest tax load on the nation since world war 2 (IFS)

- despite running away from a quite small war in Afghanistan as they just can't cope on their own - and nobody trusts them enough to work with them

-  mostly because of monstrous waste and mismanagement in the COVID crisis, and monstrous incompetent and neglectful  mismanagement of Brexit

 

The so called party of business and the private sector

is putting UK businesses out of business through populist policies and failures, NOT business capability and competitiveness and failure to manage the Brexit issues the populists themselves generated

 

The so called Party of 'free enterprise'

implements a preference for crony pals (no matter how lacking in requirements) fast lane - hardly free enterprise, just preference for pals - massively at the cost of the NHS - to pay which (their pals) the tax increases are undoubtedly aimed

 

The so called Party of sovereignty

runs whinging to the US and Australia 'please please give us a deal, anything, we wont cheat you like we do the others just give us a deal headline' 

and to France to help police sovereign UK waters ... in a way that breaches international law)...

.. and to the USA or France to host the UK  'sovereign' nuclear deterrent

With more properly regulated businesses moving to the EU, whats left with in the incompetent poopulist run UK may well make the UK and its taxpayers IMMENSELY vulnerable to this sort of thing ...

 

Yes, Brexiters like Redwood, Smugg and dyson have moved a lot of their business to the EU, but its what movers (rats/sinking ships?) leave in the UK we should worry about: are they liferafts .. or lead weights?

Oh and back to the Australia deal Truss/UK poopulist surrender terms ...

 

"Just weeks before the UK hosts what have been described as the most important climate talks ever, it has emerged ministers dropped pledges to bind Australia to climate targets in its efforts to strike a trade deal.

The revelation, coming from a leaked email obtained by Greenpeace, will heap further pressure on Johnson ahead of the Cop26 summit in Glasgow at the end of next month. Greenpeace said the concession “rips the heart out of” the landmark Paris aims, while Labour called it “a massive betrayal of our country and our planet”"

- Independent

 

 

https://www.greenpeace.org.uk/news/uk-secretly-ditches-climate-pledge-in-australia-trade-deal/

 

"In a leaked email seen by Greenpeace UK, three senior ministers, Liz Truss (Secretary of State for International Trade), David Frost (Minister of State for EU Relations) and Kwasi Kwarteng (Secretary of State for Business) are named as agreeing to ditch references to the temperature commitments in the Paris Agreement on climate in order to get the Australian trade deal “over the line”.

This renders using the term Paris Agreement utterly useless."

 

"Just last month the UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, wrote to Greenpeace and other environmental NGOs reaffirming that any trade deal with Australia would, “include a chapter on trade and environment which not only reaffirms commitments to multilateral environmental agreements, including the Paris Agreement but also commits both parties to collaborate on climate and environmental issues. We are clear that more trade will not come at the expense of the environment.”

Details from the leaked email demonstrate that what Boris Johnson wrote in that letter was a lie."

Supermarket Food shortages here for the long term and going to get worse says Food and Drink Federation boss.

 

JIT (just in time) system relied on by many industries for the last 25 years has (as long defined as a cost of brexit, but falsely denied by Brexit cheerleaders) has collapsed mostly due to Brexit generated 'hostile environment' labour shortages including food pickers, lorry drivers and food processing workers and Brexit generated customs delays and costs
