    • So as I stated, I posted my letter off but over 2 weeks later I've had a visit from one of their reps. I didn't indulge him in any conversation, and I just stated that any such debts are statute-barred and closed the door on him. I was hoping they'd take notice of the letter. Where do I go from here? Thanks
    • I apologise if I was being unclear. Where it currently stands is that they will have it repair, placing scaffolding in our garden for 5 days. They have moved fast, but we will still have to postpone our contractors, meaning, we won't necessarily have the work done in time for the wedding and therefore will incur additional expenses for either a marquee or a wedding venue. They are vehemently against having any kind of liability in any regard but continue repeating that they are legally entitled to use our garden for their repairs (I believe this is true unless the work can be carried out using a cherry picker). The neighbour seems either indifferent or oblivious to the fact they can't reach all of the side of the roof from the space where they can place the scaffolding. They have asked their roofer of choice about using a cherry picker but the roofer has said it wasn't possible. It's not clear whether the roofer doesn't want to use a cherry picker or whether there is an issue with it. They have told us it is a problem that we are installing a gazebo as it will prevent them to access their roof from our garden in the future?!?  
    • Couldn't agree more, really wanted a true ruling on this just for the knowledge but pretty sure the Judge made some decisions today that he didn't need to?.. maybe they all go this way on the day? We hear back so few post court dates I'm not sure. Each Judge has some level of discretion. Their sol was another Junior not even working at their Firm, so couldn't speak directly for them! that was fortunate I think because if she would have rejected in court better, she might have  been able to force ruling, we are at that point!, everybody there!!, Judge basically said openly that he can see everything for Judgement!!!  but she just said "I can speak to the claimant and find out!" - creating the opportunity for me to accept. I really think the Judge did me a favor today by saying it without saying it. Knowing the rep for the sol couldn't really speak to the idea in the moment. Been to court twice in a fortnight, on both occasions heard 4 times with others and both of my claims, the clerk mention to one or both parties "Letting the Judge know if you want to have a quick chat with each other"! So, it appears there's an expectation of the court that there is one last attempt at settling before going through the door. So, not a Sol tactic, just Court process!. Judge was not happy we hadn't tried to settle outside! We couldn't because she went to the loo and the Judge called us in 10 minutes early! - another reason to stand down to allow that conv to happen. Stars aligned there for me I think. But yeh, if the sol themselves, or someone who can make decisions on the case were in court, I would have received a Judgement against today I think. She was an 'advocate'.. if I recall her intro to me correctly.. So verbal arguments can throw spanners in Court because Plinks dogs outsource their work and send a Junior advocate.

    • 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.

  • 4 weeks later...

And it goes on…

 

last week I received a letter from A company called Elms Legal.   I’m not sure if this is an independent debit recovery company.  Or it’s Excel Parking Services also trading alongside this company putting pressure on me. 
 

Either way I think this will end up CC.

 

I’ve written to my MP, my local council feel like I’m waiting like a sitting duck.

I guess thats true..
 

I received another letter yesterday from Elms Legal, however I’m not brave enough to open it yet, due to my health etc etc

 

It will be looked at after the weekend when I can seek well-being support.  
 

I have no idea what the time scale will be before the CC papers turn up on my doorstep.

Can't hurt you.

You really shouldn't be frightened at all 

 

If you go read a good few 10's of vcs or excel threads here, you'd not have this worry 

 

CAG is predominantly self help.......

Elms may have written to you about your letter to them. It is nothing to worry about. Elms are acting on behalf of Excel who combined  have the brains of a budgerigar.  They cannot transfer the alleged debt  from the driver to you the keeper because they sent it too late. 

 

As you were not the driver, you paid when you didn't have to  and Excel are incapable of maintaining proper records they shouldn't really be taking you to Court.

 

Soon you should receive their Witness Statement from them so please post it up and we'll see if we can blow them out of the water. Can you put your camera a bit closer to the document as I could not read much of your PCN that you posted even after increasing the magnification.

 

By the way, your friends who did your appeal did a good job by not revealing the name of the drive so there is all to play for. It should be an easy win for you. .

Hi Peeps,  So i have opened the letter today from Elms I have until 28/2/22  to pay.  As i expected!

 

The letter states that legal proceedings will start from this date if i do not pay.  It also gives me an option to pay installments. I have tried to convert the letter to upload to the system.  However i can not work how to do this on my iphone.  Even with the instructions & explanation kindly supplied.

If you lose its about £257 ish. Its small claims they cant just add what they like, 

 

If if if they ever go that far and you mess up.

 

We dont often lose against simple simon and your is not an airport byelaws case, where most of those loses have happened,

 

yours is a simple wrong reg issue which the govt guidelines published today on speculative invoices make it not a very serious issue that should be resolved without court and never should have been issued in the 1st place

 

There are no wrong reg court cases here to date to my knowledge.

 

Dx

They're saying I put in the wrong Reg, I dispute that.  

In my research I have found a local person on FB said she had issue with the machine. 


Dx I constantly mess things up for myself.

 If only you knew!

You could write a film about my life… lol.  

 

Reason why I’m so worried about going to CC
I can’t even afford to put my heating on in my house so £257 is a massive deal to me 😞

It pays for treatment that I can get on the national health

Right, so we need to make sure you win a court case then (if it does go to court).

 

In your appeal you were clever enough to not let on who the driver was, and you know VCS have totally messed up with keeper liability.

 

So, for the nth time, we need to know if you kept this advantage - what did you write to VCS in response to their Letter of Claim?

We could do with some help from you.
