    • Hi, I have the Sims 4 on Macbook. Over the last year I have paid for multiple add on packs spending a lot of money on them. I bought them all in good faith as my Mac met all the minimum requirements to play them. I have been playing happily for about a year and bought my latest pack just over a week ago. The games were all working fine yesterday. Then suddenly today EA released a new app to launch the games and this new app requires a MAC OS that my computer cannot use. Now suddenly none of my games are accessible and I am unable to play anything. They did not warn us about this change in requirements and if I had known they would be doing this I wouldn't have bought all these add ons as they are now all totally unusable. The games themselves have not changed, only their app to launch them and I can't afford to buy a brand new mac just to play. So my question is how can they change the minimum requirements after I have paid for a game? I agreed to pay for them based on the fact my mac met their requirements and was not informed when purchasing that this would be an issue in the future. I understand new games (like Sims 5 which is to be released next year) might not be compatible but this is a 10yr old game that they have suddenly made inaccessible due to their new launch app. Does anybody know if I can do anything or anyway to get a partial refund from them? Thanks   Here are their T&C... I can't find anything in there about them being able to do this so not sure what to do https://tos.ea.com/legalapp/WEBTERMS/US/en/PC/
    • OK. Thank you all for the input.  I'll ignore their letters of demand but NEVER ignore a letter of claim. I'm bracing myself for the stress as their demands £££ goes up and the case gets sent to debt collectors. 
    • OK.  It was worth a try. Their case is still pants and they have broken their own Code of Practice numerous times.
    • @BankFodder sorry for the delay and thank you for the lengthy reply. Yes, I agree. It's a small business and the guy is very very decent. I know someone else said my priority shouldn't be worrying whether he gets shafted but I'm not here to try and screw him over because I feel like if someone behaves decently and gets exploited, they might not behave so kindly in the future. I know DX mentioned he thinks I've caused the issue by leaving multiple instructions, but I have already explained why and both instructions were to leave it with a neighbour and there was nothing advising the driver to abandon the parcel on my doorstep. I don't think leaving it there could be considered a safe place.  I am still waiting on the retailer to respond. Ultimately, I wanted to know how he would proceed if DPD's response isn't favourable. I am certainly not looking to cause any problems. I just want my laptop. I will read the other posts for sure. I've been a bit preoccupied with family stuff. I have nothing in writing from DPD as I phoned them, but they did advise it should be the retailer that liaises with them. I tried contacting the driver straight after deliver via Whatsapp, as that's an option, but it said I couldn't send him a message and I have kept that log. We all know who took the parcel on our street, because that person has a history of parcel theft, but I don't have a doorbell camera or cctv. Police are refusing to intervene, despite the fact that I, along with several other people, spotted another's neighbour's parcel in said "suspect's" car and confronted her to get the parcel back. If the police had acted sooner, I might have had a better chance of getting the parcel back, but I suspect the laptop has long been sold on.  When the retailer responds, I will send him the link to this thread. Hopefully, he will benefit from the information on here as well.
    • @dx100uk none of the instructions advised them to leave the parcel on my door step and without such instructions., I'm struggling to see why they think it's ok to just dump it there.

    • 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 have you written to Parking Eye to say you will pay if they consent to set aside?

OK.  Well done.

Therefore you now have to decide between two unpalatable choices.

1.  Do nothing.  PE will not try to enforce judgement over a single ticket.  You get away with not paying.  However, your credit file is knackered for six years.

2.  Fork out £275 and apply to the court for set aside.  dx has explained what you would need to convince the court of:

On 07/07/2022 at 12:20, dx100uk said:

Just to clarify a set aside.

You need to meet 2 criteria.

1. A valid reason why you did not receive the original claimform, i'e the claimant failed to undertake due diligence in the letter of claim stage to ascertain your correct address. Etc etc.. Typically this is always given.

2. A valid defence upon why you do not owe the sum claimed..this is the part that is at present a doubt.

If either are not met your £275 set aside fee is wasted and you'll still have a ccj for 6yrs.

So when deciding ask yourself if realistically you can satisfy the court on both points.

You could start by telling us the circumstances you got the ticket in.

Hi all, I called Northants, they said to get copy of the judgement ccj and the address and particulars of claim from the claimform would cost me £22. The lady at Northants has said she can copy the info and type it out in an email,

She is doing this now. 

Once I have this info what am I doing with it?

You will have a very hard time and waste £275 if you tried to set aside.

 

I think ftmdaves last post sums things up nicely

Why wouldn't I?

I had absolutely no idea I had been sent anything from PE.

Because you purposefully did not tell them you had moved, and still believed this was the right thing, not letting them know your new address even when trying to negotiate payment.

Got a letter from dcbl (removed - dx)

 

"NOTICE OF INTENDED ENFORCEMENT ACTION"

 

I do understand that they have zero powers, it's under the £600 limit and also I am not in any kind of contract with them, should I just rip this letter up and shoo them away. 

No way am I paying the £157 now they have given me  a CCJ.. They played their cards and screwed me over.

 

It even says at the bottom (in small print of course) "this case is not subject to high court or bailiff action, however should you fail to contact us our client may instruct enforcement action against you"

 

Can I tell them to (removed - dx)  or what?

Just ignore them.  It's a scare tactic.

Can i send them a letter instructing them that if I receive one more harassment letter I will take them to court? Because each letter I receive it causes a lot of stress, of course.  

 

"For every letter you send to me from this date on, you will be liable to pay me the sum of £1000 for each letter"

On what basis shouldn't they write to you?  You broke the T&Cs in the car park (presumably, you won't actually tell us what happened that day).  You didn't defend their claim when you had the chance to do so due to not updating your logbook with the DVLA which is a legal requirement.  They have a CCJ issued by a court.  You have defied the court and won't pay when ordered to do so.

 

Despite all that fortunately there is little they can really do so ignore them.  .

nope.

why do you think that?

 

not par chance been reading Freeman Of The Land websites have we?

cause that's where most of this rubbish comes from.....

 

that would also explain why you thought it important not to disclose your new address whilst trying to resolve this issue...

LOL are you are a conspiracy theorist?

I am a conspiracy fascist myself, but now you are really  are coming up with the twaddle. 

You assume I did not want to disclose my address on purpose... where do you get this twaddle from?

You are making a statement here, where have you got this info? Are you making it up in your head. 

Yes you have been helpful here and there through this thread, and I appreciate your help, but I also must point out when I see someone getting a little lost in their head making stories up.. stop doing this. You are welcome.

A few of you may know I got a back door ccj for a parking ticket, moved house and I was not notified of ccj but suppose I did not notify these people also. Was all a bit confusing.

 

Someone on here said I may still be able to remove this? And not by paying a court £280 to hope it is removed.

 

Am I right in thinking this is possible by any other means?
