      Interesting. Thanks for that London.  That’s what I’m gathering.     iv no doubt they would send me fake documents but would they really dare present fake documents to a court of law?

      Lost items sent through Parcel2Go and EVRi

      By Madmart58 · Posted

      Thank you very much for your letter in regard to the above mentioned shipment.  Due to the high volume of parcels coursing through the courier network each day, undergoing continuous processing and handling, certain packages may experience delays or even can get lost in the course of this journey. Please note that due to the time that has passed, this shipment has been declared as lost.  I have today processed the claim and made offers to the value of £75 as a goodwill gesture without prejudice. I do acknowledge that you have mentioned in your letter that the value was higher, however, you did not take out any protection to that amount. The protection for this shipment was £20 and we will not be increasing our goodwill offer any further.    Please log into your account online in order to accept our offer. Once accepted, our accounts department will process the claim accordingly. The claim payment will be processed and received within 7 working days.                                  In addition, a refund of the carriage fee will be processed as a separate payment and will be received within 3 working days.  If I can further assist, please feel free to contact me.   I have also just noticed that yesterday afternoon they sent me an email stating that "after my request" they have refunded the cost of shipping. I did not request the refund so will mention that in my letter as well.

      IDRWW letter and email received this week

      By Angryman1404 · Posted

      Hi I had to leave Dubai back in 2011, during the financial crisis. And only now have I received a letter from IDRWW. Is this anything to worry about about as I have 2 years left until it’s been 15 years(statute barred in Dubai). Worried as just got a mortgage 2 years ago. Could they force me in to bankruptcy? Red lots of different threads on here. And unsure what true and what isn’t.

      Not that TOR will see this now he's thrown in the hand grenade. Rayner has plenty of female supporters on X, for a start. As for the council and HMRC, fair enough and I thought Rayner was already in touch with them. That's where it should be dealt with, not the police force. @tobyjugg2 Daniel Finkelstein thinks the same as you about tax. The Fiver theory.

      Lowell/Overdales Claimform - old Cap1 Debt

      By London1971 · Posted

      Often with the Likes of Lowells/ Overdales that 'proof' doesn't stand up to scrutiny.   Think about it like a game of poker, they want to intimidate you into folding and giving up as soon as possible, and just get you to pay up and roll over, that is their business model, make you think your cards are rubbish. What they don't expect, and their business isn't set up for it, is for a defendant to find this place and to learn that they have an amazing set of cards to play. Overdales don't have an infinite number of lawyers, paralegals etc, and the time / money to spend on expensive court cases, that they are highly likely to lose, hence how hard they will try to get you to roll over.  Even to the extent of faking documents, which they need to do because the debts that they purchased were so cheap, in the first place. Nevertheless it works in most cases, most people chicken out, when they are so close to winning, and a holding defence is like slowly showing Overdales your first card, and a marker of intention that this could get tricky for them. In fact it may be,  although by no means guaranteed that it won't even go any further than that.  Even if it does, what they send you back will almost certainly have more holes than Swiss Cheese, and if with the help you receive here, you can identify those weaknesses and get the whole thing tossed in the bin.

    • 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 got fed up waiting for Cabot to send me their promised goodwill gesture for my domain name, cabotfinancial.eu, as well as them starting the transfer procedure to move it to their servers. So I have given them until the 7th September to do so, otherwise I will have to sell the name in order to recoup my losses.

 

I've been offered £11 for it. In the unlikely (HOHO) event that Cabot doesn't come through for me by the end of next week, does anybody else want to take it on? Bear in mind that it is likely to come with the threat of litigation against whoever is burdened with it. :D

Dear Seahorse,

 

I believe that a desire to profit from the 'goodwill' of the complainant is the criteria for legal recourse for 'alleged' cybersquatting.

 

I'm not planning to profit from the domain name.

 

However, my motivation is that more people need to be made aware of the activities of companies like Cabot and the legal remedies available to them.

 

With the above in mind, I would be extremely happy for the current content of your blog site to translocate.

 

PM me if you are interested.

 

Best regards,

 

NNN

One assumes you refer to the idea of 'Passing Off' in that one would be profiting from the use of their (alleged :D ) goodwill if they had any.

 

I believe their argument is not quite based upon their being any 'Passing Off' but one of 'Intellectual Rights'. Well, ignoring the fact that there's hardly an intellectual amongst them in the Towers of W.Malling, the very thought that we or anyone would want to 'pass off' as a debt collection agency called Cabot beggars belief in the first instance. No, this was more a matter of shutting Seahorse Up because he has made more noise than they could ever have imagined. www .coveritup.co.uk in fact generates so much traffic these days from amongst their biggy banks customers than I expect their own site does. Hopefully, just like Gerald Ratners misdemoneanours and the effect that had on his business, so too Maynard & Cabot will lose their clients in the same way - same products - cheap tatt!

 

If you can create even higher exposure - wonderful, Searhorse drives a hard bargain - it's up to £11.01p to date :p

Indeed you are correct. If that was the intent when purchasing the domain name. This clearly is not the case.

 

However, as I can no longer use the name due to, in my opinion unfounded, allegations of "passing off", I can see no reason why I should not be allowed to recoup my losses as a result of not being allowed to use the name.

 

Cabot have the opportunity (well, they've had it for a month) to recompense me by way of their promised goodwill gesture. But if they do not, then it appears obvious to me that I must be allowed to dispose of the name as I see fit.

 

And in any case, at the moment, the total profit would be 68 pee. Hardly the sort of profit that would justify the claim of cybersquatting.

 

Unless further posts have increased the offer somewhat. ;)

 

Anyhow... Goodwill? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Well, I've been having a look at the necessary info that I will require in order to take Cabot to court for a breach of the DPA.

 

I am under the impression that in Scotland, any pre-action protocols are voluntary. But as I will be raising the action in Scotland, but Cabot are in England, does anyone know if that is still the case?

i have sent peter bard some new data concerning the DATA PROTECTION ACT so you might find the contract that was signed giving them the authority to pass data isnt worth the paper it was written of as it is illegal due to some acts i have asked peter to research so all contracts with this term to pass your data is not lawful,,regardless it cant be lawful as it flys in the face of your human rights you may also have the opertunity to recind the contract due to this unlawful act

but we will have to wait peters advice

but here is part of it if you wish to discuss it

All covered anyway thanks Patrick. MY application form has a tick box to give consent to share data, and I didn't tick it. The T&C's that Cabot SAY were in effect then, says that Barclaycard will not pass on my data without asking me first. Which they didn't do.

 

So both Barclaycard and Cabot are in the poo. I'll deal with Cabot first, as they will probably be easiest to deal with, and I think a judge will just tell them to destroy my data.

 

Barclaycard though. Hmm. Another thing entirely. They appear to have sold my data illegally. They might have been able to argue that processing my data was lawful, in order to administer my account. But as I have EXPRESSLY denied them permission to share my data, and they also have not asked my permission as per their own T&C's, they seem to have rather more seriously breached the DPA. I think I might need the help of a solicitor with that one, as it's likely to involve some heavy compensation, never mind potential jail time.

re cyberquuatting simply redirect the name to something like

 

 

Welcome to the official web site of the British Monarchy

 

you''ll get a lot of publicity if they pursue the matter !!!

 

 

now did you know this about cabot tower

 

Cabot Tower is St. John's most visible landmark. It was built between 1898 and 1900 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee as well as the 400th anniversary of John Cabot's discovery of the New Found Land. The Tower was used for signaling until 1960. Don't miss the great historical exhibits here.

 

um see the royal link !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

good on you seahorse perhaps a DATA PROTECTION BLOGSPOT SHOULD GO UP AS WELL just hope that you print a warning thread on your blog letting every potential cabot customer know that their DATA PROTECTION INFORMATION IS is now everyones business

Well, I've had a tranfer request for the domain name today. Just emailed Addleshaws and Cabot to confirm it originated from them. Can't be accidentally transferring it to someone else who might be trying it on. If all is OK, and/i get my promised cheque, I'll authorise the transfer once funds have cleared. Not that I don't trusth them, you understand.

 

Looked at my server logs this morning too. Cabot have obviously realised that their IP addy is no longer banned. (Childish, but I was bored). I also see Intrum Justitia were in for a look around. Only 13 pages looked at, so it can't have been interesting for them. But I do wonder why they bothered.

Banks and DCAs may well have internal policies regarding staff use of the internet, but there's no law or statute which would stop any individual visiting a publicly available website.

 

I wonder if the Cabot employees are finding coveritup useful :D

  • Barclays: WON!!! It took four months but was totally worth it!
  • Cabot: I'm still waiting for an enforcable agreement, more than a year after requesting it. Go on, Uncle Ken, take me to court if you dare. You know you want to!
  • Elephant.co.uk: VICTORY - they admitted there was no debt!
  • Ashbourne Management (gym membership): Finally got my default removed and out-of-court settlement; I'm not finished with them yet!

<--- If I've been helpful please remember the scales ;)

It is to be hoped they find it educational. But I don't expect them to actually take anything on board.

 

Although I did offer them a small piece of advice by email a while back, which they acted on. Perhaps I should send them an invoice for my consultancy fee? ;)
