    • You can counter a Judges's question on why you didn't respond by pointing out that any company that charges you with stopping at a zebra crossing is likely to be of a criminal mentality and so unlikely to cancel the PCN plus you didn't want to give away any knowledge you had at that time that could allow them to counteract your claim if it went to Court. There are many ways in which you can see off their stupid claim-you will see them in other threads  where our members have been caught by Met at other airports as well as Bristol.  Time and again they take motorists to Court for "NO Stopping" apparently completely forgetting that the have lost doing that because no stopping is prohibitory and cannot form a contract. Yet they keep on issuing PCNs because so many people just pay up . Crazy . You can see what chuckleheads they are when you read their Claim form which is pursuing you as the driver or the keeper. they don't seem to understand that on airport land because of the Bye laws, the keeper is never liable.

    • 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.

Hi All,

 

Can anyone tell me whether a Gesture of Goodwill (GOGW) can be used as part settlement or is this something one can keep, as well as pursue a claim for your full unfair charges?? What shall I do.......... help! :confused:

 

Here's my story so far, I was offered a GOGW from Smile of £800 despite my total charges being £1150. In fact they put the money into my account without my knowledge and I didnt get a reply to my LBA. When I discovered the funds in my account I didnt know why they put this amount in the account with no explanation. I didnt get any correspondance in the form of a letter, phone call or secure message so

I put the £800 into another cooperative linked account but havent touched the money.... is this ok??

 

Anyway sent a template letter 'Response to their settlement offer' this morning stating that I only will accept the £800 as part payment on the understanding that I will recover the rest through a County court claim if necessay.

 

When I got home today ..low and behold they sent me a BACK DATED LETTER which didn't correspond with my LBA dates ( all very convenient ) Smile's letter says ...' £800 has been returned to your account as a GOGW and that they will not refund any interest according to their terms and conditions and that they wont refund any charges unless there's a bank error & giving me 30 days to close my account ( thats fine coz' I've another one - hee hee!!)

 

Can anyone give me some advice. Shall I send a secure message asap telling them to ignore the Response to settlement offer' letter and send another letter stating that I accept the GOGW but that they return all unlawful charges imposed on my account of £1150.???????

 

foxi :p:rolleyes:

right, you need to do some reading of other threads and the step by step guide.

every settled claim that has been made on here will be 'a goodwill gesture', the banks will never say 'here is the money back from illegal charges we have made on your A/C', if they did , they would be admitting they are wrong.

i doubt they did send a back dated letter either.

IF your outstanding money from them is now only the interest you added, then they are quite within their rights, so far only one claim has been paid where compounded and/or contractural interest has been claimed from start. you dont say if you went to MCOL stage i'll guess its not the 8% of that.

 

now read a few of the smile mails , i think they have closed A/C's before, but if it is retalitory action i think you can sue them.

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...
