    • none of their ruddy business! and if they have been pressuring you in o borrowing from friends and family .. THAT IS WRONG AND AGAINST THE REGULATIONS...if you have that in B&W you need to REPORT THEM. once a debt is defaulted and it gone from your file it can never come back. not without a fight in court you won't. i think you are getting confused here , just because you've been paying 'creditors' via and IVA it does NOT mean the debt can re-appear on your file, and it does not mean you are more likely to get more CCJ attempts. statute barring is 6yrs from a debts last payment, but that can't change anything on your credit file. i really wish you hadn't sent that letter. please dont do anything more now unless you check with us first..no calls, in/out. no emails in/out no letters in/out....thats if you want our help.... NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS STOP GROVELLING to them. could have been worded alot better and more forcefully. dx    
    • 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,

      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.

Dave, is the disc intact? You may be able to get some of the data off if you go and see a specialist. Even PC World may be able to help.

 

Happened to me a few years ago so I bought a spare hard drive and try to get stuff backed up each week (when I remember!).

DON'T take it to PCWorld as they WILL junk you HDD !!!

 

Monty has a good idea, you MAY be able to run the old drive as a slave and take the data off it, otherwise there are a number of specialist firms out there.

Be VERY careful whose advice you listen too

. In the end I purchased some inexpensive call blocking software which basically hangs the phone up on them, as soon as it detects their number! :p;) The beauty of this is that I now have a comprehensive call log of their stupid phone calls.

It depends on what operating system your phone has, I have an SPV M700 which is PDA phone running Window Mobile 5. The utility in question is called Call Block and it only cost me around $10. I bought it from the Amercian website for Handango - Handango - Windows Mobile, Palm OS, BlackBerry and Symbian Smartphone Software Downloads. It allows me to create a blacklist of numbers which is stored on the phone. It gives the option to answer then hang up or to just hang up straight away! I set mine to hang up straight away, so they just got my voicemail each and every time. :p

 

There is a similar software for phones running Symbian, Blackberry, Palm OS. I was driven to these lengths as my service provider Orange informed me that they couldn't block specific numbers to my phone. Being the geek I am, I knew that there had to be specific software that could deal with this. Depending on the software you purchase, you can go as far as blocking unwanted SMS messages, creating whitelists and blacklists for numbers etc.

 

It's been a revelation for me I can tell you. :D

NO.....

 

It was a bad crash.... It's all gone! Thx for suggesting though... :|

 

 

Dave have you tried the professional recovery route though? Just because a HDD appears to have no data it doesn't mean that it doesn't. Usually data is recoverable even after a drive is wiped due to its failure, power surge etc.

 

Do you need a recommendation?

LOL! I guess I should spread that one round the forum. :p;)

 

I still don't quite know how the bar stewards got hold on my mobile number. Prior to this I used to get text messages which I also ignored.

 

I am registered with the UK and US Handango sites. I buy from either depending on the rate when I do conversions to see which site is cheaper. There's usually not a lot in it, but I have to watch my pennies so every little helps.:)

 

Glad I could be of some help.

Despite being a Handango customer (for my Palm) for ages, I didn't realise they also had Symbian software. A quick look reveals that there are quite a few call blockers available for my N95. Just what I need.

 

Spread the word!

@ Diskmandave. Take the advice above mate. Get your hard drive down to a decent computer repair center (The little backstreet ones are generally best as the process is time consuming but in most cases most def can be done.). Other than that you can have a go yourself (if your patient and computer literate). To do this you should install a brand new HD and put your faulty one onto ide 2 or sata 2 if it is a sata. So in effect you have your new windows on your new HD and you have your old HD on (port 2 ie IDE 2) using some good recovery software (just google for it these plenty) you should be able to retrieve most of your lost data). Remember the police and security services have to do this every day.......

 

Good luck with it all though.

Diddy Vrs Clarity - Clarity have produced CCA on behalf of EGG CC

Diddy Vrs Woolwich - I am at stage 2 (recieved shcedule of charges applied to account)

Diddy Vrs Buchanan clark & Wells - sent CCA request, not yet complied.

Dave .... how about contacting Reka on the Abbey forum, he seems to know a fair bit about computers and helped one of the Abbey reclaimers when their HDD went belly up.

 

Just a thought.

 

Glad you're back with us.

 

Tricia.

Thx for all the suggestions.... I've started again from scratch though...

Just got a whole stack of system discs to do and should back to somewhere near normal, not going to get anything much done tonight now though, sick of the sight of the damn thing!

 

Just to update... 2 calls today...

 

1) Housephone... "Can I speak to DMD at xYz address please?!" Sneaky!

-- "Speaking but i'm not confirming any private details on the 'phone".

-- "What's the reason for that?"

-- "Data Protection"

-- cLuNk!

2) Mobile 'phone... Same as (1) but the guy sounded like he really really wanted a fight, so just answered "can't confirm" to all his questions 'til he got really wound up & slammed the 'phone down! Think i've spoken to him before on the infamous long quoted telecon that I posted ages ago.

 

Ohh well, look forward to tomorrow...!

NO.....

 

It was a bad crash.... It's all gone! Thx for suggesting though... :|

 

It never goes completely even if you format the disc. you might not be able to see it at the moment but there are programs that can re-enstate it, search for files in any formatt.

 

Say the word and I'm pretty sure I can email you a zipfile with a program that if used via another pc can pull up all your lost files.

 

Great thread by the way! I can't wait to use the "Cease- you are about to break the data protection act" that another poster on this thread wrote about!!!
