    • Whatever the nuances of the law, they will be lost on OPS, who like the rest of the PPcs never bother to get planning permission, ever. When they get a new contract they don't want to delay issuing PCNs by deigning to follow the law, especially as the period when they take over and the parking restrictions are new is the time when they can catch most drivers out.
    • I had some contact with this company earlier in my working life but I'm afraid there's not a lot I can suggest that you haven't already done. During your grandfather's time  British Celanese was a subsidiary of Courtaulds. Courtaulds was subsequently (after your grandfather had stopped working there) acquired by Alzo Nobel. They in turn closed down the Spondon site and sold it. I have no idea what the number is that you are trying to call. It's a Derby (Spondon) area code but the number appears not to be allocated. From my slim knowledge of the history of the company I would have expected your grandfather's pension to be in the Alzo Nobel (CPS) Pension Scheme.  But Willis Tower Watson are the Pension Scheme Administrator of that scheme and would be the people who should know if your grandfather had contributed. Is your grandfather certain he contributed? Joining pension schemes wasn't compulsory in those days. Or might he have got his contributions returned when he left them? That happened sometimes back then. Sorry not to be of more help.      
    • I am sorry I am not aware of this report from IAS assessors? The Court will consider my application at a online hearing in June. The Court instructed me to send Bank copies of my sons condition proving he could not have been the driver I have heard nothing further. My son is not aware of any proceedings I have not involved him to avoid causing him distress, he has been sectioned a fair few times and I need to avoid this happening.
    • I am very pleased that the Court has taken the decision to allow you to  represent your son and hope that he is happy enough with that to relieve the stress he will also be feeling. I do agree that Bank parking are so insensitive, greedy, horrible etc etc to continue proceedings considering  in what it is a very minor case of a wrong number plate . Even their  own  IAS Assessors, who are normally hopelessly biased in favour of their members, went out on a limb and said  " The Operator's evidence shows no payment for the Appellant's vehicle, or anything similar. It does show two payments for the same registration in quick succession. I would take a reasonable guess, based on the circumstances described, that the person paying has paid for the registration of the person they assisted again." That is damning evidence and you must take that report with you as well as including that in your Witness Statement which we will help you with. I would expect that Bank would discontinue the case at that point.  But I am sorry to say  that you should not count on it.  
    • Evening all,   I have deliberated over this offer for two weeks and I have decided to take their offer. I do understand that some may prefer us to go to court and receive a judgement but with our personal circumstances and my current military commitment that could become an issue. I am so grateful for all the help and support you have all offered me over the last few months. I will continue to monitor this site and push all those that are being wrong to get in touch.   Thank you! what you all do is truly amazing!

    • 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.

I had to look up CPR to see what it meant - originally I thought it must stand for "Crown Protection Racket". How wrong can one be... :->

The more I read this site, the more congratulations I want to heap on CAG for the invaluable service they are performing. Bravo!

I think luck went against you here, some judges would have lost the rag with them and sent them packing; other judges keep giving people chances to be able to put their argument forward and obtain a 'fair' outcome based on argument of the facts.

Number of times I've asked 1st Credit for information that I stil haven't recieved... 55 as at 02/05/07 :!:

Google's UK payment service 'Checkout' is already live - it started a few months ago, however eBay don't allow it as a payment option on their system! Why am I not surprised?

Update!!!!!

 

Hearing was adjourned until 2pm today, well heres what happened...

 

Went to court hearing at 2pm and there was some foreign bird there representing paypal - she had no defense prepared!

 

She didnt have a clue what she was on about and the judge was having a right go at her, basically saying that the claim was served upon them at that address, and the fact it didnt get to paypals office inside was not mine nor the courts fault, but paypals!

 

He then turned to me and said 'ive got every sympathy for you, and i know up to now you have had alot of your time wasted' - then told paypal to get it sorted! He gave them until 4pm on 14th june to have defense served to me, if I hear nothing I can then get my judgement back.

 

So. if i hear nothing in 7 days then i gonna send the bailiffs in big stylee, along with a wasted costs order!!

 

If you get a defence from them check the date on the covering letter. Solicitors have a habit of sending the day before service is due relying of Royal Mail to deliver the following day.

 

You could receive it in the post on the 14th but they still be unable to prove service if their covering letter is dated the 13th.

PUTTING IT IN WRITING & KEEPING COPIES IS A MUST FOR SUCCESS

Well they sent their defence, sent from ireland via a courier with loads of terms and conditions stating that their reason is fair etc etc... and this was written by the same woman that turned up in court last thurs.

 

So let me get this straight, they owe me £173, and they paid for someone to come over from ireland, all the way to weymouth (dorset) for a 5 min court hearing. It must have cost them loads to do this!

 

Anyway its up to the district judge now, so have to wait and see what happens.

 

the fact that paypal are also changing from 'paypal (europe) ltd' to 'paypal luxemburg' makes me smell an even bigger rat.

If she was a Solicitor, she wouldn't have come from Eire as she'd need to be registered with the English Law Society to practise in England & Wales. More likely she's London based, and works from there.

Update!!!!

 

Well, the court decided to have another hearing. I got the notice a few days ago for it to be in september.

 

Anyway... Today I had this email....

 

Subject : Offer of settlement of your county court claim

 

Dear Mr. ********

 

I refer to the above mentioned matter and the court hearing of the 03rd of September 2007.

 

Without any admission of liability and for administrative reasons only PayPal is prepared to offer you a full settlement of your claim in the sum of 203.48 GBP.

 

If you are agreeable to accept this offer I will send a settlement agreement to be signed together with a draft consent order that need to be filed in court in cases of settlement.

 

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or queries.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Elena Calavia

 

Legal Counsel

 

PayPal

 

So, I replied saying yes (as its all i wanted anyway) and kept every detail of the email, including senders IP addresses... just in case!

 

Finally, a result!!

Good to hear - however I wouldn't sign any Consent Order until the money is in your hands. Also, as the pursuer in this instance, I would tell them that on receipt of settlement, you will arrange for the action to be discontinued. Letting them provide you with forms to do this is a bit like them taking control of the matter, which I would never let a Defender do!

ooh another thought - if they do pay up, should i put in for something like a wasted costs order?

 

You need to agree a final figure to conclude the matter - so if you've had additional costs in the matter, explain what they are and the final amount your require to settle. They can still opt not to, so bear that in mind.

Out of interest, it seems that PayPal have changed their policy now that they have become a bank..

 

I had an email last month saying that although my account was suspended, I could now withdraw my money from it! So I did straight away.. No need for court action.

 

Farewell PayPal.. :p
