    • Found a BMA article related to this subject which I think the OP will find helpful. Patients recording consultations WWW.BMA.ORG.UK Our guidance answers if patients can record doctors without permission or covertly, how to respond when a patient asks to record their appointment and what to do if a covert recording is posted online.  
    • Ah - that was another thread that got merged back in 2018   That 'split' doesnt refer to this legal matter  
    • Thanks dx for your kind words. I plan to renew my season ticket and write a new begging letter as following, can I ask for any suggestion about it?   Dear Investigator/Prosecutor,   Thank you for your reply. I deeply regret my actions and the inconvenience they have caused.   I’m extremely remorseful for my crime. and regret it everyday. I often ask myself ‘’how can I do that thing just because I felt it is interesting. There are a lot of crimes in the world, but feeling it’s interesting is certainly not a reason to crime. I should not crime with any reason.’’ I think about these things every day, and I understand that I can’t blame anyone but myself.   I thanks to the staff who stopped me, as this is a valuable lesson in my life. I told myself that I should never ever repeat such a thing again, and never ever do anything which is possible to be in breach of any law. As a result, I carefully tap my oyster card every time before I enter the station now. I remind myself that I did a wrong thing before, and I should never let it happen again.   Although my monthly travel expenses do not warrant a season ticket, but I just renew my season ticket (please see the attachment). I understand that a crime cannot be truly compensated for, but purchasing a season ticket offers me a small measure of comfort, knowing that my actions caused a loss to the public interest.   I received an email which ask me to negotiate being class teacher in this summer (please see the attachment). I hope that I could teach the lovely students again, which may not be allowed with a criminal record. I would please ask that you would please provide me a single opportunity to settle all outstanding sums owed outside of court without the need for legal proceedings which would have a determinantal impact on my teaching career.   I sincerely apologise again for my crime. If you need anything further from me to help you please let me know.    Yours sincerely,
    • You did what??? You asked them to send you the documents that without them you had  a 100% ironclad win in Court. Why on earth would you do that? As it happens in this case, there is still enough mistakes in their PCNs and the NTH to have your case cancelled. Amd it may be that not sending those documents in the first place along with the ICO complaint and the letters from Alliance themselves which would confirm by the dates on the letters may be enough to cancel it anyway. I hope you have kept their letters as evidence? The chances are that Alliance will not actually take you to Court because of their errors but you never know.  You have made so much extra work for yourself in your WS if they decide to push their luck.though. Can you please post up their letter where they give the reason why I wasn't sent with the NTH.

    • 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.

OK so I had a crap1 card back in 2000.

The normal story low limit, stopped paying and it was passed to a DCA.

They contacted me a couple years later and I made an arrangement to pay it off.

 

This is where the story should end.

 

Fast forward to end of 2006.

Out of the blue I received, or my folks did, a letter from Lowell saying that they have bought the debt from crap1.

 

Now this is odd as I remember paying this off.

So I gave them a call and explained this and that they should go back to crap1 and check their records.

 

So all goes quiet.

 

Then mid march received a letter from RED debt collections, oh look it's Lowell under a different name.

Now this spurred me into action so SAR'd Crap1 for everything.

 

Well so far so good.

Had delivered, special deliver no less, ALL the paper work from Crap1.

So this weekend I'm going to sit down with a highlighter and see what they owe me.

 

Now as I have been mucked about and I have nothing to loose I'm going for everything WITH CI as well.

Also as this is over 6 years old I feel they will try and fight it.

Should make them sit up and take notice and get RED/Lowell off my back once and for all.

 

I have a slight issue, now there's a surprise.

 

As this account ran 2000 - 2002 the CI will add up to a tidy sum.

Should I stop the interest on the date the agreement ended or go for present day ?

Any idea what rate of CI to use ?

The 2000/02 one or current ??

 

Well in for a penny in for a few hundred pounds ;)

Ellie, thanks for that.

Well the paperwork I received, which was very detailed, didn't mention the rate .

After reading a whole bunch of other threads I think the overall message was one of use the current rate.

Time to get my prelim all typed and await post from Mt Uddy.

Well they have received and signed for my prelim 01/05.

The clock starts now.

Just waiting to hear from Mr Udy, should be interesting.

For the CCI sheets have a look here: VAMPIRESS'S CHAMBER

Try sheet 13.

Now CI is the rate the card charges you each and every month.

This should be confused with the 8% stat rate that the courts can award in cases like this.

Right in your prelim you go with CCI, the 8% stat can only be claimed at MCOL stage.

 

Now claim for EVERYTHING.

The £12 is NOT a hard limit as this hasn't been proved to be lawful.

The OFT recomended this as a limit for charges, saying that they wont investigate levels below this "limit".

Well my Prelim was signed for on the FIRST, but it seems that Mr Udy doesn't want to talk to me.

I'll leave this till next week and send my LBA.

Right a little update for you.

I've just come back from visiting my folks, and what did I find but a bog off letter from Cap1.

Now why do they respond to my SAR at my new address yet still respond to my prelim at my old address.

 

Any way it was a typical "four weeks investigation" letter, so time for my LBA.

Must admit to being slightly surprised by their response considering I'm claiming back to 2000.

Oh well their losse.

What planet are these people on.

Just received a letter at my home address saying that they can't find an account for me at this address.

Well that's hardly surprising as I've moved.

Now EVERY letter I send to these people has my account number and previous address on it, didn't stop my SAR, so this is obviously a new stalling tactic from them.

Oh well, time to resend my LBA and give them another 14 days.

What complete planks !

Received from my folks another nasty gram from RED.

I guess they don't know how to read DISPUTE.

 

Now this was the "we'll take legal action and make you bankrupt" one.

 

So what the hey, I decided to call them.

Freephone number for Lowell found (0800 0270 194), well they ARE both in the same building.

Was passed around a bit untill I ended up on the desk of " Jonathan.

I answer the "security" question correctly, well might as well and gave J a choice;

Either

1/ Conduct this call in an Adult and professional manner

OR

2/ Rant and rave and get nasty straight off.

 

This kid had his head screwed on right and chose option 1/, good for him.

After making it VERY clear that I didn't acknowledge any debt to RED, I gave him a quick update on what had been happening and the fact RED where still ignoring my dispute.

J informed me that the outstanding debt had been adjusted to about £70.

Fair enough I thought Cap1 have obviously been listening to some of my claim.

I then explained to J that I am pusuing Cap1 for ALL the charges AND CCI (had to explain that one to him) and I will be taking them to court over it.

J asked what value I was claiming.

Well over 20 times the figure he gave me, I replied.

 

I was then put on hold for a bit as J talked to the organ grinder (Teamm leader), when he came back he said that this debt was still due and RED would pursue it.

I then explained that acording to Cap1's S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) this debt becomes Stat Barred in about 6 months and if RED wants to take a legal route with me I'll tie them up in red tape so that it does. (A simple CCA will do that nicely)

Off J goes to the organ man again and returns to inform me that RED will be returning this account to Cap1 and won't be actioning me again.

Of course I requested this in writing.

 

So Curlyben strikes again and makes another DCA take their ball home.

 

So

DCA's - 0 CB - 6 !!!!!

 

Who's next ;)

Oooops kind of lost track of time with this one.

Well LBA all done and dusted and NO response.

Slightly surprised as I didn't get an Udy missive.

 

Oh well time to get my N1 sorted out and get this baby filed ;)

Well another nice letter from Cap1, saying that they ahve done nothing wrong and they will only refund £132. Well we'll just have to see about that, wont we ;)

OK I've been very lax on this one.

I offered Cap1 a compromise, but they turned it down.

Oh well all looks good for the courts ;)

 

Right so time to get moving again.

Now as this account started in 2000 should I mention anything about the limitations act in my POC, or just keep quiet.

The responses I've had from Cap1 haven't said anything about this, so I'm inclined to not mention it at all in my POC, but will do if it comes up in their defence.

 

Comments ?

ODC, it's Cap1 so ALL they would have is the mailer application from I filled in from 2000 ;)

 

Red couldn't call a bankruptcy on this anyway as they where only chasing £200, but its not the amount but the principle of the thing.

After all I wouldn't be pursueing Cap1 for the charges if Lowell hadn't approached me in the first palce.

 

Their lose really, but what fun :D

*Update*

 

Well I've been a right lazy bottom with this and kid of left it simmering, but I got a couple of letters from the Clowns so that has spurred me on.

 

So too a nice jaunt to my local court with my 4 pages worth of N1, 3 times, paid the nice man and filed my claim.

 

So now the waiting begins.

 

Must admit I'm NOT going to my local court on a Friday again as it's sentencing day. There was SIX armed police, 8 motorcycle cops as well as a whole load of others. Made me feel a little uneasy I can tell you.

Well this morning I received a letter saying Cap1 will repay;

ALL Charges

ALL interest on the account

s69 8% interest

Court Fees

so in total just over £900.

Ok so this wasn't the CCI total I was claiming, but a result anyway.

 

So where does the DCA come into it.

Well in July 2006 this account was sold to our friends Lowells.

Yes they ARE the owner of the account so

In order to apply these refunds, I have had to contact Lowell Portfolio and ask them to refund the above amount. As you only had an outstanding balance of £70ish, I have arranged to send the credit balance of £850ish to you via a cheque. You will receive this within the next 14 days

 

So a dodgy Cap1 account they bought has ended up costing them OVER £850 !!!!!

 

I would love to of been part of that conversation ;)

 

I can't wait for the cheque as I'll scan it for everyone's amusement.

 

Now that's a RESULT in anyone's book !!!

Well in all honesty as they have offered to repay what they have, then court would simply be about CCI and nothing else.

I'm not that confident arguing just for the interest and nowt else.
