    • The Contract itself The airport is actually owned by the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan. There should be an authority from them for Bristol airport group  to sign on their behalf. Without it the contract is invalid. The contract has so many  clauses redacted that it is questionable as to its fairness with regard to the Defendants ability to receive a fair trial. In the case of WH Holding Ltd, West Ham United Football Club Ltd -v- E20 Stadium LLP [2018],  In reaching its decision, the Court gave a clear warning to parties involved in litigation: ‘given the difficulties and suspicions to which extensive redaction inevitably gives rise, parties who decide to adopt such an appropriate in disclosure must take enhanced care to ensure that such redactions are accurately made, and must be prepared to suffer costs consequences if they are not’. The contract is also invalid as the signatories are required to have their signatures co-signed by independent witnesses. There is obviously a question of the date of the signatures not being signed until 16 days after the start of the contract. There is a question too about the photographs. They are supposed to be contemporaneous not taken several months before when the signage may have been different or have moved or damaged since then. The Defendant respectfully asks the Court therefore to treat the contract as invalid or void. With no contract there can be no breach. Indeed even were the contract regarded as valid there would be no breach It is hard to understand why this case was brought to Court as there appears to be no reasonable cause to apply to the DVLA.............
    • Danny - point taken about the blue paragraphs.  Including them doesn't harm your case in any way.  It makes no odds.  It's just that over the years we've had judges often remarking on how concise & clear Caggers' WSs have been compared to the Encyclopaedia Britannica-length rubbish that the PPCs send, so I always have a slight preference to cut out anything necessary. Don't send off the WS straight away .. you have plenty of time ... and let's just say that LFI is the Contract King so give him a couple of days to look through it with a fine-tooth comb.
    • Do you have broadband at home? A permanent move to e.g. Sky Glass may not fit with your desire to keep your digibox,, but can you move the items you most want off the digibox? If so, Sky Glass might suit you. You might ask Sky to loan you a “puck” and provide access as an interim measure. another option might be using Sky Go, at least short term, to give you access to some of the Sky programming while awaiting the dish being sorted.
    • £85PCM to sky, what!! why are you paying so much, what did you watch on sky thats not on freeview?  
    • Between yourself and Dave you have produced a very good WS. However if you were to do a harder hitting WS it may be that VCS would be more likely to cancel prior to a hearing. The Contract . VCS [Jake Burgess?] are trying to conflate parking in a car park to driving along a road in order to defend the indefensible. It is well known that "NO Stopping " cannot form a contract as it is prohibitory. VCS know that well as they lose time and again in Court when claiming it is contractual. By mixing up parking with driving they hope to deflect from the fact trying to claim that No Stopping is contractual is tantamount to perjury. No wonder mr Burgess doesn't want to appear in Court. Conflation also disguises the fact that while parking in a car park for a period of time can be interpreted as the acceptance of the contract that is not the case while driving down a road. The Defendant was going to the airport so it is ludicrous to suggest that driving by a No Stopping  sign is tacitly accepting  the  contract -especially as no contract is even being offered. And even if a motorist did not wish to be bound by the so called contract what could they do? Forfeit their flight and still have to stop their car to turn around? Put like that the whole scenario posed by Mr Burgess that the Defendant accepted the contract by driving past the sign is absolutely absurd and indefensible. I certainly would not want to appear in Court defending that statement either. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will do the contract itself later.

    • 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've just had a call from Robinson Wray (think correct name) re "outstanding ebay charges." I owed ebay £16.86 which was paid a month or so ago now, but afterwards had an invoice from the above debt collectors stating I owed £24.86 (£16.86 in ebay fees and £8 in admin charges).

 

Reason for starting this thread is RW have just called stating I still owe £8 still - I know nothing of this. I did have a phonecall from RW after I had paid the ebay fees but I explained I had paid the fees (£16.86) directly to ebay, all confirmed from ebay etc and so their system obviously hadn't been updated.

 

The man just now on the phone from RW was quite rude and threatening. I asked him to send me an invoice and terms and conditions stating why etc I had to pay this £8 but he refused - he wouldn't let me speak and was shouting so I've just hung up....

 

Anyone have any advice for the above please? He's saying I have to pay the £8, I can't see anything (easily) on the ebay site and as far as I'm concerned the matter was settled ages ago when I settled the ebay account!

Well, basically, you've learned a valuable lesson I believe just about everyone on this site has learned - don't speak to DCA's on the phone.

 

Send a letter to Robinson Way, telling them that you have paid in full and you consider that to be the end of the matter. Unless they can furnish you with proof that this debt of £8 exists, if they continue to contact you, you will take it construe harrassment and will take the appropriate measures.

 

make sure you write "I do not acknowledge any debt to your company" at the top.

I know its not right and ebay is cr*p

 

but just pay the f**king £8, its not worth the hassle...

 

If it was £8000 i'd understand, if it was £800 i'd understand, if it was £80 i'd understand, if it was £25 i would sort of understand.... but for £8 ... pay it off, you will live longer

I would disagree - for some people, it's not the monetary value which is important, it's the principle - too many people capitulate with the view of "it's only a small amount of money" - IMO, that's totally irrelevant - the point is, why should you part with your hard earned cash to a DCA wgo isn't owed it?

I know. But people have gone bald over such small amounts of money, their blood pressure and stress levels have increased so much that their chances of a heart attack and stroke has tripled.

 

If you can spend £8 in a week easily at keeping healthy - then surely you can write off £8.

 

Do you really want them to add money on top of that? Most debts start off very small and they snowball. So £8 wont have that problem, but they could send people round, CCJ's etc.

 

 

What i am saying is life is too short to worry about £8. The average person gambles that by going on the lottery in a month...

It's a principle and I am not an "average" person - I don't play the lottery!

 

They probably make tons of money by people paying charges they don't owe...

 

If they won't show me the paperwork saying I owe the charge and can't prove it in the terms and conditions, why should I pay? I could easily start a similar [problem] and by some people stupidly paying charges they don't owe I would become very rich! But it's wrong.

Imagine if you were Robinson and Way and wrote a letter to 100 or 1,000 people asking for £8 and for a quiet life everyone paid it, you'd be making a lot of money for old rope - if you don't owe it DON'T PAY!

£8.00, for someone on Income Support, represents nearly 25% of their weekly income.

 

With £8.00, I can buy:

 

7 loaves of bread = £1.40

2 x 4 pts milk = £2.00

8 x Baked Beans = £1.60

20 x Fish Fingers = £1.00

12 x yogurts = £1.40

1 kg Bananas = £0.70

 

In other words, if need be, I can feed a family of 4 for nearly 1 week.

 

Please don't assume that £8.00 is not worth it, for some people, it is the difference between eating or not, between freezing in winter or not. :mad:

I had letters sent via a debt collection agency for ebay, I didn't really understand how ebay worked, however I do now. I will never use ebay again.

Also on the subject of DCA TMobile continued to ask me for payment even though I had cancelled my phone. They said I had not used my number which I had asked them for 'a transfer number'? however I decided I would rather have a new number on my new phone, therefore my contract was still running!? I had the DCA call me and want me to give confirmation details over the phone, of course being 'smart' I wanted information from them as to why they were calling me. In the end the lady became very annoyed 'well it's your credit reference that will suffer' was the final comment before I hung up. I agree do not talk to DCA's on the phone.

Having checked my v/mails last night Robinson & Way are doing a fine job of time wasting without my help.....I have loads where it's the automatic calling system but the v/mail says "sorry our operators are busy, please hold" followed by a man / woman spending ages saying "hello? hello?" - have more than one!

Just took another call from Robinson & Way. Anyway in short the woman hung up on me.

 

I have it confirmed in writing from ebay I owe nothing, I know I owe nothing. I forwarded this email on to Robinson & Way this week. Anyway just told the woman on the phone I'd forwarded this to them and she said they'd received nothing. I said "are you lot really that stupid then that you send me CONFIRMATION" you've received this information and then call me and tell me it's not received?

 

It's affecting my credit rating I believe - I've applied for a basic, first time credit card and been refused - can't understand why as should have nothing on my credit report.

 

Any advice please?

Get your credit reports from the 3 CRA's and see what's on there would be the first thing to do.

I've requested them, but because moved in Oct and was only on electoral roll a couple of months ago I can't get my reports online so had to sent off loads of paperwork which is taking time.

Refusal may have nothing to do with adverse data - they're getting picky and if you don;t seem desperate enough they don't want your business unless they''ll make LOTS of money from you.... bounced DD's, late fees etc etc...

An update.....

 

I had another call from them at 7 ish last night as I was getting home. This time I didn't know it was them (unknown number) so answered as presumed could've been a friend calling from work. Anyway I spoke to them and again they were just plain rude and said I owed them £8. I said that as they were unwilling to send me any details of these alleged charges and I have it confirmed from ebay there is nothing owed I wasn't prepared to pay them, and they could be anybody calling and of course I'm not going to give out my card details. I pointed out if I just called up people and asked for alleged debts with no foundation / anything I'd become very rich very quickly but that I'm not that stupid!

 

I also pointed out that because of the number of calls etc as far as I'm concerned it's harrassment by telephone. They said it wasn't harrassment by telephone as they were calling for money I owe them. I said I don't owe anything and this volume of calls (and voicemails) per day is harrassment and I will take further action.

 

I did get my partner to speak to them who quoted various bits of the law he remembered from here to them, and then the girl seemed to run out of her script and hung up.

 

I think I will contact Trading Standards today and send the harrassment by telephone letter - does anyone else have any further advice?

 

Just for the record again - I don't owe this money, this is why I am not prepared to pay it!

Simply this - report them to the OFT as well. If enough people complain and the complaints are serious enough, the OFT may decide to revoke their license.

Dear Sir/Madam

This is my one and only letter in regards to frequent telephone calls from your company regarding alleged fees owed in connection with my ebay account.

 

As you are unwilling to provide copies of any invoices or terms and conditions detailing these alleged charges, I do not acknowledge this debt. I would advise you to cease pursuing this account as you cannot provide proof of contract.

 

Furthermore, if you do not cease all telephone calls with immediate affect I will be taking further action. I have verbally requested that these stop, but I am still receiving calls.

 

I am of the view that your continued harassment of me by telephone puts you in breach of Section 40 of the Administration of Justice Act 1970, and the Protection from Harassment Act 1997.

 

If you continue to harass me by telephone, you will also be in breach of the Communications Act (2003) s.127.

 

I have reported the above matter to both Trading Standards and the Office of Fair Trading.

 

I expect to hear from you within seven days to acknowledge you have received this letter and will cease pursuing this account.

 

Yours faithfully
