    • A) Bollards, or B) county court action for trespass onto your private land, or C) retain one of the private parking firms, ensuring that they'll offer to take payment for the private parking space(s) on your land. (What you don't want is for them to put up signs saying "no parking" ... as then there can't be a contract to park to be broken .... read up on the parking threads to see what can be used to get out of such a private parking charge....) The PPC offers parking, with the proviso that a) they pay, and b) they provide contact numbers for the cars to be moved when needed. Make the payment required sufficient that it isn't attractive to them to chose to park there (& pay)....... Bollards may not be the cheapest option, but it will likely be the simplest / most effective.
    • You need to choose between ET and small claims, you cannot do both. For straightforward wages I'd go small claims. Faster and less messing about. Advice here Employment claims in the civil courts - Working Families WORKINGFAMILIES.ORG.UK Some types of employment-related claims can be brought in the civil courts, rather than in an Employment Tribunal. This advice page offers a high level...  
    • The garages are used - just car currently being fixed.  I have no need of what they offer.  It is conscious trespass - and the law allows. Which is frustrating.  It's just v annoying that they do this. Isn't there a law that someone cannot prevent access to a public highway from private land?
    • The problem with sending it too early is that Jake might try to write something called a Supplemental Witness Statement to undermine yours.  It would be better to send yours right on the court's deadline. The problem is that we don't know when that is.  In 90% of cases it's 14 days before the court's deadline, so 21/06.  However, in the odd case the judge decides differently.  
    • Signs and notes on windscreens wouldn't deter me either. after all. it's private land and very little deterrent to stop drivers from abusing it. A physical barrier, IMHO is the only way you will stop them abusing it.....or, depending on what businesses they are, why not rent out your garage to them, ask them for a staff discount if you purchase anything from them? Whilst it is irksome, how much money have you got to throw at it, and is it really that important in your life? If you were using your garage, different story.

    • 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.

See Kennyparkroads Littlewoods thread. HTF can they register a default when they have failed to pve a debt????

 

 

Sorry ODC but can you explain that to me?

Whats pve?

What does it mean if they've registered a default?

I thought this letter might be good news, but now i'm unsure.

I have carried on making payments to legal direct since the CCA request.

Hi Traceyc, I've just read your thread as I have had dealings with Littlewoods and received the same document which was not signed by me as a credit agreement. I think what ODC is saying is Littlewoods cannot register a default on your credit file as they have failed to prove there is a debt. I would stop paying them as they have said on their letter that they will not be pursuing the account for the outstanding balance.

Exactly. just a bit of a typo. Did you think PVE was some sort of legal term Tracey. If they put a default on your credit file it stays for 6 years. They have failed to prove a debt so I cannot legally see how you can default on something which didnt exist

Thanks everyone :)

To be honest i'm not that concerned about the default as i have other debts to clear that will take longer than 6 yrs to clear, so i'm kinda black listed anyway & at least it stops me being tempted into more debt!!

 

I just wanted to be able to pay the agreed amount without illegal harrassment from debt agencies, but if they have wrote the debt off i will stop paying...as long as they dont start sending me letters & calls again!!

 

Sorry to ask again but do i need to notify legal direct (who i have actually been paying the money to)??

Keep a copy of the letter writing off the debt. Its not your job to inform legal direct. There is no debt for them to claim on now. If by any chance the mail order company foolishly seel this debt on to some other DCA you will have the letter as proof the debt has been written off

Hello everyone.

I'm sorry to bump up such an old thread but im having a similar problem myself, although its Orange and not Littlewoods.

The one difference is that, as a student i dont live at home anymore so the calls are being made to my parents house.

 

What I'd like advice on is how to start corresponding with Moorcroft from my student address.

Will i need to phone and explain? Or shall i send them a letter complaining about the calls and including my new address?

Most companies have my address registered as my parents house as you often aren't allowed to register a student house.

 

I'd also be interested to hear if anyone else has had any experience with Orange in the past.

 

Thanks!

NEVER PHONE THEM

Send them this from your new address

You have contacted me/us regarding the account with the above reference number, which you claim is owed by myself/ourselves.

 

I/we would point out that I/we have no knowledge of any such debt being owed to (insert company name).

 

I am/we are familiar with the Office of Fair Trading Debt Collection Guidance which states that it unfair to send demands for payment to an individual when it is uncertain that they are the debtor in question.

 

I/we would also point out that the OFT say under the Guidance that it is unfair to pursue third parties for payment when they are not liable. In not ceasing collection activity whilst investigating a reasonably queried or disputed debt you are using deceptive/and or unfair methods.

 

Furthermore ignoring and/or disregarding claims that debts have been settled or are disputed and continuing to make unjustified demands for payment amounts to physical/psychological harassment.

 

I/we would ask that no further contact be made concerning the above account unless you can provide evidence as to my/our liability for the debt in question.

 

I/we await your written confirmation that this matter is now closed. Otherwise I will have no option but to make a complaint to the trading standards department and consider informing the OFT of your actions.

 

I/we look forward to your reply.

NEVER PHONE THEM

Hi Rusty

 

You are probably better off starting your own thread for this, so if you need any more help it won't get confused with the first few pages.

 

I've now sent a pm to one of the mods.

I'm midway through the tunnel, but getting closer to the light.

 

 

 

Please be aware that i am not an expert in anything!

I may offer an opinion, but the final decision is yours.
