    • £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.
    • Yes - ignore. Because of another MET victim today I looked at all our MET cases back to June 2014 ... yes, 10 years. They have never dared take a motorist to court and argue their case before a judge.  They have started the odd court case, but as a means of trying to intimidate the motorist into coughing up, when the motorist defended and refused to give in it was MET who bottled it and discontinued.
    • Unpaid wages should be pretty straightforward if you did the work. Don't be intimidated. You need only show you were due money, and did not get money.   The risk is that they have no money to pay you (and legal fees) - frankly a solicitor maybe be costing them more than your claim is for and I might have expected them to make a commercial decision to settle before this point regardless of the merits of the case.
    • Thanks so much FTMDave.  This is so much better   I'm still tempted to leave the blue section in is as if I lose it will at least save me a little bit of money.  But I get your point that it's pretty superfluous.   Thinking I'll get this in the post on Monday unless you think it's worth delaying?

    • 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.

Stax, why can't I copy and paste from this thread? Any ideas?

 

No, you should be able to right-click on the images to copy or save them (in Windows Internet Explorer anyway). You can't highlight and copy text, though, as they are images. That's the only thing I can think of.

 

BTW - have you got the 1996 T&Cs in image or pdf form (rather than text)? If so could you send them to me or post them here? If you PM me I'll give you an email address.

 

cheers, Stax

Sorry stax, I only have the 96 in text form. Jowalshy sent them me in a pm.

I realise now that i can't copy them as they are images from photobucket. I will try and email them to myself and see if I can reproduce them in order to print them out.

While I'm here, which parts of the 96 t&c's would be most relevant to my claim? I just want to add the important bits rather than the whole document.

Thanks in advance if you can help!

If you can email them, surely you can save or copy them?

 

Images are better than text for evidence purposes - they look a

lot better in court than a big slab of text which could have come

from anywhere. On that topic I now have the 96 T&Cs in glorious

technicolor, to follow.

 

Text obviously has its uses though, notably cutting and pasting

bits, as you have found. Thanks for your contribution of the

1996-vintage text. I've PMed you about it.

 

In answer to your q about the useful bits from the 1996 T&Cs:

 

--------------------------------------------------------------

THE CORE BITS (TALK ABOUT BANG TO RIGHTS!)---------------

 

7.2 You must always keep your current account in credit unless

we have agreed an overdraft with you.

 

7.3 You must not go over any overdraft limit that is agreed with

us unless you get our agreement first.

 

7.9 As well as charging interest for unauthorised overdrafts, we

may also charge a fee to cover the cost of the administration

involved (see the relevant price list).

-----------------------------------------------------------

EXPLANATION OF THE CORE BITS:

7.2 & 7.3 mean that you are in breach of contract if you go

over your OD limit. This is a necessary condition of the charges

being penalties.

7.9 makes it clear that the charges are levied in response to

that breach, and not on some other basis. It also says that the

charges are to cover costs - this is the bit we need to disprove

to confirm that the charges are penalties - hence the OFT stuff.

The fact that the bank makes this claim means that we have a

very good basis for saying they concealed the fact that they

weren't just covering costs but instead making a profit - which is

useful if you want to claim charges levied more than 6 years ago.

---------------------------------------------------------------

 

A BIT WHICH SHOWS THEIR NEW STORY ABOUT INFORMAL

OVERDRAFT REQUESTS ISN'T JUST A CLARIFICATION OF

EXISTING PRACTICE----------------------------------------

 

7.7 If we pay a cheque or other item you issue and, as a result,

your account goes overdrawn or goes over your agreed

overdraft limit, this does not mean that we have agreed an

overdraft or an increased limit. You must immediately pay

enough money into your account to cover the overdrawn

amount or the amount that is over your agreed limit.

-----------------------------------------------------------

 

 

A BIT WHICH COULD BE PERSUASIVE IN CONNECTION WITH

CLAIMING BACK OD INTEREST (THOUGH LATER VERSIONS OF

THE T&CS ARE LESS SPECIFIC ON THIS AND THEREFORE

MORE USEFUL)-----------

 

9.3 Liability for unauthorised transactions

9.3.1 Our liability

We will be responsible for any money lost if:

. your card is lost in despatch from us to you

. there is a fault on a self-service machine of which you have

not been notified by a message on the screen or a notice on

the machine.

Unless we can show that you have acted fraudulently or with

gross negligence, we will also be responsible for any money

lost if your card is used without your authority after you have

reported to us that it has been lost or stolen or that you

suspect that your PIN is known by someone else. We will

credit your account with any amount debited under the above

circumstances including any related interest and charges. We

will have no further liability to you.

Hello all,

 

glad they are of use. I don't want to tread on anyone's toes so I should add I will send these as pdfs as soon as CAG provides somewhere for them to be downloaded from. In fact I've already sent/offered to send most of them already, but obviously there is quite a bit on what with the strange antics of various district judges recently, so in the m,eantime I am providing the stuff on this thread as a stopgap.

 

If anyone knows of a site which can hosts pdfs for free, I'll put them there. In the meantime it's just images, though the full T&Cs for 2003 and 2004 are available as pdfs here: http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/hsbc-bank/90721-i-need-your-help.html#post840881 though I don't know for how long theye will stay there.

 

Also, if anyone else has any T&Cs they've scanned feel free to add them.

If you're not sure how, PM me.

 

COPYING, SAVING OR PRINTING THE IMAGES:

It should be possible to save or print the images by clicking on them with the right-hand mouse button and selecting 'Save picture as...' or 'Print picture' from the pop-up menu. That's how you do it in Windows anyway, but Mac OS is probably pretty similar I expect. (Just ignore that last sentence if you don't know what it means.)

 

If you can't be bothered to right-click and save each image file, you could look in your temporary internet files (For Microsoft Internet Explorer, that's something like Tools..Internet Options..Temporary Internet Files..View Files - the details depend on your IE version) after you have viewed the page(s) with the images you want on them, and you will probably find all the image files cached in there. (Again ignore this if you don't know what I'm on about.)

 

Anyway I hope that answers most questions and doesn't cause more confusion than it removes. For my next trick: the complete 1996 T&Cs, in full colour (red and black, very appropriate.)

 

Stax
