    • 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.

Hi Everyone,

 

I have just been reading boston3603 hardship case and I am in a similar position with abbey and I am looking for some advice/help. It has been such a long time since I posted here I am a bit confused and lost in the whole forums, so I hoping some one could help me through it please.

 

At present my claim is stayed at derby county court for £8212 (as of last year). I have just received a letter from abbey saying that they are taking away my £1200 overdraft as from 1st Jan 2009. Once they do this I will be in deep dodo. I have been off work for the last 3 years because I had spinal surgery and I am only on half pay, so there is still around £1000 per month going into my account. I am slowly drowning and i don't know where to go now. Mortgage & other stuff is is starting to slip and when my O/D is taken away I will be left -£1200 down. Only ay I can see to resolve it is for me to put in a hardship case. Do I send this to abbey, the court or the FSA? Please help.

 

I've also started a new thread so I don't take over bostons thread.

After ringing up to ask why our plea for hardship was taking so long, next day got a letter saying we are not considered hardup enough which is why as from this friday, we will be applying for BR.:evil: I am seriously thinking now of telling them to reconsider as we will be BR soon. So although we wont get back the 11000 the bstards owe us, neither will abbey get back the 3000 OD. I stopped paying all my creditors last month, including payments to reduce the OD. For every 15 quid I paid, they slapped on OD service charge of 15.00:rolleyes: If you can, you have to ask what frightens you more. Staying in this situation and have the feckers squeeze the life out of you or go BR....although it is much easier for me as I do not own my home. Keep reading through this place...it is fab and you will find loads of support and inspiration.:)

I wish you all the very best.

Hazel

I have read in the paper today that the banks have been given yet another six months grace to sort themselves out. They are putting off paying out by appealing here there and everywhere. They are still however hammering people with charges and being allowed to do so. Something has to give surely.:x

It's called the FSA Waiver which has simply been extended since the OFT Test case issues have not yet been completed.

Well, we're waiting to make sure that - when we go back to the court to rescue our stayed claims -we have all of the information so that we need.

 

 

 

The good people of CAG are working hard behind the scenes, we just need to be patient for a little bit longer. I'm sure that when the new information is ready there'll be an announcement!

:)
