    • Probably the case @lookinforinfo Also an update, I've got the registered keeper letter. Just to check that I continue to ignore it until PAP letter comes in?
    • Thanks very much Bank. I've now done a lot of reading and have drafted my Letter of Claim as attached. I look forward to your comments. 16Apr24 draft Letter of Claim against Parcel2Go.pdf16Apr24 draft Letter of Claim against Parcel2Go.pdf16Apr24 draft Letter of Claim against Parcel2Go.pdf
    • ive already CAREFULLY explained how it all works earlier. what you will have to pay is already preset and detailed on the court forms/TfL stuff you already have. you wont be asked any questions upon your financial means etc. thats not under debate . you wont be asked upon any mitigating circumstances, you have pleaded guity which you always SHOULD.  the ONLY 2 reasons you are attending is to: 1) after finding the TfL prosecutor... plead directly face to face before you go in to try and get an OOC (you can bring up or say anything/everything you like ...anything that might get them to agree) 2) if 1 fails...show your genuine remorse face to face to the magistrate, BRIEFLY mention how a criminal record would hinder your future then hope they take pity on you and dont also record this on your file.  PS its only declarable/shows there for one year anyway. regardless to what an employer might ask in job questionnaires past 1yrs you forget about it. they cannot see it even on enhanced DBS etc etc. you should not latterly ever appeal a criminal record for this type (1yrs)  of 'offence' its not worth it and if you lose said appeal it will cost your dear in terms of additional wages grabbing and court fees. and extends the time it shows if you lose too. dx  
    • hit letter of claim follow post 2 despite repeated requests, the claimant has failed to produce any enforceable paperwork.
    • FTMDave - your cold light of day suspicions are correct, alas. Just had this back... Thank you for your email. I was very sorry to learn that you recently received a parking charge notice after shopping at our Kearsley Manchester Rd Express store. I appreciate this is always frustrating, especially as you'd just nipped in for the one item. I've had a look, and I can confirm that in this case the car park at this store is entirely owned by a third party - it is not owned or operated by Tesco in any way. The parking charge issued is on behalf of that third party, although I appreciate it does state Tesco on the letter. Regrettably as the car park is owned and operated by a separate company we don't have any form of influence or control over the parking charges issued. In this case, I can only recommend that you follow the appeals process outlined on the letter directly to take the matter up with UKPPO directly. I'm sorry that I cannot offer further help in this case.  Please do not hesitate to contact me again should you require anything further.  Kind regards Ewan Kelly Customer Service Specialist On behalf of the Chief Executive’s Office

    • 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 have a question.

 

On the back of the credit agreement clause 14.9 says they can amend \ increase the charges for missing payments ect , as those charges are itemised in the contract that we have signed , is it legal for them to make that change ?

no i don't havent even got an agreement,must of got lost in the post!!

well if you have both not signed a loan agreement then there is little chance that you have signed the legal charge document and according o the legal charge document it has to be signed by both owners and witnessed before to be correctley executed and used as a legal charge. I would request from welcome all the documentation and if it does not arrive in the given time then i would go down the disclosre route that andie has taken with them. I dont think they have a legitimate contract for you and they know it.

Just seen this post apparently about an e-mail sent to employees in welcome:

 

An e-mail was sent around the company about further cost cutting ie stop using the 118 numbers and the company will save a small fortune. This was sent by Gary Edwards who has just been brought in by David Postings to help save the company.

 

The interesting thing though is certain other information was included in the previous e-mails he'd sent which for some reason were included in this e-mail.

 

Such as the company has been riding a shock wave over recent weeks and that what is to come is another shock wave.

 

He then goes on about a communication he is working on and the areas to be covered are....

 

Madrid (could some cattles employees confirm what this is)

cash collections

cost management

bonus deferment

 

Next few months - mobilise the project re TOM (again could an employee confirm what this is), continue discussions with banks, future focus dealing with local issues.

 

Something big is brewing but I cannot see any further news being released until the results come out.

 

Spot the words "Bonus deferment"?

I was just wondering if anyone knew the answer to this - If I put my account into dispute regarding the enforceability of the agreement then can they ask you for payment.

It is just we decided to do this last week and have had a call from complaints team to say it is welcome policy that payments should continue as and when they fall due while they investigate? is this true it is just I don't want to do anything to jepordise our house. I was under the impression that because the account is in dispute they can't ask for payment until investigation is complete:confused:

LMAO - the operative words there are "it is Welcomes policy that payments should continue"

 

If an account is in dispute...

 

they cannot ask for payment nor are you obliged to offer one

they cannot add further interest or charges nor pass the account to a 3rd party.

Lastly they cannot register this information with a credit reference agency nor can they issue a default.

Ok as you have paid more than 1/3 of the agreement they cannot 'just come and take the car' they would have to get a court order for that so please do not worry.

 

Were you given any rebate of this PPI - if so how much were you given? and did they just take this off the back end of the loan?

 

Have you sent either a CCA or SAR to get all your information off them as I bet you'll find a hefty whack of charges on their as well

sorry biddy, i may have missed something there, was your old loan secured and was the correct procedure carried out for that one, the reason i ask is that the security on your house may be from that loan and just not removed.

Disclosures are risky as if you lose you can be liable for MASSIVE costs - when does your SAR run out?

 

I would write back to them enclosing a copy of the CCA they sent and tell them you require the CURRENT CCA as this one is now invalidated.

 

I would also tell them if they are out of their 12+2 then the account is now in dispute - you can legally do this if they have not provided you with your CCA - the old one does not count!

Thank you Andie I thought this was the case but really just wanted to make sure - I suppose this is just another tactic to try and make me doubt myself and my rights.

 

I will just wait for the final response - many thanks again :)
