    • He is still trading.   I won't get anything out of it, no.  But is that the point?  Not charging it means the Govt misses out on important revenue 
    • for whatever reason, if you did not get the original PCN on the car/by hand nor in the post before things escalated you need to appeal using the correct forms, not a soft appeal to the issuing council Which forms to use for which offence pe2/3 & te7/9 - Local Authority Parking and Traffic Offences - Consumer Action Group  
    • as this situation has now come up again for you, how confident are you that if you get on the straight and narrow with having a respite of 60days (Options for dealing with your debts: Breathing Space (Debt Respite Scheme) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)... would you then be able to resume ok? if not quite honestly, the very best thing you can do is to get ALL your debts defaulted by the issuance of and the registering of a Default Notice from each creditor. this is done by stopping ALL PAYMENTS, it wont hurt you short term, esp as all the debts are still with the Original Creditors. this of course will kill credit for 6yrs, but, will cause the debts to vanish from your file (paid or not, paying or not) on the DN's 6th B'day, but of course that wont mean the debts are not still owed, legally, just your file will be clear of them all. if you read a good 10-20 of the stories in this very same forum you found to start yours, you'll soon get the idea behind the advice given. as for things like IVA/BK etc NEVER EVER do those, that secures unsecured debt. just contact one of the free DMP providers and get breathing space implemented, that gives you a 60 day buffer to firm up your future actions. but DO NOT enter into a DMP, do one yourself. they can be a bit pushy, but simply insist you just want breathing space invoked, i would only be giving them enough info to achieve BS too, don't give them anything you don't need too, they are funded by the banks and debt collectors and can sometimes be over intrusive and nosy wanting info that is better not revealed. dx    
    • “Not realising it was a no parking zone” doesn’t help you if the timing is correct, as (at least, on Google Maps / View) there is clear signage ('7am to midnight', parked at 15:22) What might be worth pursuing is the "ticket handed to driver" aspect : do you have any view on why they would be  stating that?

    • 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 all, im an avid poker fan and play live with friends when i can. have been playing online for a few years now with various companies. more recently WILLHILL, but i find that its more a game of snap online and so asked them via email to close my account and remove me instantly from any/all email subscriptions and asked them aswell not to email again.

 

They replied saying they wanted, name, address, contact number, account number, bank details etc etc

 

i said unless they was going to pay me for my time in providing such information when it is on their system then not to expect me to do so and just request the account that i opened with the email be closed.

 

but they refused to do so. i have now said to them that under responsible gaming that if a customer requests an account to be closed then it should be done without question or hesitation.

 

ive asked them not to contact me and said that if they contact me again after requesting to be removed from mail-outs that their emails would be unsolicited and i would report them to the relevant authority.

 

i cant be arsed with all this, all i want is my account closed as ive asked and that they do so with out any further contact.

 

why wont they just do this simple request?

 

i can and will remove the program but i want to know that i will not use them in the future.

Hi Foo...

Is there an address you can write to...? I know its an online thing but surely they have an address? Head Office..?? Anything like that...

If so write to them stating that you want to close your account. Also explain that you have tried to close it online but you keep getting fobbed off..

I am not sure how money is taken from your account to pay for the online bets but could you cancel that...?? With the bank that is...

This has probably not been at all helpful...if not soooorrry!

I have to say it seems like a fairly simple request designed to stop other people making changes to your account.

 

Personally I would provide the information and be thankfull they were being so diligant with my account subscription.

indeed i see your point, but im asking for account to be closed. no transfer is being requested or any other financial payment being made. i feel that if my account isnt closed i may well use them again when really i dont want to lose money to them anymore. when setting up the account it was all done online in a matter of moments. The only correspondence they have with me is through email, So to me it seems natural to end my activities with them via the same way i started with them.

 

its no major hassle but i want to be sure i dont gamble on their site again, by having the account closed i will then not be tempted to use them again. im trying to protect myself if anything.

 

no worries guys.

I think your admitting here that you haven't the willpower to resist an online flutter.

If they do close your account, and it only takes moments to set up, can you honestly say you wont sign up again in the future?

Hello.

I am also with william hill and some other gaming sites, when you request your account to be closed, there will do this,and you should get a e.mail messge reading as follows from them. " We can inform you that the details registered are fully blocked in our

system. However this cannot be erased for a minimum period of 7 years as

a legal requirement from data protection compliance".

 

Or if you might think you want to use the account again, then request an self exclusion, this will just temporary close the account for a period of 6 mths or more. you should get a e.mail which reads as follows. As stated in our rules, the Self Exclusion facility will remain in

force

> for a minimum of six months; after that time you may reactivate your

> account by contacting us again. We can offer a Self Exclusion for

All gaming sites offer ways of closing accounts, even if you just choose a self exclusion, least you have a opition of reopening in the future should you want.

You sound like a really seriously addicted gambler.....

 

Do what they say, think about it positively. They only want your account information so they can close your account, which in turns solves your problem and makes you happier.
