The 'award' on the home page is quite misleading as most visitors would think it was some kind of endorsement when it's nothing of the kind.

Unfortunately the useless Advertising Standards Authority aren't accepting complaints about UKS&S or in fact any copycat website at all now.

I am really starting to like this due.... hes really good

In a future run by our robot army, he definitely could be human minister of propaganda, Or, DoH, its obvious, the perfect position for him,

I am flattered by the fact that passport profiteer Richard Howard has taken time out from ripping off many users of his emergency passport appointment service (British Passport Services) to write a colourful report on my career for his website.

It’s a ‘service’ that has attracted widespread criticism as many people have been intimidated by Howard (through the issuing of threatening County Court claims) into paying for services they did not want or receive.

Howard’s report is more amusing than defamatory as he questions my intelligence (I do that all the time) and describes some of my money advice as bizarre. But best of all is a straw poll that Howard conducted earlier this month among the good people of Wimbledon in South-West London. He asked 100 shoppers whether The Mail on Sunday’s articles on BPS had influenced their decision to use his company. Some 88 per cent responded by saying ‘who the hell is Jeff Prestridge?’

Most amusing. But it still doesn’t detract from the fact, Mr Howard, that you should really be focusing your energies on running a reputable business.

Has anyone noticed this one yet (one of RH's Facebook 'likes) https://www.facebook.com/pages/Briti...40?sk=timeline
The 'company' (website here http://www.britishpassportsuk.co.uk) has been going since 2007 ... maybe this is where RH got the idea for BPS from

Yes, AvidUser - who actually started this thread xxx We weren't sure if he was going to be able to attend the hearing or not as he was working overseas.

AvidUser won in court this morning - no valid contract formed more details later...

Re: UK Services & Support Ltd BRITISHPassportServices Copycat Website issues DISCUSSI

AvidUser won in court this morning - no valid contract formed more details later...

Would that be something to do with not clicking on the "PAY" button and therefore not given explicit acknowledgement of the need to pay and as such had therefore withdrew their contractual offer and therefore not entered into a contract?

Congratulations Aviduser :tinysmile_twink_t2:

Re: UK Services & Support Ltd BRITISHPassportServices Copycat Website issues DISCUSSI

He did click the 'pay now' button but his card was declined.

Thing is RH argues that you agree to the terms before you reach the pay now stage and that the payment terms are 72 hours.

Re: UK Services & Support Ltd BRITISHPassportServices Copycat Website issues DISCUSSI

We don't have much detail at the mo .... however this was in his Skeleton argument ... and obviously it was backed up with his Witness Statement filed previously

1. The Defendant submits that without being misled into believing the Claimant’s website was the official HMPO he would not have chosen to pay a third party £117.60 to book an otherwise free appointment for him at his local passport office. Rather he would have telephoned the official HMPO himself (as indeed he did after leaving the Claimant’s website) on an 0300 telephone number and booked the appointment himself.

1. The Defendant did not enter into a contract with the Claimant.

1. No payment was made and therefore there was no consideration which is a pre-requisite to a contract being formed.

Re: UK Services & Support Ltd BRITISHPassportServices Copycat Website issues DISCUSSI

Ahh yes, i think Avid user actually PM'd me and i did advise him that payment being declined would mean the offer was therefore declined as a result of the payment being declined. Or something along those lines.

Hello all

Well that's right I "won" the claim against me was dismissed.

Admins please feel free to delete some of this if you think it would help RH.

So I attended today RH didn't. The judge asked me a few questions, firstly just explain why I was on the site what I thought I was getting from the site. Essentially the first sections of my Witness statement.

She asked did the website look like the claimant says it did when you applied, I said no.

That was pretty much it.

Then I go out wait 10 minutes and come back in. She then read her verdict.

The bits I could remember and write down.

He had not complied with Part 27 civil procedure rules and that bothered her, she went on that it seemed his entire case seemed very generic.

"She said there was no intention to create legal relations and therefore no valid contract"

I think in the end how the site looked was less important than contract law.


During my "defense" I brought up the section of distance selling that teaboy2 brought up. She said that wasn't relevant as that law was made after June. I didn't quite understand that but.

So it's the contract for SURE just not the exact bit.

Thats all she wrote I am afraid, it was a bit of a blur to be honest, I wasn't prepared very well as my son was born Friday and had a few issues, I literally left court drove to the Hospital and picked him up, brought him home and now I write this.

Happy to answer questions but as I say it was a blur. Thanks

Re: UK Services & Support Ltd BRITISHPassportServices Copycat Website issues DISCUSSI

Thanks for that.

I wonder which bit of part 27 she was referring to as there's quite a few sections https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/pr...l/rules/part27

I think what she meant by ''no intention to create legal relations and therefore no valid contract'' is that you didn't give your informed consent to enter into any contract.

I'm not sure on the distance selling regs and 1 June but [MENTION=6]Amethyst[/MENTION] will know.

Anyway you did great and don't feel you have to stick around and answer any more questions from us, go and spend your time with your boy.
