    • Thank you for that "read me", It's a lot to digest, lots of legal procedure. There was one thing that I was going to mention to you,  but in one of the conversations in that thread it was mentioned that there may be spies on the Forum,  this is something that I've read quite some time ago in a previous thread. What I had in mind was to wait for the thirty days after their reply to my CCA request and then send the unenforceable letter. I was hoping that an absence of signature could be the Silver Bullet but it seems that there are lot of layers to peel on this Onion.  
    • love the extra £1000 charge for confidentialy there BF   Also OP even if they don't offer OOC it doesn't mean your claim isn't good. I had 3 against EVRi that were heard over the last 3 weeks. They sent me emails asking me to discontinue as I wouldn't win. Went infront of a judge and won all 3.    Just remember the law is on your side. The judges will be aware of this.   Where you can its important to try to point out at the hearing the specific part of the contract they breached. I found this was very helpful and the Judge made reference to it when they gave their judgements and it seemed this was pretty important as once you have identified a specific breach the matter turns straight to liability. From there its a case of pointing out the unlawfullness of their insurance and then that should be it.
    • I know dx and thanks again for yours and others help. I was 99.999% certain last payment was over six years ago if not longer.  👍
    • Paragraph 23 – "standard industry practice" – put this in bold type. They are stupid to rely on this and we might as well carry on emphasising how stupid they are. I wonder why they could even have begun to think some kind of compelling argument – "the other boys do it so I do it as well…" Same with paragraph 26   Paragraph 45 – The Defendants have so far been unable to produce any judgements at any level which disagree with the three judgements…  …court, but I would respectfully request…   Just the few amendments above – and I think it's fine. I think you should stick to the format that you are using. This has been used lots of times and has even been applauded by judges for being meticulous and clear. You aren't a professional. Nobody is expecting professional standards and although it's important that you understand exactly what you are doing – you don't really want to come over to the judge that you have done this kind of thing before. As a litigant in person you get a certain licence/leeway from judges and that is helpful to you – especially if you are facing a professional advocate. The way this is laid out is far clearer than the mess that you will get from EVRi. Quite frankly they undermine their own credibility by trying to say that they should win simply because it is "standard industry practice". It wouldn't at all surprise me if EVRi make you a last moment offer of the entire value of your claim partly to avoid judgement and also partly to avoid the embarrassment of having this kind of rubbish exposed in court. If they do happen to do that, then you should make sure that they pay everything. If they suddenly make you an out-of-court offer and this means that they are worried that they are going to lose and so you must make sure that you get every penny – interest, costs – everything you claimed. Finally, if they do make you an out-of-court offer they will try to sign you up to a confidentiality agreement. The answer to that is absolutely – No. It's not part of the claim and if they want to settle then they settle the claim as it stands and don't try add anything on. If they want confidentiality then that will cost an extra £1000. If they don't like it then they can go do the other thing. Once you have made the amendments suggested above – it should be the final version. court,. I don't think we are going to make any more changes. Your next job good to make sure that you are completely familiar with it all. That you understand the arguments. Have you made a court familiarisation visit?
    • just type no need to keep hitting quote... as has already been said, they use their own criteria. if a person is not stated as linked to you on your file then no cant hurt you. not all creditors use every CRA provider, there are only 3 main credit file providers mind, the rest are just 3rd party data sharers. if you already have revolving credit on your file there is no need to apply for anything just 'because' you need to show you can handle money. if you have bank account(s) and a mortgage which you are servicing (paying) then nothing more can improve your score, despite what these 'scam' sites claiml  its all a CON!!

    • 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 Guys,

 

Anyone been on contribution based JSA for 6 months and then went onto income based allowance? Girl at the job centre said you need to apply whats the chances of you getting it? And will it be more or less than what you currently get? Is there the back to work scheme after 6 months on contribution based allowance?

 

Thanks.

Whether you get it would depend on you, and your partner's (if you have a partner) income, and capital. It's £64.30 per week for a single person and £100.95 for a couple. If your income is more than the applicable amounts, you won't qualify, nor will you qualify if your savings are above £16000.00.

 

If you have savings of £6000.00 or less, they won't affect your entitlement to income based JSA.

 

If you have savings of between £6000.00 and £16000.00, they amount of JSA you would receive would be reduced £1 per week for every £250.00 (or part thereof) between £6000.00 and £16000.00.

 

After 6 months of contribution based JSA, your contributions are "exhausted" and you are no longer entitled to contribution based JSA. Once you have been receiving income based JSA for 6 months or more, your jobsearch will be expected to be widened and you will be expected to do more to find work, which may include being placed in programmes designed to support this.

My advice is based on my opinion, my experience and my education. I do not profess to be an expert in any given field. If requested, I will provide a link where possible to relevant legislation or guidance, so that advice provided can be confirmed and I do encourage others to follow those links for their own peace of mind.

Hi.

 

Ive just gone from CB JSA to IB JSA and it went (quite) smoothly, I had a group meeting at the 6 month point and it was all mostly sorted then, then was a cockup when my payment didnt arrive in my bank as expected so I phoned up and it arrived 3 days later.

 

I didnt have to re-apply or anything, I was automatically elligible, being single and having no savings.

My question was will I have to reapply for IB JSA or will it go over automatically as Andy has put it as the jobcentre have already got my details?

That's good to hear puts my mind at rest. When was this done this year? Rules change all the time. What sort of group meeting was it? Glad your on IB JSA lots of benefits you get dentist, free £2k education courses, prescription medicine, glasses, books etc

 

Kind of. ESA© doesn't expire (exhaust) the way JSA© does. If you're entitled to the contributory benefit when you claim, you'll continue to be entitled to it as long as you meet the generic conditions for ESA - there is no six month limit.

 

If you need to claim means-tested ESA, then the rules about income and capital are broadly the same as JSA.

 

All the people on DLA are now classified as contribution based ESA and means tested ESA?

I'm not sure I understand the question. DLA and ESA are paid for different purposes. It is perfectly possible to be in receipt of both.

I have. Moved over to Income based about July. It was very straightforward although I seem to remember taking in up to date bank statements. I didn't have to do any group meetings or back to work schemes but that might be because there aren't any places in my area. I did start temping just after though so that might be why.

 

I'm single, also claiming HB and CT.

According to one of the advisers there unless there misleading me you have to reapply for your job seekers allowance rather than switching over told me to inquire nearer to the time in March.

 

Not looking forward to this at all. I mean I feel I may not get it as they will come out with some absurd reason.

Hi,

 

I am wondering if it is a good idea to start the application process of JSA before being terminated from employment, which is expected? Won't the job centre question why I applied on a certain date before termination if it did happen? Usually they want a exceptional reason why you didn't apply right after you get terminated?

 

Thx.

They would class this as a claim in advance which is not allowed for JSA claims.

What you are supposed to do is claim from the day following your termination of employment or as soon after as is possible.

Hi,

 

I am wondering if you would be entitled to a disability element on JSA CB/IB if you have been effected by a non physical injury whilst on duty which has a long term effect and your contracted has ended due to this and in getting other type of work in your sector than what you have done in the past basically meaning harder to gain employment outwith your regular field? Is their any allowances for that? This is backed up by a doctors line.

 

Thanks.

As far as I am aware from my old processing days, only a claim to DLA or another benefit such as Indutrial Injuries Disablement Benefit would attract a disability premium for JSA or if you had a partner who was receiving or had an underlying entitlement to these benefits or long term incapacity benefit or ESA.

Thanks Nystafmite has just posted the link from Direct Gov and I forgot about the part of being regitered as blind sorry.

Direct Gov says:

 

If you are aged under 60, you may be able to get this premium if any of the following applies:

you receive Disability Living Allowance

you receive Incapacity Benefit - long term rate

you receive Severe Disablement Allowance

you are provided with an invalid vehicle

you receive payments through the invalid vehicle scheme, or war pensioners vehicle scheme

the mobility component of your Disability Living Allowance is being paid directly to Motability Operations

you are registered blind

your partner is receiving any of the above

your partner is receiving Attendance Allowance

You may also get the disability premium if you're incapable of employment (or receiving Statutory Sick Pay) for at least 364 days. Or 196 days if you're terminally ill. Periods of incapacity separated by 56 days or less can be linked together when calculating the qualifying period.

Hi,

 

I am unsure which one to apply for as my 28 week SSP is coming to an end. I am about to be terminated due to illness, which prevents me from doing my current role, but I am able to work in other types of work but not what my profession is used to?

 

Thanks.

if you can do any work for at least 16 hours a week, it's JSA. If you can't do any work, it's ESA.

 

What happens if a person falls between the gap here, the 1 to 15 hours a week? This is the area that always confuses me. The last couple of ESA Tribunals I had, the DWP submissions all gave the impression that ESA is for people who cannot work at all. If that was the case, surely we wouldn't have the WRAG?

They will need to be recent ones. Does her wage not get paid into the bank? If it does I would take your bank statement to show the amounts being paid in. When is your meeting and when is her boss back? Is there no-one else in the company that could even write a letter confirming her hours worked and her wage?
