    • 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 and that is absolutely – No. It's not part of the claim and if they want to settle then they settle the claim and don't 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 members of suggested above – it should be the final version. court, that I would respectfully requestup but 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.

i resigned from a job with immediate effect last monday and the company are witholding my wages for not working 2 weeks notice.

they provided me with a wage slip stating that i would revieve £351.46 net pay but they havent paid the money into my bank account. the amount has also been added to my total taxable earnings and no deductions are shown on my wage slip!

this is the clause in my contract.

 

 

If the Employee leaves his employment without giving full notice, or during his notice period without the written permission of the Company, the Company reserves the right to deduct a day’s pay for each day not worked during the Employee’s notice period. This may include a deduction of accrued wages, or other monies due to the Employee.

 

surely if my wage slip says i am being paid the amount and its gone on my taxable earnings they have to pay me?

Two wrongs dont make a right so you had better explain why it became impossible for you to continue your employment through a notice period. How long had you been employed before chucking the towel in?

When did this happen as they might be having problems with their salary run overlapping with your resignation.

Thier deduction of your monies due would only be lawful if they had to pay someone else to do your job and they can show that the walking off has caused then a loss of some sort. You would also have soem holiday pay to consider so how is that adressed as you could say that the notice would have included holday that hadnt been taken.

i was with the company for just under 9 mths and would rather not say why i resigned.

 

Are you asking them for pay for work you have done, or pay for the 2 weeks where you hadn't given them notice and haven't worked?

You would like us to tell you that you are entitled to be paid for work that you have done, based on no information? You don't even know that any deduction has been made, according to what you have posted. Money not arriving in your bank account when you expect it to could be explained by a whole range of reasons which are perfectly legitimate - and which may in fact include withholding the money for legitimate reasons. For all we know you resigned because you had been defrauding the company, stole the takings, and ran off with the design of the new secret development. In which case not getting paid would be understandable and the least of your worries. So, for obvious reasons, the reason that you resigned would certainly be relevant to any opinion - as would the employers explanation of why you haven't received money that you claim to be owed. You did ask them, right? Because step one of any potential claim for money on your part would be "first, ask the employer why you didn't get paid". Then, if that reason is not legitimate you send a letter before action, and only if that doesn't work can you take it further.

 

So when you asked the employer this question, they said what?

have they had to employ an agency worker to cover your job for the last fortnight? What holiday have you taken so far this year? What is your holiday year cycle? Help us on things like this ansd we can offer more substantial advice on the rest of thier claim that you dont get anything because you broke their contract. It may be that they owe you more than you are asking for and there was no breach at all so it amounts to unlawful deduction of pay. The more we know about things the easier it becomes so quote the exact wording of the contract etc.

i did not run off with any takings or steal anything, ive asked to be paid and HR sent me an email reminding me of a clause in my contract which i added to my first post.

 

Ok. So we now know what they didn't do and what you didn't do. Come on now, do you really think we can advise you in a vacuum? I have already told you the formal process - that is what it is. And we can't tell you anything more unless you want to talk to us. If you don't want to help us to help you, you need to go some place where you can get advice without telling them any information. I don't know where that place is.

But the OP wants it all to be a secret. Oops, make that a BIG secret.

 

Come on, use your psychic abilities!

 

Is that a grinding noise I hear? Oh dear, the gearbox on the crystal ball has failed. Now, how will we be able to help people who can't be bothered to provide the information necessary to avoid giving them unreliable advice?

But seriously, that's the issue isn't it? The OP tells us a fraction of the story, we tell them something, and following the advice lands them in greater trouble. There is obviously a big picture here - "leaving with immediate effect" when you need to keep it all secret - that just begs the question "how much more trouble can you get into".

OK, what about your holiday entitlement you accrued since the beginning of the year etc? Give us somehting we can use to help you because at the moment we have nothing to discuss other than you had a contract and you might have broken it and the last wage slip doesnt match your bank account receipts. We dont even know what the company normal salary run date is so you might not be due anything until the 30th june anyway.

Your statement of starting a new job the next day suggests that at some point near the end of your employemnt at the oldco you were interviewed for this new job, received and accepted an offer of employment and then just didnt give the rquired notice to oldco.. That may be an unpopular move but we still need to know about contract etc to offer an opinion on the lawfulness of withholding pay

Did you resigned or were you dismissed?

 

Yet, the first line of the first post was:

i resigned from a job with immediate effect last monday

 

The OP not only resigned, but did so without working their notice.
