    • Your attachment showing the cinema parking restrictions seems crystal clear. Let's see what the photos turn up.
    • Meter certification periods re given in The Meters (Certification) Regulations 1998, Schedule 4. From there you can check if they are correct about your specific meter .. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1998/1566/schedule/4 If they're telling porkies then you have e clear grounds to tell them to take  hike. If they're correct or if you haven't been able to confirm then you have  few options. You could just keep fobbing them off. In general Octopus can't keep up with demand for smart meters. It took 9 months to get our. So they may not push too hard. Or ask if you can install your own choice of meter. The Electricity Act 1989 cover this in Schedule 7 (2) and (2A) https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1989/29/schedule/7 Or fight the them and their enforcement. Or go off supply.
    • We received a copy of the completed Directions Questionnaire (N181) from the solicitors along with a draft copy of their directions. I am on a course today so can upload over the weekend if needed. By 4pm on 16th May both parties must each give standard disclosure of documents by way of list by category. By 4pm on 30th May any request for inspection or copies of docs must be made and compiled 14 days thereafter. I will provide more over the weekend.
    • Have you asked for advice from your students union people? HB
    • I (and other respondents) always advise “not getting caught in a lie” it hardens their response. Why would they now believe protestations of remorse and “I won’t do it again” if they've already seen you'd lie and say it was a one-off when it wasn't..  You can try approaching the prosecutor on the day, but "I wouldn't hold my breath" …..

    • 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.

Hello Everybody,

I have an RBS cash card acoount but i do not use this card for nearly 3 years for i have another bank account i am currently using. 3 years ago i moved anotehr address and i notified all my banks and credit card companies about address change including RBS. At that time i had 15 pound in my account.

 

However two month ago i got a call from them telling me i owe them 275 pounds for overdraft charges. I asked how did happened, they told me nearly one year ago AA tried to get money from my account using a direct debit mandate. Then they charged me 28 pounds for overdraft since there is not enough fund in my account. then sent a letter to my previous account, of course i did not get it, then they charge me every month since then.

 

AA side is another story. one year before i got a road recovery contaract with them and paid all cash. However they asked my bank details, actually i did not see any proplem with this, english is my sec language and i am not good rewading small print. I think they use this account to ask money from RBS altough i did not renew my contract with them.

 

at the end i refused to pay the money. It is unfair and for me day time robbery. . On the phone they always use an abusive language and try bully me to paying it straight away. what should i do any help will be appreciated. thank you for everything

Firstly, do not speak to them on the phone. If they call you, refuse to answer their security questions and insist that everything must be in writing. If you don't talk to them, they can't bully you.

 

Do you have all your statements covering this period, or where they sent to your old address too?

Thank you for your answer, i do not have any statement, for they send my all statements send my previous address. However i got a statement from my local branch it shows there the only transactions are those bank charges.

 

They contacted me after ten months over my phone number. hey should have contacted me after first month. Anyway, now i got a letter 2 days ago to my last address, asking me pay 450 pound otherwise they threaten me to file a default and do necessary things to recover the debt.

 

I do not believe that it is my debt. what should i do? i do not want them to list me as defaulted for it might affect my relations with other banks and institutions. can they get this money from me through courts?

 

do you know any law company to take this on legal aid? please help
