    • Post Office scandal expert Moorhead predicts solicitor strike-offs Richard Moorhead, professor of law and professional ethics at the University of Exeter and a prolific writer on the Horizon scandal, said it was ‘highly likely’ that people would be removed from the profession. He added that he also expects one or two individuals to face criminal prosecutions. He was ‘cautiously supportive’ of the Solicitors Regulation Authority's position of waiting until the public inquiry has finished before taking any decisions on disciplinary proceedings, saying the regulator has been doing a lot of investigatory work behind the scenes. But Moorhead said the SRA should provide ‘greater clarity and detail’ about what it is doing currently.   Professor Richard Moorhead predicts strike-offs over Post Office Horizon scandal | Law Gazette WWW.LAWGAZETTE.CO.UK Lawyers have been 'everywhere' in the scandal, Professor Richard Moorhead tells legal ethics conference.
    • If this goes to court, you'll be asked to declare your earnings. Any fine is a percentage of what you earn per week.  
    • Hi Dx, HB can you share the link of Tireddodo's case thread , may be i can learn something from there?  
    • As i don't have any mitigating circumstances other than trying to save pennies, will they fine me to the maximum? What is the maximum fine they will impose? I honestly don't know how many times i use it.  I will get a criminal record which means i can't find another job? Will they prosecute my partner?   
    • Yes. They won't inform your employer but you may need to. You need to check what it says iin your employment contract. I don't think it usually causes huge problems for most people. HB

    • 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.

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

I rang halifax and checked the number they confirmed this is right

just writing my complaint now .. i hope they look into it and resolve things

 

I don't understand why they wouldn't me not do the income expenditure on my own and only accept it over phone ..

 

she inferred that they would accept my proposal if I did that as it would help me.

I said I was exhausted mentally but wouldn't let me off the phone and made out she had all the power and had already done me a favour bug lowering the amount of payment they wanted to stop the eviction

I have a secured loan with another provide they have a bad reputation and even they have never acted this way to me

 

How on earth do I get them to accept my proposal

 

The complaints team called and said it was serious at this point so talks and phone calls had to be done in this way as I was at the point of losing the house.

 

They asked me if I was going to pay the £2100

I said I hadn't decided yet if I would do that as I was most likely going to put in an N244

she asked why again ???

 

I am unsure what to do from here.

 

My proposal is £1000 upfront and the Future payments of the cmp as I was told they would capitalise the rest of the arrears

They aren’t looking into the complaint further as they said they have done every they should..

. what do I do from here

 

That should read they said they have done all they should as it’s a very grave Time for me so they should of course discuss the account and my finances and my health at such great detail.

 

I want them to accept my proposal without me going to court..

is it likely if they are threatened with me getting the phone recordings

I would be writing a letter of complaint to the MD on the way you appears to be being treated

state also that you refuse to now communicate over the phone following the harassment and abuse you have suffered

not by email.

Made the mistake of putting the post on money saving expert to be told Halifax are right and my mental health has no bearing on whether I can pay my mortgage or not etc!

 

 

I feel like saying it’s not cut and dried !

If life was perfect I would have been paying

 

Also if I have a complaint with ombudsman does the eviction get delayed till it is resolved ?????

Apologies ... I have had eviction date set for 2nd Oct for arrears with mortgage . Brief explanation... I have 9k arrears and spent 2 hrs at one point on phone to Halifax ... they wouldn’t let me do income expenditure over phone, they made me send every bank statement for last 4 months and interrogated me on every spend .. they told me I’d have a payment plan if I didn’t it this way the. Said no and I’d have to pay £2100 .. I said I can pay £1000 as £2100 would mean I couldn’t meet the next payment and I really want to get on track with it . I complained and was called back next day by Halifax who said because my situation was grave I was spoken to in the appropriate way and she would put that in writing and send it out. I said I will complain further for the harassment.
