    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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 hope I can explain this so you understand, My mother past away on the 30th of January 2018.

 

Pension was originally paid to my father until his death where a part pension was then paid to my mother.

 

She was until 20 months ago receiving the pension payment that was stopped by Capita because they didn’t receive a response to a letter they sent her. I guess it was a prove your still alive letter but that’s just a guess on my part.

 

County Council social services department contacted Capita to inquire as to the missing payments and they advised that a family member needed to send a change of address to capita which was done on a couple of occasions. No acknowledgement or response at all to these letters. Payments have not been made for 20 months despite no change in bank details.

 

My mother was placed into a nursing home two years ago suffering from dementia and relied on that pension payment to pay her residential care needs and was assessed by social services using her pension payment from them included in that assessment.

Not receiving payments resulted in financial hardship up to the day she died.

 

I was not made aware of any of this until my mum passed away. I intend to claim back all money not paid to her until her death. Where it can at least go somewhere to paying some of the funeral costs.

 

Any thoughts on this from my good friends here on CAG.

 

Cheers.

Hello there. I'm very sorry to hear about your mum.

 

I agree with you, it sounds as if Capita didn't receive a 'prove you're alive' letter, but I would have expected them to send reminders. I also think they should pay what your mother was due.

 

Are you the only person dealing with this now [best to stick to one person] and have you spoken to Capita? They're going to want to see a death certificate, I imagine,

Hi,

Thanks,

Yes I am the one dealing with this now and should have been the one from the start but I am now the only one dealing with this matter. I have written to the pension fund manager with copy to Capita threatening pension ombudsman if i didn't get a response. Both have responded now saying they are investigating.

 

Not sure what the hell there is to investigate. They didn't pay what they were supposed to and records will show why and when. I did supply death certificate so they have everything they need. Apparently its going to take them at least a further two weeks and maybe more to investigate.

 

 

I don't know about you but i think there is a very clear and very simple answer to this. Pay what you owe and stop playing around wasting pension fund money on red tape and pointless investigations.

 

 

My post here was just to get feelings from you guys and maybe point out what if anything i might be doing wrong. I also felt DX100uk would probably tell me to claim compensation :-) but to be honest i would be happy to get back just what was owed and leave trail here for others that might find themselves in the same situation

 

Anything else at this point you think i should do? or just wait and see?

Hello again.

 

My OH has dealt with this type of situation in the past. He normally sends two or three letters, the last one being by Signed For and saying that payments will stop if there is no reply within x amount of time. He also says that no interest is paid on the missed payments when they're brought up to date.

 

I'll ask him what he thinks is taking time with Capita when I can and what he might suggest you do next.

Just to update for anyone interested now or in the future.

 

It was as suspected that the pension was stopped due to the prove you're alive letter not being returned.

Capita and the environment agency conducted a full investigation and supplied details of what they did and even admitted that a letter we sent was not acted upon.

 

All money owed to the time of my mothers death has now been paid into her estate and the matter is now closed.

 

Turned out to be easier than expected if a little long winded :-)

Thanks all especially HB
