    • 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.

Cutting a very long story short.

 

Applying for ESA first time in January

two letters were enclosed with the ESA50 form requesting a home visit and recording for a ESA F2F assessment.

 

Received Maximus letter for ESA f2f assessment at beginning of April at one of their medical centres.

Rang Maximus and told them there was no letter from them to give the reasons why a home visit was not granted.

Was told by Maximus the DWP Decision Maker has disallowed the home visit.

 

Rang DWP and told them Maximus said the DM has refused a home visit and and asked the reasons why.

Was told by the DWP staff that is was wrong the DWP's DM do not make any decision with regards to home visit nor get involve with F2F assessment that is the job of Maximus their medical contractor.

 

Went back to Maximus and told them what DWP said the appointment was cancelled. Received couple of phone calls from Maximus requesting a letter from the GP to back up the home visit request.

 

GP faxed letter to Maximus stating cannot attend a f2f at a centre due to medical/clinical reasons.

Maximus confirmed by phone that they have received the GP supporting letter at the beginning of May 2018 and was told they will send a letter of their decision about the home visit by four different staff.

 

Received several letters to attend appointments at different dates from Maximus including a phone call to ring them very important and very urgently with regards to a f2f at their centre which was to take place some 3 weeks later strange.

 

Each time received a phone call two days before the appointments due date to cancel appointments because their recording machine is broken and that it will take a very long time before hearing from them.

 

Received another letter last week to attend yet another appointment at their centre at the beginning of July

but still received no letter with regards to the home visit whether it has been granted or refused.

 

 

Non of the cancellation letters stating appointments was cancelled because of broken recording machines it just said appointment rescheduled sorry for the inconvenience. Maximus has on record they've book for a Taxi as their making reasonable adjustment but send no letter stating that fact.

 

 

New appointment letter had not stated a Taxi has been booked for the appointment it just said please attend 10 minutes before the appointment time.

 

I'm looking for a template letter with regards to disability discrimination and harassment from Maximus/contractor and a sample letter under the equality act 2010 requesting a home visit with regards to Maximus making reasonable adjustments for a f2f assessment under the equality act.

 

Any help will be appreciated.

Begging your pardon I'm not on benzodiazepines the fact that it has many side effects which can compromise one's medical and will definitely make them fail if they are not aware or understand what the HCP asking of them.

 

If you cannot give a proper answer please do not give one at all.

Maximus must under the equality act make reasonable adjustments and not discriminate or disadvantage a person because of their disability.

Stress or not never give in to those contractors

 

I would urge any claimant to fight for their rights especially if their case is genuine.

Too many times people are either petrified of the dwp and their contractors and give way to them that gives those fraudsters the reasons to treat vulnerable people worse than animals.

No template letter on this site.

Suggest that you obtain your Doctors letter advising of the need for a home visit and not a F2F at an assessment centre.

Send the letter to the assessment centre and a copy to ESA for their records.

 

Problem with these assessments is that Maximus and ATOS have never had resources to handle the number of referrals made to them.

Begging your pardon but people with severe anxiety are usually prescribed benzodiazepines i was only suggesting you take them to go because part of the reason I got support group was because I took benzodiazepines to go to my assessment which the decision maker said I shouldn't have had to go to because I should have got another paperbased assessment like I did on my first claim.

A template letter is unlikely to be appropriate anyway.

It's probably best if you write in your own words why you are complaining. Keep it factual and simple. If you would like a second opinion, post your draft on here minus any identifying information and I'll be happy to look at it for you.

It's a while back now but I had to fight tooth and nail to get a home assessment and ATOS took 2 years and 11 cancelled appointments to get there so I do understand what you're going through, and if your GP says you need a home visit, then that is what you should get. Home assessments can also be recorded.

It worked with you and may not work with others besides I don't think I would tell my GP to prescribe me such and such medicine it won't look right. You receive benefit because you are not fit to work it shouldn't matter what medicine you are prescribe by your GP.

 

Why do you need a home visit.

You haven't actually said.

 

I have my genuine reasons. Don't want to sound rude but I'm a reserved person and not very good as sharing to much of my life history to the world.

I found exactly the template I was looking for from the citizen advice website.

 

Yes Maximus has accepted about the recording of my f2f.

 

Thanks for your reply.

I post a thread on here a while back.

 

I'm on Income Support was sent an ESA50 form by the DWP to claim ESA.

Filled in esa50 form requested a home f2f assessment and recording.

 

Maximus said dwp decision maker refused me home f2f assessment which was a lied cut a long story short after several cancellations of my f2f assessment being victimised, harassed, disadvantaged and still not allowing me a home f2f assessment I made a full complaint to Maximus the company.

 

Got complaint decision back by email they apologise multiple times even true to their word they would cancelled my f2f assessment if they didn't make their decision by the assessment date.

 

Received a letter from maximus they've cancelled the ESA f2f assessment itself and told me they've sent my esa50 form and file back to the dwp.

 

I haven't heard anything back from the dwp.

I got no intention of wanting to find out my income support payment is carrying on as normal why open a can of worm.

 

What I would like to know if anyone has had their esa f2f cancelled and their file sent back to dwp what was the outcome.

 

My gp has since put me on telephone call appointment only and so has the psychiatrist because I cannot leave the house due to severe anxiety and panic attacks.:-(
