    • Hi, I am a local authority tenant and was in a 3 bed house. At the end of last year, my last child moved out and so did my spouse as we are now going through a divorce which meant that I was in the house alone and decided that I needed to downsize not only for myself but to offer the property to a family that needed it. I registered on the local authority housing bidding site as i was asked to do and I was accepted and given a priority banding as I was downsizing and they were desperate for my house. I have been extremely lucky and after about 6 weeks was accepted for a new build from a housing association via the housing gateway. I viewed the property 2 weeks ago and had to sign the tenancy last week when they were doing bulk signups for the houses and that is the day I moved. In between viewing and sign up, I contacted my current local authority landlord and asked how I give notice as I had been accepted for a property I had bid on and was moving.  The lady told me how to do it online and then said that I needed to give a full weeks notice which wasnt a problem as I had enough time.  (I was also told a weeks notice was what i would need to give by another staff member about a month ago when I phoned up for another housing related question.  I dont have any of this in writing.) I have now moved, handed back the keys and I am now being told that I need to give 4 weeks notice which I cannot afford. I hav e spoken to the council again explaining that I was told a week and that to be honest, if I knew they were going to charge me 4 weeks I would not have been able to move and would have stayed in the other house.  I thought I was doing the right thing. They said that calls are recorded and they asked me when I called in and was told a week and they would listen to the telephone conversation and if it was correct what I was told, they would see what they could do to reduce the notice period. They have now emailed me back and said that they have listened to the conversation and the lady said 4 weeks notice and I am liable for 4 weeks rent.  Now I may well of misheard her when I thought she said a full weeks notice she may have said 4 weeks notice but I am sure she said a full weeks notice and i was told a week by another member of staff a few weeks ago. I have emailed her back and said that I may of misheard but I would like to listen to the phone recording myself.  As yet they havent responded. I think its unreasonable for them to make me give 4 weeks when I had to sign the new tenancy with little notice or loose the property.  And it was all done through their gateway, and they will have a tenant in there pretty much straight away getting rent from them. I am on a very low income, I am on my own, I have serious medical issues and I am really getting myself stressed out over this. Any advice would be so appreciated.  Can I insist they let me listed to the recording? RH  
    • Susan Crichton is at the Inquiry today. She seems to have trouble remembering a lot of things but seems to find it easier if it's something that shows her in a good light.
    • Send them a letter of claim straightaway. No point hanging around. Given 14 days in the letter of claim and if they haven't paid you by then, issue the claim on day 15. The amount of time is more than adequate for them to get going. Post your draft letter of claim here. A look at. Then log onto the MoneyClaim website and start preparing your claim and post your particulars of claim here for us to have a look at. Don't bluff. No point in it.
    • That's what we thought, but the store manager is inferring that, as the jeweller we used was not a member of the NJA, no one  would give what he said, any credence. The Jeweller we used is in fact, a long established, well respected company, with 2 store and rather than just being a retailer, they craft the most exquisite jewellery inhouse!  I wish my Fiancé would have bought from them rather than H Samuel! Do you think we do need to get another report from and NJA accredited Jeweller ?
    • Really pleased that you won. UKPC know that you have supremacy of contract but still they persist because so many motorists blindly pay them.   Muppets.

    • 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.

Had own business 1980/93; accounts and loans with RBS.

RBS banking malpractices from 1992 incl:

errors in processing cheques/overpayments and duplication of Standing Orders.

Overcharging on accounts.

Dishonouring loan agreements.

Had Business Insurance to cover loans and finances with RBS; policies held by RBS as security and no copy ever given to self. Policies in place for 12 years.

Finances disturbances created by RBS made it impossible for me to continue to trade and sold business in 1993. RBS took all proceedes and:

 

a. RBS dishonoured Insurance policies and even refused to acknowledge their existance until 2002.

b. took my wife's 50% share of our former house and without her affidavit or signed consent. (RBS admit no such affidavit or agreement).

 

Have never received from RBS audit to accoujt for the disposal of our funds.

 

RBS do admit in writing to us their errors, even their CEO admits, but still after 13 years they refuse to compensate despite our vigourous efforts direct to RBS and through many official UK systems.

 

Exposed to extremely cruel bullying over the years from many in RBS when trying to sort this out.

 

WE keep fighting. WE have to because RBS have ruined our finances, took our home, mis-sold and failed to honour insurance policcies and we have been exposed to himan distress and suffering for over 13 years by and because of RBS.

More information to the new News that we posted on 31 Jan. 2007 about our case of 13 years against RBS.

 

In our efforts to resolve the case, not only direct to RBS, we have been to many Official UK systems, including Ombudsman ("beyond our remit" - "do'nt trouble us"), PM's Office, Chancellor of Exchequer (no reply), Treasury, Trade and Industry (seven different replies all passing the ball from one to another with no action); Even the law has let us down - a rogue Solicitor mishandled the case and allowed it to run out of laegal time without registering action. The Solicitor has been struck off from Legal practice bty the LawSociety to whom we claimed against but they refuse to compensate us.

 

WE appealed to our MP, Michael Howard as RBS is the Conservative Party Banker but to no avail. We also appealed to David Cameron. Nobody wants to get involved.

 

Ongoinginly we write to the RBS CEO, Sir Fred Goodwin and ovver the years we have had little reponse except one letter saying they admit the problems - but do nothing about it. On one occasion, in 2005, RBS wrote and said that any further correspondence from us would be "returned unopened". We then contactred our MP who wrote to RBS to get them to reply to us - which they did via the MP! - but agian, doing nothing.

 

Desperately, in 2003 when my wife's friend, a mother figure abroad, was dying and my wife would have wanted to be there for her, we appealed to Sir Fred/RBS to settle the case, he did not respond.

 

I am English and my wife is Finnish.

 

RBS has a case to answer for - they even admit in writing their errors - but they do nothing about it. We will not drop the case until we get there.
