Virgin Free Flight Offered But Have Been Unable To Book?
king12345 replied to Rob3770's topic in Holiday & Airline companies
Sneaky! I bet they made them sign a full and final settlement for a non existent free flight. Typical -
Virgin Free Flight Offered But Have Been Unable To Book?
king12345 replied to Rob3770's topic in Holiday & Airline companies
As you haven't used the 'free' flight, you can still refuse it as final settlement and go for the money. In any case, I don't think there's any provision in the eu legislation giving airline companies the opportunity to settle for a free flight. -
Virgin Free Flight Offered But Have Been Unable To Book?
king12345 replied to Rob3770's topic in Holiday & Airline companies
Yes, you can and must claim the 480 euros for each passenger. The free flight is a gesture of goodwill designed to deliberately mislead customers into thinking that they're square. Charge them with the 480 asap. -
So you saved £10 for aftermarket pads and disc. I would have gone for the original parts and sacrifice the £10.
-
That is correct. Then a judge must validate the order and that would mean have a small trial similar to small claim court which could be up to 10 years away. By the way Sole, why don't you pay the debt? After all someone is out of pocket here because you've moved abroad. I would be upset myself in their position. Unless there was a dispute and you were never advised of it.
-
Also, you can follow the correct procedure and apply to have this eeo revoked by filling the form that should be attached to it when and if they'll eventually deliver it to you. Until such time, there's nothing at all they can do. Eeo should be delivered to you recorded delivery and have the appeal procedure and form attached, a bit like a parking ticket. Why don't you write to the lawyer asking for hard copies of these documents so you can check for yourself if they're genuine or just empty threats?

With that email he just confirmed that they are at stage one: asking for money. If they want you to pay they have to open a court case in italy and you will be notified. As said, they cannot send the bailiffs in at this stage. Civil cases in Italy take years, so no immediate danger. This rogue lawyer could try to send someone to see you claiming they're bailiffs. Don't let them in and don't speak to them. Just tell them that unless they have an Italian warrant they have no power whatsoever. If they become intrusive (foot in the door) call the police. Personally I would apply for the judgment to be set aside, even if it will cost you a trip to the uk. To have piece of mind, go to the police and report the lawyer for his threatening telephone call. Most probably they will just take the complaint and close it there, but then you can send a copy to the lawyer so he knows you're not an easy prey.
-
I suppose he knows that he should be careful with written communication. However, don't forget that a lot of telephone calls in Italy are recorded if someone has been reported for anything or linked even vaguely to some dodgy characters. This guy being a rogue "lawyer" is most likely in touch with criminals and so under constant telephone recording. If you're lucky and find a keen police officer when you report him, he could really go down badly. But don't hold your breath, most likely he will just disappear from your life as soon as you report him and start preying on someone else. Did you check if he's a lawyer? Where about are you in Italy?
-
Italian bailiffs (ufficiali di pignoramento) only act upon Italian court instructions and only after a sentence has been passed and after you have not responded to written communication from the court. There's no way they would enforce an European warrant without consent from the Italian court; there's simply no procedure to do so, let alone without you receiving any communication. Firstly check if the "lawyer" is a real lawyer here: http://www.consiglionazionaleforense.it/site/home/area-avvocati/ricerca-avvocati.html Many people in Italy claim of being lawyers when in fact they are not. If this lawyer is indeed registered as such, I would report him to the lawyers register authority (albo degli avvocati) of his district (provincia) which you will know from the link above. Furthermore, if he's clearly lied in his email and clearly tried to make you pay, go straight to your nearest police station and report it. Strictly, this should be jurisdiction for the "carabinieri" to investigate fraud and extortion, but, because lawyers use the carabinieri to submit their criminal reports, they're sometimes not too inclined to proceed against them, so I would go to the police instead. If this lawyer is not a lawyer at all, you can report him for false representation, fraud and extortion all in one go, completely ruining his life. I'm pretty sure they are taking you for a ride to squeeze money out of you. Go hard on this "lawyer", don't let him get away with extortion.

It sounds like a [problem] to me. Lawyers in Italy don't talk over the phone or deal via email. They all send recorded delivery letters (raccomandata con ricevuta di ritorno) because that's what the Italian regulations require. Also, enforcement officers in Italy can only execute an enforcement order given by an Italian court. No way they can knock at your door with an English warrant or even an european one. To get an Italian court warrant it would probably take 10 years (personal experience). Also, it is very strange that they claim of having a "EEO" but they instructed a "lawyer" to call you for payment. Why would they waste any money on a lawyer if they can just send in the bailiffs? The answer is: They don't have any legal right to enforce this warrant and they're trying to con you. Call back the Italian lawyer and tell him to send all relevant documents by recorded delivery. Also tell him that you have recorded his telephone call and if he's lied about having a warrant of execution you will report him to the competent authority (foro) so he can be struck off the register (albo degli avvocati). In Italy the guys running the lawyer conduct authority are merciless and every lawyer is scared of them. I'm sure the Italian "lawyer" will magically disappear. I write lawyer in inverted commas because I'm convinced that all of this is a trick to make you pay and there's no lawyer or at most, just a rogue one. Keep us updated please

Got to agree. After all what would they do with 2nd hand panels?
-
Unfortunately many employers do this and they don't pay overtime or give time in lieu. A friend of mine works for a well known coffee shop head office as a manager. 35 hours contract and he works an average of 60. He's also on permanent standby at weekend and he can only leave the country if authorised. We sat down one day and calculated that he would be better off working as a barista on just above minimum wage!!! When he pointed this out to his boss he was told he could leave and someone else would happily take his place. Unfortunately this is a reality and unless you gain hard evidence of the hours worked and take them to et, there is not much you can do. Even if you have evidence of working overtime, they could simply say that you weren't able to finish your 'reasonable' workload on time and had to stay longer. TU could be corrupted and just brush this under the carpet. Time to get another job, unless you can convince them to pay you. Good luck

Do you have public liability insurance? Also as mentioned, get in touch with the product manufacturer and ask for advice. Frankly, unless there's enriched uranium in the product, there's no way that fumes can damage the fittings. If the fumes were that corrosive you would have died while using the product. Total rubbish. I bet the used a green scoring sponge to clean the fittings, damaged the chrome plating and trying to blame you for that; been there, seen it with my own eyes.
-
It depends on how many panels they have installed (area covered). Then you can start to find out how much they are worth new and deduct 2 years usage (I would cut 15% per year given that that's the standard machinery's devaluation accepted in tax returns; might be different for solar panels) After that you can make an offer. Personally I would start at 25% of the current value and see what they say. It sounds like you're in for hard negotiation . If you get a good price this will be like winning a small lottery: Cheap solar panels and feed in payments!

Lapdancing Club - Wages
king12345 replied to KBB1990's topic in Employment and minimum wage problems
Yes, like everyone else -
If he waits for the court date to plead not guilty he would attend court twice. He needs to plead not guilty now so a mutual convenient date can be set for trial.
-
You need to inform the court if you plead not guilty. I don't understand what you mean with "Is there anyway I can plead not guilty and hear the verdict same day without waiting for a new date?" If a date has been set and it's not convenient for you to attend, you contact the court and change the date.

Speeding Offence of EU citizen
king12345 replied to tony.b.johnson's topic in Speeding and Motoring Offences
BTW, why would they prosecute for exceeding by just 10mph? I always knew that there was an allowance of 10% (so 66mph in this case) and points/fine if speed didn't exceed 10% of that (6.6mph in this case so 72.6mph in total). Prosecution for anything past that. Was I wrong? -
Speeding Offence of EU citizen
king12345 replied to tony.b.johnson's topic in Speeding and Motoring Offences
Once they get his name and German address they will discontinue any prosecution/points/charge. As SabreSheep said, there isn't a working system in place EU wide for traffic offences yet. -
This is to be interpreted / read between the lines. It would make the manager think: "what's gonna happen to me if I make the call and he loses his job?" But the op would no be making any threat by sending the text. It can be interpreted in many ways
-
Send him this text: You call them and I will be very upset. When I get upset a lot of my friends get upset and some of them really have a bad temper. I wouldn't like to be facing them when they're upset. Goodbye
-
You will need to hand in the means form before the trial (if you plead not guilty). Most people don't bother to post it in advance and hand it in on the day. If we could see the statement (minus identification details) maybe we could advise further. If you decided to plead not guilty, would your friend be willing to stand as a witness?

Accident with car on bike - insurance wont pay out
king12345 replied to chang's topic in General Motoring Issues
Thumbs up to you 2ltr16valve! -
They don't have to explain the law in detail when they stop you, they just need to summarily explain why you have been stopped and they did. You can't use someone else's freedom pass. Also, one of the standard questions is: "Do you agree that you have attempted to travel without a valid ticket avoiding your full adult fare?" Was this asked? If so, what did you reply, or better, what's the reply in the statement they sent you?
