  1. Hi guys, this is an odd one, bare with me. A couple hired a car and the same night broke their window. Few minutes later the gang they had planned with drove away the car. Some time later when the tracker was removed or when it was secure they alerted the couple. Few minutes later they called the police. The story the couple used is we were asleep, we were woken by some noise and after looking for the cars etc we realized the keys were missing and that the window was broken. Unknown to them their tenant over heard many things including them visiting the gang leader few times to claim their money. He also over heard the couple explain to the police and some insurance people including the person they had hired the car from. All the tenant knows is name and color of the car and rest of the above including the gang leaders name. Now with the above information if he goes to the police I am sure police have absolutely nothing to go on. However if he takes a lie detector test and with a written statement via a solicitor police might do something however the lie detector test is not accepted. So only conclusion is to find the insurance company as they use these methods. So I am sure if he goes via the insurance company he may get better results of them being prosecuted? What is the best method of them being screwed over this crime. (the tenant is their relative. He stayed until his studies were over, as he declined to marry the wife's relative, things went sour. They informed his family who were also backing the tenant with finance for studies many stories which forced them to stop. He failed to do his masters and had to take a rubbish job. Many years later now he has discovered all this.) This crime is at least 6 years old. Anyone know the best way of them being done for this crime. BTW they got cheated. The gang leader did a runner and when he appeared he said the car was stopped by Nigerian customs. So no sale no produce. Ali
  2. Received a standard letter template from the Co-op, hopefully attached? However, it wasn't until I re-read their missive that I noticed the wording they used. "Continued misuse of your account means that we can impose restrictions to your banking facilities, including your debit and credit cards, or even close your account" Now considering this is only the second time I have bounced a direct debit, I find their language very threatening, quite how depriving me of £30 is ever going to force me to not "misuse" my account is totally beyond me? After all, isn't the reason why these DD bounced because I didn't have enough money in there in the first place? No wonder the finance industry is in such a mess, I rang them (Truecall) and spoke to a pleasant enough lady who told me they can only waiver bank fees once in a 12 month period, when I told her that the only payments going into my account between now and their attempted 'charge' of £30 is going to be my benefit money, it sort of fell on deaf ears, 'it's in the terms and conditions' yadda yadda yadda, 'were allowed to take money out of the account' yadda yadda yadda. So letter of complaint is going out first thing tomorrow, along with my thoughts on why I feel their charges are unfair, and if they wish I will send them a letter of appropriation. In the meantime I'm looking for another bank!
  3. My employer punishes people that are late in the mornings by docking rounded-up 15 minute segments from their lunchbreak. So, if a car accident that causes a tailback, heavy weather, etc. (over which of course you have no control) makes you late by just 1 minute, they dock you 15 minutes from your lunch. The lunchbreak is one hour. So to reiterate: Employer (professional services, over 300 staff) has a clocking system for everyone below director level. If you clock in at 9:01am, they send you an email telling you to take a 45 minute lunch. If you're late by 17 minutes, you lose 30. So, the staff are forced to work for free for a certain number of minutes if you're late. It's hugely unpopular with the staff, but is it even illegal? They're stealing more time than they are due from the lateness.
