    • Interesting question regarding what Government accounts opposition parties have access to, before an General Election. From what I understand, Government department accounts that are published are always lagging behind and would not include some amounts which are classified as 'commercially sensitive'.  Therefore opposition parties and Parliamentrary select committees would not have access to accounts which contain real time up to date information. If a new Government have found £20 billion of spending liabilities they did not know about, this could be true, as £20 billion is not that much when you look at total Government expenditure. Government department are making decisions on spending all of the time and it could be the previous Government were planning tax changes and/or spending cuts to balance the books.  Jeremy Hunt has recently said that if the Tories had stayed in Government and held an Autumn budget, it would have been very difficult to cut taxes as some had wanted.
    • Everyone knows the tories were hiding the costs - and even added 4 billion quid to the taxpayers high interest credit card to fund a chunk of the NI tax reduction - prime example - look at how much cost was hidden re the Rwanda dogwhistle -10 Billion quid     and re the handful of rebels on the benefit limit If the disasters (like the Rwanda rubbish) of Tory dogs being wagged by the extremist minority ERG tail doesn't highlight the issues ..

    • ok your WS is wrong. Paragraph 16 and 17 says  you did not contract with evri but this is not true - see below  Furthermore to the eBay Powered By Packlink T&Cs that Evri is referring to, Clauses 3b and c of the T&Cs states:  (b)   Packlink is a package dispatch search engine that acts as an intermediary between its Users and Transport Agencies. Through the Website, Users can check the prices that different Transport Agencies offer for shipments and contract with the Transport Agency that best suits their needs on-line. (c)  Each User shall then enter into its own contract with the chosen Transport Agency. Packlink does not have any control over, and disclaims all liability that may arise in contracts between a User and a Transport Agency post 251 of occy thread - £844 lost    you should also add a paragraph on donough v Stevenson talking about the fact that even without contract there is still duty of care to goods and by failing to deliver this duty has been breached.   Make those changes and post it back up here and I'll check over things again

    • 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.

Was not quite sure if this is right place to post but here goes...

 

I recently got all my credit reports.

 

On one Call Credit I have an item on there from Vodafone which dates back to 17/07/2000.

 

On the report they are saying that I still owe them £90 and the account is in default - I really cant remember if this is true or not - I dont think that it is but I have done nothing about it yeat as I am not what the best course of action is.

 

There is no Account End date entered on the report so I cant ask Call Credit just to knock it off due to time.

 

The other funny thing is that they have a payment start date of March of this year!! - not heard a dicky bird from them so I dont how they are still able to keep this on my report by reporting to call crecit that they are still in contact with me??

 

Can anybody help as I am really not sure what to do. If they are keeping it open I could still have this on my report for another 6 years!! also though as I have not heard from them in over seven years surely this should not remain on report??

 

Please if anybody can help me with this pickle - I am all ears:D

 

I have just had a look again and they have also put that the default date was 11/05/2005 - never received anything as this would have gone to my parents address and they open all my post - I would definately have known about it believe me if I had received such a notice.

My best advice is to CCA them you can get a template in the stickys letter n in the templates and letters libary.

 

you will need a £1.00 postal order which will cost an extra 45p and to send it buy recordeddelivery £1.04 or special delivery £4.10 up.

 

If you send a cheque get a family member to do u one.

 

DONT SIGN THE LETTERJUST USE THE digital signature guide in the stickys OR TYPE YOUR NAME.

 

then sit and wait. They have 12 WORKING days to respond if they dont they enter a defualt after a further 30 CALANDER days then the account is in offical dispute and they cant chase you for the money.

Please remember the only stupid question is the one you dont ask so dont worry about asking the stupid questions.

Hello

 

Thank you everybody for replying.

 

If I SAR them - will this not be admitting that I have the debt with them - in which case make me liable to pay the £90?

 

The plot also thickens with this one - I have checked my other reports and on my equifax report they have entered in a £90 default but this default was applied in Jan 2002 - are they just issuing defaults willy nilly as I definately did not receive that default notice either.

 

Also is a company able to default you on two seperate occasions for the same debt?

 

I am just so confused now!!

Okay - I will go down the SAR route first then.

 

Thank you for all your help - I may just to keep on the safe side - not do the SAR until Jan 08 - not long to go and that will then have been 6 years past since they registered the Equifax default - just in case it begins to go pear shaped.

 

Thank you everybody though - I will do just that in Jan 08

Just on the back of this - if the last contact between me and Vodafone was 6 years ago can they chase me for the debt (not sure if I do owe it or not as I dont remember having outstanding money owing) but can they chase me for it - if it has remained the same for 6 years?

 

Or is the fact that they say they have contacted me (whether they have got through to me or not) is enough for the debt to remain open?

 

Any thoughts?

A debt to a mobile phone company would not be CCA regulated so S.A.R. is the best route. The default should be registered in a 'timely' manner so you may be able to dispute when it was entered.

 

Also useful link below relating to statute of limitations ( be careful you don't acknowledge the debt )

Thank you for your comments - that it what I am scared of doing by mistake so that is why I am waiting until Jan 08 just to be on safe side - and then I will start disputing them - will post how I get on in the future.
