    • They couldn't afford to cut the NI level - having to borrow to do it - which breaks common sense rules let alone fiscal rules Unc   .. and thats just based on what we know of their fiscal incompetence, let alone any hidden costs
    • 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.

Question:

 

What are the big hot christmas must-have electrical items this year?

 

Answer:

 

XBOX 360 and Nintendo Wii

 

(I'm sure there are a few other must-haves, but let's just focus on these two for a minute)...

 

Don't you find it interesting that both of these products (particularly the Nintendo Wii) are like gold dust, and virtually impossible to find? Amazon have sold out... HMV sold out... (my son is a manager at one HMV store, and he tells me they had their delivery of 15 units which were all sold by lunchtime!)

 

Guess where you can get them? In stock and available... Yep. BRIGHTHOUSE!

 

Now then, does that not strike you as strange? Let's look a little closer at just one example...

 

XBOX 360 Elite

 

Amazon (and most others) price £299.00 - but out of stock.

 

Brighthouse price £446.77 - in stock and available - but "selling fast!" - now that price is their "cash" price! The total cost (over 12 months of weekly payments) becomes a mind boggling total of £844.48!!!

Let me break this down for you...

The (already inflated) "cash" price of £446.77 is spread over 52 weekly payments of £9.74 (at 29.9APR) making a total of £506.48. Then add 52 weekly payments of £5.25 (total £273.00) for "optional service cover" (optional, but applied automatically unless you are savvy enough to know you DON'T have to have it), and 52 weekly payments of £1.16 (total £60.00) for "damage Liability Cover" (again, applied automatically unless you can show proof of home contents insurance that SPECIFICALLY includes items on hire purchase). Total £844.48

 

This must SURELY go down as rip-off of the year!

 

Also, I would like to know how Brighthouse appear to have plentiful stocks when every other high street retailer has either very limited stocks or none at all.

 

Conspiracy?

 

Surely not... ;)

 

 

Cheers

Nintendo has already warned of a shortage of wii. They have started extra production line and are now making 1.8 million per week and have warned that production will not be able to keep up with demand.

Brighthouse probably saw the prices that these were fetching on ebay before last Christmas and saved them especially for sale before Christmas this year, knowing full well that some people 'will' pay the extortionate price for them.

 

If Nintendo has genuinely got the popularity figures wrong and can't make enough then this will play right into the hands of Microsoft with the Xbox 360 and maybe even help the flagging sales of the PS3.

Who even cares? pay your money and make your choice.

 

buying low value items on credit is absurd.

 

This time next year, you will be able to pick one up for £100 at you local car boot sale.

 

probly get some games thrown in also,.
