    • Thank you very much for your letter in regard to the above mentioned shipment.  Due to the high volume of parcels coursing through the courier network each day, undergoing continuous processing and handling, certain packages may experience delays or even can get lost in the course of this journey. Please note that due to the time that has passed, this shipment has been declared as lost.  I have today processed the claim and made offers to the value of £75 as a goodwill gesture without prejudice. I do acknowledge that you have mentioned in your letter that the value was higher, however, you did not take out any protection to that amount. The protection for this shipment was £20 and we will not be increasing our goodwill offer any further.    Please log into your account online in order to accept our offer. Once accepted, our accounts department will process the claim accordingly. The claim payment will be processed and received within 7 working days.                                  In addition, a refund of the carriage fee will be processed as a separate payment and will be received within 3 working days.  If I can further assist, please feel free to contact me.   I have also just noticed that yesterday afternoon they sent me an email stating that "after my request" they have refunded the cost of shipping. I did not request the refund so will mention that in my letter as well.
    • Hi I had to leave Dubai back in 2011, during the financial crisis. And only now have I received a letter from IDRWW. Is this anything to worry about about as I have 2 years left until it’s been 15 years(statute barred in Dubai). Worried as just got a mortgage 2 years ago. Could they force me in to bankruptcy? Red lots of different threads on here. And unsure what true and what isn’t. 
    • Not that TOR will see this now he's thrown in the hand grenade. Rayner has plenty of female supporters on X, for a start. As for the council and HMRC, fair enough and I thought Rayner was already in touch with them. That's where it should be dealt with, not the police force. @tobyjugg2 Daniel Finkelstein thinks the same as you about tax. The Fiver theory.

    • Often with the Likes of Lowells/ Overdales that 'proof' doesn't stand up to scrutiny.   Think about it like a game of poker, they want to intimidate you into folding and giving up as soon as possible, and just get you to pay up and roll over, that is their business model, make you think your cards are rubbish. What they don't expect, and their business isn't set up for it, is for a defendant to find this place and to learn that they have an amazing set of cards to play. Overdales don't have an infinite number of lawyers, paralegals etc, and the time / money to spend on expensive court cases, that they are highly likely to lose, hence how hard they will try to get you to roll over.  Even to the extent of faking documents, which they need to do because the debts that they purchased were so cheap, in the first place. Nevertheless it works in most cases, most people chicken out, when they are so close to winning, and a holding defence is like slowly showing Overdales your first card, and a marker of intention that this could get tricky for them. In fact it may be,  although by no means guaranteed that it won't even go any further than that.  Even if it does, what they send you back will almost certainly have more holes than Swiss Cheese, and if with the help you receive here, you can identify those weaknesses and get the whole thing tossed in the bin.

    • 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.

Just curious really......not being a great fan of such sites myself, I am curious as to what goes on on these sites, do they encourage people to cheat, do they make people think the grass is greener on the other side, are they really all they are cracked up to be. Consider this story and then tell me what you think.........

 

 

The story, husband...easily lead and doesn't always know the correct behaviour boundaries for a married man (ie kissing women he's met for all of 5 minutes, with tongues, e-mailing ex's wanting to 'meet for coffee...maybe more') joins Faebook, wife warns him about such sites and that they might not be a good idea for the easily lead....husband assures wife no such thing will happen and he is, after all, a married man and a happily married man at that....aaahhh!

 

Wife joins Facebook to keep in touch with family and does so quite happily.

 

Husband has lots of friends, wife has lots of friends.

 

Wife spends an hour a week on Facebook, husband spends several hours a day on Facebook. Wife is happy for husband to see Facebook profile and messages. Husband is cagey, will not let wife see profile or messages. Wife tells husband he's stupid and if he hasn't got anything to hide, why is he hiding the laptop or going upstairs to use internet.

 

Wife is bonafide doormat. Husband's best friend contacts wife, saying has wife seen such and such message on husband's profile. Wife is not a friend of husband's on Facebook, cannot see the message, best friend sends copy to wife and allows wife his password and e-mail to get into Facebook, wife see's comment and is upset. Comment says 'Today was soooo good, tender and loving, so glad. Love you xxx', Wife initially thinks nothing of comment, husband has lots of female friends and decides not to say anything to husband.

 

Best friend add's the commenter to his friends list, commenter accepts. Best friend starts a conversation with commenter, saying he lives in the same area, he's fairly new to the area, could commenter give him some advice about places to go, what commenter thinks of the area, reassures commenter he's not a weirdo nor looking for a relationship, simply a web circle of friends. Commenter responds and says thanks for being honest, offers advice about area and says it is a good job he's not looking for a relationship, she's in one and it is a mess. Best friend asks her why it is a mess, she replies saying it is because he is married and he has not told his wife, wife obviously doesn't treat husband well enough for him to look elsewhere but now commenters boyfriend has started to go cold on her, she is disappointed.

 

Best friend asks hers whether or not commenter knew boyfriend was married. Commenter replies No, not intially but she also has a long distance relationship going on too, although not working out. Commenter also states she feels sorry for boyfriends wife at home, the wife just had major surgery and is quite poorly, making things difficult for commenter and boyfriend, commenter has not seen boyfriend for 5 days now, commenter wonders if boyfriends wife has found out.

 

Best friend begins engaging in private dialogue with commenter via Facebook, commnter confides more in best friend, including messages from boyfriend to commenter.

 

Best friend has fears confirmed, what should he do, Wife is his friend too. Best friend decided to tell wife and show her the evidence. Wife devastated, angry with best friend too. Does wife now confront husband, what will husband say?

 

Husband's track record is such

E-mailing an ex and asking her to meet for coffeee and maybe more like the old times.

Previously asking to meet with younger women on another networking site.

Being caught having a thing with a female friend which cluminated in wife (then fiancee) giving husband an ultimatum 'naked hide and seek with the girl' or your wedding in 6 weeks....opted for the wedding.

E-mailing another ex 3 weeks before the wedding asking for her to make sure he manages to have sex with someone else before he is married.

 

 

What should wife do.....Is Facebook to blame, does it encourage such infidelity?

 

 

And before anyone asks, yes this story is true.......

I don't think that it is Facebook's fault. This is something that has been going on for more years than the internet has been around. Facebook just provides for a new location for it to happen. I think the wife in this instance is lucky to have found out, it is just a shame that it is extremely hurtful.

 

I have recently come out of a short relationship because my girlfriend was unable to keep her knickers on. She slept with 3 different people behind my back in three months (the first 2 being within 7 days of getting together). She met none of these men on the internet.

I agree - I don't think this is Facebook's fault. I had a boyfriend who acted like this years ago without Facebook. I found out from a friend - and was pleased I had.

The internet does not cause infidelity - people do. You meet new people all the time, be it on the net or in "real life". It doesn't mean you have to sleep with them!

 

Oh - bear in mind that 90% or so of profiles on internet sites are exaggerated to say the least. Many are completely false.

I had a husband who slept with three different women behind my back 9now a very ex-husband) and he didn't meet any of them online.

 

I LOVE facebook - it's a great way to catch up with old mates and make arrangements with the usual crew. Hubby and I know eachothers logins and passwords, so neither of us could have it away without the other knowing about it.

What ya sayin, like?

 

Well it's just that, and I'm sure that it's pure coincidence and nothing else, whenever a thread veers sharply towards some sexual innuendo or other, and when asterisks start appearing then you are never more than two posts away.

 

Like I said it is probably pure coincidence

But they were sexual in a serious way. I have found the first comment that lowers the tone on this thread. Hey Presto the author is Tiglet :D

Point taken honey - I've just spanked you instead.
