    • love the extra £1000 charge for confidentialy there BF   Also OP even if they don't offer OOC it doesn't mean your claim isn't good. I had 3 against EVRi that were heard over the last 3 weeks. They sent me emails asking me to discontinue as I wouldn't win. Went infront of a judge and won all 3.    Just remember the law is on your side. The judges will be aware of this.   Where you can its important to try to point out at the hearing the specific part of the contract they breached. I found this was very helpful and the Judge made reference to it when they gave their judgements and it seemed this was pretty important as once you have identified a specific breach the matter turns straight to liability. From there its a case of pointing out the unlawfullness of their insurance and then that should be it.
    • I know dx and thanks again for yours and others help. I was 99.999% certain last payment was over six years ago if not longer.  👍
    • Paragraph 23 – "standard industry practice" – put this in bold type. They are stupid to rely on this and we might as well carry on emphasising how stupid they are. I wonder why they could even have begun to think some kind of compelling argument – "the other boys do it so I do it as well…" Same with paragraph 26   Paragraph 45 – The Defendants have so far been unable to produce any judgements at any level which disagree with the three judgements…  …court, but I would respectfully request…   Just the few amendments above – and I think it's fine. I think you should stick to the format that you are using. This has been used lots of times and has even been applauded by judges for being meticulous and clear. You aren't a professional. Nobody is expecting professional standards and although it's important that you understand exactly what you are doing – you don't really want to come over to the judge that you have done this kind of thing before. As a litigant in person you get a certain licence/leeway from judges and that is helpful to you – especially if you are facing a professional advocate. The way this is laid out is far clearer than the mess that you will get from EVRi. Quite frankly they undermine their own credibility by trying to say that they should win simply because it is "standard industry practice". It wouldn't at all surprise me if EVRi make you a last moment offer of the entire value of your claim partly to avoid judgement and also partly to avoid the embarrassment of having this kind of rubbish exposed in court. If they do happen to do that, then you should make sure that they pay everything. If they suddenly make you an out-of-court offer and this means that they are worried that they are going to lose and so you must make sure that you get every penny – interest, costs – everything you claimed. Finally, if they do make you an out-of-court offer they will try to sign you up to a confidentiality agreement. The answer to that is absolutely – No. It's not part of the claim and if they want to settle then they settle the claim as it stands and don't try add anything on. If they want confidentiality then that will cost an extra £1000. If they don't like it then they can go do the other thing. Once you have made the amendments suggested above – it should be the final version. court,. I don't think we are going to make any more changes. Your next job good to make sure that you are completely familiar with it all. That you understand the arguments. Have you made a court familiarisation visit?
    • just type no need to keep hitting quote... as has already been said, they use their own criteria. if a person is not stated as linked to you on your file then no cant hurt you. not all creditors use every CRA provider, there are only 3 main credit file providers mind, the rest are just 3rd party data sharers. if you already have revolving credit on your file there is no need to apply for anything just 'because' you need to show you can handle money. if you have bank account(s) and a mortgage which you are servicing (paying) then nothing more can improve your score, despite what these 'scam' sites claiml  its all a CON!!

    • 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.

I had to book a flight for my wife to Ireland this evening and after doing the usual searches (the flight is for tomorrow) Ryanair came out the cheapest by a long long way at £69 (BA wanted £960!!!!:eek: ) But doing the booking on their website is quite a minefield of additional charges. They charge £6 to check-in at the airport (it's free if you do it online), £18 for one checked bag and if you want prioty boarding another £6 on top.

 

But cheekiest of all is the debit/credit card fees. £1 per flight when payment made by debit card and £3 with a credit card. So although you only make one payment transaction when paying for the flight in full, they charge you £1 for the outgoing and another £1 for the return flight. What a blooming cheek!!!:evil:

I read in the paper that Ryanair is taking its' website down in the very near future to include taxes and charges in its' pricing structure. Ryanair has always insisted that its' pricing structure is transparent as you know what the airfare is and the taxes etc levied separately are itemised, the OFT (or similar organisation) disagreed.

 

BA make charges for using credit cards as well - £3.50 per ticket. Don't know how you got quoted £960 though, the most expensive I could make a ticket for tomorrow (returning same day) was £295 on their website.

Lloyds TSB, Total Charges £900, Claim Filed for £1379 - Settled

 

Sainsbury's Bank Credit Card, Total Charges £90 - Settled.

This is the business model of low-cost airlines, getting you from A to B safely and cheaply.

 

Ryannair is good if travelling alone in pleb track, going local (to EU), no checked bag, no complimentary meals & paper, don't mind where you sit, £4 a cup of tea & buscuit, climbing airstairs/no jetbridges and dont mind using out of town airports with no onward connections. Its popular with backpackers laden with carryons and cant stuff them into the overhead bin.

 

Ditto easyjet, nicer fleet and better airports locations. [edited]

Airlines do not check (they cannot check) whether a passenger's use of a wheelchair is medically legitimate, thus wheelchair users are fast-tracked through the terminal building and onto the aircraft regardless.

Ryanair are a low cost airline.

Some say Ryanair is an ultra-low cost airline. Heres a few Ryannair cost-cutting measures in use or considered.

 

Michael O'Leary explored the idea of removing onbaord lavatories from his 737's. He thought children can manage 2 hours without a bathroom.

 

The price of fuel is rising and cabin window shades add too much weight to the aircraft. Remove them.

 

Employees cannot charge their mobile phones at work - it increases the company elecrtricity bill. This set off a company rumour making its pilots deploy RAT power to conserve fuel during descent and final approach.

 

Removing inflight safety cards in the cabin and replacing them with stickers on the seat-back tray table.

 

Selling advertising space on the cabin walls.

 

Crews have 8 minutes to turn the aircraft around when the last passanger has deplaned without using APU power and conect to external power where possible.

 

One good idea from Mr O'Leary, doing away with illuminated no smoking sign in the cabin, since smoking is banned on all flights under the Air Navigation Order 2000, that's one less flightdeck switch for us pilots to worry about.

Hi Everybody,

 

New poster - relieved to have found this group - I sleep better at night knowing lots of other people baulk at everyday rip-offs.

Re: Ryanair - I took my kids to Belfast last week on Ryanair - previously had only used Easyjet - was gobsmacked that I would have to pay for the courtesy of priority boarding!.

In the end, O'Leary and Ryanair will run into serious trouble over cutting corners. I just hope it's a legal thing and not public outcry about corner-cutting on safety after a crash.

O'Leary does have some good ideas - his recent suggestion that airport security procedures have more to do with politics than security, for example - but whilst he revels in presenting himself as a rough-diamond, outspoken rebel, he usually comes across as an arse who thinks rudeness and lack of service are virtues.

 

I don't fly Ryanair for a variety of reasons; primarily because I am able to make an informed decision.

Hi Everybody,

 

New poster - .

 

Welcome to CAG.

 

was gobsmacked that I would have to pay for the courtesy of priority boarding!.

 

All LCC's do it, and one un-named charter airline (priviledged information) is considering letting passengers pay £5 at the gate for priority boarding.

 

In the end, O'Leary and Ryanair will run into serious trouble over cutting corners.

 

He is criticised vehemently but his passengers just keep coming back.

 

I just hope it's a legal thing and not public outcry about corner-cutting on safety after a crash.

 

Compromising safety doesn't happen in aviation, and Ryanair has had no crashes, fatalities or injuries in its entire history, and last year Ryanair carried more passengers than BA. I'll give O'Leary credit where credit's due.

My post was nothing to do with exploiting the disabled. It about passengers pretending to be disbaled by bringing a wheelchair with them to obtain fast-track service.

And who do you think will suffer when this abusive practice gets more widespread? The ones who are in genuine need of assistance. Thanks to this kind of dubious advice, the airlines will then start exercising stricter control whereas at the moment, the fairly informal way in which it is done is a great boon to some. And don't think they couldn't, all they have to do is implement something whereby you have to show some proof of entitlement to a disability benefit. If you haven't got it with you, then tough.

 

Disneyworld used to operate the same type of policy, thanks to the abusers who did what you so blithely advised, they no longer do so. :mad: So yes, it is exploitation of disabilities, and it is despicable. :mad:

Airlines are smarter than that. When a pax with a disability is pre-boarded they are assigned a seat near 2L or an overwing exit door, if he gets up and walks around during the flight, or springs out of his seat demanding his wheelchair the moment I turn off the seat belt sign, they will be the last to disembark because its stored elsewhere on the aircraft. Pax with genuine disabilities know to arrange fast track at the time of booking.

Disneyworld was also exploiting it. They blithely allow guests to jump the queue including those with disabilities. They called it a Q-Buster ticket and attractions had separate hidden queueing structures for them.

I'm a rep and I can concur re the wheelchair [problem].

I have seen many guests going about their holiday with vigour for 7 or 14 days then suddenly need a wheelchair and assistance in the airport.

We can't question it and it is a despicable thing to do. Sometimes there are no wheelchairs left and the folks that really need one suffer.

Budget airlines don't have pre-assigned seats, so that's simply not true. And we are not talking about just wheelchairs, or do you think that only people in wheelchairs need assistance or qualify as disabled? :eek:

Only for able-bodied passengers. Bulkhead seats with extra legroom or near lavatories are reserved for pax with disabilities or those carrying infants.

A wheelchair pax and a disabled pax have different handling procedures depending on the nature of the disability.

Again, not true at all. I travel extensively with both Ryanair and Easyjet and the extent of their disabled assistance is that they let you through first. All of which is irrelevant to the exploitation of the assistance policy by able-bodied people, by the way. :-(

OK, that gives you have more command experience than me on the A319 and Boeing 777, with my company it's always been the case with low cost and sometimes domestic routes. Unlike gate agents or crew, able-bodied pax never see disability pax being pre-boarded in the cabin, so this this is like having a passenger in K48 telling me how to fly the aircraft.

I don't know who you work for, but most extra legroom seats (those by doors) are given to Able Bodied Passengers (ABP's) in order that they may assist cabin crew in the event of an emergency. This is standard procedure for most worldwide carriers. Non emergency row 'legroom' seats (more commonly found on charter airlines) can be set aside for disabled passengers, but sadly most are now sold at a premium price.

 

A wheelchair pax and a disabled pax have different handling procedures depending on the nature of the disability.

 

ALL disabled passengers have different needs, whilst most fall within standard practice, no two disabilities are the same and each treated differently by ground crew. An example of this is when a disabled pax is boarded via the service doors (aircraft right). To put disabilities into just 2 catagories shows a distinct lack of knowledge, both on the subject, and on procedure.

 

 

Airlines are smarter than that. When a pax with a disability is pre-boarded they are assigned a seat near 2L or an overwing exit door, if he gets up and walks around during the flight, or springs out of his seat demanding his wheelchair the moment I turn off the seat belt sign, they will be the last to disembark because its stored elsewhere on the aircraft.

 

Disabled passengers are seated where it is most appropriate. This is dependant on which doors are used, the extent of the disability and passenger load. As a rule, physically disabled passengers are seated away from exit rows, the reason being is that able bodied passengers will exit the plane faster, leaving a reduced number of fatalities show deaths occur.

A standard wheelchair would not fit down an aircraft aisle (except maybe first class charter), and although you may not realise, most disabled pax are well used to being last off the aircraft, as to disembark before hand is not practical and not desirable.

 

 

 

I think you may find things to be quite different, in the back, than you imagine.
