    • Hi I am negotiating with my ex (commercial) landlord's solicitor for a debt I owe for rent. This has been going on for a little while and I expect they may go ahead with the court action they threaten. I wanted to ask however, In the event this action goes ahead, I think will have a response pack sent to me from the court, along with the claim. Google tells me that a section of this response pack is a 'Admit the claim and ask for time to pay'. Would this time to pay, if accepted also mean a CCJ registered against me? Thanks
    • Had identical situation with chairs I bought from eBay. I was directed to Shiply by seller. Contracted Fauzer via  Shiply platform. Basically  Shiply  engages fraudsters to deliver your goods and makes a profit too. Still no chairs in sight. Who is responsible for this fraud? 
    • Thanks @AndyOrch No permission was given to leave the property. I accpeptliability. I was just hoping that I could limit the damage / court action by negotiating a lower settlement with the landlord.
    • It is not as simple as you seem to suggest. 1. My wife needed the car and there are no local public transport facilities within 2 miles. 2 Neither of us has the technical expertise to change a battery. 3 Not only does the battery itself have to be appropriate for stop/start technology; but also, according to the handbook, has to be registered with Mini by a recognised agent, which I am not, neither is Big Motoring World. 4 The car had to be towed. Where was I going to have it towed to where I could be sure it would be properly dealt with? I couldn't trust Big Motoring World to do it. I couldn't have it towed to just any garage and be sure they had the right battery and the time to fit it. 5 The high sum involved is mainly for the diagnostic test which Big Motoring World asked me to obtain; and they did not initially raise any objection to the car being taken to the nearest main dealer. I would not have got the diagnostic test, if they had not asked for one. So, I understand where you are coming from, but having ignored requests for reimbursement, what else could I have done to recover my lay out?
    • Thank you FTMDave.  I'm happy to make your suggested changes.  I'll wait a day or 2 to see if any of the team have any other suggestions or feedback.  Do I then just email a copies to both UKPC and the court? Lookinforinfo - Unfortunately I am not sure if the signs have since been changed and cannot recall seeing any on the night as it was dark.

    • 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.

That programme about the undercover guy at Merlins, DCA, has just finished on Channel 4:eek::eek::eek:

 

The DCA itself did us all a favour but the interviewer and interviewee were so flipping weak, I could scream:eek:

 

So few acts and laws and regulations quoted, it was almost as if this programme were in favour of DCA's. Wonder if any true reporters would like to buy my Truecall recordings???:mad::mad::mad:

I think it's a shame to move the thread here as newbies won't find it and if we have to point them in this direction other posters may not like it :(

 

I'm very disappointed it's been moved to the bear garden. I only found this thread because of the DCA forum......not this one. Why now - that's what I would like to know. I know it goes off topic (a bit.....) BUT nevertheless.....:rolleyes:

I missed it.

 

Agree with you all, we should go back to the debt forum. I very seldom look in the bear garden unless it's one of Fred's postings.:D

 

Not been on the forum much recently as I am trying to do two full-time jobs!!! I'm sure it's already been on here, but I was so pleased to see Truecall got investment on Dragons' Den.

Gawd all my threads will end up in the bear garden if the new criteria is put them here if they have a few jokes in them :rolleyes:

 

I think on balance, if a thread has been in place for over 18 months it was in the right place, humourus postings aside this thread does have a lot of serious information that was usefull where it was and will be missed in the bear garden

If someone would like to trawl through all 7065 posts and identify the

"serious and valuable" information then I will be happy to split the posts into two different threads.

 

Somehow, I suspect that any useful information would have been lost in the "off topic" posts.
