    • Thanks for that. I will give them till Tuesday. Thanks for your help, very much appreciated. 
    • Ok thanks for that, well spotted and all duly noted. Yes they did eventually submit those docs to me after a second letter advising them I was contacting the ICO to make a formal complaint for failing to comply with an earlier SAR that they brushed off as an "administrative error" or something. When I sent the letter telling them I was in contact with the information commissioner to lodge the complaint, the original PCN etc quickly followed along with their excuse!
    • its not about the migrants .. Barrister Helena Kennedy warns that the Conservatives will use their victory over Rwanda to dismantle the law that protects our human rights here in the UK.   Angela Rayner made fun of Rishi Sunak’s height in a fiery exchange at Prime Minister’s Questions, which prompted Joe Murphy to ask: just how low will Labour go? .. well .. not as low as sunak 
    • From #38 where you wrote the following, all in the 3rd person so we don't know which party is you. When you sy it was your family home, was that before or after? " A FH split to create 2 Leasehold adjoining houses (terrace) FH remains under original ownership and 1 Leasehold house sold on 100y+ lease. . Freeholder resides in the other Leasehold house. The property was originally resided in as one house by Freeholder"
    • The property was our family home.  A fixed low rate btl/ development loan was given (last century!). It was derelict. Did it up/ was rented out for a while.  Then moved in/out over the years (mostly around school)  It was a mix of rental and family home. The ad-hoc rents covered the loan amply.  Nowadays  banks don't allow such a mix.  (I have written this before.) Problems started when the lease was extended and needed to re-mortgage to cover the expense.  Wanted another btl.  Got a tenant in situ. Was located elsewhere (work). A broker found a btl lender, they reneged.  Broker didn't find another btl loan.  The tenant was paying enough to cover the proposed annual btl mortgage in 4 months. The broker gave up trying to find another.  I ended up on a bridge and this disastrous path.  (I have raised previous issues about the broker) Not sure what you mean by 'split'.  The property was always leasehold with a separate freeholder  The freeholder eventually sold the fh to another entity by private agreement (the trust) but it's always been separate.  That's quite normal.  One can't merge titles - unless lease runs out/ is forfeited and new one is not created/ granted. The bridge lender had a special condition in loan offer - their own lawyer had to check title first.  Check that lease wasn't onerous and there was nothing that would affect good saleability.  The lawyer (that got sacked for dishonesty) signed off the loan on the basis the lease and title was good and clean.  The same law firm then tried to complain the lease clauses were onerous and the lease too short, even though the loan was to cover a 90y lease extension!!

    • 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.

Hello phatram,

 

I understand that it is NOT easy to take on other peeps kid's, especially those which have come to the attention of Social Services + therefore MAY have difficulties that require patience, understanding + plenty of love + stability in their troubled lives.

 

However...

 

Your Posts cause me deep concern phatram.

U appear to NOT want to be prepared to integrate your charges into your own family + are setting up an underlying Us Vs Them atmosphere within your household??...:confused:

 

Being a 'parent' is perhaps the greatest honour that can be bestowed on ANY one individual.

The zillions of childless couples/post menopausal women who crave to be one is testiment to this.

No one has EVER said that being one is easy or comes natural to peeps.

U are indeed VERY lucky in the fact that U are in a position where U CAN make a HUGE difference to some unfortunate child's life.

 

PLEASE don't look on the financial rewards to MAY come your way by Fostering.

Undoubtedly there are other forms of 'payback', like knowing that U have personally contributed to a child's development + preparation for adult life + their adventure out into the 'Big Bad World'.

 

I doubt whether ALL the money in the world would be sufficient to replace the feeling that may well up inside of U, when U hear the simple 'Thanks for being my (Foster) Mum', that a leaving Foster Child may say when they finally leave U.

 

Think of the many natural parents who do NOT enjoy the same financial rewards afforded to yourself.

Admittedly, Foster Caring COULD be viewed as a 'professional job'

...But perhaps the 'professionality' lies in the vocation NOT the qualification or salary??...:wink:

 

Think of the children who didn't choose to be in Foster Care.

Imagine how further unwanted/unloved that they would feel if they knew it was ONLY for monies that they were where they were placed.

Imagine how U would feel if U were one of those same said children!

 

From a personal perspective, during MY adult life, I have sometimes been in relationships where there have been children who aren't my own.

I have always thought of it as being a great honour + privilege to nuture their progress into being well-rounded adults + have treated them as I would do my own flesh + blood.

Many times I have been out-of-pocket in the 'quid pro quo' scheme of things, but what the h*ll...they came as part of a package!

...Sometimes money just DOESN'T come into it...;)

 

If U are doubting your future role as a Foster Carer, can I be as so bold as to ask U to speak to your liasing Keyworker?

Perhaps a short period of Respite is needed, so that U can focus once again on the benefits that continued Foster Caring can bring to your natural family??...:confused:

 

 

...:)

...Don't have children if you can't afford to then.

Sometimes circumstances dictate differently phatram...

 

What would happen if YOUR children unfortunately + unexpectedly became orphans and there was NO immediate family suitable to look after them??...:confused:

 

What would happen if YOUR children had a parent who became involved in drugs/alcohol etc + became abusive following a possible marital/mental breakdown that WASN'T planned at the time of their conception??...:confused:

 

What would happen if YOUR children had parents who, through NO fault of their own, lost their jobs, were subsequentially repossessed, lived in unsuitable B & B + faced all the difficulties that some peeps have to face day after day, with NO hope of breaking the downward spiral which Debt can quite easily cause??...:confused:

 

Etc...etc...etc...

 

Methinks..."But for there by the grace of God go I"...is MOST apt phatram!...;-)

...I doubt you know all the ins and outs of bring up a child with Cystic Fibrosis, but if you asked I would be happy to tell you.
Perhaps U could share your personal knowledge of Cystic Fibrosis, with other peeps who may welcome your support HERE SF??...:)

Am sure that there are peeps out that would appreciate a friendly word or to of moral support now + then though SF......even yourself??...;)

It needn't JUST be about CF

...There are many Child/Family Oriented Threads which a concerned Mum could both find interesting, as well as enabling U to pass on words of wisdom between other Mums.

Hello phatram!

This months edition of FOSTER care magazine has some very interesting reading in it.

If any of you can get hold of a copy, you may understand a little more what we are campaigning for.

It is available for £3.

When you've read it, feel free to give an opinion.

Is it possible for U provide a link to somewhere where peeps might be able to obtain a subscription to the aforementioned magazine??

There may be peeps who read this Thread that would like to look into being Foster Carers themselves + would like to research further.

Are Foster Carers placed on a National Register once they have 'passed' all the initial requirements asked of them...i.e. Similar to Nurses etc...:?:

...Or is it a continuously assessed process by whatever Key Worker was involved with them??...:confused:

 

Who is it that would be responsible for peeps addition/removal to/from such Register, if indeed one existed??...:idea:
