    • Rather than dsunaks lies, lets look at the reaL Data and real black holes in the UKs budget - all created by the poop Tories   Public sector finances, UK: April 2024   Main points Borrowing – the difference between public sector spending and income – was (a black hole of) £20.5 billion in JUST April 2024, the fourth highest April borrowing since monthly records began in 1993. Borrowing in April 2024 was £1.5 billion more than in April 2023 and £1.2 billion more than the £19.3 billion forecast by the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR). Public sector receipts grew by £1.6 billion compared with April 2023, however, this growth was outstripped by a £3.1 billion increase in spending over the same period. Since our March 2024 publication, we have increased our initial estimate of borrowing in the financial year ending March 2024 by £0.8 billion to £121.4 billion, now £7.3 billion more than the £114.1 billion forecast by the OBR. Public sector net debt excluding public sector banks (debt) at the end of April 2024 was provisionally estimated at 97.9% of gross domestic product (GDP); this was 2.5 percentage points more than at the end of April 2023, and remains at levels last seen in the early 1960s. Excluding the Bank of England, debt was 89.9% of GDP, 8.0 percentage points lower than the wider debt measure. Public sector net worth excluding public sector banks was in deficit by £703.4 billion at the end of April 2024, a £93.5 billion larger deficit than at the end of April 2023.     and the Tory legacy of financial mismanagement  to be passed on :   UK government debt 2023 | Statista WWW.STATISTA.COM Government debt in the United Kingdom reached over 2.25 trillion British pounds in 2022/23, compared with 1.83 trillion pounds in... - and graph does NOT show the increases as it should

    • 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.

Hi Bas,

 

If they had any sense, they'd postpone collection proceedings.

 

However, they can, and probably will, continue to harass you 'cos they appear to be ignorant fools. Just ignore their demands but keep them to take to court - this may well count against them.

 

Make sure you have all your documents (contract, letters, etc.) neat and ready in a folder. You may have to copy everything for the court and for Ashbourne if you are told to file evidence before the court date.

We could do with some help from you

Hi, I'm in a similar situation where I signed up with good intention. A couple of months down the line I have had to relocate (approx 50 miles away from the gym), and am not sure whether I can cancel. When I was signed up at the gym I was told by the girl that I could cancel if I get injured or if I leave the area. But there is nothing on the crappy contract that backs that up. Am I going to have to pay for the next 3 years for a service I can't even obtain?

 

Cheers

Hi Tarantino,

 

Have you started your own thread for your case. Do so and send me a PM saying when and where you've opened it.

 

Check your contract to see if the 12 months on it has been amended to 36 months.

I THINK we have a result!

 

Received this morning...

 

Letter from Ashbourne's solciitors with a cheque attached :)

 

They say "In the circumstances, we should be grateful if you would acknowledge safe receipt of the same in full and final settlement of the claim"

 

Does this mean that this is the end? They just want confirmation that I have received the money and that I shall take it no further?

 

Can I now assume that the contract is void and I will never be chased again?

 

Thanks

Hi Bas - this is looking good.

 

Just to be on the safe side, please write to sol'rs and say:-

 

You acknowledge their ltr of xxdate.

 

Before you discontinue your claim, you require confirmation in writing that neither Ashbourne, not anyone else instructed by them, will demand any further payments in respect of the contact dated xxdate.

 

Further, they acknowledge that the contract dated xxdate is henceforth deemed to be null and void.

 

When this is received, you wil accept their pay't in F&F settlement and discontinue your county court claim.

 

Nearly there now................;)

I shall write to the solicitors with what you say. I shall do it now whilst I am on the PC.

 

Oh I hope this is the end now. It's looking good that they've refunded anyway.

Hey Bas,

Oh I hope this is the end now.
So do I but, compared to the fights others have had, this has gone very well and quite quickly.

 

The letter to the sol'rs is really just a precaution. I don't want you getting this refund only to be hounded by these idiots for the monthly fees again.:)

I did expect it to be alot tougher than this, but i'm not complaining.

 

Once I have got this confirmation from them and the cheque is safe to bank, i'll purchase a couple of packets of those address labels and use the rest to pay off other arrears!

 

Then I can start thinking about bank charges and how to reclaim!

Absolutely fantastic result :) I'll get started on trying to get back some bank charges/credit card charges next I think, although that could really do my head in if it's not straightforward.

 

I shall send a copy of that letter to the court and Ashbourne, thanks.

 

I'll get some of those self adhesive labels in the next couple of days. They'll come in handy for the next set of claims :)

Hi Bas,

 

After this, I think you'll be fine with bank and CC charges.

 

Start researching now by reading the Reclaiming Guide in Link No1 in my signature below.

 

Start each new thread when you're ready to send off an SAR for info, or a Prelim Claim letter

Congratulations Basualdo :D I've finally got my court date with these jokers, so I know only too well how obstructive they can be. Nice work :)

  • Barclays: WON!!! It took four months but was totally worth it!
  • Cabot: I'm still waiting for an enforcable agreement, more than a year after requesting it. Go on, Uncle Ken, take me to court if you dare. You know you want to!
  • Elephant.co.uk: VICTORY - they admitted there was no debt!
  • Ashbourne Management (gym membership): Finally got my default removed and out-of-court settlement; I'm not finished with them yet!

<--- If I've been helpful please remember the scales ;)
