    • is the home in joint names but this is solely your debt? need far more history to be able to comment if it's paid off and was not just written of by one partly on their books and sold to anther, thus the cra file says £0. dx
    • So, Sunak has managed to get someone to 'volunteer to go to Rwanda hasn't he? .. for just £3000 payment to the person plus 5 years free board and lodging isnt it? - cost to UK taxpayer over £300M+ (300 million quid+) isnt it? - Bargain says Rwanda, especially with all the profit we made privately selling those luxury chalets Bravermann advertised for us   I wonder how many brits would jump at that offer? Thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Lets see, up to 5 years free board and lodging and £3k in my pocket .. I'd go - and like that person - just come back if/when I get bored. First job - off to Botswana for a week to see the elephants.   Of course the paid volunteers going to Botswana are meaningless - Rwanda have REPEATEDLY said they wont take any forcibly trafficked people in breach of international law eh? Have the poops actually got any civil servants to agree to go yet - probably end up as more massive payments to VIPal contractors to go and sit there doing nowt shortly eh?    
    • Hi Wondered if I could get a little advise please. I entered into a commercial lease (3 years) and within a few months I had to leave as the business I was trading with collapsed. I returned the keys to the landlord and explained the situation and no money, also likely to go on benefits but the landlord stuck to their guns. They have now instructed solicitors to send letter before action claiming just over £4000. The lease was mine and so the debt. I know this. I have emailed the solicitors twice to explain I am out of work and that with help from family I could offer a full and final settlement figure of £1500 or £10pw. This was countered by them with an offer to reduce the debt by £400, or pay off the amount over 12 months. I went back with an improved full and final offer of £2500 or £20pw. This has been rejected with the comment 'papers ready to go to court'. I have no hope of paying the £4000 and so it will have to go to court. Pity as I have no debts otherwise but not working is a killer. I wondered if they take me to court, could I ask for mediation? I also think that taking me to court will result in a pretty much nothing per week payment from my benefits. Are companies just pushing ahead with action even if a better offer is on the table? Thanks for your help.
    • Hi all, Many thanks for the advice! Unfortunately, the reply to the email was as expected…   Starbucks UK Customer Care <[email protected]> Hi xxxxxx, We are sorry to read you received a parking charge after using our Stansted Airport - A120 DT store. Unfortunately, the car park here is managed by MET parking. Both Starbucks and EuroGarages who own and operate this site are not able to help and have no authority to overturn any parking charges received. If you have followed the below terms then you would need to send all correspondence to [email protected], who will be able to assist you further.

    • 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 Rooster.

 

Still got the MIL and she will be here for as long as necessary and frankly I couldn't do this without her.

 

We can take little Peasant in with us anytime we please. Being a private hospital, Mrs P has her own room so we're not disturbing anyone else too much so he goes everyday.

 

Off to work now. Let's see what today brings

RP, can you get a couple of days compassionate leave from work? I realise that you may have already done this in the initial stages, but maybe a few more would help you to regain some strength?

 

Best wishes to you and your family xxx

There is news and it's almost all good.

 

Mrs Peasant is at home!!!!

 

The MRI showed no need for surgery but she does have a small tumour. They don't feel the need for any intervention at the moment as they believe it is benign and will not grow significantly bigger. It will be monitored.

 

For the time being it's just rest (trust me - getting her to do that is easier said than done) and that was a condition of her discharge. Misbehave she will get worse again and be back in.

 

She's still a long way from being well but hopefully being at home will help her recovery. Has to go back and see the consultant next week but for now I'm a reasonably happy Peasant:)

Best wishes to you all...........:):)

I've been lurking and following this thread (my thoughts have been with you, but frankly I didn't know what to say... words just seemed inadequate) However, I'm so glad you have had this great news. Make sure she gets the rest she needs (I know you and MIL are gonna make her rest anyway... if not I'm sure you can obtain some handcuffs from somewhere!!!), and enjoy some quality time with your family after your stressful and restless few days.

All the best

That's the news we've all been waiting for.

I'm sure that between you and the MIL, Mrs RP WILL follow doctor's orders.

Now that she's home again, she will be much happier. Just make sure that she takes it easy until she's fully recovered. Don't take any argument from her... Dr. Rooster has spoken.

 

Love and best wishes to all of you, especially MIL..... She's a diamond. :cool:

BUMP!

 

Don't leave us in mid-air, RP, how is Mrs. RP progressing. I hope she's feeling brighter now that she's home.

Just spoil her rotten, you know she's worth it.

I know she'll probably be somewhat impatient to be up and about, but you must insist that she takes it easy.

 

Best wishes, Rooster.;)

I would just like to reiterate what Locutus said and wish you and your family all the very best.

I'm so happy that Mrs P is home and that you're all there for each other.

I'd come round and make the bed or look after littley or whatever to help, could even bring Mikey & Sulley but you live a little to far away for us to just pop round so we'll will send a big monster hug instead...

 

Lots of love

Sorry guys, work got in the way!

 

We're both so touched by your concern.

 

Mrs P is getting better by the day as the medication takes effect.

 

I can tell she's feeling better cos she's started spending money again. The 2 weeks she spent in hospital were the cheapest 2 weeks since we got married;)

 

MIL still here and being brilliant. Little Peasant is just so good. I came in from work yesterday and Mrs P was asleep on the sofa. When I came in he just whispered "Hello Daddy, be quiet, mummy is asleep so she gets better". It was only 2pm and she'd been asleep for an hour. She slept until nearly 4 o'clock. Not bad for someone who normally survives on 4 hours sleep a day!

 

Being self indulgent, I'm knackered. Done eight 4am starts in the last 9 days but it means I'm home in the afternoon. Day off tomorrow and I've told the MIL that I will get up when little one does so SHE can have a break. 6.30 for me is a lie in!

 

Mrs P still has a monster headache but isn't as bad as she was but we're in for a long haul. She want's to name the tumour so it's personal but we can't come up with a name. She's guessing it's male as it will probably sit there and do nothing but we don't have a name for it yet.

 

By the way - next time she says to me "I've got a brain tumour you know" I may be forced to remove it myself:)

As a suggestion for a name for an annoying, useless lump that Mrs RP would like to get rid of. :D

 

Seriously, RP, I think that is a brilliant idea - give it a name and therefore something tangible to fight against.

All help is merely my opinion only - please seek legal advice if you need to as I am only qualified in SEN law.
