    • old and new threads merged i though you were going to send the SB letter in 2017? dx  
    • dunno you've not scanned up what you've had before how can we tell?  
    • Today , after a lot of years i received a letter from this lot. Very friendly, "Were writing to remind you that we haven't had any contact from you in a while".  The velvet fist, followed by  a veiled threat to get their preferred debt collectors involved. Yep dead right. In 1992/3 I took out a Student load under duress from DHSS. up to 2000 I had successfully gotten deferment on low income. But rather than sign on as unemployed ,I decided to be self employed. I applied and they asked for all sorts of documents. I obliged and then correspondence ceased from them, circa 2001. To date I have had no correspondence from Student Loans. I was made redundant in 2009 and reached 65 in 2012 , at which age the loan should have been cancelled. Now , today, 12 years on retirement and 11 ( at least years after last contact) I get a letter with veiled threats. Do I , as I smell a scam a) ignore it and hope that Erudio will think that this phishing attempt has failed or b) respond with a statute barred letter or c) remind them of legal terms that loan should be cancelled 12 years ago or d) combination of b) +c)      
    • But I'm not mixing and matching. Sure, when researching I do check multiple avenues, but when speaking, I will open a single post. The Fb post was made in March, it is now June, time has passed, and when the suggestion was made, no further information was given on how I should progress beyond "send a letter", which has meant that I've needed to start another stream - this one, but only after taking the time to research first.

    • 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 all,

 

This is my first post on here, dont know if its in the right category or not like but what the hay!

 

Recently married (1st August), someone from the family booked the new crowne plaza (formerly Marriot) in old speke airport in liverpool for our "honeymoon" night as a gift for us.

 

We were and still are very disappointed in the level of customer service we received during “checking-in” for our stay. What was disappointing was that we didn’t even get greeted with as much as a smile, “hello” or “can I help you” by one of the five or six employees’ in the foyer as we walked into the building. This made us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome.

I had to be the proactive one and get the attention of the female desk assistant. After taking our details and asking for a card, it soon came to her attention that the room was not paid for. (Someone else had booked it on our behalf as a wedding present for us and left their card details on your system ready for billing). She did not explain this to us, all she said was “it hasn’t been paid”. She did not offer us any help and she spoke in a blunt and abrupt manner, we were disgusted. Surely this really isn’t how they want their hotel to be represented. We asked if we could make a phone call (at approximately 1:45 in the morning that’s not very amusing). After making the phone call we were not asked if everything was alright and we were not offered a place to sit down. We discussed leaving at this point and speaking to local paper at a later stage. It seemed their employees’ had something better to attend to than their customers, the only thing I could gather being, a conversation totally unrelated to their work. We took ourselves outside and sat totally shocked and appalled, we felt sick. How can a business afford to offer so low level customer service? On somebody's wedding night during there opening week!!!

When we spoke to the supervisor in the morning she explained what happened and was extremely helpful and nice, she apologised numerous times while dealing with our complaint and was a credit to them. Our complaint is not with the hotel, it is a beautiful place. Jut the way they dealt with us as customers no our wedding night.....

 

So angry at this, currently writing a complaint letter......

Any thoughts anybody??? :(:confused::(:-?

POST DELETED. I feel that my opinion is a little too strong, so wish to withdraw it. I apologise if I offended anyone, and even though I am entitled to my opinion, there is a time and a place and this is not it. Apologies once again.

Sorry to say it but it is typical Liverpool.

 

Everywhere you go in this godforsaken city. I have a 120 mile round commute every day because I wouldnt be seen dead working here. Im so ashamed of the place.

 

Im so sorry for your issues.

 

Mark.

 

Bang out of order this statement, I am a proud Liverpudlian and can say this city has its problems and issues, as do many others of a similar size, but I can also state that it is a lot better than many of the cities I have visited - something I do on a very regular basis.

 

Dont tar the majority with the minority brush, Mark.
