    • Do you have broadband at home? A permanent move to e.g. Sky Glass may not fit with your desire to keep your digibox,, but can you move the items you most want off the digibox? If so, Sky Glass might suit you. You might ask Sky to loan you a “puck” and provide access as an interim measure. another option might be using Sky Go, at least short term, to give you access to some of the Sky programming while awaiting the dish being sorted.
    • £85PCM to sky, what!! why are you paying so much, what did you watch on sky thats not on freeview?  
    • Between yourself and Dave you have produced a very good WS. However if you were to do a harder hitting WS it may be that VCS would be more likely to cancel prior to a hearing. The Contract . VCS [Jake Burgess?] are trying to conflate parking in a car park to driving along a road in order to defend the indefensible. It is well known that "NO Stopping " cannot form a contract as it is prohibitory. VCS know that well as they lose time and again in Court when claiming it is contractual. By mixing up parking with driving they hope to deflect from the fact trying to claim that No Stopping is contractual is tantamount to perjury. No wonder mr Burgess doesn't want to appear in Court. Conflation also disguises the fact that while parking in a car park for a period of time can be interpreted as the acceptance of the contract that is not the case while driving down a road. The Defendant was going to the airport so it is ludicrous to suggest that driving by a No Stopping  sign is tacitly accepting  the  contract -especially as no contract is even being offered. And even if a motorist did not wish to be bound by the so called contract what could they do? Forfeit their flight and still have to stop their car to turn around? Put like that the whole scenario posed by Mr Burgess that the Defendant accepted the contract by driving past the sign is absolutely absurd and indefensible. I certainly would not want to appear in Court defending that statement either. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will do the contract itself later.
    • Yes - ignore. Because of another MET victim today I looked at all our MET cases back to June 2014 ... yes, 10 years. They have never dared take a motorist to court and argue their case before a judge.  They have started the odd court case, but as a means of trying to intimidate the motorist into coughing up, when the motorist defended and refused to give in it was MET who bottled it and discontinued.
    • Unpaid wages should be pretty straightforward if you did the work. Don't be intimidated. You need only show you were due money, and did not get money.   The risk is that they have no money to pay you (and legal fees) - frankly a solicitor maybe be costing them more than your claim is for and I might have expected them to make a commercial decision to settle before this point regardless of the merits of the case.

    • 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, can anyone point me in the right direction, please.

 

I,ve recently settled a credit card debt with Egg. On looking at my credit file with equifax Egg have made a footnote:

 

PARTIAL SETTLEMENT. Payment received as a full and final settlement although the payment would not fully clear the balance.

 

When I agreed in writing with RMA to settle the debt i demanded that the settlement be marked on the credit file as a full and final settlement and not partial settlement. What can i do now?

thanks guys,

 

i'll dispute it today and keep my fingers crossed. it suits the creditors to send these f and f offers to those claiming bank charges but when the shoes on the other foot they just cant help themselves. i have the acceptance letter stating it would be a full and final and that this would be the only reference on the file!

quick question for bb

 

if the creditor responds to the cra dispute and says every thing is in order, can you then ask the cra for a copy of there response without going through the legal side/hastle of an sar, and do the cra have to give a valid reason not to send a copy

I just did a partial settlement with MBNA for 60% and in their template letter they say 1) the account will be closed 2) they will not persue me for the debt 3) my credit file will be marked as "satisfied" (which means partially settled). The remaining balance of £7000 will be shown.

 

This marks the end of a long road for me.

 

Having been through the process to the end, I can assure you that trying to "negotiate" for "full and final" on your credit file is a complete waste of time and whilst there are many on these forums egging you on to "hold on" and "negotiate" I am not aware of a single person who has part settled and got anything other than that recorded on their credit history.

 

I have a clean file now apart from a single "short settlement" with MBNA. Nothing else.

I will apply for a mortage next july joint with my partner. her file also has a number of partial settlements. Obviously the effect will be negative, however it was previously spotless for 5 years.

 

my point was that it is senseless trying to get them to mark the file as fully settled, because they wont do that. The only leverage they have over you , is to mark your file.

i wouldn't say that the full and final settlement process was a complete waste of time. agreed, there will be the partial settlement note on your credit file. however, the creditor will not pursue you for the remainder, and a DCA will not pursue you for the FULL outstanding amount! An offer was made to to pay less than half of the amount due and was accepted. Looking back I am quite happy with that. I am left with two or three creditors who chose not to accept that offer and now have only two years left before they are statute barred. Unfortuneately, you don't get to have your cake AND eat it when you amount large debts and are unable to pay them off. The creditors will do anything they can for sheer spite! After several years I would say you need to be realistic: You cannot get defaults removed; you cannot get a full and final settlement with "fully satisfied" on your credit file; you can reduce your debts with the advice available on this site but you WILL suffer bad credit.

Unfortunately BF, the offer of a F&F payment to an alleged debt will have reset the limitation period, so your two years before SB will now be four.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

its a totyal waste of money to F&F with out demanding and getting the file shown as settled and all neg data removed.

 

i and others have had good success with demanding such.

 

typically an 'alternate' option is a good idea too.

 

i'e

 

comply with my demands or you'll only get £1PCM till i die!.

 

its also rather silly to F&F any debt without reclaiming charges & PPI first.

 

and NEVER pay a DCA, always the OC

 

if the debt has been sold on, then never offer more than 25% at the very most.

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

I understand what you are saying BF, BUT!!!

 

If you did not owe any money to any debt then you would not offer to pay anything toward it, therefore, my advice still stands, any offer to pay a debt WILL reset the limitation clock, UNLESS, it has already been SB. It matters not one jot what the content of a letter contains, if there is an offer of payment then this is deemed as an admission of guilt and that the debt exists.
