    • The 3 pieces of mortar that fell on the same day, at the same time, were approx. 25-30cm long and weighed around ½-1 kilo each from a roof that is above the 2nd floor; they were by no means tiny pieces of mortar but large chunks falling from a rather great height. I believe the size and weight is enough to cause serious injury and if it falls on your head, I assume it could potentially be lethal if unlucky, but we don't wish to put that theory to test... We can't in good conscience let a contractor install a patio and a gazebo as it is in the exact spot where the mortar fell, nor do I think anyone would be willing to take the chance. Looking at the roof, there are multiple other remaining pieces from the same 'line' or 'row' of mortar that can potentially fall. The mortar is right underneath the slate tiles on the neighbour's roof and I don't know whether the tiles are also (becoming) lose due to the loss of the mortar. I was trying to upload a photo but it seems it's not allowed. The first contractor to work in our garden in preparation for the patio and gazebo is scheduled to start on 10th June, that leaves the neighbour 5 workdays to sort their roof which is unlikely, so it seems we will have to postpone our patio contractor without knowing when they can come back. We have already had extensive work done in the garden in preparation for the wedding reception and it will become very costly for us if we have to move the wedding reception to a venue (if we can even get one at this short notice) rather than have it at home which was our dream.
    • Is this sufficiant for a letter of claim  ? Letter Of Claim       Reference: Techzone Mobile Phones Samsung A71 Mobile Phone £140 Purchase date 29. 5. 24     I the claimant purchased a 2nd hand Samsung A71 mobile from Techzone Mobile Phone unit 10 of the indoor market at the Potteries shopping centre. Initially the phone worked well until I used the camera and found debris in the camera lens spoiling pictures making it not fit for purpose. I contacted the seller who offered a replacement which I initially accepted but later rejected and wanted a refund in full which the seller refused saying they Do Not give refund is unlawful and goes against the Consumer rights act 2015. Therefore I intend to issue proceedings against you in a county court without further notice unless you reimburse me the above amount in Full within 7 days from the date of this Letter     ------------------------------------------    I think its best if i hand him the letter as posting it might not get through so can claim expenses traveling up there ?   or would it be best to just post and get 'Signed for'  ?   Should i also put in the letter of claim interest added or leave that till the Particulars letter ?

    • Sorry to shatter your leftie dreams 🤣😂🤣😂     Donald Trump gets a SIX-POINT bump in approval after being found guilty on 34 counts according to snap Daily Mail poll: 'I think it was a waste of taxpayer money' WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK Teflon Don rides again, according to an exclusive poll for DailyMail.com which found that the guilty verdict in Manhattan... James Johnson, who conducted the poll, said Trump might be waking up as convicted felon but he was winning over the voters who matter.   Our snap poll of a representative sample of likely voters shows that for most Americans the trial has not changed their deep-set views of Trump,' he said.  'But amongst those who are open to changing their mind, people feel more positive by a margin of 6 points. That is outside of the margin of the error of the poll and we are saying that is significant. 'It extends to Independent voters too. Look at the explanations and it is clear why: people feel it was a politically motivated trial and view Trump as a "fighter" against what they see as injustice.

    • 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.

Lambeth council gave me PCN and the inspector claimed it was handed to me. THE TICKET INSPECTOR LIED, I have a witness and told them this.

 

I never recieved the PCN and the ticket inspector made a false statement. Lambeth refused to conduct a proper investigation and I got a letter through the post claiming an "administrative error".

 

The question is am I entitled to compensation?

 

Thanks

I don't think its fair just to be able to back out of it like that. If I make a false statement I am liable for a £5000 fine!

I agree, but in trying to claim compensation (and I haven't a clue how to or on what legal basis etc) I just think you will be giving yourself a great deal of grief with very little return. I would just be thankful that the lying bas***ds haven't got away with my money

Yeah I know but Lambeth, well they're not even interested in investigating it. When I complained (not to parking but about the fraud) in their reply they did not even mention if they had interrogated him. I told them I had a witness.... did not ask for a statement, they told me the onus was on me to provide the evidence.

 

They guy wrote on his pocket book "ticket handed to a white boy" so when I complained about that they dealt with the dodgy non pc remark and not the fraud!

 

Thieves!

As I understand it is an offense for anyone to make a false statement and this includes council officers. If you feel that you are not getting a fair deal from Lambeth Council you should make a formal complaint to the Local Government Ombudsman.

Who would you expect compensation from? Lambeth Council has listened to your concerns and cancelled the PCN, no one at the Council has lied to you and you cannot say for sure that an the CEO who works for a Council contractor has not been spoken to or even still works for the company? At the end of the day its your word against his and even if you managed to get the Police to get involved they would be unlikely to convince the CPS there was enough evidence to go to Court.

You may find this hard to beleive but drivers also lie constantly in order to get off and make some far fetched allegations. If every occurence of a CEO 'allegedly' not telling the truth was investigated as a criminal offence the Police would be very busy.

Ok well I'm not happy about the ticket man lying but lets look at it from a different angle.

 

Regardless of the lying surely to issue a charge he should have evidence. He did not have evidence for whatever reason as clearly he was not following procedure. Therefore they have admitted an administrative error which in turn I have had to pay for the time and admin.

 

So each time a council worker decides not to follow procudere I have to pay for the admin?

 

I dont see how thats fair? Maybe I'll just keep complaining to cost them a but more time :D

"Dodgy non pc"....it was RACIST. Period.

 

You should make this the subject of another complaint, pile on the agony.

 

Try a Freedom of Information Act request to see if there have been other complaints against the operator. If you can't get them one way, get them another.

Without full details of the case its hard to pass judgement but appealling usually only requires a letter and a stamp which if you applied for costs would take another letter and stamp and not leave you any better off?

If you wish to go down that route the Council should be entitled to costs in dealing with frivolous appeals. The entire decriminalised procedure was designed to keep costs down on both sides without expensive court and legal costs. If the CEO had put the PCN on the car and it was later removed by another person before you returned rather than 'handing it to a white boy' would you still say he had lied? For all you know if you were not there is that someone said they were the driver and took the PCN for a joke.

How is 'white' being racist?? Don't you mean 'boy' is being sexist or even ageist? If the driver was asian how would you expect him to be described....male with nice sun tan?? :rolleyes:

Not possible as I saw the inspector AND I TOLD THEM I SAW HIM! I said nothing, got in my car and drove off. I had not indication from him that he was giving me a ticket and he said nothing, i said nothing to him also. Clearlty that must of been writing a ticket but am I meant go up up and ask him? Apparantly he said when he gave me the ticket i said thankyou... :mad: He was lying. Also "White boy" is a derogatory term... unlike "White man" which is descriptive.

 

I work in care and if I would never and would not expect my staff/colleges to refer to a service user a "white boy", CSCI would be down in a flash!

I had two PCNs last year on exactly the same grounds - they claimed to have handed the PCN to me and clearly did not. I paid the first one, but with the second one I made an appeal to PATAS. I presented a statement from my passenger. I asked to appear in person, and that I would also like the PA to appear so I could cross examine him. Unsurprisingly Westminster dropped the case the day before.

Do not be concerned about threats regarding false statements. They would need to prove that you did. If you tell the truth then they can't ever prove it!
