    • its not about the migrants .. Barrister Helena Kennedy warns that the Conservatives will use their victory over Rwanda to dismantle the law that protects our human rights here in the UK.   Angela Rayner made fun of Rishi Sunak’s height in a fiery exchange at Prime Minister’s Questions, which prompted Joe Murphy to ask: just how low will Labour go? .. well .. not as low as sunak 
    • From #38 where you wrote the following, all in the 3rd person so we don't know which party is you. When you sy it was your family home, was that before or after? " A FH split to create 2 Leasehold adjoining houses (terrace) FH remains under original ownership and 1 Leasehold house sold on 100y+ lease. . Freeholder resides in the other Leasehold house. The property was originally resided in as one house by Freeholder"
    • The property was our family home.  A fixed low rate btl/ development loan was given (last century!). It was derelict. Did it up/ was rented out for a while.  Then moved in/out over the years (mostly around school)  It was a mix of rental and family home. The ad-hoc rents covered the loan amply.  Nowadays  banks don't allow such a mix.  (I have written this before.) Problems started when the lease was extended and needed to re-mortgage to cover the expense.  Wanted another btl.  Got a tenant in situ. Was located elsewhere (work). A broker found a btl lender, they reneged.  Broker didn't find another btl loan.  The tenant was paying enough to cover the proposed annual btl mortgage in 4 months. The broker gave up trying to find another.  I ended up on a bridge and this disastrous path.  (I have raised previous issues about the broker) Not sure what you mean by 'split'.  The property was always leasehold with a separate freeholder  The freeholder eventually sold the fh to another entity by private agreement (the trust) but it's always been separate.  That's quite normal.  One can't merge titles - unless lease runs out/ is forfeited and new one is not created/ granted. The bridge lender had a special condition in loan offer - their own lawyer had to check title first.  Check that lease wasn't onerous and there was nothing that would affect good saleability.  The lawyer (that got sacked for dishonesty) signed off the loan on the basis the lease and title was good and clean.  The same law firm then tried to complain the lease clauses were onerous and the lease too short, even though the loan was to cover a 90y lease extension!! 
    • Northmonk forget what I said about your Notice to Hirer being the best I have seen . Though it  still may be  it is not good enough to comply with PoFA. Before looking at the NTH, we can look at the original Notice to Keeper. That is not compliant. First the period of parking as sated on their PCN is not actually the period of parking but a misstatement  since it is only the arrival and departure times of your vehicle. The parking period  is exactly that -ie the time youwere actually parked in a parking spot.  If you have to drive around to find a place to park the act of driving means that you couldn't have been parked at the same time. Likewise when you left the parking place and drove to the exit that could not be describes as parking either. So the first fail is  failing to specify the parking period. Section9 [2][a] In S9[2][f] the Act states  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Your PCN fails to mention the words in parentheses despite Section 9 [2]starting by saying "The notice must—..." As the Notice to Keeper fails to comply with the Act,  it follows that the Notice to Hirer cannot be pursued as they couldn't get the NTH compliant. Even if the the NTH was adjudged  as not  being affected by the non compliance of the NTK, the Notice to Hirer is itself not compliant with the Act. Once again the PCN fails to get the parking period correct. That alone is enough to have the claim dismissed as the PCN fails to comply with PoFA. Second S14 [5] states " (5)The notice to Hirer must— (a)inform the hirer that by virtue of this paragraph any unpaid parking charges (being parking charges specified in the notice to keeper) may be recovered from the hirer; ON their NTH , NPE claim "The driver of the above vehicle is liable ........" when the driver is not liable at all, only the hirer is liable. The driver and the hirer may be different people, but with a NTH, only the hirer is liable so to demand the driver pay the charge  fails to comply with PoFA and so the NPE claim must fail. I seem to remember that you have confirmed you received a copy of the original PCN sent to  the Hire company plus copies of the contract you have with the Hire company and the agreement that you are responsible for breaches of the Law etc. If not then you can add those fails too.

    • 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.

Royal mail is currently having issues with its tracking system. I have complained and here is there response.

 

Dear The GodMother

 

Thank you for your email regarding the Signed For items you recently

posted.

 

Unfortunately we currently have a major IT issue with Royal Mail Tracked

scanned items being recorded on Scanners, but NOT flowing through to the

Tracking Web site and Tracking Enquiry Intranet site. This situation has

been occurring intermittently and our IT supplier, CSC, is investigating

the issue urgently.

 

This means that the tracking of your despatches though our network may not

be showing, even when delivery has taken place.

 

We understand the full importance of this issue to you and we are treating

it as a top priority. Please accept our apologies.

 

With regards

 

Carol Wilson

Receipt said it would be there for 1.00.pm, so went online to check at 1.05pm. To my surprise it said it was delivered. After speaking to my dad, he said it was there about 9.00am.

 

Thumbs up to RM from me I'm afraid.

 

p.s. It also says on the web that the minimum charge for next day special delivery is £10.30, that is for items up to 100g. My parcel was 360g and they only charged me £5.05. :-D

there is no problem with them finding out if the item has been delivered what the problem is is gaining the signature as that is a issue for the comps. All my packages have been saying they are delivered but non have a signature.

 

Yes u can get a refund but you need to wait 15 days after delivery for Recorded delivery and depending on the service u chose and what your guarenteed delivery date is with special but u can get a refund with this service.

 

I have been told if any dobt please contact the RM customer services line as they will be able to personally advise you more.

You will find that if you put any of these numbers into the link below, you will be given alternative numbers. For instance:- 0906 302 222. You can actually dial 08457 111222. It gets you through to the same place for 10p per min instead of 50p. Also, Most 0845 numbers you put in will be replaced with an 01 or 02 landline number. Give it a try. It works when you are trying to contact your Bank, Gas/Electricity company. In fact it will nearly always give you a landline number instead of having to pay top prices to be stuck on the phone for hours.;)

sometimes you even get 0800 numbers. The companies hate this site. We love it.

We checked out items sent by recorded delivery, one was to Kilmarnock in Scotland and the other was to the Town next door to us. The Kilmarnock one was delivered the next day as, paid for, however, the one to the town next door has go walkies.

 

So we called royal mail up, now I am sure she was trying to get as many gags in as possible or trying to get fired.

 

Royal Mail can't keep track of its Postmen never mind the post.

 

Royal mail tries to Deliver first class post the next day, however the next day to what no one knows.

 

Royal Mail handle 50 Million items a day however how many millions are lost and broken, I wouldn't like to guess.

 

So when will my next day delivery be delivered? You can't tell, you can't mess around with the forces of Delivery.

 

At this stage I gave up.

 

So if you posted something to Scotland or other side of the UK great it will be there tomoz, if its the next town, you better take it yourself. My claim for lost items will be going in as my gf DOB Certificate was in it and details about me.

I posted a parcel on 09/01/09 at 9-25am it is now 20/01/09 the tracking system tells me it is out for delivery today,but it told me that yesterday, I have e-mailed twice without a response and phoned the 0845 number from the website, this is an automated message system that also told me parcel out for delivery today.

I need to talk to a person and find out where my important parcel is, can anyone supply with a phone number that gets me through to a real person. This experience with royal mail has left me with no confidence whatsoever. This is now 11 days and the parcel not arrived

Any help I can get guys for my issue would be great, I posted a 240 x 180 jiffy last tuesday 31/06/11 with a single stick of faulty ram inside and its still apparently not arrived at its destination by today 07/06/11 . I'm fed up with being given the runaround by the computer system and the automated service through their phones so I'm just wondering if I can get a human anywhere to help because it seems impossible to me that this company should be allowed to say sorry we can't track post even tho we provide tracking numbers or that our system can't track the mail even though its being checked through the system at a myriad of different points even more so when you consider my parcel would have to have been handled by humans as it was too big to be handled mechanically :( I am one not impressed user of royal mails services I have lost countless items over the years through these people but this year is taking the biscuit 4 items already whether recorded or first class have been lost by them with no real response on their part. pls any advice would be welcome
