    • Your attachment showing the cinema parking restrictions seems crystal clear. Let's see what the photos turn up.
    • Meter certification periods re given in The Meters (Certification) Regulations 1998, Schedule 4. From there you can check if they are correct about your specific meter .. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1998/1566/schedule/4 If they're telling porkies then you have e clear grounds to tell them to take  hike. If they're correct or if you haven't been able to confirm then you have  few options. You could just keep fobbing them off. In general Octopus can't keep up with demand for smart meters. It took 9 months to get our. So they may not push too hard. Or ask if you can install your own choice of meter. The Electricity Act 1989 cover this in Schedule 7 (2) and (2A) https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1989/29/schedule/7 Or fight the them and their enforcement. Or go off supply.
    • We received a copy of the completed Directions Questionnaire (N181) from the solicitors along with a draft copy of their directions. I am on a course today so can upload over the weekend if needed. By 4pm on 16th May both parties must each give standard disclosure of documents by way of list by category. By 4pm on 30th May any request for inspection or copies of docs must be made and compiled 14 days thereafter. I will provide more over the weekend.
    • Have you asked for advice from your students union people? HB
    • I (and other respondents) always advise “not getting caught in a lie” it hardens their response. Why would they now believe protestations of remorse and “I won’t do it again” if they've already seen you'd lie and say it was a one-off when it wasn't..  You can try approaching the prosecutor on the day, but "I wouldn't hold my breath" …..

    • 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 fletch101,

 

I also deliberated over severing my claim, and decided to claim for it in one go as severing does not permit you to recover the cumulative effect of their charges. My thread for a claim of >£6400 is:

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/lloyds-bank/4887-beans-timeline-joint-acct.html?highlight=Bean

 

I also have a thread for my Lloyds TSB credit card for about £300, for which I issued my claim in the local County Court last Friday.

 

You're doing fine, keep rolling,

Regards,

Bean

Having read Beans Timeline way back in those glorious days of summer and finaly getting my usual laid back a*** in to action I have just returned from Basildon County Court after dropping in my claim pack. what a wonderful feeling I had thinkig about the ppayout in a few months from the savings account that the bank had set up for me without them realising it. I would have got around to this eventualy but after a phone call fron Brighton at the weekend was just the kick up the backside I needed, the very helpful man at the other end! told me quote "The bank is not here to help you." This is not taken at all out of context and I would love to know if I have any rights in obtaining a copy of the phone call that may be recorded for security and training purposses. I must admit this fraze did bring a smile to my face as we have knowen this for a long time. I will try not to be away for to long this time and will keep you informmed of any progress. anyway thanks so far CAG and Bean for that encoragement

Hope you all had a good Chrismas and wishing you all a very prosperous new year.

Guess what? defence arrived 22/12/2006 so have got to return AQ by 08/01/2007 is this when it starts to get scary or what. Anyway it was a nice but expected Christmas prissie shame they couldn't show a bit of festive chear and credit my account but still I suppose its my own fault realy if I'd started the claim when I should have it would be all over now, but it is something to look foward to.

Any body direct me to threads that are about any one whose been allocated a fast track? Just incase....

Well I got my AQ from SC&M today also an offer to settle in full with the normal conditions applyed wont be accepting it as I dont think I should keep quiet about the truth I mean how many credit referance agencies have the banks misinformed about my finances in the past. My AQ is due at the court on Monday so it will be delivered by hand I dontknow if I have done the right thing but I have ticked the fast track box on mine SC&M have ticked the small claim one I can only assume that they dont want to disclose something or other!

The funny thing is that I fell less nuvious now it must be because I have it in black and white that they are willing to settle.

Hi fletch,

First of all good luck with the claim, and yes no point in agreeing to a confidentiality agreement. How did you calculate your interest? Standard 8%? I am asking because I am thinking of going for compound complex interest and I am nervous about the prospect of losing the court case and paying up the £1000 in fees (though I have been told £750) either way its loads of cash to me.

Have I misunderstood something, but haven't you won your claim if you have been offered a full settlement? Or are you just proceeding with the claim until you have all the conditions removed?

 

Congratulations by the way for getting the full settlement offer

 

Regards

 

Paula

Thats correct. In the fast track costs can be awarded against you up to a maximum of £750. Small claims track theres obviously a no-costs rule, and in the multi-track I think its unlimited.

 

However, even if a claim was to get to court and you were to lose, the judge would still have to order costs against you for you to be liable for them - they are'nt imposed automatically. The chances of a judge ordering costs against a consumer who is acting in person in favour of a multi national financial institution are - I would have thought - fairly slim.

That's really good to know.

Took my AQ to court yesterday along with the fee and posted copy to SC&M along with a letter saying "that I do not accept their conditions but thanks for the offer, see you in court." While filling out my AQ (N150) I noticed that SC&M had used AQ (N149) used for a small claim only so I assume if its ok for the experts it must be ok for me evan though the claim is nealy double the ammount for a small claim I also included a copy of jonni2bad s "respectfully request" letter from the templates libuary, no such letter included from the other side so I presume thay must think they are more important than the judge I'm sure it must be better to be a little humble at times.Thanks for your words of support I've got to go soon but should be back on latter.

Just drafted a copy of KAZZAW judgement (post 15) check it out if you havn't and will be sending a copy to County Court and SC&M first thing in the morning. I feel at this point I must appologise to all users of the internet for thinking they were all Geeks I can not beleive how much information can be had of one site. Keep up the great work and there will be a donation coming your way sooner rather than later I hope. I'll have to have a few lessons from my daughters between "homework sesions" and thanks to you I've a few more claims to make when this is over. Hope you dont mind but I think I'll have to tell a few people about this site. Got to go now be back sometime tomorrow.
