    • retailer said they'd speak to dpd on Tuesday. I don't want to screw the retailer because they were doing me a favour by fixing it for free  I hope dpd will refund them so they don't lose out. Will keep you guys posted. 
    • Well, we live on the same road so it should be the same postcode. When I spoke to dpd and asked why were my neighbours' address not on the list and she said maybe they're not of the same postcode and I checked and they definitely were. Not to mention, delivery instructions are supposed to override actual customer's address which is why they asked for instructions I thought.
    • again a quick google search states Appeal a DVLA fine - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) i would not be appealing mind. it's only a summary charge which they rarely do court on and pass out the powerless DCA's whom are not bailiffs they have 6mts. see where they go. as you've sorn'd it will probably be nulled. dx  
    • There are a number of reasons why you may not have been issued a notice in the post within 14 days. If you were stopped by the police it may have been given verbally. In the case of speeding offences, the police may issue you with a conditional offer of a fixed penalty of 3 points and £100.00 fine by post or an offer of a speed awareness course. If the offence is considered too serious for a speed awareness course or fixed penalty you may be charged with an offence which normally occurs by way of the issue of a Single Justice Procedure Notice. If the vehicle within which the alleged offence took place was registered to another person or company there is technically no need for a notice to be issued to the driver. After the police have obtained details of the nominated the driver, they will normally send the notice to them, although there are no time limits within which they must do so (provided that the notice was received within 14 days by the registered keeper of the vehicle). In such circumstances, a person may receive a notice several months after the alleged offence too place but still be prosecuted. A Guide to a Notice of Intended Prosecution | Motoring Offence Lawyers the above copy n paste link has purely been copy n pasted here to inform you of the regs, which you could have done yourself by, as this is, a google search......... we do not ever recommend using such offered webservices! dont dx

    • 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.

I joined CAG a couple of weeks ago to get some help with DCA's but since then I have been unable to stay away. Not even for a day. Maybe I need counselling:D

It's getting so bad that I'm actually starting to help other people with their problems and to make things worse, I'm having panic attacks whenever the site is down. This morning I couldn't log on and I started praying and I'm athiest!!!

I've even thought about making up problems so that I have reasons to come here. OH GOD (see I'm at it again)

Do any of you have the same problem as me and what did you do about it??

Any help gratefully appreciated

I'm sorry to say this, but I too am a CAGaddict. It all started way back in February 2007 and I haven't been away since (except for when I take my annual family holiday and boy o boy was that a struggle to keep my addiction at bay).

 

As for what you can do about it, I have no idea. :(

 

I say, stand tall, stand proud, it is nothing to be ashamed of :D

 

 

 

 

I'm now off to get my daily fix of word association now to calm my nerves :D

The thing is- I'm a telly addict and now i'm totally conflicted. I can't do both at once. I've totally lost the plot on some programs i watch (some may say i lost the plot years ago-swines:???:) I sit on my computer chair day after day (getting a square backside in the process) and will someone to come on with a problem that I know something about. The problem is that I know nothing. ARRGGGHHH. All this typing is making my arm ache. Oh how i'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous:-D. NO! STOP! I must go and do something else:)

Hilary,

Be strong, you know you can do it but why oh why would you want to.

A daily fix of CAG is good for the soul and the withdrawal symptoms not worth it.

I only came on for some information and now i'm hooked on CAG. I think the site went down this afternoon for some maintenance and i had this overwhelming sense of loss. I really need to do something about this but I really can't be ar**d lol:-D

My name is Bookie and I am a CAGoholic too.

 

It has been 2 years and 9 months since I first got hooked on CAG. Before that, sure, I had dabbled in MSE for recreational use only, BCH for a bit, but it didn't really give me the right hit... Then this dodgy geezer Bankfodder gave me this address, told me it was free, so I thought: Well, what harm can it do? Besides, I knew I could give it up anytime I wanted.

 

So here I was for a couple of weeks, you know, just trying it out like, thinking, yeah, this is good sh*t, but still wary... Then this other dodgy geezer called Dave PMed me and offered me stronger stuff to hook me up: He asked me if I wanted to be a moderator on the site. Well, I didn't want to say yes to start with, not knowing where it would take me, but in the end the lure of more CAG got too much and I agreed, and there started the real downfall for me.

 

The rest of the story is well known to the regulars: I got pimped to Trevor McDonald for CAG, spending all my time here, my poor husband ended up buying me a laptop as an intervention to get me out of the computer cupboard, but nothing worked. I even ended up recruiting other people to CAG to support my addiction.

 

I am now slowly withdrawing from CAG and have even managed to sometimes spend a whole day away, but at heart I know it's no good: when I die and they cut me open, they'll still see CAG flowing through my veins and heart. And I'm glad, cos the hit you get from being a CAGger through and through is like nothing else. ;-)

I have to endure at least 12 days without CAG from Friday. How will I cope?, I will have to rely on that TV thing that I barely watch these days.

 

I hope BT don't make it any longer!, they were breaking data protection willy-nilly yesterday (I know who had my line before me, where they live and what course of recovery they are taking!)

 

I hope my sentence passes quickly..... :D
