    • For the moment do nothing, never appeal, wait for a letter before action, ignore all the tripe they send you other than that.
    • as another of farages faragit reformatory boy shows his true colours Ian Gribbin, the party's candidate in Bexhill and Battle claimed * ' the country would be "far better" if it had "taken Hitler up on his offer of neutrality" instead of fighting the Nazis in World War Two. err tell that to the russians - who did .. * said people should  “exorcise the cult of Churchill and recognize that in both policy and military strategy, he was abysmal”. * Praised Russian president Vladimir Putin as he: "understands the bonds that create more stable societies; the hypocrisy of the West is preposterous as we stare in the face daily the enormous economic equalities created by our deluded neo liberal ideas" and "if only the West had politicians of his class".   * 'women were the "sponging gender" and should be "deprived of health care". * "Men pay 80% of tax – women spend 80% of tax revenue. On aggregate as a group you only take from society. Less complaining please from the 'sponging gender'." - Wonder what his momma thinks of that?   On being caught out, cribbin initially refused to comment before belatedly and weakly 'apologising' A Reform spokesman said the comments were “written with an eye to inconvenient perspectives and truths”. Chairman Tice said “We’re really pleased with all candidates." Leader Farage seemed to think the greens vetting OUT and suspending 20 unsuitable candidates was a 'bigger problem' than reform not only leaving **** the unsuitable in, but also being apologists for them     Reform candidate says UK should have ‘taken Hitler’s neutrality offer’ WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK He also praised Russian president Vladimir Putin and described Winston Churchill as ‘abysmal’   Reform UK candidate apologises over Hitler neutrality comments WWW.BBC.CO.UK Ian Gribbin says his grandparents were "Russian Jews fleeing persecution" and his comments were taken out of context.

    • 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.

or, failing that, castration and/or emasculation would be appropriate.

 

 

Dunno 'bout castration but they is already emasculated which is why they have to threaten the old & infirm in order to get their jollies

Yep lets all nominate CAG and then start advertising in their magazine. :D

That would be great. CAG turning up and winning an award, and hopefully the gang from 1st Credit will be there so I can throw sprouts at Uncle Bob.

Check out the 'Debt Counsellor of the Year' Award selection criteria!

 

 

• Dealing sympathetically and constructively with hardship cases

• Turning can’t pays into can pays where appropriate

• Technical and legal knowledge

• Listening and communication skills

• Raising awareness of personal debt issues within the company/agency

 

 

Hilarious! Funnier and yet more ridiculous than anything I came up with in this thread. Even better that it's supposedly sponsored by AIC, and we all know what they're like! Better still in that NONE of the above can I associate with any DCA in practice today.

It's said that crushing the gonads between two bricks is extremely effective.....but watch your thumbs. :grin::grin:

 

No problems for the DCA staff then. Most of them have no thumbs.:D

Erm yeah. How exactly do you turn a can't pay into a can pay? Give them some money maybe, hope they win the lottery?

 

Or just hassle and threaten until they go without food to send you some money?

 

I know which ones the DCA's choose. :mad:

I'd like to see another category: "White Flag Award", for which I would nominate Credit Security for scuttling off with their tails between their legs after just one Curly Ben "bemused" letter.

Before you criticise another man you should first walk a mile in his shoes. Then, when you criticise him, you'll be a mile away and he won't have any shoes on.

 

Don't get me confused with somebody knowledgeable by all those green blobs. I got most of them by making people laugh.

Here is another one Best CCA Maker we all know how DCA's love to make those cca's

Ooh they could do a 'Generation Game Task' - you know like the old ones with Brucie?

Get them all down the front of the stage with blank A4 sheets, some crayons and stickers, see if they could follow 'an expert'...

Although who the expert would be is another matter...

We will not be intimidated.

'The pen is mightier than the sword'.

Petition to Outlaw Debt Sale and Purchase

- can't read/post much as eye strain's v.bad.

VIVA CAG!!! :)

The expert would be a 3-year old putting square pegs into square holes.

I would like them to decorate a gingerbread man, or persuade me to pay them something over the phone without an enforceable CCA.

 

Or a DCA chimp send me a PM saying nasty things. :p

 

Or do they just try and prey on vunerable people? The type that to CAG are becoming a rare breed.

Could we have another catagory of 'Most Inept Supporting Solicitor'?

 

Mortimer Clarke was front runner for me, after issuing a claim which included a mystery co-defendant (which MC had to discontinue, and then ran away).

 

But I think they have recently been surpassed by Howard Cohen with their latest batch of claims in which the Particulars of Claim refer to the wrong bank. They then tried to rectify this by sending defendants a backdated letter with new POCs which had the wrong account number!

I think we should go for the

 

Contribution to the Credit Industry award....

 

or the

 

Best Payment Culture award (only pay if you can prove the debt exists and you have the correct paperwork - now how difficult is that?)

Optima Legal would be my choice for that one. They send out idiotice letters for MBNA with an I&E form on the back - they don't have any return address to write to and have had loads of complaints about this. Numpties.

How about

 

"Most stupid 'made up name' on letters..." This could be company name and personal name. I'd go for the old "Bureau of Debtors of England and Wales." as used by Robinson Way et al...

 

What about the hilariously entitled Lowell ''Licensed Field Agents''

 

So secret are these agents that no-one has actually seen one of them. Personally I think they are just a figment of Andy Bartle's vivid imagination.
