    • 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.

The wife has had quite a few deposits made into her account (10 in total) spread over nearly 18 months.

 

Initially she just assumed it would be taken back out...it wasn't so we just assumed it was the fault of the company sending the money by mistake and used it (bills cost of living ect).

 

The bank wrote too the wife stating that she has received monies that wasn't destined for her and has asked her too call them too propose how she will repay the money...nearly 15k.

 

Obviously there's no question we (i will as she doesn't work as twins under 2yrs old) will pay it back,however would have too be a monthly arrangement....would this be dealt with just by the bank or would it be a police matter...while she/we have been stupid too spend the money it wasn't done with malice just ignorance.

 

Should i speak directly too bank (wife"s from overseas so English is great) or speak too a solicitor and ask them too deal with it.

 

Advice on where we (she) stands legally would be most welcome:(

I think legally she will have to repay money...there is case law on it. We had money wrongly paid into our business accounts and didbt realize and spent it and then got a demand from natwest to repay 2.5k. They took us to court and got a ccj against the business.

 

If I was her i would write to the bank offerinf to repay at a monthly amount and make sure everything is in writing in case it goes to court.

 

Speaking with a legal expert might be a good idea or could try citizens advice.

 

good luck

They have asked her too phone them (quite a polite letter actually)...would she be better off wrighting or intialy calling.

 

No question about re-paying...we know it must be and are happy too.

 

Do you know if its a civil or police matter.?

Keep all communications in writing and keep copies. That way, you have a permanent record of what each side has said.

If you speak to them on the phone, you could be pressurised into agreeing a higher repayment rate than you can afford.

Or they could claim that you agreed this and you agreed that.......

 

Everything in writing.

 

Regards, Rooster.

It is a civil matter - she has not deliberately stolen the money - you need to have the intention to steal to commit theft.

Hi,

 

Found this...........

 

It is a legal requirement to pay the money back - the criminal offence is to "retain a wrongful credit".

 

The BBA says that its members would give individuals a 'reasonable amount of time' to return amounts accidentally deposited in the wrong account.

 

Theft Act 1968 S.24A Retaining a wrongful credit

 

Off the top of my head it is an offence to knowingly retain a wrongful credit and dishonestly fail to take steps to rectify the wrongful credit.

 

"It is 'wrongful' if it is the credit side of a money transfer obtained contrary to S15A (Theft Act 1968).

 

It is also 'wrongful' to the extent that it derives from:

 

a) theft;

b) an offence under S 15A (obtaining a money transfer by deception

c) blackmail;

d) stolen goods"

 

By the definition of the law, it looks as if the meaning of 'wrongful' does not easily indicate on this occassion an error or miscalculation but in this case the proceeds of a criminal act.

 

For those scurrying around to look up the S15A ....

 

"A person is guilty of an offence if by any means he dishonestly obtains a money transfer for himself or another."

 

Is it dishonest, as he didn't ask for the money nor did he decieve anyone into doing anything that would have gained him the swag.

 

 

 

Don't know if that helps much :rolleyes:

 

Regards.

 

Scott.

Yes Scott bang on.

There have been a few similar instances on the site in the last couple of years as I recall.

The Banks are very reluctant to involve Police since its not something they want to shout about-it shows a very bad lapse of their duty of care and operations.The fact that it was happening oer a period of 18 months would also suggest that there has been a breakdown in their ability to spot this-adding more to their embarrassment.

In light of the bad press and public feelings at the moment-the last thing they would want is for these kinds of things to be made public-however it should not be any excuse to capitalise on it-merely something to be aware of if they do try to force conditional repayments which are not within your means.

Thought id give an update...:confused:

 

Phoned the bank in question and spoke too the person dealing with the matter and was told that they would not be getting involved and it was down too me too deal directly with the company who had made the payments.

 

Person dealing with it was quite rude and blunt about ""she couldn't possibly have not noticed the credits"" at which point i said i was going too end the conversation.

 

Contacted the company in question and a very nice lady explained what had gone wrong...openly said that all parties involved were in the wrong (which i think is a fair comment).

 

Ive made a verbal offer too be paid monthly and am now waiting on there response.

 

They did ask for an address for correspondence...im thinking of giving them a c/o address and making them aware its a c/o address.

 

I will of course follow this up in writing so i have a hard copy of whats been agreed.

 

Any further advice on what too do or maybe more importantly NOT to do would be very welcome.

Although the bank have maybe told that they will not be getting involved,it would be impossible for them not to be involved should the third party seek legal redress or involve the Police-my thoughts are that they have told the third party to sort it out diplomatically with you.

Although its possible that they have given them some undertakings that you wont be aware of.

In the absence of a solution or satisfaction to the other party,I fail to see how the bank would not be forced to become directly involved.

My feelings are maybe she was just very unhelpful and just a tad condescending.....:(

 

The company who had sent the money have phoned since last update and while the woman i initially spoke too said she felt the offer of monthly payments was reasonable she has too speak too the legal department and find out what the next step is..will be updated mid week so im told.

 

Im left wondering what they could be up too...already explained that the wife only receives standard benefits (very small amount of tax credits and the usual child benefit) so i hope they realise that taking us too court wouldn't help.

 

She also said that the very last payment received the bank would be reclaiming that....seems odd.

 

Now have too sit and worry until the get back in contact.:(

My guess is that the bank are going to make the first payment-which probably acts in 2 ways-it starts off the agreement and also covers a missed payment from you should that happen-so then you would make this last payment to the bank.
