    • The Contract itself The airport is actually owned by the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan. There should be an authority from them for Bristol airport group  to sign on their behalf. Without it the contract is invalid. The contract has so many  clauses redacted that it is questionable as to its fairness with regard to the Defendants ability to receive a fair trial. In the case of WH Holding Ltd, West Ham United Football Club Ltd -v- E20 Stadium LLP [2018],  In reaching its decision, the Court gave a clear warning to parties involved in litigation: ‘given the difficulties and suspicions to which extensive redaction inevitably gives rise, parties who decide to adopt such an appropriate in disclosure must take enhanced care to ensure that such redactions are accurately made, and must be prepared to suffer costs consequences if they are not’. The contract is also invalid as the signatories are required to have their signatures co-signed by independent witnesses. There is obviously a question of the date of the signatures not being signed until 16 days after the start of the contract. There is a question too about the photographs. They are supposed to be contemporaneous not taken several months before when the signage may have been different or have moved or damaged since then. The Defendant respectfully asks the Court therefore to treat the contract as invalid or void. With no contract there can be no breach. Indeed even were the contract regarded as valid there would be no breach It is hard to understand why this case was brought to Court as there appears to be no reasonable cause to apply to the DVLA.............

    • 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.

Hiya

 

I am addicted to this site - I find it so interesting being able to see how other people are doing with their claims. I was just wondering if anyone has actually had their bank account closed by the halifax following fees being reclaimed?

Yes they closed my cheque account after a few weeks. They offered half the amount, I claimed I cannot remember whether I took it (I am ill) don't think I did as it was less than £200 and was hoping the case would win and I would get the full amount.

 

Anyway I am long term disabled and not having a debit visa card is very hard for me I constantly have to use my boyfriend or mothers card or even my son's to buy anything over the phone or on the web.

 

I asked them to reopen the account but they told me to apply for a new one and they turned me down twice :(. I know I don't have the best credit rating but I have a savings account with them for my benefits to be paid into which they didn't close and as I had an ongoing account I cannot understand why I am being penalized for doing what millions of others did. :jaw:Also I had been with them for years.

As I am not 'goodly creditworthily' I cannot get an account anywhere else either. Can anyone please advise me whether or not I can legally get my account reinstated/

 

Thank you in advance.

Lady

 

PS. I had to laugh at one of the threads where someone said that being a democracy the banks shouldn't be bound to do business with people they don't want to and then recently all the bailouts. OK then, we shouldn't have to bail them out then :|. What was all that about anyway? As you can see I am no financial wizard but I do believe in fairness and banks are less than fair.

Thanks for letting me know about that.

I am going to look at the account but if that is the price whether you use it or not that is absolutely mad, I couldn't afford to have one actually. I think anyone who can must be not on benefits lol which is part of the problem.

Cheers anyway

Hello and Welcome, Ladydawn.

 

Not sure if you noticed but this is a very old thread from july 2006.

 

My account with HBOS was closed after I reclaimed charges, I had it for about 25 years, that's how much they value your custom, they don't give a jot !!!

 

Good to see you on the Forum, hope you enjoy your time here.

 

Regards.

 

Scott.

Thanks ever so much for you nice welcomes.

Yeah they don't really value our custom at all, none of the big companies do sadly, and the old independent family companies are no more (hardly)::evil:.

The guaranteed approval bank I looked into seem to have an aweful lot of control over your financial affairs. The money management that is offered seems more like we take hold of your wages/benefits and you can't have any money if you don't leave our required amount in for your bills :|., May seem sensible if you have capital but some of us don't and we have to rob Peter to pay Paul some weeks and still avoid bank charges in order to get food in the mouths of the family.

Banks seem to think everyone has enough for everything, they just don't live in my world otherwise I wouldn't have been desperate to claim back a paltry £360 charges in the first place :O.

It is sad but people in our financial situation really cannot afford to do business by bank, as charges or monthly fees accrue too easily. My grandmother/grandfather's generation of working class hated banks, I can see why.

Take care all

I know where your coming from, and now with the adds on the telly telling you they are now your best friend and good honest caring Banks, total hogwash.

You should be able to get a Basic account with most Banks, I got one with the co-op and my credit ratings trashed !!!

Good on the Co op. I live in a small town, only 4 banks, the Natwest won't have me, Halifax of course is a nono, will try a basic with Barclays and HBOS (hey you never know), well I can imagine they will turn me down for looking after my money, stupid idea, charging people for holding their money when you have designed a society where it is essential. I don't even want to borrow anything off them :|

Blehhh I do rant sorry.

lol thanks will try the Co op online if it exists :)
