    • 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.

Hi Les, i had a Mortgage with mortgages plc (Glasgow), where was your mortgage held and where did you write to for your DAR?

Up until June this year it's probably cost me about £500.00+ in admin charges and it cost me over £3k in ERC.

Could you please give me advice on what letters you used from the start of your claim!?

I have a feeling this is gonna be a fight with Mortgages PLC!

Cheers in advance..

T.D.:-)

Hi Tracey,

 

Cor 18k that must be a record! Unfortunately this brings your claim into the multi track. There is a possibility that this could go to the High Court where only barristers can appear. Csts can escalate considerably and you will be liable if you lose. It may well be worth waiting and seeing how the current claims against Kensington are progressing before making a decision as to whether to proceed.

 

All the best

Haha Blackrain, I 've just posted on your other thread we must have been typing simultaneously. Lol

 

Both Lickthewall and thunderpuss got the same reply from BM but they paid out without submitting a defence.

 

If you wanted to respond to the no breach argument check out my letter in this thread:

They are only trying to take a cheap way out Gina, because they know they don't have a defence worth scribbling down. Stay with the plan and you will get every penny they owe you, even if it takes a little longer.

thanks very much tamadus you are right, so what do we do if thursday (deadline) comes and we dont hear anything, i have never taken a claim this far before. the thought of going to court is very scary!!

 

I dont know how far into the claim you are Gina, I'm guessing they have to file their defence, If they don't then apply for judgement by default, if they do the court will send you an Allocation Questionaire. Fill it in using the sample in the library and start getting your court pack together just in case they do decide to set the precident none of them want to.

 

Dont worry that you haven't gone this far yet, I just sent back my first AQ :D

 

The advantage we have over them is the wonderful support and guidance this site gives us.

Ok, you are gong to want to slap me now. I don't want to slip up though so just going to check.....read Gizmos thread about a partner. My wife and I held the mortgage account so the court claim should be in both our names is that right?

 

No worries. You've done good work on this area.

 

Bit confused here Zoot. I thought MCOL only took one name or have I read this thread wrong somewhere?

I did the claim in my name alone as this is all that is allowed under mcol, but all the letters (prelim and LBA) were signed by myself and my husband and the cheque was made out to us both. No one ever queried it.

 

Hope this helps

Hi Mike

-

 

You can claim these

I Have a question what about £750 arrangement fees? are these perfectly

legal?

 

 

Very expensive arrangement fee but yes unfortunately these are lawful as they do not relate to a breach of contract.

 

is it the same scenario RE- ERCs in Scotland would I have to make 2 claims against Kennsington,as it will be above £1,500 ?

 

 

 

Unfortunately you can not split ERCs.

 

Hope this helps

 

Zoot
