    • Interesting question regarding what Government accounts opposition parties have access to, before an General Election. From what I understand, Government department accounts that are published are always lagging behind and would not include some amounts which are classified as 'commercially sensitive'.  Therefore opposition parties and Parliamentrary select committees would not have access to accounts which contain real time up to date information. If a new Government have found £20 billion of spending liabilities they did not know about, this could be true, as £20 billion is not that much when you look at total Government expenditure. Government department are making decisions on spending all of the time and it could be the previous Government were planning tax changes and/or spending cuts to balance the books.  Jeremy Hunt has recently said that if the Tories had stayed in Government and held an Autumn budget, it would have been very difficult to cut taxes as some had wanted.
    • Everyone knows the tories were hiding the costs - and even added 4 billion quid to the taxpayers high interest credit card to fund a chunk of the NI tax reduction - prime example - look at how much cost was hidden re the Rwanda dogwhistle -10 Billion quid     and re the handful of rebels on the benefit limit If the disasters (like the Rwanda rubbish) of Tory dogs being wagged by the extremist minority ERG tail doesn't highlight the issues ..

    • ok your WS is wrong. Paragraph 16 and 17 says  you did not contract with evri but this is not true - see below  Furthermore to the eBay Powered By Packlink T&Cs that Evri is referring to, Clauses 3b and c of the T&Cs states:  (b)   Packlink is a package dispatch search engine that acts as an intermediary between its Users and Transport Agencies. Through the Website, Users can check the prices that different Transport Agencies offer for shipments and contract with the Transport Agency that best suits their needs on-line. (c)  Each User shall then enter into its own contract with the chosen Transport Agency. Packlink does not have any control over, and disclaims all liability that may arise in contracts between a User and a Transport Agency post 251 of occy thread - £844 lost    you should also add a paragraph on donough v Stevenson talking about the fact that even without contract there is still duty of care to goods and by failing to deliver this duty has been breached.   Make those changes and post it back up here and I'll check over things again

    • 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 wrote to my mortgage firm requesting they pay back fees on my account if they could not demonstrate how they were made up, in return my mortgage firm basicly refused, now here is the interesting part over a period of time my mortgage firm have been sending me letters from other peoples accounts i.e mortgage statements with account details i.d ect ect so in responce to my decline i wrote back giving them 14 days to demonstrate how the fees are made up and if the could not demostrate it to return fees or court action! in addition to this i gave them a taster of the original documents i have received by way of account numbers of other peoples written at the end of the letter, within 1 day my old mortgage firm phoned me to discuss the matter, though you could see that there real intrest lied in the documents sent to me as they wanted them back, i said sorry not untill my issue is addressed as i may need to rely on this information with respect to letter charges, they said we cant give you a breakdown as how do we calculate an elctric bill and they went on to say the charges are just written we dont no how they are made up, after this she tried to get me to send the paperwork back again and i said no and that i had to go as i got work to do.

Today 2 days later and 3 days from writing my letter the have offered me £140 and asked how i want it paid and also asked for the documents, my fees are around £1500 they include letters fees arreas management fees, i d/d fees etc, i my original letter was a 14 day request or court.

I just need to know if i should persure or take the £140, they have stated they cant demonstrate the fees by phone call what do you think? and if you think i shoud pursue can you give me an idea of a letter to write?

Many thanks

Hi

 

Personally I would tell them to take a hike and send copys of the documents you have received with a complaint to the ICO. They are in serious breach of the DPA.

 

I would then send an LBA for the charges and if they refuse again put in a complaint to the FOS.

 

Just my view though.

Can't advise on letter im afraid but definately do not accept the money. They have cocked up big style and will be in serious doggy stuff if reported.....which they should be! What if someone else has received your details, definately a breach! Have you sent them an Subject Access Request letter for all the statements on your account and all other information they hold on you? The statements will detail the charges and show when they were applied. Definately report them with regards to this data protection breech though!

Hi!

thats what i'll do i think, i'll tell them i wont except, and yes i received all details by sar though am a little unsure of what charges i can claim as its a mortgage account, any feedback on this would be a great help.

 

Due to the fact that they didn't no how these charges were made up and in addition to this, there keeness to get the other peoples information back, i was thinking of writing one more letter before getting serious but stating that it is a final letter, though saying that what do you write to these people, and do you think its woth a shot?

I'd be very careful about what you say to them. If you're not it could be viewed that you're using the letters to, in effect, blackmail them in to paying you money - there are laws against that kind of thing.

oh yes and no problem though am not trying to blackmail my mortgage firm, the fact is they charge £25.00 per letter and if i send back the letters that were ment for other people without having my issue resolved, what proof would i have in court if it goes to court that i had been wrongly charged?

You seem to know what you are talking about, can you advise on a letter, or could anyone else?

Hi

 

I would keep the two things seperate. Write an LBA (you will find it in the templates library) re the charges. You can claim the unpaid dd charges but I think that is all, well that is all I claimed.

 

As to the documents belonging to other people I would make copies and then contact each person and return the origionals to them with a letter of explanation as to how they came to be in your possession and then send the copies with a letter of complaint to the Information Commisioner.
