    • wont go near it with a barge pole as its ex gov't debt.  
    • Thanks, I've had my fill of this lot. What makes me so mad is that I had to take out student loan to get any DHSS help. And then when I tried to help myself and family they presented obstacles. Might be worth passing story to RIP off Britain?
    • there is NO exposure if you simple remove your name address/ref numbers etc from docs, over 10'000 pdf uploads are here. which then harvests IP addresses off of the people that then do so..which is why we do not allow hosting sites. read our rules and upload carefully thats exactly why we say capture as JPG, redact, then convert/merge to one mass PDF. then online sites to achieve that we list do not leave watermarks.  every once in a while we have a user like you that thinks they know better...we've been doing it since 2006 with not one security issue. thank you.
    • was at the time you ticked it  but now they've still not complied . if you read up, here , you'll see thats what everyone does,  
    • no they never allow the age related get out, erudio are masters at faking supposed 'arrears' fees which were levied before said date and thus null its write off. 1000's of threads here on them!! scammers untied that lot. i can almost guarantee they'll state it's not SB'd too re above, but just ignore them once sent. dx

    • 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

 

i need a little help here, i have always had cable broadband and the top one ie xl i first got this around 2002 and keeped on the fastest one all the time. when it became 20 meg i was paying £50 pounds just for the broadband, this was a few years ago but i dont no when is was (i need to find this out) over the last few days my service as been going on and off . so today i rang them up todayand was told by the tech man it was probly because i had a old moden and it only surpoted up to 10 meg .!!!!

 

so i have been paying for a 20 meg survice £37 permonth (todays prices) for years when at the best times of the day and under the perfect conditions i can only get 10 meg £ 25 per month ..

 

i rang cable custermer care and they said i could not back date anything but they will send me a new moden and reduce my bill by £7 .

 

they said i could write to head office as this was the best they could do.

 

so does any one no when it went to 20 meg or how i can find this out

and do i have a good case here and any help on how i should go about this.

 

thx

Right, to start with it has to be Virgin Media!

 

I can't help as I have no idea to what you signed up for! The problem is, neither DO YOU!

 

Also, its impossible to say you signed up for 8MB and only recieved 4MB!

 

You really have no come back here at all, which is a shame as I hate VM!

thx for the info, i still think i have a case here and will write to head office.

Hello Kevin,

We’re always looking for ways to improve your service where we can. So we’d like to replace your old modem with a shiny new one – absolutely free.

 

Right now, your old modem is doing its job. But there is a more up-to-date model out there

and of course, we want you to have the very best. And with technology moving so fast,

it makes sense to have a modem that’s geared up to handle whatever the future throws at it.

 

Head to www.virginmedia.com/swapmodem to get yours. We hope you enjoy it.

 

All the best,

 

is this a way of gettin all the old models like mine swoped out and then the custermer would not no he had never been able to recive the full 20 meg?

That certainly is an old model, it came out in the days when BB was still in Kilobits and not megabitss.

 

Go to the Scientific Atlanta site and look for your model and check on the speed of operation, if it is only 10mbs then print that page and make a claim on Virgin for the difference between the 10 and 20mbs service.
