    • Have we seen your court bundle?   If we haven't then it's probably an idea to post it up here especially the index page and the witness statement so we can see if there is anything which might need adding or changing 
    • "Care to briefly tell someone who isn't tech savvy - i.e. me! - how you did this?" Its pretty simple although not obvious. You open the google maps app > click your profile picture > Click Timeline from the list > click today > choose the date you want to see the timeline from. Then you'll see your timeline for that day. Often, places you have visited will have a question mark beside them where google wants you confirm you have actually visited. You either click 'yes' if you have, or you click 'edit' to enter the actual place you visited. Sometimes, you'll see 'Missing visit' This probably happens if your internet connection has dropped out at that time. You simply click 'Add visit' and enter the place. The internet on my crappy phone often loses connection so I have to do that alot.   OK dx, understood mate. 
    • I have now been given a court date vs Evri, 4th Sept 2024. I have completed my court bundle, when am I expected to send copies to the court and Evri and should it be in hard copy or electronic? The Notice of Allocation states that no later than 7 days before the directions hearing both parties must send to the other party their final offers to settle. Does this mean I will have to tell Evri what I'm willing to settle? Rgds, J
    • Ok how about this to the CEO? I know it sounds super desperate but lets call a spade a spade here, I am super desperate: Dear Sir, On 29th November 2023 I took out a loan of £5000 with you. Unfortunately very early into 2024 I found myself in financial difficulty (unexpected bills and two episodes of sickness and the tax office getting my tax code wrong resulting in less pay for two months) and I contacted you (MCB) on 13th February 2024 asking if there was any way I could extend the length of my loan to 36 months. I fully explained why I was requesting this and asked for your help. I did not receive a reply to that email so I again contacted you on 7th March 2024 to advise you of a change in my circumstances which resulted in me having to take out a DMP and asking you to confirm that the direct debit had been cancelled. You would have also received confirmation of this DMP from StepChange but you did not acknowledge receipt of my email. I have only managed to make one payment from my loan but did try and contact MCB to discuss extending my loan, help etc.  I have now therefore fallen behind on several of my debts, yours included, and as a result you have lodged a Cifas marker against my name for "evasion of payment", which has resulted in me having to change banks, which has been an extremely difficult process because of the Cifas marker. I do not feel you have been fair or given me the opportunity to fully explain my situation to you before you lodged the marker against my name. I appreciate it is a business and you have acted accordingly, but I did try to make contact to arrange alternative arrangements and at no point, not even to this day, did I ever intend to not repay my loan. I cannot stress to you enough how much this has affected my mental health. I am having trouble sleeping and my existing health condition has been exacerbated by all of this. What I would like you to do is to please, please remove the Cifas marker and let me make arrangements to pay the loan back through a DMP.  Please sir, I am begging for your help here. I am not a dishonest person and I have never been in a situation like this before. I am desperately trying to make things right but this marker is killing me. Please can you help me? I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully,

    • 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.

Getting home and finding a reply from Robinson Way

 

Please note we have not yet received a response from the original seller. This note is to let you know that we are continuing to seek an update, we will let you know the responses as soon as we hear, your account remains on a temporary delay.

 

Thank you for your patience

 

He he, they won't get a reply from the original seller (I assume Capital One - coz they didn't have documents when it went to court before!)

 

This is also going to Anne Widdicombe who is bringing up my case with the CSA on her return.

Peter Andre has set a date to start having s*x again, Thursday 22nd October. It's a lovely reason for me to pop corks, have champers and celebrate for him. We could have a national 'make love not war' fest in recognition!

Being told by my Doctor this morning that a lump I've got (where I shouldn't have a lump) has been confirmed not to be the 'C' I've been dreading, and is entirely harmless.

 

Excellent news Beachy soooo pleased for you.. ;):D

Remembering the look of astonishment on an opposing solicitors face recently, when the DJ only awarded him fixed costs of approx £200-ish for an 'undefendable' Fast Track claim that his clients brought, which has taken several years and numerous court hearings to reach a conclusion and thus bought valuable time for someone to get back on their financial feet again.

Don't ya just lurrrve the summarising speeches bit of it all eh? ;)

:D:D:D Tra-la-la

Nice one MTM. the sooner these DCAs realise they can no longer automatically gert 'judgement by default' and people not standing up to them the more they will have to come up with new tactics.

 

I love it when the 'other side's legal bod' is made to feel small... had that done twice in person, once in the court reception area and six times when I have helped people prepare defences.

 

The news about 1st Credits losses made me smile yesterday and today... how many more are now 'withdrawing from chasing front line debts' or whatever phrase they are using - shows what challenging them does.

 

Well done to all CAGGERS who succeed in court agains the opposition.

What made me smile? Well, I was just coming to add on "my new i-touch" which is fantastic, does everything but cook (and I am planning to teach it how to), but now I have to add Clemma's weight loss (although it is a bit of a jealous smile, I confess :razz:) and Beachy's lump :razz:

I'm so pleased you are okay, Beachy. :)

 

Driving home from the school run I saw a man just opening the back of his estate car and one of his two dogs leapt in before it was even properly opened. He was a spaniel with big floppy ears and he obviously just couldn't wait to get going. He was just soooo excited about the trip. :)
