    • 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

 

I have received a reply from Fredricksons that includes a copy of my Egg agreement!

 

This was an online agreement apparently applied for in July 2007.

 

What happens now?

 

They terminated whilst the account was in dispute but now they have sent me the agreement!

 

HELP!

Thanks SS!

 

I'll have a look at it tomorrow when I have time (and quiet!!) to digest it.

 

Was thinking, surely they were very wrong to DN me when they hadn't complied so maybe my first move should be to complain to FOS and get a reference number from them. I've read on another thread they back off once they know FOS are involved and might buy me a bit more time.

 

Is this worth a go?

Hi

 

I have not had the chance to sit (in peace!!) and take in all the information in the very long thread of PT's but I am getting there!!!

 

I am going to post up the agreement Fredricksons sent me here Looking at it, it looks as if they just printed it off themselves (as possibly I might have been able to!) from my online account. I'm guessing this because of the print notes ate the top and bottom of the pages.

 

Is this correct and if so does that mean they didn't have to reply to my request for CCA?

 

I will be looking at PT's thread tonight once the kids are in bed!! to try and find some fault with it.

 

Thanks for any advice.

Just starting to read PT's thread............

 

Being that my agreement appears to be printed off on 16/12/2009 would that not probably be my current agreement?

 

Surely they have changed a few bits since 2007?

Ok!

 

I cannot see any mention of charges on my agreement (ie default charges etc)

 

Also found thid on PT's thread

 

As to enforceability? an agreement cannot be enforced unless there is a term stating the credit limit, the term must be easily recognisable to the layperson as being a term setting out the credit limit (s9 makes it very clear the distinction between credit and all other charges)

I also don't see any mention of my credit limit......!

Only on p9 of 75 so will no doubt find out more..........

Hi Sarnie

 

I'm a little bemused by this account!!

 

I expected Egg to return my CCA request immediately. This was a card taken out quite recently and was applied for online, so I assumed they would produce an enforceable agreement.

 

They didn't reply and then they sent a DN (didn't appear dodgy - although I'm not sure about the numbers they were quoting!) and terminated without replying to my CCA request.

 

So I don't really know where I stand!!

 

I assume if they terminated without supplying the requested paperwork they were at fault but... having now sent me this latest copy of my agreement are they still wrong?!!

 

I owe Egg £15k so I am keen to find out where I stand!

Hi Guys!

 

I sent this letter to BC last week....http://www.consumerforums.com/resources/templates-library/86-debt-collectors/575-letter-to-solicitors-threatening-legal-action-in-default-of-agreement-request-

 

but crossed in the post, I received a letter from BC on Saturday saying if I do not pay up "COURT PROCEEDINGS WILL BE ISSUED ON 23 FEBRUARY 2010 IF PAYMENT IS NOT RECEIVED AT THIS OFFICE BY THAT DATE"

 

Should I be concerned?

 

Thanks Cupcake

I could do that but will I not be contradicting myself if I do that? On one hand I am saying I will not pay while the account is in dispute and it shouldn't have even been passed to you and on the other I am offering to pay.

 

Would I just phone up and make a payment? Otherwise I couldn't get it there by 23rd!

 

Thanks cupcake

You could ring and offer a debit card payment by phone - but only on basis that they suspend things and don't proceed with action on 23rd.

 

Otherwise there is always the chance they are bluffing and won't do anything anyway on 23rd.

I've been thinking about you all night.;)

 

I think the fact that the letters crossed in the post gives you a chance to get things put on hold without losing face or paying out.

 

Why not e-mail [email protected] or info@bryancartersoliciors,co,uk and send a soft copy of your letter telling them the 2 letters crossed in the post and you assume they will now wait on Egg getting their act together as required by law?

 

I e-mailed our nice Uncle Bryan and funnily enough got a reply from [email protected] :confused:

Thank you so much AC!!

 

I will get onto it now.

 

I will also email BC (now I have an email address - thanks to BD!!) to let him know I have complained.

 

Thank you again. I was really starting to worry about this one!!
