    • I don't think I've ever seen someone appeal a mags court decision on fare evasion, JK, but as you say in this case TiredDodo has pleaded guilty. It is possible to challenge, as below.

    • Update! I have now opened the mail from Barclaycard. I am assuming that their letters were prompted by my confirmation to them of my change of address, which I had advised them of twice. They are treating my change of address notification as a "General Data Protection Regulation Right of Access Request"  and state that I have made a "Right of Access Request. They are asking me to provide valid indentity documents! I have made no such request and am minded to ignore their request for extra information? I should add that their letters were sent to my correct current address!
    • Are you allowed to appeal if you plead guilty?   I know you appeal the sentence, but the criminal record formed from your guilt would surely remain?   I'm not sure if your able to appeal a crimianl record if you plead guilty are you?
    • DX: I did not pursue Link after I got the CCJ amended to monthly payments. Pretty sure the CCJ does not mention reviews, I do have the CCJ somewhere, I will have to look it up in storage. It is as mentioned on the thread you referenced  in your post #28. The Barclays loan was taken out in September 2004 for 60 months! Current Balance remaining approx £2K. On checking back my past correspondence with Barclaycard about this loan, there was a history of them ignoring my letters and offers to pay, and I even had problems in obtaining their bank account details for them to accept my payments! I have received strange correspondence from them too, one referring to insurance which I did not have. They seem very disorganised! Barclaycard told me to pay "Masterloan" a while back and I now receive regular statements and arrears notices from "Personal Loans from Barclaycard" clearly marked Masterloan, they changed the account reference number! I have never requested a CCA on this account. I advised them of my change of address last September, but they are still sending, until today, statements etc. to my old address! I have received 2 letters from Barclaycard Loan today though, not opened them yet!!
    • Yes, a few months ago. They wrote back saying there was no CCA and the debt was unenforcable. I then started gtting bombarded with threatening emails from their 'litigations team' which have been sent to spam. I've now recieved the letter before claim with the PAP form enclosed, but still no CCA or even a letter from them to say the debt is deemed enforcable. Thank you.

    • 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.

Its amazing that my MP's food bill is £400 each month.

 

I wonder if she has the same meal each day each week.

 

I think I'll write and ask!

 

Also write to the place they do all there food shopping and ask them how they managed to keep all the prices the same for so long, and can we shop there too:D.

 

 

If all else fails, kick them where it hurts and SOD'EM;)

Mine only quaffs £300, yours must shop at M&S! although maybe North/South devide. Why oh why has mine got (And on a very quick glimpse) £55 for a mini grill under repairs and insurance?

 

I am soo looking forward to analysing this, maybe I'll get the full version of my Telegraph contact, lmao.

 

I have the email already sat in my inbox to reply to, the morra is devoted to it.

Mine seems more reasonable with food averaging around the £180 mark. However she pays £45 per month for a mobile phone tariff which includes 400 minutes and 50 texts... they must have seen her coming!

Mine has stopped claiming £300 food the minute Council tax entered the equasion? only ever claimed £200 since then? Why are the figures so bang on the penny...petty maybe.

 

I think mine has been relatively well behaved, aside from the obvious 'rounding up' and I'm not gonna chuck my toys out over that.

 

I am still gonna get everything available digested the 'morra.

 

Baz, get her on 3 lmao

Richard Ottoway, Croydon Sth, has steadfastly refused to tell us what he was spending our money on. No wonder, I'd be embarrassed too to be seen as such a terrible moneysaver!!!

 

Handsfree kit for car: £250! :shock:

Newspaper delivery: £50 Why am I paying for this exactly?

£240 on food, and yes, £40 on light bulbs. £50 on a toaster, and there is maintenance on something mysterious which contains belts and filters and is bloody expensive. Mortgage payment: £430. Repairs to roof, boiler, shower (every month or so, it would seem), and the list goes on and on...

 

Want to know the funny thing? Mr Ottoway's home from home is further away from Westminster than his constituency one, but then Bletchingey is a lot more attractive than Croydon... :rolleyes:

I was wrong about the mini grill, it was actually under 'other' but the initial claim was scribbled out, and went into another section....it was then scribbled out again with blacked-out bits because of an issue worth £5, she then altered the totals at the bottom pratically begging them not to forget the extra fiver.... hard times!

 

Still, so far in my MP may be an angel....I haven't clicked on the other 5 or 6 links yet.

 

As a complete aside, I find it interesting that I now know each 'high gloss' leaflet costs 5.6p lol (maybe the gloss finish makes the crap easier on the eye.....and helps it get into landfil quicker?) 44,000 is also too low for her constituency. 30,859 were delivered by RM at the chep rate of 4.8p making those leaflets cost 10.4p each which 90% of which (guess, and you should see the communal area here) goes unread. Plus you can't wipe your crease on the glossy stuff. :p

 

I guess the other 13,000 or so are hand dropped by my MP and workforce in the more affluent areas? Not having a go here, I'm just a trainspotter when it comes to this stuff! Still, it grates a bit even then...£4K to promote her still sucks.... and that is only one campaign.... I honestly thought that kind of stuff wasn't paid for by the taxpayer.

About Bl**&y time!!!

 

They keep saying its within the rules but they made the rules!!! I wonder how long the fraud squad and Inland Revenue would hold back if The General Medical Council or the Legal Bar wrote its own rules for whats allowable in an expense claim?

 

Its the house of commons... the house of common people... they are NOT above the law which includes the Inland Revenue!!!

 

(makes a mental note to write to the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors..... :rolleyes::D)

£400 is the limit for monthly food allowances of what they're allowed to claim with no receipts:mad::eek:..........for all of those who've had to put in ex's claims for work, mucking around with recepits for pence, making sure everything is accurate to the last penny................they didn't need to produce recepits for anything less than £250!!!

All advice offered here is my opinion only based on what I would do in a given situation. If you wish to act on it you do so at your own discretion

I have no legal expertise or qualification, and give advice on the basis of my own experience and nothing else.
