    • So, Sunak has managed to get someone to 'volunteer to go to Rwanda hasn't he? .. for just £3000 payment to the person plus 5 years free board and lodging isnt it? - cost to UK taxpayer over £300M+ (300 million quid+) isnt it? - Bargain says Rwanda, especially with all the profit we made privately selling those luxury chalets Bravermann advertised for us   I wonder how many brits would jump at that offer? Thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Lets see, up to 5 years free board and lodging and £3k in my pocket .. I'd go - and like that person - just come back if/when I get bored. First job - off to Botswana for a week to see the elephants.   Of course the paid volunteers going to Botswana are meaningless - Rwanda have REPEATEDLY said they wont take any forcibly trafficked people in breach of international law eh? Have they actually got any civil servants to agree to go yet - probably end up as more massive payments to VIPal contractors to go and sit there doing nowt shortly eh?    
    • Hi Wondered if I could get a little advise please. I entered into a commercial lease (3 years) and within a few months I had to leave as the business I was trading with collapsed. I returned the keys to the landlord and explained the situation and no money, also likely to go on benefits but the landlord stuck to their guns. They have now instructed solicitors to send letter before action claiming just over £4000. The lease was mine and so the debt. I know this. I have emailed the solicitors twice to explain I am out of work and that with help from family I could offer a full and final settlement figure of £1500 or £10pw. This was countered by them with an offer to reduce the debt by £400, or pay off the amount over 12 months. I went back with an improved full and final offer of £2500 or £20pw. This has been rejected with the comment 'papers ready to go to court'. I have no hope of paying the £4000 and so it will have to go to court. Pity as I have no debts otherwise but not working is a killer. I wondered if they take me to court, could I ask for mediation? I also think that taking me to court will result in a pretty much nothing per week payment from my benefits. Are companies just pushing ahead with action even if a better offer is on the table? Thanks for your help.
    • Hi all, Many thanks for the advice! Unfortunately, the reply to the email was as expected…   Starbucks UK Customer Care <[email protected]> Hi xxxxxx, We are sorry to read you received a parking charge after using our Stansted Airport - A120 DT store. Unfortunately, the car park here is managed by MET parking.

    • 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.

Likewise angry cat...........I didn't have a forwarding address for the letters from dcas BUT I did have a Letting Agent who knew the forwarding address so they got the lot!! The property was empty and in the process of being sold so any 'doorstep visits' went unanswered.

My MP is a total pratt..I've had business dealings with him and received an email back in which his PA mistakenly left his previous email to her at the bottom, asking her to deal with my request, and querying in a derogatory way whether I was ermm...not white. Although I am white I was outraged. I wouldn't fancy writing to him with any problems :(

For all the fact I have not always agreed with her politics it is good to see they have got themselves tied up with another formidable adversary!

 

I have emailed her to add my two pence worth - I have to say own MP bit of a non-starter (have been in touch about some local issues and pretty useless!). Might encourage her (retiring from parliement in the next year I believe) to seek a new career bashing DCAs and the like! ;)

I had a similar experience, won't bore you with all the details but suffice it to say I went to the website of the company concerned and emailed my distress to every email addy I found there.

 

I received a very polite email from a PA resolving the situation, and below that a message from her boss instructing her to deal with it before the *&(*^$$&* (*%£^^£" emails everyone in the company again.

 

I forwarded his abuse to everyone in the company for their 'advice and information.'

Just had an email advising my MPs inbox is full :( What's the point of sending a message if they can't empty their mail boxes???

 

They're all on their well deserved holidays counting their ill-gotten gains re expenses claims. It's ever so tiring burning the midnight oil to cook the books. :rolleyes:

I know they are on their hols, we don't get the PMs convoy coming past the office three or four times a day, we don't hear the guys on the motorbikes with whistles in front of his limo.

 

I haven;t had any replies as yet, don't know if I will get any over the weekend but I'm visiting the post office tomorrow and sending Robinson Way a SAR asking for every bit of info they have on me and a complete list of all telephone nos they have rung looking for me. Wonder what I will get back.

i saw the article and had to laugh -

anyone of us who have dealt with the hsbc thread could have given her the addy for metropolitan - plus phone numbers and probably a list of their staff.

 

i think she is a gutsy lady who speaks her mind - too bad more politicians aren't like her. you go, girl!

Oh this is the best story I've heard this year. She'll be like a dog with a bone. She's one of the very few independent-minded MPs we've got left and has a great deal of respect all over the House of Ill Repute. I'm looking forward to this.

 

Problem is whenever I hear or read about any politician promising to do something I find it very difficult to believe them :-|

 

I'd love to be proved wrong for once

Has anyone invited her to join CAG? I was too shy :|

 

I invited her to come and have a look around the forums and see for herself that she was far from alone.

 

I did refrain from asking her what type of knickers she was wearing though.

Before you criticise another man you should first walk a mile in his shoes. Then, when you criticise him, you'll be a mile away and he won't have any shoes on.

 

Don't get me confused with somebody knowledgeable by all those green blobs. I got most of them by making people laugh.

 

I am not European, I am English.
