    • Yep let us have a good laugh eh from today’s Telegraph 🤣😂🤣 the rest must try harder    Farage won Friday’s election debate, a poll finds Nigel Farage won Friday night’s seven-way BBC election debate, according to a poll.  A snap poll of 1,031 voters by More in Common found most thought Mr Farage won the debate, followed by Angela Rayner. Mr Farage received 25 per cent of the vote while Ms Rayner received 19 per cent. The Green Party’s Carla Denyer was the third most popular with 11 per cent, Stephen Flynn for SNP received 10 per cent and Penny Mordaunt, the leader of the House of Commons, took 7 per cent of the vote. Daisy Cooper, the deputy leader of the Liberal Democrats and Plaid Cymru’s Rhun ap Iorwerth took 5 per cent and 2  per cent respectively. The debate saw Britain’s main seven political parties clash ahead of the general election on July 4.  Mr Farage, who returned to frontline politics for Reform this week and is standing as an MP in Clacton, challenged his political rivals on immigration and net zero policies.
    • Hi CAG Team, I'm seeking your skills and help for a NtK my partner received through the post earlier this week. To give a little backstory, my partner and I, along with our young children (4 and 7), decided to go on a camping holiday about 3 hours away from us. We took a car each because we didn't have enough room in one car. We arrived at the services at very similar times as we followed each other the whole way. So, two cars. My partner has received this NtK, but I haven't. This NtK dropped through the front door on Wednesday, June 5, 2024.  We both parked in the Burger King car park, not in BP; we got out, all went for a toilet break, got some food from the BP garage and returned to our cars to eat.  After eating, we took the kids to the toilet again before leaving to complete our journey. I didn't notice any parking restriction signs and can't get back to the location due to how far away it is. I noticed another person had an issue here and reported it to you, and they managed to get the fine dropped. See below. To me, it looks like they have cameras at the complex's entrance and exit. I'm not sure if they own the land/car park by Burger King, so I'm not sure if this is a legal contract or not.  I find that 30 mins limit at a Services that serves hot food to be ridiculous and unfair, especially as we had kids to feed and water.  And the fact that I didn't receive the same NtK despite us driving in and out together is just crazy. This is the location - I also uploaded a map image. Google Maps MAPS.APP.GOO.GL ★★★☆☆ · Restaurant   1 Date of the infringement 24th May 2024   2 Date on the NTK [this must have been received within 14 days from the 'offence' date] 29th May 2024   3 Date received 5th June 2024   4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? [Y/N?] N   5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Y - Only entering and exiting the complex/land.   6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] N   7 Who is the parking company? MET   8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] BP Blue Boys, Tonbridge TN12 7HE   For either option, does it say which appeals body they operate under. POPLA Anyway, I hope you can help me out with some guidance on how to proceed with this. Let me know if you need anything else. Thank you, Passerby0233 2024-06-08 13_17_52-Burger King - Google Maps — Mozilla Firefox.pdf NtK_29-05-2024.compressed.pdf
    • Which Court have you received the claim from ? Civil National Business Centre (Northampton) Name of the Claimant ? PRA Group (UK) Limited How many defendant's  joint or self ? Self Date of issue – 23/5/24 AOS - Tues, 11/6/24 (19 days)  Defence - Thurs, 25/6/24 (33 days) Particulars of Claim 1. The Claimant claims the sum of £7926 for an outstanding debt owed. 2. On 20/4/18 the Defendant entered into an agreement with Lloyds Bank for a Credit Card under reference [16 numbers]. 3. On 10/5/22 the Defendant defaulted on the agreement with an outstanding balance of £7296. 4. On 28/11/23 the debt of £7296 was assigned to PRA Group (UK) Limited, who itself assigned the debt to PRA Group UK Portfolios Ltd on 30/12/23. Notices of assignment were sent to the Defendant in accordance with S136 Law of Property Act 1925. The Claimant has instructed PRA Group (UK) to act on its behalf and the CLAIMANT CLAIMS 1. The sum of £7925 What is the total value of the claim? £8481 Have you received prior notice of a claim being issued pursuant to paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre Action Protocol) ? No Have you changed your address since the time at which the debt referred to in the claim was allegedly incurred? Yes Did you inform the claimant of your change of address? I believe I sent a letter by registered mail of a change in address to abroad in 2021. Is the claim for - a Bank Account (Overdraft) or credit card or loan or catalogue or mobile phone account? Credit card When did you enter into the original agreement before or after April 2007 ? After Do you recall how you entered into the agreement...On line /In branch/By post ? Online Is the debt showing on your credit reference files (Experian/Equifax /Etc...) ? Yes Has the claim been issued by the original creditor or was the account assigned and it is the Debt purchaser who has issued the claim. Debt purchaser Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment? Not personally - probably sent to my parents Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor? Not personally - probably sent to my parents Have you been receiving statutory notices headed “Notice of Sums in Arrears”  or " Notice of Arrears "– at least once a year ? Not personally - probably sent to my parents Why did you cease payments? Unable to afford, living abroad What was the date of your last payment? Unsure (probably 2021) Was there a dispute with the original creditor that remains unresolved? No Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor and make any attempt to enter into a debt management plan? No ................... I have read through a number of similar threads, one thing i'm not sure how to proceed about is that I live abroad in the middle east and have done for several years. The claim letter was sent to my parents address and I really don't want them to be harassed about this. I am sure I sent the original creditor a registered letter with my change of address but can't find this currently. I am not in a position to pay this, and tend to come back to the UK to see family at most once a year (less since Covid),  not particular bothered about my financial score...more concerned about harassment of my parents. I have not registered on the gov gateway or anything like that.  Details below (as best as i can), and thank you for taking the time to look into it. Also redacted claim form attached: Claim form 23-5-24.pdf

    • 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.

My son was given a sample of personal lubricant at sex ed recently.

 

I felt a hot flush come on when he plopped the sachet in my lap, aaarrgghhhhh :!:

 

Ive dealt with the subject of condoms but lubricant, eeeewwwwww.

 

They should call these samples mother torturing devices and time how long a hot flush takes to appear, my son does:lol::lol:

 

In all seriousness good they cover the bases with the kids, but I expected him to appear with a few condoms but that shocked me.

 

I can imagine a few funny shaped balloons about.

OK, no gory details, but I'm allergic to many of these.... don't even ask how I found that out....

That's the surest indication that it is not genuine. Not genuine means that he will have had one disc and used the same key on all the installs he has done.

 

PKF are the Administrators and have a dedicated phone for Bennetts - 0845 458 2000. Give them a ring and ask how you put your claim in. You are only after the cost of the Windows 7 which in PC World is £139.95. http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/microsoft-windows-7-home-premium-03351305-pdt.html

You won't need Professional or Ultimate for home use.

GRR i hate it when people give u attitude and say basically its ur own fault.

 

Ok so tried conniffs idea of speaking to the admistrators and got the engaged tone all afternoon. Must have a few annoyed customers. Anyway l decided to ring round and see how much people would charge me for a copy of win 7 spoke to a few nice people who basically were very symaphetic and said theyy would speak to managers and see what they would be able to do. Well l spoke to some guy in PC world utter prat, please note this is the kind name for him.

If awards were given out for being a complete and utter ninkin poop unsymaphetic and very much having a major attitude problem and telling customers its there own fault l am making him the winner.

 

he turn round and said to me we dont do price matching we dont do discount and i don not symaphise with you. U should have brought it from a decent retailor like us in the first place. and hung up on me.

 

Well Mr attitude l have complained to your company head office and told them the reason l did not buy from you in the first place. U spend 5 minutes discussing a decent price then 3 hours arguing over having insurance. Anyways l went else were as they were not forcing the extended warrenty on me and there price was about £75 cheaper. Som there suck on those Apples

 

Yes l know l am partly resonsible for my own problem l went for a product l thought was real and had no reason not to believe its real and went for a cheaper price but l did not know the company was going bust.

GM. A friend of mine bought 2 laptops from a car boot sale. Both had Windows installed. I had to update them for him (put the right security and stuff on them). Neither had a genuine copy of Windows. I called the automated phone line and they give you a proper license number (25 digits long I think). You would be best writing the number down as the machine gives it to you rather than try to put the number in as you go along. If I remember correctly, it asked where I got the laptop from. You get a multiple choice and I just pressed the number for 'got it from a shop'. There was no real person involved, so no awkward questions. I would just give it a try, you have nothing to lose.

That made me "smile today".

 

There was a Rowan Atkinson (I think) sketch on this very thing. People filled up with petrol to the exact pound, and RA, in the shop, clicked it over to the odd penny over the top. Are you sure the guys at the petrol station weren't doing the same thing?!!! Maybe it wasn't you after all.:-)

My dad is having heart bypass surgery tomorrow :sad:. Came as a bit of a shock. They only found out last monday that there was a problem. i'm glad in some ways that they are where they are (the states) as I know he will get better care than he would here, but it's bloody hard to not be able to be there for him and my mum at times like this. It would be nice to give them a big pup hug. It doesn't help that I know a bit too much about this sort of thing, with what my '2nd family' have been through with their hearts over the years. I keep scaring myself. I know these things are done all the time, but knowing that if something were to go wrong, there's no way I could get there in time, does add a bit of weight to the shoulders.

The uncanny ability of lawn weeds to duck in avoidance of oncoming steel blades spinning at 3,500 times a minute, despite every effort.

Particularly annoying is how they pop up unscathed and wave in a 'Ha, you missed' fashion after every repeated pass.
