    • Hi Dave. This morning I had another message from the owner, saying she's rung Booking.com again to ask them to sort the cancellation. And I just took a call from what looks like Booking.com's UK number. They offered us alternative accommodation but I had already found something on the Booking.com site two days ago. So we aren't homeless next weekend and Booking.com said we can invoice them after our stay finishes, so they can refund us the difference in cost between the original booking and the new one. Without your information on how property owners deal with Booking.com, I'm not sure the owner lady would have sorted this, so a big thank you from us. HB PS An email has just arrived from Booking.com. They confirm that the payment due won't be taken from my card - this was a concern obviously. I checked both my cards yesterday and I didn't make a payment from either of them when I booked. I couldn't remember when the problem happened because I made the booking a while back.
    • It's not for exactly £300 I just rounded the figure l. I don't know why I didn't respond to previous letter I suppose I thought If I ignored it it would go away.    I have uploaded all the docs I can find, I have defended the claim and will get a CPR sent to Morality Law today.    Claim Form.pdf
    • So as predicted relieved dq from Overdale.  Checked MCOL transaction history. Last entry is defence received.  Am I reading that correctly?   my understanding is I I ignore and wait for courts to send one they have also ticked mediation box. Not sure what can be mediated. He is unemployed

    • 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.

Well got 2 hours sleep before going to the doctors!

Not sure what bit my leg but it got worse over night at work. Some nasty little critter!

Saw GP and now on Antibiotics and Anti-histamins.

Frightened that when it all goes down that it will scar because I have a wedding to go to at the end of the month!

 

Hows your leg today Owly? Better I hope :-)

 

Oh you know that's the Tsunami watch thread, the end is nigh, I suggest attaching helium balloons to ourselves and rise above it:madgrin:

 

Or we could be like my friends Mum who lives in Gibralter, right on the coast - and say.........Ah **** it :lol: Besides, if helium balloons were involved - I'd deflate them all sucking the helium in and making funny talk :lol:

 

What made me swear today - was finding out that poor 93yr old dear who was beaten in her home has just died after 4wks in hospital :-( That and the fact that police have arrested her carer :-x

Life is like an echo, it all returns......The good, the bad, the false, the true......So if you give life the best you have, the best will come back to you.

Welcome back Sod'Em! I hope you had a good holiday?

 

What's made me swear today, is the fact of those two who've been arrested and charged for the deaths of their six children!

DW I could swear and Rant for hours over the Derby fire. If those who have been charged today are guilty then they can look forward to a very uncomfortable life in Prison, In which case I hope they live to 100.

If I have been of any help, please click on my star and let me know, thank you.

theres thoughts that this could have been their way of trying to force the council to give them a bigger property due to the amount of kids they have ............I wonder what his trade or work is..........and yes A/B if this all comes out as true he wont be fathering any more children and infact his nads will be forming his all new adams apple that is ofcourse as long as the judicial system does what we pay our taxes for and not give them any quarter

Feckin' woman who ran into me has refused to discontinue, is currently refusing 50/50 and is pushing for court. AAAHHHHHHHH.

 

Half of me wants to go as she'd have to explain her ridiculous statement and why she broke the law. The other part of me knows that I'm a bit sh*t in face to face discussions and for some reason end up getting very emotional regardless of the situation. I can be as self assured and literate as can be in a letter, but in a one on one argument, even with the knowledge that I am 100% in the right, I'm a gibbering teary lemon. It's a big pain in the bum when I need to come across as a grown up as I end up looking like an emotional idiot. I even have to preface any discussions with my OH with 'if I cry it's not because I'm upset!'

 

I'm even losing faith that if it went to court that I'd win. I mean, she hasn't even got the road I was on right, she broke the law twice and the damage caused is actually impossible if you go by her story, and yet she's still not been told by her sols to give up :(

Yup. No buses until 9.40am and they're every half hour.

 

On the subject of buses - they got diverted today. Someone got knocked over near where the traffic lights are. :( Bus driver had to ask everyone where they were getting off. (apart from me, oddily)

I'm getting a lot of spam too on an account I don't use for online stuff, fake watches, Canadian pharmacy and enlargement of already large body part (why don't they want them shrunk!). As for the dating stuff, not my scene and I also do not want the latest iPad or phone.
