    • Whatever the nuances of the law, they will be lost on OPS, who like the rest of the PPcs never bother to get planning permission, ever. When they get a new contract they don't want to delay issuing PCNs by deigning to follow the law, especially as the period when they take over and the parking restrictions are new is the time when they can catch most drivers out.
    • I had some contact with this company earlier in my working life but I'm afraid there's not a lot I can suggest that you haven't already done. During your grandfather's time  British Celanese was a subsidiary of Courtaulds. Courtaulds was subsequently (after your grandfather had stopped working there) acquired by Alzo Nobel. They in turn closed down the Spondon site and sold it. I have no idea what the number is that you are trying to call. It's a Derby (Spondon) area code but the number appears not to be allocated. From my slim knowledge of the history of the company I would have expected your grandfather's pension to be in the Alzo Nobel (CPS) Pension Scheme.  But Willis Tower Watson are the Pension Scheme Administrator of that scheme and would be the people who should know if your grandfather had contributed. Is your grandfather certain he contributed? Joining pension schemes wasn't compulsory in those days. Or might he have got his contributions returned when he left them? That happened sometimes back then. Sorry not to be of more help.      
    • I am sorry I am not aware of this report from IAS assessors? The Court will consider my application at a online hearing in June. The Court instructed me to send Bank copies of my sons condition proving he could not have been the driver I have heard nothing further. My son is not aware of any proceedings I have not involved him to avoid causing him distress, he has been sectioned a fair few times and I need to avoid this happening.
    • I am very pleased that the Court has taken the decision to allow you to  represent your son and hope that he is happy enough with that to relieve the stress he will also be feeling. I do agree that Bank parking are so insensitive, greedy, horrible etc etc to continue proceedings considering  in what it is a very minor case of a wrong number plate . Even their  own  IAS Assessors, who are normally hopelessly biased in favour of their members, went out on a limb and said  " The Operator's evidence shows no payment for the Appellant's vehicle, or anything similar. It does show two payments for the same registration in quick succession. I would take a reasonable guess, based on the circumstances described, that the person paying has paid for the registration of the person they assisted again." That is damning evidence and you must take that report with you as well as including that in your Witness Statement which we will help you with. I would expect that Bank would discontinue the case at that point.  But I am sorry to say  that you should not count on it.  
    • Evening all,   I have deliberated over this offer for two weeks and I have decided to take their offer. I do understand that some may prefer us to go to court and receive a judgement but with our personal circumstances and my current military commitment that could become an issue. I am so grateful for all the help and support you have all offered me over the last few months. I will continue to monitor this site and push all those that are being wrong to get in touch.   Thank you! what you all do is truly amazing!

    • 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.

Nothing to swear about yet (well there is but it may clear itself up next week so I'm reserving ranting till them), but could anyone pop in and just give this member a bit of moral support/advice. She's new, got a few replies to her thread straight away but has since had an offer from a DCA that she's concerned about and no-one has been back on since.

 

Well actually I have but I have no idea re; legal issues so I couldn't do much other than offer an opinion. I'm sure she'd appreciate more thoughts though:)

Mrs SOD'EM booking a holiday for herself and the little angels to go to Pontins for 4 days next month has really p****d me off:mad:. That leaves little old me alone in the house.

 

If she would have only consulted me, I would have gladly given her the extra money to make it a month or two.:D

 

 

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

Non-bl**dy-paying ebayers, who you can't even so much as complain about or they neg you because they know you can only leave positive feedback for them:mad: Bl**dy time-wasters and bl**dy bl**dy ebay for making it that way!

 

Why on earth can't you tell other members if a buyer doesn't pay and doesn't respond to messages and requests for payment? 11 days and they've not paid or contacted me:mad:

 

Seeing as after ebay and paypal take their fees I'm left practically owing them, I don't know why I bother:(

Agree, personally I think E-Bay has had its day!

 

By the time you've paid all manner of costs theres bugger all left, when you factor in your time and the hassle of packing it all up and standing in a post office queue I reckon its probably easier and more rewarding to just give it away to someone or somewhere that will appreciate it!

Had the fright of my life. Being a nosey mum a large parcel arrived for my son and I decided to take a peak. It was from a gay charity called stonewall and contained loads and loads of postcards and stickers saying its alright to be gay. Now I sat for hours thinking, well if he is of course I will support and still love him etc....whilst pondering how I hadnt noticed. hhhHHHmmm he arrived home and knew what the parcel was straight away and asked where his stickers were. I asked if he was wanting to tell me something and him and his friend burst out laughing it was a prank and apparantly everyone at school is sending for the stickers.

 

I could have screamed as I dont find this funny. The parcel cost this charity 85p to send a long with costs of contents adn I am wondering what is wrong with kiddies today. Dont they realise if loads of kids are doing it the charity will be wasting so much money.

Genetic blood test on my son confirming Marfan Syndrome. I have to get the tests done too. :-(

 

Strange, my best friend of 25 years, her brother and daughter all have Marphan syndrome. I didn't think that they had properly identified it geneticly yet. They know which genes it is, but the variations of the genes and the markers aren't allways the same, making genetic testing not fully possible yet or at least not for all cases. I thought they still went off the usual diagnosis, height, limb to body ratio, flat footedness, rib cage deformaties, cardio problems the list goes on. I know they (my friend and her brother) both inherited it from their father, but for some reason their genetic markers were still different. Hope you get the support you need. Have they mentioned having cardio checks? This is usually the most dangerous affects of Marphans but is usually ok when monitored.

 

*hugs*

In short, they have as you say got the markers, but the tests are unreliable in that you could show negative and still have it. But if the test comes back positive, then yes, there it, is. However, in my son's case, and I quote, "there is an alteration in the gene febrillin 1 which is consistent with the Marfan diagnosis. This particular alteration has not been seen before in other families but is predicted to cause Marfan's."

 

The genetic test was the last of a long series of tests over the last few months, it was pretty much a forgone conclusion that he had it, because of the usual suspects (pectus carinatum, hyper/hypo flexibility, positive finger tests, height/span etc...) but I was really hoping he'd turned out to be habitus (has the physical characteristics, but not the defective genes), alas, the blood test confirms that he has the real MCCoy.

 

So far, ECG and heart scan have come AOK, he stil lneeds to have a body scan to see if his pectus is pressing down on his lungs otherwise if it's only cosmetic, it will be up to him if he wants to have the op (my DD had nearly 5 ribs taken out last year to rectify hers). The "good" thing is as he's the one with autism, he's not self-conscious at ALL unlike most 13 years old you could think of. :razz:

 

So yes, a lifetime of monitoring, scans, etc... Whoopee!

 

I was just astonished that we both posted at the same time on mirror threads about Marfan's , which is such a rare condition in the first place!!! :shock: (MarFan with an "F", btw, yet another bloody Frenchman! :razz:)

We're both going to be put under the care of the Marfan Clinic at St George's Hospital in Tooting, which is apparently one of the best ones, so here goes again.

Very strange indeed! You're lucky he's not self concious, my friend had a really hard time as a teenager. I remember her best line ever (IMO, and she's had quite a few over the years) to one lad in school who was taking the micky out of the way she looked was "Yes, I may look strange, but at least there's a medical reason for looking the way I do, you're just f*****g ugly!!" He was being very cruel as kids are, and upsetting her. He's lucky I didn;'t slap him really. He apoligsed after as he didn't know anything was wrong with her and he kind of looked after her after that.

 

spelling isn't my best attribute lol
