    • Thanks for that. I will give them till Tuesday. Thanks for your help, very much appreciated. 
    • Ok thanks for that, well spotted and all duly noted. Yes they did eventually submit those docs to me after a second letter advising them I was contacting the ICO to make a formal complaint for failing to comply with an earlier SAR that they brushed off as an "administrative error" or something. When I sent the letter telling them I was in contact with the information commissioner to lodge the complaint, the original PCN etc quickly followed along with their excuse!
    • its not about the migrants .. Barrister Helena Kennedy warns that the Conservatives will use their victory over Rwanda to dismantle the law that protects our human rights here in the UK.   Angela Rayner made fun of Rishi Sunak’s height in a fiery exchange at Prime Minister’s Questions, which prompted Joe Murphy to ask: just how low will Labour go? .. well .. not as low as sunak 
    • From #38 where you wrote the following, all in the 3rd person so we don't know which party is you. When you sy it was your family home, was that before or after? " A FH split to create 2 Leasehold adjoining houses (terrace) FH remains under original ownership and 1 Leasehold house sold on 100y+ lease. . Freeholder resides in the other Leasehold house. The property was originally resided in as one house by Freeholder"
    • The property was our family home.  A fixed low rate btl/ development loan was given (last century!). It was derelict. Did it up/ was rented out for a while.  Then moved in/out over the years (mostly around school)  It was a mix of rental and family home. The ad-hoc rents covered the loan amply.  Nowadays  banks don't allow such a mix.  (I have written this before.) Problems started when the lease was extended and needed to re-mortgage to cover the expense.  Wanted another btl.  Got a tenant in situ. Was located elsewhere (work). A broker found a btl lender, they reneged.  Broker didn't find another btl loan.  The tenant was paying enough to cover the proposed annual btl mortgage in 4 months. The broker gave up trying to find another.  I ended up on a bridge and this disastrous path.  (I have raised previous issues about the broker) Not sure what you mean by 'split'.  The property was always leasehold with a separate freeholder  The freeholder eventually sold the fh to another entity by private agreement (the trust) but it's always been separate.  That's quite normal.  One can't merge titles - unless lease runs out/ is forfeited and new one is not created/ granted. The bridge lender had a special condition in loan offer - their own lawyer had to check title first.  Check that lease wasn't onerous and there was nothing that would affect good saleability.  The lawyer (that got sacked for dishonesty) signed off the loan on the basis the lease and title was good and clean.  The same law firm then tried to complain the lease clauses were onerous and the lease too short, even though the loan was to cover a 90y lease extension!!

    • 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 friend is devastated today as her cat was run over last night. She made it home and has had emergency surgery but it's touch and go.

Sorry to hear that woody. I know it must be scary but many forms of cancer are successfully treated these days. I hope yours is one of those. x

hi this Sandy ( BC'S o/h ) my ex has got me really upset and annoyed. Since our daughter had her baby he has taken over and keeps saying "my granddaughter" he seems to resent the fact I was with our daughter when she was in labour/giving birth as she asked me to be so due to me missing out on her sister's baby being born which the ex was at!

Daughter did not want her dad there and as it turned out when things went wrong the hospital said only 2 people allowed in the delivery room with her and as she had got hold of me tight I could not move anyway so was her partner and myself with her which did not please the ex so now he is doing all he can to keep me from seeing our granddaughter to the extent that as baby is small for her age and is to see a baby Doctor at the hospital he turned round and said to daughter why does your mother need to come?

This is my grandchild as well as his, he can see her her every day where I am not able to as I live 3 hours away and he uses that against me, been trying to get a mutual exchange near to our daughter but not had any joy

I am so :-x

Hi Sandy, hope you are feeling a bit less angry now as the morning moves on. I also hope it's not too long before you get that perfect move nearer to your daughter. You will be a big part in their lives sooner than you realise:-D

 

I'm sure there could be peeps helping on the site who may have ideas which could help you achieve your move. Please tell us if you or BC have started a thread in another forum regarding this, or if you start here with the hurdles you are experiencing with this move. I'm hoping it doesn't all rely on an exchange taking place.

Getting one of those fake HMRC tax reclaim emails, luckily I spotted it on my phone and deleted it immediately from there.

 

Good luck with your prospective house move BC, hope you get something nice. I'm going into a nice block which is for older people, has heating included in rent, is near my local station.

 

Can't afford to keep ending up with £10 after working all week, paying rent, fares and bills. Not on.

 

I'm looking forward to the move - started clearing up old paperwork and found details of old Paragon loan which DOES have PPI so going for them when I move in a couple of weeks.

Parents who can't control their children and do nothing whilst they scream the place down. This was a doctors surgery and I wasn't happy at all. Unless I'm being that unreasonable in expecting parents to put their phones down and keep an eye on their child?

Neighbour's very, very loud music.

 

 

Currently having thoughts of 'Shining-esque' style violence - axe, door, then stereo equipment. If only I owned an axe......

 

 

Why is it no one playing ultra loud music ever plays decent music?? Forced listening to dance crap for the last 3 hours isn't enjoyable...at least, I guess without the drugs he and his friends are evidently availing themselves of.
