    • Hi dx, thanks. Yes actually, that is the case with this one! I've taken tomorrow off work, I need to review the whole binder for each of these and I'll refrain from further questions until I do just that. Just on hold for court ref Claim #2
    • 1. who knows... 2. not the whole A/C vanishes from your file on the DN's 6th b'day ...already carefully explain this. 3.yes 4.already carefully explain this.
    • if i remember rightly, long ago in one of the first drafts of the old proposed gov't overhauls, there was a listing of recommended 'charges' that inc wrong reg = £20. some PPC's implemented such changes in advance. then later as it looked increasing likely the new code was never going to be implemented after it's 1st review and another set of codes was to be debated they all quietly revert back .......... dx
    • Potentially it may not even get sold on? Just the default left for 6 years then gone? but if it is sold on ill get a letter from the DCA which is the notice of assignment? Sorry what is the different between a default notice and a default cal marker? yes, i may try and work arrangements out with the OCs after the breathing space but I'll see my circumstances then thank you again for all your help and patience, I really appreciate it and apologies If i am too fast or repeating myself.
    • receiving a default NOTICE (forget simple default cal markers) does not mean it will get sold on... OC's very very rarely do court themselves.  if it does you would receive a Notice of Assignment from the debt buyer/DCA.  as for reduced payment if it remains with the OC and they issue a DN, no harm in trying but lets get all your ducks inline first. dx

    • 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.

Saga car insurance!

After RAC put up my car insurance I did a search for a better quote and Sag came back as the best one plus had protected no claims included, I said I would pay in monthly instalments and a £20 set up fee was taken, today I checked my bank account to find Saga have taken the whole years insurance!

I tried to phone them only to be told all their agents are busy and they will call me back within 24 hours! :-x

I've not been able to read standard size print since I was 16 and there's really no such thing as large print books for young adults. A few years ago, I bought myself a Kindle and you can change the font size on that. I'm now unable to read that. :(

People who can't tell the difference between A&E and GP surgeries. Apparently, the former is a susbsitute for the latter if you can't get an answer. Going to have to bite my tongue on this one. I am aware that the condition is bloody painful (I've had similar twice) but it doesn't warrant a bloody trip to A&E.

Daily Mail articles regarding eating foods that have been linked to cancer. It would seem that most foods have at some time been linked to cancer, in a study by some university or research body that most people have never heard of.

 

Reality (my opinion based on what i have read or heard) is that cancer is mostly a genetic issue and if you have a family history of it, then you should have a healthy balanced diet with exercise and go see a Doctor if you notice any symptons.

We could do with some help from you.

Going to the Local Authorities 'hub' today to ask for help for a disabled gentleman (me). The questions asked by me were simple and easy answer, was the help given? The answer was ' we don't know how to help you!' we don't have this information. I asked again what information DO you have reply not a lot. With that I placed my bundle of information on the table and asked them to have a scan through it. Their reply was you know more than we do I am afraid.

 

 

What's so bad about that? They are paid to know more than I do. I am just trying to protect myself and my small home, not to fall into arrears or face eviction. To apply for some help and small adaptions to my home, just to keep me safe at home. What can I do except to cross my fingers and hope for the best in the future, but this is looking so beak to me atm. TBH I am a little scared to be even more honest I am REALLY WORRIED...

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

I have been there done that and still got nowhere, its hard being disabled especially if it is an instant change from being able bodied. But I will try to find what I need via Google as they have more to offer ;)
