    • Paragraph 18 – you are still talking about Boston stolen items. About time this was fixed??? Paragraph 19  In any event, the claimant's PS5 gaming device was correctly declared and correctly valued. The defendant accepted it for carriage and was even prepared to earn extra money by selling sell insurance in case of its loss or damage. New paragraph 20 – this the defendant routinely sells insurance in respect of "no compensation" items (a secondary contract contrary to section 72 CRA 2015) new paragraph above paragraph 20 – the defendant purports to limit its liability in respect of lost or damaged items. This is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights act 2015. The defendant offers to extend their liability if their customer purchases an insurance cover for an extra sum of money. This insurance is a secondary contract calculated to exclude or limit their liability for the defendants contractual breaches and is contrary to section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015. New paragraph below paragraph 42 – the defendant merely relies on "standard industry practice" You haven't pointed to the place in your bundle of the Telegraph newspaper extract. You have to jiggle the paragraphs around. Even though I have suggested new paragraph numbers, the order I have suggested is on your existing version 5. You will have to work it out for your next version. Good luck!   Let's see version 6 Separately, would you be kind enough to send me an unredacted to me at our admin email address.

    • i think theres been MORE than amble evidence of that and am astonished that criminal proceedings haven't begun.
    • Yep, those 'requirements' not met to shareholders satisfaction seem to me to be: 1. Not being allowed to increase customer bills by 40% (of which well over 50% of the new total would NOT be investment) 2. 1 plus regulators not agreeing to letting them do 'things in their own time (ie carry on regardless)
    • As already mentioned freely available "credit scores" are fairly useless. All lenders have their own "credit scoring" system, that for obvious reasons they don't divulge. And they're "scored" differently to the freely available ones. As soon as they could, we've always encouraged our two children to use credit cards responsibly... Pay off in full, etc, to generate good history. It's paid off. At quite young ages, they have both obtained loans for cars, mortgage and their credit card limits are through the roof. Personally, I have shifted debt around a lot on credit cards (even financed a house purchase once at 0% 😉) and I've only ever been refused a credit card once, sorry twice by the same company, over many years. They must have something very different in their lending criteria. You're a tight one, Mr Branson.

    • 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.

Hi Guys

 

On the way to work a couple of months ago I witnessed a guy fall of his motorcycle and being a biker myself I stopped to help him pick his bike up. I gave him my mobile number in case he needed me as a witness or anything and left it at that.

 

I then get a letter from a claims company asking for my insurance details and find out the guy is claiming I knocked him off!

 

It was a dual carriageway road and I had not long changed from the right lane to the left lane so my best guess is that he must have been filtering at speed between the two lanes and slammed his brakes on after seeing me change lanes.

 

Another motorist had also stopped who offered to take the guy to hospital despite the motorcyclist to hospital (and is now claiming for personal injury).

 

The guy now has a witness who I can only assume is the one who took him to hospital and because of this it looks like my insurance are going to pay out even thought the witness contradicts the motorcyclist.

 

The cyclist says I pulled from the right hand land to the left hand lane (which I had 30 seconds previously) without indicating and knocked him off his bike, the witness says I pulled from the left hand lane to the right hand lane knocking the guy off his bike.

 

And there's also the slight matter that I have a little mini cooper without a mark on it?

 

My insurance company have not been to see my car to check for damage, they've not even interviewed me properly or taken a proper statement yet they are still looking like paying out to the other party for his fictitious injuries and his £300 bike.

 

If the claim goes through I lose my protected no claims bonus due to an accident 8 months ago and my insurance doubles as a result.

 

If anyone can offer me any advice on how to proceed with this it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Best Regards

 

Tim

I'm a little confused...

 

"The guy now has a witness who I can only assume is the one who took him to hospital and because of this it looks like my insurance are going to pay out even thought the witness contradicts the motorcyclist"

 

he has a witness, but his witness contradicts him?

Correct, his witness contradicts him but the guy dealing with my claim doesn't seem to think this an issue, nor the fact the motorcyclist admits he was undertaking me/filtering at the time.

 

My insurer says it was my responsibility to check before changing lanes which obviously I did anyway.

That I pulled from the left hand lane to the right hand lane without indicating and knocked the motorcyclist over.

 

The motorcyclist is saying I pulled from the right hand lane to the left hand lane without indicating and knocked the motorcyclist over.

 

So both saying the same thing apart from which lane I was in (dual carriageway road btw).

 

It also took nearly two months for a witness statement to appear :rolleyes:

Hi Guys,

 

At the moment my insurance is saying its soley my fault although they are going to phone the witness and check how credible he is.

 

I didn't see why the motorcyclist fell but my guess is he was filtering between traffic at speed, panicked and broke to hard when he saw me change lanes.
