    • A never ending torrent of **it Outrage as ‘tidal wave’ of sewage floods historic market town’s unique chalk river WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK Exclusive: Water firm pumps sewage into river Misbourne, Amersham on 21 ‘dry days’ during nearly five month period  
    • Worth noting that all of these firms - either the alleged EIS investment, the rebate company themselves or the payee were all registered to the same address. Clavering House is 3 miles away from HMRC Benton Park view offices.   Wardrop - unfortunately unsuccessful due to late appeal - assessments opened by HMRC in March 2019. Scammed by Richard Hall (Capital allowances consultants ltd - Clavering House) investments into Cryoblast Limited 15/16 (Paul Huggins - Clavering House) and Eco Cooling solutions 16/17 (Anthony Fitches - Clavering House).    Mccuminsky - scammed by Capital Allowances after providing his details to Stefan Brown Alpha Tax Consultants (Clavering House) payment made to Eco Cooling Solutions.    Robson - scammed by Capital Allowances - 15/16 paid to Cryoblast 16/17 paid to Eco Cooling.    Myself - scammed by Allan Maxwell - MaxTax (other business Maxwell electronics) registered to Clavering House.   Cryoblast Solutions and Fast Tax - Alan O’Hara    Please note there are two Cryoblasts involved - Cryoblast limited (Paul Huggins and Clavering House) and Cryoblast Solutions Limited (Alan O’Hara also director of Fast Tax).    My return simply said “Cryoblast” another thing that should have been clarified as part of HMRC guidelines before paying out the claim.    Cryoblast limited was already suspected to be involved in fraudulent claims before my investment as Huntly had open assessments issued in November 2018.    Cryoblast Solutions, the same company director as Fast Tax where my money was sent was dissolved before my claims were submitted.

    • dont need them.   let the defendant play the terms game
    • I am reading the thread now and think although its probably very similar to my predicament,  I have no way of obtaining the terms anymore due to MyParcelDelivery having being dissolved and their website not being active now. I have nothing to quote from and they didn't send me a copy at the time of order, the website that I believe they reinvented themselves as P4D has terms I am looking at now but however similar they may be I wont be able to quote from them in this case. Thanks

    • 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.

Are we're asking the wrong question?

 

Why do people donate?

 

If we know why they do, we can then repeat that process...

 

Happy days.

 

People donate when they feel they "owe" something, maybe not in the common sense of the word "owe". But for example, if you are sitting there with a Court Claim form in your hand not knowing what to do next and feelings of panic take hold of you and then someone comes along and explains what it means, what the possible consequences of the process are, how to respond to the form and then give you step by step instructions on where to go to find the information you need to fight it, suddenly the feelings of panic subside and are replaced by feelings of gratitude. You then want to "repay" that help in some appropriate way; which isn't necessarily cash. But whatever someone does to make themselves feel content that they have "paid back" for the help they got will make them feel good; and its that feeling of giving back which makes people want to donate!

 

Most people feel better to give than to receive; its a fundamental fact about the human psyche.

If I could give more I would, but I just can't. My local garage think it is hilarious that I put petrol in my car at under £2 a time. £1.26 once - because that was all I had in the world. I have 44p in my account right now, so a standing order for even a £1 would bounce and incur an £8 fee.

 

I am so very grateful for all the help I have had here. It has saved my life, but that doesn't mean I can give any more right now.

 

Like babybear I try very hard to help everyone I can on the forum. I know love doesn't make the world go round, but personally I can't do more than offer to help others.

DD, you just keep doing as you are doing and helping as much as you can, love doesn't make the world go round and DCAs won't accept love in lieu of payment, but those of us that are more fortunate (I'm not saying I'm rich; if I was I would have paid off all the credit card debts regardless), but just recently I have been getting a bit more well paid work (self employed as a teacher), so I can make some donations and therefore have done. Of course, now work has run out until September, so I may not be able to make many more donations until then. The point is though, if anyone who can contribute, does, even small amounts, this will see the site through until those who can't now can. Simple logic really, so some love to our fellow people in dire circumstances can help this site and can help our world go round more smoothly! ;)

 

And, despite what he said above, I'm sure car would agree with this!

CAG certainly don't want people who are struggling financially to feel guilty about donating - that's not what the site is about.

 

As has already been said, people give in different ways - supporting another user through desperate times is priceless and has been proved to be a life saver on more than one occasion, and for that we are extremely grateful.

 

All contributions whether moral support and advice for others who need help, or financial donations are equally important.

Help us to keep on helping

Please consider making a donation, however small, if you have benefited from advice on the forums

 

 

This site is run solely on donations

 

My advice is based on my opinion and experience only. It is not to be taken as legal advice - if you are unsure you should seek professional help.

Thank you Colin and Ell-enn,

 

I did donate last Autumn and expect to do so again, but since February two sources of my income have dried up unexpectedly and a payment due on Monday last week hasn't come in and I'm being asked to be patient. :( Thank God the child allowance comes in tomorrow.

 

The point I was trying to make is that it isn't possible for some people to set up a SO or Direct Debit for even £1 because this could result in getting bank charges. My bank is absolutely horrible by the way. I can have a reserve but not an overdraft - probably because I am challenging the credit cards. I've paid about £500 so far this year for using it because I've had no choice. Usury, or what. :mad:

I recently bought a CAG e-mail address (though I qualify for the concession) & will contribute a few quid when I can. Unfortunately like a lot of people I am unemployed and skint... but CAG has transformed our lives. Thanks (diolch):) all.

Hi Conniff-

Might as well chip in.Have a little chat.

Well personally i have always managed to try to claim back when the door has just been shut.

But have had a lot of valuable advice.Which when you get gives as someone said instant relief and a feeling of you are not alone.

Known i suppose as a skint member.And not hiding that fact.Just the way it has worked out.

A serial entrepreneur who has yet to find the winning formula not for the want of trying.

Do not ask me what i have tried it may fill in to much space.But if you want to feel free.

 

Now i do not know how tight things are for the CAG,but yes the site must have helped tens of thousands of people getting back millions of pounds in total.

And must need donations to help a little.Keep things running smoothly.Cover expenses etc.

I just went back to the Payday Loans Thread to check on where the donate button was.

Yes it is there.And people have got back a few pounds on there.Probably relieved and pay back other debts perhaps.And at the time they may have a few pounds to spare.

This is when i feel you have to grab their attention.Make them hit the donate button.At that time.But how,hard to do.

Well a suggestion and do not forget how many of my ideas have failed even if bounced along for a while,never made it big.

 

Look for the FORUMS where people are getting the bulk of money back,the PPI, the Payday Loan refunds,wherever and perhaps have a pinned thread.Similar to Twitter.

Always right in your face.At the top before any threads appear.Always will be read.Why not.

Well i just thought i would pop in and say hello and hope everything keeps bobbing along or expanding even in years to come.

Keep the ideas coming

I wish you all a good evening.

Tawnyowl.

Thanks TW, as always a smashing post. Cag doesn't want to beg, they would like people to give freely as everyone on here gives their time and experiences freely. No amount is too small and as someone once said, every little helps. I wonder who that was :)

 

It is sad that a lot come and go having been helped and don't even say thanks and even more never let us know the outcome after being given assistance. That's life I suppose, but I would hate to see this site close for the lack of running funds.

Hi Conniff-writing when you posted.

Sorry if i did not make that clear enough.Not where the stickys are.

I always go straight to the Threads.

That is where i mean.Every time you would see that first.

 

Never been the best at making things clear.Just need carefully chosen words.

Lets get the CAG oiled and running smoothly and expand into Europe then the world.

If some things are seen twice,what is meant to be is meant to be.I am going, off on one again.Better go.

A good evening to you all again.

Yes i wonder who that was.Sure is a mystery.

I have a number of payeesl account details which I donate to on my bank account

I like a lot of others I suspe!ct do my odd bills a couple of times a month, if I see I have some extra I will donate to whoever. I just run down the list,put an amount in the box and click done, or as said commence a so. Is it not possible just to have account details on the donate page ?

I am a bit of a luddite when it comes to all this stuff. I only bank online because I have no option,. I just think it would be an easier option for many not just me. I have the BKPA Christies Hospital and children in need all on the direct payment screen on my computer banking screen, and i usually manage to make some kind of donation every week as said it is easy because when i do my budget i can see what i can afford and donate accordingly.

Just saying for me it would be a lot easier and i cannot be the only one..

Well now i have read this thread and noticed where the donation buttons are i have noticed the donate button on the left flashing.

Has this been flashing long.I just thought i would ask.

Now we just need a small ten second message and then a small tune after it.

Any ideas what tune.Underneath it a link that you hit.

 

I apologise,i get some strange ideas at times.But mention things just in case.

 

Any way i have noticed it flashing,a fine idea no matter how long it has been doing that.Could you make it change colours like a traffic light.Perhaps 3 or four instead of two.One red.

Got to keep things politically correct.Red,blue,green,no favourites.

I am off now,back to my roost.
