    • Just to cover yourself, you should write them a letter in response telling them that you are rejecting their offer. That they know full well that their insurance is an attempt to limit or exclude liability contrary to section 57 Consumer rights act and is a secondary contract contrary to section 72.  By the way was the offer made without prejudice or in confidence or anything? Maybe you could post up their offer here please
    • "Dear HR, I refer to my correspondence of *date* in which I challenged xxx, copy attached. Clearly this was a grievance, and yet does not seem to have been heard under the grievance procedure. I am exceptionally dismayed that this 'review'. which never took place, seems to be being used as a criteria in redundancy selection proceedings. As this is time critical, please advise asap."            
    • Just to update, received a revised offer of £75 from P2G after they got my LOC last Friday. They stated that because it was not insured this would be their final offer. Looks like we are going to court.

    • 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.

Ruby, if you have done everything you can, gathered all the information you can, got the support of the people who know, then there is nothing to worry about and nothing to detract you from the sleep of babes. Have faith.

Just to let you know no post today. Will not be posting on Friday and Saturday. On the back of having won at the appeal tribunal and arrears being due I booked a break in Oxford for 2 nights. It was at a reduced price but immediate payment due and no refund if cancelled.

 

Hope you get some word soon.

Hello Ruby Tuesday,

 

One of my favourite quotes

 

If you're going through hell, keep going." Winston Churchill

(edit)

 

Father takes his young son to the golf course for the first time. In the car park the young boy goes to look at a luxurious Rolls Royce. He notices something on the driver's seat and asks his Dad what they are? His father says son they are tees to rest your balls on. The son replies those Rolls Royce people think of everything dont they. Keep your spirits up.

 

Good bunch of people on here.

i am not sure thats right, if your still basically in appeal, as theyre appealing now against the tribunal? so until thats had a final outcome i dont think they can do this, but you need advice from someone who knows for sure, is the 18th within the time for them to give reasons for taking the appeal up a step? i would check it out with the CAB or maybe someone here knows the ruling?

no its not not within the time,which is why i think i`v got bad news comming my way,they have got till dec 4th(to lodge an appeal)but i think they must have already done so or why else would they call me for an interview

yeh but surely even if they feel they have grounds to lodge another appeal, then that would have to be heard and decided before anything else? its not done and dusted until if/when that happens, surely? even if they lodge an appeal now it wont be heard by the 18th december, you need proper advice on this one, i would have thought that while any kind of appeal is still open then this cant happen, please get proper advice on monday from the cab if nobody here has come forward with it. i would even start a new thread on it to bring it to the attention of those on here that may know? it wont hurt to try?

when i first lost my pca medical i was advised by dwp to claim jsa,i wish now i had opted for income support,looking for at least 3 jobs a week is killing me(either emailing them or phone or just calling in places etc,and then you have to produce proof of looking for work,i am now seeing a specialist nurse to commence new treatment in jan/feb(i have ankolising spondylitis)this treatment is approx £10.000 per person and is only given out in severe cases,surely that tells them something,also i was awarded dla low care in july mainly because i cant bend without severe pain,depending on my how my treatment goes in jan i will maybe put in for low rate mobility as i`m struggling to walk without pain,does any one know ,if dwp do take it the next level,can i change to income support

Sorry I can't offer a lot of help ee-bee, especially as I've just noticed you're on JSA of which I know nothing :(

As a short term measure, can't your GP sign you off for a while? I would have thought, with the pain you're in, it would be reasonable request...

Good luck hunni.

Hello ee-bee,

 

Just a quick post. You are going down 2 paths at the same time at the moment. One path is your IB appeal and the other path is your JSA claim.

 

The Back to Work interview does not mean that anything bad has happened with your IB appeal. While you are waiting for your IB appeal to be sorted out you have to do the things that people claiming JSA do and that includes the BTW interview.

I know nothing I say will stop you worrying but you have not heard anything new about your IB appeal that is bad and the DWP are nearly out of time for a chance for them to appeal.

hi melissa teadybear,thanks for that reply,it has made me feel a bit better,believe it or not i was always a very optimistic person untill all this happened,and slowly but surely the whole business of this pca medical is wearing me down,have you heard anything? hope you had a good weekend

Hello ee-bee,

 

No post today so no bad news today. Had a great weekend.

 

Just a thought about something that if you decided to do you really would need to take proper advice. If you have a supportive doctor and the whole business is getting you down could you get a medical certificate for anxiety/depression? In other words if they have turned you down for IB for one reason now claim for another. But seriously if you want to do that to avoid claiming JSA get proper advice as Mr T does not if doing that would cause you problems down the line.

hi ee-bee ...no date yet, but they wrote to me a few weeks ago and said that the earliest date is likely to be in january, my CPN did say in her letter that the stress of this is affecting my treatment, which it truly is, as well as my whole day and night, and asked if possible could my hearing be a priority, i doubt they do that, as all of us are waiting and ill, but it was nice of her to try, she is just being as supportive as she can, so no hearing date yet.
