    • Another one. Apparently this has been hushed up for about three months. They're working through their majority quite fast with all the sackings. Not that they've done anything about Menzies yet but he sounds like a blackmail risk. Here's the original article.   Revealed: Tory MP allegedly demanded campaign cash to pay ‘bad people’ ARCHIVE.PH archived 18 Apr 2024 07:32:33 UTC  
    • and another one   MP Mark Menzies loses Tory whip as party investigates claims he misused funds "According to a source close to Mr Menzies, the MP had met a man on an online dating website and gone to the man’s flat, before subsequently going with another man to a second address where he continued drinking. He was sick at one point and several people at the address demanded £5,000, claiming it was for cleaning up and other expenses." The sum, which rose to £6,500, was eventually paid by his office manager from her personal bank account and subsequently reimbursed from funds raised from donors   Never mind losing whip - how about criminal charges   MP Mark Menzies loses Tory whip as party investigates claims he misused funds WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK The Fylde MP is alleged to have used campaign funds to pay off ‘bad people’ and cover medical expenses   ALSO According to the The Times, £14,000 given by donors for use on Tory campaign activities was transferred to Mr Menzies’ personal bank accounts and used for private medical expenses. The MP, who is one of Rishi Sunak’s trade envoys, is also said to have called his 78-year-old former campaign manager at 3.15am one day in December, claiming he was locked in a flat and needed £5,000 as a matter of “life and death”.   Hes supposed to use funding from Taxpayers and doners for a life of service, not funding a life of drink and debauchery Hope his parliamentary expenses are also investigated.   In fact, perhaps Mr Bates next role in life should be as an independent investigator of Parliamentary expenses?

    • 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.

Don't panic, the Customer Account Managers are pretty much bullied into chase, chase, chase by Branch Manager and in turn Area Managers.

They are targeted at branch level to keep their 'delinquencies' or arrears cases to a bare minimum. Always have done, always will do. All in all it is very aggresive, but forms a big part of their monyhly targets and of course 'commission'.

1) if you have asked them not to call work number, they have to respect this, should then be noted on their electronic record of your account.

2) all of their calls are recorded and once requested to strike the work number, they have to. So if you want to write, requesting this tactic ceases, also mentioning has been requested verbally and you know calls are recorded.They have to abide and also reply - they have to keep a complaints log to satisfy part of the 'Treating Customers Fairly' philosophy.

3) Account Manager will probably lie and deny they are doing anything wrong, but remind them that this is covered under the 'Treating Customer Fairly' part of the FSA guidelines and compliance rules......all in all as they know you fear the work contact route, they are using this option to keep the pressure on

4) Regularity of calls - keep a log of the number of and the times called. You are correct, if the number of these persists, it is harrassment. you may need this log, again to use against them at a later stage, especially if we go the route of reporting to Financial Ombudsman Service - the authorities are fully aware of their tactics by the sheer number of complaints and enquiries they receive

5)Solicitors love cases like this but of course being very expensive would suggest you go along to your local Citizens Advice Bureau with all letters, info, credit agreement and log of calls etc

6)Outstanding balances/repayments. No-one can ever make sense of these but simply, if you make evry payment on time throughout, agreement will end as planned, but what they rely on is erratic payers and this is why. Each month after your payment comes off, the interest gets added in the same way as on a credit card. Should you miss a payment, the balance is therefore, higher than should be, so attracts more interest, also add to this that they add charges to your account for phone calls, rejected payments, letters and anything else you can think of, these of course also attract interest. The only way to get on track is to pay all of the missed payments, extra charges levied and additional interest incurred and then the agreement will be nearer running it's natural course.

Hope this little lot gives you some comfort.

An old colleague once told me 'knowledge is power', so now you have some power, use it but resist ranting and raving, just keep it calm if you can.

I just received one of these!!

 

General Form of Judgment or Order N24space.gif

 

When a judgment is entered at court as result of a hearing or consideration by a District Judge a Judgment Order will be issued. Copies go to both the Claimant and the Defendant and contain detailed information in respect of the Judgment. A straightforward Judgment will detail:

  • The sum in respect of the original claim
  • Interest
  • Any costs or expenses
  • The total and how it should be paid

There will be a final date for payment and if installments have been agreed how these should be paid.

 

More complex judgments may require a new hearing or further actions or documents.

Im abit confused as to what its for though as N24 appears to be used to give orders as well such as providing docs etc so is this an order for it to be judged or an order for it to be allocated so to speak as they have until 3rd to submit defence....

 

saying that the order is dated 13th May 2010, Put onto form on 21st May 2010 and received 27th May 2010

Im confused in as much as there is no sign of defence as yet but then they have until next thurs so thats not an issue and irrelevant to that but this was ordered 7 days after the N1 was served so before even their first deadline was met - all I can see is its either to state where its going via the court or the DJ wasnt even interested in their defence which to me seems odd...
