    • Can you complete this ASAP also:    
    • 25/05/2024? That the deadline or the date of the claimform?
    • Banks have different limits above which they require Probate. So it may be Probate is not needed, although as he died with no Will that could complicate things. Is all the £28k with Virgin Money? Your wife should contact all banks who hold his money with the death certificate and ask them what they need to release the funds to her. Most banks have a central "bereavement department". Check their websites. Use that department rather than general call centre or bank branch if they have one. Nearly every bank website has a section on "what to do when a customer dies" so have a search for that. Your wife may also have to provide evidence that she is his daughter. When his wife died it sounds like they had a joint bank account so that's why her money just went across to him. But as it isn't a joint account now transfer to your wife won't be quite that simple.  
    • That explains it then. MET's fantasy is that it's a pay car park.  You're only let off paying if you are a Starbucks customer which you can't be when Starbucks is closed.  'Cos otherwise lots of people would abuse the car park facilities on the far edge of the Stansted Airport area in the middle of nowhere to ... admire the bushes?  Look at the cloudy sky? The important thing is that we have around 140 cases for this site, and MET have only tried court seven times.  Even then, they had no intention of getting as far as a hearing, they were attempting to intimidate the motorists into paying, when the Caggers defended the cases MET discontinued.
    • She's an only child and he as a brother and sister. He has no will and we have done a check on this to find out if he had left one and nothing has come up. He has savings of around 28k His sister and brother are well off so 28k is nothing to them and aren't interested in his money. This just leaves my wife/his daughter. Would this still need to go to probate there is no estate e.g house or business to sell and the amount left in his bank is just small? When his wife died they just closed her bank account and moved her money across to his account and we just assumed that once my wife has handed in the death certificate and shown evidence of who she is the same would apply to her? We don't know yet the council have only just written to us today with a guide of what to do next.

    • 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.

The judge asked me if I had read their defence and still wanted to proceed. I said "yes" and then the little man started arguing :p

I'll give him his due, he did try really hard to avoid a trial, even requesting a stay before allocation when all else failed. This has just been another example of how these big companies think they can ride rough-shot over the law and the consumer. If nothing else it has made me even more determined to make them accountable for their actions :mad:

Thanks Postggj :)

Yes I added all payments with interest to my claim form.

I decided against the cost of a replacement car and instead went for the value of the car as stated in the agreement. It's not like they ever make any allowances for depreciation or mileage when chasing you for the outstanding balance! All dealings must be fair for both parties ;)

for other reading this who are in a simlar situation as wanna and myself, if you earn under £31,000 (including partners earnings for couples) you may be entitled to free legal representation via civil legal aid.

 

i have just spoken to an adviser from this organisation, Can I get legal aid?

 

and completed their assessment calculator and as i have recently taken a lower paid job i apparently qualify for free legal aid, i explained what my case was and they said it was acceptable.

 

best part is the site diverts you straight to solicitors in your area who will take the case on and one of the ones in my area that came up i know and they are a good firm of solicitors so i am going to look into getting some formal legal representation for my case, if it's free why not.

Oh yes it does! :p

He was quite distressed at having the case allocated to trial for some reason :p

We had a little "chat" outside the courtroom ;)

 

He tried to be a little patronising and explain to me what a return of goods claim was :eek: His little round face soon screwed up when I said, "yes I know what a return of goods claim is, it's what Welcome finance should've issued before repossessing my car!"

He suddenly became devoid of words :p

 

 

:lol: :lol: :lol: LOVE IT

I tried this the solicitor I had said due to the type of case legal aid may not cover it just a warning hence me being a LiP instead

Good stuff. Yes, I'd go for getting judgment too, after all they admitted they did it, there is precious little to discuss, it seems to me. Also, from a psychological, you going for the throat will remind them (in case they had any doubt) that they'd be better off negotiating a settlement and fast. they're so used to bullying people that when it comes their way, they'll be a lot more unsure of themselves and getting them wrong footed can only be a bonus. ;-)

Hello and thank you :)

Yes I did complain to the IPCC and had it dealt with by local resolution. They are also aware that pending the outcome of this case I will be suing them too ;)

They could've done things very differently and I will make sure they know exactly what the score is :)

Thanks for your support, it's very much appreciated x

Thanks Bookworm, the only reason I didn't go for SJ when I received their defence was that the hearing was only 2 weeks away and I didn't want to risk a lengthy adjournment while there was a chance it could've been all sorted today.

But got the adjournment today anyway so I've nothing to lose :)

The worst that can happen is that the judge dismisses my SJ application and it will proceed to trial anyway. So it's 6 of one, half a dozen of the other ;)
