      Another P2G / EVRi Lost Parcel Claim

      By steam_hammer · Posted

      I removed them as they have my email address on them, and so shall repost them once my Snagit scrolling capture thing starts working (needs reinstalling I think as it keeps falling over); they are an email that runs over two pages, so would be best suited to a scrolling capture. As for multi page formats, this is harder as I have no tools available to merge documents, unless you can suggest any free ones that will perform offline merges without watermarking

      Oh that is very helpful, thanks a million for answering my query. Looking at the license right now. At the front it says the issue date is 2022 (that's when I swapped it), but at the back it says 2015 next to Category B. So, I'm definately at 12 points, right?

      The two PDF documents that you posted earlier are unavailable. I don't know why but maybe they are corrupt. I have deleted them Please will you post up again. Also please can you post multiple PDF documents in a single file multipage format, correct order right way round et cetera. Thank you

      License points limit

      By Man in the middle · Posted

      The New Drivers Act sees a driver's licence revoked if he accrues six points within two years of becoming a qualified driver. If you passed your test in an EU country, then that is the date you became a "qualified driver" for the purposes of that Act.  For drivers who became qualified more than two years previously, if they accrue twelve or more points within a three year period they face a mandatory six month disqualification unless they can persuade the court that they or others will face "exceptional hardship" if they are banned.  In both cases, the dates of the offences are used to calculate the relevant period.

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

On another note, last week I received a letter dated the March 25th (I think) saying that my new provider is CT. However I received a letter yesterday dated April 1st which refers to my earlier letter (request for a refund and cancellation) and they are investigating my complaint, expecting to contact me again by April 15th as they are still unable to answer my complaint. I'm not sure if they're pulling some sort of April fools joke or just slow at picking up the complaints letters lol.

 

I expect another letter soon advising that they have resolved with CT being the new provider.

Hi Yasmin, I was wondering that too, so I just called the FOS and asked them to clarify. They said that it would be up to Barclays and that they could not enforce the bank to keep the account on hold. Not paying could have an affect on your credit rating.

 

So it would be best to call/write to Barclays to request that the account is kept on hold until the dispute is resolved.

I contacted Barclays 2day and was on the phone to em for about 30 mins, spoke to someone from the customer relations who was really no help, but said computeach is the provider and to try em and if there is any problem then raise the issue wid them.. I explained to them that computeach was one of the providers i didnt want to choose at first cause of the negative feedback from current students, and said if i really wanted to chose computeach i would have done at first and not selected computeach, and they are indeed not a like to like provider as all there workshops and exams are based in dudley, where wid advent the exams could be taken locally for everyone.

 

I have sent out 3-4 letters to them since this whole mess started but not recived no letter for an explantion regarding my complaint.

 

I have requested them to reply to my letter in writing, so then atleast i will have a written statement for which hopefully i can keep hold of and give em to FOS, as soon as.

 

The lady said there is no way what so ever, we would be getting any money back as they have found a new provider, i explained they are crap and many reasons to why i dont want to expect them, so why should i be slapped in my face wid a provider i dont want to be wid...

 

ITS MY MONEY !!! I Shouted !! Its me money ! i Want it back !!!!!

Hi, I contacted the ombudsman the other day, they have sent me a letter explaining they have contacted BPF and to wait for them to contact me regarding my initial complaint. The only thing is, I sent my complaint to Glasgow and the address the OS has given me is for cardiff. Does anyone know who I should be sending my complaints to...... Cardiff or Glasgow???????

I was wondering what will be Barclays choices if you refuse to contact computeach??.

I for one will not authorise Barclays to give money to computeach in my name.. if they give it.. then its out of their pockets they can take me to court.. I am out of work.. I will sign over all my worldy possesions to someone else.. what will they get?? at least in the nick I can apply to do a degree course and its all paid for :)

Hi, Nail-em-2 The Wall that's what I'd like to do to them for giving us all this hassle.

There's not a lot I can say at the minute till we get some information from the site team.

 

Hi to all the new people please click the" Red Triangle Report Button" under your user name and enter your situation in the pop up box only the site team see this.

Have a read back at some previous posts that may help to clarify where we're at. (or confuse you more):)

Hi Everybody.

 

I am new here and after spending hours reading through all the posts could someone please give me some advice as i am now confused.

 

I took out a open ended mcse course in april 2008 on the 1 year defered payment finance through BPF which was in my dads name after the year was up my dad paid the finance off in full just to save the interest charges.

 

apparently even though the finance is paid off we are still a BPF customer.

 

I have also received the letter and e-mail from compu-farce that i have not responded to as yet.

 

Could anyone tell me what i should do next.

 

i am no longer in the position to study even if i wanted to so if there is anyway of getting some money back count me in.

 

i will donate a percentage of any money we can get back.

they want their pound of flesh and dont care where it comes from.. look what they did with the finacial crisis.. they made the mess with their corparate greed and everyone else has had to pay.. this situation is no different.. Barclays changed their business model and we are the ones who have to pick up our lives after the decision.. and they go home and sleep soundly :mad:

I think that comes under the interpretation of like for like.. if they really had to pay for the same as advent.. it will cost them much more.

 

And if you notice with computeach their business model is payments on a yearly basis.. I bet that the money paid by BPF will only cover for the one years worth of study

Does any one know if there is any way possible to get copy's of our credit agreements as i seem to have misplaced mine.

but with references to prices it is only cheaper with CT if you complete the course in 2/3yrs, what if it takes longer???? I have been studying for 1 year and have not passed the first exam yet, does that mean it's gonna take me 5/6yrs to complete???? if it does then computeach will charge for the extra time, making it much more expensive, if you look at it that way!!!!
