    • as another of farages faragit reformatory boy shows his true colours Ian Gribbin, the party's candidate in Bexhill and Battle claimed * ' the country would be "far better" if it had "taken Hitler up on his offer of neutrality" instead of fighting the Nazis in World War Two. err tell that to the russians - who did .. * said people should  “exorcise the cult of Churchill and recognize that in both policy and military strategy, he was abysmal”. * Praised Russian president Vladimir Putin as he: "understands the bonds that create more stable societies; the hypocrisy of the West is preposterous as we stare in the face daily the enormous economic equalities created by our deluded neo liberal ideas" and "if only the West had politicians of his class".   * 'women were the "sponging gender" and should be "deprived of health care". * "Men pay 80% of tax – women spend 80% of tax revenue. On aggregate as a group you only take from society. Less complaining please from the 'sponging gender'." - Wonder what his momma thinks of that?   On being caught out, cribbin initially refused to comment before belatedly and weakly 'apologising' A Reform spokesman said the comments were “written with an eye to inconvenient perspectives and truths”. Chairman Tice said “We’re really pleased with all candidates." Leader Farage seemed to think the greens vetting OUT and suspending 20 unsuitable candidates was a 'bigger problem' than reform not only leaving **** the unsuitable in abut also being apologists for them     Reform candidate says UK should have ‘taken Hitler’s neutrality offer’ WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK He also praised Russian president Vladimir Putin and described Winston Churchill as ‘abysmal’   Reform UK candidate apologises over Hitler neutrality comments WWW.BBC.CO.UK Ian Gribbin says his grandparents were "Russian Jews fleeing persecution" and his comments were taken out of context.

    • 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.

I cancelled my DD and ive just got a letter from the Head of Operations saying that although he is aware of the dispute it is important I keep my account up to date. Ive written a letter back stating that boths sides are in agreement there is nothing more for me to pay and the only dispute is how much they owe me. Ive advised perhaps I should be chasing them for installments instead and that if they do take action against my account I will be raising a seperate complaint to the ombudsmen for mispractice. I sent it Saturday and am awaiting response.

Hi did you accept an offer off them ? If so i dont understand why they want you to keep your account up to date. The matter should be closed with out you needing to pay another single penny and i would have also cancelled the DD

I can confirm that i do not need to make the payment that is due to go out this wednesday. I asked that due to a final offer being made this week by management if it's satisfactory and i accept will the account be closed? The answer was YES. I then i asked do i need to make the payement due to go out this week? The answer was NO!

 

Lets hope this offer is a full refund :rolleyes:

Will be interesting to see how they play this now, I to made a counter statement by stating that the course was not based on time spent but via units e.g 8 of them, split them up by dividing the total cost of the course, took into account deposit paid and stated why I thought it was fair to reclaim total cost. Will be very interesting to see if they are basing this different per complaint or they are doing this as a whole group thing. Time will tell.

hi everyone

Just to let you know that i have accpectd there 2nd offer that they sent me i throught that is was very reasonable. i had been on the course for six months and when i sat down and did my sums i would be only be lossing £400 which i can live with. I have cancelled my dircet debt last week and have reciveid a letter saying that they have recived my letter saying that i will accept there offer now i am just waiting for the money to go in to the bank but do not know how long that will take for some reason i dont think they will be in a rush to refund us. one thing i have learnt is that i would never do anything like this again and i would stop pepole doing distance learning as it is not all as it is made out to be. There is just one more thing that i would like to say and this is for all of us thank god we are with Hitachi and not Barcalys at least Hitachi are making us offers not like Barcalys they are trying to make there students go with computeach and have not made any offers at all to there students:)

Great news mazzer!

Good to hear that you got an offer you are happy with 2nd time round. Just out of curiosity what was your 1st and 2nd offer? Just for reference of what sort of offer the rest of us may possibly get.

Also if I am correct looking at previous posts here, were you registered with advent for a couple of years but did not progress to far due to problems as this is/was the exact same situation for myself. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated in any shape or form :)

Hi

The frist offer was for Just over £ 1100 and i turned that down i wrote to then and explained that even though i started the course in feb 2008 i had only done the course for 6 months and it had been on hold for 18 months and that advent knew about this and that i could prove it. they then sent me a second offer which was just short of £2000. I am happy with this because you have to remember a couple of things 1 i only did the course for 6 months and 2 i still have got 1 more year to pay the loan off ( well not any more as the account is closed ) so in total i have only paid £1300 out of £4750

I dont blame you for taking it Mazzer, I started shortly after you (March 2008 ) and ive done a few more qualifications so Im hoping I get offered a similar amount and would also accept it.

 

Bet thats a weight off your mind !!

Update for today,

Still no final offer from Hitachi, they stated 10days on the last letter they sent me and this is now 2 days over due!! Rang them yet again and all the nice girl on the phone could say was "it is still with management and a letter should be sent out shortly" asked her on a time scale and she was not able to give one other than to say hopefully by the end of the week. Quite frankly this is turning out to be one dragged out event. Oh well time to get solicitor involved and claim on stress etc. Just want the refund and to forget about this whole bloody thing now.

Hi Guys

 

Sorry, i forgot to post this yesterday.

 

I spoke to HCF and they said that my letter was posted on friday. Like yourselves i should receive it either today or wednesday.

 

In the meantime i've contacted the Financial Ombudsman i sent my case, by post, around a week/a week and half ago. They have received it and i my case has been assigned. The FO aim to sent a written response to me in the next two weeks. The person i spoke to was also very friendly and helpful and they're well aware of the situtation with Advent and HCF.

 

After the lack of response and communication from HCF i putting all my confidence in the FO. I will keep you updated on my progress. I WILL get ALL of MY MONEY back!!!

:cool:
