    • Thanks for your responses.  I feel a little bit better now.  I really got the wind put up me when I read about 'bad character and reprehensible behaviour of non-defendant witnesses' and the press guidelines from the Independent Press Standards Organisation. court-reporting-public.pdf (ipso.co.uk) Reporting Restrictions in the Criminal Courts (July 2023) (judiciary.uk) It's a tricky one because, without going into too much detail, all of the victims are of bad character already, otherwise they never would have met the accused, and I fear that the very much tumultuous relationship I have had with the victim that connects me to this case is going to be broadcast for all to hear. The accused isn't going to be anonymous, his name and even his home address were reported in the national press in the preliminaries.    Thank you.

    • 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.

Hi All

Like you all I have been taken to the cleaners over the last 5 years in charges from the Halifax! They bounced a cheque once because i was 23 pence under even though a cheque of £350 was due to clear the following day. Unfortunately my credit rating is poor and they were the only bank to accept me!

I posted the initial Data Protection Request on Friday 24th March by first class recorded delivery.

I will keep you posted on developments!!

Good luck glennsterblue - is the Halifax your existing bank, or have you since moved?

 

If this is still your main account, you might want to consider searching for a new one now, before things really start hotting up!!

It won't be - all banks are the same at the moment and until we have some proper, healthy competition, they will carry on being as bad as each other.

Don't be. They avoid some, and fob off others. I got the fob off but don't feel any more special for it.

 

I go to court tomorrow to file my claim - we've all had the feeling that we might be 'the one' - I rather hope I am.

Hi Madonna

If you go to the Ni courts website and create a log in its lets you complete small claims on line. The papers are prepared at Laganside Courts but you can list your local court for hearing (if it comes to that). I spoke to them today as they are serving the papers in England we need to sign a declaration of some sort. (They post that out to you) They also said it may take slightly longer to process.

You can then view the progress of your case online.

I am waiting now to hear when they serve the papers but ill keep you updated on what happens!!
