    • Hi. Could you post up what they've sent please so we can see what the charge is? Cover up your name and address and their reference number. HB
    • I've looked through all our old NPE threads, and as far as we know they have never had the bottle to do court. There are no guarantees of course, but when it comes to put or shut up they definitely tend towards shut up. How about something like -   Dear Jonathan and Julie, Re: PCN no.XXXXX cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea that you actually expected me to take this tripe seriously and cough up. I'll write to you not some uninterested third party, thanks all the same, because you have are the ones trying to threaten me about this non-existent "debt". Go and look up Jopson v Homeguard Services Ltd, saddos.  Oh, while you're at it, go and look up your Subject Access Request obligations - we all know how you ballsed that up way back in January to March. Dear, dear, dear - you couldn't resist adding your £70 Unicorn Food Tax, you greedy gets.  Judges don't like these made-up charges, do they? You can either drop this foolishness now or get a hell of a hammering in court.  Both are fine with me.  Summer is coming up and I would love a holiday at your expense after claiming an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to your deafening silence.   That should show them you're not afraid of them and draw their attention to their having legal problems of their own with the SAR.  If they have any sense they'll crawl back under their stone and leave you in peace.  Over the next couple of days invest in a 2nd class stamp (all they are worth) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."

    • 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.

Thanks ee-bee, we're now well into double figures! Once we hit treble figures we can start looking at organising things - hopefully in the middle of their pesky election :)

Hey

 

OK, Atos have been rude and abrupt with me twice on on the phone and actually bullied me out of continuing with my ESA claim!

 

Eventually I got so annoyed about it I went back, got on ESA, forced my GP to get me into a specialist and hey presto no ATOS to be seen! I am waiting for an appointment with them but I felt it important to get to the specialist first given my previous experience with them, at least they cannot undermine a professional opinion surely?

Hiya One and All

 

This will interest you it smacks of incompetency this girl had two ATOS medical assessments one by a future employer they said she was not fit to work so this girl claims ESA and had a medical again by ATOS and they said (yup you have guessed it) she was fit to work.

Hi All

I Cannot agree more that we should all join forces and cause as much of a stir as possible. With all due respect i doubt very much that asking your local candidates their view and intentions will have any affect at all.

We disabled are an easy target and should not accept this anymore.

This may sound extreme but i feel we need to take this to London (those of us that are able to do so) and gain as much media attention as possible.

It is only a matter of time that we are going to lose out financially and when this happens it will be impossible to reverse.

We need to stop this from happening.

What are your views?

How would we go about it?

I tried something similar on another site and it mysteriously got shut down,dont mention dr,s names as you could maybe get the site into trouble.I agree we all need to do something about atos.

 

Everyone who loses their benefits should go to appeal as it may cause havoc with the appeals process, everyone should get their mp involved as they wont like to work for a change , everyone should write to yvette cooper as i am sure she thinks people wont, everyone should complain to atos and go through their complaints procedure to make their job harder, everyone that can should take their complaints to the general medical council to try and get them involved,everyone that can should contact the parlimentary ombudsman as they can look into the dwp and atos.

 

We may not be able to march on 10 downing street but we all maybe individualy be able to disrupt the system and the people that work for atos.I have and i will not take no for an answer from atos, the dwp, my mp, yvette cooper or anyone else i think is cullpable for this totaly unfair biased system that our government have put in place.Please keep fighting and dont let them push you aside.

I contacted both my Mp and MSP and the appeal came round a way lot quicker thatn expected, and my MP contacted Yvette Cooper who has passed the buck to Terry Moran who is CEO of DWP!!

 

We have out son's appeal on Tuesday.:eek:

 

We should keep up the pressure and the more people who know about the ATOS mickey mouse doctors the better.

 

Even if when I talk to people at the jobcentre they are appalled that a mojority of people who are clearly ill and shouldnt be working are failing the medical exams.

Thanks really really suprised that this topic on here and on FB as not generated a huge response I was ashamed to read the piece on amputees being defined as fit for work if they can pick things up with both stumps if this government was as tough on crime and immigration and the bankers then this country wouldn`t be in the mess it is:)

Hi

Is There a website or forum where you can post the name of the Atos HCP that carried out your WCA and was found to have complaints against him upheld by the Atos 1st tier tribunal as in my case .

( the tribunal even said this "doctor" has a higher complaint rate than is to be expected and will be reviewed by the MM )

He came to uk from Poland and never worked for anyone but ATOS and didnt have 3 yrs post registration with GMC.

I'm still in process of finding what registered body in poland he had 3 yrs post reg with !

was to have my ESA appeal last fri but on the morning they rang me and told me they looked at my evidence and they had allowed my appeal !

Still not gonna let them get off that easily ,this Doc hasnt heard the last of me until he is sanctioned for what he did/is doing.

Sorry to sound paranoid but had a year of this and you tend to go one way or the other ....give up through the sheer stress of it all ..or fight like hell and give them all you got(if your able to )

Cheers

Well done for setting up the group. I know my case isn't as severe as most and I do want to work but I thought my case exemplified the failings of Atos so HAD to speak to the media. They have no justifications as to the contradictory findings but I am sure they will somehow wangle their way out of taking responsibility.

 

I would advise people to contact their MP (although now parliament has dissolved i'm not sure how that works???) as mine as been really supportive (although unfortunately has achieved little in regards to holding atos to account).

 

Just keep fighting for what you rightly deserve.

Every case is SEVERE as ATOS failings are ruining lives. They are blantanly ignoring the medical evidence from your own doctors and specialists.

both labour and conservatives are using the same advisor who recomends ATOS HEALTHCARE so do not expect either of those two parties to help

I don't think the 3 main parties will give a hoot anyway because ATOS are doing there job,less people on IB/ESA and More on JSA or working.

Have a read of this it makes for shocking read http://research.dwp.gov.uk/asd/workingage/esa_wca/esa_wca_19012010.pdf and this just one quarter/3 month period last year.

 

9 per cent have been assessed as Support Group

23 per cent have been assessed as Work Related Activity

68 per cent have been deemed Fit for Work

 

What's is going to happen and is happening More people will be forced off IB/ESA to JSA and work and more people getting into debt.

 

I'm sorry,but we all need to get a reality check :evil:
