    • There are two things to immediately clarify. Firstly, why did court papers go to the wrong address?  In 99% of backdoor CCJ cases here the person moves and doesn't update the vehicle log book address.  Or they move and they don't inform the parties who they are in legal dispute with of the new address.  Does either of these apply to you? Secondly, given this has been going on for over three years without presumably any ill effects on you, how important is it for you to have a clean credit file?  I ask as, if you do absolutely nothing, the CCJ will disappear in April 2027.
    • Sorry to ask, but I know I had SB template on PC, but can't find it. Also any search for template\SB letter takes me back here.  Any help to get to SB letter would be appreciated. I know I used it on a car HP co that wouldn't honor my FCS refund and after 6 years came threatening ( or rather their DCA). Worked a treat. Thanks in advance
    • Received this letter today after all this time !! Doesn’t sound like just a threat any advice please  Thanks  Photo.pdf
    • Good evening. Hoping to keep this short and concise. Any help really appreciated! Sent originated from council tax in 2019.  I moved address for a new career 240miles away in December 2019 and have lived here ever since.  A distant friend resides at previous address.  A CCJ was filed regarding this debt in January 2020 but no correspondence was received my end or at the old address.  Move forward to this year; early April I learn of a letter received from Bailiff - Notice of Enforcement dated 13/03. Stated I had ten days to settle a payment/payment plan or £75 will be added after ten days from 13/03 and bailiff instructed to visit.  Obviously I was unaware of this letter till well after the time period passed. Attempted to contact Dukes via email but zero response. Asked for breathing space in order to check the original debt with the respective council (I wasn’t awarded a week of Housing despite being on UC for a short period due to a contract date given by the old employer).  29/04 a note was left at the old address stating a bailiff had visited. New balance £310 more than original outstanding.  I’ve since contacted both the council and the bailiff agent to state I’m more than happy to settle the original debt over a payment plan but at this stage they will not remove the fees despite all correspondence not being sent to me and obviously me only seeing them much later than one would have expected.  Tried live chat today with the company and firstly was told the fees will remain because I spoke to the enforcement agent - I have never spoken to him/her.  secondly told the fees would remain because “I tried to use their web chat service to complete an income form” - I have zero recollection of doing this and I also wonder if it’s another tactic? any help on where I stand with the fees added would be incredible. 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.

Fitness tip for them who can't face the gym: Wii Fit. It really is great, has lots of different exercises/games, it creates your own fitness/weight monitoring (which you can keep private if you don't want the family snooping). I am NOT a gamer, but I love my Wii-fit, and very worth the outlay if you can afford it. :-)

 

SSL, good luck with the stuff, let us know how it's working out for you!

 

I'm going to be cooking today in preparation for starting again, my main problem is breakfast, I can't be bothered with a cooked breakfast, but I need to eat 1st thing, so I am going to prepare some quiches/flans, that kind of stuff so I can just reach out in the fridge 1st thing and not end up eating toast because I can't be bothered doing anything else.

 

Breakfast is ESSENTIAL to get your body kicking off the day properly, if you skip it, you'll be starving a couple of hours later and reach out for whatever is nearby and that's when the grazing habit starts, not good.

 

If you buy ready-made stuff, watch out for hidden sugars: anything that contains dextrose, cellulose, glucose is a big no-no. (ready cooked chicken for example) A lot of ready made products contains bulking agents which are invariably starchy and really not good for you.

 

a good place to get flavourings is your local Asian shop, their spices are usually only made of spices, no bulking agents or thickeners, and a little goes a long way.

 

It's amazing and maybe why LC is being so discredited: there is no profit in it for companies! If you stick to home, fresh cooking, then you're good to go! No need for ready meals, expensive branded stuff, bulked up products, and not a shake in sight, lol. (although I can give you the recipe for a good LC shake if that interests anyone!)

 

Right now, my thai chicken is ready, I will be having that dipped in real Greek yogurt, yum yum. :-)

I've got my chicken fillets ready to cook for tea tonight and lunch tomorrow (mixed some, chilli and coriander with yoghurt for a marinade), and taking boiled eggs, ham and tomatoes for breakfast at work tomorrow.

Not the gym here, luvvie, it's that ancient that you have to cycle harder if you want to power the treadmill! :rolleyes:

 

ooo I was relunctant to mention the 'gym' word as it may not be so accessible or the place you want to go, people must protest my dear if the local council fails to provide amenities. Good to hear you are having more joy with the Wi fit Booky.

 

Sending massive support to you Ellen and others starting this diet journey.

Well, they can't have everything, dear... Instead, our Tory council is going to build itself a £450 million new HQ, so I'm afraid things like gyms, school meals and libraries will just have to go to the back of the queue. :rolleyes:

Bookie - quick question. If I get hungry between meals, have you any suggestions for "snacking". Needs to be something I can take to/keep in fridge at work.

I'm back on the wagon today. Boiled eggs for breakfast, salad for lunch, home made turkey keema for tea with no rice or bread (there's not much left over runny sauce anyway and is good on it's own). Work out DVD inbetween lunch and tea. I'm naughty at weekends but tell myself if I'm good all week I can have my weekend, and it helps keep me focussed.

Cheese!

 

I usually snack on nice mature cheddar, with tomatoes (and flavoured olive oil to dip if you fancy).

 

You can make your own cheese "crisps": cut pieces of hard cheese (parmesan, pecorino, hard cheddar) and microwave them on parchment/silicone for a couple of mns (they're ready when the edges are just starting to brown), let them go hard and eat them on their own or dipped in greek yogurt. You can also make them in different flavours by adding herbs, cracked pepper, spices etc... They are VERY moorish, but as it's cheese that's ok, it's virtually carb-free!!! :-D

I like the mini Babybell's. I like cheese a bit too much so I get them for snacks. It means I have a portion already cut and therefore can't go mad :). They do different types including cheddar. Celery is supposed to be good if you like it as it takes more calories to digest it than the celery contains.

 

Just done my DVD. My face is as red as my eyes lol. *sings* "I must, I must, I must decrease my butt".
