    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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.

Had my 2pm appointment.... explained the situation exactly as on here... he took a copy of my letters and was disgraced. He knows the organisation my sister works for and also said that their past experience confirmed that DWP did keep telephone audit trails. He told me it would be a few days until he got back to me but that they would not be going through the normal channels and would go straight to a management level. all in all i was quite pleased and hope this escalates the matter , nearly 8 weeks now with benefits stopped. I will soon be hiding behind lamposts lol

Today I received 4 letters from the DWP the most significant stated that i was entitled to benefits from the date i finished working. The money has not yet appeared in the bank however. Another was more atos forms to be re submitted. another one was the standard request for another sick note but all the dates are wrong ....looks like panic has set in...

 

no time for fat ladies singing as i am nearly nine weeks without payment. but it does seem like something might be happening. and i do not know if the sar , the complaint or the mp intervention worked..... and we dont know yet if any has worked..but bucket loads of mail are now coming.....fingers crossed.....thanks all

I received a letter today from a gentleman from the dwp information and Records Management Service. The letter is really cool(NOT) IN THE WAY HE ASSUMES NOBODY IN THE WORLD KNOWS ABOUT AUDIT TRAILS. I quote

 

"It would be unreasonable and unrealistic to expect a data controller(DWP here) to sift through every recorded call held in the hope of identifying those to which an individual customer might have a right of access."

 

This is an enormous assumption about peoples ignorance with regards to IT integrated systems. They enclosed a form in which i was asked to be more specific about my requirements. I filled in the form and added this to the part which i signed.

 

I hereby confirm your legal obligation is clearly outlined in the legal letter you have received and acknowledged for which you are accountable in law. Our previous letter gave very specific information as to what was requested and explained that your duty to provide information in law extends beyond that requested.

We have knowledge that the dwp runs a a fully searchable audit trail process. Every keypress, every call. Please bear in mind that the absence of information requested wil be justified before a County Court. I have much experience of this and i can tell you, judges know all about sql queries and filter searches and they despise being treated as though ignorant and asked to believe you just have a big filing cabinet. We reserve the right to request details of every it system and source of data storage and the filter criteria used to demonstrate your willingness to fulfill your legal obligations outlined clearly in my letter.

 

I have to follow this all the way now as i feel i may be starved again at any time. Stopping peoples benefits is in effect a job creation scheme generating phone calls and work for people that could well be avoided. Some times when boxed in a corner the only defence is attack.

 

thanks

Hi micko19, I'm glad you finally got some money through. About time! To be fair, an MPs letter thumping onto a senior managers desk does indeed make the you know what hit the fan. Sounds like you have a decent MP.

Best wishes

Rae

yes, i have written and thanked my mp already, however it will have been a phone call not a letter. Also today they DWP miraculously confirmed that my 2 month fitness note was indeed that... WITH TOTALLY UNPROMPTED CALLS and offers to post further payments today. Reverse gear has truly been found...

I however reserve judgement on which if many, one or all the tactics worked and would advise anyone to use all routes. You may have an inconsiderate mp. I wil ltry to scan the dwp dpa letter on here so people can see how they squirm.

Hi Micko - very glad to see that you managed to get this sorted. It's just a damned shame you had to go through it in the first place.

I happened to see what you posted before it was removed and I have to say I thought it was inappropriate.

 

At the risk of sounding like one of our lovely site team [which I'm not clever enough to be], if CAG becomes involved in a libel action because of what one of us has posted, then we risk the site not being here to help when we need it.

 

This would be a shame for all the desperate people who arrive here every day asking us to help them.

PS Micko, sorry to interrupt, I'm pleased you're getting somewhere at last. HB x
