    • 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.

Hello everyone. For the past 24 hours we've been rushed off our feet (feets?) sorting out all these little (and not so little problems).

 

A few people have asked if this is how the forums will stay, and the answer is pretty much yes. There will be lots of minor changes though - someone mentioned stickies not standing out from normal threads, and I completely agree. Quite a few people have mentioned font sizes too - hopefully they're ok now (I've increased them a little).

 

I'm aware of the navigation issues: jumping to last post, showing new posts, viewing user profiles, and these will be getting sorted out over the weekend. We're also getting reports of problems on hand-held devices - again we'll be sorting that out.

Thank you Webby, and I've noticed you online the entire day, and little bits changing every so often. Thank you for that.

 

Here are what I think most people have been concerned with :-

 

Need a "new posts" button

a "mark all forums read" button

Search facility to also include the old archive

Return of smileys to Quick Reply

If a smiley image is the last on a block of text, you cannot click or move the curser to the right of it.

No spellcheck in "edit post"

Maybe a diferent colour scheme or choice of colour scheme in preferences (notice Bo the English spelling of colour:p)

And just for Bo, return of the old smiley images :lol:

Oh, and please please please can we have the "edit" button back for more than a few minutes?

 

I know the human side of it is not your problem, my darling man, but for anyone reading this, next time, a prominent warning (like we used to!) about downtime and forthcoming changes would save people from fluttering hearts and panic attacks. It would be nicer for us, and it would save a lot of time in the long run, instead of threads all over the place, reporting the changes, people leaving, loss of confidence. And quite simply, just a bit more caring. ;-) :-):razz:

Can anyone tell me how to get to "posts started by" please?

 

 

We can't :eek: but hopefully webby will think it important enough to change (as well as previous posts by everyone)

 

And searches for posts by a specific user comes up with "no results" - aaarrrggghhhhhh (;)

Hi all,

 

Just wanted to say thank you for having this forum in the first place. My family and I were in a horrid place a couple of years ago but have since managed to turn alot of stuff around. Taking on board each and every comment, just increases the challenge somewhat! And like Webby says, this is here to stay... and for that I will be truly grateful.
