    • Thanks for the other info will also take a look at that.
    • It doesn't use the word reconstructed in the cover letter.  Although, I have just noticed on the cover letter they have asked me to complete a financial statement and offer a repayment within the next 10 days, or they will continue to follow court directions.  They sent a separate letter on the same day advising me they will be continuing with their claim ?  They have done the same for both claims.  Is it worth just doing that - doing the financial breakdown and offering a x amount.    
    • hahah except I can't locate the courier to frighten them with it hahaha   
    • Dx100uk according to the ICO office, who I spoke to at some length earlier today after getting the email from the court, Equita are the data controller if they have instructed the contracted EA. The ICO have noted the case, and stated very clearly that the court has the higher standing in terms of dealing with, and punishing either party if they fail to adhere to the district judges order and any action they take will not be criminal.    but they also stated very clearly that with what I’ve told them, and on the basis of accepting what I’ve told them as gospel (which it is with written confirmation from both the courts and the police) then there is some major red flags being raised on both sides with them blaming each other.    they’ve advised me to essentially keep my powder dry until there is a charging decision and an outcome from the seperate proceedings with the EAC2 complaint, and then come back to them with the case and they will be in a stronger position to act against Equita and the EA as there will be established facts and evidence that have already been laid before a court.     
    • urm.. i seem to recall another assault case whereby the approved bailiff company claimed the body camera was nor theirs but a pers one of the bailiff, i think they got in serious trouble for it. i believe that breaks certain gov't approval for a bailiff company/firm regulations/laws  if memory serves me right?

    • 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,

 

At the moment, there are the following seperate forums that are all very closely interlinked:

Employment

Disability

Benefits etc

 

Would it make sense to have a main forum area called "Employment/Equality/Benefits", with a disability subforum and a welfare rights subforum?

 

I think this would make good sense right now, if only because the Equality Act comes into force on 1st October, and since at the moment equality legislation postings are being made in all three forums, it would be useful to have all of the posts tied up together.

 

On a seperate note, if you look at my posting history, you'll notice that equality legislation is my particular specialty knowledge area. I'd like to prepare some sticky posts on the Equality Act as well, if this has site approval. Could someone from the site let me know?

I thnk that we can do that.

 

We would include NHS as well.

 

Can you list out for me what forums should be grouped

I would suggest, given CAGs new pattern of big groupings of having the main group called "Equality, Employment and Social Entitlement", and then have the following sub forums:

 

Welfare Benefits

Equality and Human Rights

Other Disability Issues

Health and Social Care

Other Employment

 

I understand that some posts may need reorganising to fit these groups, if you need help with this I'm happy to do so.

There you are, there's a start. I thought that Work and Social was a bit easier than your suggestion - although I'm not very happy with "Social" as it sounds like a good drink after knocking off from work. Got any ideas about that?

agree "social" on its own isn't really appropriate for the reasons you've given; I'd suggest "social entitlement", as above, for a couple of reasons; including mainly that, the Government (including DWP, Tribunals Service, Legal Aid and Community Legal Advice) use the term to encompass welfare benefit, social services, healthcare and equality issues, so the name is consistent.

It's just my personal opinion; if there's already a "brand" out there that seems to work, it makes sense to go with it; after all it's all about helping people to exercise their rights, I think it makes sense to have a consistent massge. I hope this makes sense!

They were ungrouped in order to display at the same level. The site retsructure isn't finished yet.

Since you are working on it are you going to stick with this nesting of subforums under a superfluous, ambiguous and utterly pointless subforum heading?

 

The Consumer Forums Non-Retai

 

>>>>>>>> Non-Retail subforums

 

General Consumer Issues

Insurance/Assurance Companies

Local Authority, Council Tax and Business Rates Issues

Residential and Commercial Lettings

Students

 

The red bit! It looks like a non functional title but it's actually a heading link. Just seams a bit pointless to add this extra level when;

 

1, I can now expand and collapse the whole section @ the main title (in blue)

2, it adds another level to drill down through to get to the last post information from all the subsection topics which I navigate by.

3, it's not obvious that it is a working link which actually does anything like bring up the info in 2 above

4, it makes the subforums headings for each section under this heading really small and hard to read (this is really bad especially in the banking section)

 

Now if you were nesting 2 or more subforum categories, followed by their individual subforums under a single major heading for structure I can see the validity of it. But since at present you are just using this as a title to state the obvious that these are the subforums under this title which we already know....

 

Do you get what I mean? I'd add pictures to demonstrate what I mean but since you delete them I can't be bothered :lol:
