    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the 02/01/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the 19/05/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, 02/06/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

    • 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.

You are right, I am so lucky!! I will count my blessing in church on Sunday.

 

Its about protecting myself and my family, in the hight of a recession. Are you kidding me! I didnt see the solicitors offering to pay my bills or put food on the table. Its about survival and using the system to my advantage. I do think I am right, all payments made under "ex gracia" are tax free upto 35K apart from the obvious statutory payments laid down by the Goverment, I think its 1 weeks salary for every year worked. This is taxable and cannot be avoided. But leave, notice pay and exceptional payments can be thrown in.

 

I consider myself a savvy person and used the system to my advantage rather than having to claim from it.

 

Like I mentioned, check it out and speak to a solicitor, wouldnt want you to break the law now.

For all your bluster you have still not explained why the solicitor was concerned & NO lawyer worth his salt will take part in a clients deceit if that deceit is illegal

 

AS for money laundering 14 years IS the maximum sentence

I never called anyone names. Just pointing out the obvious God complex of another.

 

Anyhow, hope you get everything you can from your ex-employer and my bit of advice may be of help.

I suppose it boils down to, on the one hand, how strong you feel you case is (and remembering your policy of 'If it ain't wriiten down it didn't happen' it's probably pretty solid).

 

Or, on the other hand, whether you'd like to avoid the drawn out hassle of a Tribunal case.

 

If the latter you could maybe ask whether the earlier offer is still on the table.

I want to avoid the ET route if at all possible. I think it's a strong case, but discrimination cases are never easy. Probably have to resign and claim CD too.

AH! hang on, he's just emailed me again, I'll be back....

So, received another email from the director. He's now accepting the amount I requested, which he initially rejected.

I'd stated that I wouldn't move out of the staff accomodation I'm occupying until I had received the settlement. He's insisting that I won't get the money until I move out. So that's the only sticking point. What does everyone think?

I'm sure that if we finalise the agreement and then they don't pay up, that I could soon pursue them for the money, but do you think I should insist that I get the money before I go anywhere?

The only other point, that I've asked for him to clarify, is will it be deemed that I've resigned, or that I was made redundant?

Been reading these boards with interest, so I thought I would sign up and chip in :)

 

I did a compromise agreement with my employer, although it was ten years ago now.

 

I went to the lawyers office, met my ex director there, and we signed the paperwork together and handed over the cheque at that point. Although accommodation wasnt the issue in my case, so I couldnt be certain, I would think this would be the point you hand your accomodation keys back? Would make sense, that way you can draw a line under it.

 

I did negotiate quite well I think, and they did agree to note it as a voluntary redundancy...(I wanted out, it was not a pleasant environment, to say the least, although I had worked there for many years, including internationally)

 

Good luck!

Redundancy is infinitely better than resignation or worse and should provoke few questions, although I think Elpulpo said he has another job to go to. Pulpo, it's worth bearing in mind a reference if you haven't already mentioned this. Sorry, long day, long lunch.

Your average CA [or equivalent] would include what would be said on any future reference wouldn't it, if I've read the forum right since I've been here? I have to say, your people have a unique way of negotiating and I admire how you're dealing with it.

Something else to think about, Pulpo.

 

Also, OH says if you really don't trust them with a cheque, would they do a bank transfer? I realise that could be asking too much, just a thought.

As you've got another job lined up I don't suppose that it matters too much whether your CV says resignation or redundancy.

If you can get the other matters sorted I'd bite his hand off and not stop chewing until you reach the elbow.

So, the director has just emailed me and confirmed the net money I will receive, that the EDT can be tomorrow and that they can state that I was made redundant. He suggested that I write a reference for myself, which he would then accept or amend. No mention of the next step, my seeking independant legal advice etc.

I've emailed him back accepting, with a proposed reference. (glowing)

I've never been in this situation before, and it just doesn't feel right - like I'm walking into a trap somehow. I just keep having to assure myself that if they're being underhand then it will backfire on them.

Still got until early October to file an ET1 if it goes pear shaped.
