    • The 3 pieces of mortar that fell on the same day, at the same time, were approx. 25-30cm long and weighed around ½-1 kilo each from a roof that is above the 2nd floor; they were by no means tiny pieces of mortar but large chunks falling from a rather great height. I believe the size and weight is enough to cause serious injury and if it falls on your head, I assume it could potentially be lethal if unlucky, but we don't wish to put that theory to test... We can't in good conscience let a contractor install a patio and a gazebo as it is in the exact spot where the mortar fell, nor do I think anyone would be willing to take the chance. Looking at the roof, there are multiple other remaining pieces from the same 'line' or 'row' of mortar that can potentially fall. The mortar is right underneath the slate tiles on the neighbour's roof and I don't know whether the tiles are also (becoming) lose due to the loss of the mortar. I was trying to upload a photo but it seems it's not allowed. The first contractor to work in our garden in preparation for the patio and gazebo is scheduled to start on 10th June, that leaves the neighbour 5 workdays to sort their roof which is unlikely, so it seems we will have to postpone our patio contractor without knowing when they can come back. We have already had extensive work done in the garden in preparation for the wedding reception and it will become very costly for us if we have to move the wedding reception to a venue (if we can even get one at this short notice) rather than have it at home which was our dream.
    • Is this sufficiant for a letter of claim  ? Letter Of Claim       Reference: Techzone Mobile Phones Samsung A71 Mobile Phone £140 Purchase date 29. 5. 24     I the claimant purchased a 2nd hand Samsung A71 mobile from Techzone Mobile Phone unit 10 of the indoor market at the Potteries shopping centre. Initially the phone worked well until I used the camera and found debris in the camera lens spoiling pictures making it not fit for purpose. I contacted the seller who offered a replacement which I initially accepted but later rejected and wanted a refund in full which the seller refused saying they Do Not give refund is unlawful and goes against the Consumer rights act 2015. Therefore I intend to issue proceedings against you in a county court without further notice unless you reimburse me the above amount in Full within 7 days from the date of this Letter     ------------------------------------------    I think its best if i hand him the letter as posting it might not get through so can claim expenses traveling up there ?   or would it be best to just post and get 'Signed for'  ?   Should i also put in the letter of claim interest added or leave that till the Particulars letter ?

    • Sorry to shatter your leftie dreams 🤣😂🤣😂     Donald Trump gets a SIX-POINT bump in approval after being found guilty on 34 counts according to snap Daily Mail poll: 'I think it was a waste of taxpayer money' WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK Teflon Don rides again, according to an exclusive poll for DailyMail.com which found that the guilty verdict in Manhattan... James Johnson, who conducted the poll, said Trump might be waking up as convicted felon but he was winning over the voters who matter.   Our snap poll of a representative sample of likely voters shows that for most Americans the trial has not changed their deep-set views of Trump,' he said.  'But amongst those who are open to changing their mind, people feel more positive by a margin of 6 points. That is outside of the margin of the error of the poll and we are saying that is significant. 'It extends to Independent voters too. Look at the explanations and it is clear why: people feel it was a politically motivated trial and view Trump as a "fighter" against what they see as injustice.

    • 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.

Ok here goes..........

 

I have racked up massive debts over the last year or so :-( it all began when my long term partner of 10 years walked out on me just before xmas last year (nice another story anyways) !!

 

At the moment the one I'm worried about or need the most advise right now on is Barclaycard ..

 

Now I'm the first to admit that whilst I was in my deep burying my head in the sand depression I stopped paying my barclay card and ignored all their letters and correspondence however I now feel ready to deal with these debts.

 

I received a default notice from Barclaycard on Friday and am now petrified and dont no what to do :-( please help

How old is this account and how much do you (allegedly) owe? Have you made any arrangements to repay them reduced amounts in the past or did you just stop? You say your partner left last Xmas... so I'm assuming this is when payments stopped.... how have they pursued you up until this point. Have they involved debt collectors?

 

Apologies for all the questions but it helps to get an overview of what's going on... :-)

No I actually only stopped paying this year maybe about 4 months ago. I allegedly owe £675 (on a £360 limit) Mercers persued it very briefly only a few letters and a handful of phone calls nothing too heavy. Barclays just send me statements and a couple of letters saying your account is overdue. Unfortunately I just stopped paying I haven't made no attempt at all to repay, I'm not proud of myself and hope it ain't too late

Ok... I'm assuming that the Default Notice has come from Mercers...? if I remember rightly, they're not supposd to do this and it's likely that there'll be a whack of unlawful charges added to the account since going to Mercers anyway.

 

In order to protect your interests, I'd be inclined to send a CCA request by rec. delivery to whoever sent you the DN as soon as you can.... you can find it in the template library. Are you familiar with what a CCA request is?

No the default notice was from Barclaycard I haven't heard from Mercers in a while tbh. I've done an i&e with £385 split between 9 creditors on £11000 unsecured debt- think barclay was bout £23 per month.

 

I've read a bit about cca but not familiar no?

Ok... the CCA request is a legal request for a true copy of the Consumer Credit Agreement relating to your account (Consumer Credit Act 1974). This will protect you from court action in case B/card are thinking about it because without one, they can't legally enforce the account through the courts. It's also cheap to do (£1 postal order and rec. delivery postage). If B/card cannot comply with your request and produce an enforceable Agreement then the account will remain in dispute and legally unenforceable; no matter who it might end up with.

 

If you suspect that the bulk of the alleged balance is made up of unlawful charges however, then you need to send a SAR to Barclaycard in order to work out any charges they may have added and deduct them from the balance they say is owed by you. The template for this is also in the library but it costs £10 to send and it also needs to go off by rec. delivery. Once you've received the information back from B/card and worked out the charges, you can then deduct them from the alleged outstanding balance, write to them, tell them what you've done and what you intend to pay towards any outstanding balance that remains. A SAR doesn't place an account in dispute though.... and since they have 40 days within which to comply.... there's no guarantee that they won't try and instigate legal action in the meantime. Having said that, you'll get notice of it through their solicitors first if this is their intention, so you'll still have time to send off a CCA request at that time (should it arise) if you prefer to do it that way.

Sorry do you think I should propose a repayment plan before cca? I just think there gonna tell me to p off for ignoring the debt :-(

 

No. They've sent you a DN.... just send the CCA to protect yourself and then follow it up with an SAR to re-claim charges. Both by rec. delivery.

Hi TakingControl,

 

BC are notoriously bad at helping customers when they need help !! So don't expect much from them, even though you are now trying to be pro-active with your debts.

 

Any of the Debt Advice providers should give you help arranging a pro-rata repayment plan with your creditors and their details are here - http://www.consumerwiki.co.uk/index.php/Debt:_Where_to_Get_Help

 

National Debtline would be my recommendation.

 

Send the CCA request as suggested above.

 

Keep all your a/c statements so you have details of penalty charges. These can be reclaimed in full with compound interest at the a/c's contractual rate. If you don't have all your statements for any time when you have been charged penalties, you can get them with an SAR request.

 

Re the "default notice", does it actually say it's a DN or have BC threatened to issue one if you fail to pay.

Could you scan a copy after hiding your personal details, then put it on Photobucket so we can see it. Post the PB link here so it can be viewed.

 

BC never sent out DN's and always left this to Mercers, who did them wrongly all the time.

 

Have you sent off the CCA request and the SAR (if necessary).
