    • Their FAQs state - Cancellations and modifications If your booking has been cancelled, Booking.com refunds you immediately. The processing time may take 7 to 10 days and depends on your bank. If you have questions, contact your bank directly. I'm a regular Booking.com and AirBnB user.  The former have never cancelled.  The latter have and my money was refunded immediately (not that that helps you as we're not talking about AirBnB!) Best to check with your bank and see (a) if you did pay in advance and (b) if it has been refunded. Also, have you received a message from Booking.com officially stating the cancellation?
    • I'm not up to date with the Legal Aid rules but I'm not sure that many people qualify. HB
    • You question timescales a bit in thread - From my experience, defaulting everything and ignoring all non PAP letters, while making no payments: - 18 months to LOC - further 18 months to be at court Most are still silent 3 years in though!. If making token payments, court, if ever would be 4-5-6 years from now - Hope that helps. My debt is similar, I started it 2021 and wouldn't believe I'm already over half way through default period. You need to make the decisions but follow advice already given in this thread, and you will be fine. Best time to plant a tree was yesterday, second best time is today. Good luck BT  
    • ah ok honeybee, no harm intended - I'll do that, I wonder whether there's any benefit to be had by applying for legal Aid as opposed to NWNF, it's about 6 months since this incident took place, so time to get the ball rolling

    • 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.

sadly it is important that any letters that are wrote are the persons own work.

This was a great show, I was visited back in march 2006 by one of the companies shown. I had an a agreement to pay in full via switch on the phone on the 18th of the month, I took notes of who I spoke to and everything that was said. Then out of the blue the day before on the 17th bailifts turned up demanding the full amount with added fees. The 2 men were rude, bullies, they shouted and didnt give me and my husband time to think, we were in shock, they wore some kind of black uniform claiming the worked on behalf of the courts and not drakes. When I called drakes office on the home phone he said I was trying to undermind him and called the office on his mobile himself to speak to the person I had asked for, guess which one of us got spoken to first. I couldnt beleive the office had no record of my confirming I would pay with on 18th. I did pay the bailiff in full using a credit card from family member, after they removed several large items from my living room to the hall, no they didn't wait 20mins before picking it up and moving it nor did they put it back and no they didnt worry that my TV cabinate got broken, yes they added extra charges on as they had made the visit that day.

I was so angry at the time but didn't complain as I only had the details of the drakes office (I knew that there was no regulations for bailiffs) and as they had already lied to me once and sent the bailifts round a day early, I knew that they would not be interested in my complaint.

The show has brought it all back, I am upset with myself and very angry again at the way we were treated, I dread to think what would have happened if me or my husband had of been home alone.

When I am home alone I screan my call and ignor my door bell, after watching that show I am concerned to have my windos open.

The BBC program on Ballifs is a shame. The BBC are in the goverments pupets.

 

The idear of the program is to make the public cry out for regulation and new laws on ballifs.

 

so that the goverment can slip in new law for ballifs that they have planed for years

 

the new laws have allready gone trow

the white paper stage

the green paper stage

 

and are now a draft stage waiting for parlimentry time.

 

what the new laws will do is for the first time allow ballifs just to break you door down.

 

THE NEW LAWS WILL TAKE AWAY ALL THE RIGHTS YOU HAVE NOW AND JUST LET THE BALLIFS SMASH YOUR DOORS IN.

 

ITs all just one big con

DO NOT PLAY IN TO THE GOVERMENTS HANDS AND LET THEM CON YOU DEMAND THAT BALLIF LAWS STAY AS THEY ARE..

 

 

YOU ARE BEING CONES BUT THE GOVERMENT AND THE BBC THE GOVERMENT PROPERGANDAR CHANEL

 

if you dont belive me read the new bill that they are going to pass here

Concern over draft Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill proposals

September 2006

 

Alan Murdie, barrister and author of 'New powers of fines officers: a disturbing development', June 2006 Legal Action 32, writes:

The draft Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill proposes wide-ranging reforms to the structure and composition of tribunals, judicial appointments, the enforcement of tribunal awards and debt recovery, particularly as regards the law on the seizure of goods. Of particular concern are Schedules 11 and 12 of the bill, which envisage a radical overhaul of the law relating to the seizure of goods. The new regime would apply to all money judgments by the High Court and county court and sums recoverable before magistrates. All common law rules and restrictions on the right to levy against goods are to be abolished, and replaced with a statutory code to be contained in regulations made by the Lord Chancellor.

Distress for rent by a landlord at common law is also abolished. In future, all types of bailiff will be replaced by individuals appointed and approved as 'enforcement agents'. These agents will then be given seizure powers wider than any which have been permitted in England and Wales since the Middle Ages.

The draft bill envisages that when enforcing against the goods of a debtor, enforcement agents will be entitled:

  • to break into private dwellings under warrant;
  • to use force against occupiers;
  • to invite third parties on to premises; and
  • to seize money or goods found on premises, including pets.

The draft bill's approach marks a radical departure from the principles that underlaid the common law, which operated to prevent violence against individuals and premises to effect entry. Similarly, rules preventing the seizure of money and items in use prevented the ransacking of homes or breaches of the peace once entry was gained. Of particular concern are Sch 11 paras 24(2) and 31(5), where the Lord Chancellor may make regulations allowing enforcement agents a 'power to use force against persons' in respect of domestic dwellings and goods on the highway.

Enforcement agents will also be able to bring non-qualified assistants on to private premises. Under Sch 11 para 22(2), warrants may also require a police constable to assist an enforcement agent.

Explanatory notes to the bill maintain that its provisions engage both debtors' and creditors' rights, under the European Convention on Human Rights, to a fair trial (article 6), private life (article 8) and the protection of property (Protocol 1, article 1). However, much will be dependent on judicial interpretations of these rights. In practice, there are unlikely to be effective safeguards against abuse despite the optimism of closing paragraphs of the notes that 'sanctions' will exist against improper recovery action. Reforms to attachment of earnings orders, administration orders, and the establishment of debt management schemes are also outlined.

The draft Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill, Cm 6885 is available at: www.official-documents.co.uk/document/cm68/6885/6885.pdf and from TSO, £50.30. The closing date for representations on the bill is 22 September 2006.

I must have a proper read of this bill when I get a mo. I shall be asking my MP where he stands on supporting this or not.

 

Anyone else had a chance to read the bill yet? At first glance it would seem that some URGENT lobbying needs to take place!! :mad:

Hi guys, i'm getting angrier and angrier, taking pets indeed, I would do time for that believe me. Nobody has a right to take our 'babies'.

Anyway I am now suitably fired up to want to write to MP's etc etc, but i'm worried I might say the wrong thing, so if one of you lovely peeps would like to word a sample letter I will adjust it accordingly and send it off first class post a.s.a.p.

A massive thank you in anticipation.

They'd have to release all the murderers and serial rapists to make room for it first. John Reid certainly won't want to do that before his bid to become PM.
