    • Even a Piers Morgan is an improvement and a gutless Farage Piers Morgan calls for second Brexit referendum WWW.THELONDONECONOMIC.COM Piers Morgan and Nigel Farage have faced off over Brexit and a second referendum in a heated reunion on BBC Question Time.   “Why don’t we have another referendum about Brexit?” he questioned. “I seem to remember when 2016 came around we were told there was going to be control of our borders and it was going to be economically beneficial to this country. And eight years later we have lost complete control of our borders… and economically it seems to have been a wilful act of self-harm.”   ... Piers missed off : after all somebody said a 48/52 decision would be "unfinished business" by a long way - was that person just bul lying (again)  
    • when did they (who) inform you there was a 'police case' and when was this attained? i will guess the debt is now SB'd as it's UAE 15yrs. have you informed the bsnk ever by email/letter of your correct and current address? you can always ignore anyone else accept the bank,  Block and bounce back all emails. Block any text messages  Ignore any letters unless it's: - a Statutory Demand - a Letter Of Claim - a Court Claimform via Northants bulk.  
    • I left Dubai 8 years ago and intended to return. However a job prospect fell through. I’d been there for 15 years. I decided to pay my credit card and the bank had frozen my account. There is no means to pay the CC so completely unable to pay when I wanted to other than the bank advising me to ask a friend in the UAE to pay it on my behalf!  fast forward bank informs there is a police case against me for non payment. Years later IDR chased me and after months/ years they stopped. Now Judge & Priestley are trying their luck. Now I have received an email in English and Arabic from JP saying the bank has authorised them to collect debts. Is this the same as IDR although I didn’t receive anything like this from them. Just says they are authorised?
    • The neighbour's house is built right on the boundary so the side of their house is effectively the 'wall' in our garden separating the two properties. It's a three storey house and so the mortar poses a potential danger to us. Because of the danger, we have put up an interior fence in our garden to ensure we don't risk mortar dropping on us. That reduces the garden by 25% which is not only an inconvenience, but it's the part of the garden where we had lined up contractors to install a patio and gazebo which we will use for our wedding reception in less than 2 months. We have spoken to the neighbour's caretaker who is on the case, has spoken with a roofer and possibly a scaffolding company, but there are several issues. They don't seem to understand the urgency. As long as there is a risk of falling mortar, we can't carry out any work in the garden, and unless they hurry up, we're looking at cancelling our wedding as it's not viable to book a venue because we can't use our own garden! Also, they want to put the scaffolding up in our garden which would be ok with us if it was a matter of a few days and they hurried up, but there is a tree (most likely protected by the conservation area), so most likely they can only reach part of the roof with the scaffolding if they put it up in our garden. We suggested a roofer with a cherry picker but they seem to want to use a company they've used before. Any and all comments, suggestions, advice is more than welcome.  PS. does it make any difference that the neighbour is a business (ltd) and not a private dwelling?

    • 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.

Seconded. I was banned 4 times and had other posts censored. Quite honestly it isn't worth the effort of trying to debate on there since as soon as you start scoring points by hitting some vulnerable spots they ask the moderator to ban you.

Best to let them fossilise quietly.

Feels great knowing I won't be stepping into one of their offices for a while, or hopefully ever again.

 

Don't forget to send them a letter stating that you do not consent to any further communication in any form and any telephone calls will be reported as harassment. Neither the provider or the DWP need to know why your JSA claim ceases nor is there any legal requirement to provide employer's details.

Neither the provider or the DWP need to know why your JSA claim ceases nor is there any legal requirement to provide employer's details.

According to a Work Programme Memo #WP134 "Clarification Regarding the Need for Claimant Consent" (dated October 10 2013) accessible via

 

We wish to improve delivery of our interventions by making explicit the ability to share data between employers, providers and the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) without the need for claimant consent.

A designation order was applied for and granted in July 2013 giving Providers the legal authority to contact employers without first obtaining the claimants permission.

Guidance was amended last week removing the reference to claimant consent.

This memo is to confirm the current position on claimant consent and advise you of next steps.

 

Summary and action

Clarification has now been received that you do not need to obtain claimant consent to contact employers for legacy benefit claimants or universal credit claimants.

However, for those claimants on the new style ESA / JSA contributory benefits we are still progressing the necessary legal permissions. For these participants you will still need to explicitly gain consent to contact employers.

It is expected that this legislation will be in place for all claimants in the next couple of weeks.

We will issue further guidance once this is in place.

 

I am not sure whether this is an attempt by the DWP to use slight of hand, and to suggest to WP Providers that they can ignore the need for Claimant Consent in order to contact employers without first of all establishing a legitimate legal basis for doing so.

There has been a loophole in place for a long while - The DWP are the data controllers in respect to any personal information held about a claimant and the WP Providers are the data processors. On that basis, any data held by the DWP could be passed on to the WP Provider and contacting an employer could be construed part of the requirements to process that data. Put another way, good reason for not telling the DWP who you work for when signing off.

 

 

In recent years, I have become more proactive in protecting my personal data and refusing consent to share at all levels.

Although, as you correctly cite, the DWP are Data Controllers, and may distribute any personal data to any authorised party (such as Welfare To Work organisations) without securing permission or authorisation from the candidate to do so, this is reflective of Data Protection Legislation and any loopholes are unlikely to be dispensed with on the whim of George Iain Duncan Smith (for example) signing any mere Designation Order....if (for example) Public Interest Lawyers (or similar) have not seen this yet, then the chances are that when they do, a case will be brought for a Judicial Review into the issue.

 

But, irrespective, and as you suggest, the best option is for a candidate to invoke due diligence, and refuse consent to share personal data whenever coming into contact with officialdom.

I guess someone will come up with the post post work pogrom support. This will probably consist of 24x7 UJM jobsearch whilst being flayed with a cat o nine tails and being forced to chant "it's all my fault" and "IDS is God".

It's this constant kicking and demonisation of the unemployed that bothers me yet companies like Ingeus seem to get a free pass to milk the system more then any jobseeker could

Which jobseeker could earn as much as Ingeus etc for [pejorative terms edited]?

There was once a time when if you had mental health problems, members of the family would hide you away due to the social stigma. Today the same stigma is being attached to the unemployed no matter what the circumstances it appears that we never socially evolve to see through to the big picture because its easier to blame a small group for the problems of the whole.

It's called the Help to Work scheme and it's more of the same for ever I'm afraid!

 

You'll either be on 6 months forced labour, daily signing or 9-5 daily at the Jobcentre or provider's premises job searching.

 

Live it up while you still can!

Passed from pillar to post. I am not about to do too much moaning.

 

I would recommend in trying to decide what you really want to do job wise and then ask the Work Advisor how to go about doing it.

 

However, the current set up makes this difficult because they already have a prescription. It takes a bit of time to formulate your own plan. If you have NOT got your own plan, you have to accept the one given to you.

 

I scan ANY in the job search and see of there is anything I fancy. Not much.

 

So what it needs for people who cannot make up their mind is some sort of psychological testing of what you are best at and a job you would be happy in. Aptitudes might be the same as ability though.

 

I decided to try Career Guidance and I did not bother telling the Work Advisor.

 

I wish I was young again. Many people do not have any idea of what they want to do. Others do not know how to go about doing it.

 

I do have empathy with people with reduced capacities (used to be called invalidity and then changed to the better name of incapacity). Also, I know ESA pays better than JSA.

 

I think the Doctors are meant to be able to give "Fit for Work" certificates with riders on limited capacity. However, mine would NOT co-operate as it was out of his job specification.

 

I am not quite sure what the issue is in this case. Maybe, the Doctor felt that he would be liable to be sued if he gave a "Fit to Work" notice and the employee had a worsening of his condition caused by the demands of the job ??? Like dying or something even more horrid.

Is there a thread for Post Work Programme Support? I have to attend the job centre very regularly - every day or every other day, it seems.

 

They want me to bring 3 months of recent bank statements. How recent do they have to be? I may need go order reprints which I think I would be charged for… eek

 

I've shared bank statements with the local council before, but never the job centre.

(They also want to see my passport and tenancy agreement.)
