    • That explains it then. MET's fantasy is that it's a pay car park.  You're only let off paying if you are a Starbucks customer which you can't be when Starbucks is closed.  'Cos otherwise lots of people would abuse the car park facilities on the far edge of the Stansted Airport area in the middle of nowhere to ... admire the bushes?  Look at the cloudy sky? The important thing is that we have around 140 cases for this site, and MET have only tried court seven times.  Even then, they had no intention of getting as far as a hearing, they were attempting to intimidate the motorists into paying, when the Caggers defended the cases MET discontinued.
    • She's an only child and he as a brother and sister. He has no will and we have done a check on this to find out if he had left one and nothing has come up. He has savings of around 28k His sister and brother are well off so 28k is nothing to them and aren't interested in his money. This just leaves my wife/his daughter. Would this still need to go to probate there is no estate e.g house or business to sell and the amount left in his bank is just small? When his wife died they just closed her bank account and moved her money across to his account and we just assumed that once my wife has handed in the death certificate and shown evidence of who she is the same would apply to her? We don't know yet the council have only just written to us today with a guide of what to do next.  
    • Did your FiL leave a Will and if so who is the Executor? Strictly speaking banks could refuse to take instructions until Probate is granted but In practice I would expect the bank to take instructions to cancel the DD if the Executor presents the death certificate and a certified copy of the Will
    • Hi   Sorry I probably wasn't clear enough. He had lived in the flat until December 2022 with Dementia by this time it was unsafe for him to have capacity to live on his own and he had to move into a nursing home. We had left it too late to apply for power of attorney so approached a solicitor in March last year for Deputyship. We were still in the process of dealing with it by May 2024. He passed away a few weeks ago and the solicitor was contacted to halt the application and we will just pay the fees of what work he has done up until now. My wife was the named person on her dads bank account but we didn't have the ability to alter any direct debits hence the reasons for applying for Deputyship as we were having problems trying to stop some payments coming out of his account Eon being another difficult company. We kept his flat on from December 2022 - August 2023. it was at this point I contacted Sancutary housing to inform them he was no longer living in the flat, it had been cleared out and was ready for a new tenant and that he had Dementia and had moved into a nursing home December 2022 and explained the reasons why we kept it on. As the named person to speak on his behalf I asked them what proof they needed in order to give notice on the flat e.g proof of dementia and proof that he was living in a nursing home and anything else they wanted. The lady in the upstairs flat and some of the other residence in the street had asked about him and we had told them he had moved into a nursing home. The lady in the upstairs flat wanted his flat for medical reasons so asked us once we had given notice could be let her know and she'll ask them if she can have it. We explained the difficulties and it was left at that but I did tell her I would let her know once notice was given. I contacted the company by email a number of times and also telephone conversations and nobody followed it up and it wasn't till the end of February this year that the housing manager for the area wrote to our home address to ask about him that he had been to the flat a couple of times and nobody answered and he had asked some of the residence in the street and they hadn't seen him for sometime. There was an email address on the letter so I contacted him and copied in the last 2 emails I sent Sanctuary regarding me wanting to give notice on the flat for at least 9 months explaining that it went ignored as well as telephone calls. I also stated I wanted to have his rent payments returned from the date I wanted to give notice which was from August 2023 as the bank wouldn't let us stop the DD without POT or deputyship explaining we were in the process of Deputyship. He gave some excuse about not having POT to cancel on his behalf and spoke to someone in HR and said he would contact the nursing home to confirm he was there with Dementia and if it all checks out we can give notice on the flat which came to an end on the 22 March 2024. There was not mention of back payments for the rent already paid or the fact I had asked to give notice in August 2023. Despite someone living in the flat from 1st April they continue to take DD payments for the flat and have taken another 2 payments of £501. another concerning thing despite Eon not allowing us to cancel the DD to his account the lady upstairs informed Eon that she was moving into the flat February 2024 and Eon refunding the account to his bank and said in an email sorry you are leaving us and canceled his account. Something they wouldn't let us do but a stranger. She also changed her bank account to his address despite the fact notice hadn't been given on the flat yet. So we need to find out how much information Sanctuary actually had for her to tell her power company she was moving into the flat in February despite the housing manager only just getting in contact to find out where he was. So a complaint is going into Eon and Sanctuary and we are going to take advice and ask the bank to charge back the rent. My wife hasn't taken the death certificate to the bank yet to inform them of his passing.

    • 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.

Just to let people know I am safe indoors, was out at Tooting Broadway earlier with some friends and the message came through that the pub was closing earlier, jumped on the bus and headed home. Loads of young hanging about in the bottom of the town and round the two shopping centres in town.

 

Croydon nearby has been torched, as has a small shopping centre in nearby Colliers Wood.

 

Will report back if anything happens. I am not far from the local High Street so I might decamp and go round my dads, he is in the next street but far enough away from the smoke and flames.

 

Hope nobody else is going through this complete disorder and sheer vandalism.

They are all taking advantage of the situation having seen on the news the **** walking home with electricals stolen from Currys. If they can do it then so can we. No matter what anyone says, this has nothing whatsoever to do with anyone getting shot.

Heard the owners of that family firm from croydon whose business was on fire for hours it seemed, they were on point of tears on the radio. Owner said he saw youths in the building struggling to take furniture and as they were bulky items decided to torch the place instead. So so sad :(

 

 

Makes you wonder if london will be fit for the olympics next year or at least it will be hard to act the happy capital when only a year prior they are happy to torch at will. :(

Glad you're ok SG.

 

Some trouble in Birmingham earlier and many, many reports that it had reached the retail park near me - thankfully they were false, quite a large police presence there but nothing else.

 

I just cannot get my head around it.

I knew the shop in Croydon well, its a wicked sham what these mindless morons have done. They do not seem to be able (or capable) of thinking of anything but their own gratification. Going to the GP this morning and will see what damage has been done in town. There were lots of rumors going around last night of what had been set on fire but didn't see any....

 

I think there might be a complete curfew imposed across the country over the weekend.

Glad you are ok SG x. I have to agree with previous posters, IMO this is the result of a generation growing up thinking the world owes them, they should have what they want when they want it, not have to earn or work for anything, and that there actions are not punished because to punish them would infrige their rights. **** are breeding left right and centre, not looking after their offspring and not teaching morals and right and wrong, and teachers police other people who should discipline if parents won't can't. This is the result of Political correctness gone mad (IMO). It's about time this government grew a backbone. I am so angry seeing all the devestation this morning, and all the scummy looters, some not much older than sperm cells. I am not affected but feel for all that are. Take care xxx

It's spread here to Liverpool (nothing new there I hear you say). I haven't had any trouble as it is in the south of the city (were the Toxteth riots happened).

Why the mindless violence? I don't know. If it was to do with the Government cuts, I could understand.

As for businesses being trashed and set on fire, I am positive they all have adequate insurance and will probably come off better for it.

The thing I think is most wrong is they have been going into shops while the owners and workers are still there. They are threatening them for

cash and goods. It was also on Sky News this morning that some went and forced entry into a ladies house while she was in bed. That may be a seperate

incident I suppose, but it is so so wrong.

 

Castrate them all!!!!!! Send in the army on a shoot to kill basis. After a couple get shot, the rest will get the message and soon bugger off home.

 

 

If all else fails, kick them where it hurts and SOD'EM;)

What people forget about insurance is that although the insurance companies have the money, it's the rest of us who pay for it in increased premiums.

 

This has nothing to do with cuts IMO, although they could have an impact if we don't have the resources like police and army to deal with it. All this started because of a man being shot by police, but this is mindless violence and opportunism to get expensive goods. To hell with the consequences.

 

As for the parents - some of them were never disciplined themselves, so if they don't know how to behave what chance that their offspring and future generations will learn.

 

How long before someone is killed?
