    • Interesting question regarding what Government accounts opposition parties have access to, before an General Election. From what I understand, Government department accounts that are published are always lagging behind and would not include some amounts which are classified as 'commercially sensitive'.  Therefore opposition parties and Parliamentrary select committees would not have access to accounts which contain real time up to date information. If a new Government have found £20 billion of spending liabilities they did not know about, this could be true, as £20 billion is not that much when you look at total Government expenditure. Government department are making decisions on spending all of the time and it could be the previous Government were planning tax changes and/or spending cuts to balance the books.  Jeremy Hunt has recently said that if the Tories had stayed in Government and held an Autumn budget, it would have been very difficult to cut taxes as some had wanted.

    • ok your WS is wrong. Paragraph 16 and 17 says  you did not contract with evri but this is not true - see below  Furthermore to the eBay Powered By Packlink T&Cs that Evri is referring to, Clauses 3b and c of the T&Cs states:  (b)   Packlink is a package dispatch search engine that acts as an intermediary between its Users and Transport Agencies. Through the Website, Users can check the prices that different Transport Agencies offer for shipments and contract with the Transport Agency that best suits their needs on-line. (c)  Each User shall then enter into its own contract with the chosen Transport Agency. Packlink does not have any control over, and disclaims all liability that may arise in contracts between a User and a Transport Agency post 251 of occy thread - £844 lost    you should also add a paragraph on donough v Stevenson talking about the fact that even without contract there is still duty of care to goods and by failing to deliver this duty has been breached.   Make those changes and post it back up here and I'll check over things again

    • 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.

As i understand it the DSS will pay 100% of interest on a mortgage if you are claiming certain benefits- this takes about 9 months to kick in, then they will pay 50% of interest for 13 weeks and then all interest for as long as you areentitled to benefits.

 

Shelter have experts on this sort of situation and provide a free service - most areas have a drop in centre so I would direct her to them.

Hi Team

 

Your friend is in bad situation. The mortgage seems to be an Interest only one, which means that you are in effect paying rent only.There is'nt anything coming off the mortgage loan amount. Without a job you are tied and can't even change the mortgage. What needs to be looked into here is :

 

1. How much equity is in the home?

 

2. What are the Mortgage payments?

 

3. How do you intend to payback the Mortgage after the term?

 

4. How much to rent from a housing association?

 

If you can't pay this back, long term it may be beneficial to your friend to sell the house and pay off any debts with the proceeds.It maybe better to rent from a housing association than to get further into debt and possibly lose everything, including any equity. Once the sharks get going,there may not be much left.

Some people rely on inheritance to payback what they owe. Need a bit more information to be able to advise you more. Remember this is just advice, always seek legal help and do your research carefully.

 

Hope this helps

highly unlikel yshe would be offered a housing association place as they pick up from council lists - it may be an idea to look at shared housing options with a HA - but there is still the problem of no job.

As long as she isn't found intentionally homeless. Priority doesn't mean accommodation they will usually offer B&B or similar temporary accommodation for 6 months. Of cours if she sells and gets a private rental then HB should cover it - deposit etc could be covered from house proceeds.

Yes i agree..We need more information, renting privately or with shared ownership will probably be the only way.If it carries on like this, she will be broke and maybe lose the house and any equity left in it.

 

Prevention rather than cure as i see it

I believe the DSS only pay upto limits they set, as they are not covering the full payments my ex wife is making. she has a shortfall of about £120 a month they refuse to cover.

Not neccasarily true that they have set limits - there will be a reason why she has to make up shortfall - they will pay interest on mortgage after 39 weeks @ 50% and then after 52 weeks @ 100% - what is your wifes mortgage and how long has she been cliaming?

she has been claiming about 12 months now and her mortgage is interest only. They didnt start at 50% because she does claim benefits for mobility. But they only pay about 80% of the total payment. Maybe she should get back onto them again.

As far as the DSS goes, they will only pay to a certain amount. This is based on a maximum interest rate, so If you are on a non high street rate you already have a shortfall. Also if you have remortgaged they will only go up to the original amount of mortgage, They also only pay the interest part of your mortgage. They do not pay for the first 29 weeks unless you are claiming certain benifits (Not sure which ones apply). All in all it can be to little to late. What she could do, is look into a company they purchases the home then rents it back to her. The DSS will pay the rent. Some of these companies have written into the contract a clause that allows buyback at a preferential rate. I am not sure of all the ins and outs of these schemes but may be worth a look
