    • You need to choose between ET and small claims, you cannot do both. For straightforward wages I'd go small claims. Faster and less messing about. Advice here Employment claims in the civil courts - Working Families WORKINGFAMILIES.ORG.UK Some types of employment-related claims can be brought in the civil courts, rather than in an Employment Tribunal. This advice page offers a high level...  
    • The garages are used - just car currently being fixed.  I have no need of what they offer.  It is conscious trespass - and the law allows. Which is frustrating.  It's just v annoying that they do this. Isn't there a law that someone cannot prevent access to a public highway from private land?
    • The problem with sending it too early is that Jake might try to write something called a Supplemental Witness Statement to undermine yours.  It would be better to send yours right on the court's deadline. The problem is that we don't know when that is.  In 90% of cases it's 14 days before the court's deadline, so 21/06.  However, in the odd case the judge decides differently.  
    • Signs and notes on windscreens wouldn't deter me either. after all. it's private land and very little deterrent to stop drivers from abusing it. A physical barrier, IMHO is the only way you will stop them abusing it.....or, depending on what businesses they are, why not rent out your garage to them, ask them for a staff discount if you purchase anything from them? Whilst it is irksome, how much money have you got to throw at it, and is it really that important in your life? If you were using your garage, different story.
    • Still worried about time order - they have not followed procedures. Looking through lists there are some items not been sent, incorrect leaflets sent.  emails sent and we’ve not received. Texts and emails sent and not completed process. Pages worth.  The worst thing is the phone calls. Not got more than 8 minutes of most.  it’s so unfair.  Have sent them emails offering to pay right back to March. All arrears were paid back.  2 payments since.    what other info do you require from me ?

    • 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.

think i might go to my local carcraft to warn people away from them

 

find out how they can [EDIT] people like they do and sleep at night

 

and question them about my agreement and how there going to fix it

 

humm..

 

I think you will be interfering with the course of their business, I think it would be aggravated trespass! Which means they could call the police and remove you, I think I am right on this.

ARTICLE 10

 

FREEDOMOF EXPRESSION human rights act

you have the right to hold opinions and express your views on

your own or in a group. This applies even if they are unpopular

 

or disturbing. This right can only be restricted in specified

 

circumstances.

 

as long as the demonstration is conducted in a peaceful way, that is not stopping or intimidating staff by vocal or gesture, and is done off their premisis, then you should be ok

 

in other words

 

walk outside with a banner and remain silent

 

trespass is not a criminal offence, it is civil

 

it becomes criminal when criminal laws are broken.

 

an example of this would be to shout scab on a picket line or verbally insult someone

(breach of the peace)

In May 1989 I bought a brand new Nissan 200SX.

 

By the end of July I'd done 8000 miles and the steering wheel wobbled when you braked. The discs were warped.

 

I booked it in to be done (under warranty) to be told 'there are none in the country, sorry': this was tuesday.

 

On the wednesday I was told the service manager would ring me about it... he didn't and I really HATE that.

 

So on the thursday I told them I was going to park on the road outside their showroom all day long with a big placard saying 'don't buy one of these... no spare parts available'... they told me I couldn't.

 

So I did it. They came out, called the police, asked me to move, said I was slandering them etc.

 

To which I pointed out that I was not obliged to move as I was on a public highway without any parking restrictions, and that as far as slandering them went, would they like to point out in what way my sign was untrue? As if it was I woud gladly rewrite it so it was not?

 

10 minutes later they came out and said to bring it in on the mnoday for the new discs to be fitted FOC... so there WERE some in the country after all.

 

If you've got the bottle to do it (some company helps) then DO IT... but park where yuo are allowoed to , stick to your guns and BE TRUTHFUL about your case... and keep it calm and peaceful, let them do the shouting. This way you come across as the reasonable one when the trouble starts.

 

If you do this there's very little they can do to stop you.

 

Good luck

  • 2 weeks later...

I brought a car from carcraft 3/11/2011 vauxhall insignia estate, got the car home and throughout the first week had a lot of noise coming from the brakes. Took the car in to carcraft west midlands in December where the mechanic told my partner that the car is dangerous and unsafe.

 

So carcraft sold me an unsafe vehicle breaching the agreement. Also after going through the figures it looks like carcraft have lied to the finance company about the amount of deposit I paid. Today I have emailed carcraft and I am awaiting there reply, I have the financial Ombudsman working on this also as they are contacting Barclays partner finance. I have an unsafe car and a finance agreement based on a lie. Lots more issues with the car but these are the main issues. Hope to hear from them soon
