      Advice and insight please

      By unclebulgaria67 · Posted

      It will be years before Banks would sell to a debt buyer.  Sometimes Banks will use external debt collectors to try to collect, but generally Banks don't take Court action.  So you could be looking at 3 to 6 years, before any dca owning debt looks to take any Court action. And it is not definite that this would happen. So no need to feel pressured at this stage. In the event you found yourself unemployed, you have time to engage with Banks to advise of your situation and ask for time to deal with the situation, find new employment. As long as you inform the Banks they will offer assistance they can. E.g offer payment holiday or accept reduced payment for period. What you should not do, is not contact the Banks and simply default on payments.

      Loose mortar from neighbours roof falling into our garden

      By Bazooka Boo · Posted

      I'd get back to them tomorrow, and explain the circumstances, that you have a wedding reception, and just appeal to their better nature. Hopefully they will be able to move sooner rather than later, especially if you go in in person and speak to them, and show them the issue.

      Loose mortar from neighbours roof falling into our garden

      By Milos · Posted

      The 3 pieces of mortar that fell on the same day, at the same time, were approx. 25-30cm long and weighed around ½-1 kilo each from a roof that is above the 2nd floor; they were by no means tiny pieces of mortar but large chunks falling from a rather great height. I believe the size and weight is enough to cause serious injury and if it falls on your head, I assume it could potentially be lethal if unlucky, but we don't wish to put that theory to test... We can't in good conscience let a contractor install a patio and a gazebo as it is in the exact spot where the mortar fell, nor do I think anyone would be willing to take the chance. Looking at the roof, there are multiple other remaining pieces from the same 'line' or 'row' of mortar that can potentially fall. The mortar is right underneath the slate tiles on the neighbour's roof and I don't know whether the tiles are also (becoming) lose due to the loss of the mortar. I was trying to upload a photo but it seems it's not allowed. The first contractor to work in our garden in preparation for the patio and gazebo is scheduled to start on 10th June, that leaves the neighbour 5 workdays to sort their roof which is unlikely, so it seems we will have to postpone our patio contractor without knowing when they can come back. We have already had extensive work done in the garden in preparation for the wedding reception and it will become very costly for us if we have to move the wedding reception to a venue (if we can even get one at this short notice) rather than have it at home which was our dream.

      Techzone Mobile Buxton Ltd (dissolved 2022!) - Bought a dodgy phone from their Market stall - says doesn't do refunds with a sign up!!

      By Plank37 · Posted

      Is this sufficiant for a letter of claim  ? Letter Of Claim       Reference: Techzone Mobile Phones Samsung A71 Mobile Phone £140 Purchase date 29. 5. 24     I the claimant purchased a 2nd hand Samsung A71 mobile from Techzone Mobile Phone unit 10 of the indoor market at the Potteries shopping centre. Initially the phone worked well until I used the camera and found debris in the camera lens spoiling pictures making it not fit for purpose. I contacted the seller who offered a replacement which I initially accepted but later rejected and wanted a refund in full which the seller refused saying they Do Not give refund is unlawful and goes against the Consumer rights act 2015. Therefore I intend to issue proceedings against you in a county court without further notice unless you reimburse me the above amount in Full within 7 days from the date of this Letter     ------------------------------------------    I think its best if i hand him the letter as posting it might not get through so can claim expenses traveling up there ?   or would it be best to just post and get 'Signed for'  ?   Should i also put in the letter of claim interest added or leave that till the Particulars letter ?

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

Hello,

I had my ATOS Medicial on 17/2/12 and it was all in favour of the doctor??? and his computer. I had no chance to state my case and illness. It was very unfair. He kept saying you are fine. I kept trying to give him the facts. Had even typed up a report on myself and my medicial history. He did not even look at it. Should wait for letter and see! I think I may goto Tribunal in the long term. Quite happy to wait for tribunal, if that is what it takes and take no money and live on savings while waiting. Cannot face going to Job Centre. I have depression etc. Good luck to you all.

Don't leave, this is EXACTLY what happens all the time, please fight it! Make sure you read everything here, and DO PLEASE APPEAL and go to Tribunal, this is what should get you through to a full ESA claim.

 

If you ask for review now, you will get your ESA reinstated at the assessment rate, and take it to appeal with the advice and help of the more knowledgeable people here. Hang on in there!

If you are claiming ESA, and you fail the ATOS medical, you can be paid while you are waiting for the tribunal to hear your appeal - you don't need to live off your savings.

Do you know how to go about getting that done? And do they HAVE to pay you whilst appealing?

 

Thanks.

Yes, they have to pay you if, and only if:

 

  • You attended a medical and failed on points
  • You have submitted a valid appeal on form GL24 or via a signed letter that clearly states it's an appeal
  • and you continue to submit sick notes

 

It can take a week or two for your payments to restart, but it should happen automatically. This applies to ESA only - other benefits may differ.

Had my medical and surprise I got no points so appealed and am now waiting for the Decision Maker.

 

Since sending in appeal and sick note, I got a letter on the 7th Feb, telling me they had received my appeal and it was now being sent to the Decision Maker.

 

I've decided to give it until after this weekend to see if my ESA starts up again.

 

Can't remember how long it took the last time I appealed. They must think you can live on fresh air.:-x

Hi Frank,

 

Your ESA should continue without a break, if they've received your Appeal form.

 

You should be paid at the Assessment Rate while appealing.

 

Are they still paying you your ESA?

Not had an ESA payment since the 24th of Jan.

 

I know it will be back dated, but you still have to live in the meanwhile.

You ask DWP to pay you at the assessment rate of ESA £67.50 per week, you will need to send in fit notes whilst awaiting your appeal. Hope this helps, and good luck.
