    • is the side street solely for access to your garages? who owns the land and thus the road? dx  
    • A local business has been parking on an off-street parking space in front of my garages (in a side street).  I wasn't using them for a while so didnt bother to do anything.  But now a second local business is also using the osp - taking it in turns with the 1st biz.  This has started to nark me.    The employees choose to drive to work.  There is no private parking in their business's street.  But there are some underground secure garages in their street - which cost apx £2.4k/y to rent - which works out apx £6.60/d. (I believe one of the biz owners already rent one for storage purposes).  If the employee had to park on a meter it would cost them £6.60/h - £66 for 10h and have to move every 4h.  They just don't want to pay for parking. I haven't confronted either of them.  Instead I just put 2 clear "no parking" signs in front of the garages. And a note on one of the cars specifically saying that as they don't live or rent in the street and it's private land could they stop parking.   They ignored that.  And just put notes on their dash with a # to call if one needs the car moved.  There is a sign and they've been told in writing to stop parking. And they are just ignoring it.    I don't what a confrontation.    I don't want to go to the expense of bollards (other than maybe traffic plastic ones - but they'll probs just move them).  Council won't do zilch cos it's private land. And police won't get involved - unless I clamp/ tow the cars and then they'd be after me, not the drivers!    What's the best thing to do?
    • yes might be the best idea. you'd only at best get 8% flat interest and that unusual on a GOGW if this was what it was. simply contact the FOS and let them know its resolved. dx  
    • If you’ve ever wondered how you might fare in armed combat, the first 20 minutes of Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan is likely to make you thank your lucky stars you were born too late to storm the Normandy beaches on June 6 1944. I suspect many of us might be driven to identify with those men who were absolutely turned to stone by fear. And yet these young men, mainly conscripts, screwed their courage to the sticking point and did the job the fate had chosen for them, heroes all.   .. UK PM Sunak perhaps thinks he understands mind numbing fear better than many as he dishonorably fled the beachhead to do nothing more than double down on dishonest spin and lies from the safety of a UK studio .. The Normandy heroes who not only held their positions, but advanced through hell to a victory that changed the entire course of history .. undoubtedly hold a different perspective.     from a perspective in TheConversation     ..

    • Yes, send a message to the purchaser but keep it very friendly and simply that you noticed that the package has now been delivered.  I suggest that you ask them if they want to keep the package still or if they would rather return it and that if they want to keep it then please will they return your payment to you to your PayPal address. Keep it as polite and friendly as possible and then we will decide what to do if he doesn't reply or refuses.  Meanwhile I will have a look at Google earth and see if you are able to spot the gas meter outside the house to get an idea if the delivery is real.

    • 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.

No as far as I know it's people that claim hb and ct that get took to court (I.e me)!!! You shd be ok I've not gone to ca coz a lot of people say they don't help!! Ur prob have to pay back wars owed coz uve admitted u done it but they won't take much off u so I really wouldn worry,

 

I've changed all mine over now so just waiting to hear back from council wat there deciding to do, I really didn't want to change it all but at same time didn't want to accur getting into any more trouble than wat I am esp coz he will still be coming and going and I won't be dictated to by them who I can or can't have in my house when he not even supporting me in that way. I may of made a situation look worse but like u I have admitted he comes and goes so I'm hoping that goes in my favour, but doubt it knowing my luck

they have just rang she asked why i hadnt stopped claiming as a single person i said that things just got out of hand and i kept putting it off and she said so you were doing it for the money? i then said yes because i couldnt say anything else really she said that my claim is now finished and that someone will be contacting me to try and get the money back and to decide what to do next have i got any savings? which i replied no she said paying off a lump sum might be helpful she doesnt know how far back they will go and couldnt tell me what was going to happen as it was alot of money then told me i could claim as a couple but if i tried to claim i was single it would flag up! and that was that all i can think now is that i shouldnt of told CAB it was 5 years as it looks like i am in serious trouble i know without fail i will be the one person who does get sent to prison as an example to others - i still havent told my partner or anyone else as i am so ashamed i am at my wits end

  • 2 weeks later...

Just thought I would give you all an update, rec'd my notice to pay which was £13,000 and have just phoned them, spoke to a really lovely lady who asked me how much could I afford to pay, told her at a push £50 per month, she then asked me for my income/expenditure which I had ready and after we went through it all she agreed with that amount and has set up a direct debit :):) I'm so happy its finally been sorted out, its like a weight of of my shoulders, I know its going to be a struggle but after all the stress and worry over the last few months I might actually get a nights sleep without waking up and the first thing I think of is the bloody tax credit office! Good luck to you all out there and I really hope you all get the outcome you want!! :) xx

Hi

they didnt ring me they just sent a letter. My letter to them was sent at end of March and they didn't reply to me until 11th April, but my initial investigation started on the 8th March! It might be taking a little while because everyone is renewing their tax credits and they are probably busy.

I know its easy for me to say try not to worry but like ECB49 i also owe £13,000 and its just great to know its nearly over, well except the repayment amount which i'm gonna dispute!
