    • Probably to do with the Creditor accepting the reduced payments claim as part of the IVA. - Thats my guess anyway.  As for the mount outstanding... 60k is incredible and im pretty sure a DRO wouldnt cover that much even after the new legislation.    For you @Alfy - Please stay headstrong and stop worrying. My viewpoint on debt with debt collectors is simple. You are a figure on a spreadsheet loaded into a database for them to run a collection cycle through.  They dont care about emotions or your situation, they just care about paying off their shareholders and trying to turn a profit.  They use varying tactics to increase the pressure on you to the point where you will break. People then fall for this an either cave in to DCAs before doing their own due diligence on the debts that are purchased or turn to IVAs like you have.    They are better ways to handle this and Im glad you feel better after a good nights sleep - I hope you can keep it up. 
    • Good afternoon,    I am writing in reference to the retail dispute number ****, between myself and Newton Autos concerning the sale of a Toyota Avensis which has been found to have serious mechanical faults.    As explained previously the car was found to be faulty just six days after purchase. The car had numerous fault codes that appeared on the dash board and went into limp mode. This required assistance from the AA and this evidence has already been provided. The car continues to exhibit these faults and has been diagnosed as having faults with the fuel injectors which will require major mechanical investigation and repairs.    Newton Autos did not make me aware of any faults upon purchase of the vehicle and sold it as being in good condition.    Newton Autos have also refused to honour their responsibilities under The Consumer Rights Act 2015 which requires them to refund the customer if the goods are found to be faulty and not fit for purpose within 30 days of purchase.    Newton Autos also refused to accept my rejection of the vehicle and refused to refund the car and accept the return of the vehicle.    It is clear to me that the car is not fit for purpose as these mechanical faults occurred so soon after purchase and have been shown to be present by both the AA and an independent mechanic.   Kind regards
    • Commercial Landlords are legally allowed to sue for early cancellation of the lease. You can only surrender your lease if your landlord agrees to your doing so. They are under no obligation even to consider your request and are entitled to refuse. You cannot use this as an excuse not to pay your rent. Your landlord is most likely to agree to your surrendering the lease if they want the property back in order to redevelop it, or if they wants to rent it to what they regards as a better tenant or at a higher rent. There are two types of surrender: Express surrender in writing. This is a written document which sets out the terms of the surrender. Implied surrender by conduct. (applies to your position) You can move out of the property you leased, simply hand your keys back and the lease will come to an end, but only if the landlord agrees to accept your surrender. Many tenants have thought they can simply post the keys through the landlord's letter box and the lease is ended. This is not true and without a document from the landlord, not only do you not know if the landlord has accepted the surrender, you also do not know on what basis they have accepted and could find they sue you for rent arrears, service charge arrears, damage to the property and compensation for your attempt to leave the property without the landlord's agreement. Unless you are absolutely certain that the landlord is agreeable to your departure, you should not attempt to imply a surrender by relying on your and the landlord's conduct.  
    • I had to deal with these last year worst DCA I have ever dealt with. Just wait for the constant threats of CCJ and how you'll lose in court and how they won't do mediation and they want the judge to question you with a load of "BIG" words to boot with the letter. My case was struck out in the end, stupidity on their part as I admitted to owing the debt in the end going through the court process was just a formality as they wouldn't let it drop despite me admitting the debt regardless. They didn't send the last part of the court paper work in so it ended up being struck out     .
    • Well, that's it then. Clear proof of the rubbish cameras. Clear proof of double dipping. G24 won't be getting a penny. Belt & braces, I would write to the address LFI has found, include the evidence of double dipping, and ask Fraser Group to call their dogs off.

    • 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.

It's probably more embarassing than smoking - but it's more visible - and could kill you more quickly.

I need to loose some weight but my thyroid is on the blink, until it is sorted I am double stuffed - however I am up for a challenge of loosing at least 1 stone if not 2 by June.

 

Got an exercise DVD for the PS3 in Game the other day - realised I had £15 on their loyalty card so spent it before it got swallowed up in their administration - wise decision. Also got a hula hoop and an exercise ball (just need to find where I put the pump for that) so got the gear.

 

Also found myself a training partner, somebody in my flats is doing a sports science course and needs a pupil, so I offered my body to them - they are delighted as they can guide me through an appropriate start up routine, increase as needed and take into account my arthritis and dodgy neck problems. (I have a compressed disc in my neck which makes some exercise - especially yoga - nigh on impossible).

 

I can keep my progress posted on this thread.

I am not working - been unemployed for a year now. I've not been well lately but getting better now.

 

Found a 10 minute 'Tums and Bums' book yesterday I didn't know I had and a DVD which goes with the exercise ball, just need to get a mat now (found one in the local Works shop at a reasonable price so will get that today). I've also got a running machine in the garage I can use, its a mechanical one, bit old but works quite well.

 

There is also a local drop-in Zumba class a few minutes walk from here on a Monday so I can see what that is like - according to a nephew who works at a sports club Zumba is very good all round exercise.

Jogging/moderate cycling ( 9-14 mph, with a few light hills thrown in), or if you have access to one, a few 6 min intervals on a rowing machine. Pref 6 mins on at 5-8 intensity, 60-90 secs break, then back on for another 6. Repeat twice, or more if you feel you can manage it without getting too tired.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Wow you really are in good shape now. I've done weight training before but I gave because instead of losing I am gaining pounds. Some say it is just the muscle weight. So do I have to do it again?

 

Thats normally exactly what it is. You'll start to lose a few pounds, but you'll plateau or increase your weight over time. People get depressed by this, but what they dont realise is even though theyre not losing weight, they're actually burning body fat. After all, that is the end goal really. To get rid of the fat.

 

If you wanted to lose weight and not gain muscle, then a low cal diet, coupled with moderate cardio workouts work rally well.

Just dont go too low or you wont see any benefits. You need a well rounded diet, but say 500 or so cals less than recommended.

 

Doing this for a week only will make you lose 1lb in weight. Couple it with 45 mins-1 hr at the gym 3 times a week, and it's 2lb's. Thats without factoring in your daily routine, so add another 1lb or so on top.

 

A healthy weight loss is around 2-3 lb a week. you need to be burning around 3000 calories to lose 1lb of fat.

 

Theres 14 lbs in a stone. so just doing absolutely nothing else but changing your diet can cause you to lose a stone a month until your body adapts and plateaus. Then you simply need to change your diet again to more carbs/protein etc.

 

This means 500 cals less of food a day over 7 days = 3500 cals.

 

3 days at the gym, each with around 500-1000 cals gone = another 2-3000 cals.

 

Daily routine is normally 200-400 cals.

 

If you like cycling, a 10 mile ride on the flat in a semi-high gear is around 700 cals or so, 20 miles is around 1400.

 

 

It all adds up.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..
