    • Another one. Apparently this has been hushed up for about three months. They're working through their majority quite fast with all the sackings. Not that they've done anything about Menzies yet but he sounds like a blackmail risk. Here's the original article.   Revealed: Tory MP allegedly demanded campaign cash to pay ‘bad people’ ARCHIVE.PH archived 18 Apr 2024 07:32:33 UTC  
    • and another one   MP Mark Menzies loses Tory whip as party investigates claims he misused funds The Fylde MP is alleged to have used campaign funds to pay off ‘bad people’ and cover medical expenses Never mind losing whip - how about criminal charges   MP Mark Menzies loses Tory whip as party investigates claims he misused funds WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK The Fylde MP is alleged to have used campaign funds to pay off ‘bad people’ and cover medical expenses According to the The Times, £14,000 given by donors for use on Tory campaign activities was transferred to Mr Menzies’ personal bank accounts and used for private medical expenses. The MP, who is one of Rishi Sunak’s trade envoys, is also said to have called his 78-year-old former campaign manager at 3.15am one day in December, claiming he was locked in a flat and needed £5,000 as a matter of “life and death”. The sum, which rose to £6,500, was eventually paid by his office manager from her personal bank account and subsequently reimbursed from funds raised from donors   "According to a source close to Mr Menzies, the MP had met a man on an online dating website and gone to the man’s flat, before subsequently going with another man to a second address where he continued drinking. He was sick at one point and several people at the address demanded £5,000, claiming it was for cleaning up and other expenses."   Hes supposed to use funding from Taxpayers and doners for a life of service, not funding a life of drink and debauchery Hope his parliamentary expenses are also investigated.   In fact, perhaps Mr Bates next role in life should be as an independent investigator of Parliamentary expenses?

    • 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.

Me too :D However the nice person at MCOL told me that the bailiff writes to them first of all :rolleyes: and gives them about 7 days to reply before going round :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Extraordinary, isn't it? This has been going on since 3rd April.

I've just phoned the bailiffs and I've been told they have to give the bank 10 days from issue of the warrant before making a visit. They've got the warrant as issued on 13th July so it'll be 23rd July. So if anyone lives near Southampton (I'm in Kent) and fancies an outing, don't forget the camera, in fact don't forget the camera crew :D - and I'll be adding on all these phonecalls too! So far I've phoned Edinburgh, Manchester, Northampton and Southampton twice.

Sorry, sorry BigCol :D

As the bailiffs told me to give it 10 days from the warrant being issued, I reckoned I should call them again this morning, which I have just done. 'My' bailiff is out of the office till Thurs. :eek: and there's nothing on the screen to say she has taken any action on the matter. The chap I spoke to told me they give them 8 days :confused: before going in and he thinks she'll deal with it on Thurs. Whatever, the bank would have got a letter about the warrant being issued and 8-10 days after that the bailiffs go in. I simply can't understand why RBS are ignoring this matter - I do hope I'm not a test case. What would I do with a load of desks :lol: or could I insist on laptops?

 

I think I'm going to have to PM a mod (which one?) and see if they've got any suggestions. I will keep you posted!

yours seems to have got lost in the system, the rest of us seem to be following a very similar pattern! whats annoying is they'll only apply for a set aside when they do finally acknowledge you!!!!!!!!!!!!! I bet your sick of waiting!

You're not wrong :D

I hope they won't dare apply for a set-aside after all this time but if they do, I believe both parties have to agree and I would be very tempted to say no! I've already demonstrated bucketloads of cooperation and tolerance etc. Oh well, I'll just have to keep on keeping on :smile:

Blue,

well gosh and darn it:eek: , more waiting! I'm not sure how the baliffs work, don't know whether they take some gear and then sell it and you get your dough or they give you the goods? My RBS has got a nice coffee machine that I've had my eye on, I wonder.......nah, screw 'em - we wants cash!!:p

 

Looking forwards to Thursday for you....

You know, I do worry about you fellas holding your breath like that. It can't be good for you :eek::D

 

I haven't posted because there's no news and in this case that's definitely not good news:rolleyes: I phoned the bailiffs again on Thurs. only to be told that it would 'most likely' be dealt with that week but I have still heard nothing and there was nothing in the mail. I just can't understand why I'm getting no response from the bank at all. I'm now going to PM a mod and I will let you all know as soon as I know anything!

I PM'd AlanfromDerby and he said that it could take as much as 28 :eek::shock: days for the bailiffs to go through the process of what they have to do. I still don't understand why the bank is not responding at all. I feel like the invisible woman - there's no icon for that - unless Bookworm's got one!!

I can't believe I was so naive. But my claim against First Direct went so smoothly I thought RBS would be the same :rolleyes:

Just registered with the site and have been reading through the posts before the onerous task of wading through 6 years worth of bank statements! Unfortunately I have 3 accounts with RBoS and 1 with Woolwich so after reading your thread I'm really worried now! :!:

 

Good Luck though and I'll keep watching and hopefully let you all know how my case in going soon!

I wouldn't worry too much - I think I have slipped through the net because Cobbetts forgot to put a reference on the acknowledgement of service :confused: . If you get as far as that on any of your claims, just remember to check that there is a Cobbetts ref. :D Good luck anyway ;)

Hello Stacy, no and no :Cry:

I'm pretty fed up as you can imagine! I calculate that the 28 days AlanfromDerby mentioned are up tomorrow but I just can't believe the bank has not responded at all - oops, yes I can :rolleyes:

Haven't a clue what to do next :confused::confused:

Hi

I'm at a similar stage to you BUT according to the court when I phoned on Tuesday to see if the bailiffs had been actioned, I was told yes and they had signed it off as the RBS had told the bailliffs they had paid me in full. Nobody tried checking with me which I find a bit (very!) strange. I now have to resend in the bailiffs, it won't cost any more money only time, which I really don't have.

 

Hope you're having more luck!!

I take it they haven't paid you in full?:rolleyes:

I've been phoning the bailiffs but not getting any info from anyone. I think I'll try the court again, in the light of what you've said. I wonder if this is a new ploy from RBS - drag it out long enough and we'll get bored - they think :rolleyes:

Thanks so much for that suggestion sbroad! I've just phoned Southampton court and discovered that the bailiffs have been in touch and RBS phoned the court this morning to ask what the claim was about :D :D Can you believe it - after all this time they still don't know what I'm claiming. Southampton suggested they phone Northampton. I'm still laughing...
