    • Thanks, dx. Yes, I may need to turn my attention into some other things.
    • no they wont  can you PLEASE stop panicking about a nothing burger   dx  
    • Where a person who owns or partially owns a property enters into an IVA, it's usual practice that in the fifth year, the person has to attempt to re-mortgage the property to release equity. It's extremely rare that a homeowner will be successful in re-mortgaging due to having a poor credit rating. Where the owner is unable to re-mortgage, the IVA is extended for a further year. This is absolutely normal practice in an IVA, and if your sister cancels payments to the IVA, the IVA is at risk of failing and she could be made bankrupt, therefore losing any equity she has in the property. 
    • Right. So I think it would be  good idea to give a brief description of the property, for example detached house, or flat or terraced. And some sort of identifier so we can distinguish from other properties you handle. An incomplete street address eg "No.14" would do so while preserving your privacy. Is the freehold title discrete for the property, or does it cover other leasehold properties? And a bit about your history, how current ownership came about. At one stage you said it used to be your family home, elsewhere you wrote that you'd bought the leasehold. Did those comments refer to this property? Did you acquire it on the open market, or from your family? Is this the house with the garages, where you own the freehold? Trying to understand whether there are underlying reasons that might account for problems with valuation, eligibility for finance, and the fact that neither you nor Lender found it possible to sell. Finally (for the moment) you refer to existing litigation. Does that relate to this property? If so it would be good to give a brief overview. Civil or criminal? What role do play .. claimant, defendant, appellant, respondent?  Charge, or cause of action. You don't want to go off on separate path that would better joined to the current proceedings.

    • 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.

Why don't you put some poison down also - then the environment and the balance of mother nature can be chipped away at just a little more :-)

 

Make sure your air rifle license its all up to date too :-)

rifle liscence??

Rules on gunbuying and licencing in the UK

 

To buy a shotgun in Britain you need to hold a Shotgun Certificate, and to buy a rifle you need to hold a Fire Arm Certificate. You can ask for forms for these from your local police station.

http://www.gundealer.net/rules.htm

 

 

You could also try not putting down so much chicken feed, as this is more likely what has attracted the rats in the first place.

Not only that - putting too much feed down for chickens isn't good for the chickens as becomes bad, thus attracting what people see as "vermin" (rats, but that's a matter of opinion) - thus resulting in happier chickens and rats that aren't lured to their death :-)

as for rats you will always get them when you have chickens.

 

I've just had chickens and I never got rats. I just got roast potatoes, carrot, turnip and gravy.:razz:

 

 

If all else fails, kick them where it hurts and SOD'EM;)

You want to be careful that rifle doesn't backfire on you :-)

 

Also, just in case you weren't aware - you can purchase humane traps, then release any rodents caught. Then perhaps clean up the area where the chickens are kept so you don't have any further problems.

 

Did you check that you had a valid firearms certificate? As you didn't seem to think you needed one.

Do Rats eat Budgies !!!

Well, my Uncle bred budgies in the 50's-60's, and they had a very big rat problem back then, but none of his were ever eaten by a rat! Also my OH's Dad had aviaries too, with budgies, finches, cockateels and he even kept a minor bird (although it did die of cold when an unexpected cold snap came during the night), also he kept chickens, but no deaths due to rats there either.

 

Rats if they can get in a birds nest would probably eat a chick if it were unable to get away - but again that's part of nature and the natural course of the food chain.

 

I don't see any wrong in animals dying for the purpose of feeding another and being part of the food chain - but being killed just because it's either classed as vermin or just for the sheer fun or profit of hunting - is very sad I feel.

You do now Blondie http://www.gundealer.net/rules.htm

 

To buy a shotgun in Britain you need to hold a Shotgun Certificate, and to buy a rifle you need to hold a Fire Arm Certificate. You can ask for forms for these from your local police station.

 

It is an offence to fire a gun within 50 feet of a roadway, public footpath or bridleway if by doing so any member of the public is endangered. It is an offence to carry a loaded gun in a public place without good reason. An gun may be considered loaded even if the bullets (or pellets in the case of air rifles) are in a detached magazine.

 

Post 1997 rule changes

 

From 1997, firearm and shotgun certification became more stringent. Among the extra hurdles added, people who now apply for Firearms Certificates have to provide two referees, and the police are able to revoke a Firearms Certificate in cases where the holder no longer has a good reason to possess firearms or ammunition.

 

 

Another animal doing what comes naturally is nature, we live in a rural area and I've never even seen a rat - usually nature keeps it's own balance especially in rural areas!

 

Perhaps Labrat doesn't want to let the rats death be in vain, and maybe will eat it? They do in China :lol:

 

I remember when even common shrews were classed as vermin (many moons ago lol!) - and I found one dead in my bin shed after my neighbour put poison down! But they're protected now under the wildlife and countryside act (1981).

rang police and checked - no liscence needed as long as its below 12fps muzzle velocity - it was around 11fps when i brought it and i doubt its got any stronger sitting in the garage

 

and the only reason im shooting them is humane traps havent worked - at least the ones the neighbour tried, its bated with areo bubbles which are the same as what the non humane traps that have worked are bated

 

ive had another look and ive found what looks like a few tunnels, ive had the hosepipe down a couple and stuffed bricks down the rest

think labrat (+ the police) is correct, no licence needed as per velocity/repeat mentioned. but, would still have to stick to certain firearms law; boundary, endangerment, supervision, age restrictions, etc as mentioned.

Oh well that's good - just as long as you don't end up being arrested for a serious crime if you didn't know about the new firearms laws!

 

Just a tip for the humane traps - rats are very partial to "Cadbury" chocolate, well at least mine were, they would turn their noses up at nestle :lol:

When I got mice in the house once (four cats, all too damn lazy to even look at the mice!) I baited the humane traps with Galaxy. It took great willpower not to eat it myself everytime I went past! The mice didn't touch it and eventaully cleared off of their accord - possibly to someone with a supply of Dairy Milk!

You know Janie, that wouldn't surprise me in the slightest! There is something about Cadbury chocolate that they can't resist!

 

So Labrat? Please if you're reading this - please, please, please try Cadbury chocolate in the humane traps :pray:

 

Oh and don't you just love cats Janie? That is a sign that your cats are very well fed, not in the least bit bored - and extremely contented! Oh and just ever so slightly lazy :lol:
